The Metal Hut

Fred could not believe his eyes! It was impossible that the people that he was seeing could have fit in that metal hut! Was it an illusion, or was there different magic afoot?

Now there emerged two strange demons with strange white skin that was melted over their bodies like candles, but they moved like normal men. They were carrying a mysterious red chest between them. Then there was a plump, buxom woman wearing a flowing white dress and sandals. She carried in her arms a strange black box, that looked like some sort of musical instrument, but he could see no strings, nor could he see a tube to blow in. It was perhaps a drum. The woman wore her hair in a strange style - it was braided and coiled around her ears into two circles.

Fred could understand bits of their language, as through a glass darkly. Some of the words did not make sense to him.

One of the men with the melted skin said, "Patty, did you bring some Nine Inch Nails Cee Dees?"

The woman replied, "Left 'em at home. I brought a buncha country, just for you, Leo."

"You aren't serious?"

"No, of course not. I have some good stuff for the boom box. Where are we supposed to meet Stan and Marcie?"

The other man replied, "They came early and got a good spot by the Star Wars exhibit. You will fit in well with that Princess Leia outfit. We should have put these damned stormtrooper outfits on later. They are too hot!"

"Grow a pear, Frank," Fred thought he heard this fat lady say. "I hope Stan has got some prime rib going on the barbie. I am hungry!"

"And I am thirsty!" said Leo, "I can't wait to open a tall cold one from this chest."

Fred decides

1. to approach this group and see where they are going.
2. to attack the strange men in the white and open the chest to see what 'a tall cold one' is.
3. to look into metal hut to find its secret.
4. that Patty is cute. He is going to pry her away from these two losers.
5. to follow the people from a distance, and see where they are going.
