Can your friends do this? Can your friends do that?

Lexi pinned her hair back - it was growing out pretty nicely at this point, she thought; about as long as Webby's had been when they'd first met. Normally, she just let it do whatever - laziness beat out vanity - but having her hair get in her eyes while she was practicing magic wouldn't do.

She was excited about this. Magic training with Unca Scrooge - as much as she looked up to him - was such hard work, but showing Gobo her magic? That was bound to be a great time - especially since telling Gobo about her magic, her Dark magic, didn't feel awkward to the teen. He wouldn't hear Dark and hear "bad", she figured. She could just show off what she'd been learning over the past few weeks in the Other Duckburg.

An exchange of letters and postcards - always postcards from Gobo - had lead to a meet-up being set for that afternoon, at the first Fraggle Hole they'd found in Lexi's own Duckburg. They'd both been pretty busy for just over a month, so it would just be good to see her pal again, really, in the first place. She rounded a corner, and soon after, the Fraggle Hole was in sight.

"He should give some of them to Boober, I bet he'd be happy for some new recipes. Because him making them up off the top of his head is... rarely all that good."

He shook his head, pulling a bit of a face at that, that would make the intent perfectly clear.

[talkyourwayout]

"I'll pass that along, I'm sure Huey'll be happy to share. And you're not kidding, sometimes I can still taste that souffle he had me try once," Lexi laughed.

[gobetween]

"The one we had to chase?" He laughed, too. "Alright, but you should totally ask Boober about his 'Doomsday Soup' someday."

[talkyourwayout]

An amused snort. "That- Boober's the only person I know who would call a soup that."

[gobetween]

"Well to be fair, it caused an earthquake. That sorta name wasn't far off."

[talkyourwayout]

"...How did soup cause an earthquake? I mean, even for a soup Boober made, I can't make that connection."

[gobetween]

"Magic?" Soft snort. "It was a weird concoction of a few different things, mostly when Boober dumped it into trash that already had somethin' in it. The first effect was invisibility, then later a whole lot of shaking 'til we managed to get rid of it."

He snickered some. "I'm tellin' ya, you gotta ask Boober. He tells the story best."

[talkyourwayout]

Honestly, after their conversation earlier, that answer did check out. Lexi nodded. "Gotcha, well... I'll definitely ask him next time I stop by."

[gobetween]

"You should come by when you can. I know the others miss you, but I get being busy."

[talkyourwayout]

She scooched around to face Gobo fully, then nodded. "That'd be nice. I miss them, too - hopefully I can stop by soon. Training takes up a lot of time, is all."

[gobetween]

"If it's all training to do stuff like what you did a minute ago, then yeah I could see why it takes a while. Still, it sounds important!"

[talkyourwayout]

"Yeah, it's really important," Lexi confirmed, though she wasn't too keen on discussing the details of all that with Gobo, not just now. "Mostly it's training to do that sort of thing, though, yeah."

[gobetween]

"Well, training can be boring, but it'll do you plenty of good down the line, I know. It's nowhere near the same sorta level, but I deal with plenty of that with my rock hockey team. It's difficult, but the effort is worth it."

[talkyourwayout]

"When did you start sounding mature?" Lexi teased. Really, though, it was sometimes easy to forget that Gobo and his friends were really adults, or... Something to that effect. Fraggles and age were a weird combination. Just from what she'd noticed in how they discussed things and tended to group together, it seemed that the divide was minor between age groups - and more between generations of Fraggles than anything else.

[gobetween]

That's going to get her an elbow in the ribs.

"Hey-ey, I'm not leader of the group for nothing, eh?"

[talkyourwayout]

Lexi laughed. "Oh, please, if that was the reason, Mokey would be the leader. You'd be near the bottom of the list, Gobo."

[gobetween]

"Mokey??" He laughed himself. "Look Lex, I love her but she's not leader material. If she didn't have us to remind her, she wouldn't even remember to collect our food."

[talkyourwayout]

"Okay, then. Red can be leader," Lexi offered - she was definitely just messing around with Gobo and his pride at this point.

[gobetween]

Explosive snort. "Red tried, once or twice. The first time all it got us was trapped underneath a bushel basket that Junior was sitting on."

He paused, then laughed. "Funnily enough that was the same event we sang Dixie Wailin' for."

[talkyourwayout]

Lexi gave an amused snort of her own, stifling full-on laughter. "Aw man, Red, no," she sighed, shaking her head fondly.

[gobetween]

"'Red no' about sums her up on the whole, I'd think. Just don't say that to her face."

[talkyourwayout]

"Gobo, man, you are really underestimating my evil triplet status if you think I won't tell her that."

[gobetween]

He laughed sharply at that. "Yeah yeah, I know. Red can't really do anything to me that she hasn't already done before, anyway."

[talkyourwayout]

Lexi smiled slyly, poking Gobo's side. "Yeah, well, it's good that she's around to keep you in line. Half the time, Mokey would let you get away with murder."
