So, I waited until the wee hours, the actual strike of midnight to do my Valentine post. I loooooove Valentine's Day. It is soooo fun. It is my favorite ME day. Even when I didn't have love on this day, I still had fun, and did wonderful things...
This Valentine's day, I would like to share a touching little story with you. I know you will like it, I just know it. Why do I know? Well, it has to do with Wee Mouse Boy... Remember him? His life has taken the most lovely turn. Funny how things happen when you least expect...
You see, after sailing the Woodland Seas, Wee Mouse boy decided that since the real estate market was sluggish, it might be a great time to buy. He hoped to be able to get a smokin' deal on a little house. You know, nothing toooo huge, but something that was charming, and needed a little tender loving care...
He found the perfect little place, right outside the Fungi Forest. He was having a grand ole time one day, fixing the roof, when he heard a sweet girl voice singing a high pitched tune...
He looked up and what did he see?
But, a lovely little mouse girl, riding her bike down his path, headed straight towards his house. She was carrying a book, perhaps selling encyclopedias?
Oh, she was an adorable creature, she looked like she was glowing. Only, as she turned onto the bend in the road, Mouse Boy noticed, she was in for trouble. She had not seen the giant furry animal, lurking in the midst...
She was just toodling along, humming her tune... Mouse Boy almost fell off the roof, trying to warn her that there was a giant fur creature, about to...
About to decide to plunk down, on the path, right where mouse girl was riding her bike...
The furry creature knocked her over. And, in a fit of fear, she froze, just thrown on the ground, not able to move an inch...
It seemed the furry creature hadn't even noticed her. Mouse Boy hollered, "Don't worry, I'll save you..."
He pounced on the furry mass. The problem was, the creature thought it was a game...
The furry pooch meant no real harm. She just wanted to play... Mouse Boy quickly realized this, but, he wanted to impress the Mouse Girl, peeking up at them... She was dusting herself off while Mouse Boy tried to show off...
Mouse Girl wasn't really interested in Mouse Boy's antics. She just wanted to try to sell him some books, and be on her way... She had gotten back on her bike and was riding away, when Mouse Boy called out, "Come back, what are you selling?"
Hmmm, she was a little leary of Mouse Boy. She was greatful though, he did try to help her, but then the extra Macho Mouse stuff, just made her think he was a silly fool. Still, she had to thank him for being helpful to her, things could have turned out worse, and he did almost fall off of the roof trying to help her...
So she rode her bike up to his house, but as she jumped off, she noticed something was terribly wrong with her bike. It fell over, looking like something had happened to the tire... Mouse Boy exclaimed, "I'll fix it," with a very mischevious grin...
But as he tried to lift up the bike, he fell flat on his face. This led Mouse Girl into a mad giggle...
She liked him so much more, when he was being himself. She thought he was cute when he fell over. He quickly got up and invited her into his house, putting her bike on the porch...
She smiled politely, and said "I would rather not, can we just sit outside." She had been taught in her book selling seminars, that no matter how nice a person was, she should not go into their home if she did not know them. Good advice, even if Mouse Boy is harmless and all...
Mouse Boy thought to himself, and then realized she was just being cautious. So, he dragged his sofa outside, so they could sit and chat. But, you know how the story goes, Mouse Boy was already smitten... The love bug had bitten him. It was too late...
As they chatted, Mouse Girl found herself being fascinated by Mouse Boys tales of adventure. Sailing the Woodland Seas, escaping a witches curse... Mouse girl then noticed, Mouse Boy had lost a perfect white glove in his fight with the dog. So, she scurried around looking for it. She found it, and offered to put it on for him...
When their hands touched, that was it, both of them were feeling the love bugs... They had fallen instantly in mouse love... She realized, he was a full on Duckie. Her sister had told her that to find true love, she would have to close her eyes, and change her idea of what the perfect mouse was. But mostly, she was to be open to the Duckies of the world, many of them held the key to true love (and to treating a girl like a queen).
The sun was going down, and Mouse Boy had a brilliant idea! Why not take Mouse Girl on a sunset sail of the winds in the Woodland Sea? She pondered, and then agreed... After-all, her heart was a flutter for Mouse Boy as well...
It was the most romantic evening ever recorded in Mouse history. I mean, come one, two mice, on a boat, sunset... And then a sliver of the moon peeked out, and the perfect clouds picked up the little boat, and sailed them around the skies in the most breathtaking flight...
So, that is the story of how two mice met, and spent the most lovely unexpected Valentine's day together... You never know, what might be headed right down your path... How do ya like them apples?
Now, this year, I give special Valentines, to all the Duckies of the world! I have to say, I adore Duckie boys. I am one girl, who realized that the so called "cool guys," just weren't for me. I actually have a Duckie in my life, who happened to look just like Duckie, when he was much younger!! Extra hugs for all the Duckies out there!! Gotta Love em!! (FYI, the actual cool guys are the Duckies, if only girls would realize this sooner)
Today my sister said, I wish Pretty in Pink had a different ending, where Andy ends up with Duckie. Me toooo!! Then again, it's just a movie, no need for me to get all weird over it... Hee hee, moving right along....
