Sinister: A message from a friend...

[Sunset .]

I'm not sure I should be doing this but I have a friend who would like to 
share a belle and sebastain experience with you all... she looked at me so 
pityingly and with such big eyes i gave in to her plaintive pleas... So here 
it is... I hope nobody minds:

Things have been a little crazy the last couple of days and I'm not entirely 
sure what to make of it... In my little life I don't think I have ever 
encountered quite as much excitment in such a short space of time...except  
maybe the time that I ran in the sea and with my head held high in the air 
and I realised that my feet were no longer touching the ground... but no I 
think that this was better than all of that...
I knew something was happening when I saw the girl packing the bag... she 
put in my ball so I pulled it out and ran around the room... she took it off 
me and told me to be patient... she looked a little worried. The boy got my 
lead and we all went to wait by the front door... so then I knew we were 
going on a longer adventure than the normal treks into the park...
And before I knew it I was on another train... i will tell you a funny thing 
about trains. They are really quite good fun! At first I couldn't understand 
them and they scared me but I have long since changed my mind.  As soon as 
you get on one you just know that something interesting is about to happen. 
You can hear the low rumble in the distance and fairly soon you will see the 
long snake like shape rolling towards you. I looked up at the girl and she 
smiled down. I could tell she understood about trains too.
We  finally got out at a place I recognised, I had been there the previous 
weekend but only for a little while, it hadn't been the best walk I had ever 
had. Too many people ignoring me, not enough fields to walk in, but it had 
been a walk to another train so I wondered if this was what was happening 
today.
Well I can tell you now that it wasn't, but don't worry it was better than 
another train.
We walked to a place where a group of people were stood around. I wasn't 
sure what was going on  because the girl and the boy were very quiet so I 
couldn't ask them just then what was happening.
And then somebody came up to speak to us. Strangely enough he knew my name 
but not the girl's he called her "sunnyset". Between you and me that is not 
really her name. I wasn't sure if she got confused becuase from then on she 
sometimes introduced her self by her real name and sometimes by this 
sunnyset name. I asked her about it later and she laughed and said "it is 
just like when I call you 'smell' even though I know that isn't your proper 
name." I wasn't sure I understood.
Well this group of people seemed very nice indeed and they seemed to know 
what they were doing too.It is just as well really because I wasn't entirely 
sure that the boy and  the girl did.
So we followed them into a park and found another group of people. You will 
never guess what though? They were all surrounded by pidgeons! You must know 
how much I love pidgeons? They are so amazing you can see them walking along 
the ground, so you walk slowly and carefuly towards them  but before you 
know it they are in the air. It seems like a pretty clever thing to do to me 
and if I ever get close enough I will ask them exactly how its done.
Once the pidgeons were out of reach I started to look around at all of the 
people. I was so excited becuase people started to come up to talk to me. I 
just had to give them all a kiss they were so lovely. I didn't know why the 
girl didn't do the same she seemed pretty quiet still. She told me that it's 
not always as easy as all that and just because she didn't kiss everyone it 
didn't mean she didn't think they were all lovely. I told her maybe she 
should try next time becuase kissing everyone was so much fun. She laughed 
and said maybe if I had my confidence that is exactly what I would do. I 
don't know what she means by that becuase she is so confident really. She 
doesn't run away when the hair dryer or the hoover attacks her and she once 
saw a bicylce on the pavement and walked straight past it without even 
flinching.
One girl gave me chocolate buttons. I don't know if you have ever had them 
before but if not they are lovely and you should. They are so much nicer 
than my meat and they are even nicer than carrots! I told the guineapigs 
that when I got home. They are always boasting because they get carrots 
everday and I only get them if they  fall on the floor by accident.
These people all seemed to know the band that I am named after so that made 
me feel very special. To be honest until then I wasn't sure if it was 
something that the girl made up just to make me feel happy but now that I 
know they are real and everybody else said how brilliant they are I feel 
very important.
I think that is why I had my picture taken to be honest. I'm a little bit 
famous or something. I couldn't dissapoint my public and of course posed 
nicely for the camera. I'm not about to turn into one of these stuck up 
superstars!
Eventually, after we had all been there for a little while, we went for a 
little walk to a pub! I felt so  very grown-up being allowed in but my 
feeling of pride didn't last too long as I fell asleep quite quickly and 
before I knew it it was time to go.
I asked the girl whether we would see any of these people again and she said 
she hoped so.  I hope so too becuase they were all so nice. Anyway me and 
the girl have struck up a deal: I am going to teach her the running up to 
people and kissing them trick and she is going to teach me the how to stand 
up to hoovers trick!
Love and extra kisses
Belle
