*strolls in wearing splendid nineteenth century evening attire*
Ladies and gentlemen.....how lovely you could make it......and I hadn't even sent out the invitations yet. Still, I'm happy to get the ball rolling...
Please feel free to invite your friends....I'd love to meet them, if they'd care to join us. I hope you'll agree that my balls are rightly renowned for their size and splendour. I like to hold them frequently, and it gives me great pleasure to have so many of you attending them. I hope each of you lovely ladies will give me a turn on the floor this evening.... *bows deeply to assembled company*
Monsy....would you be the first to do me the pleasure?
*takes Monsy's hand and leads her into the centre of the ballroom. The orchestra strikes up a waltz*

Unfortunately,they seem to have mixed up their sheet music and everyone *gets down to* :
*Did you ever
Did you ever
Stop being Dandy*......
and all the Adam Ant look-alikes crawl out of the woodwork!

*shakes his head and laughs*
Gee....you girls are living in a dream world. CDs indeed! I only employ the finest musicians and entertainers. Now where's that fool......
*and the orchestra strikes up again, this time a really dreamy classical piece*
Who is that divine beauty over there? I must invite her to dance....

Peregrin Posted Dec 9, 1999
The names Bond. No, I mean Ferguson. Sorry.
*Peregrin strokes his tuxedo*
Whoops!
*Peregrin presses a button by mistake, and a grappling hook flies up to the ceiling and Peregrin is hoisted up to the rafters*
Uh, ha ha, hmmm... I meant to do that really. *Sheepish grin* Could somebody pass my martini up?
:-)
msmonsy Posted Dec 10, 1999

well, now that you are up there i suppose there is nothing left to do but play a little game......
*tosses martini up so that our new toy might be able to get a quick drink before coming down*

Anya Posted Dec 10, 1999
Why, I do not know how to dance. . . . by the way, Cinderella was wearing fur shoes in the original story.
:-)
Peregrin Posted Dec 10, 1999
& the ugly sisters cut pieces off their feet so they would fit the shoe! They were given away by the blood leaking.
Lovely isn't it.
BTW, of course I can fly. I'm a Peregrine. *Peregrin flaps his arms and tries to convince himself*
:-)
msmonsy Posted Dec 11, 1999
*ducks under the nearby table so as to avoid the sudden down motion of peregrin*
ermmm.....me thinks you might need to practice a bit more before spreading your wings
.
.
as for the original tale...it was not meant to be a lovely little childrens story, it was meant to be a bit ermmm, how shall we say?...morbid.....
much along the same lines as the brothers grimm.......

Anya ~ I would be delighted if you would allow me to teach you to dance.
Erm....Mr Bond-Ferguson..? There are ladies down here without partners. Stop hanging around and ask someone to dance please.
Nice tux by the way. Interesting buttons.
:-)
Peregrin Posted Dec 12, 1999
Okay then. Hang on.
*Peregrin swoops down and manages a perfect landing. Well, it would have been if it wasn't for the drinks table. Oh well*
Hmm. Girls, girls. Hmmmm.....

shazzPRME Posted Dec 12, 1999
Maybe that is because he is wearing a lamp shade on his head!

Anya Posted Dec 12, 1999
Yes, the original Grimms' Tales are NOT meant for children. That's a rather sore point with me - I'm an amateur folklorist, and folklore is definitely not for children. You should see what happens in the original Little Red Riding Hood.
btw, that wasn't the only bad thing that happened to Cinderella's stepsisters. They also got their eyes pecked out at the wedding.
Now THAT'S lovely, isn't it?
:-)
Epic Posted Dec 13, 1999
No fairy tale has a happy ending. 
(Takes Anya's hand and leads her to the floor. Tentatively they start to dance gently, until Peregrin and monsy swoop past, nearly sending them both flying)
That young man is rather... ahem ...energetic. I must say, you're really very light on both your left feet. I'm sure with some practice, you will be a lovely dancer. You just need a little more confidence.
:-)
Peregrin Posted Dec 13, 1999
It's just occurred to me that James Bond has never been seen to be dancing. I wonder if he can?
*Peregrin performs a pointless break dancing routine, mainly to impress onlookers*
These feathers are perfect for spinning on! Shame about the claws though. And I hope I haven't pecked anybody by mistake.
*Peregrin picks up Monsy and spins her round dizzily*
:-)
Anya Posted Dec 14, 1999
Why, you really are a wonderful dancer! Hmmm . . . . if you ask me, this is how fairy tales should be.
