~~YARN'S SPACELOG ENTRY~~
It may seem silly for old Yarn to interrupt the story here, since it's flowing so nicely with me already in it, but someone has to tell you how it all ended. Oh, I'm just joking with you, it's not over yet. Allow a little old lady to her whimsies now and again, will ya?
To everyone's surprise, but probably not much of a surprise to the Fester Tails, old Able Mabel Jesset volunteered to be the hero. Remember at the beginning of our story when we tried to guess who our likely hero might be? Didn't I mention that heroism can arise from an unlikely sort? It seems I was right about that. The giant Firithian woman will definitely shrink, but who knows how small she’ll really get?
For all we know, she may shrink so small that she'll disappear. I suppose it is a chance Mrs. Jesset is willing to take. The Fester Tails knew she would be an important player and urged Leon to assist Gala during the Great Mental Patient Escape. Even though the Fester Tails continue to boggle my mind, I'm certainly glad they caught me.
Signal and Muriel Minor promise Izzian that if the realignment of the telescopes fails, and the Klesians remain small, they have a back-up plan. The Fester Tails will live on Klesia and help the Klesians rebuild their world for a smaller race and learn how to live as tiny people. Not only are they a most intelligent batch of aliens, but they are also considerate.
Speaking of the opposite type of person, the inconsiderate Mr. Laddie of SnowCone Haven has forsaken me and decided to remain on earth, serving up slushy sweets to sweaty children. Although Laddie confessed his undying love for Natasha, he admitted to being unfamiliar with this Yarn person.
After thumping Mr. Laddie on the head, a trait I learned from Eliza, I kissed him on the cheek, a trait I learned from Thil, and agreed. All of it seemed to disgust Izzian to the point of doubling over with stomach cramps. Despite Izzy's bellyaching, Laddie and old Yarn hugged and decided to take it slow.
Plus, Mrs. Jesset's kind words during her long speech caused Laddie to reconsider abandoning the children of Sudden Bluff. We've lived without each other for this long, what's a few more months anyways?
We are officially dating, Laddie and I. Although we still call each other Vladimir and Natasha on occasion, we agreed to get to know each other as Laddie and Yarn. Anyway, after this whole Klesian fiasco is over, I will swing by earth to pick up Laddie. Together, we will visit the Grand Canyon…or the metal spiked fields of Planet Ustopia Ori Cutya Two, either one.
But enough about my love life…
Let's allow the story of old Mrs. Jesset's heroism to unfold. I'm thinking about closing my eyes when the realignment occurs, but then again, I can't wait see what happens.
