Issue 10-11(1998-2000) - Tigerlilly and Tigerlan Get a New Pet
It was a nice sunny day. Tigerlilly and Tigerlan were walking past a pet shop(You get them in jungles these days!), when they suddenly saw a notice. It read, 'If you take care for your pets all next year, we'll fly you all off to a jungle in Barbados!'(You also get them now!!). They both though, 'How hard can looking after a pet be?'. Just then Lilly spotted a Pet shop across the road(Don't ask where all these shops and roads came from!!). They both went in and started to look around. Lan came up with the idea of getting some fish, but he didn't know they were pirhanas, and when he went to stoke one, he had his paw bitten off!! Lilly opened a cage and a bird flew out. She looked up as it flew in circles around the room. It then pooed in her face! Lan then found a cage with a sign saying, 'This puppy will grow 10 feet tall, and extremely ferocious is put in water!'. At the moment it was a cute puppy. He opened the cage, and the puppy started licking his face. It was adorable. They both agreed to get it! They set off home, but grey clouds suddenly started to appear in the sky! "Oh No! Rain... We can't get the puppy wet!", shouted Lan. They both jumped on a bus, narrowly avoiding the first drops of rain. Just as they were breathing a sigh of relief, the bus suddenly ended up stuck in a traffic jam(The traffic in jungles these days is terrible!!). They looked out of the window and screamed. A sea-life wagon had overturned, and water was heading for the bus. They jumped through the window, Lilly getting cut on the way out of course, and landed in a dustbin. "It's still raining!!",(Oh no not the old man!!), shouted Lan peeking out of the lid. "I know! We can roll home in this bin!!", shouted Lilly, who like's rolling around in bins! They did, getting very dizzy(and Lilly kept on being sick!). Eventually they reached home, and it had stopped raining! "Hooray, We made it!", They both shouted, jumping up and down... In a puddle!! Tigerlilly and Tigerlan suddenly stopped, and looked at one another...."OH OW!!"
BACKGROUND INFO:-
After the huge marathon that was The Golden Crystal, I dropped back to a slightly more mundane storyline in 1998, featuring Tigerlilly and Tigerlan trying to get a pet. This one's even shorter than the last, at just over 300 words. Then again, considering it had less than a third of the issues the last story used, it wasn't bad going!Oh and the 'It's still raining' reference to The Old Man is based upon a character from an old radio station site of mine called BMSLKL Radio. Sadly that site is no longer online, although I won't go into reasons why. Anyway, in one of his pointless lasts-forever stories he kept saying 'it was still raining'.
