Plien
Plien stood outside the library, looking down at his feet to avoid eye contact with anyone else. He had totally gone out on a limb and asked that pink fey he had met last week out to keep reading. They had gotten so far on that book! And it was such a good book! Of course Plien wanted to keep reading. "Oh!" The fey-cat exclaimed as he saw the other boy approach. "You made it! Was it too out of the way? I know its not exactly near your dorm... um, but, How, um, how are you doing today, Satchas?" Plien smiled, happy he had gotten the name right.

Satchys
"Plien!" Satchas called, his wings fluttering as he approached his friend. Having a friend had really been a breakthrough for the shy nightmare. Where in before he was hard pressed to speak up at all, now he asked questions, greeted others, and even joined in conversations. "I didnt keep you waiting too long, did i?" Satchas asked. It had taken him a fair time to get to the library. Really, him and Plien went to the same academy, but it was an enormous place, and it took the fey twenty minutes to walk over to his friend's dorm. It was a beautiful walk tho, Satchas enjoyed getting out and enjoying the day, so he enjoyed it.

Plien
The little fey grinned, happy to see his friend. "Um, actually, i, uh, kinda wrote a book.... Its really short, but, i wanted to give it to you... Since you inspired me to write it and such." Plien blushed, suddenly shy about giving away a hand made gift. The book was small, the writing was defiantly not perfect, even tho Plien tried hard, and he had colored all the pictures himself. He was proud of it. The book was titled "Yes and No" in big red letters. Red happened to be Plien's favorite color, so of course it had to adorn the book.

Satchys
Satchys was speechless. Well not really, he immediately cheered loudly and fluttered his wings rapidly. "This!" The boy said through wing flutters that ruffled his hair, "Is the best gift in the WORLD! Come on lets go inside and read it now!" Satchys didn't see Plien's blush, the little fey thought his friend was going to read it without him, which he rather wanted. Reading something he wrote aloud? Terrifying.
Satchys was having none of it. He chose a nice spot and sat himself down. "Come on come on! I want to read it soo bad!!" The fey said, wiggling excitedly.

"Okay okay" Plien said, happy but embarrassed. The boy opened the book and began. ‘What!’ yelped Mrs Simons the Headmistress of St Margaret’s Primary School. ‘What a surprise! Never mind, we will just have to get on with it’.
At the Monday morning staff meeting, Mrs Simons explained there had been an administration area at the council. St Margaret’s had been twinned with the local Safari Park. The teachers went quite as they thought about teaching tigers their times tables. Only the PE teacher looked thoughtful, wondering if some of the larger animals could play in next weeks football match against St Augustine’s."

"My turn my turn!" Yelled Satchys, taking the book. "After a few concerns from Mr Jones the Safari Park Manager were ironed out, (he was concerned that the children would be squashed by hippos, eaten by the lions or give sweets to the bears) the children set out to visit their new school buddies. St Margaret’s operated a buddy system, this meant that every pupil had an older friend who would look out for them. Mrs Simons had suggested the system to Mr Jones. Mr Jones had agreed but he still felt quite nervous about some of the pairs……..Small and shy Charlie White, with Old Boss head of the Burberry Lion Pride, he would have to keep a watchful eye!"

Plien
Plien wiggled his wings, happy his friend was having so much fun. The boy giggled as he grabbed the book to take his turn to read. "At first the children and the animals had an amazing time, everyone was getting on very well. The animals were happy to share their enclosures and the children were delighted to meet such exciting new friends. Lunch time went well for the herbivores but was a little trickier for the carnivores, with the sea-lions trying to steal Annabelle Perry’s tuna sandwiches. As the children and animals played after their lunch, a loud warning bell was heard. "

Satchys
"Oooh that was good! This book is really good Plien!" Satchys said, looking at the pictures closely. The little boy was so proud of his friend. "Mr Jones came running out of his office shouting ‘who has let the monkeys out, again!’ Suddenly monkeys appeared form all directions, three were even driving a golf cart. The monkeys were desperately trying to reach the parks fair ground, they had heard that the long flume and roller coaster were very good fun." Plien reached for the book to read his turn, but the pink nightmare Satchys held it away, making noises of admiration at all the pictures. "I wanna see the pictures! I cant see um when i read!" Satchys said, finally handing the book back over.

Plien
Plien grabbed his book back. Reading it like this made him so happy. He wanted to write more! "As the monkeys scampered to the carousels the children cheered and waved encouragement. As the excitement grew, Charlie White jumped on to Old Bosses back. Old Boss took a powerful leap and they landed next to the ice cream parlour. This action sealed the fate of the astonishing afternoon. The park had never seen or heard such fun and joy as animals and children piled onto the ghost train, tummies filled with candy floss, pop corn and ice cream." Plien handed the book back, there was one passage left, and he wanted his friend to be the one to read it.

Satchys
"Mr Jones and Mrs Simons watched on, knowing that there would be little point in hurrying the children and the animals. ‘Let them get it out their system, tomorrow will be spellings, division and homework, today can be magic!’ smiled Mrs Simons." Satchys finished the last word, and then closed the book and clutched it to his chest. "That was great! Oh it was so so good!" The little boy said, giddy with excitement. "This," The pink boy declared, "Is the very best book in the entire world!" Plien laughed, and the two kids got up from their reading spot. Their reading time was over, sadly, but the two knew they had to make plans again soon.
