In the viewing theatre, the friends watched the progress of
the Alien Pilot by remote. "There he goes," said Lapinette. "How did you manage to track him?" "I left a drone in space," said the
Wabbit. "I suppose you kept it in your fur," smiled Lapinette. "Of course not," said the Wabbit, "it would be too prickly." They could just make out the Alien
Pilot in his pod and Skratch thrashed his tail. "I got to quite like him," he
said. "I hope he doesn’t crash." "I’m sure the Pilot will find his way to the
Planet OGLE," said the Wabbit. "But what about the space currency?" asked Lapinette. "Will
he be able to use it?" Pio Pulcinella the
Puppet shook his head. "I’m uncertain. It was a prototype space currency. No-one really
knows." They all looked at each other. "He might be really rich then," purred Skratch. "It’s all about confidence," said Pio. "So we’ll let the intergalactic banks worry." "Wabbit, what did you do with the 79 trillion euro you borrowed from the Department?" asked
Lapinette. "I put it on overnight deposit," said the Wabbit. "Wabbit!" yelled Lapinette. "Oh, it’s back in the vaults," said the Wabbit, "Exactly as it was?" "More or less," said the Wabbit. "Own up!" shouted Lapinette. "I slipped some monopoly money in with it." Lapinette was too far away to kick the Wabbit’s
shins. "Why would you do that?" she sighed. "To see what happens!" grinned
the Wabbit.
