This is the end of Chapter One. Don't worry, there is still more to come!! It's getting kinda long so I thought I would cut if off here and send copies to those who want it! I've had requests from several people, so if you want a copy of the story to this point, let me know and I'll e-mail it right away! I have also had people ask if they could have another turn! Since I hate to see the story end and people do seem to be enjoying it, I think we should go ahead and continue!! I have about 6 more people from the original sign-up who need their turn, but after than, if there is anyone out there who wants a second turn - or anyone new who wants to join, please let me know! I will start a new list!! In the meantime, Chirstianaferret had just been broken out of jail...... The story was passed to Stephanie Grant. Steph wrote: The Dook, who had boldly jumped in front of Christianaferret to boldly protect her from the unseen commotion, relaxed seeing his Faithful, Beautiful Black & White horses with their flowing feather covered shiny hooves; there, to save the day, he wiped his paw around Christianaferret long slim waist and leaped onto the back of Ben. Hold on tight Princess he shouted! He told Jerry to lead the way out of this prison, head for the grove. Ben & Jerry confirmed with the other horses on a plan to safely surround and protect the Dook & Christianaferret, while they sneaked them to safety out of the dungeon to the safety of the Grove. He and Christianaferret needed a plan of action to contact their parents on the present situations. The Dook, secretly wished their rescue could have waited a few minutes longer, prior to their rescue, He and Christianaferret were really opening up, if she is really the princess he was destine to spend the rest of his life with, this jill wasn't just another pretty nose, she had a something he found fascinating, they had live similar lives and surprisingly they had so much in common, plus she did have a pretty nose. Of course the lump on his head still hurt, from the coconut, but chuckled as he thought about her story of how she had found herself being taken for a common ferret and trying to play the role. She was so innocent in the ways of the outside world, and she did have something, no other jill did. She was as curious about him as he had been about her. He wondered when, after this mess got straightened up and He & Christianaferret, had their own Hidey-hole, happiness would surely follow, and love could bloom, even in a pre-arranged marriage. His parents had assured him it happens all the time. "Dooky, snap out of It", Ben & Jerry told him, in unison, we have a long way to go to the safety of the Grove, we have some urgent news to tell you two. Dook touched Christianaferret paws holding tightly around his waist, both felt the sparks fly. "Hold on Christianaferret", as the Beautiful Black & White Horses hurried back up the long hallway to the doorway that leads outside. Christianaferret, hanging on tightly to the Dook, wonder where is my beautiful box now. Will I ever see it again? I need it; I have so many questions concerning the Dook, which need answers. Where oh where is it now??.. As they exited the dungeon, and crossed the Courtyard, towards the back gate that lead to the Grove, in the shadows, stood his Uncle, the Evil Count Hiss-Hiss....
