Mary... you awake? (nudges her in the ribs) Mary. Come on... (plugs Mary's nose) Mary, wake up! @MaryIngalls_
@Laura_E_Ingalls (wakes up sputtering) Laura! You woke me up from a good dream. I was just about to win the Hero Township spelling bee.
@MaryIngalls_ Ugh... even in your dreams you're good! Dreamin about school is NOT a good dream. You should be glad I woke ya up!
@Laura_E_Ingalls (rolls over, pulling the blankets with her) Good night, Laura.
@MaryIngalls_ Hey... don't go back to sleep. I need ya to help me with somethin.
@Laura_E_Ingalls (annoyed) What is it? Why couldn't you have asked for help before bedtime? Tomorrow's a school day and I need my sleep.
@MaryIngalls_ Cause I didn't have to GO before bed. That's why!
@Laura_E_Ingalls You woke ME up because YOU had to use the outhouse? Aren't you old enough to help yourself with that? You're not Carrie!
@MaryIngalls_ It's not like that. I heard a wolf howlin outside. Ain't no way I'm goin to the outhouse in the dark. But I really gotta GO!
@Laura_E_Ingalls (tired and irritated) Then use the chamber pot already! (rolls over again to sleep)
@MaryIngalls_ I would if I could, it ain't where it's supposed to be! (urgently) You cleaned it this mornin, where did ya put it?
@Laura_E_Ingalls (sits up in bed) Oh no! Did I forget to bring it back in? (hops onto the floor and runs to the window)
@MaryIngalls_ (confused) Mary...
@Laura_E_Ingalls (interrupting Laura with a fit of giggles) Sure enough! There it is!
@MaryIngalls_ (runs to the window to see what's so funny)
@Laura_E_Ingalls Do you see it? The chamber pot is sitting on the fence post. (laughing) The white porcelain is glowing in the moonlight!
@MaryIngalls_ (Scene fades to black as both girls erupt in a fit of laughter.)
