[Misty opens one of her yellow-gold eyes. Bobcat is snoring away
in one of his frequent naps. Misty saunters out to the closed
door of the Computer Room.]

"Silly Bobcat!! Thinks he can keep ME out of the Computer Room.
Good thing the Moon is almost Full. He keeps forgetting that I
come into my Power on every Full Moon Night."

[Misty closes her eyes and disappears and then reappears on the
other side of the door and now inside the Computer Room. She
springs up to the "Captain's Chair" and pulls out the the Vintage
IBM Model M Keyboard, and then types in her SECRET Hot Key combo.
Suddenly in the middle of the room her Teleporter appears. It
barely fits.]

Hummmmm. I forgot the rooms in this new apartment are much smaller
than they were in the old apartment. Oh well it fits none the
less.

[Misty springs into the Teleporter and brings up the cat sized
computer Keyboard and taps in a request for the co-ordinates for
Big Cedar Lodge in the Ozark mountains. Presto!! She next sets
the Long. and Lat. co-ordinates and then hits Start/Enter. The
Teleporter comes to life and suddenly -- POOF!!! Suddenly she is
in the Ozark Mountains. She powers down the Teleporter and sets
it to Cloak. She opens the door and is immediately greeted by the
smell of Pine and FRESH AIR!!! The twinkle off the water of a
nearby lake can be seen.]

"At last. For ONCE the Catmittee chose a decent place to hold the
Ball. True, no cultural museums or book stores, or other
intriguing places to visit, but Bast!! You can't beat this place
for relaxation!!"

[Misty jumps out of the teleporter and waves a paw to close to the
door and then chants an old spell to SEAL the door from all
intruders who might accidentally run into the cloaked teleporter.]

"Humans. Most can't be trusted, but in the Ozarks they might still
actually still create Moonshine. "Moonshine" -- How ironic, Misty
thinks, for the "Mistress of the Night", whose powers are derived
from, the MOON!!"

[With that Misty heads off to where some lights and sound are
emanating from to see who is here already that she might know from
Balls gone by, as well as to lend a paw with last minute
decorating that always have to be done].

Daisy-chan sees Misty and gives her a big hug.

"Misty, could you do me a favor? I need some help. As you know, we
always light our candle, a glow stick here for fire safety, as a
loved one's name is read. I can't though as ALL of the kittahs are
just as important. Could you lite these 2 as extras for me?
You'll know when as you hear the names. Rebbeca did this for me
when Aunti Mabel was called. I know with your majic, you can even
if you need 3 paws so as to handle one of your own."

"It is so good to see you again Daisy-chan. You only need 2 extras?!?
Are you SURE?!? Fire magic -- including chemical reactions found in
glow sticks -- is the first thing you learn to master. I'm going to
make it easy for you. Here is a box of 21 -- just in case some cat
bums one or two from you. Unlike the traditional glow stick where you
have to snap and shake the stick to create the chemical glow, these
just need a warm paw and a sincere thought or prayer to produce an
instantaneous glow, and good for 4 hours. It is bright enough to show
you a path if need be. You have a choice of Bright Blue, Fluorescent
Green, Phosphor White, plus 2 Phosphor Red ones as well. Use the
Phosphor Red ONLY as a signal and you need HELP."

Bless you Misty for your help. I had to read Cash and Iowna this year.
I doubt anyone but me would have noticed a special light wasn't lit for
them at the time of reading, but I would have.
