Sloth and the big blue door p.3

Fannie turned to Platty and smiled, "Of course! You have something of mine. Something I only give to a few special friends. Be careful not to drop it or break it." And off she went with her little ones.

Sloth stood outside the big blue door. Her eyes welled up as she waited. She had no ticket to go through. "Move aside...Coming thru!" said the big brown bear. "I'm so hungry! I could eat a ....hmm I wonder what we eat in there. It's gotta be good. Yes! I'm sure it will be good."

"What happened to your coat? There's a big hole in the middle." Sloth asked. "Huh?" replied Choc. "Where?" Suddenly the hole disapeared and his coat was like new. "Things are really different here. I was running from thunder when I felt a sharp pain right..... well, somewhere around here (feeling his coat). I feel good now. How STRANGE! Do you smell that? Young trout! Gotta run."

"Wait!" cried Sloth. "Can you tell someone in there something for me? I haven't seen them for some time." Choc turned and smiled at Sloth, "I'm not allowed I was just told. But, you'll get your ticket soon." and with that Choc danced into the land of Wow. The big blue door closed and vanished. Tears flowed like rain from Sloth's face as she aimlessly walked away from a moment in time. She laid in the grass and wept uncontrollably. "Does anyone care or understand me? Why am I here alone?" In the distance she could here a storm coming and knew she needed to get back to her cave. But she didn't care. "I just want to pass through the blue door. What does anything matter? Who cares? WHO CARES?? They all went through the door. What's wrong with me?"

She began to feel a few drops on the back of her neck as she lay face down in the tall grass. "Grreat! I'm gonna get soaked. So what! I don't care anymore. No one cares." A few more drops fell on her back and neck. There was a warm wind moving her coat. But it wasn't like any wind she'd felt in a long time. Like the smell of springtime, she thought someone was breathing on her. Petrified, she didn't move. Strangely, the drops were warm and focused to an area in her upper back. The thunder stopped, yet the light rain came still. There was a kind of magic in the rain. It seemed to refresh her heart. Then it stopped. The wind and presence were gone. Slowly and fearfully she looked up. There was a necklace of roses next to her with a note. All it said was "Soon" Jumping up she looked in every direction. Far in the distance she saw a bright light getting smaller. Looking up into the cloudless sky was a cropduster plane. It was obviously goofing off. Across the sky it was painting hearts. in the middle of the hearts it wrote "SOON". Sloth began to laugh and cry in joy. "How did you know?" she thought to herself. Again as if to make one last pass, the old plane sputtered diving and climbing, "I just do" blazed across the sky in pink, and it was gone.
