::Out of the sky, you hear a sonic boom. The sound waves feel as if they have rippled right through your body. After you clean up the floor under your chair, you see where the sound came from. A red speck is descending from the sky. Trailing behind it is a billowing, midnight blue robe. And trickling down to earth behind the blazing, red, Radio Flyer wagon are Depends. It's "her". The one that you thought had disappeared from the FML forever. Say it isn't so. Maybe if you close your eyes hard enough, she'll go away. That's it. You squinch your eyes shut as hard as you can and recite to yourself, "please don't be here, please don't be here, please don't be here". As you open them ... :: "Hello ferret love puppets!

They are forming, lines, or characters ... or something. The Robed one claps her hands together after reciting the spell and the ferrets react by launching their tails straight up into the air. Then "the look" creeps across every one of their faces. Just when you realize what is going on, they disperse with a happy dance and leave ... something behind.
