Sorry, gals - I didn't mean to leave you hanging, but things got busy and I got tired. So here's the wrap up post. Feel free to add to it whatever you'd like. Just know that poppies don't grow in the land of Shine

oh I object! you put me in the kitchen *sputters incoherently* couldn't you have put my calligraphy to work on menus etc? everyone's gonna end up with food poisoning - and how do I cook for a vegetarian?
If everyone gets food poisoning, then we can have more drama!
Plus, you're the only one with several handsome helpers at your beck and call. If I'm feeling generous (and can get my daughter off to her softball game) then I might edit this for you, LOL.
I'm so glad you fixed the whole poppy-induced dream thing, because I was very disappointed not to have been whisked away by a dashing pirate who had his hand upon my bum. *G*
Grandma Kate raised her eyebrow at Nic as they emerged from the bushes. 'So we were documenting a surprise birthday party instead of an actual kidnapping and hostage crime.'
'Leave it to one if the Weasley boys to mix the two up,' said Nic, stretching the kinks out of his back.
'I suppose we'd better stay and videotape the party,' said Kate. 'But I don't think we had better eat any of the dinner that CHK and her chorus boy cooks make. I suspect they've seen Hello Dolly a few times too often, and will prance about with trays instead of cooking anything edible.'
'Let's try and hide behind the potted palms so we won't be noticed.'
'Maybe we could get a pizza delivered,' suggested Kate. 'If video cameras work here, cell phones will be operational.'
'It shows how much magic the wimpy party planner has,' sneered Nic. 'Never trust anyone with a pencil thin mustache and a soul patch.'
Actually, all of my stories are written from Molly's point of view. She takes after Great Auntie Muriel is some ways. It was fun to write about when the twins were running their Owl Post business from one of the bedrooms when they were staying with Muriel.
TDU decided she'd had enough cleaning, despite her surroundings still looking a little on the grubby side. The pirate was still pointing his pistol at her, which was beginning to get on her nerves. "Will you lower that thing, for crying out loud?" she grumbled. He looked down at the pistol but shook his head. There was nothing for it. She accidentally knocked the bucket of grimy water over him. The plastic rain cape kept him mostly dry but the pistol slipped from his grasp as he tried to wipe the water from his one remaininng eye. TDU picked it up and put it safely on her side of the bar.
"You know you have a very strong resemblance to Alastor Moody," she said, as conversationally as she could manage.
The pirate's face crumpled, making him look even uglier than before. "He was my brother. It was his death that made me turn to a life of crime and party-planning."
"Ah, I see," replied TDU. "You should go and annoy talk to Moonette. She likes a good flangsty tale. I don't. All that misery gets on my nerves." She paused and then
( ... )
"The one with the ridiculous heels and Italian looks."
The pirate stared round until he saw her. "She gave me a few nasty looks earlier - very dismissive she was."
"That's because she's very shallow and only bothered about pretty boys with scars," replied TDU.
"I've got scars," he said.
"I'm sure you have," said TDU, just beginning to smile. "You go and show them to Moonette and talk about your flangsty emotional scars and she'll be eating out of your hands in no time - possibly literally."
The ugly pirate removed his rain cape and muttered "I always did like them Mediterranean types." He started to walk towards Moonette but turned to ask, "She's not another vegitarian is she?"

(and being technical, mine IS a sailor, even if he's the type that deals with planes instead of boats).

"Which one's Moonette?" asked the ugly pirate.

Very funny. Except for the part about turning the ugly pirate on ME. I can dish it out, but I can't take it.
