I love it very much when Johnny think I am 'the most beautiful bird in this universe' - his words.
Not mine *blushes embarrassed though with a very happy smile too * But every man - and some presumably not quite
straight women or at least very gay - in a big room ...
Cluck?
I backed off - up on Johnny's toes unfortunately.
Then hurriedly stepped down yanking my wishing stick hanging on a chain around my neck up from the
front of my dress and waved it around in the air while trying to grab a hold of both Johnny and Legolas with one
hand - which is 'mission impossible' - so it was a good thing Johnny got hold of the boy while I hung on to him.
Hoping
very much Santa could handle/save himself ... A chicken only have two hands, after all *blushes even more *
Now when you use a wishing stick you are suppose to - as the name states - to wish for being somewhere
else in particular while waving the stick in the air.
If you doesn't make a very clear wish you might either stay
where you are or end up in some very unpleasant spot like the backside of the moon or in the middle of a swamp - on the back
of an alligator too ...
Johnny talked us out of that trouble back then too though.
Told the alligator that a dragon bigger than the offended reptile was out looking for us and
would be rather mad if Ralph (the 'gator) ate us before - he started to say Draco - but then amended it to 'the big dragon'
could.
... he is wonderful, isn't he *O* ?
I always close my eyes when using a wishing stick and didn't quite dare
open them when we arrived at our destination this time. Where were we?I stumbled forward still holding on to Johnny's hand
and bumped my head into something warm, soft and smelling of rum - Jack?
Then a well known voice said "You could give people
a heart attack appearing out of nowhere like that, darlin' ... Savvy?" and I opened my eyes and smiled broadly at Jack Sparrow
before hugging him all I could.
Looking around after that hug I noted Ichabod, Bon Bon, Sam, Donnie, don Juan and Ed Wood
close by too.
This silly chicken had as usual thought of Johnny and had ended up at the pirates' Christmas ball where
there were plenty of 'Johnnies' around *O*
"Yes - well ... We really couldn't send a message ahead or something, Jack.
We had to get out of there fast. ... where's Santa though?" Johnny said and looked around.
Then looked relieved when the
rotund man came over and said quietly "I managed to follow you, kids. ... I think I better go home now though and tell Rhea
about all this. That Jordana wasn't really in love with me ... Or me in her for that matter. That it was just a ploy Loke
had made up using the belt to get to me. ... I also have to tell her about my losing the Spirit of Christmas. We must find
some other way to do things, I guess - rely more on love than magic equipment"
"That's probably a good thing in any circumstance,
sir" Johnny said with a big smile
"But - could you stand in front of me for a moment, sweetie? There! Just a moment - it is rather
tightly knotted on but ... Here we are, sir! One magical Spirit of Christmas for you to take back to your wife"
My
Johnny looked so happy and proud that he could help that I kissed him thoroughly.
Then as he gave the jewel back to
Santa Claus I noticed that people here also looked at me like I was somebody very attractive they would very much like to
take home with them ...
So I whispered hurriedly to Johnny "Could you untie Mumsy's belt again - and be quick about it?
You tied it on so you have to take it off too according to the magic rules"
At first he teasingly said "Nope. Can't do!"
But then he noticed I was really scared and took it off saying more seriously "Well, I think this artifact should
go back to Mumsy anyway. It isn't the safest thing for people to play around with"
"Aphrodite is right over there" Bon
Bon said pointing to my dear mother-in-law enjoying herself on a couch surrounded by handsome young men in all sizes and colours
"Although she doesn't look like she need any magic help just now" our friend commented a bit tartly.
Santa thanked us both
very much for our help - although I'll claim it was actually only Johnny who had helped - and then left for his home. After
that Johnny and I moved over to give Aphrodite her belt back. Followed by a curious Legolas and the 'Johnnies' I mentioned
before.
All these gorgeous men of course made the young hunks around Aphrodite rather jealous. But when one of them told
young Sam to get lost Jack literally growled at him and the startled young man drew back before Aphrodite could laugh "Now,
now, little Jackie-sweet. Will you behave yourself as a good little pirate should"
... and Johnny says I am embarrassing
to listen to at times?
GRINNING EDITOR: You are! Mumsy has trained you well - not so mention you're a natural
*O*
He *o*
Then Aphrodite looked at me and said quietly "You look like somebody really have ruffled
your feathers, little Chickiepoo - come sit here by me and tell Mumsy all about it. ... yes, Stanley! Move over so the little
lady baby can sit down, will you! There's a good boy"
And the very good looking Stanley did move over so I sat down beside
the goddess of love while Johnny sat himself on the floor right in front of me and silently gave his mother her belt back.
"Why, where did you find that, kiddies? It has been gone for ages ... Do tell, little hen" Aphrodite said surprised.
And
so I did *O*
