Ima's Secret mission ( Chapter Two )

 Hi there ! " said the old buzzard who was in the Clubhouse perched on his  'perch' ( actually it WAS a fish )

" Oh no ! " thought Imapig2, " how am I going to make my wings without anyone seeing me ?  "Before she could say anything, Buzzardpig flew off his perch, calling to Imapig2

"Bye Buzzy" 

" Think I'll go & catch me a nice juicy pigeon " said the old buzzard & away he flew without a mention of the feathers Ima was trying to hide behind her back.

" Hope there aren't anymore disruptions " said Ima to herself as she gathered all the feathers together from her hiding place....Imapig2 got her glue out to make a pair of wings when ...suddenly she was aware of two sets of 'eyes' looking at her from out of the tank on the book case. 

Is someone ...there ? She felt a '
Presence'

Imapig2 smiled back at her two pets Slugger & Sammy & popped a couple of radishes into the tank for them. " Now be quiet while I make my wings " she told them & busied herself for the next hour or two cutting & glueing.

  At last she was satisfied with the results of her labour & held them up to admire them, " I'll just try them on " she said." What do you think ?" she said to Slugger & Sammy gazing at her from inside their tank.Her two pets seemed to be smiling in approval ( she thought ). " Great...that will do then. Can't wait to try these out. All I need now is for Moonpig to take me up in his U.F.O. to the moon Titan around planet Saturn & I can be just like my bestest friends."                             Imapig2 hid her wings out of sight so that she could suprise APigCanFly & Moonpig ....

Hidden behind Moonpig's throne

....The next day when they were altogether in the Clubhouse Imapig2 said to her friends " Close your eyes, I have something  ' Special ' to show you "

" Wonder what this could be " mumbled Moonpig, trying to peak  0 @ <  

" I like surprises" giggled APigCanFly , with her eye tightly shut  > @ < 

 " Ta Dah ! You can look now "..Imapig2 was wearing her pair of wings she had made.

Ta-Dah !

" Oh no ! not again ! " despaired Moonpig...APigCanFly stood there Open mouthed   

" Well , what do you think ? " said an overjoyed Imapig2  :) I was reading in Mommy Dear's magazine ....blah ! blah ! blah ! ...& thought you could take me there Moony, What do you think " smiled Imapig2.

" And me, I could come too ! " agreed an excited APigCanFly

We could give it a try !!!!

"Well I have been working hard repairing a few problems  Moonpig thought out loud ( this might be a good idea to see if my controls are working right ) he said ...under his breath.  O.K.....let's try it ..I've de-cluttered some of my gadgets," assured Moonpig " so there should be plenty of room for all of us."

Ima's Secret Mission ( Chapter 1 )

 Chapter One

For months now Imapig2 had secretly been collecting  loose feathers that had been left around the farm yard, off hens, geese & even an old buzzard.... But why this secret hoard ? Had she become a compulsive hoarder ? Hardly, she had read in one of ... 'Mommy Dear's ' magazines an article entitled " Fancy That ! Facts to make you go Wow ! ". According to what it said, Saturns moon 'Titan'has a low gravity. The gravity is low enough that with wings strapped to your arms, you could....fly like a bird.

I Can ...Fly ....like a bird Ima thought

" Wow ! "said Imapig2 to herself, " if I collect enough feathers & make a pair of wings......I could achieve my life long ambition (even though she was still a piglet by many other pig's standards)...to fly like my friends ". So that is what she had been doing for the last few months.All her collected feathers had been carefully hidden away in Moonpig's Clubhouse.

APigCanFly spotted her one day collecting feathers from the chicken-coop... " " Hey ! Ima " she shouted above the noise of cackling hens," What are you doing with all those feathers ? "

Just the job

" Oh ! not much." answered Imapig2 shyly," I thought the Clubhouse could do with more cleaning so I'm going to make a New feather duster. " ( was all she could think of...off the top of her head quickly )

APigCanFly looked suprised " Don't think you're going to need All those " she commented .

" Erm.....( thought Imapig2 again....) I thought I would make one each for  my 'Bestest friends '...You, Moonpig & myself " Ima answered back.     

" That's very thoughtful of you, but I still think you have far too many feathers....Must go, "  & off she flew towards Mootown.

" Phew ! that was close," ( thought Imapig2 to herself & carried on towards the Clubhouse to hide her feathers )

Suddenly...." Hi ! There " called Moonpig appearing from out of nowhere." What you going to do with ..All those feathers ? "

Oh ! Hi Moony...APigCanFly went THAT way

" Oh ! hi Moony, erm..er my mommy wants some to re-stuff her feather cushions with " said Imapig2 thinking quickly..." Aren't you going   the wrong way ? " Moonpig pointed out" Oh ! yes, silly me " laughed Imapig2 " Thanks Moonpig, " by the way, if you hurry, you'll catch up with APigCanFly, she just flew off to Mootown,  ( pointing in the direction & hoping Moonpig's attention would be distracted away from the feather situation ).It worked ... quick as a flash he ran off in the same dirction that APigCanFly had taken.A big sigh of relief came from Imapig2's direction as she darted into the Clubhouse carrying all the feathers she had gathered"               

Mr Porky Pig

In rememberance of  'MR PIGGY ' from MFF U.S.A  server 1 (who used to play  My Free Farm )

One night Imapig2 said to Mommy Dear " Tell me a bedtime story mommy before you go " 

" Just a small one  then " said Mommy Dear , " How shall I begin , I know....Once upon a time lived a Big Fat Boar....Mr Porky Pig... He was a rather plump pig . He walked with his front trotters tucked behind his back.He was BIG , I mean round & stout without a doubt , was Mr Porky Pig . 

Where did he come from ? Nobody knows for sure , but here he was now in Moo-Town . Where does he live ? Here & there , stopping nowhere for long . His eyes looked sad , as though his life had been a hard one ..Still he had all the young sows ' swooning ' over him & not long after , there was always the ' patter , of tiny trotters . Well one day Mr Porky Pig was taken on a long journey...No one-one knows where to or who by. And that was the last we ever saw of him . But for all those years that he had turned up , he had been the envy of all the sows around. Some say he was getting a little ' long in the tooth '

A faint noise could be heard coming from Imapig2's direction . " What's the matter ? " asked Mommy Dear to Imapig2 who's chin had started to wobble .

" Sniff ! sniff ! " snivelled Imapig2 , " It's such a ' sad ' story  . Is it a story about My Daddy ? " she enquired .

 " It's just a ' Story ' " was the reply , handing Imapig2 a hanky to blow her snout on . 

" Parp ! " Ima blew her snout " Is that a picture I saw of him on your bedside cabinet " she added . 

A Cherished Photo

" Yes " sighed Mommy Dear , " but it was a  L o n g  time ago . Now dry your tears & close your eyes little one , It's time to sleep . With that done Mommy Dear went downstairs 

" Poor Mommy ! " thought Imapig2 , I must think of something to cheer her up " & with that , she snuggled down & finally drifted off to sleep .

Meanwhile Mommy Dear made herself a cup of cocoa & turned the pages of an old Photo Album over slowly , smiling to herself as she looked at the pictures of a BIG OLD BOAR with his front trotters tucked behind his back , " My ... you were a handsome pig in your day " she thought to herself , " And just look at those Big Blue Eyes of yours . I see ' YOU ' everytime I look into Ima's eyes , 'spose there will always be a Bit of You here. "

Mommy Dear finished her cocoa & went upstairs to bed , looking in on Imapig2 sleeping soundly now . " Good night Ima " she said quietly kissing her brow  " I have something better than a Photo of Mr Porky Pig " she thought to herself " I have YOU " & with that she  crossed the landing to her own bedroom .

" Good-night Momma " said Imapig2 sleepily...zzzzZZZZZ !

                                     

♥♥ I still have You ♥♥

A Lymerick poem called ' Boat '

Three litle pigs

They sat down..one each end

The three pigs

the other sat straight in the middle ,

You can guess who that was

'cos very soon he said.. 'Soz !'

will have to go in the bush for a piddle!

Ima' turned to her friends

when Moonpig re-appeared

quite relieved was he now, looking normal

She said, " I 've got something, to show you my friends

APigCanFly said " That sounds quite abnormal "

Ima' said to the two

" Listen quietly please do

Listen please

I've got something to tell you important,

" We're all ears " Moonpig said

" Please tell us we beg "

and the two listened quietly concordant.

" Well I know I can't fly,so I thought I would try

to do something quite different instead

so I bought this old boat 

from off an old goat

What you're gonna use for fuel ?

to try racing along the river bed !!

" What you gonna use for fuel.... you fool " 

said Moonpig all of a quiver

" Will use my corn oil "

 replied Imapig2

Then 'storm up & down' on the river.

" Don't think that sounds good,

Don't think that you should,

What will Mommy Dear say " APigCanFly added.

"Oh ! she doesn't need to know

I'll just 'get up & go'

will make sure I'm very well padded. " ( said Ima' )

So Imapig2, padded up and got in the boat

with  cushions from Mommy Dear's home.

the boat too was padded ,

 to make it more safe , Imapig2 added

they'd lined with some paper & foam

" Cast off ! " shouted Moony

" Imapig2's quite looney

what's behind all of this ? " said he,

" hold your horses...three meal courses

red or black sauces,

while I go in the bush for a Pee !

Whirr ! went the boat

Glug ! glug ! was the note

as the boat tried to do ...as was told

" There's a hole in the bottom

I think it is rotten "

Ima' said getting all wet & quite cold.

She was hauled out the boat

crying " This is no joke,

just wait 'til I see that old goat "

" What will you do ?

 will you turn him to Glue ? "

said her two bestest friends. 

laughing out.

Soon have you dry

Her two bestest friends

took Ima back home

sneaked into the kitchen - to dry her

They fetched a big towel

Ima started to howl

as they rubbed her all over

near the fire

" What will we do

with these soggy wet cushions ? "

her two piggy friends said together

" We'll give them a spin

let's fling them both in 

& peg them all out in fine weather "

Must have a ...pee !

So that's what they did

each pig got a peg

& hung them both out on the line  

Moonpig said " 'scuse me

must go for a ' wee ' "

to the toilet he made a Bee-line

" What's wrong with Moonpig "asked Imapig2

" he's been going a lot to the loo ! "

" I think he's been drinking ,

that's what I am thinking

now he's paying the price, wouldn't you ? "

" WHAT'S ALL THE COMMOTION "

burst in Mommy Dear now ,

what's my best cushions doing

hanging up there ? "

" We thought we would wash them

beause we did er.. squash them "

said Moonpig appearing to care."

A plug of an old goat !

" & what's all this nonsense I hold in my trotters

a plug of some sort I'ts quite old ,

It was off an old goat,

'said it was for that boat

that you bought off him 

so I was told ? ".. (" WELL ")

Two piggies went ...RED

the other...DARK GREEN

The three were all of a tremble

Imapig2 cried

" It was a Surprise ! 

A present for you

to assemble 

"
It started sinking "

We thought we should try it 

before we did buy it 

to make it quite safe for your journey,

but without the round plug in

it started...well sinkin' "

said Imapig2 looking all squirmy

" Is that! why it sank ? "

APigCanFly said looking blank

Mommy Dear was looking quite stern,

" I don't believe  a word....

it's all quite absurd.

Shall we start with Moonpig...It's you're turn "

Nothing to do with... ME !

" Gulp ! "

" It wasn't MY idea.."

began Moonpig " I fear "

he said.. looking all ' scrunched ' in the face

" APigCanFly..you might try,

must go to the loo now..bye bye "

& over the hill he did race.

APigCanFly's turn it was..

for the ' truth ' now because

not me either

Mommy Dear was getting impatient

" Wasn't my idea either'

you could ask the bee there "

replied APigCanFly feeling complacent

With that she flew off

leaving Ima behind

to face Mommy Dear on her own

" Well what have you to say ,

 did it happen that way ? 

cos those friends of yours have both flown ? "

" Of course it is true ,

would I lie to you ? "

said Ima with all trotters crossed

Mommy Dear looked dumbfounded

" Right then you are now ' grounded '

Two weeks from now, that's the cost

Hits rock bottom

And so end's the day

with no boat , come what may

'xcept a plug & some chain in a trotter

& Imapig2

feeling dejected...wouldn't you ?

And the boat sitting low in the water

Pondington picnic-ers

Wrote this when there was a picnic area made on MFF awhile ago now.

Pondington will never be the same

You can see, as you go up the lane 

This way !

There's a banner with balloons sticking out high

inviting 'folks' to picnic up there & why ?

It's all for money,things don't change much

How can a pig make a living with such..

an inviting 'Lure' to sit & feast

on cucumber sandwiches & the like ,at least

Drinks are on the menu too !

Yum ! yum !

carrot juice,tomato ,to name but a few.

They wait around & wave their hands

while All in a Line...they just 'stands'

I'm ready to order !

S'pose we can't change what they call 'progress'

Just jump on the band waggon..don't want no stress

Take their money,give them their requests

No tax to worry here,treat them as guests

But I do like ketchup along with  my  chips..............

( slurp! ) I just use my tongue after to lick my lips

cone of chips with ketchup-what else !

Wonder what it will be like when there's snow on the hill

Will they come... to picnic still ?

Any picnic-ers about?

Slugger gets a Girl Friend

CHAPTER 6   

" Just going to the Club-House Mommy Dear " shouted Imapig2 as she went   ' skipping ' along 

" Don't be long then Break-fast ' will be ready in a few minutes "  called back Mommy Dear

Imapig2 opened the Club-House door... erk!  ( noise of old hinges ) She trotted up to Slugger's tank & .. " Wow ! " cried Imapig2  " What are the pair of you doing ?!?!

Ain't You Sweet ?

 APigCanFly suddenly appeared " what's up  Ima ? I can hear you all the way up the hill ? "

" Look ! look ! " she said excitedly ," Slugger's back to his  'old self ' & he 

has a friend with him & ...What ! are they doing ? "Ima looked at APigCanFly 

" They're just making...er..friends " APigCanFly answered

Moonpig appeared in the door-way , " What's all the fuss about " he asked 

" As if you didn't know " ApigCanFly gave Moonpig a frown .

And as they were disscussing all the ..'ins & outs ' of the matter ,Imapig2 gently got Slugger out....gave him a big ...BIG ....sloppy kiss  ( X ) tickled his tummy & he rolled over smiling :)...." I mus'n't forget your new friend had I " she said to Slugger " Is that your girlfriend ? " 

Slugger made a little slither noise to Imapig2 " 'spose she can stay then " & she reunited Slugger with Sammy & they quickly shared a radish Imapig2 put into the tank from out of the fruit bowl .

" BREAK -FAST is READY " Shouted Ima's Mom..." There's plenty for everyone ". 

All three pigs disappeared from the Club-House ,leaving Slugger & Sammy happily munching their breakfast.

Slugger's Revenge

CHAPTER 5    

Later that day at Moonpigs Place......tap ! Tap ! TAP !...( on Moonpig's door )Moonpig said to himself.. " Who's that knocking on my do-or ? " As he opened the door , he stood in disbelief !!!....it was !!!....Slugger . " No it can't be...er...um  Hi ! Slugger ...Old Pal . "

Slugger was NOT at all amused ! ( you could tell by the expression on his... face )

" I am NOT amused" said Slugger

" You want to know why I threw ..I mean , placed you on my rotting pile... ( snigger ! snigger !) " Moonpig tried to keep a ' straight face '." Never mind , lets get you back where you belong...Quick !                               Moonpig grabbed Slugger , ( without any thought of any injury Slugger may have been going to do him )  & Trotted off as quick as his trotters let him . ........     Moonpig heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Slugger glide safely into his tank ," sorry , but you have a 'visitor' ( or squatter , Moonpig sniggered again ) , Sammy Snail, her name is...nice little thing , you'll Like her I'm sure ,Better make myself scarce now before Ima comes "  & off he 'sneaked' leaving Slugger & Sammy ...eyeing one another up & down.

Hmm !......

Further adventures of Imapig2 & her Pet Slug

Chapter 4      ( The 'Cover Up' )

" Arrgh ! Oh dear ! " Moonpig said to himself as he looked in Slugger's tank a few days later , " Slugger isn't moving " ( prod ! prod ! No response ) He must be....... ...D E A D !....Ima is Bound to blame ME , ( don't know why ) I'll see if I can find a replacement quick before anyone comes . " So off he went to his garden , tossing poor Slugger onto the compost heap on his way to the fields..

Bye..Old Pal

.....After hours of searching     ( actually two minutes ) Moonpig raises his trotters in the air..." Ta-dah ! " he says , 

Tah-Dah !

" Well it looks the same 'cept it has a...er..shell on it's back ...  Moonpig rushed back & placed the snail in Imapig2's tank , replacing the key  back in Ima's Poetry Book just in time as Imapig2 walked in.

" What are you doing here , by Slugger's tank ? " Imapig2 quizzies Moonpig 

 " Nothing ,nothing at all,just brought him one of my Best radishes " Moonpig says , producing a Big Fat radish from out of his pocket .

" Sorry " Imapig2 answered back , " I thought you were... going to...er never mind , I'll open his tank & you can put it in for him . Moonpig tossed the radish in just before Ima exclaimed ! ...

 " Wow ! " Slugger ..you've got your own house on your back ! Did you grow that all yourself ? " Come here Moony...what do you think ?

Slugger !!!!!!

Moonpig looked at Slugger ! ( as though he was ' examining closely ' ) " Yup ! ain't he clever.....Grand Designs !!!  & gave a cheesy grin :)

Cheesy Grin

" Don't you think he looks a little...pale ? " asked Ima 

" ( Gulp ! ) Naa ! he'll be alright after a little more food , think  the sun don't suit him " Moonpig said nervously . 

" Oh ! O.K. " Imapig2 answered .

Moonpig saw Imapig2's puzzled face , so added " Let's feed him some blackberries , that should put the colour back in him .

" That's a Good idea ! " said Imapig2 ' brightening ' up .

"Try Blackberries"Moonpig said

Moonpig tossed a few blackberries from out of the fruit bowl on the Club-House coffee table .

" Let's see if you can do one of your tricks for them . " teased Imapig2

" U-oh ! " thought Moonpig .

" Come on....beg,...Beg !...Come ON !...Have you forgotten....( Stupid ) " thought Imapig2.

" Perhaps he has Sun-stroke ,or is still a bit ... ' Star- struck '. I'm sure he'll ' pick ' it up again if you er...teach him from the begining. ( gulp ! ) " gulped Moonpig .

Imapig2 thought a little....then a little more , before finally saying " That sounds strange to me....but , I'll give it a try . Come on Slugger...bow  Bow ! Come on you stupid Nut ! " Imapig2 was...Not Amused !

Moonpig tried again to re-assure his friend saying , " Hey !....why don't you re-name Slugger...perhaps he would like the name  ' Sammy '...don't forget THAT shell weighs him down now...Give him time " Moonpig tried smiling :)

" O.K. Sammy it is " Imapig2 agreed .

Moonpig made a quick retreat before Imapig2 realised it wasn't Slugger at all that was now the tank , but a Snail !!!!

Better Go.....Quick
