Arnie On The Trail...

As Arnie walked down the trail in the direction of the Goodies' cottage from the instructions she got from Squirrely, she was running the names of the three sisters through her head.  It wasn't like she had ever met them before and the tales she had heard of them that she knew it would be good to get their names right.  "Lets see.  One is Goodie Good," she mumbled to herself.  "Another is Goodie4U, but I just can't remember the third one."

​"It's Goodie2Shues young Borrower," a voice said from behind her ear.

Arnie jumped, startled that anyone could be this close to her.  Normally Borrowers are hard to sneak up on, but this time she was caught fully unaware. Turning around quickly she looked everywhere but did not see anyone.  "Who said that?" she asked.  "I did" was the response again from behind her.  Turning around slowly this time, the owner of the voice did not hide.  It was the blue Wysp!

"You!  I should stick you in a jar and drop you off of a cliff!" growled Arnie.  "You tricked me and I owe you one."  The Wysp only stared at the Borrower, not saying a word until Arnie spoke again.  "What do you want and why are you following me?  Go away!"

​"If I go away, how will you get in to see the Goodies?  They won't see you without an appointment which can only be made through me," said the Wysp.

"Why is that?  I thought the Goodies will speak to anyone?" answered Arnie even though she knew the Wysp had to be up to some kind of mischief again.  "And why am I even wasting my time talking to you?  You just want to trick me again."

Normally the Wysp would be thinking of another way to trick the Borrower, but this time she was way madder at how she had been magically frozen and forced to answer that stupid troll's (Dulbbe) questions in the tunnel.  "I am trying to make it up to you," she sweetly told Arnie with a smile.

​"Then tell me why the Goodies won't see me without making an appointment with you?" asked Arnie.

"They are very busy and by the way, it is because you are also going the wrong way.  That would really mess up my schedule book by the time you figured that out," replied the Wysp.  "They live on the other side of the forest."  Realizing that the Wysp might be right (grudgedly she had to admit that she didn't know exactly where the Goodies lived).  Leave it it to Squirrely to not know his right from his left or up from down when he sketched her this map.  After all, he was a little nutty and only good for knowing where he hid his winter stashes of tasty nuts. Arnie decided that if she must, then she might as well take another chance with the Wysp.

  She couldn't waste any more time in trying to get answers about this tablet.  "Okay.  I will follow you this time, but if you trick me again, I already have a bottle in one of my pockets that you could fit into and I know of a very high cliff to drop you off of!"  Which was a tempting thought Arnie smiled to herself thinking of the little Wysp.
