When the Better Angels took a break, Mumu ran out of the lounge for a moment. When she returned, Bebe was sitting in the seat with a teddy bear.
"Hey," she said. "That's my seat."
"Bebe didn't see your name on it."
"But I was sitting there."
"Did you see her sitting here?" Bebe asked the bear. (1/4)

Bebe listened carefully to the inaudible reply. "Bellotrix didn't see you sitting here either."
Mumu began to lose her temper, but Zaza pulled her aside and whispered something in her ear.
"How about I you something for it?" Mumu asked Bebe.
"Bebe might like a lollipop." (2/4)

Mumu ran out for a moment and returned with a big lollipop. "Here. Get up and I'll give it to you."
"Bellotrix wants one too," Bebe said.
Grinding her teeth she went back out and returned with another. "Here!"
Bebe stood up. Mumu handed her the lollipops, and took her seat back. (3/4)

"C'mon, Bellotrix!" said Bebe. She left the lounge triumphantly carrying the teddy bear with the two lollipops.
After a moment, they all heard a wail of despair. "Aaah! Bebe's mouth is on fire!"
Zaza looked at Mumu, who smiled. "Well, she didn't say what flavor of lollipop." (4/4)
