When we last left our Heroine, the spoon was hot and the needle sharp.
Err…
Fleece Girl looked at her opponents, Caffeinator and Coffee Monster, with a scowl and inhaled the sharp musk of a nice, freshly ground dry roast. It doesn’t get much better than this, the smell of coffee and a good old fashion a$$ whooping’.
“Caffeinator, you’ve raced your last pulse, woken your last drowsy patron,” declared Fleece Girl, putting up her dukes to sock the MegaRobot. “I’m taking you in.”
Dark Queen Fashionista jumped through the window, throwing a non-functional silky scarf around the neck of Fleece Girl.
Fleece Girl struggled to break free and use her cellphone to call for backup. Tangled in a fashionable scarf, unable to get the phone to her ear, staring at the approaching MegaRobot, Fleece Girl attempted a left-handed text message.
Caffeinator snatched the hi-tech Fleece cellphone from Fleece Girl’s mittened grasp.
“Text Message. Fleece Girl. Letter ‘P’. On. Stop. Left handed. Can’t. The.” blooped the MegaRobot with blinking red ear lights.
.
.
.
Back at the Fleece Mansion, the Oatmeal King was in for a surprise of his own. He glanced down at the one new message on his OatPhone.
“Need Hels” read the urgent text message from Fleece Girl.
“Huh, wonder what she meant by ‘Hels’? Heels? No, she wouldn’t wear heels. How strange.”
The Oatmeal King set the phone down and wandered into the Fleece Kitchen.
“Oh my GOD!!! Someone made oatmeal cookies with my Oatmeal!!!”
The king stared at the tasty plate of cookies sitting on the oak kitchen table. The smell of freshly baked cookies permeated the air.
Over his left shoulder appeared the giant Cheshire Cat smile of Evil Rachel Rae. Her incessant laugh echoed through the kitchen eerily.
The King turned around, but not in time to catch the teeth before they disappeared again.
.
.
.
“C is for Dry Roast,” declared Coffee Monster, flinging beans in the general direction of his mouth.
Dark Queen glared at the brown Monster.
“You uncouth moron, look how you are dressed, Coffee Monster. Pathetic!” said the uncomfortably fine looking Evil Queen with her hair pulled back tight. “Do you smell that?”
“Dry roast?” said the Coffee Monster.
“You forgot to plan for one thing, Caffeinator,” said Fleece Girl, dangling from the grasp of the MegaRobot and wrapped in the fashionable scarf.
“That. Fleece Girl? What’s.” binked Caffeinator.
“Look up,” said Fleece Girl.
“Ninjas! No. Oh.”
.
.
.
Are the ninjas there to help?
Will the Oatmeal King survive with cookies?
Will Evil Rachel Ray hide all the cookies in her cheeks and store them for winter?
Do the ninjas just want an espresso?
Will Fleece Girl give up her practical ways and wear a beret and heels?
Stay tuned!

patrick, this is so exciting. to think there is some fashion hope for fleece girl, no matter how small.

February 2nd, 2007 at 9:17 am
Annette, ssshhhh. If Patrick prefers to write for us rather than the masses . . .
Wait, we are the masses, right?

I know this is totally off topic, but this is a writing blog, right? So…
OMG HOW EXCITED ARE YOU FOR THE NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK?! I’M SO EXCITED!!! I JUST RESERVED MY COPY 6 MONTHS IN ADVANCE, OMG!!! EEEEEEEE!!!!
February 2nd, 2007 at 10:54 am
Well, just so everyone knows, I am keeping the adventures of Fleece Girl over on my blog which is slightly updated. I’m still cleaning up, but at least I see a purpose to the blog now.
And I had finished my pages on my other project for the day before I did this. Long wait in an airport last night…
February 2nd, 2007 at 10:55 am
Harry Potter is NEVER off topic, Lizzie. I’m happy to talk about that all day long.
Can I just say that one of the first (and incredibly selfish) thoughts I had when I heard the news yesterday was, “Whew! That’s coming out July 21st, not August 28th!” (which is when my book comes out). Because I, just like millions and millions of my fellow humans, will have nothing to do from July 21 to July 23 or so (depending on how long the final installment really is, and whether anyone has the audacity to interfere with all of our reading hours) but read that book, savor it, love it, regret it, wish there were more, want to start the whole series over again, etc.
I have to tell you that there’s a pizza place here that serves a great pie but totally lost my business forever a year and a half ago because on their sign out front, just one day after book #6 out, they’d posted “Dumbledore kills Snape.”
I hadn’t read the book yet–I was unavoidably delayed–and I was so shocked and horrified that that disgusting owner of the pizza joint would dare spoil the book for anyone like me. Bastard, bastard, bastard.
And so I read the whole book with this sense of anticipation and dread, and then when I got to the end I realized the pizza man lied, and then I EXTRA HIDEOUSLY MONUMENTALLY hated him.
Every time I drive by there I hurl evil thoughts at him.
So now I know which direction I won’t be driving in late July, since obviously the man has no sense of humanity or decency whatsoever.
So, off topic? I think not.
February 2nd, 2007 at 12:42 pm
Damn it, Robin. I haven’t read #6 yet!
February 2nd, 2007 at 12:47 pm
Patrick, thank you for continuing. If is OK with Robin, what is your blog address.
Robin, Does this mean that no one is to share any rumor or tibits from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows until at least a week after 7/21? The penalty is expulsion from this blog?
I was in Germany fall 2005. I was riding the U-Bahn with my wife. I was talking with her about “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” when one of the passengers went shhhhhhhhh. I looked at her and she said to me “Next week the german translation is coming out so you must not speak of the book”.
She then explained that she had already read the book in english but I should be careful of spoiling it for anyone else. I immediately switch subjects.
February 2nd, 2007 at 12:53 pm
Don’t worry, Laura. I didn’t give anything away. The point is that sign LIED, and it lied evilly, and I hate that pizza man with a passion I can’t do justice to.
Anyway.
Herb, what a sweet moment in international relations! I love it when millions of people all over the globe are all so eager to read the same exact book. J.K. Rowling deserves every penny she makes, for having turned on so many people to reading.
February 2nd, 2007 at 2:01 pm
Herb, I can’t tell you, but if you click on my highlighted name… strange things may happen!
February 2nd, 2007 at 5:11 pm
[Deleted for spolier potential.] OMG!! We are still reading Order of the Phoenix-I know we are behind in the series, but sheezz, [deleted] We’ve got to start reading faster..Meanwhile I am 200 pages into TTW and am lovin’ it
February 2nd, 2007 at 5:26 pm
Deborah, calm down. The pizza man lied, the books will reveal all, just keep reading them and come to know the truth the way all the rest of us did.
February 3rd, 2007 at 1:05 pm
p. where is installment three?
February 3rd, 2007 at 6:23 pm
It’s up. Been doing some house cleaning over there. Hopefully the site is usable, but comments/suggestions are welcome.
Is the Pizza Man related to the Lying Chicken People?
February 3rd, 2007 at 10:20 pm
When Lying Chicken People die, Lying Pizza Man uses them for ingredients.
