Rosebud’s Sash

What better way to start a day than to go looking for your little nymph friend? I called her name a couple of times before the tell-tale sound pointed me in the right direction.

“Giggle!”

Rosebud waved as I approached her perch on a tree. “Look! The fungi is here! Get it? Fun guy? Ha ha!”

“Hey Rosebud! It’s good to see you! Heh heh.”

“I was chasing squirrels! The young one yelling at you is really fast!”

“And really loud. It’s quite the set of lungs on him!”

“Ha ha! Yeah! And the softest of tails, too. It tickles! Are you ready to play?” she asked, but she didn’t wait for an answer before she was gone.

I found her glowing in the sun in one of her favorite places in the yard, the stone circle with petrified wood in it. “You’re looking really light on your toes today!” I commented as she danced about on the ancient log.

“Yeah! I feel really graceful today! Maybe it’ll be enough to get away from you?”

“I doubt that!”

I found her in a lilac bush. “I heard your mom doesn’t like these! I don’t get it,” she said, giving them a sniff.

I shrugged. “I don’t know. I find any flower looks prettier with you beside it!"

She giggled and darted off again.

“Admit it, you just think I’m pretty!” she giggled when I found her again slinking along the ground and peering between some tree trunks.

“I do! Just another piece of natural beauty, but you’re unique because you help me see other bits of beauty all around me.”

“All of nature is beautiful!” she agreed before slipping behind the tree trunk and vanishing.

“I’m really jealous of your ability to move around so easily. Do you think you could teach me?” I asked when I caught up to her in a tree.

“Silly hooman!” she giggled. “My magic is ancient, forged in the days when the sun was still young! Before even Mischief existed! I don’t think you can comprehend what it is that I control!”

I gave her a shrug. “You’re probably right, but I can control you. Isn’t that a feat?”

She peered at me from behind the flowers, waiting for me to continue.

“You know I’ll happily chase you around all day, but I know how to make you stop,” I pointed out with a smirk.

“Oh? And how is that?” she asked, her eyes wide with curiosity about what could possibly make her stop playing her favorite game.

“I have something special for you!”

“Is that so? Then you’d better find me in the Special Place!” she was gone with a giggle on the breeze.

I didn’t need help finding her this time. I knew exactly where to go. Across the yard was the place I caught up to her once before. “Wow! Your bush is really blooming!” I told her as I approached her somehow perched on the thorny branches of the wild roses.

“I gave it a little extra help! I know you like it and it’s special to us! Consider it my gift to you!” she replied.

“I hope mine can compare! Here.” I reached in my pocket and pulled out the sash. “My friend Shadowfun sent me some stuff and in it was some of this material…”

“Ha ha! He gave my sister Cedar some of this!” she laughed as she picked it up from my hand.

“Exactly! I gave it a little something special just for you. Let me help you try it on!”

She crawled into my hand and I helped her do up the clasp.

“A golden rose! It’s beautiful.” she said, cupping the flower in her hands. “Perhaps I’ll ask Cedar to grant Shadowfun a brief reprieve from the mosquitos for his part in this. But I can’t guarantee she’ll listen!” she giggled.

“Well, those poor insects do need to eat.”

“Exactly! And with me in one hand and your phoney thing in the other you can’t swat at them! It’s a good thing I already gave you a gift!” she laughed.

“Hey! No fair! If I’m going to get sucked dry can you at least stand up and show me how the sash fits?”

Covering her laughing mouth she complied and stood up in my palm.

“It’s perfect! I love it!”

“And I thought you couldn’t get any prettier!”

“Everything is prettier when it’s blooming, and now I am!” she pointed out cheerfully before the chatter of magpies in the trees drew her attention. “Oh, I need to go! Did you hear that?” she asked.

I shook my head.

“They said the squirrel is saying that he outran me and I gave up! Set me down in that tree?” she asked.

I complied with a chuckle. “Then you better show that squirrel who he’s dealing with!”

“Bye! Thank you!”

She gave me a wave then leapt out of the tree. The last I saw of her she was running through the dewy grass…

END But why not a few bonus photos?

January Photo Contests!

The Sexy Photo
Ariana in “The Presence of a Queen”

An upcoming character! This photo was honestly just luck. I wanted to take a photo of these awesome shoes and plopped her in a chair on my desk, turned the lights off, and lit it with a light in my hand. I wasn’t shooting for this contest with this photo, I just loved it too much not to use it!

Calendar Dolls
Rosebud in “May: Buzzy Bees”

I clarified with the host that they were okay with a photo taken outside of the current month so long as it hadn’t been posted before and they were! I thought the contest would lack summer shoots and I have a whole shoot with Rosebud that I still haven’t posted… Some day I’ll get around to it.

Out With the Old, In With the New
The Hooded Elf in “The Sharpest Blade”

Another upcoming character! Even though she’s pretty much ready to go she probably won’t make an appearance until summer. I want to travel to take some intro photos for her.

My Doll is a Photographer
Saffee, Evey, Goldie and Rosebud in “Nymph Hunt”

“There! In that tree!” said Saffee as she pointed at the little nymph.

“See? I told you she was real!” proclaimed Goldie, her hand going for the shutter.

“We never doubted you, Goldie. The Clan is aware of the presence of this wild avatar of nature. Few have reported such an intimate encounter like yours.”

“If any of us sounded like we didn’t believe you when you told your tale it’s because of that detail. A hug? From a nymph?” Saffee still didn’t entirely believe it. They were already closer than many who claimed to have seen the nymph.

“A pirate queen never lies,” retorted Goldie as she tightened her cloak around herself. “Well, not to her friends.”

“Do you think she sees us?” asked Evey.

“Uh, I think she’s waving at us…”

“Hiiiiii!” came a tiny voice on the cold wind followed by a melodic giggle.

An added bonus, the photo the ladies captured of the elusive nymph. Yeah, that old camera isn’t much compared to what a modern phone is capable of.

Keep Me Warm
Evey in “Waiting in the Snow”

This photo bombed in voting, but I love it and that’s what’s important. I went out multiple times in the snow and took 150 photos to try and capture some actual snowflakes in the photo and finally got this! Four snowflakes! Considering how hard it was snowing this time it took a surprisingly long time. Poor Evey was starting to accumulate it! A downside of shooting miniatures, I guess. You’re only seeing a couple square feet but if she was full sized there would be a lot more area that flakes could be in.

A sweater, some leggings, boots, and a warm drink in your hand. What more could you need when waiting outside in the winter? Oh, who are we kidding? She’s from the True North Clan of elves! They don’t know the meaning of cold!

That’s it for mini January! Look forward to a fun story starting very soon. Yesterday was a 6 hour shoot and I have 550 photos to pick through. I had a blast! Part 1 maaaaybe tomorrow. Even though I’m still catching up posting things on this site I’m still going to post it here. It isn’t really part of the storyline and it was shot for the mini contest on this site.

Part 1

“We appreciate you helping out with this photo shoot, Glissa,” said Evey.

“No problem! So, like you said, this is unplanned, you two want to just do your thing and you want me to photograph it.”

“Exactly,” agreed Saffee with a nod.

“Then just forget I’m here,” said Glissa, taking a step back and holding up the camera. She turned around to see the loving couple going in for a kiss and snapped the first photo. Glissa smiled, hoping she’d have someone who shared moments like that with her some day.

Evey got up on the chair and took the spotlight for a moment, Glissa getting the shots in.

Something seemed to draw Saffee’s attention in the background.

Saffee walked towards the thing and Glissa continued to photograph.

What the heck is that? Wondered Glissa as she caught a photo of the red creature pushing in a table.

The red creature vanished and Saffee didn’t seem too upset about the situation. Perhaps she had planned for this? Glissa wasn’t sure, but if Saffee wasn’t bothered then neither was she.

Saffee glanced at Evey over her shoulder as she contemplated the contents of the table.

Picking a couple of pies Saffee started back over towards Evey. Glissa continued to keep the silver-haired elf’s attention.

“Saffee?” called out Evey, “do you want a chance in the chair now?”

“Don’t worry, she’s in frame. Just keep looking at me… You’re doing great,” encouraged Glissa, certain she was helping Saffee in her scheme.

Part 2

Saffee brought the two pies together on the side of Evey’s head. Evey squealed in surprise. “Saffeeeee! What is that!?”

Saffee released the tins and they slowly fell off of Evey’s head leaving plenty of cream behind. She only laughed at Evey’s question.

Meanwhile, Saffee was already going to reload.

She returned and mercilessly plastered another on top of Evey’s head and one directly into her face.

“Mmmph!”

“Oh, I got some on my arm!” laughed Saffee with only a slight pause before going back to the table to reload again.

“MMMPH!” exclaimed Evey through the cream coating her face.

This time Saffee returned with a pot of chocolate that she poured out on Evey’s cream covered hair.

“Pah! Really!?” exclaimed Evey.

Once she felt the weight of the pot off of her head Evey wiped some of the cream away from her eyes and mouth. The goop was running down her body towards the collection of pie tins that shared the chair with her.

Saffee came back with another pot of chocolate. “Are you enjoying this?” she asked Evey.

She didn’t really wait for an answer before dumping this pot onto Evey’s chest, some of it flowing into her cleavage and some overflowing down the front of her ruined dress.

“Where is all of this coming from?” demanded Evey.

“Oh come on, don’t act like you don’t know!” laughed Saffee as she poured some more chocolate on Evey’s head, the contents dripping off her head and down her chest and arms.

Once that pot had been emptied Saffee knelt down beside Evey. “Oh my goddess! Look at the state of you!” she laughed while Evey wiped some of the mess off of herself.

Evey looked less than amused.

Part 3

“Okay, this has to be done,” stated Saffee once Evey had her arms down. She leaned over to the table and grabbed another pie before slapping the creamy pie onto Evey’s breast. She couldn’t help but laugh again. She was having a great time!

Evey accepted her fate and sighed. “Is there another one? You’d better do the other side too.”

“You bet there is!” Saffee replied gleefully before going to get it and planting it on Evey’s other breast.

The pie tins stuck there for a moment and Evey looked down at herself. She giggled at the ridiculousness of it all. What had this photoshoot become? Had Saffee planned this from the start? Of course she had! How else would she have all of this stuff ready?

Evey set the tins aside and began again to wipe some of the cream and chocolate from herself. “Surely that’s everything?” she asked.

“Are you having fun?” asked Saffee, who had gone back over to the table.

“Yeah, this is pretty funny. The chocolate is so sticky but the cream is so slippery!” she admitted as she wiped a bit more off of herself.

“Good, because there’s more chocolate over here and I like the contrast between it and your pale skin…” continued Saffee, heavily implying what she wanted to do with it.

“I think I’ve accepted my fate… Can you even make me any dirtier than I already am?” asked Evey, her words tempting fate. “Bring them over. At least they’re warm!”

“Does it taste good too?” asked Saffee.

“It does! You’ll have to lick some off of me later!”

“Good,” replied Saffee before dumping the next pot on the front of Evey’s head so it ran down her face. “And I will certainly take you up on that offer.”

Saffee quickly came back with more.

… And some more.

“Okay, there’s only one more pot…”

“Evey! It won’t stop! It’s a never ending pot of chocolate! Oh my!” laughed Saffee as the brown, sticky liquid poured over Evey. It covered her head, her face, her chest, her lap, and it was flowing over her arms onto the chair and over her dress between her thighs.

Eventually the flow ran over the sides of the chair and started pooling on the floor.

“Okay, it stopped! I think that’s it! What magic was that?” She asked, stepping back to look at her handiwork.

Part 4

Evey wiped the chocolate from her eyes again.

“Let’s not be too hasty,” said Saffee. “There’s two more pies here-”

“No, I think I’ve earned a little fun myself, haven’t I? If that’s all that’s left then I think I’m fair to claim them and get a little revenge. Wouldn’t you agree?” asked Evey, standing up from the chair. The thick, sticky chocolate slowly started to run down her body.

“…I have never wanted to give you a big hug more than I do right now,” added Evey to Saffee as she eyed her up.

“Please don’t,” Saffee begged. “Think of my pink dress!”

“Don’t tell me you planned something like this and then decided to wear something you care about! That won’t work on me!” laughed Evey as she walked beside the chair and gestured to the pool of chocolate and cream that remained in it. “You’re going to sit down in this chair. Since you care so much about your dress, I want you to pull it up.”

“I didn’t plan this! I don’t know what kind of Mischief you used to summon that little imp and bring a table of stuff here, but-” began Saffee before she was cut off by Evey.

“I don’t buy that for a second! Dress. Up!” laughed Evey, not buying a single word of what Saffee was saying.

“Little imp. Hah. I bet you had Veyronna cast an invisibility spell on the table.”

“I swear!” promised Saffee as she lifted the bottom of her dress. “There was this little red imp that pushed the table over here. Glissa, did you see it?”

“I did, but I thought you did that, Saffee! You didn’t seem surprised by it so I didn’t say anything! I thought you did this to have fun with Evey!”

“It wasn’t me!” impressed Saffee as she pulled her dress up to her stomach.

“So Glissa’s in on it? I’ll believe the imp when I see it!” chuckled Evey, convinced she was being had. It was okay, she was having fun and she was about to have even more fun getting Saffee back. “Ultimately it doesn’t matter who set this up. When you were presented with the pies and chocolate you made a choice. Now you get to feel the consequences of your actions. On your sexy butt! Sit in the chair, Saffee!”

Saffee sighed in defeat. Evey was right. She didn’t have to do this. She didn’t know if Evey was lying to her and had set this up to tempt her into doing this or if maybe it was Glissa to see what they’d do. No… Glissa commanded no magic and that little imp who had pushed in the table couldn’t have been real. Maybe it was one of the other members of the Clan? Veyronna seemed to be the most likely. Invisibility, illusion, the pot of chocolate that seemed endless. Was anyone else capable of pulling that off? Honestly, if she ever found out she’d have to thank them. Hitting Evey with the pies and drowning her in chocolate had been amazingly fun and she was looking sweet and sexy. Now it was time to see what that stickiness felt like. She stood in front of the chair and let herself fall back into the brown pool.

“Aaaah! That feels so weird!” she called out as she slowly sank into the thick goo. In shock she squeezed her legs together. She thought it would make the situation somehow better but instead made it worse as the chocolate between her thighs was forced up into her lap.

“Ha ha! That’s more like it! It feels good, doesn’t it? It looks like you have chocolate panties on!”

“Heh heh, it does! And I didn’t get any on my dress!”

“Well, not yet anyways…” replied Evey, suggesting that this was far from over. “You say whatever you want about that little imp. If your dress stains then we get to go out together and shop for a replacement. I really don’t see any downside to-” said Evey with a grin before being interrupted.

“There! There’s the imp! Tell me you don’t see her!”

Part 5

“I- I see her!” explained Evey in disbelief. Maybe Saffee wasn’t behind this after all!

“Glissa! Capture her!” commanded Saffee.

“On it!” replied Glissa, focusing the camera to capture an image of the little imp.

“No, grab her!” clarified Evey.

“Oh! Uh, she’s gone…” observed Glissa.

“Whatever. Someone is messing with us-”

“No kidding! You’re a mess!” laughed Saffee.

“Not as big a mess as you’re about to be! They’ve given me a gift!” laughed Evey, grabbing Saffee’s hand.

“What? No! I don’t know what you’re thinking, but no!” resisted Saffee.

They wrestled in the chair a bit with Evey practically ending up on top of Saffee.

“Oh, this is happening whether you want it to or not…” grinned Evey as she leaned in ominously.

“WAIT!” yelled Saffee. “What if I go peacefully? Will you be nice to me? Nicer, anyways? Ugh. You already got chocolate on my dress.”

Evey looked at her. “You know what? Fine. Since I love you I’ll grant you that. BUT! If you try to escape then I’m going to find a way to cram every inch of you in that pool.”

Saffee laughed. “Understood.” She pulled her chocolate ass out of the sticky goop and made her way over to the magically appearing pool of pudding.

“On your knees,” Evey instructed.

Saffee complied.

“Don’t forget, you said you’d be nice,” cautioned Saffee as she felt the pressure of Evey’s hand on the back of her head increase.

“Just relax and enjoy the experience,” Evey suggested with a smile.

Saffee looked back at the pool of pudding before her and took a deep breath as she prepared to have her face pushed into it. Evey slowly guided Saffee’s head forward but really she was just lining things up. They were having fun and she didn’t want to ruin it by bashing Saffee’s head into the edge of the pool! Once she was sure of the angles she put her whole body into it and pushed Saffee forward with all her might to get as much of her lover’s body into the pudding as possible.

She was pretty sure that she heard Saffee scream as her face went in before it was muffled by the pudding. She didn’t hold her under long before helping her escape the suction of the goo and pulling her back up. Just as she’d hoped, Saffee’s face, hair, and chest were covered in the sweet treat and it slid down her body in globs. Her dress was heavy with it. “Gee, I hope pudding doesn’t stain,” she laughed, feeling far better about her revenge now.

“I- I thought you were going to be nice!” gasped Saffee.

“What do you mean? That was nice! I think we’re almost even, but this chocolate is going to be far harder to clean out of my hair than that pudding. You’re okay though, right? Pretty sure you went in there with an open mouth.”

Saffee laughed. “I’m fine. At least I didn’t force feed you that chocolate! It is good, though… But you’re right, I got your hair pretty good. I’ll help you wash it too. But, why don’t you go get those two pies and maybe you’ll feel better after that? Let me tell you, it’s pretty satisfying to hit someone with those.”

“Okay, I’ll get them,” agreed Evey. She put her weight on Saffee’s shoulder to help herself up…

Part 6

…But instead of getting up Evey threw all of her body behind surprising Saffee and shoving her forward again into the pudding. Saffee shrieked in surprise and resisted, the struggle causing the pool to tip over and the pudding to slop out on the floor.

Evey ground her face into the slimy pudding while Saffee kicked her legs.

Evey pulled her out again and Saffee let out a gasp. Laughing too hard, Evey fell back against the wall. Saffee leaned back to grab the edge of the chair for support but couldn’t find it. She collapsed backwards and spit out pudding and gasped for breath. “Where’s the chair?” she managed before laughing as well.

Once Evey stopped laughing she replied, “I don’t know! I don’t see it! Maybe that imp wasn’t yours the way she’s acting against you! The chair is gone but do you know what stayed?” Evey laughed some more.

“Oh no! My hair!” lamented Saffee. She struggled to get back up, her hair thick with chocolate now.

Saffee stood up and so did Evey. “Okay, now I feel better about my revenge even if I didn’t plan that part. Come here,” said Evey as she gave Saffee a hug. At this point it didn’t matter who was dirtier.

“I’m pretty sure both of our dresses are ruined. Mine is so heavy with pudding I think it’s going to slide right off.”

“I know what you mean,” agreed Evey. “Mine is saturated with chocolate but it’s sticky enough that I don’t think it’s going anywhere! Let me help you with that pudding…” she offered, sliding her hand across Saffee’s exposed chest and doing more to spread it around then actually clean it off.

“Nope. You’re not helping!” chuckled Saffee as she delivered a forceful blow to Evey’s chest that sent her off balance and sprawling onto her back. She landed with a wet splat in the pudding. Much like the chair, the glass pool had vanished as well but left its contents. At this point the ladies were having too much fun to care about where it had gone.

As quick as her attack, Saffee was down on top of Evey, one of her hands pinning hers in the pudding.

“~Ah!” gasped Evey.

Saffee stroked her lover’s face with her other hand before going in for a kiss.

Evey put an arm around her back to pull her closer.

As they lay there the two pools of slimy and sticky goo merged under them. “What just-?” started Evey as she felt it move beneath her.

“Oh, who cares?”

“Good point. Now, what was it you were doing with your dress, my dear?” Evey asked.

Saffee smirked as she lifted herself off of Evey. “I was strongly thinking about taking it off.”

“I do believe you were,” agreed Evey, craning her neck to get a better view.

Saffee slid her dress down over her hips, the cleaner inside of the garment wiping a surprising amount of the accumulated muck off of her. “Is this what you wanted?” asked Saffee as Evey’s eyes looked her up and down. ”Do you like what you see?”

“Whoa. Look at you!” gaped Evey as she took in the view before her.

As much as she enjoyed the contrast of the dirty and clean parts of her view, Evey lifted a hand from the pudding and lobbed a handful of it at Saffee where it splattered onto her fit stomach.

“…Really?” asked Saffee. Apparently this wasn’t over just yet.

Stay tuned for the finale tomorrow!

Part 7

Evey sat up and scooted closer to Saffee through the chocolate. A hand full of pudding added to what was already on her stomach and smeared more onto her hip. “Couldn’t you let at least a little bit of me be clean?” asked Saffee.

“A dirty girl like you? No, I don’t think so,” disagreed Evey.

“In fact, I really liked where things were at before, but now that you’re naked…” Evey grabbed Saffee and pulled her to the side. Saffee tried to counter and stay upright but the combination of Evey’s thigh being in the way and the dress bunched up at her knees prevented her from moving how she wanted and she tripped over Evey’s thigh, once again ending up in the pool of goo.

Saffee sat up and pulled her dress the rest of the way off, tossing it to the side where it landed with a splat. She looked at Evey with a playful smile. “You know what you’ve done, right?”

“What’s that?”

“You’ve upset the balance. We were both dirty. Now you’ve got me naked. You’re not.”

“I don’t know what I can do about that. Like I said, this dress is so sticky it’s practically part of me now.”

“Don’t think I won’t help it!” said Saffee. With her dress gone she had full mobility again and quickly started pawing at Evey and her dress. Very quickly she had the straps off her shoulders and forcefully pulled the sticky garment down Evey’s body.

Seconds later it was off. “Do you like what you see?” asked Evey with a giggle.

Saffee tossed the dress aside. “Very much so,” she said softly as she came to lay with Evey again, her hand caressing her cheek. The two women locked gazes.

“Wow…” gasped Glissa.

“Oh my… Glissa, I’d forgotten you were here. Could you give us some privacy?” asked Evey, smiling at Saffee and maintaining eye contact.

Saffee chuckled and kept her eyes on Evey. “You did a wonderful job, Glissa. We’ll get the pictures from you later…”

“Uh, of course, ladies. My lens is starting to fog up anyways…” Suddenly Glissa was out of her trance and the awkwardness descended. But certainly one more photo for the road wouldn’t hurt…

End Thanks for reading!

[AdamandEmma]

I dont envy the clean up but brilliant pics and story.

Glad you liked it!

Clean up was only about an hour for the counter, props, and helping the ladies get all soaped up. Worth it!

First Time Out

“Hey! What are you doing here?”

“Whoa! You startled me!”

“It’s just me! Ha ha! Why are you so jumpy?” asked the nymph as she climbed out of her hole in the fallen stump. I still maintain that these little nymphs live in deadfall. They’re always in and around it!

“Well, I came out here to look for you, of course. But… This isn’t my parent’s property. I’m a little nervous…”

“Aw! Why? This isn’t the first time we’ve hung out somewhere unfamiliar.”

“No, you’re right, but this is the first time so close to home. That makes it different somehow.”

“I can hide? Just off the trail? If anyone comes they’ll never see me! I’ll just duck down! Ha ha! This stuff tickles!” Rosebud offered.

“That’s sweet of you to offer. Thank you.”

We hung out a little longer but my mind wasn’t in the photos. It was distracted by the what if.

“It’s okay! We’ll try again some other time!” Rosebud said confidently. “Quick, one more! Look at these fungus things!”

How could I say no?

The last pic is wonderful. Nice shot.

Great outdoor photos

[Tsall]

Please tell me that the pics with Rosebud in front of aurora borealis are real and not somehow constructed by layering two pics together.

Anyway, awesome. Seeing aurora borealis is on my wish list too. Just another reason to visit Norway in winter.

[agent0013]

100% real! That night there was news that there was a good chance of spectacular auroras. It’s not unheard of to have them where I live but it is rare to have them this bright and colorful. I went out of town to my parent’s place and my mom joined Rosebud and I in basking in the natural beauty above us.

I do have a few photos of minis using my TV as a backdrop but Rosebud is all about capturing the beauty of nature. She’s always really there in her photos!

A Portal Opens

Part 1

“So we’re decided? Sanctuary? I love it,” finished Saffee with a smile. They’d been struggling to come up with a name for their new home inside the pocket dimension that Sassy had helped create for them. They’d called it ‘Void’ or ‘Portal’, or even the ‘Mischief Hole’ but none of that seemed right. Now, they had a name that represented what this place was for them; a Sanctuary within a hostile place. Saffee thought it felt right and the others agreed.

The gaggle of tiny Mischief Elves came into the common area where the others had been conversing. They looked quite pleased with themselves. “We have an important announcement to make!” Exclaimed Naida . “The portal is complete! Come and see!”

“Already? You guys work fast!” Replied Evey in excitement. The present members of the clan got up and followed the tiny constructs to where their creation awaited.

“Wow! It’s huge!” Exclaimed Glissa, running up for a closer look. “Does it spin? It looks like it spins.”

“Of course!” replied Naida ecstatically. “Let me show you how the controls work!”

Saffee and some of the others went off to learn. Evey stayed back and unclipped Sassy from her hip. “Are you excited, Sassy? We’ll be able to send you home! It’s been so much fun having you here and I’ll be forever grateful for your help in rescuing Saffee. I couldn’t live without her!”

The mention of her name made Saffee look over and smile at Evey, who smiled back.

Sassy had been rather quiet and hadn’t said a word since the announcement. “Well, I’m excited to be back with my other half… It’s weird to be so far from myself! But… Can I ask you a favor?”

“Of course, Sassy! Anything!” replied Evey, happy to give the brave shoe anything she could.

“Well, what if, instead of me going back through the portal to Minx Mansion… My other half came to stay here? I love the mansion and all the minxes but all of you are cool, too! I like the excitement! I want to go on adventures with the True North Clan! Can I stay, Evey? Maybe I can help make a difference here.”

Evey smiled warmly at Sassy. “We’d be honored to have you! You can stay as long as you like! Saffee! Did you hear that? Sassy wants to stay!”

The single shoe nestled into Evey’s hand contently. “You make me so happy! And now, if the minxes miss me I can just pop through the portal and say hi! Oh, this is going to be great! Yay!”

Meanwhile, the explanation of the portal controls was just coming to an end. “And then you push down on the center orb and it activates! Whoosh! Give it a try!” Urged Naida.

Saffee nodded and started pushing buttons, finishing with the orb in the center. Everyone recoiled as the event horizon of the portal burst out towards them before snapping back into the ring.

They all looked on in awe for a moment before Saffee stepped forward and called out, “hello? Minx Mansion?”

Meanwhile… at the Minx Mansion

Something strange is going on at the Dorothy Portal.

Oh boy… that looks HOT!

“Minxes… please gather round. I’ve got something to tell you!”

“Sure thing Sassy!”

“What’s up Grrl???”

“The Mischief Elves at the True North Clan have completed building their portal. Rather than Lefty coming back here to be with me, we’ve decided we want to be together and continue helping Evey and the rest of her Clan in their fight!”

“Hell yeah Sassy!!!”

“Full Sass POWER!!! Haha!”

“Thanks Minxes! We knew you’d understand. I believe the portal is open at the Dorothy Shoes… can we head there now?”

And with that… the gaggle of Minxes headed over to the portal…

HOT Portal!

“Yikes! What’s going on with the Dorothy Portal???

“It looks like it’s on fire! Maybe we should get Mistress Abbey to help?”

“He…bbblo… Min…bbb Man…sssssssnnn???”

“Did you hear that??? I think that was Miss Saffee’s voice!”

“It definitely was Minxes! I don’t know why the portal is so weird, but it is certainly open!”

“It doesn’t feel hot.”

“Ha! How would you know Skelly? You got no skin to feel with!”

“I’m sure it’s fine Minxes. Just toss me in… I’m ready to go!”

“Ok… bon voyage Sassy!”

“Uhh… Minxes? I need a little help. I can’t push through on my own.”

“Ok… who wants to give Sassy a hand???”

“I vote Skelly does it. Since she’s so sure it isn’t hot!”

“I got you Sassy! Here we go… hmm… it feels very…”

“AAAAARGH!!!”

“AAAi!!! Skelly… pull out… PULL OUT!!!”

“HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Gotcha!”

“Skelly… Haha! You’re the worst!”

“OMG… I almost pooped myself!”

“Really, it just tickled a little. I felt someone take Sassy out of my hand, so I think she’s ready for FUN!”

“I can’t wait to see what she gets up to next!”

A Portal Opens

Part 3

Saffee waited at the portal, a little nervous next to the large, gaping… whatever it was. Perhaps she could step through and get a view of the fabled Mansion? Is that what she was supposed to do? Was it safe? What was that sound? Were they voices? She wasn’t sure. None of it sounded like actual words. Then, before she could make any decisions for better or worse, a hand thrust through the membrane towards her.

The hand was skeletal, made of nothing but bone. She recoiled in surprise, but on the hand was a shoe. “Hello!” it greeted. Saffee grabbed Sassy’s other half more on impulse than anything, but her gaze was locked on the hand.

“Righty! You’re here!”

“Lefty, I missed you!”

“Ha ha! We’re talking to ourselves!”

“Yes we are! Ha ha!”

“Sassy, is Minx Mansion okay?” asked Saffee as the portal closed. “The hand that brought you through was nothing but bone!” She carried her down the ramp towards Evey and her other half.

Sassy giggled. “The portal was a little weird… I’ve never seen it do what it did before! Everything is fine, though. That was Skelita! The portal was all bubbly and she pushed me through. She’s a skeleton but she’s just as cute and sexy and awesome as any of the other Minxes!”

“There was a problem with the connection?” Inquired Naida. “We’ll diagnose the problem and make sure it didn’t originate on our end. This was this portal’s first trial, it is possible something isn’t calibrated properly.” The tiny elf gestured for her companions to look at the problem.

Saffee brought her half Sassy over to Evey. “Hey! You’re still in Stealth Mode! I thought you told me you were safe here!”

“I didn’t tell you anything! You read my thoughts because you are me! Ugh! We’re so disjointed! Hold on… Stealth Mode Disengaged!” With a little grunt of effort the black shoe changed to match her red half. “There! This is my natural color!”

“You’re beautiful, Sassy! You seem a little disoriented, though. Can we help?” asked Evey.

“Yes. Wear me! We’ve been apart so long, but there’s no better way to bring shoes back together than to wear us! You’ll find our sizing to be very forgiving!”

“Oh, can I? Please?” asked Glissa who didn’t regularly wear shoes. “You said you wanted to have some adventures, right? Where better to do that than on the feet of Glissa, Warrior of the True North Clan? We’d be awesome together!”

“Yay! Yes! Try us on! Try us on!”

Glissa sat down on the edge of the portal and Evey slid one shoe onto her foot, then Saffee slid on the other.

Sassy gave a satisfied, “ahhhhhh. That’s more like it!”

Glissa stood up slowly, using one of her hands to steady herself.

“It’s okay Glissa, I’ll help you balance! Go ahead, try something!”

“Okay…” agreed Glissa before striking a pose on one foot. “What? No way! This is great! It’s no different than normal!”

“Ha ha! Yeah! We’re going to be a great team, Glissa!”

Evey smiled, thrilled to see Sassy so happy. “I think we’ll be able to show you some action soon. We were going to talk about plans for a raid on the drow before we were happily interrupted with the portal. We should get back to that."

The elves murmured in agreement and moved back towards the common area. Glissa strutted gracefully in her new shoes.

Your little ones have fully working Stargate. OMG.

[agent0013]

Hell yeah they do! lol.

Take a look at the last photo of part 1. Instead of using the same event horizon as Stargate I used one of the aurora photos I took while out with Rosebud.

[Tsall]

I noticed that is wasn’t the usual Stargate event horizon. But didn’t notice that it is one of your aurora pics. Nicely done.
