Dear Fans, 
The following set of urgent notes were written on the back of Dandelion Duck's Swan Lake program. Both were received during intermission and were super-secretly passed inside a box of Jujubes. Or maybe it was the Reese's Pieces. 
Happy Reading, Primrose

--- 1ST INTERMISSION ---

Dear Prim,

Oh. My. Duck. Myrtle called her Granny-Mouse during the spinniest part of the ballet. On her PHONE - right HERE in the THEATER. I showed her my sternest duckbill and said SHHHH, but she went on chatting like she was in her bedroom. Act Two is about to start. What to do with our little friend?

Will write again at next intermission. What some candy? Isn't this box the best note delivery disguise? 

Dandelion  

--- 2ND INTERMISSION ---

Dear Prim,

Your plan worked! I asked Myrtle if she would like it if we talked on our phones during her neighborhood hula hoop performances. She said she wouldn't care, but her ears turned pink. Like, woah... as pink as your new rain boots. P, the ears of a mouse never lie. I put M's phone in my ballet slipper and she can't find it! She's crawling under the seat...uh oh...OUCH! She found it.

Oops, the lights are blinking. Gotta go! Wait, did you see my ballet slippers? I've been twirling for weeks. This dance should be called Duck Lake. Let's rewrite it on the way home. Okay, see you on the bus.

Spinning, twirling, whirling - your swaniest-swooniest-dancing-duck friend,
Dandy

Attempted Interview with Lena-Dog


Hello all, Alyssa here. 


Technically, this isn't a letter, but Primrose has graciously invited Lena-Dog and me to post on her blog today. Lena is dictating and I'm typing. Here goes:

Lena-Dog: What's a bloog?

Alyssa: You mean a blog?

Lena-Dog: Oh right. I totally know what that is. Can I eat it?

Alyssa: aksdnlksanlkfaehjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjfkjdalkbfalsndflknaaaaaaaaa....Woah! Woah! Lena, no licking the keyboard!

Lena-Dog:  ...

Alyssa: Lena-Dog?

Lena-Dog: There are SNACKS in the kitchen. My leash is in there too.

Alyssa: Well, let's start blogging first.

Lena-Dog: Jogging? I LOVE TO JOG! Let's go to the park. I'll just meet you there.

Alyssa: What? No one jogs in this house.

Lena-Dog: *SIGH* Don't remind me. Wait, what's that smell? It smells like a sweet ball of claws and cat food. IT SMELLS LIKE RADISH-CAT AND I LOVE HER. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Be right back.

Alyssa: Lena? 


Lena-Dog:  ...


Alyssa: Lena? 


Alyssa: Okay, I think that's it for our attempt at blogging. Oh, wait, Lena? You had something to add?


Lena-Dog: Lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, OUCH! 


Alyssa: Okay folks, see you next time.

A Note from Myrtle Mouse

Yo P! So, they said a mouse couldn't hula. Even Mustard said that mice are too small to handle a hula hoop and he IS a mouse. But what do big smelly brothers know? I say that until today mice just hadn't found the RIGHT hula hoop. That is, the custom-made Myrtle-Moop-Mouse-a-Hoop. That bracelet we found outside Dime-Mart worked perfectly. I mean it was soooooo perfect. Especially with the red and silver tape we put on it.

I was on fire. I told Coach Bimble to blast my song and flicker the lights. He had to ask what song - does he even listen EVER? Duh, it's "Mickey." Get it P? Because I'm a mouse. Anyway I hulaed my little mouse tail off and I won. I can't wait to tell Mustard. I won! I won! I won! I won! I WOOOOOOOON!

Your hula hero,
Myrtle
First Place, Annual Hula Competition, Coach Bimble's Fifth Grade Gym Class

PS: Actually Coach B wouldn't play the song and he definitely didn't flicker any lights, but I did hula for 8 minutes and 37 seconds straight. 24 seconds longer than Pemberton and he's a pony. Everybody knows about ponies and hula hoops. Am I right P? Well now they know about mice and hula hoops. Woo.

PPS: Wanna come over this weekend and help Dandelion and me make my first place trophie? Then my mom says we have to make Milly a Mouse-a-Hoop too. Little sisters. Always copying!

PPPS: It would have been way cooler with flickering lights, don't you think?
