~~YARN'S UNEARTHING ON EARTH~~
Before Izzy and the gang embark on their ridiculous plan, let's find out what happened when old Yarn visited earth. Contrary to what Leon may have told you, I was not playing tourist, shopping and eating gourmet meals. The first mission was to contact Laddie of the SnowCone Haven to appease the Fester Tails.
What a shock to old Yarn's system when I discovered Laddie was none other than Vladimir, my long lost love. Close up, there was no mistaking the twinkle in his eyes. So, the Fester Tails didn't give a rat's behind about the health of earth children, they knew Laddie's true identity.
Laddie and I were speechless to finally see each other again. Turns out, he never abandoned me all those years ago either. He was captured by the Broshinka Brothers and couldn't show up at the train station that night.
Laddie/Vladimir has been searching for me since that dreadful night. Since I change my name so often, he could never find me. Or, just when he thought he found me, I'd change my name and disappear all over again.
There was a reason Laddie set up his snow cone shop on earth. He'd heard I would occasionally hang out in earth's galaxies and spy on wondrous escapades. Vladimir figured if he stayed on earth long enough, he'd run into me sooner or later. Turns out, he was right. Talk about commitment.
I have the Fester Tails to thank for that. Just when I think I know everything, along comes a race of aliens who really do seem to know everything.
Muriel and Signal Minor also have their suspicions about the weird blob and strange noises in the woods of Sudden Bluff. Several members of the Fester Tail tribe: Trumpet and her sister Feelia, Gus and his pal Barnaby, and of course Hulla Baloo, along with other volunteers, will hide out in the forest with Laddie to keep an eye on things.
Since unexpected incidents always fiddle with the best laid plans, I hope Muriel and Signal are confident in their scheme. All of us onboard Leon believe in the Fester Tails and their tight-lipped plan, so we are fairly certain that no harm will befall Eliza, Paksha, Thil, and of course, Izzy. What about Lucas and Link, you may ask? Those two are in the woods tonight as well and might be harmed? Eh, okay then. I hope Lucas and Link don't get hurt either. I guess.
