What A Loot!

Pens, a diary AND chocolate coins you can make wishes on! Imagine that! All that fit for a pirate king!

"Treat yoself!"
-Some unnamed chef from Below Deck

Can You Imagine That?

Imagine - I'm treating myself because some real bizarre events occurred like that stupid pandemic happened again! Chocolate coins (yum). A diary for Furaha and Orko (really useful). Pens (Just right for the diary). And you thought Henry's gifts in Horrid Henry's Christmas Cracker were so sissy! Except for the chocolates, I'd best be careful because Henry doesn't like sharing.

Furaha, Orko & Optimus - Part 1: A Cottage In The Countryside

Somewhere in the countryside, there is a beautiful, yet huge, enormous house that is so big, it could fit an Autobot. And it does. This cosy house, nestled deep within the rolling hills and peaceful forests, is home to three different friends from three different backgrounds - Furaha the lioness cub, Orko the Trollan wizard and Optimus Prime, an Autobot. They are a warm and cosy group of friends who are there for each other no matter what happens - they like to spend all their time at home and around the countryside, playing and sharing in each happy memory together. They are a family of friends - a father, a brother and a sister. They loved each other as much as nature loved them. This story chronicles a day in the life of this group of friends as they run free, exploring the world around them.

Return Of Orko

(Furaha is walking by herself, feeling very lonely. Suddenly, she hears a voice calling out to her:)
ORKO: Furaha!
FURAHA: Orko?
ORKO: I'm back!
FURAHA: (in happy tears) Orko!
(The two hug in joyous happiness and tears)

That's right, Orko is definitely back, and I'm including him in more stories since I'm missing him for like three days. Stay tuned to find more stories as time goes on!

Becoming....Stressed Over Disney+

I am sad to inform you that all these months of watching Disney+ this year have turned me into a stressed wreck. That's because all the grown up documentaries from Nat Geo, Disney and Star, including Becoming and Growing Up, all seemed to fiddle faddle around with my brain and bring naughty things into my head. Luckily this morning, I managed to watch Earth Moods, and this and all the ambient series from the service are just what I need to lower my blood levels and make me a lot happier.

So remember: if you want flashing lights, stand and stare, but if you want ambient music, follow the mouse. 'Ey!

When I Am President

“Wow.” said Furaha as she looked out of her bedroom window. “Wow.” She couldn’t stop staring out the window as she looked out at the beautiful sunlit beach. “Wow. “What are you wowing about?” asked Orko as he floated in. “I’ll tell you what I’m wowing about,” said Furaha as she sat on her bed, “Years since 2008.” “That doesn’t make sense,” said Orko. “Yes it does.” “Why?” “Because it’s been years since the historic moment that Barack Obama was elected president of the world!” “Oh, I remember that year, it was the year a DVD of my cruel life came out!” “Forget about that,” said Furaha. “Thanks.” “Now, what would it be like if we were presidents?” “Ooh!” squeaked Orko, “I love the sound of that! Being president of the world! Sounds like a job I’d root for! We’d have to dress smart.” “No, since presidents live in America, and American children wear anything they want to school, we can wear whatever we want.” “But what about the rules and laws?” asked Orko. “Well, Orko, imagine what we could do to make our world a better place…”

Digital Comfort - Part 1: Pirate Game

It was night time in Wizardmon’s cosy little cottage, and the wise Digimon was happily enjoying the calm and the quiet, with a nice mug of tea and a little peace. That is, until Furaha and Gatomon ran in wearing pirate clothes and slashing wooden swords playfully. “Yaaarrr! You’ll never get my treasure!” laughed Furaha. “Oh yeah? Make me find it!” cried Gatomon. Furaha and Gatomon were having such a ball, pretending to be pirates and jumping on and off furniture. Wizardmon was glad to let them carry on. “Not so noisily now,” he said. Furaha at last leapt off the sofa and pinned Gatomon to the ground playfully. How the two laughed. Wizardmon’s rest was over. “Okay, girls, it’s way past your bedtime. Let’s get you two ready for bed now.” Wizardmon hugged Furaha, then picked her up in his arms and brought her to the bathroom. Gatomon followed.

Me, You, And Digimon Adventure: Obsession - Part 1: Furaha's Nightmare

Rioting ocean waves splashed against the rocks of an empty, stony beach as, in the silence, the land turned blackish grey. There was no life in sight: no trees, flowers, grass, plants or anything. Even the sky was black and grey. On the dry, cracked grounds of the beach stood Furaha, an innocent little lioness cub who her palms pressed against one another, her eyes closed. She was praying in silence, hoping someone would answer her. Suddenly, a voice rang out. “Doctor, we’ve caught hold of her!” “Hold onto her now, don’t let her get away!” cried another voice. Flashes of blurry images filled Furaha’s mind: a cat being strapped down to a table and injected with lethal liquid, then being thrown into a cage, and finally transforming by the light of the moon into Gatomon. Furaha’s eyes shot open, and she was reduced to tears by what filled her mind. She punched her fist onto the ground, and suddenly, she was surrounded by a ring of fire. “I won’t let Gatomon live this life again!” she cried.

Digimon Adventure Tri: Confession: My Favourite Part

AGUMON: Hi! I'm Agumon. What was YOUR favourite part of Digimon Adventure Tri: Confession? A friend of mine told me her favourite part was when her fav Digimon of the series, Gatomon, and her partner Kari, went out for ice cream together then took at least three pictures in the selfie booth.
GATOMON: Ahem.
AGUMON: What?
GATOMON: Terribly sorry to interrupt, but I think that's her least favouri-
AGUMON: Ah-ah-ah, it's her favourite scene and that's final.
GATOMON: Oh. Well, I am lucky to tell you that Wizardmon didn't die!
AGUMON: What the-?!
GATOMON: Yep, my friend's imagination brought him back to life! (whistles) Hey, Wizardmon, come and meet Agumon!
WIZARDMON: Hello, guys, I bet Kari spending time with Gatomon was the best thing to happen ever since my appearance in Digimon Adventure.
AGUMON: Well, it looks similar to boring anime we have now!
GATOMON: No! No it doesn't!
AGUMON: I'll kick your Digi-bum over this!
(Agumon and Gatomon begin fighting. Wizardmon shrugs.)
WIZARDMON: Digimon will be Digimon...

Digital Confinement - Part 1: What Shall We Do Today?

Deep within a million spheres of light, there is the Digimon's white and gold computer/set top prison. All around are a collection of colourful building blocks. Agumon and his friends Gabumon, Biyomon, Tentomon, Palmon, Gomamon, Patamon and Gatomon are all bored. Yes, bored. And for the hundredth time, BORED! They just sat or lay there in silence, gazing up at the ceiling that seemed to go on forever. Agumon sat in the corner feeling his little scaly tummy rumble. “So, er….what do you want to do today, guys?” asked Agumon. “We could play Go Fish.” said Gatomon. “Nah, we don’t have any playing cards.” sighed Tentomon. “How about hide and seek?” asked Patamon. “There’s nowhere to hide.” said Biyomon, “Perhaps if you had a technological pen you could draw sofas and beds for us to hide under or behind.” “NONE!” cried Patamon. “Alright, not so loudly, you’re doing my head in,” said Tentomon. There was a long silence, save for the quiet beeping of buttons. Then Patamon had an idea. He bared his teeth and playfully growled, “I’m a Digimon, the most evil one in the world! I’m gonna kill you and have you for supper!”
