Musty Pete Greets Skylar Torrie is missing her little man, Skylar. He left for the Rainbow Bridge after having a devastating illness. Skylar joins his little sister Angel in the Rainbow Bridge Community. Skylar was very surprised when he arrived to find that he had no pain, no scars on his belly and he felt soooo good! He hadn't felt well for quite a while and it was very refreshing to have no aches and pains in his little body. After I greeted Skylar at the Bridge we set out to find his sister Angel, she was waiting for us at the Community Center. Miss Francis Ferret sat with Angel while she waited and had invited both Angel and Skylar to stay at her cottage for a few days while Skylar made the adjustment to this new place. Francis always has a few extra hammies and sleep sacks already set up for new arrivals, she enjoys giving them a cozy, safe haven...she also enjoys the company and loves to bake goodies for her 'company'. Angel was very happy to accept Francis' invitation. As we walked through the door of the Community Center, Angel jumped up and ran to Skylar, smelling him and showering him with kisses and hugs. She was so happy to see him, she hadn't wanted to admit that she had been a bit homesick. She gushed, "Oh Skylar! I am so happy to see you! I want you to tell me all about everyone back home." Skylar hugged Angel and muttered, "Well, I'm happy to see you too. Where are we?" Angel explained that they were at the Community Center and they would be staying with Francis for a few days..."This is Francis Ferret, Skylar. She lives in a pretty purple cottage." blurted Angel, forgetting her manners for a moment. "Oh I am just so happy to see you!" and she hugged Skylar again. "So? Is this where we will live?" asked Skylar as he looked around the enormous room. "Here?? Oh No! We will stay at the Newbie Dormitories for a few days, many of the new arrivals stay there, sometimes we have to wait on a list for housing, and sometimes there are a few empty cottages, condos or flats we can choose from right away." explained Angel. "I have my eye on a nice little cottage near The Meadows, no one is living there right now and Ms. Francis said she can take us there tomorrow, doesn't that sound nice?" she asked "It does sound nice Angel. What about our stuff?" asked Skylar "What stuff?" Angel replied, and Skylar answered "You know...hammies, sleep sacks, FOOD, toys...all the STUFF we will need." "Oh! Don't worry about that, we will have everything we need, most of it comes from the ladies who do arts & crafts projects here at the Community Center, and some stuff is from donations. Everyone always has exactly what they need up here." she explained. "We never WANT for anything. All our needs are provided for, that's what makes this such a wonderful and magical place!" "It really is beautiful up here, just like Miss Torrie said it would be." Skylar grew a bit sad and Angel hugged him and said, "Skylar, you will see Torrie again one day. When it is her time to cross the Rainbow Bridge, you and I will be there waiting for her. And there is the The Pool Of Remembrance, another magical place, you can go there and look into the sparkling water and think really, really hard about your Earth family, and you can see them in the pool. It's nice and you can go there whenever you get homesick or if you miss someone back on Earth. I can take you there." "Thanks Angel...I think I might like to do that. But right now I am kind of hungry, do you think we could get something to eat?" asked Skylar Francis Ferret only needs to hear the word FOOD and she's on top of things. "Come on kids! Let's go to my house and I will make you a nice big snack! Then maybe we can have a nap or go for a walk." Skylar and Angel bid me goodbye, as did Francis and they left to begin a new life here at The Rainbow Bridge Community. Send greeting requests to: [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML 5398]
