Delays Delays

I suppose we don't need to tell them, says Gaius. They'll see that we've gone.

I've still got their car keys, says Kant.

That is a problem, says Gaius.

Does that mean WE can go in the car? asks Terence.

No it doesn't, says Gaius. It means we can't leave here just yet.

Let me try and attract their attention, says Kant.

Good luck, says Gaius.

Kant walks up the beach to where Gaius was earlier.

Delays, delays, says Gaius.

That's a good song, says Terence.

It isn't a song, says Gaius. It's me complaining.

Delays, delays, sings Terence.

Whitey and Fritzy come down from the carpark with their boards.

Nice song, thermometer guy, says Whitey, 

Whitey and Fritzy! says Terence. Guess what?

YOU guess what, says Fritzy. 

What? asks Terence.

It's Easter! says Whitey. And we got you something. Which hand?

That one, says Terence. 

Whitey brings that hand to the front. In it is a Kinder bunny, wrapped in foil.

It's a rabbit! cries Terence.

What is it? asks Gaius. Well that's nice. An Easter rabbit. 

He frowns slightly.

It's a bad idea to tell Terence it's Easter.

He asks too many questions.

Don't eat it all at once, says Fritzy.

I won't, says Terence.

Are you  going back in the water? asks Gaius.

Yeah, we are, says Fritzy.

Would you mind telling Sweezus and Arthur we're wanting to leave but we have their car keys, says Gaius.

No worries, says Whitey.

They head back to the surf with their boards.

This could work out well. The only thing that could go wrong is if Whitey or Fritzy reminds Sweezus it's Easter.

How to ruin his day.
