That evening, sunset.

Jacqueline: Fangs! Come on!

Fangs: Where are we going?

Jacqueline: We have to hurry. She'll see us.

Fangs: Who'll see us? Your mother? Absolutely she'll see us. In fact, she's right there. Just finishing up the food for tomorrow.

Jacqueline: Oh, Emily's going to be so happy!

Fangs: Oh, Emily.

Jacqueline: Here. The needles, and thread, the cloth. Yes! Sit, Fangs.

Fangs: What are you doing? You're not messing up the sail, are you? I mean, it might be funny, just not right now, I think they're trying to leave tomorrow after lunch.

Jacqueline: (Sewing the sail) I wonder where Emily is. She said she was going to finish the sail tonight.

Fangs: You're finishing it!

Prongs: (Coming out of the cave) Daddy!

Fangs: Hello, dear.

Toothy: How was work today?

Fangs: Well, I passed a new bill prohibiting acts of dishonesty. And I helped a bit with this ship here.

Sharp: How did you help?

Fangs: Well, mostly I just kept Turk out of the way.

Cuddly: Turk is awesome! I wish he didn't have to go.

Prongs: Turk is (whispering) a little bit crazy.

Emily: (Entering) Jacqui, what are you doing?

Jacqueline: Just smiles and holds out the finished sail.

Emily: You finished it!

Jacqueline: I thought you might like some help.

Emily: Thank-you, Jacqui. I'll never forget this.

Jacqueline: You'll leave tomorrow morning then?

Emily: Yes, thanks to you.

Jacqueline: I'm sorry about telling on you and Fritz.

Emily: It's alright. It needed to happen.

Jacqueline: (Hugs her.)

Emily: Let's go. (They walk back to the treehouse)
