afternoon adventures, part 1.

Kate began telling of our adventures yesterday, but I see she left out some of the most important bits of the story (while making herself look more important than she actually was) so i figure I had better tell the real story.
As all good adventure stories begin, it was a dark stormy afternoon. Having been locked in a kitchen by an evil witch, Kate, Heidi and Kristen starred longingly out the small window that was being pelled by rain drops. Luckily for the girls they had on their fabulous cloaks (in which they all looked hot) which had gotten them out of many sticky situations. Kristen, stepping on Kate and Heidi, climbed up the wall to the window and used one of the many bobbypins in her hair to pick the window lock open. Suddenly an arrow flew through the open window, narrowly missing Heidi's redhead (she will beat me up for using that term later). It was a urgent message from Tim the Enchanter, whom Kate had previously had an assorted affair with, beckoning the girls to assist him. Kate, having been through years of counselling with a poetic Irishman, was able to put her past feelings behind her and agreed that they should rush to his aid. So out the window the girls climbed in their fabulous cloaks.
As finally Heidi (who has a master's in tree climbing) jumped from the window on to the rain soaked earth beside Kristen and Kate, a huge bolt of lightening flashed across the sky and illuminated their surrounds. Kate, being apt to wander away in dramatic way, found herself drawn to an over grown path that lead to what look the dark abyss. As the girls walked through the woods Kristen (who had a freakishly elf like sense of hearing things) sensed they were being watched. Suddenly Heidi stopped and said "Great Scott!!!" ( apparently in Northern Michigan that is still a term they use much to the amusement of Kate and Kristen) "I do believe there is a sinister figure behind the tree ahead of us!!!!" She sprang forward tackling the sinister figure who was lurking shadly behind the tree. "WAIT!!" Shouted Kristen who recognised the sinister figure from the local coffee shop. "It's the sinister figure who always sits in the corner drink a double short lattte. Interesting theories on the postmodern trend of escapism. I may have hooked up with him once or twice." Begrudgingly Heidi climbed off of the sinister figure, still not sure if they should trust him; Kate also had watched too many episodes of Lost and did not trust him...he could be one of the others. She pointed her sword at him. "Please, I come in peace" said the sinister figure who looked alot like the Master Spy from the game Guillotine . "I am on my way to visit Tim the Enchanter. I fear he is in great peril...and I borrowed his enchanting equipment for this costume party I went to last week." "We to are on the way to see Tim the Enchanter he sent for us by arrowgram," said Heidi warming up to the handsome sinister figure. "If you are on your way please could you return this to him" pulling a medium size wooded chest out of his cloak (where he had hidden it in there is still a mystery to the girls).
Kate, having lowered her sword, took the chest from the sinister character saying, "We surely can." "
"I must warn you though, as you make your way through the woods, the Flirtatious Frenchman has been seen on the path not too far from here. Don't let him distract you from the task before you. It is imparative that you reach Tim the Enchanter in time. "Go now and God be with you!" With that the sinister figure disappeared into the foilage next to the girls....
