He painted his face, shined his ear rings, marshaled the troops, rode up and down the ranks on his steedy lil blue tiger and cried, "FREEDOM"!! Everyone looked around and said, "No one evah told us we weren't free. I guess we just nevah noticed." Everyone got the paints out though and followed suit. I have to say we were all more excited about painting our faces than the battle and got just a little carried away with it all. I chose grey paint with pink sparklies for my face.
Zimmi liked yellow and white with little music notes all ovah. Iola just chunked a bunch of colors on her face and said, "What the heck"!! She looked like a Picasso!!!
We all mounted our steeds and charged after Smee, who had left minutes before. All we could do was follow the dust since none of us can track worth a hoot. Finally we barely saw him in the midst of the dust that he was stirrin' up and charged after him. Before we knew it we were in battle. Wands and swords and axes and arrows were flyin' everywhere! We didn't know what we were killin' but with all the fightin' we had to be killin' sumthin'!! Finally the dust settled and I felt something wet on my stainless steel flame pinstriped talons. I thought we were all wading in blood till I looked down and saw a spilt paper coffee cup swimming in cappuccino.
The dust and wand induced smoke finally cleared and we all looked around and low and behold........ We were in the middle of a Starbucks Coffee shop!!!! Smee realized his mistake rather late but tried to downplay it. He walked ovah to the dazed disheveled girl behind the counter and while nonchalantly looking at the menu said, "Make mine a Caramel Macchiato and cheese danish, please."
Ha ha .. I'll follow Smee anywhere now!
ReplyDeleteSorry - get me jacked up on caffeine and face painting is the least of our worries. Great account of the event, and 110% historically accurate. <3
