Ares: "Up! Everyone Up! Let's go we're headed to China. "
Dakota: -yawns and stretches- "Why?"
Ares: "Because I said so. Let's go people."
Jules: "I will not. Tama cannot go and I do not za Chinese food."
Ares: "Your loss. Also - we have a vacation home so your wife does most of the cooking."
Jules: "Oh. Well it still does not matter. I will stay witz my Tama."
Buzz: "In that case maybe I should stay."
Artie: "No Buzz you're like a 106. Come stay with me in China one more time? If you're not having the time of your life then you can always come home early."
Buzz: "Fine. Let's go then. If I'm not the last one to the dimension gate, then you're all a bunch of ninnyhammers."
Rica: "C'mon it's not a race."
Buzz: "No but my bed is the furthest from the gate and I'm the slowest walker. If I win, there is something wrong with these people."
The real reason we went to China?
Adrianna's wedding day!
Rica: "You look so pretty."
Adrianna: "Thank you! This is a nice little pavilion you made for us up here."
Rica: "What can I say I really wanted a view of that waterfall when you kissed as man & wife."
Adrianna: "Oh I thought you wanted a shot of all of China."
Rica: "Well.. we'll see how it goes when I get you all upstairs."
Rica: Turns out she and my sister were right. The view of Shang Simla is spectacular. I built a small pagoda like wedding tower that was three stories high just to get the shots I wanted. It's nothing but walls, spiral staircases and columns.
Ares: "I do!"
Adrianna: "I do too!"
I present you - Mr and Mrs Grim!
Rica: "HA. I got that waterfal shot I wanted."
Artie: "Geez Rica. Way to be in the moment."
Rica: "I was totally in the moment. Now everyone move a little so I can set up the reception area up here too."
-redoes the entire platform with colored chairs that no one properly used-
Adrianna: -sighs happily- "Now for some cake."
Ares: "Why doesn't this thing cut itself?"
Dakota: -thinks of home, realizes she has absolutely no regrets-
Rica: "I worry about you."
Ares: "Why? I needed to finish the Dragon Cave."
Rica: "And you're holding George because?"
Ares: "Why not?"
Rica: "Why not he says. Grown man holding a teddy bear. Why not. Ok let's go - lots of work to get done and I don't want you ignoring your wife."
Ares: "Wow you're a fat one."
Husky Mummy: "Oh I've had it with you!" -pounces-
Rica: I've only done this place once before but it was the 4 year old that could see this was a dragon without having to look down on it. He kept saying - Look it's a dragon. It's a dragon. Finally I said where?! and he pointed it out. Yeah I felt dumb and proud.
Ares: "Why am I cleaning this floor?"
Rica: "Honest answer or make something up?"
Ares: "Let's go for something different. How about the honest answer."
Rica: "A four year old said it was dirty and to make you do it. So you are."
Ares: "From now on. don't be so honest."
Ares: "Ahh another Mummy. I thought I was in china!"
Rica: "You are!"
Jacob (The 4 year old): -lots of giggling- "Haha. He beat that mummy's bottom."
Rica: "That's not very nice."
Ares: "I won. That's what matters. Wait.. what was that noise?"
Ares: "Really another one? Don't you guys talk or something before coming dust or is it just too sound proof in those sarcophagi?"
Ares: "Ha. Now stay dead!"
Rica: "Wow. You're mean."
Ares: "Don't even start, woman!"
Rica: "You done adventuring now?"
Ares: "I do believe so. "
Rica: "Psst."
Adrianna: "Psst back."
Rica: "He's on his way back."
Adrianna: "Oh. I better go spruce up then."
Rica & Adrianna together: "Nah!"
Adrianna: "Do you have a good time, sweetheart?"
Ares: "No. I wish you could have gone with me."
Adrianna: "If I had gone, I could have been attacked by one of those mummies you told me about."
Ares: "This is true and I don't know what I would have done if you had been cursed."
Rica: "Go to Egypt and rescue the woman, of course."
Adrianna: "My Ares is just the sweetest thing."
Rica: "Doesn't know you very well."
Ares: "I've watched these stars with many women before but you are by far the prettiest and the best."
Adrianna: "You think so. Hey is that a shooting star?"
Rica: "Blast. I just missed it. it's pretty though guys, right?"

Rica: "Guys?"
Rica: "Oh bother. Nevermind"
Whee! I don't know why I think this is so funny but it is.
