The Family Reunion

The king and his daughter, Princess Marlee, and the king's sister, Alyssa, (formerly the wicked witch) arrived at the farm only to find that the farm was filled with people and animals all of whom were there to celebrate Lightfoot's very first birthday party. 

The farmer's wife could not believe all the people that kept arriving, but when she saw her brother, the king, she smiled with happiness. She hadn't seen him in a very long time. She looked up to the sky and saw the beautiful eagle dip his wings as he flew over the farm. She gave him a nod and made her way through the crowd to her brother. The lady he had with him looked familiar, but she couldn't place her.

The king was smiling as he introduced the ladies. Hello, my dear sister. I'd like to introduce you to our runaway sister, Alyssa. It's been a few years, but isn't she beautiful? The ladies hugged and hugged and cried a little. They were so very happy. Everyone was happy. His family was back together again after so many years. They talked and talked and before they realized it the party was about to begin! All of the people and animals were walking or flying close to the corral where Lightfoot was. Tables of food were waiting to be eaten and gifts to be given to the little horse. But someone was missing!

Where was Myla? Well she decided to skip the birthday party and go for a swan ride at the castle. She told Moss that she just couldn't wait any longer. Moss smiled at her little charge and said, "Well, your friend, Princess Marlee went to the party with her father." Myla shook her head and said, "Please, may I go to the castle? Please?' Moss nodded her head and said that she would wait for her then maybe they would get to the farm in time for birthday cake.

Myla had a wonderful time, but she did miss her friend, so after a few swoops around the castle she whispered in the swan's ear to land. She was ready to go to the party.

On their way to the party a big fluffy cat ran meowing so loud it sounded like a scream. Myla said, "Moss, what was the matter with that cat? It sounded like it was scared to death! Then Moss and Myla couldn't help themselves they laughed as the cat landed in a big mud puddle. That made the cat even more upset and he was running even faster. Within a second or two they couldn't see where he went. 

"Wow! You don't see that very often in the forest. Mostly wildlife live here, but I guess you could say that was wildlife!" Then they both laughed.

Kylee also saw Felix run like he was being chased. She just shook her head and thought, "Okay, he is going home like a good boy. Maybe he learned his lesson and won't run away from home again. I think I still have enough time to make the birthday party for that little horse."

Across the street from Marleewood Felix and his human were reunited, but they both were a muddy mess. He did get his fancy dishes back filled with his favorite food, but with a promise that he would be punished if he ran away again or went back to Marleewood uninvited.

The Feline Neighborhood Watch watched from the window across the street. "Well, I think I've seen it all. She actually hugged that spoiled little runaway. Of course, we don't know what happened in the forest. Maybe he did learn his lesson. Mouse said, "Meow, I doubt it. Goodnight."
