A/N Hey everyone. Sorry about the long wait. But we've finally got it up!
Ugh. I hate being in year 10. We've had three assessments for our SC already! And it's only term 1!
My friend Bridget revealed a hidden talent today. She can take any movie she's seen and relate it back to Lord of the Rings. For example, 10 Things I Hate About You has Heath Ledger, he's in Ned Kelly with Orlando Bloom, Orlando plays Legolas. The hardest one was 8 Mile, but she did it (going through 8 movies). See if you can find one she can't do (tell me the movie and I'll tell her). She wants a challenge.
Disclaimer: This will be the last disclaimer. It's difficult to think up new ones all the time, and it's pretty obvious we don't own the characters (Rowena not withstanding) and most of the jokes are from elsewhere. But hey, they're good in their new context, especially if you know where they came from.
On with the story. And you get to meet George today!
@##$##@##$##@##$##@##$##@##$##@
Thom, Alanna, Jonathon and Rowena walked down. Then up. Then from side to side. They continued in that general direction and eventually skipped into the Dancing Dove for lunch.
George was standing on a table at the far end of the large common room, addressing the assembled rouges. (A/N Yes, we do know they only usually come there at night. Just pretend, okay?) The men were cheering and clapping loudly.
"As a young boy," cried George, "I dreamed of being a base ball. But now I say, we must move forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards success!" Everyone cheered as George started spinning around the table. He noticed Jon and Alanna about then, and jumped over the men's heads to land with an elephants grace before Alanna, Thom, Jon and Rowena.
"Hullo Alan, Jon. How've you been?" George greeted them.
"Hey George. Have you met Alan's sister? Lady Thomasina of Trebond? And this is her sort of guardian type person from the convent, Rowena. We don't know why she's here. She just turned up one day." Explained Jon.
Rowena coughed and looked embarrassed. "Well, #^**$% your highness, when a mummy and a !&$$* daddy love each other very much..."
"He MEANT why you came to the palace!" interrupted Alanna, before Rowena could go any further.
"Oh." Rowena shrugged.
"Just outa curiosity, why are you here?" asked George curiously "I mean you're a few minutes late for lunch and a few good hours early for dinner."
"Well, we were just wondering..." said Thom, scuffing his foot on the ground nervously.
"Seeing as you know the city so well..." added Alanna.
"Do you know any good clothing places where we can buy clothes and stuff?" Jon asked outright.
"Oh sure! There's some really great places around here, and really lax security too. My personal favourites are Supre and Smarty Pants. Just Jeans is pretty good too, and sometimes you can lucky in Target."
"Okay, lets do lunch, then go shopping!" cried Alanna, full of joy.
"But I told you, you're a few minutes late for lunch. All I can offer you is the regular menu, rather than the lunch one." Said George sadly. And he picked up 4 menus from the counter.
"But these are the lunch menus!" said Jon, his voice full of wonder.
"Oh! That's okay then!" and they sat down to eat. After a while, Alanna and Jon began to make out, but no-one seemed to notice.
The only upset was when a serving girl tripped over Thom's Secret Fairy Diary With Matching Padlock, spilling Coke all over the floor. George went over to the mess. He crouched down to the puddle and dipped the end of a finger into the brown liquid. He touched the end of his finger to his tongue, and gasped.
"What is it George?" asked Alanna quietly, breaking away from Jon's hold and kneeling beside George. From the look on his face, it could well have been poison.
"It's.... Pepsi."
Everyone made the Sign against evil on their chests.
**^^^^**^^^^**^^^^**^^^^**
After the Pepsi/Coke incident everyone lost their appetites so they decided to go shopping. They decided to visit Supre first as that would be the least crowded. (A/N Joke)
"Good afternoon Georgelina," said the woman at the desk, addressing George. "The usual I presume?"
"Shhhurup" hissed George putting his finger to his lips and gesturing behind him.
"Oh, right. Company. Never you worry. Your secret is safe with me Georgelina," said the woman brightly and rather loudly. "No-one shall ever find out from me that you buy woman's clothing!" Surprisingly, no one else heard her.
"It's for strictly professional reasons, I hope you realize." Said George in a low voice.
"Oh yes yes. Now what can I do for you?" asked the woman.
**%**%**%**%**%**
3 hours latter, the 5 of them were heading back up to the palace, their arms loaded with plastic shopping bags. Actually, they decided they wanted to be environmentally friendly so they exchanged their plastic for calico. Alanna's and Jon's bags had happy smiling worlds on them (like on the ENYO add?). George's bag the recycling symbol, Tom's bag had broken bottles and a bin, Rowena's bag had a very graphic picture of a dolphin being strangled by a six pack wrapper, a fish with a half eaten plastic bag sticking out of it's mouth, and a seal wrapped in a length of nylon cord. Needless to say, passers by were giving her rather strange looks.
"Well, I guess it's time for me to go." Said George sadly. "I've got a large robbery to oversee at that house near the watermelon stall at the market place." He glanced at Rowena. "I've said to much." He pulled out a silver memory messer upper thingie, and pulled on a pair of electric pink sunnies. Alanna and Jon also put on sunnies, as George flashed it in Rowena's direction. "You do not know anything about a robbery taking place tonight at 11:45 sharp."
"Where do you get those things anyway?" asked Alanna.
"Oh, places..." replied George.
~~$~~$~~$~~$
When Thom arrived back to his rooms, he found a note on his door.
Dear Thomasina,
Your eyes are as purple as the sludge on the pond,
Your hair is as red as tomato sauce,
Your skin is as white as month old parchment,
Your lips glow like fog on a rainy day,
Your freckles are like sequins,
And I don't really notice that zit on your nose,
You're more beautiful than the sight of a half dead dog to a man on the brink of starvation,
And that's more beautiful than me and Jon combined.
Love, Gaza.
"Oh, he writes such sweet words!" exclaimed Thom. "It's such a pity he did not leave his real name. I wonder who my "Gaza" could be?"
And with that he flopped down on to the bed to dream of the coming day.
