The Tour Down Under is over. Team Philosophe, Belle et Bonne and Marie are down at the beach, relaxing. At the moment they are all standing up to their waists in the sea. Team Crustacean are also at the beach, saying goodbye, a short distance away.
Belle et Bonne: How beautiful it is here. So much cooler.
Marie: Yes, the water is like jelly.
Sweezus: Jelly?
Surfing-With-Whales: She's right. Green jelly. Lime jelly. Just before it sets.
Sweezus: You're very imaginative. Okay, what if it sets?
The VeloDrone: What's this about jelly?
Le Bon David: Belle thinks the water is like jelly.
Marie: No, that was me.
Sweezus: But what if it sets?
Le Bon David: It's more lemon than lime.
Surfing-With-Whales: That's because you're facing the shore. And it's shallower there.
Belle et Bonne: How observant you are!
Sweezus( gloomily) : Everyone's observant but me.
The VeloDrone: Is that a new swimsuit Marie?
Marie: Yes, do you like it?
The VeloDrone: It blends in with the colours of the sea.
Belle et Bonne: Lime green? It's not lime green, papa.
Marie: No, it's more olive green. And off white. In an Aztec pattern.
Sweezus: It's a nice swimsuit, Marie. You hardly look any different from the sea.
Marie: Thanks Sweezie. You are observant.
The VeloDrone: That's what I said! How is it I don't get any thanks?
Marie: Everyone knows you're observant.
Le Bon David: Hey everyone! Look over there! Isn't that Team Crustacean?
And so it was. There was Ageless waving goodbye to Karko and Decca, and there was Starpuss, in a box without wheels, floating slowly out to sea .
