red skins

i still like the idea, so i'm going to post it, even though it's a couple days old.

the sound of drums echoed through the forest as the bluebird glided ever closer to the clearing. she was not sure what to expect, and was very tense. she stayed at the edge of the trees, peering through to see. there they were. the red skins were quietly making preparations for an excursion of some sort. the bird crept closer, but discovered that wings are not made for creeping, and tumbled disgracefully into the open, catching the attention of all the indians. no turning back now.
but to her strange surprise, the m-vites did not attack. she followed them again through the woods to another clearing, listening to their foreign speech and occasionally daring to add in her own chirp. though they were very different, the m-vites took care and included the little bird whenever they could. by the time she got back to her nest, the bluebird had a pinkish tint to her feathers and had thoroughly enjoyed herself

I miss Jeeves and Wooster! Gah! If there had been someone to dance to the theme song with at Girls' State, maybe I could have survived the meetings better than I did.
