Brooks was a sleep when Deb caned her way to them, waking she was temperately confused. "Where am I again? Big Tee's? in the cold and snow but it can't be, OOOOOO look at all the blue sky and water." " Oh right Terrie/Samatha did her thing, good job!!"she said. "How's it going NancyL? Are any of the outfits finished yet?" asked Brooks. "Now where did the Bride and Groom get too now" Said Deb, "they were right behind me!" "Boo!! Lexie!! Go!! Find!! Mommy" Samatha barked at the dogs and off they went running up the beach in the opposite direction of where Bara was standing. Terrie and Bara rolled their eyes  Big Tee was happy to have something to do, all that water made her very nervous. But just before she about to leave she spotted the Cedric and the Mounties. They had stripped down the their Jockey shorts and were all in the water with Shannon playing. Diane, Luci, Niaru were in the water also splashing around with the Mounties, while Michael watch from the beach. All seemed to finally working out.................................The Wedding was to be the very next morning at sunrise. |

All that water and all that splashing was making the cat posse nervous too.
Louie headed for the (palm)tree line with as much dignity as he could muster, shaking his paws free of the sand at times and mumbling "now where is dat tin food dat I heard was bought for muself..."
Seeing him walking away, Boo and Lexie whirled around and chased after him in a flurry of white sand. Stella extended a long leg and promptly tripped Boo, who looked up at her adoringly.
"don't make me smack you upside the head AGAIN", she said. Go play with Garou, he looks all lonely.
Meanwhile, the fairy was having a fit.
"Cedric is HERE?! But he can't see my outfit yet, he can't he can't!"
So Terrie twitched her nose again and....

Suddenly a big white tent was standing in front of all. our little fairy was rushing to get inside before she was seen and all the cats were having a blast sharpening their claws on the canvas of the tent. Boo had discovered that if he bounced a ball at the tent it magically bounced right back to him. So he was back in heaven. Stella looked around and said "This is good, now where is Claire with my breakfast.?"

All the Ex-racers, animals and hangers-on were gathered inside the tent.
'GET OFF me!' snapped Niaru at Garou - not really meaning it, but Ollie might be watching.
The tent settled down in the sudden tropical darkness. Estelle floated into the Big Top, sending a single star-beam down to where Allouette snuggled in Brooksie's lap. Henry flapped around, spoiling the atmosphere and dropping the occasional ..
"DON'T DO THAT! Roared Louie da Lip.
Over the other side of the tent sat Cedric and his Mounties and their horses. His Big Feet were covered in sand and he twitched his toes happily.
"Auntie Brooks?" whispered Allouette, shyly. Brooks bent her head. "What, dear?"
"Auntie Brooks," Allouette couldn't look up. She said ALLINARUSH.
"Auntie Brooks, if I marry Cedric tomorrow - WHEN I marry Cedric tomorrow, will you still let me be on the top of your Christmas tree?"
Brooks laughed and cuddled her close. "Of COURSE, Sweetheart. You are our FOREVER Christmas fairy. As long as CEDRIC isn't on the top of our Christmas tree!"
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! A fanfare split the Big Top. A Cavalcade of gorgeous horses, twinkling in sparkle, flashing their plumes - each one perfectly collected - trotted and then cantered into the ring.
Terrie stood in the centre with a lunge whip - but she barely needed it.
"Oooh," said Brooks, "There's Rad, doing a perfect shoulder in!"
"Ooh," said Deb. "Lookit my blind boy, doing a perfect 20m circle!"
"Ooh," said Niaru. "Is that my Charm?"
"Ooh" said Shannon, Diane, Tee, Zenrider, Luci and everyone.
"Are THOSE our horses?" As the display team turned inwards, in a perfect circle and bowed to Terrie.
"Oh," said Bara, as Forry and Edgie cantered off, out of control.
"Oh, flip." said Boo. "They wanna PLAY!!"
"Buster! Come! LEAVE!" Shouted Bara. "LEAVE IT!"

That was the signal for the whole group of horses to break up in a whirl of plumes and sand.
"Now THAT is my Charm", said Niaru as a small bay mare zipped by, squealing and boinking, hot on the heel of Buster-Boo who had no idea what was coming down on him.
"Hello ma Belle, How do you do?" said a gravelly voice in Bara's ear, its owner having suddenly spotted that exotic sounding girl and having suddenly remembered that he, indeed, preferred brunettes...
"So", said Zen, ready to be further entertained, "what is next?"
Just then Adcooper entered the tent, juggling torches in front of her. Luci and Michael waltzed by in their most glamorous outfits, and outside the tent, a Gypsy wagon slowly came to a stop....

Bara's legs gave way as she gazed up into the handsome face of the French Canadian (who belonged to Niaru, and Bara KNEW that).
Then she saw the gypsy waggon and said "DAMN!"
EsmEralda, complete with beauty and gorgeous hair, stepped down...
"DAMN!" Said Bara and Niaru together.
"Belle" growled Garou mellifluously...
"Double-Damn," repeated the Ex-Racers.
"What?" asked Zen, striding forward to greet the gypsy.
"Damn," muttered Niaru and Bara.

The night before the wedding had people running all over there little the island. Flowers had to be fresh, the tent had to decorated, the food had to cooked and ready to serve at sunrise. eventually it was all done and people were making there way back to the hotel to get some sleep.
Brooks woke up very early that morning and went to the cradle where her Christmas fairy laid sleeping.
"Wake up little Allouette, the day is finally here, your wedding day." she smiled.
Allouette burst in to tears" I can't marry, I just can't marry him!!"
"Allouette what has happened?" calmly asked Brooks.
"I was up all night I couldn't sleep, this has gone too far, OOHHHHHH I can't marry...............anyone.................. ever" she cried. "It's just not allowed, I'll be kick out of my Fairy order. We fairies are only allowed to marry with in our order." "Cedric is sooooo cute and handsome, I got carried away, I just couldn't stop myself and then all of you went to all this trouble. This beautiful island and everything is so special, Ohhhhhh I've made such a mess of it all." bursting in to tears Allouette was inconsolable. It was several minutes before Brooks could speak with her again.
Bara in the next room heard the crying and came in to see what was wrong. Brooks informed her of what Allouette said. "Now she tells us, poor thing. Well what do we do now?" asked Bara.

Bara raised her eyebrows and shrugged helplessly at Diane. "You'd better ask Brooks," she said ....
Forry, oblivious to the recent change in events, was annoying Cypress, by taking advantage of her status as a Librarian horse, as he penned, I mean, hoofed his 'Wedding Song.'
"Fairy. Airy? Scary? Bigfoot... caput? Nose-flute?" he asked desparately. Cypress turned her back and smacked him upside the poll - with both barrels.
Meanwhile, Cedric was sitting on the sands with his head in his hands ("Sands - hands," muttered Forry, slightly dazed.)
Garou and the Mounties were sitting in a silent circle around the Sasquatch. They were all slightly hung-over - no, VERY hungover from the Bachelor party the night before. No-one could remember much about it ...
Eventually, Garou broke the silence. "But Cedric," he growled, "you were so in love, so certain ..."
Cedric looked wretched. "But that was before I saw Esmaralda," he moaned. He looked down miserably at his big feet. "But I know, Garou, that you ..."
The singer interrupted. "Ah," he gravelled, softly (like a soft sort of gravelly sound.) "Ah. That was before I saw ShanNON ..."
"Oh merde," murmured all the boys.

Shannon spun around at the sound of her name being spoken softly. She was sure that it had come from where the boys were. Quietly she tiptoed closer to hear what they were saying.
"How do I break it to the little fairy that I can not marry her? asked Cedric.
" I think the best thing is to just straight up tell her" said Boo.
the others looked at him as if they had never seen him before. He was making so much sense and was so serious they were not sure it was really Boo.
Meanwhile back at the tent, Terrie cam in to where the little fairy was crying and said" Why don't we just turn this in to the most amazing exracer "Gala Festival" It will only take a little more effort on all of our parts to have.......are you ready for this........a TalentShow!!"
I will enter my 4 boys as they can all stand on their rear legs and dance for you." "What a sight that will be."
"Of course I have been practicing so I will sing while they dance." "Don't worry I'll pass out ear plugs to y'all."
Bara and Claire looked at Terrie like she was nuts and then the flap to the tent opened and there was our own sweet Bindi who stated..."Of course you all are nuts.. I'm happy to be here and my talent will be..............."

The assembled masses shrugged their shoulders and turned to follow Bindi wherever she would lead them. All but Cedric and Allouette, who lingered quietly for a moment of closure. As they whispered farewells and promises of undying friendship Allouette caught a glimpse of something bright and shiny at eye level. Eye level? For a fairy? What could it be? Curiousity killing her, she gave Cedric a kind but hasty brushoff. "Farewell, my hairy friend. Look, isn't that your friend Esmerelda twirling her beads over there?"
Cedric whirled and stomped off eagerly in the direction of the caravan. Allouette now had a clear view of a dashing young fairy fellow, dressed as a pirate with a lavendar bandana wrapped around his tangle of raven curls, and a sequin-spangled blunderbuss slung across his hairless shoulder. She tingled all over.
"Maurice! Is it really you? Oh, Maurice, it's been so long. Where have you been? We all thought you'd been lost at sea."
"I was lost at sea, my darling, but last Tuesday, as I was combing the beach for shells (you see I make these lovely belt buckles with a scraps of abalone and sell them to the tourists for outrageous prices) I came across a tiny conch shell and held it to my ear. The message was loud and clear: 'Follow your heart, which should lead you 342 yards straight up the beach to a wild assembly of dogs, horses, humans, one sasquatch and your own true love.' I've been hiking toward this moment ever since, my darling."
The little fairy began to twinkle uncontrollably.

Truth and Truth trotted smartly along the beach, coming to a perfect HALT.
"Good heavens," said Truth (or neighed Truth) peering down at Allouette and her beau. "It's Captain Jack Sparrow! I never realised you were so ... errr... "
"Small." said the other Truth.

Pulling himself up to his full height, Maurice stared Truth directly in the fetlock.
"I am Maurice Sparrow," he declared forcefully. "Jack is my taller twin brother, and a foul scoundrel at that!" And taking his own true love by the hand, he marched daintily away, toward the sights, sounds and smells of the Exracer Talent Show, now getting underway in Filly's Oceanfront Garden Cafe.
The pair of Truths looked at one another quizzically, then tucked sprays of bouganvillia behind their ears and followed the fairies toward the unmistakable aroma of grilled bratwurst and freshly mown alfalfa. Strains of music drifted toward them on the sea breeze.
"What's that tune?" wondered Truth. "I've heard it somewhere before.

"Ooh, " said Bara, " I was just about to ask that question about the Sparrow brothers. And look, Bouganvillea! My favourite! I wonder if there's any Jacaranda ...?" Adcooper (metaphorically) slapped her upside the head. "If you'll excuse me," said Niaru, "I think that music may be www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUXGVfmrEN4 " Garou blushed, Esmeralda groaned. Bara fainted and Niaru went a bit weak at the knees.. "C'est mes amis, Daniel et Patric," explained Garou. The show had started. Garou rushed off to the Big Top. Terrie, wearing a Ringmaster outfit was standing in the centre as all the Ex-Racers and their animals took their seats and standing room. Yonkie was fussing with her plume. Forry was stressing over his poem, which no longer seemed to fit. Diane, Brooks, Deb, Louise the waitress, Adcooper and Bara took ringside seats. "And it's MaurEEES," added Morris to no-one in particular. Allouette dashed back and grabbed him by the hand. To a drum-roll, Estelle had arisen into the rafters, Henry following her. Terrie, resisting the urge to twitch her nose, strode into the centre of the ring .... Her horses behind her. Dakota by her feet. |

Louie closed down the connection.
