Been therre; sseen it; thankfful Ai can land on maiy ffeet afterr a long ffall.

Couldn't they have had a dwarf staircase. Each step is nearly half a dwarf high.

*scrambles up the stairs on all fours getting her dress all dirty where the knees are* These steps aren't so easy for me, either, you know! But it's worth it for the view! Wow! Are any of you afraid of heights? I'm not afraid of nuthin'!

* Takes his position in the highest spot he can find, waiting for the curtain fall. *

* curtain RISE. *

*Spies action in the gingerbread cottage*

Drat, wrong set!

*Teeters indecisively about whether to go onto the stage or stay where he is, until gravity decides for him. *

Aha. I think I've been here before.

*emerges at the top of the cliff and bottom of the spiral staircase and stops to look at the view*

Now THIS is the place to stop for a picnic!

*touches down*

Very pretty. And the air is so clear.

*takes a deep cleansing breath*

aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

--is button on the TIH&G... Oop! Well... Howdy, everyone! (flicks off his MiniMag flashlight, then profers the batch of custard cremes to Lil) Oh, before I forget; here's the cookies you were looking for. Seems the 'monster' didn't need them any more. Either that or he'll be blundering around down there looking for his "preciousss"...

B4

What a view!

Bit blowy though in winter.

*a gust of wind picks up momentarily, proving Caer right and causing the "mouths" to make deep "HO" noises*

Now that is spooky. Thanks B4! *stuffs custard creams in her backpack*

Does anyone see a sheltered spot where we can enjoy the view and another cup of tea but not get blown away? *looks around*

*arrives at the base of the spiral staircase*

Oh look at that view. If there was a way of bottling it and selling it, I'd make my fortune.

It is beautiful isn't it?

If it wasn't for , strange strangers, s and outlaws this would be a wonderful holiday away from all the housework.

[Front]: Puff! Puff! This'll finish off my knees, you know. I've always suffered with my knees.

[Back]: I believe I can fly...

[Front]: Don't start that again or you will indeed be touching the sky. Why does your levitation glove work but mine doesn't? Still, the view was worth it.

*scrambles up behind Buttercup*

**With a flash of golden light, Purr materializes behind the Pantomime Cow and Amy the . He's in the midst of toppling onto the steps, but with his cat-like reflexes, spins at the last second, narrowly missing landing on Amy, and ending up on his haunches and reclining on one elbow as if he meant to be so acrobatic. In this particular position, he's on a level to see eye-to-ommitidia with our miniscule master artist.**

[Purr] Grreetings, Miss Myrrmecoid...urr...Ai mean, Miss Amy. Harrumph! And it's a good thing Ai did miss you, too. Wouldn't do to crrush a memberr of the Audience, now would it?

**He springs to his feet, mindful of Amy's position, and espies the bovine tail he's been...tailing[?].**

[Purr] You lead a merry chase...a verry merry chase, indeed, dearr Queen of Dairry. But thank you, neverrtheless, for prrecipitating maiy arrival here at the next scene...

Quack!
