Once Upon a Time… The adventures of Ali Kahn Jaku and other stories.

Original Post August 16th 2010

Oh hello you are back and you brought a little friend with you.  You want a story you say one for the little one with you. It would be my pleasure.  This story is called “The candy apple tree.”

Once upon a time, in a place very far way but very near, in a time long ago but so close, there was a little girl named Badoo and she loved candy apples more than anything else.

One day her father brought some home as a treat and as they eat them she asked “Where do candy apples come from?” and the parents thought they would be funny so they said “Well little Badoo, the come from the candy apple tree, where else?” and they told her of a field where the the candy apple tree grows, trying not to laugh as she listened in wonderment.

Later that night she went to her room and laid on her bed with her teddy bear and daydreamed of this tree so big with all the candied fruit so perfect hanging from the branches.  The more she thought about it the more she could see it and she could even recognize the field.  It wasn’t so far away and as a bonus she didn’t even have to cross the street to get there as the path was right in her back yard.

She looked at her teddy and said “I am going to find that tree and bring enough candy apples back so everyone can have one.  We will have a grand candy apple party. Won’t that be wonderful.” With that she fell off to sleep and dreamed of the tree and dance with her little teddy around it.

When the morning came she got up, washed her self, brushed her teeth, grabbed her teddy bear, her backpack to stuff with the candy apples, and went down stairs.  Her mother was in the kitchen and her father was having breakfast “What are you going to do today little Badoo?” the father asked.  ”I am going to find that candy apple tree and we can have a big candy apple party!”  The parents laughed and the mother said “Would you like some sandwiches for your trip?”  Little Badoo said “Oh yes that would be nice.”  and the mother made her two peanut butter sandwiches and put them in her backpack with a juice box.  The father got up from his chair and said “Well I am off to work you have fun finding that tree, kissed her on the head and went on his way.  Little Badoo grabbed her backpack and her Teddy and told her mom that she was off.  ”Bring back a lot of candy apples!  Have fun, but don’t leave the yard.” the mother said “No problem.” Badoo thought to herself as she ran out the back door.

She went into the yard and looked around.  ”Now where is that path?” she thought to herself.  Just then she saw a little bunny.  A little white bunny near the bushes at the far end of the yard.  She walked over to where the bunny was and noticed as she got closer that around the bunnies mouth was red candy stuck to it fir.  The bunny licked its lips as she approached.  ”That must be the path to the candy apple tree.” she said to her teddy.  With a very determined look on her face as girls get sometimes she said “Let’s go get those candy apples!” to her little teddy bear that hung in her arms.

Well the bunny was so busy licking it’s mouth that it didn’t even notice as she ran over.  While she ran her mother looked out the window and saw her playing with her little back pack. “Oh to be young again” she thought.

When the little girl came to the bunny she stopped and “Hey Badoo, is this the way to the candy apple tree?”  Now the bunny was kind of shocked by the question but if she knew about the tree she must have been alright and the bunny replied “Oh yes, all the candy apples you care to eat and more!”  ”Oh goodness.” she said to her teddy.  The bunny looked to her and said “I am going there now, would you like me to show you the way?” and little Badoo said “That would be very nice, thank you kind bunny.” and with that the bunny crawled into the bushes with little Badoo right behind.

When they came to the other side of the the bush, that lucky for little Badoo was still within the fenced yard, she saw it, just as she had imagined, the candy apple tree.  The branches hanging very low with very ripe delicious candy apples hanging down and ready to be picked.  The bunny and little Badoo with teddy in arms walked to the tree.  She reached up and picked one of the candy apples looked at it and handed it to the bunny.  ”This is for you little bunny.” and laid it down next to him.  ”Thank you.” he said.

Then she opened her backpack, took out the sandwiches and her juice box and said to her teddy “We should eat lunch first before we have candy apples because candy apples are for dessert. That is what mommy and daddy always say.”  So they sat under the tree, little Badoo and teddy, and eat their sandwiches and drank her juice box while the bunny munched on his candy apple.  The sun shined down and it was a grand picnic indeed.

When little Badoo finished she picked up the wrappers the sandwiches where in and the empty juice box and put them in a pocket of her backpack.  She didn’t want to spoil such a beautiful place like where the candy apple tree grew.  When she was done she reached up and started to pick the fruit from the tree and put it in her backpack.  Candy apple after candy apple she stuffed in her backpack until it was full as birds sang from the branches.

When she was done and her backpack was full she looked at the tree and it looked she had not even taken one.  While little Badoo admired the tree with that little bunny at her feet and her teddy in her arms her mother who had been in the kitchen making dinner looked out the window again and could not see little Badoo anywhere. She ran to the yard and called “Little Badoo where are you?”

Little badoo heard her mother call and said to the bunny “Thank you for showing me the way to this wonderful tree, but my mother is calling and I have to go.”  The bunny said “It was my pleasure and thank you for the candy apple it was delicious.” and they said their goodbyes.  Little Badoo made her way back through the bushes and said “I am right here mommy.” and ran to her mother with the backpack and teddy in tow. The mother picked her up and gave her a kiss and said “What where you doing in the bushes?” and with that little Badoo’s father came home and into the yard “There you are, what is all the excitement about about out here?” he said as he kissed little Badoo on the forehead head and then his wife with a smile.

With that little Badoo put down her teddy took off the backpack and said “We are going to have a candy apple party and it is for you!” and with that she opened her backpack displaying all the candy apples she had picked all perfect and ripe.  The parents stared at the backpack and said “Where did you get these from?” and little Badoo said “From the candy apple tree where else. It was there just like you said. Come on it is right over here!” and she took their hands and lead then through the bushes and to their wonderment there it was.  The candy apple tree.

They slowly walked over to it hand in hand, the parents silent from shock, sat under the and had the best candy apple party ever.

The End

The moral of the story is “Sometimes what you are looking for is in your own backyard.”

Did you like that one?  Hey why are you going into the bushes?  Hey kid the tree is over the other way.  Kids, huh?

Hey kid your back. Little Badoo’s dad came over and told me she was looking for you. Yeah hey is a nice guy. What’s that a story about love lost? Again? A sickness that over comes the earth. Yeah I know what you said, but what you meant was you want a story that will scar the shit out of you.

Oh have I got one for you. This is the story of Jack Opportunity oddly enough called: A day in the life.

Once upon a time their was this demon from hell and he served on the army of dooms as adjacent to Satan. Well after the war had ended he found himself out of a job. During his time with Satan he was able to “acquire” enough to purchase a used car lot which he convert some of the space into a car museum. He called it Mr. Opportunity’s Auto Showcase and Emporium and he set up oddly on Route 66 Mile Six. Ironic ain’t it?

Well Mr. Opportunity had a unique issue in his life that if he didn’t get enough love he would freak and turn into a monster. What did he look like. Go to the link I posted above. He looks like a character from Death Notes if Ramus was John Lovett when he was calm.

Well Jack was sitting behind his desk one day and this little girl and her father came in to look for a present for mommy for her birthday. Jack had advertised that he had any car they could want on stock and had a picture of Big Daddy Don Garlits nitro burning funny car on sale for only 1500.00 USD cash.

When Jack saw them he almost jumped out of his chair “Ohhh, lunch just walked in” he thought as dollar signs popped in his head. Jack quickly picked up a phone and started pretending to talk on it very loudly. “We shipped the order of fifty brand new Cadillacs over this morning… What that they just arrived…. Your driving one now? How do you… Oh I have to go a customer just walked in. Talk to you..” and he dropped the phone and beelined over to Little Badoo and pulled a lollypop from his jacket and said “Is the lady looking for a car today?” And smiled a big smile. Daddy smiled and Badoo Said “Actually we want to see this race car” and she pointed to the ad “and we are looking for a gift for my mommy.” and with that Jack hopped over to Daddy and said “Well we have a wide assortment of cars to chose from what can I show you first.” And with that daddy said “Well I would really like to see Big Daddy’s car. Then we can talk about something else. I know my wife would kill me if I bought it but I would love to see it.” And with that Jack said “Ohhh. We just sold that like a twenty minutes ago, I have the paper work right here.” and shuffled some papers on his desk.

“So what kind of car can we get the little lady?” And with that he shuffled them both out the door with arms around both’s shoulders. Daddy looked at Jack trying to keep his balanced and said “Well something economical, it is just an around town car.” And Jack stopped and put his hand on his chin and a little more wicked grin came to his chin “Right this way have I got a number for you” as as they turned there was a huge Hummer, black with leather interior just maxed out. And Badoo looked at it and her eye’s got very big “Mommy would love this car!” she said and Daddy took a breath and said “I really don’t think this is what we are looking for. Do you have something smaller?” And Jack just grabbed his and and drug him over to the car. And a little bead of sweat dropped down Jacks forehead.

Jack pointed out all the safety features on the car when asked about the price Jack would quickly jump on the car and distract the conversation “Look at this interior, can you put a price on this kind of luxury? You know the leather from the cows to make these seats all committed suicide so that makes it PETA approved.” and he smiled and gave a wink. Badoo ran over and jumped all overt the car. Honking the horn, which scared her a little and she started to cry. “This car is a poop.” and Daddy said “Now Badoo remember what we said about bad language.” and Jack replied “Do you want to take it out for a test drive?” And Daddy replied “Ah, it is a little to large. Do you have anything that has better mileage?” And Jack replied “This car has a 90 gallon tank. You know what that means. Right? Hmmm?” And Daddy replied “Yeah 90 gallons of gas.”

So Jack pointed behind them and said “What about this beauty?” and when Badoo and Daddy turned around they saw the Batmobile. In mint condition. Flames shot out of the back of the car as they both looked at each. “Well this is a nice car, but I really think something maybe not so fancy.” and with that Jack grabbed his hand and dragged both to the vehicle. “Just look at these features, Batarang Launcher, Smoke Screen, there is room to add a missile launcher in the front. I think I still have one in stock, just don’t tell anyone where you got it.” and Badoo said “Missle Launcher!” with very big eyes. And Jack said “listen to the kid Daddy, this is the car for you.” and Daddy walked over to the car and stroked the paint. With that a little more sweat rolled down Jack Opportunity’s head and his wiped his lip.

Badoo jumped in the front seat as Daddy looked in his wallet shuffling some bills “How much is it?” Jack replied “Don’t worry about that we have a contract to fit every need.” and he farted a small puff of smoke, “Oh excuse me.” Jack said with a giggle. Just then Little Badoo hit a button on the steering wheel and a cargo net shot into the sky and landed on all three and with that Little Badoo said “This car is poopy!” and crawled out from underneath as Jack scrambled over to Daddy “Look at these added features, sign the contract. It is no money down and we give you a watch.” and with that Jack rolled up his sleeve and showed Daddy his watch “You like it? You buy this car and it is yours. Hmmm?” And Daddy said “I don’t know I don’t need all these features. Do you have something a little more sense-able?” And Jack started to tremble. The sweat was now rolling and you could see his vains through his skin. A dark black vain, up and down his neck and he breathed deep breaths counting to three very slowly backwards Jack thrust the contract forward “Sign it!” And Daddy stood back with a bit of shock. This was not right.

Just then Little Badoo said “What about this one daddy and in the distance was a black 1951 Buick Roadmaster Ragtop and Little Badoo ran over to it and jumped in the front seat and honked the horn. Oh this car is not poopy at all Mommy would like it a lot.” Jack ran over and put his arm around Daddy and rushed him to an awaiting Badoo, “Look at this little beauty Daddy-O, this ride is super sweet. I got it from the women in that song, you know I for get the title she was this sweet little old lady and she lived near L.A. somewhere, that is not important. What is important is that we get your wife that car today.” With that Daddy said “I don’t know, it is nice, do you have the CarFax on it?” and with that Jacks teeth came out and he screamed “SIGN THE CONTRACT OR I WILL EAT YOUR SOUL!” and Little Badoo screamed in horror! And Daddy screamed in horror! Daddy picked her up and started run little Badoo freaking out with Jack in tow drool slithering from his frothing mouth. Sharp nails extending from each finger that came to a razor point. With determination in his eye he howled “I get you 3% financing for 5 years! Sign the contract!” And fire shot from the ground around him as raised the contract to the sky and howled viscously at the moon that had just exposed itself from behind some clouds. Jack Opportunity wanted that sale.

Daddy ran out to the back of the lot and looked around it was mountains of crushed cars forming a maze around him and he was lost. Badoo screamed as Jack howled a screeching howl from what seemed to be only one row away. Daddy fell to his knees and said “Badoo you have to do exactly as I tell you. Do you understand?” and Badoo said “What do you want me to do Daddy?” shaking with fear. As she said that Jack popped his head around the corner and said in his full true form “Come on let’s make a deal!” and balloons dropped from the sky. Daddy and Badoo looked at each other him holding her in his arms and screamed in each others faces. “Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

They ran and ran but it felt like there feet where stuck in mud. Jack walked slowly towards them teeth snarling, nails sharp, the smell of brimstone was in the air. Jack made his way up to them and got very close to their faces and as he breathed it was almost as you could see steam rise from his trembling jaw. “Sign it!” and Daddy looked at Jack and said “No.” and Jack said “What?” and Daddy said “Come on Badoo this is salesman is a joke let’s go home and check out the classifieds.” And Jack dropped his shoulders and became the same old Jack they had met when they first came in “Really?” Jack said. And Daddy said “I don’t know who taught you salesmanship but they where surely lacking in the courtesy department.” and they turned and walked away.

Jack watched as his “sale” walked towards their car with a contract hanging in his hand thinking to himself “Well you can’t win them all.” Just then another car drove up and two hippies got out. Jack ran over to them as he thought to him self “Ah, lunch is here.” and pretended to wave to Daddy and Badoo as they left “Enjoy the new car folks.” walked over to the hippies and said “Another happy customer, what can I get you into?” And the hippies said “We read in the classifieds that you where buying used souls?” and Jack said “Oh yeah come back to the office. You no I can’t really give you to much for it as the soul market is in glut right now. It is a buyers market you know.” And walked the hippies back to office.

So what did you think kid? A little anti-climatic? Well the problem was I already used the “saved by a dream” bit in the last story. And that is usually what happens when you go to a used car lot. Really they are all thieves. No I will not take that back. He kid your too young to drive anyway what do you care? Your cousin is a car dealer? Well that is your problem isn’t it. You better hide your cookies when they come to visit or he’ll steal them. Really you ask? No not really. I am joking. I just did feel very vampire/werewolf today. What’s that I owe you a story? Fine I will go with that. You have to admit it would make a good Vehix commercial though? You too huh? Hey kid where you going? To look up Big Daddy Don Garlit on the Internet to find out who he is? Good for you kid. See you soon. Kid’s huh?

Hey kid your back, why the scared look on your face? Well why did you ask for a scary story then? Oh you want a nice one. O.K. well let me think? Hmmm, oh I remember one about little Badoo that is very nice. It is called Anniversary Pancakes.

Once upon a time there was this little girl named little Badoo and she noticed that her mommy and daddy where kissing a little more than usual, so she asked them “Why are you being so kissy today?” and her daddy looked at her and said “Well Badoo, tomorrow is the day that your mommy and I got married and it reminds us of how lucky we are that we found each other.” Badoo looked at them and said ” I am glad you found each other too you make a very nice couple.” and she set off to her room

She sat on her bed and picked up her teddy and said “We really should do something special for mommy and daddy tomorrow.” She picked her teddy up to her ear and said “Whats that? Make them breakfast? That is a wonderful idea!” So all the day she walked around the house with a little grin on her face, it was to be a surprise. Her mother and father asked her “What is so funny little girl?” and all she replied was “It is a secret, right teddy.” The father looked at the teddy and said “Come on teddy clue me in.” And Badoo shock the teddies head no and ran off with a giggle. Mother looked at father and said “That girl is up to something.” and then kissed him on the cheek.

All day little Badoo asked her mother and father all kinds of questions making sure she asked an array of questions to not let on what she really wanted to know. “So daddy when you met mommy what did you have for breakfast that day?” and “So mommy when you and daddy went on your first date what did you have for breakfast.” She would then walk over to her daddy and say “Daddy after you and mommy got married what did you wear and what did you have for breakfast?” then back to her mother and ask “So what do you like for breakfast?” Well the answer overwhelmingly was Pancakes.

So little Badoo decided to make the best pancakes they ever had for breakfast for them for their special day to celebrate their love.

When night fell little Badoo was so excited about her surprise she could barely sleep, when she fell asleep she dreamed that her and teddy where master chefs and making pancakes of all different types until the morning came. Then at the crack of dawn she awoke and looked at her teddy and said “Let’s get to work.” and they scampered off to the kitchen. She made sure not to wake her parents who seemed to be very happy even when they where sleeping and mommy had on a her best sleeping cloths for some reason.

Well little Badoo went and got out her easy bake oven and plugged it in to the wall socket in the kitchen on the floor next to the table. She went to the cabinet and pulled out her mothers cook book as she was not use to making pancakes she knew the recipes was in there. She flipped through the pages until she came to a picture of pancakes. “There they are teddy. That is what we are making.” She then got a bowl and a spoon, some eggs and milk from the refrigerator and a box from the cabinet that had a picture of a women smiling holding pancakes.

She mixed all the ingredients together and looked at it and then to her teddy. “Well we have the mix but this must be special pancakes for today.” She lifted her teddy to her ear and said “Yes some berries would be nice and make these more special.” So she went to the refrigerator and grabbed some blueberries and strawberries from the draw and threw them in the mix with a splash. She mixed it up and then looked at her teddy and said “These are special pancakes, but we want them to be as special as mommy and daddy what else could make these as special as today?” She held her teddy to her ear again and said “Oh yes mommy and daddy do love chocolate! That is a wonderful idea.” and she ran into the living room and in a dish on a end table was a bowl of M&M’s, so she grabbed a handful for the mix and a few for herself, making special pancakes takes a lot of energy she thought and she ran back to the bowl of mix. She threw them in and stirred the mix.

She looked at the mix and thought “This looks good let see what come out. Mommy likes fruit and daddy likes chocolate, you know teddy I think is going to be the best anniversary breakfast they ever had.” So she got out her little pans and started to bake them, one pancake at a time. She looked at the clock and saw that it was getting close to the time her parents would be getting up. So she put her teddy in a chair at the table and ran and got some dishes and silverware and set the table in between making pancakes. She set the table with wine glasses for milk, the best china mommy had and cloth napkins reserved for only the most special of days. The very last thing she put on the table was a candle, but she did not light it as she knew that she could get burned.

Well after she made the last pancake she could and all the batter was gone she quickly cleaned up the best she could and walked to her mother and fathers room with teddy in tow and she jumped right in the middle of the two of them waking them. “Badoo what are you doing here?” said daddy. “I have a very special surprise for you!” She exclaimed as she jumped up and down no the bed with her little bear. Come on!” and she grabbed their hands and dragged them to the kitchen.

Both her mother and father stood at the door and looked at the beautiful table. “Is this for us?” her mommy said and Badoo replied “They are anniversary pancakes! I made them for you to celebrate your special day.” Mommy got a tear in her eye and daddy hugged her and said “Oh they look wonderful.” and they sat down Badoo pushing their chairs in as they sat.

At first Mommy and Daddy where a little nervous to eat the pancakes as this was the first meal Badoo ever made for them but they both held their breath and took a bite. Daddy looked at Badoo and said “Are there M&M’s in here?” and Badoo said “I know you love them.” and mommy said “Is there my favorite berries in here?” and Badoo said “I know you love them.” and both mommy and daddy looked at each other and said almost in unison “These are really good. Thank you Badoo. What a wonderful gift.” As daddy eat the pancakes he said “Badoo are you going to join…” and he had noticed that she had fallen asleep on the floor with her teddy under her little head, she was so tired from her good deed. Mommy whispered “We really are blessed.” and daddy agreed. And they eat every pancake on the dish, mommy joked “I really have to get the recipe for these they really are great.”

And it was the start to the best anniversary they could remember.

The End.

Well kid what is wrong? You crying? Oh you have some dirt in your eye. Well why don’t you go wipe your eyes and lets go get some breakfast, you up for it? IHOP does sound good right now.

Shock the Karma.

Hey kid your back. How is it going. What is that your mother is mad at me for teaching you so many curse words. Sorry about that, I do have to say I am a bit surprised you still live with your mother though, what are you like 22? Oh 21. Well I am sorry then, I will try to watch my language, but you know what they say… Morning Star is a bad mother… Shut my mouth? Hey I am just talking about Morning Star. What is that? It is an Issac Hayes joke. Come on kid you have to learn your music history.

Anyway what can I do for you? A story for the little ones. Well I know of a great story about a little one, sometimes the smaller they are the more helpful they can be, if you recognize the potential. This is called The Inch Worm and the Carpenter. Soooo…

Once upon a time there was a carpenter named Pete and he was contracted to build a huge castle for the Princess Bayramaa. It was to be as beautiful as she was, which was a pretty tall order as she was know to be the most beautiful thing ever created through out time.

When he arrived on the location, he was given the plans by the architect and went to start on the construction when he realized that he had forgotten his measuring tape.

Now this was a pretty big problem as the measurements had to be exact and he wanted to make a the castle perfect, as it could mean a lot of business for him in the future. Not knowing what to do he search all around for something to measure the planks for cutting but could find nothing.

While he was doing this an inch worm called by and said “What are you doing?” and the carpenter did not give the worm even a look with a “Get out of here kid, I am busy. I have to build this something but I have lost a very important tool.” The inch worm replied “What is that?” and the carpenter said “My measuring tape. Without it I can’t get these measurements right.”

The inch worm looked at the plans and looked back at the carpenter and said “I think I can help you.” to which the carpenter replied “Yeah what are you going to do to help. You are so small.” The inch worm laughed a little and said “Well you know I am exactly one inch long. I could walk along your board twelve steps and that would be a foot.”

The carpenter almost yelled at the little worm and then thought “Hey that is not a bad idea.” So the carpenter put his hand down and lifted the little worm to the board and the little worm said “Now I need you to help me count as I am not very good at math.”

So the little worm took a step and the carpenter said “One” and then the worm took another and the carpenter said “Two” on and on with more excitement with each step. “Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve!” The little worm stopped and the carpenter marked the stop on the board and then helped the little worm to the ground then proceeded to cut the board.

While the carpenter looked at the foot long board the inch worm started to walk away to which the carpenter said “Hey thank  you for the help, I couldn’t of started on this project with out you.” To which the inch worm replied “Hey I am just being me.”

The End.

So what did you think? What is that? What if the measurement called for metric? Well then I guess they would have used a centipede. Get it? No, well then why did you ask? You just wanted to see if I knew what metric was. Well let me ask you a question? Do you know where the door is you wisenheimer? What is a wisenheimer?

Kids huh?

Hey kid, your back. How are you doing? Your heads is reeling with all the love that is whispered in your ears from the angels on your shoulders. That is nice. It reminds me of a story. You have time? Oh good. Sooo…

Once upon a time in the little town of Pisa on the planet of Amor in the Allatah system, Ali Kahn Jaku was working in his nip fields. His head was in the clouds as that long and passionate kiss he shared with Allah Belle replayed over and over in his mind as he did his chores.

His day went quickly as Allah Belle’s face and the beauty that seamed to follow where ever she went was all he could think about, in the very best way. A night of music and new love blossoming. It was as Ali Kahn Jaku thought to himself “She is why Jah gave us this gift of life. It is a very fine day, indeed.” as he pick a wild flower and smelled it’s sweet aroma.

Ali Kahn finished his chores in the field and went back to where he hung his hat and sat down at the table with a cup of coffee, some toast with jam, and gazed into the sky out of his window. Tomi cat walked up to him and put his head in Ali Kahn’s lap, Ali Kahn scratched Tomi’s head and said “You know what Tommi? She is very special that Allah Belle. I have never felt this way before. It is different than the things I felt before.” Tomi juxtaposition to receive the scratching where he itched and licked Ali Kahn’s hand.

Ali Kahn Looked at Tomi cat licking his hand and said “You are kissing me like I kissed Allah Belle, I love you too.” and with that he wrestled his friend to the ground and they played a little game of “Catch me if you can.” laughing all the way.

Finally Ali Kahn Jaku noticed that the day had passed enough that it would be appropriate to see if Allah Belle was awake and possibly wanted to go for a snack or just let him stare in her eyes, but he would say a snack the staring in her eyes was his secret plan.

Ali Kahn Jaku took Tomi cat by the face putting his nose close to his life long friend and said “Tomi, she is a special one indeed and I want to do something to let her know I am special too. What do you think I do?” With that Tomi let out a grumbly purr and Ali Kahn replied “That is a good idea, we should go visit Belle and find out what she likes so we can surprise her with the most beautiful things that shows who I am, then maybe we can have 1000 nights like last night… or more. I would like more than a 1000, I better go talk to Belle, she will know she is very wise in affairs of the heart.”

Ali Kahn took a dip in the lovium pool and cleaned the mornings chores from his body as Tomi splashed at the waves he made. Then he put on his Kiltish, sandals, and sash and went to visit the one he had grow up with, but now was so much wiser then him as it seemed she had lived for many more years but never aged a day.

When he a Tomi arrived they found Belle and Sheba in the yard having tea and enjoying the day. “Ali Kahn! come join me.” Belle said as Tomi and Sheba went of to play their kitty games as kitties are known to do. “What brings you you here my favorite man?” She said. Ali Kahn Jaku sat with Belle and she poured him some tea. He sipped his tea then paused, Belle looked at him and said “This is about Allah Belle isn’t it?” Ali Kahn blushed a bit and replied “Oh yes, she is so.. what is the word.. Allah Belle. She is so appropriate in every way and I would like her to know that I would like to see her everyday and in the night as well.”

Belle smiled and said “So why don’t you tell her that?” Ali Kahn replied “She might think I am silly id I tell her how I feel. I want her to think of me not just as silly, but… like.. well..” Belle stopped him and gave him a little kiss on the cheek “You are not silly, it is nice you are thinking of her and how to make her happy and not just of yourself. That is a very special trait Ali Kahn Jaku.”

They sat and talk of many ideas and some very silly schemes that made them both laugh, “I could put roses peddles at her door that spelled out ‘Hello Allah Belle’ but then if the wind blew she might that her rose exploded and that might make sad.” Belle agreed that was not the best idea.

After many silly ideas and many good thoughts, with not one inappropriate comment, Ali Kahn said “Maybe you where right the first time, I should just spend some time with her and tell her how I feel.” Belle chimed in quickly “But don’t gush over her, you might scare her away, girls like a little mystery.” and Ali Kahn replied “In the most appropriate way.” And Belle said “Yes, in the most appropriate way.”

So it was decided Ali Kahn Jaku would go to contact Allah Belle and see if she was available to take a walk to the Lovium Pond and maybe a little picnic where they could let the day go by. So he went on his way to her house, but left Tomi cat behind as he and Sheba could not be found as they had run off to play, and Tomi cat was old enough to find his on way back home. He was a big cat and he loved his time with that fair black cat named Sheba.

Now what Ali Kahn did not know was Allah Belle was thinking the same of him all the day. Thoughts of the kiss that lasted until morning filled her head as she slowly touched her lips and daydreams of a castle in the sky entered as her pony Appaloosa carried her to her prince, Ali Kahn Jaku. As she daydreamed of her prince

Ali Kahn walked to her home and thought “I hope I can remember all the things I want to say, but as Belle said I do not want to scare her away. So maybe instead of saying it I can show her.” So he got a pen and wrote on his hand all the things he wanted to say. Then when he showed up the only words from his mouth would be “Hello Allah Belle.” and then extend his hand to show her is little art piece created from his thoughts of her.

When he arrived at her door he was met by Appaloosa with a whinny and a candy apple in his mouth. Ali Kahn petted his head and said “No thank you, is Allah Belle in?” and Appaloosa looked at him as he did not speak any language but horse, but did follow Ali Kahn to Belle’s door.

Ali Kahn Jaku knocked on the door and waited looking at his hand as to not forget the plan, just say “Hello Allah Belle” and then a wave of his hand.

The door opened and Allah Belle’s eyes lit up when she saw him. “Ali Kahn Jaku, I was just thinking about you.” Ali Kahn Jaku blushed a little and smiled then said “Thank you Allah Belle.” Allah Belle continued “So what can I do for you?”

Ali Kahn Jaku’s plan of a simple hello was foiled so he thought quickly and said “Well, I was wondering if you could help me out. I seem to have something on my hand I was wondering if you had ever seen anything like this before.” Allah Belle extended her hand and said “Let me see Ali Kahn, did you get a splitter?” and with that Ali Kahn Jaku extended his hand to Allah Belle and she saw the most lovely site indeed that put a smile on her face, in the most appropriate way.

She looked up at Ali Kahn Jaku and he looked at her and said “So what do you think?” and she said “Oh Ali Kahn Jaku, you are the most wonderful thing I have ever met.” Then gave him a big hug and while she hugged him she whispered in his ear “I think I feel the same way.” and kissed him on his cheek. A favor that he returned in kind.

She took him by his hand all full of love and they walked to the Lovium pond hand in hand and had another day of loving conversation where they told each other of their favorite memories. As the Jah set behind the Lovium Pond and the day came to another perfect end in the little town of Pisa on the planet of Amor in the Allatah system Ali Kahn Jaku said “Allah Belle can I tell you a secret?” to which Allah Belle nodded her head yes and Ali Kahn Jaku bent over and whispered in her ear “I want to kiss you.” And with that Allah Belle put her lips to his and they locked in a gentle embraces as Jah set slowly in the background until Jah was out of site.

The wind blew through the trees and the branches swayed to the beat of love that was in bloom. It was a fine day indeed.

So what did you think kid? Do I think there is someone out there like Allah Belle for you? Well kid there is only one Allah Belle but you never know maybe you will find your Betty or Wilma. What is that? Yes, yes, Yabba Dabba Doo, indeed. Quite.

Kid’s huh?

Shock the Karma

Hey Kid what is up? You went to a friends party and met someone? What about the one you where seeing, that you where so in love with last week? Oh yes I understand, there are many loves in a persons life, that is true, but when you find the one, that special one there is no drug or feeling that can compare. Sooo….

Once upon a time on in the little town of Pisa on the Planet of Amor a party had just ended and a new day had arrived. A day that seemed to bring warmth and love to all. It was a special day as on Amor all days are special.

When Allah Belle woke that day she could not stop thinking about Ali Kahn Jaku. That boy that was so unique and had the abilty to stop a crowd by just showing up. As was proven at her party. Where did he come from. She never heard his name in her life, but then out of the blue from no where there he was standing in the crowd.

A dance, a walk, and a little kiss on the cheeck. What a perfect way to enter womemhood. She wanted to she him again, and she was a women now, as for the reason for the party last night, so she was allowed. So Allah Belle went into town to see if anyone knew who he was. New people are more than rare, Allah Belle had never met a new person before. She had met everyone in the Allahtah System from every planet. It intrguied her very much.

When Ali Kahn Jaku woke that day he could not stop thinking about Allah Belle. That girl that was so unique and so beautiful on the inside as well as the out. Well Ali Kahn had never felt this way before. It was as he would say “A very good feeling that makes me smile. I feel very good indeed. Thank you Jah for such a wonderful night and a day to remember it.” Ali Kahn Jaku looked at his Tomi cat and said “Tomi, let’s not waste the day and go into town and have some breakfast.” So Tomi and Ali Kahn Jaku walked from his hobble down the street and into town.

Allah Belle went into town and passed the statue in the town square and looked at it as if she was seeing it for the first time. The one riding that horse was the boy she was looking for. “Was it all a dream?” she thought when from out of the Cracked Pot Tea House came Ali Kahn Jaku and Tomi cat.

“Hello Allah Belle.” Ali Kahn said. “That was a wonderful party last night. Thank you for sharing the evening with me. Can I and Tomi escort you somewhere?” Belle smiled and said “Well I was actually coming into town to see if I could find out more about you.” Belle looked at the statue and asked “Does that person on the statue look just like you? It is not me right?”

Ali Kahn Jaku looked at the statue and replied “Oh that was a long time ago, let’s talk about today. It is a beautiful day and I am planning on cleaning my shop a little, it seems to have gotten a little dusty, but I would love to see you later if your free.” Belle said “I would like that. What do you have in mind.”

Ali Kahn looked around the town and thought what to do tonight? “The Hell Dome, no. Night drinking in Valhalla, no. Oh, I know.” and Ali Kahn smiled a very purposely innocent smile obviously as to not show his excitement. He said, “here is a concert tonight in the park that I am sure will be quite a delight to the ears. It is classical, I don’t know if you are fond of that, but King Conner would play it all the time when I was young, and I kind of like it myself. They are very good, the orchrastar, they even have a cannon they fire in some parts. Very exciting. Then maybe we could get some coffee or tea afterwards. Does that sound nice?” Belle said “Yes, very nice. Could I meet you back here before the show, I have some errounds to run.” And Ali Kahn Jaku smiled an extra big smile and said “It would be my pleasure.” and gave a little bow. Belle smiled and returned a slight curtsy. It was quite appropriate.

Well all that day both Ali Kahn and Allah Belle could not stop thinking about the night to come. Belle visited Venus house and asked what seemd to be an never ending amount of questions about the young man’s history she was to see again. She sat with her mouth open most of the time. She couldn’t believe that the boy that she was so found of was the same one that, well quite frankly, she thought Ali Kah Jaku was just a legend.

Allah Belle listened to every word that Venus spoke and understood the words that where not.

Meanwhile Ali Kahn Jaku was in his shop cleaning and putting things away and it seemed almost everyone was coming by. And they all had one question “Is it really you?” To which Ali Kahn Jaku replied “Yes, it is me.” Finally Sir Steel came to visit with quite a smile on his face and with a big hug Ali Kahn greeted him with a “I am very mad at you.” and a very stern look. Yoshimi bowed his head waiting for the worst as the last time he saw Ali Kahn prior to last night… Well it made him sudder to think about it. Before Yaoshimi could answer Mika came in with a small dish of chocolate and set it on the counter next where Ali Kahn Jaku was cleaning. Ali Kahn Jaku said “Hello Mika, who are you?” Mika looked at Yoshimi and then Ali Kahn and said “I am actually doing better than I thought I would today. So do you want to go to the lake, with me later?” inquiziatively

Ali Kahn Jaku smiled “Oh that sounds nice, but tonight I have plans with the new girl in town.” Yoshimi and Mika couldn’t hold back the laughter not at Ali Kahn Jaku, but the innocentce of it all. Yoshimi stopped laughing and said “Ali Kahn you said you where mad at me? What for?” to which Ali Kahn Jaku said “Why didn’t you tell me there was a new person in town, where did she come from? Who is she? I like her very much. I thought you where King? Don’t they tell you things like that?” Yoshimi relaxed and then said “Is there anything else you want to talk about? I am here for you.” Mika chimed in as well “Ali Kahn if there is anything you want to talk about we will understand.”

Ali Kahn Jaku thought to himself and said “Yes there is.” Mika and Yoshimi held their breath, this was surely going to hurt them as they did to their friend so many years ago. Ali Kahn got a stern look on his face and said “Why did you not tell me about that party last night. I was the only one with out a costume. But I did get to meet Allah Belle, did I tell you we are going out together tonight. I am very excited.”

This time Mika spoke “Ali Kahn are you sure you don’t have anything to say to us? We are here for you. Ali Kahn….” and Mika fell to his knees and started. Ali Kahn sat down next to him waved Yoshimi to come over and said with a very serious look on his face “Yoshimi, Mika, I am not going to talk about something that happened so long ago. I would rather talk about that girl. She is beautiful. Why would I want to talk about something so ugly as what happened so many days ago when I can talk about beauty today and tomorrow. Let’s drop that issue. Got it!” And Ali Kahn Jaku ran his finger slowly down a long scar on his chest from the top of his left shoulder to his middle right side.

Yoshimi and Mika where shocked. This was not the old Ali Kahn Jaku they remembered, but it was. Seem fun “boy” yet now a “man”. Ali Kahn Jaku stood up and said “So what do you know about here. Why is here name Allah Belle? Where is she from?” and what seemd to be a never ending amount of questions about the young woman’s history. Yoshimi and Mika told Ali Kahn Jaku all about Allah Belle and with each word Ali Kahn Jaku’s scar seemed to fade away until it was unnoticable.

All talked about each other using the most wonderful words they could think of to describe each other. Words like “Wonderful”, “Awesome”, “Beuatiful”, and “Handsome” thrown around in a never ending stream of statements that seemed to turn into glorious proses.

As Jah slowly drifted behind the horizon and day was turning into night, the two, Allah Belle and Ali Kahn Jaku, Met at the statue as planned. Both looked very nice, very appropriate for a concert in the park.

As they walked Allah Belle she swung her hands by her side no and agian letting her right touch his left. “A hint” she thought and Ali Kahn Jaku said “Why are you bumping into me.” Allah Belle blsuhed a little and Ali Kahn Jaku laughed and continued “Well let’s just solve that problem.” and extended his hand and Allah Belle placed her in his, a pause, a smile from each, as they stared into each others eyes and conitnued down the path to where they could hear the band warming up.

They came to the park and the banner at the gate said “One Night Only – Billy Shears and The Lonely Hearts Club Band” They where quite good, it was to be a wonderful show. Allah Belle and Ali Kahn walked to a open spot next to many friends that where around. Kahti was there with her friends and sitting just in front. She turned and said “Ali Kahn, how are you? I want to talk to you about some personal things when you get a chance.” Ali Kahn Jaku replied of “Oh Kahti, if you do not know me by now, you will never know me. What could be more important then this concert? Let us just enjoy. Have you met Allah Belle? She is new to the community.” Kahti bowed her head and said “Yes Ali Kahn, we have met.”

Allah Belle blushed alittle and looked into the sky as Ali Kahn Jaku un-rolled a blanket for them to sit on. She was not acpecting to get such attention, she knew she was special as all where, but this one. The one that rides the horse to his love in homage on the statue, this was not overwhelming but quite wonderful. As she stared into the sky Ali Kahn Jaku looked and said “My I help the lady to her seat.” extened his hand and they sat on the blanket just as the concert started, almost as if it was planned.

The music filed the air with sounds of sweet harmony and lyrics that spun a tales of love to the tunes. Note a sour note was played, well except when th did the “Sour Notes” and that made all laugh quite loud.

During the concert the band was playing a super sappy song of love and all where enthralled Ali Kahn Jaku looked at Allah Belle and said “Would you like to dance?” Allah Belle took his hand, they stood, as the music played the lyrics painted the scene “Ohhh how could I dance with another, when I saw her standing there!” And they did hold each other tight and they did dance through out the night.

As the concert ended many invited the young couple to visit for something to eat or just to chat, but Ali Kahn Jaku would not listen to a words they where saying, he had a plan, a plan to get to know this little Allah Belle better. In the most appropriate way.

They walked hand in hand through the town not stopping but for a coffee and tart, and then seemed to find themself at the field where Ali Kahn Jaku’s old tomb was. Allah Belle looked at it then at Ali Kahn Jaku and said “Why did you come back?” not how did you come back, but why. Ali Kahn Jaku took both her hands in his and said “I came back for you.” and kissed her on the mouth with a soft kiss that seemed to stoip time and their souls intertwined into a cloud of mist created by the love that they shared. A love for life, a love of Jah that brought the two together. It was a most unperfect plan done in the name of Jah, but it had worked out wonderfully in the end, even with the heart ache that melted away with just the tender kiss of a beautiful women to the recieving lips of a handsome man.

When the two young lovers lips parted they had noticed that Jah was rising in the sky. A single kiss that lasted the entire night. Just one kiss that started the greatest love story ever told.

The End.

So what did you think kid? You hope the one you met last night is your Allah Belle. Well maybe you shoudl treat her with special respect, you know so the real you. What if she thinks you are wuss and a joke, then it is her loss. Seriously girls are always reading romance novels but then when someone offers them that they run.

Shock the Karma

Hey kid. How you doing. What is that you want to hear a story. What will it be, pirate attacks and war? No, you want a break from that. OK. So what will it be, the complete opposite of silly pirates and war. Oh, I have just the story for you.

Once upon a time, there was a prince that lived in a castle on a cloud, cloud 7 to be exact. He had all he could ever want, fine clothing, fine food, and good friends. What he didn’t have was some special in his life to share his love. A love that was big and good.

One day a women came to visit. She was very beautiful and caught the princes eye. He walked over and introduced himself. “Hello, I am the prince of cloud 7, can I show you around?” The women told the prince that she was a princess visiting from cloud 3 and that she would appreciate an escort for the day. The princess extended her hand and the prince took it in his and they walked along.

The prince showed all that made the cloud so wonderful. It was as beautiful as her home she thought, not the same but beautiful. Exotic birds that where not so exotic to him and rare fruits for the picking that where not so rare for him, but new to the princess.

After the day started to come to an end, the princess informed the prince that she had to be returning to her cloud so he took her hand and gave it a gentle kiss. “Thank you for the most wonderful day lady princess.” he said with a bow. She replied “It was my honor, sir prince.” and returned the bow with a curtsy.

Again time went on and the prince did not see the princess but thought of her often and that day they shared and the princess thought of the prince and and those days they shared.

Then one day the prince received message that the princess had invited him to visit cloud 3, to return the favor for being such a gracious host.

The prince took no hesitation and accepted the invitation. When he arrived on cloud 3 he was met by the princess who took his hand and showed him all the wonderment of her home. It was as beautiful as his home, not the same but beautiful. Exotic birds that where not so exotic to her and rare fruits for the picking that where not so rare for her, but new to the prince.

After the day started to come to an end the prince informed the princess that he had to be returning to his cloud, so she took his hand and gave it a gentle kiss. “Thank you for the most wonderful day sir prince.” she said with a curtsy. He replied “It was my honor, lady princess.” and returned the curtsy with a bow.

Again time went on and the princess did not see the prince but thought of her often and that day they shared and the prince thought of the princess and and those days they shared.

Then one day the princess received an invitation to be the best man at a friends wedding. It was to be on cloud 5. He quickly accepted as wedding are always fun. Celebrations of love are always grand affairs indeed, large elaborate weddings, little country wedding, any celebration of love is a wonderful thing.

The day of the wedding the prince stood next to his friend, the groom, as the ceremony started. First the bridesmaids walked down the aisle and to the princes surprise their she was, the bridesmaid that entered last was the princess he shared such special times with. Their eyes met as the wedding march started and the bride, all dressed in white, walked down the aisle.

Today was the brides day and she stood as the most beautiful in the room that day, but the prince could not help but hold a special favoritism for the bridesmaid.

Today was the grooms day and he stood as the most handsome in the room that day, but the princess could not help but hold a special favoritism for the best man.

Through out the ceremony the prince and princess could not take their eyes off each other as the words spoken of love seemed so appropriate for all.

At the reception, the traditions went on, a toast, a dance, garters removed and shot into the air with men jumping out of the way, as always is the joke, which oddly landed on the princes shoulder as he so deeply staring into the princesses eyes, and was met with a laugh.

Then the party. The sound of music and glasses clinking together demanding for kisses for the newlyweds. As the festivities went off without a hitch the prince walked over to the princess and said “May I have this dance?” The princess said “I was wondering when you where going to ask.” took his hand and they danced through the night a slow waltz that seemed to lift their feet from the cloud into the air.

All around the festivities continued, men carried the groom around in a chair and danced, big cigars where lit, laughter, the wine flowed, and the excitement of two families coming together in the union of love filled the room.

As the night came to an end the bride threw the bouquet in the air, over her shoulder and right into the hands of the princess, who was not even paying attention really as she was staring so intently into the princes eyes. It was a pleasant surprise that that was met with a smile and a laugh.

As the celebration ended the princess leaned forward and kissed the prince on the lips and the prince kissed her back. A long slow gentle never-ending kiss that was he start of the greatest love affair on any cloud near or far.

The prince and princess where soon married after that night and moved into a new castle together on cloud 9 where they still live to this day.

It is said that if you look at the sky, and think of your true love, you will be able to see the two lovers kissing in the clouds.

The end.

So what did you think kid. What are you looking at? In the air. Oh yeah that does look like them. Wow, you spotted them right off. You must have someone pretty special in your life, good for you kid.

Kids huh?

Shock the Karma

Hey kid you back. So what can I do for you today. A story? You really have a one track mind. Alright what will it be. What is that a story of spring? Well, your timing is perfect. Spring is in the air and it is a time of rebirth. So…

Once upon a time in the Allatah System on the Planet of Amor, in the little town of Pisa, the town was getting ready for a very special day that was getting very close. It was a party to introduce Allah Belle to the world in her first year as an adult. She had grown into a fine women, confident, smart, and oh so beautiful. The entire community was so happy that she had become everything that not only they had hoped, but also what Allah Belle wanted for herself.

It was decided that the party would be that of fancy costume as Allah Belle was quite the romantic. All prepared for the event and Loki had sold out of every costume he had. It was going to be a grand old time in Pisa tonight.

As they worked clouds started to form in the sky, which was unusual as storms where very rare. Belle was hanging lanterns with Lala and Toomas when they noticed them clumping in the distance. “I hope the party will not be ruined.” Lala said as they looked in the sky.

The clouds rolled over the Lovium pond where the shrine of a now very dried out and withered Ali Kahn Jaku laid on a slab.

The towns people and all the guests for Allah Belles party, that had come from all of the planets around the Allatah system, watched the clouds not realizing where the exact location was, but they didn’t seem to be coming towards the grounds where they where setting up, so all went back to work. When all of a sudden “POW!” a lightening bolt shot from the clouds and struck the tomb of Ali Kahn Jaku.

The towns people froze in their tracks, hunching down a little and looked back at the clouds, which seemed to disperse as fast as they came. “Well that seems to be over.” said Belle, and they went back to work preparing for the celebration. It was all about Allah Belle.

Meanwhile at the shrine of Ali Kahn Jaku, the lighting that had struck the structure was racing through every piece of steel, then seemed to focus and funnel all it’s energy right down to the center of the wrinkled dried up mummified body of Ali Kahn Jaku.

As the last of the electricity drained from the metal in the structure and came to rest in Ali Kahn Jaku, there was a strange silence, then with a jolt the mummified body of Ali Kahn Jaku sat up and roared “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” and fell off the table and started to instinctively crawling back to his home. Slowly standing, he walked dragging his feet slowly one after the other grunting and groaning the whole way.

What was once Ali Kahn Jaku, now the corpse of Ali Kahn Jaku moved closer to town and to the up coming festivities. Almost all had gone home except a few, Ali Kahn Jaku shuffled his shriveled feet past Loki who looked at him with a squint saying “Hey did you get that costume at my shop? I don’t recognize it.” To which Ali Kahn replied “Waaaaaaaaaterrrrrrr.”

Loki looked and said “What?” The dried up Ali Kahn again said “Waaaaaaaaterrrrrrrr.” To which Loki replied “Wow you are really getting into this. It is going to be fun. So who is in there?” and pulled at Ali Kahn’s face trying to remove what he thought was a mask. Ali Kahn let out a loud scream when Loki pinched him “AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!” and Loki backed up “Ouch, what a grouch.” and left.

Ali Kahn Jaku moved slowly closer to his old home and dragged past Sir Steels Mill. Sir Steel saw the mummified Ali Kahn Jaku and looked in disgust. He thought it was costume as well. “What are you dressed as!” He demanded to which Ali Kahn growled “Waaaaaaaaterrrrrrrrr!” Sir Steel became infuriated “Look I don’t know what you think you are doing, but dressing as Ali Kahn’s corpes is incredibly bad taste. Now go home and change into something appropriate for the party.” And that made Ali Kahn Jaku pause and say “Waaaaaterrr… Paaaaartyyyyy? Yeahhhhhhhhh.” and Ali Kahn Jaku moved as fast as he could to his home which was still very slow in his current state.

When he finally arrived at his old hobble, he walked to his lovium tub in the yard and sank in the water slowly. And like a Magic Capsule Ali Kahn Jaku started to regain his old shape and the boy he once was, could now be recognized.

Ali Kahn Jaku had returned.

Ali Kahn Jaku looked at the sky and said “It is a nice night for a party.” When his Tomi cat walked by. Tomi cat had never left Ali Kahn Jaku’s home and for years had just wandered the grounds looking for his old friend. Ali Kahn saw Tomi cat and said “Hello Tomi cat, are you going to the party tonight?” Tomi looked at the tub where Ali Kahn sat and without hesitation jumped in with his old friend and started to lick his face feverishly. Ali Kahn laughed “Oh Tomi cat you act like I am big Gremlin pie. What has gotten into you, come on we have a party to get ready for.” Ali Kahn Jaku got out of the tub renewed and alive, he walked to his hobble with the Tomi cat circling his legs the whole way.

Back at the party the guest where starting to arrive. They all looked so grand in their fancy dress, all pomp and circumstance, the grand affair of Allah Belle’s introduction into adulthood was upon them. The lanterns lit the night and the statues of the citizen lead the way with their lovium torches that seemed to burn extra bright that night.

Meanwhile Belle, Suki, Heather, Lala, and all the girls where preparing the beautiful Allah Belle for her introduction. Allah Belle looked radiant with flowers in her long blond hair and simple yet very elegant gown that was woven from the finest thread that Lily had in her shop. After many hours of giggling and laughing the women put the last piece of her costume on, a pair of wings and stood back to admire their work. Allah Belle was the perfect angel and seemed to glow with a light that calmed the room.

After they finished patting each other on the back for their exquisite work, they walked to the door where Appaloosa was waiting. Allah Belle petted his mane and climbed on his back, she loved that pony, and they all walked into town.

As they arrived it seemed the entire town was already there and they stood in stunned silence as Allah Belle was carried to the center of them all and then dismounted to a “Hooray!” and the party started. Trumps blasted and festivities erupted.

What the party guests did not know was Ali Kahn Jaku was close behind and since all focus was on the beautiful Allah Belle, no one even noticed him. Ali Kahn Jaku wore his favorite outfit, just a tunic with his sandals. He walked up next to Luci, who was standing next to Yoshimi at the buffet table and said “What a wonderful party? Who is it for?” Luci and Yoshimi did not take their eyes off Allah Belle and Luci and Yoshimi didn’t even answer. So Ali Kahn followed their eyes and saw her, he froze and then said “Who is she? She is pretty.” Yoshimi muttered without looking at Ali Kahn Jaku “Stop fooling around, it is Allah Belle.”

Then Belle took center stage and announced “Now it is time for Allah Belle’s first dance into womanhood, Allah Belle which lucky man will escort you tonight?” All the men stood up straight and stuck their chest far out like peacocks on parade,as all wanted the honor of the first dance. Allah Belle smiled, looked around the room and pointed to the unnoticed Ali Kahn Jaku and said “Him.” The crowd turned to see how she had picked.

The audience looked at Ali Kahn Jaku and for what seemed like 2000 years of time stood still, it was Ali Kahn Jaku.

Kahti, who was at the punch bowl fainted as the rest of the crowd gasped. Yoshimi let out a huge roar and flew backwards and Luci kind of peed himself a little. Mika dropped a tray of chocolate and Belle fell to her knees with her jaw dropped open.

Ali Kahn looked around at everyone and said “This is a funny party.” Allah Belle did not understand what all the commotion was about and walked to Ali Kahn Jaku and took his hand and said “I think this is your dance, boy.” Ali Kahn took her hand and they both walked to the center of the dance floor to stunned silence. Was this one of Loki’s unfunny jokes? No it couldn’t be Loki was by the cookies. It was him, Ali Kahn Jaku.

As Allah Belle and Ali Kahn arrived at center stage Kahti regained her composure and walked to the couple and said “Ali Kahn Jaku?” with a puzzled look on her face, Ali Kahn replied “Yes, Kahti.” Kahti looked at the crowd and then back and said “This is Allah Belle.” and backed away slowly.

The music started and Ali Kahn and Allah Belle floated around the dance floor as the truly fantastic had happened. Not only had Jah given them the gift of this beautiful new women, he returned their Ali Kahn Jaku.

The audience started to applause and cheer which turned into jubilation and Ali Kahn looked at Allah Belle and said “Wow they really like you.” and the crowd rushed in and grabbed there old friend and met him with as much love as they could give without squeezing the life out of him… Again.

The party last the entire night and Ali Kahn and Allah Belle hit is off marvelously. Old friends reconnected and many tears of joy were shed. It was truly a day of celebration, all where back and none where lost. Mistakes made faded from their minds and jubilation took over the night.

When the party was over Ali Kahn Jaku escorted Allah Belle home. When they reached her door she turned to him. He looked at her and she looked at him, then she moved closer and kissed him on the cheek, Ali Kahn blushed, looked at her and said “Today is a good day indeed.”

The Allatah system was whole again and Jah smiled down on them from the sky above.

The End.

So what did you think kid? What, no Ali Kahn Jaku is not a zombie. He was just dehydrated. What? Does he eat brains nows? What! No, but I believe he still enjoys a good gremlin pie on occasion though. Seriously kid, sometimes I don’t know where you come up with that stuff.

Kids huh?

Shock the Karma

Hey kid your back. What is going on? You want to hear a story? Well sure, what would you like to hear? A pirate story. Well those are fun. Well here is the story of the most dreaded pirate that ever walked the streets of the most famous pirate port in the United States. Soooo….

Once upon a time there was this dasterly bloodthursty Pirate named Black-Jack Richman. He was know for this as he would haunt the streets of Lousianne’s alley’s and when unsuspecting approach he would jump out and do the unthinkable. An act so heinous and unthinkable that it makes me shudder to just think about it.

What he would do is corner people and demand they turn over all their money or chew a piece of “Black Jack” gum and if that was not bad enough, he would make you swallow it. And you know what they say, gum will sit in your stomach for years, so every time his victims would burp, it tasted like Black Jack gum.

Oh the horror of it all the shear horror as Black Jack gum was the most despised of all the chewable gummy confections, the closest thing I can think of that is similar is a disgusting… BLACK JELLY BEAN!

One day the crew of the Eeck dock in town with a load of banana’s and choconut’s to trade beads and trinkets that had been left over behind from the recent Fat Tuesday festival. As Spinny thought that they could make a good deal and then next Fat Tuesday they could have enough beads to possibly achieve their dream. That being to see a girls boobies.

The Eeck docked in New Orleans on a very calm and balmy night as was per usual for the town with so much history and they unloaded their cargo. Spinny yelled “Arrrg you swabs, let’s pick up the pace as after we make this delivery the weekend is ours!” The crew cheered and little Disco just sat on his shoulder eating banana.

After they finally finished unloading the cargo they made their way to their destination, Brennan’s, a little fine food establishment that is one of the cornerstones of the New Orleans culinary stops which is home of the Banana Foster, the crew traded their cargo for beads and trinkets and went on their way.

But they made a wrong turn down an alley as they had one to many hurricanes at the local taverns along the way. Drunk and laughing the crew found them self at a dead end when they heard a voice “Your booty, or a fate worse than death!” Spinny turned and saw the dreaded pirate Black-Richman who was holding a stick of that dreaded gum in his hand and waving in a quite disturbing fashion. Cooter looked at his rear end and said “You want my booty? I am not really into that, but thank you for the compliment.”

This infuriated the Black-Jack and he scream “NO YOU DOLTS! HAD OVER THE BOOTY!” And Spinny looked at him and said “When you say booty are you talking about the shoes we had when we where babes? I don’t think anyone has there Booties with them, they wouldn’t fit anyway. Hey do you know where we could go to hear some jazz.”

Black-Jack replied “Well actually you can go to almost any bar and hear some really great…. HEY WAIT A MINUTE! What kinds of pirates are you, that you don’t know what booty is? Who is your captain? I will force him to eat the first stick of this awful gum. Your gonna get it now.” and started to unwrap a stick of the gum. The smell of black liquorish wafted into the air.

The crew of the Eeck looked at little Disco and all said “He is.” pointing to the monkey. To which little Disco jumped over to Black-Jack Richman and took the stick of gum from his hand shoved it into Black-Jacks own mouth and when he did Black-Jack gasped and gurgled “Uhhgg! That is disgusting!” And spit it to the ground. Then he brushed little disco off his shoulder and demanded “GIVE ME THE BEADS AND TRINKETS OR IT IS THE STICK FOR YOU ALL! AND THEN YOU WILL SWALLOW IT!”

The entire crew took a step back and winced a bit Spinny slowly stepped up and said “If we give you the beads, we won’t get to see any boobies and we really had our hearts set on some boobies. I personally have on seen the top half of a boobies once and that was my sister, so I don’t really like to think about that.” All agreed that Spinny’s sister had some very nice boobies, but they were hoping for an assortment of boobies. Some just kept saying boobies over and over to themselves.

Black-Jack got infuriated and screamed “Then it is the stick for all of you!” and pulled out of his pocket pack after pack of gum then he moved to the group wielding several sticks in a circle “Now you are all going to get it!” and as he walked he was not paying attention and stepped on the piece of chewed gum that he had spit out earlier and it stuck to the bottom of his boot.

“Ohhh man, this is not my day.” Black-Jack said as he tried to scrape the sticky piece of goo off the bottom of his shoe. Spinny spoke as little Disco sat on his shoulder picking at his hair and grooming him. “I heard you can get that out if you use some cooking oil.” Then Cooter spoke “Put your boot in the freezer and then crack the gum off. I hate getting gum on my shoe. Can we go now?”

Black-Jack Richman fell to his knees in sheer anguish and shouted to the sky a mighty roar, and as he did little Disco jumped over to him and stuck another piece of gum in his mouth which choke Black-Jack a bit.

Black-Jack sighed a huge sigh and said “I quit! I should have gone into insurance like my mother wanted. This is not worth it. Just leave me alone to wallow in my shame.” and hung his head.

Then Cooter picked up a piece of the gum and sniffed it and slowly put it towards his mouth which caused Spinny to scream “Oh sick man that was on the ground! Don’t put that in your mouth.” But Cooter didn’t listen and shoved the piece of gum in his pie hole and chewed it.

“Hey this this isn’t bad at all, it taste like a black jelly bean. I like black jelly beans.” and Black-Jack Richman looked up with tears in his eyes and said “Well you are the only one.” And Cooter looked around and said “Would you be interested in trading some gum for some beads? I will give you three strands for each pack.”

Black-Jack’s eyes lit up “Really! That would be wonderful then I could see some boobies too.”

They traded the beads for the gum and all together walked down the street and to many bars and had many drinks over the night. It was a good night for many boobies where exposed. Oddly though Spinny won the award for best set.

Black-Jack was never the same as he realized that even though it may appear everyone hates your product if you look hard enough you will find an audience.

So what did you think kid? Kid… Kid… What did you think? Stop saying boobies. Come on kid. What did you think of the story. Boobies? Kid you’ve got a one track mind.

Kids huh?

Shock the Karma

Hey kid, your back. What can I do for you? A story about love, from the Allatah system. Well kid for that we have to go many years into the future after, that fateful day when they made that horrible mistake. So…

Once upon a time in the Allatah System on any planet in any city the days where dark and the nights where full of sorrow as thousands of years had past since the execution on Ali Kahn Jaku. All that lived felt the pain that was caused. It was not a time of joy. It was a time of reminders.

The statue that stood in the town square in Pisa, of that man riding a horse to his love, had now become soiled and dingy as no one could look at it with out shedding a tear. It was not a good time for any. It was a period of what seemed to be a never ending mourning, as no one could let go of what they had done.

Even Belle seemed to have lost her shine and love for life as she missed her “brother” so much. As for the council that ordered Ali Kahn Jaku’s death, “just to see what would happened”, had been punished by the entire system, a self-imposed punishment.

Yoshimi who was once the King, had been forced into the swamps of Raku to hide his shame, Kahti was sent to work in the lab as an assistant, as she had lost her position of power, Luci’s dome had seem almost no business, and for Mika, there was no chocolate sales. It was not a good idea what they did and all felt the pain.

Then one day Venus asked Belle to visit and celebrate her late “brother” anniversary, so to speak, and just sit with her as on this day as Belle needed special attention. It was never a celebration but they tried.

Belle arrived on Amor. She took a pedicab to Venus’s place and knocked. When the door was open she saw the home was full of lit candles, Venus looked at the sad girl and said “Thank you for coming.” to which Belle almost collapsed in her arms and they both wept.

As the night went on they swapped stories of the young Man that they loved so and they laughed until they cried again. They tried to smile and keep a brave face but it was hard even after 2000 years and on the Allatah system, a year is 2702 days long. It was a very long 2000 years indeed.

As the night went on friends dropped by even Mika, he was not the same either. Love was lost, and there is no pain like that of love lost. Conner and Bhee Jhee came as did so many until the night was over.

After the guest left Venus said “Why don’t you rest. I have your room ready.” Belle looked at the floor and replied “Actually I think I would like to walk into town and just reflect a little, maybe just be alone.” Venus nodded and Belle left with a tear in her eye.

She walk aimlessly around the town during the twilight before dawn and then without realizing it she found herself at the statue of that boy she loved so much. She looked up and looked as that boy riding that steed with such passion towards his love, with that stupid torch in his hand that lit the way to his love. She looked up and then fell to her knees with a “Why! Why did they take you from me.” and then she looked into the sky where the torch of pointed and quietly said to her self “Oh Jah, I miss him so.” and with that her prayer was disturbed by the sound of a ponies whiny.

Belle looked around to she what had made that noise, she got up, and slowly walked around the statue slowly. Then saw a young black and white spotted pony laying on the ground, as new born ponies do before they can walk. Belle walked to it and said “Oh little one, are you lost?” Then she heard another sound. One she had never heard before, it was a little gurgle and a laugh. Belle looked behind the pony and there lay a beautiful, perfect, glowing, baby.

Belle’s jaw dropped open as Jah slowly rose in the distance. She looked in amazement staring at this tiny creatures face. Blond hair, one blue eye and one green, a little smile that melted her heart and just perfect smooth ivory skin. She picked up the child and it cooed as she did, then the little pony that was next to them stood.

Belle tried to refrain from breaking down in tears and emotion as she unwrapped this “present” that had been left and saw it was a little girl. Belle’s heart grew full of something she had not felt for a very long time, it was the love she had lost. This present was like a little dew drop full of love that filled that hole she had in her heart.

Belle ran back to town with the new little one in her arms back to Venus’s home. It was very early still and the town was quite, sleeping as they could. She walked to Venus’s room knocked on the door, Venus woke and said “Belle? Are you alright?” Belle walked slowly over to her and said “I want to introduce you to someone.” Venus’s eye opened wide and the new baby laughed. Venus stopped stunned and said “Is that what I think it is?” Belle replied “Yes.” Venus fell back and said “Thank you, oh dear Jah thank you.” and shook as she rose again.

Venus got up and Belle laid the child on the bed. Such a happy little thing. So small and perfect. So beautiful. And she did something she had not done in years, Venus smiled.

Belle also introduced Venus to the little ones friend, a pony that was nibbling on the grass in the yard. Stunned and dazed Venus said “I am going to make some coffee.” Then looked back at the glowing Belle and said “Is this a dream?” Belle just shook her head, no.

They sat at the table drinking coffee and feeding the baby with a cloth that had been dipped in milk and said almost nothing, but laughed as many times as the new addition smiled. Finally the baby fell into a light sleep and they both just watched her as she slept. Venus looked at Belle and said quietly, as to not wake the baby, “Do you think it is Ali…” Belle cut her off “Does it matter really? She is her and that is what does. Let’s us not question this gift.” and Venus agreed.

Then Venus got a big smile on her face and said “I can’t wait to tell everyone the good news. Let’s go into town and announce this for everyone to know, we must start to live again as we did as this is surely a sign that Jah has forgiven us for what we have done.”

Belle, Venus, the little baby went into town and the little pony followed. The town was just awakening and setting up for the day. As the three walked by the shops the towns people saw them and came out one at a time, they walked over to Belle who was carrying the child and said things like “Is that what I think it is?” and “It is a miracle.” Some just came out and wept when they saw that little prefect baby face. Which seemed to make the pony shuffle in the background with delight.

When they finally arrived at the town hall news of the new arrival had spread like a wild fire in high winds. The entire town was there trying to get a glimpse of the new addition. Then after the reality set in that it was true, a hush came over all and a sigh of relief. A gasp of air and a tear. The room was silent for what seemed to be a very long time, when Belle finally spoke. She held the child to the sky and said “It is a girl!” and the crowd went mad with excitement. Cheers and hoots, hoorays and yelps of joy filled the room.

“We must tell the others.” said Venus. Belle backed away from Venus and said “Do you think we should, we do not want a repeat of… well you know. Maybe we should keep this one a secret.” The room grew silent again as Belle could have been right.

As they sat in silence Jah continued to rise in the sky and as it did a ray off light shined down on the child. Venus looked at up and said “We should have some faith that what has happened will never happen again.” This was a hard thing to do, as when Ali Kahn Jaku had been executed some of the planets became closed off, not hostile, but unwelcome as they had learned not to trust each other.

Venus called all the leaders of each planet and let them know there was to be an announcement in one hour. A announcement that would change their lives and it was good.

The hour passed and the new baby got so many little kisses from so many that her face was covered with little kissy marks like from your favorite Aunt that wore to much lipstick.

When the hour was up the conference call was started. “What is this emergency Venus?” one of the viewers asked and with that Belle walked into view and showed all the new baby, this perfect little baby, this blessing, this sign that Jah had forgiven. A cheer went out around the Allatah system that seemed to be able to be heard even without any devices.

When the celebration subsided. All paused and in the silence the baby farted, laughter filled the system for the first time in 2000 years. A welcome sound indeed, that little baby fart. Belle placed the baby on a make shift crib and the little ones pony walked over and laid down next to her which made the entire crowd say “Aaaaaah.” all at once except for Loki who waved his hand in front of his face and said “Jeepers, what have you been feeding that kid?” A little chuckle came from the audience and then on to more important matters. A name. What would they name this little dew drop full of love.

All had ideas but it was decide that Belle would chose. Belle looked at the baby, thought of her lost “brother” and friend then looked up. Slowly she said “Her name will be Allah.” The audience lowered their heads in agreement, then Venus said “That is almost perfect.” Belle looked surprised and replied “Almost perfect?” Venus stroked Belles hair back and said “I would like to make the suggestion that we call her, Allah Belle.” and kissed Belle on the cheek. “Allah Belle.” and when she said the name the baby let out a little coo and a giggle. Belle looked at the smiling child and said “So be, you are my little Allah Belle.” Then looked at all and continued “She is our little Allah Belle.” and the party started.

It was huge and every one was invited. All was forgiven as holding grudges for mistakes had only brought darkness to the planets and this new little one seemed to bring the light back which filled their hearts with what they had missed for so long.

Yoshimi was the last to hear the news as he was so far in a self-imposed exile. Suki was the first to find him. Yoshimi saw her coming and screamed “LEAVE!” and Suki just stood not moving an inch. “Did you not hear me, get away from me! Or I will…” Suki cut him off and said “Her name is Allah Belle.” Yoshimi caught his breath “Who’s name is Allah Belle?” and he looked at Suki with confusion as he had never heard that name before. Suki looked at Yoshimi and said “Jah has forgiven us, she has arrived. Her name is Allah Belle.” Yoshimi knew exactly what Suki meant and Yoshimi let out a roar to the skies that seemed to shake the trees and free the birds from their limbs. Then Yoshimi did something that he had never done before, Yoshimi cried. Suki walked over to him and put her arm on his shoulder and said “Let it out.” and sat with the blubbering hulk.

The party lasted 7 days and 7 nights and no expense was spared. All brought their specialty to share with their new little Allah Belle and plenty of sweet hay for her pony.

Luci came over to the little one and quietly whispered in her ear “Thank you little Allah Belle for saving a wretch like me. I swear I will make it my lives work to make sure no one ever hurts you or your little pony.” and Allah Belle rolled over and her lips touched Luci’s face. His first kiss in many years and a smile to his face, which was welcomed like an old friend returning home.”

During the party the pony trotted around the room and caught Mika’s attention. Mika said “I think we forgot someone.” Belle who was close said “Who?” Mika pointed to the pony and said “What about that one. He is a new addition as well. Don’t all new additions need a name?” Belle agreed. The watched as the pony walked over to a table of fruit and picked up a candy apple and started to eat it. “Well he likes candy apples. I remember a name from long ago that seems to fit. I don’t remember where I heard it, but it is Appaloosa. I think it means apple eater.” Belle laughed “Little Allah Belle and Appaloosa, what a fine day it s indeed.”

The party ended and peace came to all the planets in the system.

Over the years Belle would often bring Allah Belle to the statue of that boy on the horse, stare intently, then back to the baby and say “You would of liked this one.”

It was a second chance and one that all would take very seriously, no selfish mistakes would be made again.

The End.

So what did you think kid. Kid, are you alright? Kid? What is that? Well you now what they say, girls love ponies. What is that, you want a pony too? Well I am sure if you ever visit Pisa, little Allah Belle would love to let you take a ride. How’s that? Yeah that was a nice story.

Kids huh?
