Two days away

[onebadapple]

My goodness! It's so nice to see so many new faces, and so near to Walt's birthday! Just two days away! A hundred and twelve... my goodness how time flies!

I think he'd be quite fond of the newest additions too!

Maybe we'll even meet them in a game some day, wouldn't that be grand?

Maybe even here!

One hundred twelve. This Walt is not human?

[onebadapple]

Hmmm.... well, some certainly think that, but no, he's very human.

[tinmanator]

He must be healthy.

[onebadapple]

Hmm... no, not quite that either. [But it's far too sad to talk about the "if he were alive today."]

[firsttimeinforever]

Do you really think so? That he'd be fond of us, I mean?

[onebadapple]

I don't see why he wouldn't be! Walt was always about innovation and new techniques and new skills. Why, the things he created for the things he wanted, you would be so surprised, Anna!

[firsttimeinforever]

Probably! I don't know anything about all of that, I can't draw much better than I could when I was five. [stage whisper] Trust me-- I've tried.

[onebadapple]

Well, I think we'll leave the drawing to Rapunzel, but don't worry, Anna, you probably have oodles of other skills.

[firsttimeinforever]

Weeeeeell, I'm not half bad at throwing snowballs! And riding bikes? I still fall off it a lot so maybe that doesn't count. Ooo! Elsa's teaching me to ice skate!

[all very important skills]

What about you? I bet you're graceful like Elsa, you look like you are.

[onebadapple]

Well, I'm quite the cook! And I can sew and clean and I've got all my animal friends I can speak with! But oh, Elsa is very graceful, that might be more Cinderella and Aurora than me.

[firsttimeinforever]

Well, pretty much everybody's more graceful than me, so I'm not really sure on that, you know? No baseline!

Wow, you can do a lot! I can embroider, a little. I think my mother always expected me to be kinda bad at it 'cause I'm so clumsy all the time and I always poke myself with the needle, but when I sit down and work at it, it doesn't turn out too bad most of the time.

Well, she and Gerda always said they were nice anyway. I guess they could've been fudging the truth a bit.

[dawnbreaks]

I am both flattered and delighted that you think he'd be fond of myself and my sister, Miss Snow.

[onebadapple]

Not at all, Elsa. And please, just call me Snow! But yes, I think he would have loved you both, after all, so much love went into making you. That's what really matters, you know.

[changeitroundsome]

A hundred and twelve. Time sure does fly, don't it? Ya'll should throw him a party.

[There can be music, dancing, a little violent revenge for some of them. It'd be fun]

[onebadapple]

Dr. Facilier! Well, if we throw a party you'll have to come!

[changeitroundsome]

I wouldn't miss it for the world, Darlin'. We can have ourselves a real shindig. Even have a few party games. Like bobbin' for apples. Just an example.

[onebadapple]

Ah well...

[Her smile becomes only a little uneasy.] We can certainly have the game, if that's what everyone wants. I would have to politely pass on it, however.

[changeitroundsome]

No need to worry about that. I'll screen each and every apple, and make sure they're all exactly the same.

[They'll just ALL be poisoned]

[onebadapple]

Oh why! That's so nice of you! Thank you so much! But do be careful, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, you know.

[intotheopenair]

A 'undred an' twelve. That's ... right old, so it is.

... Ye really think he'd like all us... I mean, all the 'newest additions'?

[onebadapple]

I do, Merida. You and everyone since. I don't see why he wouldn't be, there are wonderful qualities in all of you.

[intotheopenair]

[Ah, bless yer wee heart, Snow. Merida grins]

Aye, we're a right motley crew, sae we are.

[onebadapple]

Mmhmm. And Walt was always about new technique, new challenges and how to face them.

[intotheopenair]

Must ha' been nice. Tae know him.

[onebadapple]

It was, yes. He was very dedicated, very particular about what he liked though, and always pushing everyone to do their very best.
