I'm having some serious earth-withdrawel. Yes, these alien chicks are pretty smokin', but I miss my earth-wife very much. I also miss my daughter very much. To fill my family void, I wrote the following story for my daughter:

Gobbly Dobbly

Once upon time, there was a princess named Sweety Pie. It wasn't really well known that Sweety Pie was, not only a princess, but also a good-witch

Sweety Pie lived, with her flying bulldog Sparkle, in a magical forest called Gobbly-Dobbly Greenery. This princess/good-witch was so very brave, because Gobbly-Dobbly was a scary, magical forest of trees that move thier branches as though they're arms. Even the king of nearby Gobbleland was totally frightened. And he was, supposedly, tough.

This forest was magical because it was the home of trees that could move around like humans. Yes, they could move thier branches as if they were arms, but, because they had roots, they couldn't walk about like humans. This made them very angry because every day they would see humans walking on the hiking trails all around them! Those stupid walking humans made them both angry and jealous!

They got especially angry in the Fall, because every year they'd lose all thier leaves, and thier pine tree neighbors lost nothing. Stupid pine trees!!!

Autumn just began. But, unfortunately, it was still hot and humid like Summer. Because it was an unusually hot autumn, the magical trees were not only sweating a lot, but they also just began losing thier leaves. Because of this hey were very very very very very very very aaaaannnngggrrrrrrryyy!!!

Sweety Pie and Sparkle were both very hot and sweaty from playing an awesome game of frisbee. Sparkle's tongue was getting pretty dry from all that panting.

Seeing that her dog was panting, Sweety Pie said to Sparkle "Let's go get some ice cream."

Sweety Pie put a leash on Sparkle. But, unfortunately, Sweety Pie got distracted by the television as it played an episode of her favorite television show, American Idol. American Idol was also Sparkle's favorite show too. So, unfortunately, because American Idol him so hyper, she neglected to tighten Sparkle's collar properly.

American Idol ended and Sweety Pie turned off the TV. "Come on, girl,"she said putting the remote on the coffee table and moving towards the door. But Sparkle didn't want to go, so he just sat down and pretended like he didn't hear her.

Sweety Pie knew that Sparkle had a soft spot for cookie dough ice cream. So she, then, made up a jingle to get the dog's attention. She started singing it: "Whaddya know?! It's cookie dough!!!"

The dog immediately perked up from hearing the words "cookie dough". Sweeety Pie quickly grabbed his leash when she saw him make his way towards the door. Unfortunately, the motion was so quick that she didn't notice when she grabbed the dog's collar, she accidently loosened it even more than it was.

"Let's go, Sparky," she said, using Sparkle's nickname affectionately. They both headed towards the open door, and, then, made thier way out of the door.

Once outside, Sweety Pie reached into her hooded-sweatshirt pocket for keys to lock the door. Normally, she would've been wearing jeans. But, later tonight, she was going to give a ballerina recital. But she did look pretty cool in her hooded sweatshirt/ballet dress outfit.

So she locked the door, put the keys back in her hooded sweatshirt, and started walking, with Sparkle, towards the ice cream shop. There were 8,726,876,239,087 hiking paths to chose from. Luckily, Sweety Pie knew which one to take. She knew because there were pretty mums growing alongside the path.
