Jingle & Bells showed Zlata, Dizzy & Buck to a beautiful clearing. The trio were so happy to see the tops of the houses, smoke coming out of the chimneys, in the distance. "We will have to leave you now, we have lots to do before Christmas" Jingle & Bells said together. "But where is Jasmine" asked Buck. "She will be here very soon" they started to Jiggle again, turned & as they left the three friends they started to sing at the top of their voices, "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way." "I so wished they would change the record" sulked Zlata. "Oh well I will sit on the bench & wait for Jasmine, I do hope she hurries up" So Zlata climbed onto the bench & Dizzy got up beside her to wait for Jasmine. "Knowing Jasmine she will be taking in the sights on the way" laughed Buck. Then out of the trees Jasmine suddenly appeared. Fat Robin landed on a sign which Jasmine noticed said To the North Pole. Oh no I don't think so she said to herself. "Hiya" Jasmine hadn't had time to feel the cool responce from the others. "I have had a wonderful time, you wouldn't believe the things that have been happening" Jasmine was so excited to tell the others what an adventure she had been on. Suddenly she saw they weren't looking too overjoyed. "Anyway I can tell you after you tell me what sort of adventure you have been having" she looked at the three. She noticed the look on Zlata's face. "Errr, didn't it go well then?" she asked gingerly. "Oh, now, you want to know about our adventure do you" shouted Zlata. "Ok then, prick up your ears & listen" So Zlata set of on a tirade, the others didn't get a word in until she was finished. Jasmine I am afraid was about to rub salt into the wound. "So it wasn't good fun then". That was it Zlata was off again. " Blah, blah, blah" "Now come on Zlata, it wasn't that bad. A bit desolate & cold at times but we did meet the penguines & they were fun" said Buck. "But we set out hoping to show Dizzy a good time & look what happened" she said. "I just wanted her to enjoy herself" "I had a lovely time with good friends" chimed up Dizzy. "Yes it was scarey but nothing bad really happened to us apart from getting lost. If I had been brave enough to go through the door things may have been different." Jasmine had a sudden fit of coughing. OOOPs they hadn't gone through the door, hadn't they, flip. "Are you ok" Zlata asked. "Err yes fine thanks. Come on you three, lets pretend the adventure is just starting & go over to the houses we may find Christmas like last time" said Jasmine between coughs. So the four friends plus Fat Robin set off to see what they could find. Background, fat robin - janeeden I was so chuffed as got a site mail to say that one of my pics had been picked as one of three for the mixed medium star charts. It was the "Would you believe it" one. I was so amazed. Thanks for all the lovely comments & favs, so, so appreciated. xxx
