OPERA: Phew! I just had THE best time!
RENA: What did you do?
OPERA: Well, I found this new gambling place - what was it's name - anyway, I
was gambling, I had my jacket on the line, and I wound up winning 500 FOL!
Yes, gambling IS my type of thing!
RENA: I see....
OPERA: Well, I've got to go and gamble some more... LATER, RENA!
RENA: Bye, now. (calling out) BE SURE TO COME TO REGIS' PARTY!!!!

CHAPTER 3:

Dias is trying to buy chairs from a salesman....

DIAS: Hello, I'm Dias Flac... I need about 60 chairs to rent for a big party.
It's for the mayor of Arlia VIllage, Regis.
SHOPKEEPER: I'm sorry, but we can't let you rent that many chairs....
DIAS: What? Why not?
SHOPKEEPER: Well, we have a very limited number of staff, and we all can't
carry so many chairs to the party....
DIAS: ... I'll help!
SHOPKEEPER: Sorry, it's against store policy...
DIAS: Look, I'll even throw in extra FOL. Besides, what harm could it do?....
SHOPKEEPER: ....
DIAS: So, can I?....
SHOPKEEPER: ... OK! Fine! I'll let you rent the chairs!
DIAS: OK! Now, what should I do?
SHOPKEEPER: You can start by paying me....
DIAS: Oh... there you are....

CHAPTER 4:

OPERA: Woo - hoo!
....
OPERA: I'm winning!
GAMBLER: Sheesh, she's good....
....
OPERA: This IS my type of game!!

Opera won 1,000 more FOL in this gambling round.

OPERA: Yeah! Saved my dress, and won more FOL, too!
....
OPERA: Uh, oh....
....
OPERA: I have no more objects to bet....
OWNER: That's right, and you can't use your FOL to gamble with, eithor.
OPERA: Looks like I'll need to get some more stuff....

Meanwhile, Celine is cooking Baby Rabbit Risatto in Rena's house....

CELINE: OK, I need to add some more spice....
....
CELINE: OK, now for this....

Rena enters the room....

RENA: How is the cooking going?
CELINE: Oh, quite well. I also have another kitchen going at Mr. Bossman's.
RENA: Really?
CELINE: Yes.
RENA: Well, I think I'll buy presents for Regis. Claude and Ashton are already
doing so....
CELINE: I'll see you later, Rena.

CHAPTER 5:

Claude and Ashton are shopping for Regis....

CLAUDE: What do you think Regis would want?
ASHTON: ... No idea....
GYORO and URURUN: Awrk, awroo!....
CLAUDE: Too bad Rena wasn't with us....

Rena catches up to Claude and Ashton....

RENA: Ashton, you're still wearing those shoes!?
CLAUDE: He refused to take them off....
RENA: I see....
CLAUDE: Oh, Rena?
RENA: Yes?
CLAUDE: What do you think Regis would want as a gift?
ASHTON: We couldn't figure it out!
RENA: ... Hmmm... maybe a new cane?
CLAUDE: Do you think he'll like it?
RENA: Well, you asked me, didn't you?
CLAUDE: Oh... right.
RENA: A new cane will be the perfect gift!
GYORO and URURUN: Awrk, awrk, awrk!....

CHAPTER 6:

Dias and other villagers are carrying chairs....

DIAS: Thank goodness we were able to get these chairs...
VILLAGER 1: Where will we hide these until tomorrow?
VILLAGER 2: Yeah, we can't just leave them at Regis'. He'll know we're up to
something....
DIAS: (to himself) So, it IS a SURPRISE party....
VILLAGER 3: My arms are killing me!....
DIAS: OK, let's go towards the Shingo forest. It's fairly safe, and Regis is
too old to go there.

After checking that Regis is not out and about in Arlia village, the group
sneaks the chairs into the Shingo Forest.

DIAS: OK, just remember to come back tomorrow for these....
VILLAGERS: OK!

The group leaves. Time passes.

....

Opera wanders into the Shingo Forest.

OPERA: Maybe parts from my crashed spaceship will be good to bet....
....
OPREA: What?... Chairs?
...
OPERA: Hmmm....

CHAPTER 7:

Celine is still cooking food....

CELINE: OK, just a little more pepper....
....

The container breaks, spilling all the pepper on the Baby Rabbit Risatto....

CELINE: Oh, no!....
....
CELINE: Errr...

Reluctantly, Celine keeps cooking the Risatto, despite the fact that is has an
extra coating of pepper.

CHAPTER 8:

OPERA: OK, if I loose, you get to keep several dozen chairs, OK?
????: OK.
GAMBLER: Uh, oh.
OPERA: What?
GAMBLER: Don't you know who he is?
OPERA: Eh, no....
GAMBLER: His name is Deficit Prime. He's the best gambler on all of Expel....
OPERA: (gulp)

Time passed....

DEFICIT: Oops, it looks like you lost!
OPERA: No, it can't be!
DEFICIT: Me and my henchman will colect the chairs, now....
OPERA: ....

The next day, in the SHingo Forest....

DIAS: WHAT!? Where are the chairs?
VILLAGER 1: ....
DIAS: Now what?
VILLAGER 2: I guess the only party will be one without chairs....
VILLAGER 3: ... I was afraid of that....

CHAPTER 9:

Later, at the party....

CLAUDE: Where are the chairs?
DIAS: ... Stolen....
CLAUDE: What?
DIAS: They're gone.
CLAUDE: But... how will we?....

Celine enters Regis' house.

CELINE: Sorry I'm late, food trouble. Oh, he's still not here yet?
MAID: He's just waking up. Oh, oh... here he comes.
EVERYONE: SURPRISE!!!!
REGIS: What? Oh, heavens....
RENA: Happy birthday, Regis!
REGIS: Well, I didn't quite expect....
CLAUDE: It may not be perfect - as you'll soon find out - but it's a party.
ASHTON: Let'sparty!
GYORO and Ururun: Awrk, awrk, awroo!....

END

The party crwd is restless from standing....

DIAS: I need to sit somewhere! There are not enough chairs here initially....
ASHTON: If I stand any more, my bunny slippers will be wrecked!
CELINE: Baby Rabbit Risatto, anyone?
CLAUDE: Uh, Celine? Everyone's sick of the Risatto....
CELINE: ....
CLAUDE: Maybe you added too much of something....
CELINE: I KNEW it!!!!

After the party....

OPERA: I can't believe it!....
....
OPERA: How could I not win in gambling?
....
OPERA: Maybe I'm NOT cut out for gambling after all....
....
OPERA: Oh, well....

Scene fades with Opera centered. End.
