"Hmm," Sister Wythe muttered absentmindedly, "Now where did I put that
herb? She walked to the infirmary closet. To her surprise and horror, a man-
a human man-stood right where all her plants and herbs were supposed to be.
"Um, hi?" the man said.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
In a flash, the nurse was tearing down the corridor, screaming. When the screaming had finally subsided, Mattimeo entered the infirmary. All was silent until the young troublemaker interrupted it.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"What'cha got there?"
Are you Thyme and Pikim?
"Er, yeah?"
"Then you won our Tech Plus pack!
"Cool! Uh, what's that?"
"A bunch of really complicated stuff that's supposed to make life easier."
"Okay…, what's in it?"
"Do you ever stop?"
"Wanna find out?"
"Uh, no thanks. Anyway, you get a Mondo Screen TV with 300 channels, 4 Windows XP computers, 2 phones, 3 phone lines, a cell phone for the traveling er… whadaya call yourselves again?"
"Um, there's mice, hedgehogs, bankvoles, some badgers, squirrels, otters…"
"Okay, okay, I think I got it! Anyway, a cell phone for the traveling creature, and a super-deluxe portable GPS system for those long, confusing woods." By now, the strange man was completely out of breath. With a wave of his hand, boxes suddenly appeared in the infirmary. Another wave made the boxes unpack themselves and set the contents up. (A/N: How many of us could use that magic? I know I could!)
"Well, that's it," the man said. Just then, Constance the badger came in.
"Matti, who are you talking to? I heard someone in he- AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" In a flash, the great badger could be heard tearing down the corridor, screaming, then, "Oh, hello, Sister Wythe. Did I intrude on your hiding spot?"
Both Mattimeo and the man shrugged and continued their conversation, until the mouse noticed the man start to fade away.
"Goodbye, Thyme and Piknim!" he called.
Matti suddenly found his voice.
"Wait!" he called, "What do I do? How do I turn it on? What the heck's a GPS system?" but he was only talking to air.
Sister Wythe and Constance both decided to dismiss the incident as a hallucination. But then, they saw the strange stuff next to Mattimeo on their way to get an aspirin. Before long, they ran back down the corridor, you guessed it, screaming. Word spread about the "magic" stuff, and soon, they ordered more and more, and soon, every Redwaller had at least one TV, computer, cell phone, and (my personal favorite) a portable GPS system. Many happy seasons passed, until the mysterious salesman appeared in the infirmary along with more screaming from Constance and Sister Wythe.
"Uh, little creatures," he said in a way that made the Redwallers gulp, "there's been a mistake. Thyme and Piknim didn't win the Tech Plus pack. I gotta take this stuff back. But, you get a great deal on your next purchase of a kiddie meal at Burger Prince! See ya!"
And Redwall Abbey was never the same again. The end! Well, what did you think? I've been working on this fic for months. I hope you like it!
