Who am I, Mrs. Universe, who am I indeed....

*Quickly checks the tag on his underwear*

I'm Jockey! No wait, that's not right... Oh, I'm Safeat2nd, at your service.

Damn!! I keep forgeting about the silent part of skulking.

*Goes back to skulking in the shadows*

Heart-stopping goodness... *snicker snicker drool*

Ahem... I mean, skulk skulk skulk.

But of course. I have Scottish blood in me so it'll come naturally.

Mrs. Universe cringes and gags.
"Ewwww!!! That's a pipe-clogger for sure!"

She walks toward the baked goods table.
"Dibs on the mincemeat pie-aaaAAAAAh!"

Something big, purple and squishy tackles her.

"Arrggh! The second time today! Help me!"

She tries desperately to fight it off of her.

A short, dark-haired woman wearing glasses runs up and prods the purple thing a few times with a pool cue. It backs off.

"Don't worry, Mrs Universe, that's just Bluefishie's squid-thing pet. By the way, I'm called Jet."

Mrs Universe stares at the large purple squid-thing. "I would like some ice cream, too, or some pie," Mrs Universe thinks. It is a very clear and precise thought, and it stays in her mind for a while.

"Hey, Bluefishie! Take care of your pet!" Jet yells.

Mrs. Universe blows out a long breath.
"Thank you, Jet. It's nice to meet you.

She turns and looks at the purple squid-thing crawling away, then turns back to Jet and says to her, "I thought it was the Fruity Oaty Bar octopus following me from....oh, never mind."

She looks at Jet hard, and drops her voice to a low whisper. "Okay, this is going to sound weird, but I almost feel like I'm being watched....well, more like you're looking into my mind. Can you read minds?

Jet raises an eyebrow as she looks up at Mrs Universe. "Well, I am an engineer, a tech priest, and a techno-mage, but no, I can't read minds... yet. Maybe someday."

Behind Jet, Mrs Universe can see Bluefishie's pet reaching a tentacle up to a table to grab some apple pie.

Mrs. Universe is about to reply, when she whirls around, unfolds a fan, and yelps, "Hey! Jet! Bluefishie's squidtrying to snatch the apple pie!"
She attempts to wave and slap the cephalopod away from the pie.

Ooh holiday song time?

We must sing I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas!
(I taught it too the kids at day care last week most of them had never heard it. Now they can drive their whole families insane over the break!)

Fantastic. Did you know that the singer of the song really did get a hippopotamus for Christmas? (Well, okay, her local zoo in Oklahoma did anyway as a result of the popularity of the song).

How about a chorus of All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth?

Mrs. Universe scratches her head.

"Hmmm........maybe we should all yell 'You'll shoot your eye out!' while watching A Christmas Story, rather than sing!"
