Lisa & Starlight

Today, our friend Starlight was going to the Ponyville Beauty Salon to get her hair done by Lisa, the most famous hairdresser in the world. I wonder what she’ll talk about with her today? Mostly things done by me, by the way.

“So, what’s on your mind today, Starlight?” asked Lisa as she started shampooing Starlight’s beautiful golden mane. “I want to talk to you about a few ideas Sybil told me about. First up, there’s Furaha’s Nap. It’s a story where Furaha has a nap after a long, exhausting day playing, and Orko naps with her.” “That sounds adorable,” cooed Lisa as she applied the sweet-scented L’Oreal shampoo to Starlight’s hair and rinsed it with hot water. “Ow! Oooh!” Starlight cried. “I mean - ha ha, er…ooh, that’s divine. So cool! Anyway, this story’s meant to encapsulate the feeling of spending time with your brother after a long, exhausting day. Toddlers do tend to get a bit cranky.” “Of all the little ponies, no ponies scream and shout louder than the baby ponies.” “Boy, they tend to get on my nerves.” sighed Starlight. “Lucky I get to spend some me time there.”

Next, Lisa applied conditioner to Starlight’s hair. It was very sticky and smooth. “So, about the next thing I’m gonna talk about. My Little Panda.” “Oh yeah, what about it?” asked Lisa. “Well, it’s a story where baby Furaha and her brother Orko were raised by a family of gentle, caring pandas somewhere in the dense Chinese bamboo forest. The family consists of a father, a mother and six cubs. In Sybil’s world, pandas love to baby the ones they love, particulary those who get adopted into the family, such as baby lioness cubs like Furaha. In this story, they learn how to survive in the Chinese wilderness.” “Sounds nice, if a panda were to take me in I’d get fat from eating too many bamboo leaves.” responded Lisa. “Nah, you said it wrong. You’d be malnourished from eating bamboo leaves and not proper human food.” “And then I’d become a skeleton!” said Lisa, and both of them laughed. They laughed so hard that Lisa almost squirted shampoo into Starlight’s eyes! “Ow! Mind my eyes!” she cried. “Sorry, sorry about that.” said Lisa, and she continued to shampoo Starlight’s lovely golden hair.

The Biggest Snuggle Ever

It was a dark and rainy afternoon. It was peaceful with the sound of rain, a grey sky and the sound of the sea in the distance - especially if you’re Furaha and you live near the beach. To Furaha and her big brother Orko, today wasn’t a day to be going out. It was a day to stay in and keep cosy. And in Furaha’s bedroom, they were doing just that. The two friends were looking out the window at the pouring rain outside. “Just look at that rain,” said Furaha. “Mmmmm,” said Orko. “So many rain droplets. It’s hard to keep count of them all with so many pouring out of the sky.” “At least we stay in nice and dry,” said Furaha, “I believe all those droplets come in hundreds and thousands.” “Like the sprinkles on top of your ice cream?” “You could say that,” said Furaha with a laugh. Furaha and Orko lay back on their bed big enough for the two of them and sighed.

“It’s times like these when I’m glad to have you by my side,” said Orko, “Whenever I feel lonely, you come to vanquish it.” There was a long silence. “...with CUDDLES!” Orko cried, and he grabbed Furaha in his arms. The young cub was struggling at first, but then she enjoyed Orko’s cuddly ways as always. Then Orko started cradling her out of comical love, then stroking her. Then scruffling the fur on her head. Furaha giggled. “Hey, stop it!” she laughed. But Orko had a better way of responding. He fell onto the bed with Furaha still in his arms and cradled and cuddled her. He then rolled around on the bed hugging Furaha tight. The two were laughing and rolling around whilst enjoying the most intense snuggle of all.

Just then, Orko fell off the bed, and so did Furaha - onto the soft pink furry rug. At first, the two sat up and rubbed their heads, but when they looked at each other, they just had to laugh. “Again!” squealed Furaha, leaping into Orko’s arms. Orko rolled around once again on the floor, hugging Furaha. He lay on his back and threw Furaha in the air, catching her. He then placed his exposed head on top of Furaha’s, and planted tender kisses on her head. How Furaha laughed and giggled. She screamed with joy and wiggled free. Just as she was about to dash out, Orko grabbed her and hugged her tight. He then took her in his arms and started to tickle her soft tummy.

A Windy, Sunny Day

Somewhere in the ‘80s…

Cheese, his big brother Crackers and their friends Scooby Doo and Orko were making their way to the park. It was such a lovely day, and a strong breeze was blowing in the air. Crackers was carrying tennis rackets and a tennis ball, and Cheese was carrying the small badminton thing that people use to play badminton. Orko was carrying his favourite red kite. All four of them have agreed that it was the perfect day to do all this and more. “I can’t wait to head to the park! I want to play on the equipie-ment with Orko.” “It’s equipment, little Cheese.” said Orko, slightly annoyed a little. “Whatever. The thing is, it’ll be such fun!” “You bet it will, Cheese!” said Crackers, “I so can’t wait to score some pointers!”

Suddenly, they heard a howl in the distance. “Rikes!” shouted Scooby, and leapt into Crackers’ arms. “Are you sure there’s a forest nearby? ‘Cause I heard there may be wolves.” shuddered Orko. “Wolves indeed. There are no wolves in town!” “Well, think again!” laughed a voice from around the corner. Out jumped a pup Cheese and the gang have never seen before. He was covered in curly golden fur, had a bead bracelet round his arm and a blue bandana round his neck. “Awwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!” he howled. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!” everyone screamed. The new kid just laughed. “Only fooling with you, man,” he sniggered, “I’m Wolfie.” “Phew,” said Scooby as he freed himself from Crackers’ grasp, “That was close.”

How To Tickle Your Brother

Orko was relaxing on the sofa, his eyes closed and a chilled out tone to his personality. It was one of the days where he felt like doing nothing at all. Not even magic. Just relaxing and forgetting about the world. Suddenly, he heard a giggle and opened one eye. Forgetting it, he went back to sleep. That was when our cuddly friend Furaha prowled into the living room, and tiptoed behind the sofa. She waited until her brother Orko was fully asleep, in a curled up cat-like position on the floor…and then, she slowly rose up over the top of the sofa, licking her chops. She wanted to pretend to eat Orko for dinner. Or maybe she wanted to do it? I don’t know.

Anyway, with a leap and a pounce, Furaha leapt onto Orko and roared at him. His eyes shot open as Furaha began to tickle him. “Tickle tickle tickle!” laughed Furaha. “AAAAAAAA!! No, please, stop!” shouted Orko, laughing and trying to struggle free on the couch, “I’m ticklish! No, stop!” “My cat like instincts told me to do so,” laughed Furaha as she tickled her brother even harder. Orko couldn’t help giggling as Furaha’s soft, fluffy fingers brushed the velvety fabric of his cloak. “If you had skin, I would tickle it too.” said Furaha over Orko’s laughter, “It’s a shame I can only see your skin on your arms, hands, fingers and ears.”

Orko pushed Furaha off him viciously. “You’re gonna get it, Furaha!” he cried, and he chased the squealing lioness cub around the living room. Furaha fell smack on the fluffy white carpet, and Orko began to tickle her tummy. “Aaaaah-hahahahahaha! Stop, please! I’m gonna…” As Orko was tickling her, Furaha showed her claws and began to grab his hand. “Oh my goodness, what a tight grip!” cried Orko as Furaha growled big cat style. Orko continued tickling her and began to spin her around on the floor. With his other hand, he put on cool red shades and used his tickling hand to spin Furaha round like a record. “Furaha-lini!” he kept repeating for minutes on end. At last, Furaha let go and ran away. Orko looked at his hand which tickled his sister. There were scratches all over it. With a bit of magic, he healed his scars. “Right, where’s that little scoundrel? I’m gonna give her a good tickling!” said Orko playfully, and went off to find his mischievous little sister.

The Four Friends

Chapter 1

On February 3rd, 2003, What’s New Scooby Doo aired on Cartoon Network in the USA. This was one of the momentous occasions for the channel, as it became a fan-favourite Scooby Doo series. At the same time, Transformers Armada and He Man were airing on Toonami, a strand from Cartoon Network. In an unexpected turn of events, this true story was when all three worlds - or better yet - four characters from each show - collided.

The Great Lobster Migration

On a little fishing boat in the sea, Scooby and Shaggy were out waiting to reel in the big one. Today was the perfect day to go fishing, and Scooby Doo was up for a good taste of fish for supper - especially with chips, because to a dog, no fish would be complete without chips. Scooby and Shaggy were waiting quite a long time, and Scooby was getting rather fidgety, even though he was told to keep still. To a dog, keeping still means the fishies will come. Suddenly, he had an idea. He threw his lame old fishing rod away and dipped his tail into the water. To a dog, dipping its tail in the water is the best way to catch fish easier. Keeping his tail quite still, Scooby sat on the side of the boat and waited for his big catch.

“You know, Scoob, you’re super like skilled at catching fish your way. I think that with enough patience, someday you’ll I CAUGHT SOMETHING!” “You’ll I caught something?” asked Scooby, but when Shaggy reeled in his catch, he was disappointed to find that it was only an old kettle, dropped in by some raggedy antiques store owner while he was out fishing, too. At the same time, Scooby felt something bite down on his tail. “ROW!!” he shouted, and lifted his tail out the water to reveal…a lobster! “Wow, Scoob, I’ve never seen something this beautiful and red before.” said Shaggy, running up to get a closer look. But the more Shaggy leaned closer and closer towards the lobster…it let go of Scooby’s tail and pinched him on the nose. HONK! It then blew a raspberry and leapt into the water. It was followed by another lobster. And another. And another.

In an instant, the boat was surrounded by lobsters, all making their way out to sea. Shaggy took out the Sealife Knowledge book and consulted it. “It says here that the lobster always swim south for the Winter. And hey, it’s January right now, isn’t it?” “No, it’s August.” said Scooby. “Well, I’m like certain it’s January. Let me check the calendar.” Shaggy ran down to quarters to check his calendar. It really did say, 6th January! He ran up and grabbed Scooby in a vicious hug. “It IS January! Quick, Scoob, set the boat to full speed! We’re going after these lobsters.” Scooby put on his motorcycle helmet and ran to the captain’s wheel. He pressed a red button, and brakes appeared near his hind paws. “No brakes, NO BRAKES!” cried Scooby, and pressed his foot down hard on the pedal.

VROOM! The boat set off at top speed across the water, with Shaggy holding on for dear life. “HELP!” he cried.

Small Paws

It was getting dark outside the little beach house where baby Furaha and her family lived. Orko had just brushed his (exposed) teeth and magically changed into his soft, cosy pyjamas, while his baby sister Furaha had a nice warm bath. She was already dried and, as Orko floated into the living room, he saw Ua cradling the little lioness cub in her arms. Orko thought this was adorable, and floated up to his mother to gently look at his sister. “She’s so cute,” whispered Orko. “I know she is. You told me that the moment you arrived on our planet, Orko.” said Ua softly. “Would you like to hold Furaha?” “Me? Oh yes, I would love to.” Orko said happily.

Ua gave Furaha to Orko, and he gently sat down on the soft sofa to stroke, pat and comfort the soft little lioness. The look in Orko’s eyes was warm and soft as he tickled Furaha’s soft tummy. Furaha reached her paws out to touch Orko’s exposed face, and the clumsy Trollan wizard, now a careful big brother, reached out to touch Furaha paw-to-hand. “Aaaaaaawwww…” sighed Orko, and hugged the sweet little cub gently. Furaha began to purr, safely tucked up in Orko’s arms. Furaha’s light, deep purring filled Orko’s pointy ears. Wrrrrrrrrr…wrrrrrrrr….wrrrrrrrrrr.

“Oh Furaha,” sighed Orko, stroking Furaha, “I’ve never known such a beautiful little baby as you. You’re the missing puzzle piece in my life, and I’m glad you fit into it. You and your parents. You yourself are the milk in my cereal. The forbidden apple on the tree of life. The bubbles in my bath. The fingers on my nimble hands. You’re the softness on my bed. You’re all this and more…oh, I love you so much, Furaha.” Kiburi and Ua watched with warm smiles as their daughter was stroked and hugged by the greatest wizard in Trolla. “Looks like she loves you,” said Ua. “I think she really does love me.” said Orko, softly.

Furaha snuggled into Orko’s arms and right into his chest, feeling the softness of his pyjamas. Orko giggled a little. “Hey, that tickles!” he sniggered.

Pool's Shut, Tide's Out

Furaha and Orko are excited to go swimming, but when they realise the pool is shut (not due to all the things Furaha suggested), they decide to hit the beach and swim in the ocean to make up for it.

Story Plan - Someone To Watch Over Me

1. Orko is watching Furaha play with her toys from the sofa.
2. Orko laughs as he watches Furaha tumble about on the floor with a beach ball, her cat like instincts coming back to her.
3. Furaha then plays with a toy fire truck, pretending it is putting out the red fire on the sofa. It turns into a full on tickle fight with Orko.
4. Furaha leaps onto the top of the sofa to escape Orko's clutches, and begins to balance across the top of the sofa while trying to escape. Orko chases after her.
5. Furaha races across the hallway with Orko chasing after her, straight into the kitchen, where she perches onto a table and begins washing her paws.
6. Orko sighs and tells Furaha to get off the table, because her dirty paws would mess up the clean, pristine tablecloth. "Also, when you wash yourself with your instincts, it's really disgusting," he says.
7. That does it! Furaha leaps off the table and into Orko's arms for a hug. Orko decides he would play with Furaha, just so that she doesn't cause any more trouble with that fire truck.
8. The two friends return to the living room and begin playing with the ball Furaha was playing with earlier, with Orko watching and coaxing Furaha on as she tumbles around with her ball.
