Face Painting

Lady Penelope, Parker and I were at a Halloween fair at the farm one late night. I was dressed as a princess, Parker a king and Penelope was a princess too. Among all the stalls and lights, I spotted Mackenzie's mum painting Bingo's face to look like a tiger. Once she had finished, Bingo came running towards me. "Hi, Sybil!" cried Bingo, "My Halloween costume was old and tattered, so I went to have my face painted instead." "Face paints, eh?" I asked, "Well I think I should try it out for a change." I ran up to Mackenzie's mum. "Hey Mackenzie's Mum, is there any chance you can paint my face to make me a butterfly?" "Hmmmm...I don't see why not," said Mackenzie's mum, and just like that, she began painting my face in bright rainbow colours, until...


...I was a pretty pink butterfly princess. "Oh wow!" gasped Bingo, her eyes wide with delight. "You look amazing!" And when Lady Penelope and Parker arrived to see me, they were amazed too, and agreed that I am the best butterfly princess ever to be found this side of this year's Halloween festivities. Penelope swooped me up in her arms and hugged me. "Oh, Sybil," she sighed, "No matter what you look like, you'll always be my little butterfly princess." "And you will always be my queen," I smiled, nose kissing her. Suddenly, Muffin came barging in, followed by Uncle Stripe, Aunt Trixie and Socks. "I WANT MY FACE PAINTED TO BE A UNICORN!" she cried, "Socks ripped up my Halloween costume!"

On This Clear October Month - Chapter 1 - Part 1

On this day in October, Lady Penelope, Parker and I went on a shopping trip in the big town far away from our peaceful countryside mansion.


On the way, I was whining that I was hungry, so Penelope produced a packet of chocolate biscuits from out of her bag.


“Oi, milady,” said Parker all of a sudden, “Have you heard they’re selling Lion King, Little Mermaid and Care Bears sweatshirts?” At once I brightened up.


“And have you heard they’re selling Halloween milk now?” he added. “Yeah!” I piped up, “Orange cream and chocolate.” “I think we’ll add those to our list, Parker,” said Penelope, writing on her rose-patterned notepad. When we arrived at B&M, I was concerned it might be too crowded.


So Penny had to go in and do the shopping while I relaxed in Fab-1 with Parker. It seemed very peaceful at first, but then I heard a baby squealing loudly nearby. “Yoohoo, Parker!” called an Australian-accented voice. It was Nutmeg and her baby, Cupcake, who were strolling past.


I got to hold Cupcake and cuddle him while Parker chatted with Nutmeg. The conversation went on for a very long time, and I was getting restless.
