Francine looked forward to the upcoming holiday. It wasn’t often that she could wear her snickerdoodle costume with its bells and jingly-jangly danglies. She felt light and airy as she flew over the sparkling violet seas. Stopping on a small cheesecake island for a breather and beer, she marveled at the monkey’s zen. It would be a good day, she thought. Finally she would be embraced again in the five arms of her beloved Cameron. It had been a long time since his transformation, and would be longer still until the spell wore off. And that is what holidays are for, don’t you think?
