“OK,” said an increasingly aggravated Cheeky Monkey HD.Com. “You’ve finished your toast and we’ve started a new chapter; will you now tell me if you’ve seen Brian (The Dog-Sheep), so that he and I can set off on our adventure to find The Mushroom Cow, which Brian lost through his own negligence?”

“Yes, I can tell you,” replied Sundry. “But firstly, can I just express how well you recapped previous events in your question to me? I can only describe it as #TopExposition.”

“We don’t have time for that. Please just answer the question.”  

“What’s going on here?” interrupted a third voice.  Cheeky Monkey HD.Com and Sundry turned around to reveal All; fresh and dripping from his jaunt in the splashy ocean.  “Is there anything I can help with?”

“I’m sorry, All,” replied Cheeky Monkey HD.Com.  “But I really need to just get Sundry to let me know if he knows where Brian is.”  Our fearless, yet frustrated hero turned his attentions directly to Sundry.  “Do. You. Know. Where. Brian. Is?”

“No, I don’t” replied Sundry, solemnly.

“RAAARRRRRRRRRRR!” exclaimed Cheeky Monkey HD.Com, in what can only be described as a scream.  He also dropped to his knees and aimed his cry towards the sky, in a last, desperate attempt to convey how dramatic this all was.  Eventually his primal roar subsided. “What am I supposed to do now?”

“Well,” interjected All.  “I know where Brian is.”   And with that, Cheeky Monkey HD.Com, All and Sundry broke out into an impromptu and energetic celebratory jig. (If anything, all the dancing could have been seen as nothing more than yet another unnecessary distraction, but I don’t think it would be helpful at this stage for me to point this out.)

Eventually, the jigging came to a natural conclusion.

“So,” enquired the Cheeky One.  “Where is Brian?”

“Well, I can’t tell you yet.” replied All.  “We’ve reached the end of another chapter.”

Cheeky Monkey HD.Com sighed heavily.
