Gordo Delivers
Author: Deanna B.
A/N: In a thread on the Angel's Soul Spoiler Board, poster TGWShark said that he's (she's?) glad to see that Mr. Gordo picked up the amulet, crawled out the remains of Sunnydale, and gave the package to Angel. Another poster (crumpet) thought that was brilliant, and demanded to see fanfic RIGHT NOW of Mr. Gordo working in the W&H mailroom. So...
My world is very large and full of lots of
envy-loaps.
It is difficult to pick up all these envy-loaps with my short arms and
little hooves, so mostly I just push them into the shorting bins with
my snout.
I miss my Girl. When I dug my way out of the big dirt trough that used
to be a normal world with walls and things, she was nowhere to be
found. All I could find was the shiny ham-you-let that Yellow Fur
wore. It still smelled of him. It seemed to hum all over. Not like
Yellow Fur would hum whenever he'd play a shiny disk of the Rum-Moans,
but somehow it still sounded like him. So I took it and put it around
my neck.
Soon a huge number of Es-You-Fees like Girl drove, maybe even more
than four of them, came from all around, and people wearing funny
suits poured out. One of them saw me with Yellow's ham-you-let, dusted
me off, put me in a big bag like Girl would put sand-witches in for
New Shiny Sister, and tossed me into one of the Es-You-Fees.
After a long bumpy ride, a man with a funny mask over his face and fur
pulled me out of the bag. He was going to put me in a big envy-loap
and put me into storeage. But I explained that I was already in a
store, and that's where Girl bought me when she was little. So he
decided to let me help him with the other envy-loaps instead. He
showed me how, if you put the envy-loaps into the shorting bins,
they'll be given as presents to the person whose name is on the envy-
loap. Fun! I like giving presents.
It turns out that the one he calls "Boss," and lots of other words
under his breath that I don't understand, is the old friend of Girl's,
the one with the dark fur that sticks up funny. Girl cried when he
went away. Maybe he can find Girl and Shiny Sister and Yellow Fur and
Red Fur and all the silly new girls! If I give him Yellow Fur's shiny
ham-you-let as a present, he might be able to find Yellow Fur and give
the present back to him, and then he'll know where I am and he'll tell
Girl. So I put it in an envy-loap, got Mask Head to put Dark Fur's
name on it, and I pushed it into the shorting bin.
I hope Yellow Fur gets the present soon. I kept his secret and never
let Girl know that sometimes when Girl was working at the new school
and he was feeling sad and lonely, he'd take me down to the base-mint
and hug me while he slept on his little bed. He never drooled on my
ear like Girl does. I miss him, too. I hope he's okay. He needs hugs.
