Mickey Mouse Countdown Day 1 - The Worst Day Ever!

Today was the absolute worst start to the weekend ever!

I kept whining about how hungry I was to Mum before ASDA came, I pushed my dog off the poof, and I began whinging when he drooled all over the computer! Eeeewww! Then I ordered Coke online and I thought Mum was going to be angry at me, but she wasn't. As a result, I got a full tummy and a blank brain, so I'm taking a break right now.

The only good thing about today is watching my Cubix DVD, which came this morning. I mean, no one in Bubble Town experiences a bad day...or do they?

The Kingdom Of Water & Fire/Orko: A Wizard's Journey

Furaha, Orko and Optimus are wandering through the jungle when they encounter a temple. The temple leads them into an endless dark abyss lit by fire torches, and they go on a wondrous adventure through darkness and light.

I was inspired by the 2011 Thundercats series to think up this scenario, plus the other scenarios involving Orko in Orko: A Wizard's Journey.

In this story, Orko raises and adopts Furaha as his daughter in his fabled, ancient palace after her parents die in an attack on their house. One day, Orko realises his destiny's call must be answered, so he and Furaha go on an adventure for father and daughter to find out what brought them together as a family.

My Book Of Writing Dreams

This Angelina Ballerina story is the last story in one of two of my latest Kindle releases - one I bought for fun, and one I bought to get inspiration for graphic novels. And I was thinking to myself: If someone whose adventures in getting a gift and going to the fair keep getting stuck in your head gets to have a book of ballet dreams, I think I should do a book of writing dreams myself! You can too!

All you need is:

A notebook

And a pen.

Simples! Then, write down any ideas or dreams you have and write them down in big letters in the pages of your notebook. It's that easy! Go on, give it a try!

Rub Rub Lioness Cub

Late one evening, when the sun had gone down and the sky was a pinkish orange, Furaha and Orko were running freely across the grasslands, playing a game of tag. Orko, being a wizard, was fast, but Furaha was even faster. Suddenly, Furaha fell over. She bumped her arm! She screamed in pain, and Orko went up to see her. Furaha was crying as Orko held her in his arms. There was a huge bruise on where she had bumped herself. “Furaha, are you alright?” “No, I’m not, I’ve bumped my arm…” she wept. “I know, it’s a shame.” Orko reassured to the crying cub.

Later, Orko set up a campfire and settled Furaha in front of it. He then placed his softest, gentlest hand on Furaha’s bruised arm and said, “Us Trollans always know what to do when someone’s hurt her arm. Hold still now.” And he chanted:

“Rub rub lioness cub.

Rub rub lioness cub.

Rub rub lioness cub,

Rarr, rarrr, rarr.”

“Is it working?” asked Furaha. “Not yet.” said Orko, and he chanted all over again:

“Rub rub lioness cub,

Rub rub lioness cub,

Rub rub lioness cub,

Rarr, rarr, rarr.”

Furaha suddenly felt a tingling in her arm. She clenched her teeth as it stung for a little while, and then, when she looked down, she found that the bruise was gone and the pain had disappeared. “Orko! You genius!” cheered Furaha, and she hugged her friend tight. “You’re right. You know a lot about medicine and curing people as much as your people do.” Orko yawned. “Yeah, I think you’re right.” And with that said and done, and with Furaha’s pain and bruises out of the way, Furaha and Orko snuggled next to each other, and fell asleep.

The Adventures Of Cheese & Orko - Parts 1 and 2

Orko looked at his calendar and sighed in relief. “It’s the weekend,” he remarked, “An entire day to stay in my pyjamas and do whatever I want.” Orko went into the cupboard and emerged wearing a clean blue and white pyjama top and hat, followed by a long stretch and a yawn. While he wandered through the palace, he saw Prince Adam and Cringer watching TV in the lounge. Under his shadowed face, a smile appeared on Orko as he watched. Prince Adam was in his pyjamas too.

Orko went to the palace kitchens and began to pop some popcorn in the microwave. He got out a bottle of Coke that was in the fridge, and a leftover slice of chocolate cake that Chef Allan baked for tea yesterday. Once the popcorn had finished poppin’, Orko carried all his snacks to his bedroom and went back to bed, exhausted but relaxed. He used his magic to conjure up a TV so he could watch Thundercats, and ate his popcorn and drank his Coke, and finished off with his lovely slice of chocolate cake. “I wonder what Cheese is doing on pyjama day?” he asked himself.

At Cheese and Crackers’ house, Cheese was celebrating the weekend too - he was sitting on the sofa eating a bowl of Ghostbusters Cereal and watching this morning’s episode of He Man. “Go, He Man!” he cheered as he watched He Man battle the villainous, name-calling bonehead known remarkably to all as Skeletor. “I wonder if Orko will be there?” he asked himself as he tried to keep an eye out for his favourite character, who was annoying to some. Still, both Cheese and Orko were excited, and knew today was a good old day.

One day, Cheese was playing happily in the bath with his boat and rubber duck. It was such a lot of fun, as bathtime was his favourite time of the day besides playing with Orko. “Cheese!” called his mum, “Don’t forget to wash your hair!” “Alright,” called Cheese. He loved to use his favourite Roo Doo shampoo, as it makes his hair into wacky new styles. The foam was coloured green too, and Cheese loved how silly he looked when he looked in the mirror on the side of the bath.

Just then, there was a loud POOF! And his best friend Orko appeared right in front of him. “Orko!” shouted Cheese, “Fancy seeing you here!” “I see you’re using Roo Doo, is that correct?” asked Orko. “Yep, my favourite and best,” said Cheese. “I would love to help you make wild hairstyles. Oh, wait, hang on, let me fetch a few things.” Orko went into the kitchen and got out some chocolate sauce, some colourful fruity cereal and some gummy worms. He poured the chocolate sauce on Orko’s head, then sprinkled it with gummy worms and fruity cereal. “There. How do you look?” asked Orko, handing the mirror to Cheese so he can admire himself, “Awesome!” shouted Cheese, “Thanks, Orko!”

“Cheese?” called his mother from the other room. “Is everything okay?” “Uh oh, better go, bye for now,” said Orko, poofing away back home. “Bye, Orko!” called Cheese. He was going to get into trouble for this, but he didn’t mind. Orko and Cheese loved using cereal, gummy pieces and chocolate sauce to make wacky hairdos, even out of the bath. To Cheese’s disgust, his mum washed off everything Orko prepared and made him all nice and clean again.

The Sleepy Walk

Once upon a time in the jungle, Orko sat in a jungle clearing and watched as toddler Furaha played happily, chasing a little butterfly around. She stumbled and fell a couple of times, but she wasn’t hurt, and Orko laughed with her antics. Then Orko looked up at the sky - the bright tropical sun was setting slowly, and when he looked over to his little sister, she was getting tired too. Orko allowed her to climb up onto his shoulders as he made his way through the jungle back to their treetop nest.

They saw many beautiful sights along the way. They passed a bush full of blue butterflies which burst into flight when Orko gently reached out to touch them. They saw a huge rock with ancient cave paintings which told a story of a lion king’s rise as heir of the throne. But the best thing they encountered on their way as it got dark, was the waterfall. Orko floated up towards the waterfall and saw his misty, rippled reflection in its curtained shade, all silvery and misty. The water felt smooth and crystal blue when Orko touched it. It divided into lots of huge ripples which widened out as far as a boat can sail. Just the sight of it made Furaha feel really, really sleepy, so Orko decided to continue on his way.

At last, they made it back to their treetop nest, and Orko snuggled among the leaves, holding Furaha in his arms, cuddling her and lifting her high above him. At last, he settled her next to him and she snuggled next to her, fast asleep and dreaming the sweetest, loveliest dreams, as they listened to the lullaby of nature fill the air.

Kisses For Orko

One morning, Furaha and Orko were playing quietly in the living room when suddenly the lightbulb in the ceiling lamp started flickering, and then it doused out like an audience volunteer in a disappearing act. “Oh no! The light’s out!” cried Furaha, “Can you do something about it, Orko?” “One magical spell coming right up!” said Orko. He cracked his knuckles and flew up to the lamp, saying:

“Magic light

Oh so bright,

Use your fuse to-”

BUMP! Orko suddenly banged his arm on the lamp and screamed in pain. “Orko!” cried Furaha. “What happened?” “I bumped my arm,” said Orko. “Well, magic isn’t really required to fix a lightbulb,” said Kiburi. “Furaha, you send Orko to bed and make sure he’s well, while I fix the lightbulb.”

Furaha did send Orko to bed, and as he got himself comfortable, Furaha gave him multiple kisses on his bumped arm like a certain Youtuber with his Golden Retriever. She entertained him in the best ways possible - she told him her funniest stories and sang him gentle lullabies. She put on a puppet show using his teddy Mr Fuzzikins and her unicorn Pinklight Sparkle. But Orko’s arm still hurts from being bumped. Furaha decided to get some bandages from his sleeve and, using her incredible first aid skills, she put Orko’s arm in bandages and a sling. “Thank you, Furaha, a sling is all I need, but nothing makes me better than your love for me.” “Ah, love. The greatest gift in the world,” sighed Furaha as she felt her eyes grow heavy. She got into bed beside Orko as he lay down and relaxed with his bandaged arm, and soon both of them were fast asleep.

“And hopefully,” said Furaha to you, “Orko will feel better soon.”

Orko's Story - Part 1

Once upon a time, in a kingdom ruled by lions, a deadly disease spread amongst the peaceful denizens. Most of them fell ill and died, but those who were lucky to be alive had to flee the kingdom to seek refuge somewhere else. At that time, the queen of the kingdom had given birth to a beautiful baby daughter named Furaha. She feared for her safety, as the disease was spreading like wildfire around the kingdom. Things got worse when her husband developed terrible symptoms and died, so she had to do something - and fast!

She fled the kingdom carrying her daughter under her arms. She ran for a long time, until she was far away from the kingdom. She noticed a lovely little cottage deep in the country and left her baby on the doorstep, but while she ran away to seek refuge, she fell to her knees, coughed, vomited and died on the spot.

The baby was left alone and crying, but luckily she didn’t die or catch the disease. The door to the cottage opened and a small Trollan wizard named Orko peered out. He saw the poor babe crying and alone, and gently picked her up. “Aaaaawwww, are you alone, little guy? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you.” He noticed the babe’s name on the basket. “Furaha. Sounds like a good name. I think we’ll go by that name from now on.” Orko took the cub into his warm, cosy cottage.

He gave the baby a bath with lots of bubbles and even a rubber duck, fed her some milk and tucked her into his warm, cosy, soft bed, safe in the knowledge that she’ll never have to catch this stupid disease ever again. This was an adventure for him…
