BACKGROUND WATER NOISE STOPS
CAR BEEPS TWICE
TIMER RINGS
STYX comes in first with boxes and carries them downstairs. VESPER, VENUS, and JUPITER carry groceries to the kitchen.
The bathroom door opens and a wet dog runs towards the couch. JOURNEY grabs him before he jumps on WILLOW. JOURNEY shoots a death glare towards the twins.
JOURNEY
What. The. Hell. What is wrong with you two! You know Willow is trying to rest! And-- [WILLOW grunts]
WILLOW is attempting to sit up.
WILLOW
Journey. Stop talking.
JOURNEY's grip on the dog slips and he hops on the couch and laps Willow's face.
Well hello, Sam. I've missed you too. Azlyn help me get up. I smell food and I'm hungry.
AZLYN
What? No! You need to lie down! [goes to push her back]
JOURNEY
I agree.
WILLOW
But..then I'll be eating on the couch. [pointed look at JUPITER as she approaches them]
JUPITER lightly gasps.
JUPITER
No eating on the couch!
JOURNEY
[lightly pulling at her hair] I-ah-eh-gr-ugh! [purses lips together] I'll carry you to the table.
WILLOW laughs as JOURNEY carries her to the long table.
AZLYN, JUPITER, and LUNA follow them.
AZLYN
[pouting, turning towards Jupiter] She played you like a violin.
WILLOW winks.
MERCURY
SUPPER'S READY!
