Safe, Sound & Snuggly
It was a cold and quiet night. Penelope was attending a press conference, and Parker and I were waiting outside in Fab-1. "Parker, when do you suppose Penny will be back soon?" I ask. "Any minute now, miss," he reassures me quietly. Sitting next to Parker in the front, I hope and wait and think about what she might be doing.
Suddenly, I start to feel myself shiver. I am feeling very cold. Then I yawn softly. I feel very tired. "Aaaaawwww, miss, are you sleepy?" Parker coos. I nod. "Don't worry, miss, you'll be nice and warm in no time at all." As I settle down to sleep, Parker took Lady Penelope's soft furry mink coat from the back of Fab-1 and placed it over me so I felt warm and snug. A smile slowly spread across my face, and my eyes felt really heavy. So heavy in fact that I fell fast asleep straight away.
"Well, miss," whispered Parker, "When you wake, Penelope will be right here beside you." At that moment, Penelope exited the hall, approached the car and was glad to see me asleep in the front next to my kind, loving uncle figure of a carer. "Aaaaaawww," she sighed quietly, "Parker, you have been taking care of her, haven't you?" "Of course, milady," replied Parker, "Now, let's get you two home."
And off we all drove into the misty moonlight, glad to be together again.
So Snug...
It was a still Winter's night, and the cold wind was gently howling in the darkness, as snowflakes fell beautifully around the mansion. Inside, all was silent. All of Penelope's servants, including Parker, have gone to sleep.
Penelope and I are lying awake, listening to the ghostly coming of snow and ice outside. It was very simple having this moment all to ourselves, listening to the music of Winter outside. In fact, it was the only lullaby we ever needed on this quiet night. I shut my eyes tight and imagine this scenario:
Penelope and I are outside dancing in the Winter night. Penelope takes my hand, and we waltz in a glistening cave of ice and snow. There were ice columns shaped like angels everywhere (no, I don't mean Captain Scarlet's angels, no offence if you're reading this, Scarlet), and the floor was perfect for skating on. So we did skate, and we did such a remarkable audience-less performance. Even Dusty, Bluey and Bingo were there, holding up score cards. We got three 100s all in a row!
Proud of my imaginary success, I snuggled down to sleep, sighing contentedly and dreaming of wandering this beautiful Winter wonderland with Penelope, hand in hand, in a beautiful fantasy where the magic of Winter never ends....
Summer/Winter/Future - Music
This piece of music is divided into four parts - the first part, which sees Furaha and Orko playing ping pong while Optimus prepares dinner, has a light and bouncy rhythm to it, with boinging sounds and tickly xylophone rhythms, but when they take the soup with added NyQuil Energon, an eerie orchestral rise signalises they're collapsing. The second part has sleigh bells and a Christmassy feel to demonstrate it's Winter, but then tribal drums enter and the music goes fast when the snowball crashes into the trio and causes the inside of their garage to freeze over. The third part is a bit more gentle and features flutes, violins and bongo drums to represent Summer, until technological bleeps and bloops lead us into the fourth part, which is made up entirely of futuristic musical sounds done on a synth. The music concludes with, when Furaha and her friends are sailing on a sea of letters, a sad, emotional oboe piece that represents loss and loneliness.
Night Touch - Music
A gentle, quiet lullaby tune with only a glockenspiel and a soft female voice gently humming along to the music.
Bath For Two - Music
This piece of music has a soft, cuddly and comforting feel, with sounds of water splashing and a symphonic piano playing a soft, melodic piece.
Tropical Sisterhood - Music
A gentle, soft tropical tune using soft, swaying rhythms of Hawaiian instruments and lullaby-like rhythms of ukuleles.
Clouds For You - Music
The music for this story has to be as soft and as cuddly as possible, with squeaky toys making the rhythm and the gentle sound of trotting hooves.

Happiness Tip - November 27 - Loving Parents With A Town Called Panic
Nice day for watching A Town Called Panic o-OH MY GOD HORSE IS A TERRIBLE CARER!
Aren't you glad you had parents that aren't as bad as Horse? Think about the times they gave you:
- Praise for doing a good job
- Nourishing food
- Plenty of shelter
- Somewhere to sleep
- A room of your own
- Loving advice
- Kindness and compassion
But please, don't watch Aardman's Darkside for inspiration. It's just too disturbing!

The Land Of Good Parenting - Music
A gentle, calm tune with pianos, acoustic guitars and pan flutes.
Reunion With The Cats
The music starts off as an emotional piano, then it rises and becomes a loud, wondrous celebratory tune when I see Putzell and Angel again. It then goes to an upbeat, bouncy tune which borrows instruments from the original version of Pingu, Meena and A Town Called Panic.
