Some hang time in the ‘HOOD of Happy Puppy KEE-RA was up next, as the three buddies needed to work out a GP (Game Plan) leveraging Jeep-volution proof points and how to prepare his “Mama” MEREDITH for DING!THING occurrences.
We say “three” but it just isn’t in WONDER / WANDER (WANDER / WONDER) Kat MR SQUEEK’s nature to hang out for long. Nevertheless, the focused effort was worth-while. But you be the judge. Let’s listen in… —The Gang
Catch-up here…
Jeep-volution has been going on for a while…
- Welcome to…
- Part 2 here…
- Part 3 here…
Now on with the show!!
Let us begin, shall we ??
FADE IN:
EXT. NEIGHBORHOOD STOOP
KEE-RA
Wow guys! This is a nice surprise. Hang time with…
He PAW-BUMPs them.
MR SQUEEK
Well… You guys do some catchin’ up as I have…
RC THE STORYTELLER
Things to do… Of course you do.
MR SQUEEK
A thought though… I know a topic was… the JEEP thing…
RC THE STORYTELLER
JEEP-VOLUTION!
MR SQUEEK
Truly remarkable… but… I’d like a little shift back to FINN-FINN.
KEE-RA
Neighbor pal?? He’ll be rolling with his new human by in a bit.
MR SQUEEK
Cool, but… not exactly where I was heading…
KEE-RA
My bad… please continue…
MR SQUEEK
K-so… back when I was insistently nudging former Suit, LADY KATIE to tell the story of HERE as in THE WORLD OF JOY, the intent was…
RC THE STORYTELLER
Unleash The FOUND HOUND TALE…?
MR SQUEEK
Well… Yes, and… There’s more… Lots more…
RC THE STORYTELLER
More as in “to the story…” ??
Kee-Ra starts hopping up and down energetically.
KEE-RA
A WHY, huh…?
Mr Squeek makes the DING! sign extending his fingers to look like an ANTENNA and nods. Pointing to Kee-Ra, he addresses RC.
… Let’s step back and re-visit WHY we nudge… And IDEALLY what we’d like to accomplish…
MR SQUEEK
Perceptive Puppy INDEED! (pauses). Let’s step back and re-visit WHY we nudge… And IDEALLY what we’d like to accomplish.
KEE-RA and RC look at each other and then back at Mr Squeek.
RC THE STORYTELLER
Enlighten us, please
Looking at Kee-Ra, Mr Squeek drives that conversation.
MR SQUEEK
My sources told me… you had some DING!-ing going on during a CREEK TRAIL JAUNT with LADY KATIE…
RC looks over at Kee-Ra who nods.
RC THE STORYTELLER
Interesting!
MR SQUEEK
And you… RC as Storyteller… er Gremlin… Over at Jedemi, were you there when NEW OWNER gifted LADY KATIE a first draft of TAMING OF THE CHEF.
RC THE STORYTELLER
Well aware of it, I am. Something she wrote years ago…
MR SQUEEK
Well… I had an objective back in my JEDEMI DOORKAT days to get our former Suit to … DRAW…
I said, DRAW ME A MANGA… and was thinking FINN-FINN…
RC THE STORYTELLER
FINN-FINN as a MANGA story?
Hand on chin, he ponders while Mr Squeek continues.
MR SQUEEK
Would’ve been cool… But what you guys did… How you “collabed” was like… IMPRESSIVE…
RC THE STORYTELLER
That was a fun series… @TheSEA visitors… great audience… helped for sure!
KEE-RA
You guys did it justice… Your storytelling got people curious about the original story as CREATED by our neighborhood STORYTELLER, Carol Pollard… People come by all the time…
Kee-Ra points to a house.
KEE-RA
Kinda… Something mystical-magical happened and copies … LAY-FLATs are on that porch — in a CLEAR SWEATER box…
RC THE STORYTELLER
Crashing HER stoop??
KEE-RA
Nah! To protect her privacy, the box is on another porch… a neighbor who travels a lot. We keep an eye on things.
MR SQUEEK
That’s cool… but let me finish and you guys can talk about ‘HOOD THINGs and DING!THINGs and whatever else tickles your fancy.
RC THE STORYTELLER
Gotcha, Pal…
Kee-Ra nods and Mr Squeek continues.
MR SQUEEK
Where was I… oh yeah… The TAMING OF THE CHEF story… a great project for both of you… Talk it up on the trail Kee-Ra. Please and thank-you.
KEE-RA
Copy that, my friend!
MR SQUEEK
And you Mr RC… in whatever form factor / shape you choose… Let’s keep a nice PENTEL ENER-GEL nearby for paper sketching AND, for sure, that SLABBY THING…
RC THE STORYTELLER
Will do!
MR SQUEEK
Alrighty… My work here is done.
KEE-RA
Pleasure getting some hang time with ya, Mr Squeek!
RC THE STORYTELLER
So, how ya getting back? Should I meet you somewhere…?
MR SQUEEK
I’ll answer with a suggestion as a MEET-UP, I can not guarantee…
RC THE STORYTELLER
I know. Ya gotta WANDER… So what’s the suggestion?
MR SQUEEK
BECKMANN’s
There’s a long pause. Kee-Ra studies RC’s face and notices…
KEE-RA
A REWIND…? Working the Remote Control, my Pal??
There’s a slight delay before he answers.
…from JEDEMI… VIV hearted the BECKMANN’s… old world bread…
RC THE STORYTELLER
Ah! Now I remember… from JEDEMI and another venture of VIV’s… She hearted the BECKMANN’s… old world bread…
KEE-RA
Yum-Yum??
RC THE STORYTELLER
Waffled Sandwiches… The best and then weekly POP-UPs she’d host…
Kee-Ra, head tilted, as he visualizes.
RC THE STORYTELLER
I don’t get it… So how is… this … related to returning to the WESTSIDE?
MR SQUEEK
They are based in SANTA CRUZ and deliver direct to store. Your corner market… if you time it right…
RC THE STORYTELLER
Ah! Stow away… Get back to BECKMANN HQ and then…
MR SQUEEK
Your choice… HITCH or UBER…
RC THE STORYTELLER
Sure… Got HAPPY BARISTA/UBER DRIVER KIMBA on the speed dial…
As he shows his RAZR to Kee-Ra, Mr Squeek makes his exit.
KEE-RA
And just like that…
RC THE STORYTELLER
Vanishing… That’s how he do…
And from a block or so away, in the wind they hear…
MR SQUEEK
KOKO!
Again, Kee-Ra gives the head tilt.
RC THE STORYTELLER
Means KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON… KOKO…
KEE-RA
Oh… Right… I know that…
RC THE STORYTELLER
Guess we need should circle back on the DING!THING and creating environments conducive to…
KEE-RA
Yeah… leverage our time and ponder relevant stories and…
RC THE STORYTELLER
Can we do a lap and then begin?
KEE-RA
Of course!
He reaches behind a planter near the stoop and produces a sign: BRB !!
KEE-RA
In case Mama comes looking. Don’t want her worrying.
They then bounce down the steps and disappear…
FADE OUT.
Pencils down…
Sometimes it is good to do a sort of re-group… Hear out loud the GAME PLAN so you can formulate ways to make magic happen. Exciting times both here and on the WESTSIDE as the JOURNEY(s) continue… truly KOKO!
It’s gonna be…
Hold Music??
We always liked the idea of WATERFALLs and “WONDERFALLs” …
Here’s a reprise of a tune from an earlier POST.
