Sarge folded his arms over his belly. He was in a huff because he couldn't fit into the pants that he had just bought. It didn't make sense to him why he couldn't find a size of clothes that fit him. Before he could formulate an idea of what was happening, Rus walked through the doorway, distracting Sarge from his attempt at thinking.

"Heya, big guy!" Rus said, stopping in front of Sarge with one hand on his hip and the other holding a camcorder. "You lookin' a bit confused! Trying to do arithmetic again?" Rus smiled and gently patted Sarge's head. "What numbers are confusing ya, hun?"

Sarge looked away indignantly. He was aware that he literally had trouble adding two and two together... but if he was doing math, he wanted to try it on his own.... Sarge stopped as he dropped his hands to his sides. His expression blanked out as a thought came to him. What was he mad about again? Was he trying to do math?

Unsure of how to answer this, Sarge looked back at Rus and gestured to the camcorder in the bear's hands. "Rus, why's you haves a camera out?"

"Oh this?" Rus looked down at the device and shrugged. "They were wantin' us to record the party. You promised to do that before you... y'know... became 'not smart'. Figured I'd take care of it for you since you're not smart enough to work one."

Sarge rolled his eyes. He knew how to work a camcorder. He still knew how to do everything he used to... it's just that things came to him more slowly than before....

Sarge shook his head, still unsure why he was getting so upset right now. Looking behind Rus, he noticed a bundle of beige colored balloons held together by a balloon weight. Though it took him a bit of work, he was able to count six balloons in total. "What about the balloons?" he asked.

Rus perked up and looked behind himself. Turning his attention back to Sarge he smiled. "For the party, Sarge. We'll pop them midway through! You've done this before haven't you? We got the clarification from the doc and everything!"

Sarge took several moments to process this information. His eyes lit up in understanding. "Wait, THAT'S why we's went to the doctor?"

"Well that and a check up to see how things are running along." Rus leaned over and gave Sarge's belly a pat. "Your mom can't make it, by the way. Severe weather back home an' all. I did invite a few of your friends, though. Some seemed a bit... surprised... to find out you were uh..." Rus looked Sarge in the eyes, then took a quick glance down at Sarge's belly, "y'know?"

Sarge continued to process the information. Putting a finger to his cheek he tilted his head. "You invited who?"
