Falling for the wrong guy

It is a lonely walk when one is always trying to be different. Most of the time, this is how she feels. Recently, she knew that she had in fact fallen - again - in love. Or is it just another massive crush, like the others? For the past two weeks or so, the feelings started all over again. Over taking her by surprise, slamming her heartbeat all around, and making her blush like a giddy schoolgirl whenever she sees a picture or just the very mention of the name.


Indeed, he is a beautiful man. A child compared to her years, yet, a man nonetheless. Four years younger than herself, but possessing a certain wisdom in him. It had been his wisdom which intrigued her in the first place - not just the mere human shell he was wrapped in and presented in this world. His looks were a bonus.

And she writes a heartfelt note for the boys who had given her the desire to begin writing again:

Liebe Jungen, wünsche ich Ihnen meine ganze Liebe von diesem Teil der Welt. Ich hoffe, dass wir uns eines Tages treffen und dass wir große Freunde werden können. Fürs Erste kann ich Ihnen meine einfache Freundschaft nur anbieten. Mit meinem ganzem Herzen und Seele gebe ich Ihnen meinen Segen in der Musik. Liebe, Rachel.

It said:
Dear boys, I wish you all my love from this part of the world. I hope that we will meet someday, and that we can become great friends. For now, I can only offer you my simple friendship. With all my heart and soul, I give you my blessings in music. Love, Rachel.

Dilemma Solved...

The ugly duckling headed home to wait for the robin to fetch her to go out. All through the afternoon her mind is swimming with plans - backup plans lest things go wrong. In the evening,the ugly duckling arrived home with the cygnet feeling tired after having a full day out in the scorching afternoon heat. Still the ugly duckling felt restless - she hasn't done her chores and she also wanted to clean the car which was badly in need of washing.

Suddenly, her mobile rang. She couldn't answer the phone on the first ring. On the second time her mobile rang, she picked it up. The golden child was on the line. Regarding the matriarch's ticket and arrangement.Apparently,there would be a slight change of plans. The golden child says she will pick up the ticket since she will be out foraging for nectar and dewdrops for supper.

The ugly duckling feels lucky that things ended happy. Grandma won't have to stay at the ugly duckling's place because Papa Bear will send her to the airport. All's well with everything, and the ugly duckling and the cygnet had a restful evening...

THE END...

Homesick Part 2...

Homesick...Cont.-

As she stepped out of the car,the ugly duckling hoped that the ticketing counter would be open today. The security guard greeted her as she walked up the steps, assuring her that the counters are already open. With confident strides she entered the building. A pretty good feeling washed over her as she stepped into the empty foyer. The ugly duckling was called to the counter straightaway. To her luck, she managed to get the plane ticket for grandma to fly back to the land of Home-Sweet-Home!

It's going to be a great day ahead, the ugly duckling said to herself as she drove home. She texted the golden child informing the success in obtaining a ticket for the matriarch and received a reply. The golden child is busy today taking care of the naughty little pixies in her nursery and would need the ticket to be sent to the Far-Off Palace. The ugly duckling is now stuck in a dilemma. She is now at Grandma Badger Hen's place where she needs to drive Grandpa Badger to get a spare part for his grasscutter. The ugly duckling has plans with her friend the robin to go out for lunch and to fetch the cygnet before going to the vet's for medication and food for the kittens at home. Slightly close to the evening, the robin and the ugly duckling wanted to go grocery shopping for food supplies at the nearby market.

And so the ugly duckling sighed and sighed...

Homesick

Homesick... Grandma's feeling homesick now. She wants to go home tomorrow if possible. Her "golden child" couldn't get her plane ticket for her to go home because she hasn't got the time. It is up to "the ugly duckling" to make arrangements for the ticket. Since grandma is faraway in the Far-Off palace, the ugly duckling doesn't know how grandma feels about going home a day later than planned. And so, the ugly duckling set off with her sister the cygnet and her friend the robin to settle the matriarch's transportation home on the morrow's journey.

When the three of them arrived in town,the ugly duckling went to the counter only to be disappointed. The counters had to shut down because their computer system is down and it had affected every other purchasing booths as well. With another plan in mind,the ugly duckling and her group went home. Another disappointment greeted the ugly duckling when she tried to book a ticket online for grandma - it is not possible for her to book tickets which is not within 48 hours!

She sighed. The ugly duckling had finished all her resources on trying to book a ticket for grandma. She thinks hard. Finally, she only has one option left,and that is to make another trip into town and try to book a ticket for grandma to fly on Thursday since it is less than 24 hours till Wednesday. If the computer system is still down the next morning, the only option she could use is to get grandma a flight ticket on Friday morning...

What will happen next? Will the ugly duckling be able to purchase a ticket to fly on Thursday? Or will grandma be forced to take the morning flight on Friday?...
