In the land where not-normal things happen lived two girls.  Actually, more than two girls lived in the land where not-normal things happen, but right now those other girls aren't important.  These two girls had known each other almost since the very beginning of their still young lives.  They were Linda and Kay, or so they were called.  Remember that this was the land where not normal things happen so these normal sounding names were not their full true names.  Their full names, Lindaniel Tamatoredansilver and Kayaterenanen Smittyorangeanpurple were quite a mouthful and tedious to say, so everyone just called them Kay and Linda, and their full names were quite normal in the land where not-normal things happen, though still unusual and therefore unique.

 

Now, Linda always wore silver and red, and Kay always wore orange and purple.  One day when the snow was falling very fast and very heavy, Kay and Linda went outside to play "pepper", a passing game.  It was twelve o'clock noon and it had been snowing for some time.  Only minutes after they began, the ball hit off of Linda's arms and went flying through the air.  It landed "thud" on a lump of snow.  Both girls knew that balls do not go "thud" when they land on lumps of snow, but here not-normal things like that are to be expected.

Kay- *runs to get the ball*

Lump of snow- *groan*

Kay- I'm really sorry our ball hit you.

Though you may think this is odd to talk to a lump of snow, but to Linda and Kay it was not...

Kay- Wait a minute!  There is a person under this lump of snow!

(K)

Linda- Why yes, Kay, there is!  It's a damsel in distress!

Kay- Shall we dig her out?

Lump of Snow- Please do!  It's rather cold all the time when you're a lump of snow!

So Kay and Linda begin digging the damsel in distress out of the snow.  Lo and Behold, who should pop up out of the snow-

Linda- *gasp* It's our buddy ol' pal Shannon!

Although Shannon lives in British Columbia, this is the land where not- normal things happen.  Thus we're guessing Shannon of British Columbia was made into a lump of snow in some not-normal way

Shannon- *bows* Shannon of British Columbia, at your service!

Linda- Shannon!  It's sooo nice to see you!

Shannon- *brushes the snow off* I just happened-

Kay- You never happen to be anywhere!

Linda- I know why she's here!  She's on a quest!

Shannon- No, really!

Linda- You're on a quest!  You've come to the land where not-normal things happen, and you want us to join you!

Shannon- I am indeed on a quest, m' dears.  As I have just finished my quest for Intimate Apparel- excellent adventure, by the way- I am now on a quest to- to- uh, well, I'm looking for a quest.  And my previous quest was to get you two and then find a quest.  Well!  I have finished that one *takes a clipboard out and checks something off* Right- now that I have found you... *whistles with her fingers in her mouth and three horses appear, One, half orange and the other half purple.  One Red and Silver, and one black one (when we find out her fave colors...)* 

Everyone leaps on to their horses, Kay with some difficulty, and, not knowing exactly where they're going... Shannon takes the lead

Shannon- *raising her sword* Tally ho Silver!  *horse doesn't move* Giddyup!  *starts to eat grass* GO!  *and they all ride to the sunset*
