Izzy & Eliza...an alien tale

  ~~YARN GETS SASSY~~

  Izzian and Eliza both have the feared Mrs. Aloris J. Maddlington for English class in the coming school year. I wonder if the woman is anything like Klesia's scary Mr. Muckleback. Izzian should know soon enough, because school always begins; like the earth always rotates and the seasons always end. It's inevitable, just like homework.

  Izzian may never experience the wrath of Mrs. Maddlington, though. If Enot figures out a way to find the missing Klesians, the little pretend family may have to leave. They have a bigger Glotfish to fry, and a missing planet is a pretty big Glotfish.

  The most important occurrence since we last spoke is the fact that Leon, my beloved yet cranky SpacePod, has made peace with the Fester Tail Tribe. Signal and Muriel Minor, in all of their wisdom, have decided to rename their tribe. Instead of calling themselves Fester Tail Tribe of SpacePod Yarn, they shall now be known as the Fester Tail Tribe of SpacePod Leon.

  Leon couldn't be happier about the change. He has moved past his jealousies and become part of our group. Thanks to our smart little Fester Tail couple, Signal and Muriel Minor, Leon is now conducting full scale investigations and systematic scans of the space fields near Klesia and its moon. Soon enough, the scans will reveal what has happened in the far away universe where Izzian's home planet resides.

  While Leon completes his research, I'll zip on down to earth. I find myself in an unusual position. I'm not quite sure how to go about it all. In all of my years watching younglings and their stories unfold, I've never felt the need to make myself known. I'm not sure how events will transpire on earth, but I'm willing to try anything once.

  For my first stop, The Fester Tails urge me to visit the evil snow cone maker Laddie, and stop his reign of sugar-filled terror. I still find it so strange that such an advanced people as the Fester Tails should care so much about a random sugar peddler on earth, but there you have it.

  I'm afraid our communications may end for a short while, but Leon and the Fester Tails have everything under control. I hope. Very soon, old Yarn will be down on earth, enforcing Signal and Muriel's strict dental hygiene and teen health regulations…odd as that may be… and meeting our little green boy, Izzy.

  Look out, earth! Here comes Yarn.
