The First Goodbye.

Belle et Bonne and Midge pull up in Surf Fink, just as Bunny is escaping through the bedroom window.

Bunny! calls Belle et Bonne. Where are you going?

I'm running away from dad, says Bunny. He wants to lock me up.

Outrageous! says Midge.

We'll see about that, says Belle et Bonne. Don't run away. Come back inside with us.

They knock on the front door.

Tom-Jelte opens it. He is surprised to see Bunny.

Hello! says Tom-Jelte. I think you have a twin! She is in the bedroom.

No that's me, says Bunny. I climbed out of the window.

That is funny, says Tom-Jelte. And now you come in the front door.

Yes, yes, says Midge. Can we please come in?

Yah! Come in ladies, says Tom-Jelte. The father is having a fit.

Poor dad, says Bunny. She goes into the kitchen, followed by Midge, Belle and Tom.

Lauren and Surfing-With-Whales are plying Ray Moon with water and pills.

Mrs Hume and Arthur are eating the last of the scones.

Sweezus has gone to the bathroom.

Dad, says Bunny. Are you ill?

Bunny, says Ray Moon faintly. You haven't run away?

I have, says Bunny. I just haven't gone yet.

What's this about locking her up? says Belle et Bonne.

Ray Moon hiccups and falls back in a swoon.

He's dead, says Arthur.

No he isn't, says Surfing-With-Whales. But he'll be out for some time.

Bunny looks peeved. What did you give him? she asks.

Something of mum's, says Surfing-With-Whales.

Right, says Sweezus, coming out of the bathroom. Is everyone ready to leave?

We can't leave, says Belle et Bonne. Look at Ray.

He can stay here till he wakes up, says Lauren. Bob and I will look after him. You can go.

What about me? says Bunny. I'm not staying if he is.

Come with us then, says Belle et Bonne. You'll have more fun in Adelaide than here.

They all go outside and pile into the camper. Bunny, Sweezus, Arthur, Mrs Hume, Belle et Bonne, Midge and Tom-Jelte.

Bye! they wave to the ones they are leaving behind, who are conscious.

Surfing-With-Whales watches the van disappear.

Lost the girlfriend and gained the father, says Lauren. Bad luck again, dear.
