And now, part two of 'Veterans Day', I mean, 'Rhonda and Olga in Wacko World'! Anyway, enjoy!
Olga and I kept walking in a direction until we came across a small little cottage. Curious, we walked to the back as we heard laughing. Olga paused as she said, "If I know my 'Alice in Wonderland'... and we both do... the tea party is at the back."
"How do we know it's a tea party?" I asked. "Actually, will these versions of the Mad Hatter and March Hare even drink tea?"
"I don't know, but I'm curious!" Olga sighed as we looked over and...
Yep, it was pretty much confirmed. Arnold was the Mad Football Head and the March Hair was Gerald.
"Oh, I get it!" I snapped my fingers. "Gerald's the March Hair because of his tall 'hair'!"
"Excuse me, sirs?" Olga asked as Arnold and Gerald... er, the Mad Football Head and the March Hair turned to us.
"Sorry, girls, no room here! Get lost!" The March Hair said rudely.
"March! Sorry about this girls, March Hair here isn't usually welcome to guests." The Mad Football Head said. "You want to sit down?"
"Uh, sure." I said as I came over and sat down next to the Mad Football Head. "You know, I don't normally say this, but you look very cute in that outfit..."
The Mad Football Head blushed a bit. "You know, it's really rare I get compliments like that. Most people assume me to be crazy..."
"Are you?" Olga asked.
"I'm not sure..." The Mad Football Head shrugged as he started juggling some tea cups while pouring juice with his left foot. "You tell me."
Olga just decided not to question how Arn- the Mad Football Head was doing that as she asked. "So... tea party?"
"Actually, just cookies and juice. We can't drink tea. Never liked the stuff." March Hair frowned.
"Suitable substitute anyway..." The Mad Football Head shrugged.
"Anyway, I was wondering if you could-" Olga started before the March Hair did a little screeching sound.
"Sorry. These seats are about to come alive any minute. We have to constantly change seats every ten minutes. March Hair does this to give us the ten second warning, we better go down to some new seats." the Mad Football Head stated as he and Gerald started to get up.
Olga and I looked at each other with confused stares before shrugging as we followed and sat down in new seats, next to the Mad Football Head and March Hair.
"I have to say, so far, you're not as mad as they say." I said to the Mad Football Head.
"And you have a very adorable look on your face." the Mad Football Head smiled as I blushed. "I'm sure some lucky man would be lucky to have you..."
"Well... maybe..." I blushed.
"ANYWAY..." Olga coughed. "As I was saying, we were wondering if you've seen a girl with blue glasses with wyvern wings?"
March Hair chuckled. "Now that's an image I'd like to see... a little girl in wyvern wings!"
"The Phoeb-vern, to be more specific." I said.
"Oh, why didn't you just say?" The Mad Football Head smiled. "Yeah, we know her."
"As a matter of fact, I think she may be on her way to the King's golf game." The March Hair explained.
"Oh!" Olga smiled. "That would explain why she was commentating and worrying on being late! She was afraid she'd miss the golf game!"
"That would explain it." I nodded. "Say, boys, I think the Phoeb-vern has our way home, would you mind pointing me in the direction of the King's golf game?"
"We'll do better than that." The Mad Football Head smiled. "We've actually been invited to watch the golf game, so we can lead you over there!"
"Awesome!" I smiled as me and Olga got up. "Lead the way, boys!"
The Mad Football Head and March Hair nodded as they started to lead the way, me and Olga started following the boys.
We've been following the Mad Football Head and the March Hair for what seems to be like an hour before we stopped in the middle of a forest with the Mad Football Head and the March Hair pondering in thought. I asked, "What's wrong?"
"Funny... we seem to be lost..." The Mad Football Head paused.
"WHAT?" Olga said, in a panic. "I thought you knew where we were!"
"Apparently not." The March Hair sighed.
Olga sighed. "How am I so trusting, why am I trusting..."
(To the tune of 'Very Good Advice' from 'Alice in Wonderland')
(Olga)
Why am I a very trusting girl?
Maybe it's too much for my own good...
I don't know why I try to fool myself...
"WILL YOU SHUT UP YOUR SINGING!" We heard the familiar voice of the Bucky Katt up in the tree. "Marcie, you try to take a nap somewhere, and the tunes kick in! What is this, a Broadway production?"
"Oh, sorry, Cheshire Cat." The Mad Football Head said as we looked up.
"I'M NOT A CHESHIRE CAT!" Bucky yelled in protest. Bucky groaned as he tried to get off the tree. "Sheesh, I'm not getting paid enough for this."
"Excuse me!" The March Hair called. "Which way to the King's Golf Course?"
"Okay, seriously?" Bucky groaned as he pulled on a tree branch. "It's through there! How do you miss something so obvious like pushing a tree branch down? Now get out of my sight!"
Olga sighed in relief as I said, "Almost lost it again?"
"A little bit, but I'm back now..." Olga took a deep breath as she hugged me tight. "Just keep me close, okay?"
"Don't worry, Olga, you're not alone." I said as we continued following the Mad Football Head and the March Hair.
"Come on, we're getting nearby now." The Mad Football Head said as they entered the field.
Inside the King's Field, me and Olga looked around as we saw a perfect golf course and a bunch of beepers marching around.
"Beepers... let me guess..." Olga groaned. "My father is the King..."
"OFF WITH THEIR TOES! OFF WITH THEIR TOES!" We heard a big man cry out.
"Of course my dad is the king." Olga muttered under her breath.
Nearby, Big Bob Pataki, wearing a red crown and a royal cloak came down as he came up to us. "OFF WITH YOUR TOES!"
"But I haven't done anything!" I said.
"You will." The Mad Football Head said.
King Bob looked around as he marched around the garden, saying, "OFF WITH THEIR TOES!"
The Phoeb-vern then came down and said, "Gosh, I think you better do as he says. He's the king, after all."
The Phoebe-vern then looked at her wrist watch and smiled. "I am so glad I made it on time! But seriously, I need to get a new battery for this watch."
To Olga and my confusion, the Mad Football Head and the March Hair ran over and started collecting lettuce leaves to put in the bags.
Olga smiled. "Oh, I see. He meant 'Off with these toes of lettuce'! Actually, does lettuce have toes?"
"It doesn't make sense, let's just go with it." I shrugged.
For a while, we watched as King Bob started doing his golf game as he was getting holes in one. I turned to Olga as I asked, "So far, this has become a pretty strange place..."
"Indeed." Olga whispered. "But whose dream is this?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out..." I paused as I saw a crowd of the people we met gathering around as King Bob was laughing triumphantly. "Tell me, Olga, does your father often laugh like that in victory in real life?"
"Who knows? I don't even know whose dream this is..." Olga sighed.
"Hey, excuse me, girls?" Bucky said as he was passing by, crossword puzzle in hand. "What's a seven-letter word for 'giant monkey'?"
"Oh, that would be gorilla." Olga smiled.
Olga yelped as she covered her mouth.
"Is that with two or three ls?" Bucky asked.
"There are two 'l's in gorilla." I said... before realizing what I had done and covered my mouth... but it was too late, both me and Olga already grew to big size.
"Ah, got it." Bucky nodded as he wrote it down. "Appreciate it! Thanks!"
Bucky then walked right out the scene as my foot just pushed Big Bob and made him fall over.
"Oh no..." Olga had a look of shock and fear as she shut her eyes. I had the same look as I decided to quickly think small. By the time we grew small, Big Bob recovered, but was pretty angry. "WHO MESSED UP MY SHOT! WHO MESSED UP MY SHOT!"
Everybody pointed at me and Olga as Big Bob glared. "OFF WITH THEIR LEGS! OFF WITH THEIR ARMS! OFF WITH THEIR EYES! OFF WITH THEIR HANDS!"
The Phoeb-vern then flew down and whispered, "You two better run, King Bob HATES losing and he hates missing a shot. He means business."
Me and Olga didn't need a second opinion as we got up and started to run off.
"AFTER THEM! DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!" We heard King Bob shout, but we didn't bother to look back as we kept running and running until we came across a lake. We quickly dived right in as the current took us in. We waited in the current until we could hear King Bob and the stampeding people after us no more. We sighed as we relaxed. Olga smiled. "We're safe..."
"Yes... we are..." I sighed as I closed my eyes...
"Rhonda?" Olga asked.
"Yes, Olga?" I asked, sighing.
"Come on, silly, get off my lap. We should get back with the others."
HUH?
I opened my eyes a little as I saw I was indeed sleeping on Olga's lap. She had the book closed and I was looking around. I sighed. "So it was my dream..."
"Hm?" Olga blinked.
"Sorry, Olga. I was dozing off and I dreamt of something like 'Alice in Wonderland', and you were with me in that dream." I explained.
"Was it an interesting dream you had?" Olga asked as I recovered.
"Well, it was... VERY... interesting to say the least." I said as I turned to the others, still playing around. "Olga?"
"Yes, Rhonda?" Olga asked, curiously.
"Even if it is in my dream, you're the best partner I could ever ask for." I said as I hugged her.
Olga smiled as she hugged me back in her 'Olga-hug'. "Happy Veterans Day, Rhonda!"
"You have a good one, too!" I smiled.
And so, me and Olga went back to join the others as we decided to play around with our NO PEOPLE club mates.
"All in all, a pretty interesting day..." Phoebe sighed as her, me and Nadine started to head for home.
"Yeah..." I said. "Shame we have school tomorrow..."
"I wouldn't be too disappointed." Phoebe smiled. "Guess what's coming this week!"
Nadine and I raised our eyebrows in curiosity as Nadine asked, "What's that?"
"It's the team quiz competition!" Phoebe squealed in excitement.
"Oh... yeah..." Nadine and I paused nervously.
"You better tell her." I whispered to Nadine, who nodded.
Nadine coughed. "Phoebe, we love to do the team competition, but... here lies the problem... it's TWO per team. We only have THREE people."
"I knew you were going to say that!" Phoebe smiled. "That's why I'm going to have Lila as my partner!"
"Really?" I said in surprise... then smiled. "That might work out."
"Yeah... me and Rhonda will be one team, you and Lila are another, that way, if one of us loses, we give out our support to the other team!" Nadine smiled.
Phoebe squealed in delight. "This is great! I can hardly wait for Wednesday to come! I'm going to get started on practicing right away!"
As Phoebe ran off, Nadine and I looked at each other in worry as I said, "Think we should try studying?"
"Why bother?" Nadine whispered. "Phoebe's the smartest one of our group, she can win this competition blindfolded!"
"Good point." I nodded. "But we should at least try our best anyway."
Nadine nodded. "Yeah..."
"Still..." I said. "It would be pretty interesting to see how our team dynamics can work with Lila... another good test for her!"
"For sure." Nadine smiled as we started to head off for my house. Tomorrow was going to be busy for sure...
