It Came From The Basement...

[strangeandunusual]

Who: Lydia Deetz & Boober Fraggle
Where: Outer Space, specifically the basement of the Deetz-Maitland residence.
When: Once upon a time? Before the start of the cartoon, at least.
What: Discoveries made by both parties.

Lydia had just barely managed to clean up her darkroom and get everything back in working order. She had, admittedly, been avoiding the space since the accident that she'd narrowly managed to escape ... but Adam and her father had put so much work and love into it that eventually she decided that was so much stronger than her fear. Not only that, but she had some choice rolls of film to develop from her field trip to Sturbridge Village... and she was itching to show them off to Bertha and Prudence.

So it was that she went down into the basemebt, which she'd neglected for a few weeks. Delia had co-opted one corner of her darkroom to store a massive bundle of boxes of laundry detergent ... There had been a sale at Costco that she hadn't been able to pass up. It wasn't quite in her way, so Lydia left it where it was and started to clear the dust off her equipment...

Lydia thought about that for a moment, then her eyes widened as she realized something. "... Oh no. Boober, I'm not keeping you from it by talking to you, am I? I don't want to get you in trouble or make you behind at it. ... Maybe you can use our washing machine."

He can't help the tiny smile. Sometimes he forgets the ways silly creatures and fraggles are different- Because despite those ways, they're also quite alike.

"I won't get in trouble. And if I get behind, that means I'll just have more work to do when I get back- And that's good."

Lydia sighed with relief. "It seems like every time I make a new friend, I get them in trouble with someone, so ... that's good."

She tilted her head at him, curious. "So why are you in my basement? Obviously I don't mind, I'm just wondering."
