A New Friendship to Last Forever, Part 1 by Jeanster 10-30-04

Residents of Honalee are in an uproar over the recent attack by invading pirates who pillaged and plundered their land. We take you now live to the Honalee Mayor's office. Mr. Mayor, some of the Honalee residents want to know why the mighty dragon Puff did nothing to protect them from the pirates. Can you tell us anything? Our resident dragon Puff has not been well for some time. After he lost his lifelong friend, young Jack Paper, he retreated into his cave. He rarely ventures outside.

The Roving Reporter interviews the Mayor. Young Jack Paper, better known here as 'Little Jackie Paper', mysteriously stopped coming to visit our resident dragon. It has been almost a year since anyone has reported seeing Jack Paper anywhere here in Honalee. Puff used to be so friendly, outgoing and helpful, especially when it came to protecting Honalee from pirates who invade our land. But that all changed. It appears as if without his lifelong friend, Puff has lost his bravery. Some of the residents claim to have seen Puff cowering in his cave while the pirates were pillaging and plundering Honalee.

Here we are on Honalee's cherry lane. What can you tell us about Puff, young lady? Puff used to play here along this cherry lane many times. But we never see him anymore. Do you miss Puff? Sure, I do. But it's nice being able to have the hopscotch area here all to myself for a change.

We take you now to Puff's cave by the sea. Our star roving reporter is there to give Puff a live interview. Sorry, but I have bad news. Puff isn't in his cave or anywhere nearby. Honalee's resident dragon appears to have disappeared Puff gone? Sorry, viewers. But tune in later tonight at eleven when we hope to have an update on this new development.

Detective Herlock Sholmes is examining the inside of Puff's cave. What have you found, Mr. Sholmes? Careful not to step on the clues, Mr. Roving Reporter. Hmm. What have we here? Some string. And some sealing wax. And look over there! Some other fancy stuff! Tell you what. I'll let you do the reporting while you let ME do the detecting. Okay?

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!"

Heh heh, good stuff. Punchline was a little stayed but the whole series was told very well and you can use the English language at much greater than a 9th grade level, putting you in the top 10% of SC users.
