It was a lovely night at the Bridge. All was quiet. Everyone was fast asleep, including SaraFerret and de kits. Her new lounge chair was sitting outside her cottage minding its own business also. But then...with the whirring of his little wings, and a very loud crash, everyone awoke. First Serena ran out the door, followed by Isabel, and then of course SaraFerret appeared. Whatever happened! Give you three guesses and the first two don't count. Dexter, the little boy courier, had miscalculated once again--poor little soul. SaraFerret and all ran to get him out of the wreckage. He was unhurt, and he shook himself as if to check everything out. And she looked sadly at her once new chair, but oh well; just maybe she had best give up the idea of a lounge chair. The last ones had not done well; maybe just a quilt for her to lie on would be best. After all, Dexter could never damage that, could he? Finally, he remembered what he had come for and said, "Wow, SawaFewwet, you ought not have goofy things like that chair awound. Someone could really get hurt. But I has this note from the Boss and a fewwet is cwossing the Bwidge and you best get busy and quit messing awound with sleeping all the time. You know, you has weally been slacking off on the job. I could pwobably be a better bwidgegweeter than you. Now is there anyone you want me to get?" He handed me the note and I read it. I avoided any temptation to thwack Dexter and instead gave him a hug and a kiss and assured him that he could probably be very good as a greeter, but that he was just not quite there YET. Then I told him who to get and ran to the entrance. I was just in time to see a large elderly Sable Tuxedo fuzzy meet me there. (Yeah, for once I was on time). So I quickly introduced myself, "Hi I am SaraFerret and I am de bridgegreeter. Welcome to de Rainbow Bridge. Dis is your new forever home. Here you will have no more pain or suffering. You will run on green grass forever and have lotsa friends. Did I mention de fun and games?" He said, "My name is Skittles and I belong to Mommy Debi. Do you know her? She told me that you had greeted lotsa her ferrets. Was she just telling me stories? Where are all of these friends you are talking about? I see just you. You are a nice girl ferret and I guess you and I can be friends because I just love girls. Maybe you and I can just move in together. Where are we supposed to play all these games ? And what are those funny things on your shoulders--OOPS!--sorry, I didn't mean to be rude, Mommy would never forgive me if she knew I wasn't being polite." I replied, "Well Skittles, I have never met your mommy, but I have greeted a lot of her fuzzies. So she wasn't telling you stories. If you are patient you will see them in a little while. There is no need to move in with me. Besides there is just room for me and my kits. You will be living with your friends. They will show you all the places to play. As for these funny things on my shoulders; these are wings. You will get a pair specially designed for you, they are great for flying about the heavens, sure beats hopping from cloud to cloud. So questions answered, off we went down the garden path to de Wing House went de wings were stored. We opened de door and on de counter was a big box marked "Skittles." He opened the box and took out the wings--blue with silver tips. I helped him put them on and adjusted his halo. Then he ran to the big vanity mirror and gazed at his reflection. Then he turned to me and said, "Gee I wish Mommy could see me now." Den I gots an idea. So we opened the door and went down the lane to the Misting Pond. We sat down beside the cool clear water and with one swish we saw a vision of Mommy Debi and Happy appear. He got so excited he started waving and dooking with all of his might. "I love you Mommy. Thank you for loving me. I feel lots better now. I have wings now and soon I will be able to fly. I am going to meet my friends in a few minutes so don't be worried about me." Then he began to throw hugs and kisses and wrapped them with all of his love and laid them on a nearby shooting star which was headed to your house and by de time you should read dis it should have landed dere. And with another swish de vision was gone. As we left there we went down de road and to his surprise, he met Sullivan, and Tania and White Russian's Revenge and Pandora and White Russian who were his family. They told him to just follow them. So we all continued down de road to a village with a big sign (wow that place was nice) #45 FuzzyLoving Lane. You could see that they were getting a party together. Music was a-playing. Fuzzies were running in and out. Many beautiful fuzzy ladies ran up to introduce themselves to Skittles. I could see he was really enjoying hisself. Then he saw the food. All the food, so forbidden on earth, chocolate of all kinds, pepsis, iced cold tea. He was invited to dance and then someone mentioned that they would run over to Dog Heaven and say Hi to Kaos their old friend later. I knew Skittles was so happy in his new forever home, so I waved goodbye and headed for home. I had a new quilt to make and a lounge chair to toss. Lovey and hugs, SaraFerret, bridgegreeter [Posted in FML 6660]
