Blurp-fizz!

Ageless continues to crack

Terence, bring me the spring water, says Gaius.

Terence runs off and comes back.

Gaius splashes Ageless with water.

Crik-clik! says Ageless That's better.

Sweezus is meeting us at the bus station with a bucket of water, says Gaius.

For me? says Ageless. 

Yes for you, says Gaius.

And he wants to talk team tictacs, says Terence.

Team tactics, says Gaius. 

Cru-urk! goes Ageless, again. 

Let me splash him, says Terence.

He takes the spring water from Gaius and empties it over Ageless. 

You've wet the bus seat, says Gaius. I'll have to tell Stanley.

He goes down to the front of the bus.

Nearly there, says Stanley.

So I see, says Gaius. But I must apologise. We've wet the back seat.

We? says Stanley.

No of course not, says Gaius. Just water.

It'll dry, says Stanley. I've had worse, believe me.

The bus pulls into the Flinders Street Station and stops.

It's Ageless, says Gaius. He's moulting. 

There's a guy with a bucket standing there waiting, says Stanley. 

It's been pre-arranged, says Gaius.

Stanley opens the door of the bus.

Gaius gets down. 

Hi! says Sweezus. Where's the patient?

Give me the bucket, says Gaius.

No buckets on the bus! says Stanley. Sorry.

So Gaius gets back on the bus without the bucket.

He goes to the back seat and gathers up Ageless. 

Shall I bring the broken parts? asks Terence.

Don't need 'em, mutters Ageless.

Gaius carries Ageless to the front of the bus.

Where are the missing parts? asks Stanley.

Ageless doesn't need them, says Terence.

Well, I don't need them, says Stanley.

Denis will collect them, says Gaius.

Denis has come to the front of the bus.

Now he has to go back, and pick up the pieces of carapace.

At last everyone is off the bus and Ageless is in Sweezus's bucket.

Blurp-fizz!

Denis has found a bin for the bits.

The bicycles have been unloaded.

Cutting it fine for the Tour Down Under, says Stanley.

Can't be helped, says Gaius.

Yeah, well, says Sweezus. Let's go.

Gaius and Denis wheel their bikes to where Sweezus has left his bike, outside the bus station.

Sweezus hooks the bucket onto his handlebar.

Terence goes in Denis's backpack.

They head for Gaius's house.

Denis and Terence are in front.

Sweezus and Gaius are behind them. 

Ageless swings back and forth in the bucket, while Sweezus and Gaius talk team tactics.
