More To Life
by Blondie Hair
When Dr. Spinoza was freed, Eliza, Debbie, Nigel, and Marianne listened to all he had to say about bats... after all, the Thornberrys visited Dr. Spinoza for Nigels show; to explain that bats weren't horrendous animals, like the way they seem to be. The Thornberrys, well, Nigel and Marianne, continuously thought about where he was, and why the crazy guy with an extremely large eye had pretended that he was the 'real' doctor Spinoza.
"What exactly happened to the slighty...um.. odd little man who thought, and/or pretended he was you?" Nigel inquired to the brilliant bat observer. All that Dr. Spinoza had to answer was that El Gordita, for that was the crazed man's name, was just the village idiot! But was El Gordita's life really as simple and meaningless as Dr. Spinoza explained? Or was there something more to this "village idiot" ? We're about to find out...
Wrestling a baby-blue sweatshirt past his bulky head, El Gordita thought about how many more blue and brown pieces of clothing he needed to make his collection of blueness and browness complete. He grabbed a pair of dark blue pants, and made sure that he had a light brown belt to match his sweatshirt and dark brown shoes. El Gordita ambled on over to his one-seater chair and switched on the television. In all his glory, Nigel Thornberry came on the TV , and started babbling on about zebras. "Hello, I'm Nigel Thornberry, and today, we will be discussing the wonderful zebra!" Since El Gordita's one and only idol had always been Nigel, he began mimicking," Hello, I'm Nigel Thornberry, and today, we will be discussing the wonderful zebra!" El Gordita figured that if anything ever happened to Nigel Thornberry, he would make a 'smashing' replacement.
Looking in the mirror, all he saw was a short little body, very brown and blue clothing, one enormous eye, along with another eye that was barely open, and peculiarly small feet; El Gordita didn't strike himself or anyone else as attractive or handsome. Out of the blue, (or brown), El Gordita remembered about his cousin, El Gordo's, friend Benjamin's wedding, which was today! El Gordita hysterically scampered around the room just like a rabbit, and then quickly chose an outfit. As he looked through his closet, he found the perfect outfit; a black tuxedo. At this rate, he decided to be even more daring; so he unrolled a fine pair of black never-before- worn socks, and started rapidly polishing his black moccasins.
Slamming the keys into the car, to start it, the little blue Mini-Cooper wasn't starting up too well. It took a few tries, but El Gordita finally got the car started. He pressed the acceleration as high as it would go. Since the only policemen that worked in his so called "village" just hung around at the donut shoppe, El Gordita was using enough common sense to go to the wedding by a route that didn't pass a single donut shoppe.
"Just passed wedding," El Gordita angrily growled aloud. He spun his car in donuts until he turned onto the right path to make it back to the wedding ceremony.
The bride and groom had just begun their "I do's" when El Gordita rushed in. People stared at him in disgust; how dare this man arrive late for such a glorious moment in the lives of the new husband and wife?
Finally (well, only a few moments later), the wedding ended. Everyone evacuated, slowly, but surely. The reception would begin in a few hours. El Gordita skipped across the area, and started singing famous tunes by Britney Spears. "Hit me baby... uh.. no more time! I'm not that in a cent!" Unfortunately, he didn't know all of the lyrics, so people stared at him and whispered amongst themselves, as he sang and sang.
El Gordita then remembered that the bride and groom needed a wedding present! So he happily danced out of the building, and started up his car.
Thinking of what to purchase for the bride and groom, El Gordita remembered the best place to find a fabulous gift--his second favorite store! (His first was the ice cream parlor!) The shop was right across the street!
The store was called, One Dollar or Less!, and it had the perfect gift for Erin and Julius, (the bride and groom.)
Once his car was parked, he galloped into the store. "Cousin George say bride and groom want china," El Gordita murmured thoughtfully. So he grabbed a few plastic packages that contained items such as plastic bowls, plates, forks, knives, spoons, napkins, and cups! Then, he picked up a package of paper placemats and threw them in the basket with everything else. Of course, each of these items were blue or brown, El Gordita's favorite colors. He had the cashier ring up everything. "Your total is $8.48, come again soon," grumbled the angry cashier.
El Gordita checked his blue and brown watch, and he only had one hour remaining until the wedding reception, so he rushed out to his car. On the ride back to his house, he figured out everything he wanted to pick up for the reception; his top hat, party shoes, and to complete the set, his blue and brown pimp cane!
As he rushed into his blue mini-cooper, the brown seats made a squeaking sound, and El Gordita looked around the car and saw a hefty lady. El Gordita whimpered as if he were an adorable little puppy. "No more prunes for lunch," El Gordita rebuked. The now-embarassed woman's plump cheeks turned bright red, and she quickly hobbled over to the Prune People Palace Lunch-in. El Gordita started his car and rushed on home.
Once our crazy friend arrived back at his hut-like house, he divested the black tuxedo and replaced it for an outfit that showed his "individuality." He threw on a honey brown shirt with socks to match. Then, he put a navy blue sports jacket and navy blue pants over the shirt and socks. Last came the party shoes, top hat, and blue and brown pimp cane!
VRROOOOMMMM! The car noisily started running, and El Gordita then stood with both feet on the acceleration. He made sure he looked alright, and turned Nigel Thornberry's brand new radio version of wild life. 'JUST A FEW MORE MINUTES, THEN EL GORDITA PARTY AT WEDDING' El Gordita thought. After a few turns, and bumps, El Gordita pulled into a parking space, and giddily skipped in to the reception room.
Music was loudly playing and people were out of their seats dancing. El Gordita chose a vacant seat that he would sit in when the food came. He rapidly threw the gift onto an enormous pile of gifts and hurriedly bounced onto the dance floor. He started dancing and having fun when his eyes spoted something he would NEVER forget.
Her dirty-blonde hair was clipped in a bun in the back of her head, with a few strings of wavy hair resting right next to her delicate face. She was decked with the finest of jewelery, from diamonds to pure gold to silver. Her ruby-red sparkling lips looked as though they were as close to perfection as possibly posible. The greenest, purest, and most dazzling eyes belonged to this incredible young woman. A gentle, but hot pink dress with a matching shawl was what she wore. To match her dress, she had a pink flower in her hair that added a pinch more of grace. In El Gordita's eyes, Angelina was really and truly an angel right from Heaven.
