So the summer of 1996. My master, Garrett is finally back in Camelot, where he truly belongs. It's taken me years to get his stubborn self back in Camelot, oh boy. And he finally had to give in to my requests. Yes, it was a girl that truly got him to return to Camelot, but better late than never.
Oh, and Kayley and Garrett became knights. So now I can say that (after years of talking about how he'll never be a knight...or anything for that matter), he's finally doing something with his life. Sure he's like 22-years-old, but it's better than never. I wanted to congratulate them on their achievement. I knew they could do it! Of course, I HAD to swoop in right while they were kissing! (Awkward). But not nearly as awkward as what I did see! Garrett's eyes were green! GREEN! I flew back in shock because I know now, not only is he officially safe in civilization, but he has no need for me.
I flew away. A simple "so long, pal" in the flap of my wing. I found my previous master, Merlin the Wizard. I landed on his finger. He petted me and I chirped in happiness. I did do a great job! In fact, I deserved a vacation! Yes, the last six years of my life somehow paid off. Let me tell you, it was not easy!
So I prepared for my vacation. Where shall I go? Cuba? Mexico? Florida? California? Nashville? Dublin? I hear that Canada is really nice this time of year. But where in Canada? Closest to the coast I can imagine. Maybe Prince Edward Island? It looked pretty nice in the picture. Alright! I found the place where I can go, now I need to get ready for my vacation. It would be a bumpy flight, I assume. Luckily, I travel light. (It's one of the benefits to being a bird).
On the next flight to Charlottetown I was (I must save my energy for the vacation). Everything was ready and I was excited. I arranged to stay with my friend, who lives in a tree looking over the beach. It would be the perfect place to spend a summer vacation. They're flexible and friendly and love living like tourists!
My friends, Peter and Aria, picked me up from the airport and we flew to their house. They told me that I can stay for as long as I'd like, they even fixed up the guest nest for me. I couldn't wait to begin my vacation, but it was a long plane ride and I just need a rest. I've waited my entire life to have this type of vacation. It all seemed a little surreal to me.
