"Everyone ready for the big race today?" "MACHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP!" shouts Stallone as Sarah Jane rolls her eyes. "Stallone is.... excited.... about the race," she says as Spunky decides it would be fun to chase Lara's Growlithe. "Do they ever stop?" asks Robert as he watches the Growlithe try to back away from the playful young Nidoran. "Almost never," says Damian as he walks in, followed by Drake. The Dragonite nods emphatically as he hopes Cuddles and Spunky don't notice him. "How's the foot?" asks Rilli. "Sore. It'll take a few days," replies Sarah Jane. "I'd like to be able to ride in the race myself, but I don't think I'd be able to ride Ferdinand the entire race." "Got about an hour till race time," interjects Lara. "So ya'll eat up." <tbc> -- (o)_(o) || Time Lady, sailrgal@swbell.net _(^*^)_ || sailrgal@hotmail.com, sailrgal@my-dejanews.com (__ __) || Visit the Mystic Manor Homepage /_/\_\ || http://members.tripod.com/~MysticManor
