Transcript:
Phoebe: Mom, have you seen Marigold?
Mom: No, why?
Phoebe: She didn't meet me after school.
Mom: I"m sorry. Would some cocoa help?
Phoebe: Cocoa's good, but it's no unicorn.
Mom: Ah, but these are sparkly marshmallows.
I’ve heard that to summon a unicorn, a girl in a white dress must enter a forest and sing “Ooh ni ni.”
Either that, or a do a dance known as “The beast bop” while chanting the words “Dumb beast, come beast.” But that could summon anything, especially if it’s hungry.
I’m guessing that either she ran into a delay while picking up an extra-special gift for Phoebe (have you SEEN the lines at unicorn malls this time of year?) or has encountered some difficulty involving goblins … or another type of magical critter. “Let’s go to Werewolf Blitzer, on the scene for Creature News Network.”

Perhaps Marigold has been put on trial by the Unicorn Tribunal for fraternizing with a human.

Well, at least she’s trying, though I’m starting to worry where Marigold ran off to. I hope she isn’t stuck on her reflection again.

Marigold must have pointed Mom to someplace where she could buy sparkly marshmallows at some point.
