Chapter 81 - Great Apple Seed The visions are becoming more and more sinister. Sometimes, the alien is scribbling furiously, muttering into her communication device and cackling every now and then.
Zykara senses me once in a red moon and shouts angrily in my direction. Her blinding-bright-cold blue aura bears down on my orange light and smothers it in a cloud of alien light, but the orange slips away and does a backflip over the blue.
No connection was made after she threatened to troll on
The Forum and give away all of our secrets. Instead, I chatted it up with the Watcher, who promised to deal with this particular threat. The rain in Spain is raining on the Spain plain sane!
I hate school! The pruney-tuney teachers make us sit
all day without doing anything! Who cares about long-division when I need to save the world? Unless I get the long-dividers on my side, so they can wrap themselves around alien spaceships and crush them . . . yeehaaa! Mama helps me with my work-at-home, so I'm doing okayish.
Mostly, I don my magical robe and practice the speech-of-glory I will make to my troops. "
Sunset Valley, we are not safe! We must protect ourselves and our fresh-baked lasagna from the aliens! The first key to halting the invasion is courage. The second is athleticism. Third, is absolute and total insanity. Now, rise with the gnomes and we shall prevail!"
Sometimes I have to stop and be quiet, because Mama and Daddy are adorable. Like tiny teenage seagulls.
Daddy is an orchestrator in the symphony-ich, and he takes me to concerts. I love going, with all the music forming colors forming pretty webs that flow around us all in the big, big space and echoing off the walls and floors and releasing into the sky--pretty. Like the colors that swirl and laugh above Mama and Daddy's house-place.
Water balloons are so much fun! Pharaoh Tut, one of the gnomes, gave them to me as a thanks for breaking into his tomb and discovering the Great Apple Seed.
Mama and Daddy love it when I tell them all about my adventures. They talk about how proud of me they are, and give me an extra-special colorful hug. They're even talking about getting me a horse when I'm older!
When Daddy's at work, Mama takes me out on special girl-girl dinners at the bistro. We talk about cute boys, rockstars, and interdimensional travel. She told me all about my Grandma Bianca, too, who was an alien. I guess not all aliens are bad. Maybe I'll go to Lunar Lakes, too, and help protect good aliens from bad aliens!
She took me on a trip to the military base one time, and it was so much fun! I snuck away from the tour and tried to enlist, but they told me I had to wait. I am your Queen, citizens!
I have a pretty cousin named Jerry, but he doesn't talk at all. Neither does his equally pretty brother, Elton. Their sister's son Willis talks a lot, but he's mean.
Grandpa Nickerdoodle loves Willis and doesn't care that he's mean, and teaches him to drive, but he loves all his kids, even the really-super-old ones, like Bradley, Vickie, and Marisela French. His girlfriend Bebe just had twins, Shelly and Damien.
Bradley French and Christopher Steel are dating! Chris has itty-bitty wings, which makes me want wings really super bad! Maybe Granny Serena will give me some?
Mama and Daddy think I'm too little-bittle-kittle to have a boyfriend, but they kiss all the time in various stages of dress! And they just celebrated their anniversary, which meant I didn't get to see them
all day long.
