SHANE AND PUDDIN... THE PARTS WHICH MADE THEM WHAT THEY WERE BECAME SCATTERED... MOMENTARILY LOST IN AN ORBITAL CONFUSION WITH OTHER PARTS... SCATTERED PARTS FROM OTHER CHILDREN... CHILDREN LOST FROM THEIR MOTHERS - BOTH FOUR LEGGED AND TWO...

BUT THEIR SPIRITS HAD REMAINED INTACT... THEY COULD HEAR THE THOUGHTS OF ALL THEIR MOTHERS... THE FOUR LEGGED ONES MOST LIKELY BEING SCATTERED WITHIN THEIR SAME CONFUSED ORBIT...

BUT THE TWO LEGGED ONE? EVEN IF HER OWN ORBIT WAS LIMITED TO A PARABOLA... AND ONE WHICH ARCHED OVER FENCES AT BEST? THEY COULD HEAR HER CALLING THEM TO COME HOME.

SO? THEY DID. AND KATHLEEN AND JUDY (BUT WITH JUDY HAVING TO WAIT A FEW MOMENTS BEFORE SHE COULD ACTUALLY LOOK) SAW THEIR HOMECOMING... AND THEY HEARD THE SONG THEY WERE SINGING AS ONE...
