____________________________________________________________________

First of all, hello my lovely lovely people. It's hard to believe that you all actually follow me on a daily basis as if I'm this wonder woman or something. Let me tell you, I am. I am all that and more. Because wouldn't you know it, I have a long and interesting story to go with that. One day...

I was taking a walk in the park, carrying my dog Otis on my head (he always liked a good view). The view was lovely, the wind was carrying pink umbrellas, and the birds were pooping. Altogether it was an enormously fantastic normal day in LaLa Land. Otis started bouncing up and down excitedly on my head like a moose who really needs a restroom. I set him down on the grass and turned away as he joyfully bounded off in the direction of a nice brown tree.

Turning away, I spotted someone in a dark and hooded trenchcoat. He seemed mysterious and slightly diabolical, so naturally I was intrigued. I squished through the mud until I got back onto the cobblestone path and hurried after him.

Okay, so it turned out to be a she.

But how was I to know?

"She" was a skinny, orange haired person who sported a variety of longbows. She said her name was Christine the Mean and that carrots are not welcome.

"... my name is, uh, Caroline," I said at a loss for words. I felt so let down next to someone who had an awesome nickname. I shuffled my feet in the grass and tried to think of something to say.

"Ya know, vegetables aren't..."

"Do you want superpowers?"

WHAT THE HECK.

I didn't say that but I'm pretty sure I looked like the mirror image of the large mouthed bass I pulled from the pond a while back. A dead large mouth bass at that.

"Sure!" was the first thing that flew to mind. I laughed. Boy, had I stepped in it now.

Before I knew it, I was swimming in the sea of happy unicorns and mushrooms. It was a joy filled place of happiness... and blue goo... I was swimming upwards in blue goo...

"Snap out of it!" Christine the Mean was standing above me. Otis was peering down into my face, apparently arrived back from his business trip. All I saw was a halo of orange hair and big, wrinkly jowls. Obviously the latter were Otis'. I looked down at myself and felt my arm. It was smooth! It was... it was... SPANDEX!

I was covered in Spandex. How glorious. But my moment of triumph quickly diminished from there. Christine the Mean shoved a finger in my chest.

"Remember, pal," she said, looking pretty darn serious, "Spandex is a priviledge, NOT a right." I grew pale. Did it look that bad on me? I supposed not since I had a right to wear it.

"Is there anything else you require, earthling?"

"Umm..." I was thinking of one of my childhood dreams. "Can I... can I have a beard of my very own?"

"Nooo," was Christine the Mean's slow reply. I began to break down in tears. Now it would never come true. Christine the Mean continued. "Otis asked first. Sorry, Caroline."

I paused and looked down at my wrinkly Boston Terrier. Indeed, there it was. A pointed beard. ON A DOG!

Life isn't fair.

Christine the Mean had disappeared in a puff of plaid smoke. Without even telling me what my superpowers were!

TO BE CONTINUED.

FYI, this story takes place in a dismal place called LaLa Land.

Otis and Me are real people.

So is Christine the Mean.

She lives in a virtual place that has to do with Saltwater.

I, Caroline, am also a very awesome dork.
