Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for May 13, 2013
Transcript:
Phoebe: I'm ind of dreading going back to school. I just know Dakota's gonna be all... GLOATY about getting my part in the play. I hafta be prepared. D'you think it'd be a good comeback to call her "Da-GLOAT-a?" Marigold: ...no. Phoebe: I've had "Da-COOTIES" in the quiver for a while, but the time's never right.

Im betting Dakota wasn’t able to handle the lead roll and will blame Phoebe for getting sick and making her look like a fool.

Having done the whole school play thing as far back as grade school, I feel a LITTLE cheated that we didn’t get to see the actual play, but good drama surprises… I yield to Dana’s instincts.

The best insult she could give Dakota would be a heartwarming compliment. It is best to return hate with kindness. Insults just escalate.

@q4horse – yep.

I’m betting everyone came down with a cold and the play was cancelled.

I sense a plot-twist coming up…something nobody is expecting.

Phoebe is theorizing before she has data, which is a capital mistake.

All this build-up…I’m pretty sure something happened to have caused Dakota’s chances of playing the part to have gotten messed up too.

C’mon. I’m still rooting against it going all too well for Dakota here.

I am not going to make any guesses about what is coming up. One thing I’ve learned is that Dana is good with plot twists. We won’t know what’s going to happen until it happens.

There’ll be some twist. Looking forward to what that might be.

“Dakota Many Colors”?

If Dakota had gotten sick too, I was picturing the kids teasing her, calling her “Barf-kota”.
