Wave: Right! This is the Grav-a-tron, where Star and Gravity are supposed to have gone.
Stone: Yeah, I know.
Wave: Sorry, I'm just summing it up for any readers who may have just joined us.
Stone: We're halfway through a story, why would anyone join us now?
Wave: They might JOIN us, if we were COMING APART.
Stone: That was really lame.
Wave: Gimme a break, I'm new- I still have to work on my laugh quota.
Crystal: Hey guys, are you looking for Star and Gravity too?
Stone: Yeah, but weren't you at the sideshow alley?
Crystal: It was terrible. The fortune-teller didn't even use a REAL crystal ball.
Stone: So... Star and Gravity are inside the ride. Should we join them?
Crystal: Why? Are they coming apart?
Stone: HAHAHA!!! Aw, you always crack me up Crystal!
Wave: ...
Crystal: Look, there's Star Man.
Star: Crystal, guys, how ya doin?
Stone: How are we doing what?
Star (ignoring Stone): Gravity will be here in a minute, he's just arguing with that suspicious looking old man.
Wave: Which suspicious looking old man?
Crystal: Yeah, so many old men look suspicious.
Star: That one over th- huh? He's gone!
Stone: Who? Gravity, or the old man?
Star: ...both of them!
Wave: Lets go look for them- come on! (runs off)
Crystal: Sigh. We better go and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble.
Star: Well, I'm just gonna sit here for a mo.
Stone: Right. Well I'll just- huh? Where'd everybody go?
Sure enough, the others have disappeared into the crowd
Stone: Aw, I hate it when they do that.
Well, its a lousy plot-device. It happens a lot. Get used to it.
Stone: Shut it.
No. Just because I'm the narrator doesn't mean I can't get a few of my own words in now and then.
Stone: Sorry, I'm leaving. (walks into the closest tent)
