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"
