Ye Olde Adventure to the Realm of Best Buy

…And so the Fellowship of the Tablet departed on their curious journey. They were tasked with acquiring the One iPad, sleek and fine. Their black steed raced towards the realm of which they assumed would hold the wonder and power that is the One iPad.

Best Buy’s massive glass gates opened before them, permitting them entrance into its lord’s castle. They passed many sparkling objects of interest and want, but their goal was one: the iPad, sleek and fine. Weaving their way through the castle’s labyrinth, they came upon the tablet sitting on a white table.

“Behold! The One iPad. It will soon be ours!” It glimmered with a glow that was unnatural, yet welcoming.  The castle’s torch lights flickered, and all went dark. A soft murmur filled the air as the castle’s blue cloaked stewards bustled about.

“Ye must go to the castle’s gates, Citizens,” said a blue cloaked man with a red beard. The Fellowship followed him as the castle’s patrons gathered at the gates. It was much safer there, for an invisible force was at play. The castle’s wizards were hard at work.

“No task is ever simple,” whispered I. The torches flickered, slowly lighting their magical fires of neon and silver. Cheers erupted from the blue cloaked stewards. All was safe, and all was sound. The wizards had been successful.

The Fellowship headed back to the One, and a blue cloak was swift to aid them in their task, but alas! The glowing tablet they had thought to be the One was but a display. The real One had been stored away behind lock and key! On the steward went, his beautiful cloak trailing behind him, to fetch the One.

“I bring ill tidings,” he said when he returned, his cloak hanging about his shoulders like a drooping drape. “I searched high and low. It appears that the One has departed from here.”

“It seems our journey has just began,” said I.

…Because I couldn’t think of anything else to write about, I might as well make an adventure out of something mundane! One day I’ll own an iPad…One day. On that day the power won’t go out, and they will have a full stock of them!

Wendy Jones has taken over Mr. Burple Berry’s twitter feed! The first episode of her serial, The Case of the Alien Caper, was posted on Friday, and here’s the scoop:

Burple Berry was minding his own business, tumbling, bumbling, and mumbling in grassy knoll. A flutter of green and purple striped butterflies jetted out from a funny looking rose bush with drooping limbs.

“Gold! Gold! Gold!” came a high pitched shrill. Burple rolled to a savvy stop and turned to examine the commotion.  The leaves hissed when the bush gave a sudden shake.
