[As Kids; during the fateful, ruined 11th Birthday Party: Part 2]
Thurston: *sniffs and nods* Okay… we can try…
Tucker: *now stomping on the ground* I want a prezzie NOW!!
Cedrick: Tucker, No!!
Edgar: Just one-
Elizabeth: No, and that’s is final!! Go gather at the table, and let Thurston blow out the candles on what is left of his birthday cake.
(Everyone gathers at the table as Elizabeth starts to light the candles she had put on, and before Thurston could blow them out, Tucker crawls onto the table and blows them out for him)
Nadine: Aww, so sweet of you to let him do that Thurston!
Thurston: *stares at Tucker in shock, unsure of what to say* …
Elizabeth: Tucker! Those candles weren’t for you to blow out! *starts to relight the candles* here you go, Rusty
Thurston: *about to blow the candles*
Tucker: *blows them out again, and squeals with enjoyment as he claps his hands* Yay!! Again! Again!!
Cedrick: *moves to pick up Tucker* Nope, no again! Get over here, and be a good boy and let your uncle blow the candles out on his cake
Tucker: No! *stands up and starts moving away, kicking the whole cake over onto the floor in the process* Oopsie…
Sonny: *looks at Edgar* What the fuck, man?!
Nadine: Don’t be mad at him, it was just an accident!
Mr. Pteranodon: *looks at Edgar and Nadine* Even so, control your crotch gremlin!!
Edgar: Who do you think you are to talk to my wife like that?!
Mr. Pteranodon: Someone who’s not an arrogant, stuck up asshole!
(Thurston starts crying, before anyone could go to comfort him, he immediately runs to his bedroom and slams the door behind him, Edgar and Nadine both look clueless as they notice all the other parents glaring at them, the other kids rush to go check on Thurston)
Edgar: Why are you looking at us like that?
Arthur: Gee, I don’t know? Maybe because you ruined our baby brother’s birthday!!
Avery: This isn’t even the only birthday party this year you allowed your kid to wreak havoc! We all ignored it because the worst he did was cry because he didn’t get to blow out the candles, but to allow it to go to this extent?! By letting him have a slice of Thurston’s cake, and to blow out his candles, not once, but twice?! Then to let him run on the table and knock what’s left of it onto the floor? Shameful!
Cedrick: You didn’t even give your brother a proper apology!
Edgar: Come on! Tucker’s still a baby!
(Almost all of the other grown ups start yelling at Edgar how it’s not an excuse for such behaviour, and how he has been a lousy older brother, and guest)
Eliza: My sister’s kids never acted like that when they were his age! All 6 of them, and she’s a single mother! What’s your excuse?!
Grandma Pteranodon: Same! Sort of… None of my 3 kids did either!
Arthur: My 3 kids would never even think about it!
Cedrick: Not a single one of you 9 boys did anything like this either! You all knew better! You’re way too lenient on that boy!!
Edgar: Mum! Come on! You must understand that Tucker doesn’t know any better!
Elizabeth: *glares at Edgar* You’re right, he doesn’t.
Edgar: See-
Elizabeth: -And that’s because you never taught him better. You need to take your family, and leave.
Tucker: Prezzie! Prezzie!
Edgar: Mum-
Cedrick: *losing his patience* Get out, before I call the Safety Bureau to drag your ass out!
(Edgar and Nadine take Tucker and leave in a huff, grumbling about things, not even apologizing for their and their son’s behaviour)
Elizabeth: Everyone, please take your gifts back, bring them back another day. I know Thurston, and he won’t be in the mood to want to open a single one when he eventually comes out, the party’s been cancelled as well
(The grown ups starts gathering the presents that are on the table, but all look hesitant, Timothy and Merlin go to the main table to help with the cleanup)
Merlin: Rusty won’t drown his sorrows in cleaning, if he doesn’t have anything to clean
Timothy: Shut up
Grandma Pteranodon: How about we reschedule the party? Just not invite Edgar and his family
Elizabeth: I’m not sure if Thurston will even want to… at least not after today
Eliza: He should still be able to enjoy his birthday presents, just on a later date
Timothy: *wiping down the floor* Mum… let his friends reschedule the party for him. We both know he won’t want to reschedule it after what happened today!
Cedrick: Let your brother calm down and sleep on it *looks at his older sons, Grandma Pteranodon and Eliza* sorry for what happened
Grandma Pteranodon: It’s not your fault
(Eliza and Grandma Pteranodon go to pick up the kids)
Grandma Pteranodon: Parker/Colin, time to go
Eliza: Sonny, Luna, time to pack up and go home for the day. Party’s been cancelled.
Mr. Pteranodon: Mom! We can’t go yet! Rust-
Grandma Pteranodon: His parents want everyone to leave right now, they’ll have to reschedule the party for another day
Mr. Pteranodon: Okay
(Mr. Pteranodon presses himself against the door)
Mr. Pteranodon: We’ll break his fucking legs for you Rusty! We’ll avenge you!!!
Thurston: *opens the door just a crack* Please don’t.
Sonny: Still wanna come with us to the Big Pond tomorrow?
Thurston: Yeah…
Sonny: Great, see you tomorrow morning. Hope your day gets better
Brittany: I know everyone else is leaving, but can I stay? We can’t still play together
Arthur: Britt. Let your uncle hide for the rest of the day, he’s had a very rough day today
Brittany: Okay
