"Let's make it a safari-themed party."
For a moment Susanna senses a kicking in her belly, but she brushes it aside.
James asks, "Is something leaking on the pathway?"
"I smell oregano!", exclaims Susanna, "Oh! That's it! I forgot to eat!"
James says, "Something funny is happening with the plants; they're leaking like olive branches."
"Is it possible they were struck by lightening?"
"James, I'm feeling weak and disadvantaged, I'm about to blackout from my cravings."
"My humerus is out of whack and it's all because the magic is finally leaving my system."
"James, why didn't you bring me a brioche?"
James starts to stutter as he is overtaken by laughter.
"I-I-I brought a whole feast of chicken lo mein and everything else you can imagine."
He gently leads her through the house towards the front door, and upon stepping outside they enter a giant fair that James has organized just for her.
Susanna giddily exclaims, "Hunkapappa! Look at that amazing sight! Can we start with the food?"
She runs right over to a sign that says "Brain food from all over the world".
She hungrily devours each sample plate and she's so happy she does a little Myrtle dance.
She skips over to a sign that says "Trees of the world" and all her senses blossom and come to life.
Suddenly, she sees a twin image of herself but she doesn't believe her eyes.
Confused, she turns to James and says, "I'm weirded out and that's making me mad."
James quickly says, "You know, when I get mad, it gets scary; when you get mad, it gets funny."
Susanna punches his arm and scowls, "Who's side are you on?"
"If you won't protect me, you're just an unauthorized visitor."
Uncertainly, Susanna faces the twin image...
