The Never Ending Quest - Episode 13122

Before the ladies can ask what the meaning of this intrusion, Scott throughs them a curveball (something he seems to enjoy for some reason).

"Gorgon, I need to get two things from you to get Humfrey, your bouncing baby/husband back to.....something like normal." Scott says in a no nonsense voice. "Right now, all he's good for is making a mess in his diapers, but with a little Youth elixer and some leftover reverse word that Irene hasn't gotten to yet.....you'll get Age elixier--something a loud mouthed golem suggested in the future/past. As soon as Humfrey is potty trained and all, we can get a few answers!"

The Gorgon smiles (well, Scott thinks she smiles) and runs off to get the ingrediants for Age Elixer. This leaves Scott and his band staring at Irene. Irene stares back, wondering what in the world is going on here.

"Pardon me, whoever you are, but who ARE you people?" Irene says in exasperation. "I've never heard of winged centaurs and this elf here. There are no Elms around here! How can she still be standing?"

Scott and Jenny share a grin, and settle down and introduce themselves. They are interrupted when yet ANOTHER female winged centauress comes in, and stops dead in her tracks. The younger Chex and the rest of the group are almost blaise as Scott greets her.

"Ah, yet another story line character." Scott says with a smile. "Come on in, Mrs. Chex! I assume you came here to get help finding you lost young foal, Che, right?"

The elder Chex nods numbly, staring at an older version of her foal and the younger version of herself. She was on the verge of a all out hysteria attack. Scott clears his throat to get her attention.

"Ma'am, I truelly comiserate with the shock you must feel, but the Gorgon is right at this momment trying to get her husband debabified....."

"WHAT?!!" the elder Chex shouts. "That happened years ago! He's now back to his old grouchy self!!"

Irene looks between Scott and the elder Chex: "Perhaps I should explain.....as I understand it."

Scott sits back and pulls out a cigerette as Irene explains what is happening. The elder Chex keeps looking at her younger self, and hugs Che. Che pats her....mother on the back and tells her everything will be alright.

"I hope." Scott mutters quietly to herself as he lights up. The entire crowd stops and stares at Scott. Scott shrugs and stares back.

A baby's cry that deepens into a man's shout interrupts the taboo. Scott shrugs and hurries after the crowd. Seems that Humfrey is back to being able to eat solid food!

  1. Heeeeeeere's Humfrey!
