Jim Dandy:

Meanwhile another dashing figure appeared. His eyes were filled with dark,amber liquid fire that sparkled with charm....His tan complexion, toned in the sun...his smooth voice detracted attention away from the ancient spanish armor he wore..."Buenos tarde, Scarlet," he spoke in a deep voice soft as only a noble spaniard can entone. "encantada" he almost whispered as he kissed her hand....the word meant enchantment and she certainly felt beguiled.
"My name is Fernando...the real Fernando..." he began. He told her that he had searched the New World or as he put it "Nuevo Espana" with Ponce DeLeon for the fabled Fountain of Youth and the Seven Cities of Cibola with Coranado..he had found the founatain after his return to what they now called Puerto Rico..and his ship had been blown far off course by a storm like he had never seen before...they had drifted through a sea of kelp fighting to keep there small craft going...when they had found this island...Fernando admitted that he had long since discovered the secrets of the island and that he had created the fountain from his mind....He told Scarlet that dhe too would be allowed to drink of it, but unfortunately like all things that leave the island...its gift would disappear within days...all of the island's gifts did so...and if Senorita Earhart was to go, then she would be a very old woman indeed in just a week or so...He himself would certainly turn to dust...With that he smiled and said,"But what is out there when you can live forever? Just be careful...sometimes people think of sea serpents...or monsters...and sometimes other fantasies come true" As he spoke a full moon appeared, candlelight, wine....
Scarlett began to fear the powerful charm Fernando carried...if his story were true, then he was centuries old...and she didn't see any other spaniards about....
"Come my beautiful rose...sit with me a small moment of time. There is food for us and the breeze seems perfect...I promise you will be delighted by this culinary mastery by the finest chef my imagination could recall...." he smoothly pulled the exquisite chair back as an invitation to dine....

Horseman:

She noticed that her captor was bound to a tree facing away from the table...Fernando noticed her glance..
"ahhh, my beautiful swan...do not worry about this man. I, Fernando, have seen to it that he will not trouble you again...
It was odd...she thought..she did not even recall where her gag had disappeared..or how she had gotten to this spot overlooking the ocean...
was she thinking of somebody...?
"Have some wine my beautiful princess..." Offered Fernando...and she sipped the wine as all thoughts of friends were forgotten...

ScarletRose: "scarlet!" Scarlet was awaken from her day dreaming and found Isabella pulling at her wrist, "oh, PLEASE Scarlet don't be taken in by Fernandos charms, we have to escape before its too late.........

amandalove:

"Isabella, my dear...do not seek to frighten this lovely dove...such machinisms do not become you. Jealousy has many forms, but please I bege you...do not allow it to control you. We had our day togther, but there is enough Fernando for everyone. What we had was a glistening moment that has blossomed and passed...it was brief and beautiful. Do not deny Scarlet the same chance at happiness..."
His eyes sparkled,alluring Scarlet with gentile urging...she felt a longing to return to the table. Fernando seemed like such a gentleman...strong...noble...
Isabell was jealous? THat only made sense. She hadn't approached Fernando...and he was a grown up...he had the right to spend time with whoever he wanted...it was amazing that even on a faraway island people still held to their petty wants...Fernando clearly was undeserving of such venom from Isabella...those cast aside were often jealous....what they had was over...now it was Scalett's turn...
She felt herself move toward Fernando...he smelled of sandalwood and basalm...how invigorating she thought....forgetting Isabella was even there.

ScarletRose: In jim's hand was a smoking pistol...something that looked like an antique...

Horseman: Isabelle turned chalk white and turned and fled deeper into the jungle. Crying uncontollingly she triped over a root and landed flat on her stomach. There she laid quiet crackeling sounds came thru the vegetation, shouting and screaming continued; slowly Isabelle began to feel dizzy, "whats happening to me" and she lost contionesness.

amandalove:  Looks like this story has lost conscienceness too.  Perhaps we should end it as it is and just chat here. ;)

amandalove: a figure appeared from the darkness...it was fernando. " Isabelle...let me help you up, my enchantress..." How did HE get here she thought...

Horseman: "How did she get here she thought as she woke up"



The End

Foxy Lady:  I agree.  Then End.  Time to move on to something new.  A month between posts on a story is an indication that the story is dead. 

Groucho: That story died along time ago.For one thing it was way too long and not much interest.

Foxy Lady:  At this rate we'd finish this story in 2008 ! ;)

Groucho: That wasn't even a story anymore The Bermuda Triangle died way before we started on here.

Tuesday: Sebastian had no choice, he was on a mission.

Tuesday:

Tuesday: Sebastian padded down the marble stairs into the trainstation, keeping to the shadows hoping he was not too late.

Tuesday: of course he was a mere whipping boy for the prince...it really wasn't his place to think such things. When the prince made an error it was he wh recieved the punishment...one should never strike royalty after all.

Horseman: Once Sebastian had reached the level where the trains were, he started looking for platform 9 3/4. Naturally, it wasn't visible. But he knew he'd have to pass through the seemingly solid partition between platforms 9 & 10, if he was to get to Hogwarts.

ArnieTxx: The queens maid hoped Sebastian had recovered from the last thrashing he had recieved. The prince's tutor had been quite angry that day...Sebastian had looked rather dazed.

Tuesday: (If only the money were as good) he thought to himself(still, money was,nt everything, maybe he would even get a day off now and again)

Mousetrap: it took Sebastian a little while, but he came to realise that he stood upon a platform in the New York subway station somewhere near 42nd street....not somewhere in London.

Mousetrap: something waved back...and it looked more like a troll than a person...at first he shudderred...then he understood that it was just the mistress of the house in a fur coat

Mousetrap: But alas!
she was a virtual cyborg.The light of day brought the truth to light.He decided to grab a taxi while she was plugged into the wall recharging.

Jim Dandy: And the taxi drove him away into the dawn never to be seen again, at least by the Itche,s!

Mousetrap: He was never seen again cause.He didn't pay his fare.Where could he be? Hmmmm in Taxi Land?

Toofer: Now this Taxi Land was like a dark black hole...............

The Story So Far:

It was a dark and stormy night. Sebastian had no choice, he was on a mission. He had to care for cissy, Jody and Buffy. Sebastian padded down the marble stairs into the trainstation, keeping to the shadows
hoping he was not too late. The sack lunches weighing heavily against his vest. He wished he had stayed with the royal family at times like these.

of course he was a mere whipping boy for the prince...it really wasn't his place to think such things. When the prince made an error it was he wh recieved the punishment...one should never strike royalty after all.

Once Sebastian had reached the level where the trains were, he started looking for platform 9 3/4. Naturally, it wasn't visible. But he knew he'd have to pass through the seemingly solid partition between platforms 9 & 10, if he was to get to Hogwarts.

The queens maid hoped Sebastian had recovered from the last thrashing he had recieved. The prince's tutor had been quite angry that day...Sebastian had looked rather dazed. Hence Sebastian's reasons for becoming a butler/nanny for an ordinary American family.

(If only the money were as good) he thought to himself(still, money was,nt everything, maybe he would even get a day off now and again) t took Sebastian a little while, but he came to realise that he stood upon a platform in the New York subway station somewhere near 42nd street....not somewhere in London.

With a start he realised that the bright lights of London were now the Big Apple of NY and he must have fell asleep on the train and thought he was back home.


He took out his brand new state of the art tribane mobile phone and texted "I have arrived, r u here? Wave if you r"

something waved back...and it looked more like a troll than a person...at first he shudderred...then he understood that it was just the mistress of the house in a fur coat

He replaced the phone and walked up to her. "Mrs Itch?" He inquired. "Yes, Sebastian right? I am sorry but my husband Ivan had an important meeting to attend too so I came instead, lets get you home you must be really tired after that journey and hungry too I bet!"

And with that she turned and walked away with Sebastian hurrying after her.  (definately fake ) he thought to himself He hoped that the coat was the only thing that was fake about her.

But alas! she was a virtual cyborg.The light of day brought the truth to light.He decided to grab a
taxi while she was plugged into the wall recharging. And the taxi drove him away into the dawn never to be seen again, at least by the Itche,s!

He was never seen again cause.He didn't pay his fare.Where could he be? Hmmmm in Taxi Land? Now this Taxi Land was like a dark black hole...............

Groucho: The End.   

Once upon a time, in the land of Brainking..........

was there a little boy.

...with a magic box

Skyking:  He found the box in a little grove of trees in the property just behind his house.  He had been looking for a good tree in which to build a treehouse.  At the base of an old oak tree was an hole and something inside the hole caught the boy's attention.  Something sparkled.  He reached inside and pulled out the small box.  It was covered in jewels of red, yellow, and purple.  Certain he had found a treasure chest, he tried to open the box.  But it was locked.  Quickly he felt inside the hole in the tree to see if he could find the needed key.........

Groucho ☺: The magic box has a genie within....

Dolittle: When he opened the box out jumped a fox singing Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way

Foxy Lady: The fox started to get really excited because she new "xmas is soon"

xmas is soon: But the Fox was really excited because in the box was a key.Which belongs to her birthday present that she can't find.

Lisa D: ah yes, but is it the right key to the present that she cant find, or maybe we have hidden the right key to the present that Foxy hasnt got a clue where or what it is

xmas is soon: Now the fox found another key in the magic box that opened another drawer."sigh" Which was a note saying "Wait till tomorrow"

Foxy Lady: Yes thats right but i dont think Foxy read the other side of the note , which said "........and we might let you have the right key to the box, that may or may not hold your birthday pressie"

Me thinks this story got sidetracked!!

Dolittle: Me knows it's Foxy's B-day tomorrow... whoo hoo.. another year older and deeper in debt! LOL
