Unwilling Escorters and Unwilling Escortees....

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 18143

Somehow, Avon contrived to be the first one out of the TARDIS again, but at least this time no one managed to trip over him.

"Damn idiot would be in a hurry to get to his own funeral," Betty hears Brill mutter as the others follow Avon out.

Outside they see that Avon is looking glumly back at somebody and muttering something about an "elfin shadow". Vila blinks and looks first behind him and then over at where Morgana Wordeni is laughing softly, clearly amused by Avon's discomfort. Rugen, her husband, then walks over to Vila, who still looks like he's trying to figure out how Morgana had gotten past him without being noticed.

"Ah, it's magic, right?" he then says, snapping his fingers.

"Nope," Rugen says, startling the thief, "She's just that good. Practice a few hundred years and you might get that good as well.....but right now?"

Rugen then chuckles himself as he walks away, holding several items in his hands.

Betty blinks when Vila makes a surprised sound and slaps at his pockets.

"Your's, I believe," the small elf says, handing Romana's sonic screwdriver back to her, "Our light finger friend took it."

"Shut up," Rugen then, after the elfin Time Lady takes her tool, snaps over at Vila (who tries to charm his way out this snafu), "Had higher hopes than to play babysitter to you and your family, but after actually meeting you and Avon in the flesh, I and my wife have the duty, alas."

"As pretenious as that sounds," he adds under his breath, "Now wonder if the kitsune and Alex are having trouble keeping tabs on the other Avon and Vila...."

"Others?" Betty (overhearing the last) asks blankly, looking over at Brill, "What others?"

Clark Kent (aka Superman) looks like he's curious as well.

"I'll explain as we walk," Brill says as they begin to walk towards the center of town, "Believe me, it's an interesting one. Meanwhile, while we walk through this outdoor mart, we can do a bit of window shopping for that wedding in a few days."

  1. That's when Betty recognizes somebody near a booth.
