What has been happening, since Zak turned up at Green Point in the Hilux?
Cool things.
The waves have got bigger.
And Zak has brought two extra surfboards.
So when Sweezus and Arthur rock up there are three surfers out on the water.
Zak must've turned up, says Sweezus.
They drop their bikes and sit in a sand dune.
Best cold water surf breaks in the world, mutters Sweezus.
Arthur looks out to sea, where Zak is weaving and darting, Surfing-With-Whales is inside a wave tunnel, and Stew has come off in the spume.
Arthur gets up, walks over to the Hilux, looks in the window.
Yes! Sandwiches wrapped up in cling wrap.
Life is good.
Bruuummm? Errrk! Squuee! It's the camper. (A Wicked. You get what you pay for.)
Arthur! shouts Unni. You're here!
Arthur! shouts Terence. Look what we've got!
A camper, says Arthur.
We hired it, says Rosamunda. We didn't want to leave you guys with no transport.
No, says Arthur. You did though.
I mean for too long, says Rosamunda. Katherine wanted her car back.
Gaius climbs down from the camper.
Wonderful! says Gaius. Arthur, I have a job for you.
He is about to elaborate when Marx utters an exclamation.
Ach! ( or something like that).
Marx has emerged from the camper and noticed the writing on the back for the first time.
He reads aloud: 'Inside every princess there's a slut who wants to try it just once.'
Try what? says Terence.
I object to such pre-revolutionary slogans, says Marx. You girls disappoint me.
Unni and Rosamunda go round to the back of the camper.
That's why it was cheap says Unni. It's the holidays, and there was no one to do a new paint job.
Yes, says Rosamunda. We promised to fix it before we return it. Meanwhile we can't drive near any minors.
Am I a minor? says Terence.
Yes but you're on the inside, says Rosamunda.
I'm getting out now, says Terence. What does slut mean?
It's a fairy story, says Rosamunda. About a princess. But we need to change the ending. Any ideas?
Terence starts thinking.....thinking......thinking......what goes with princess?
Inside every princess is a PRINCE! says Terence.
Oh yes, like that works, says Unni.
It kind of DOES, says Rosamunda.
They both laugh.
What's so funny? says Gaius, who till now has been occupied talking to Arthur.
He reads the pre-revolutionary slogan.
Ha ha, laughs Gaius. I see. Oh, but....
Too late.
Everyone is offended.
