Yet ANOTHER Bonnie-Chevy Story (Written by J: Illustration by A)

     One day Chevy was tired of eating seeds. I overheard him saying that he was thinking of hiring a lawyer to sue me, and he actually tried that one time; but we got home before he could dial "Judge Judy's" number. I told Chevy that if he tried that again that I would  take all of his seeds away. That's when Bonnie wriggled in. She said that she was really leaning toward punching us both in the stomach. That got Chevy to stop.

Frank Man and the Man-Eating Sofa Cushion of Doom (Fiction by J)

As the sofa cushion approached me, a vicious grin swept its face, taking control. It drooled like a dog in front of "Joe's sSuper Crunchy Bacon Bitz." Just as it charged forward, ready to devour me, Frank Man charged forward heroically! 

Then he stopped suddenly and faced me: "Do you have any flour? " He said.

“Just go straight forward and take the last left,” I instructed.

“Thanks,” he called back to me.

“By the way,” he said, coming back with two large-sized bags of flour. “Do you mind if I charge my I-pod?”

“Sure,” I grumbled quietly.

“Thanks!” he said, and disappeared into the kitchen.

Then the sofa cushion took one look at me and gulped me down in two bites.

THE END.

Perhaps You'll See Me There: An Inside Scoop On the Wildlife at Cedar Bog (By: A)

     Yesterday. It was a bright, cheerful, and warm day outside. A, J, M, and D went to Cedar Bog. All the animals seemed to be coming out to visit us. We ended up spotting about five snakes,

a big toad, a skink, and a mouse. We also happen to come across a rotting carcass of some sort of animal. (We think it is a raccoon.)

   The birds and frogs didn't cease to make noise, almost the whole time we were there. The spring peepers and cardinals were the sounds we recognized.

   Our family did some photography of the trip. I, (A) took video; M, D, and J took turns taking photos. ( I think they did a great job, by the way.)

  We tried to keep quiet with our footsteps, hoping to spot more animals. But we only sighted one more creature, after which we decided to be quiet.

    M brought a sketchbook, she made a sketch of the water. I haven't seen it yet, but I know it is a great piece.

The stream that runs through the park makes it so beautiful. It has such clear, crisp water.

The water is so clear, you can see the details on the bottom of the water, as if there was no stream there at all.

   Over all, the land was pretty wet. It was muddy in most areas of the park. The snakes, I'm sure, liked that. (That, I'm sorry to say, is probably why they came out of hiding. Not us.)

   As I have previously mentioned, there are many animals that we saw; but we also saw various types of interesting plants. There were lots of marsh marigolds, skunk cabbages, snow trilliums, poison sumac,

and poison sumac... It could go on and on.

   Think it's about time to visit Cedar Bog, yet....? Well, you should. Perhaps you'll see me there.

                   The Biscuit That Saved The Day 

(By: J)

     One day as we were coming back from the Museum of Biological Diversity, we stopped at Popeye's because we were craving hot, greasy chicken. After Dad got through ordering the hot, greasy chicken meal, he realized that he had ordered biscuits (which my mother can't have because she has an intolerance to gluten).

After we were finished with our meal, we all (except for Mom) started scarfing down our biscuits drowning them in butter and honey. Mom was drawn to the biscuits and she ate one. Her stomach didn't hurt. The biscuit had healed her! 

The End

Five Horrible Words

by A

Illustration by J

After the dancing incident, Bonnie just kept quiet (for the most part) about what Chevy may/may not be able to do.  But after a while, Bonnie was thinking: 'Surely I'm better at scary story-telling than Chevy.'  She laughed at the thought.

Chevy asked why Bonnie was laughing, so she told him.

Chevy started, "Once upon a time..."

Bonnie shouted, "Hahaha!  Chevy, you can't start off a scary story with Once Upon a Time!"

"But it's my turn, you scatter brain!" she added.

She gave Chevy the stink-eye.  Chevy ate seeds (of course) while Bonnie was telling her scary story.

"It was a dark and stormy night, and in the shadows, a creature was lurking.  It was the scariest thing I've ever seen.  It had big, black eyes, that shone in the moonlight.  It was horribly ugly, with a huge belly and green feathers.  It also had yellow and black ones, but the most scary were the green.  And it was so ugly and stinky, I never wanted to see it again!  And it was often caught eating whole restaurants.  The creature's name sounded like 'Bevvy'.  I hate to tell you this, but that ugly (and stupid) thing was found devouring entire universes!!"

Bonnie got a tissue (for dramatic effect) and blew her nose really loudly.  She tried to pretend and quiver from being frightened, even.

Chevy stood up and said, "Duh, that sounds like my cousin Levvy! (except for the eating universes part)."

"Don't you get it?!" Bonnie yelled.  "You numb-skull!  That's YOU!"

Chevy said "I don't know any 'you's'.  I think you're mistaken.  Plus,  you said it rhymed with Bevvy!"

Bonnie was so furious (but a tiny bit amused that Chevy didn't understand that the story was actually about him).  Bonnie remembered that Chevy still hadn't told his story, or all of it (since she had cut him off).

Anyway, Chevy cleared his throat, took the sun from out of the sky, and held it under his face.  He was ready.

"Just tell the dumb story already!  You can't scare me anyway!" Bonnie said, annoyed.

"Okay...if you're ready for this," replied Chevy.

"I'm ready.  I've been ready.  You could never scare me anyway!" Bonnie laughed.

"I ate you.  The end."  Then Chevy took the sun, placed it back where it belonged, and came back to see Bonnie hiding in the corner of the cage, shaking so hard, Chevy thought sure she'd fall off the perch.  She didn't eat for a week.

And all because of five words.

Chevy Dances - Fiction by A (with illustration by J)

Chevy Dances

by A

As Bonnie was pecking Chevy at the food dish (one of her favorite activities) one day, she decided she was better than Chevy in all regards - except eating, of course.  (No one could out-eat Chevy!)

Anyway, it occurred to Bonnie that Chevy is the ugliest, most clumsy bird there is. (As far as she's concerned, Chevy is the clumsiest thing ever created!)  

She said, "Chevy, I bet you can't do the moon-walk!"

"Uh, duh, sure I can!" replied the rather annoyed bird.

"Haha!" Bonnie squealed.  "Chevy, I can't breathe!  Please don't tell such a funny joke ever again!"

But before she even finished saying these things, Chevy was gone! He was nowhere to be seen! Then she realized that Chevy was actually walking on the moon!

This made her very angry, but she was sure that she could outsmart Chevy!  

"Ugh! But I know you can't do ballroom dancing!" Bonnie shouted triumphantly, once Chevy had returned to Earth.

Again, Chevy disappeared!  Bonnie felt pretty good about this one!  She flew over to where Chevy was: on top of Chuck-E-Cheese's ball pit!  Or, what used to be the ball pit: the balls were all deflated, and I don't even want to say what happened to the kids!

Bonnie was annoyed, but the next comment would stop all further out-smartings (or so she thought).

"Don't dance like that! You are embarrassing me!" she said.

"Okay," Chevy replied (stupidly, as Bonnie would like to add).

'So,' Bonnie thought, 'Chevy can't possibly do the flamenco!  I bet he doesn't even know what it is!' (though she didn't either).

Chevy, knowing Bonnie was going to try to out-wit him once again, looked over at the thinking Bonnie.  Bonnie brought up enough confidence to say "Okay.  I know you're trying to be Mr. Funny-Man and all.  And I told you to stop, so I know I can outsmart you now...You can't do the flamenco!"

"I can't?" he said.  "Well, I'll be!" and he put his one leg on the other, at the knee and switched legs, first on one leg and then on the other.  Bonnie flew into a rage (literally - she's a bird)!  She went back to the cage.  She paced and danced on the perch for a while, but she thought of just giving up.  But she really, really wanted to be "better" than Chevy, so she figured and hoped she actually could be.

Without thinking what 'macarena' sounds like, she gave the challenge to Chevy.  He rushed to the store, counted out seeds, put them on the counter and flew back to Bonnie.  He made sure she was looking, and then tromped all around the cage, shaking boxes of macaroni in each hand.  He went around, shaking his booty and his belly very violently.

"Hula!" Bonnie ordered, getting angrier by the second!

"Whatever you say, Honey BooBoo Butt!" Chevy said.

Even Bonnie's cheek feathers turned bright red.  Chevy came back with all the world's hula-hoops around his wing feather and said "Yee-haw!" and dispersed them all over the world, and into space!

Bonnie was furious, first that Chevy called her "Honey BooBoo Butt",  and now that Chevy was dancing "funny" again.

"Last one," Bonnie said, grinning.  "Prepare to lose, Chevy.  I want you to do the twist."  

She thought, 'Chevy is so uncoordinated, he'll never be able to do it!'

But he did.  He twisted with Bonnie, and HE TWISTED HER!

She was so dizzy, she fell over and did a face-plant.  There were eggs floating in circles around her head instead of birds.

Never try to out-wit Chevy, he'll find a way to win.
