Remember the cat that I talked about in entry 302? Well, today’s the day.  After setting up the appointment with the vet, Lucy’s getting fixed today.  That means no food until after her operation.

While this was carried out quite flawlessly in the household, someone didn’t get the memo and fed her.  Fortunately, it wasn’t a lot of food, so she should be fine.

This morning, I will be taking her to the vet.  Her appointment is at 9:30, so I can’t be late.

 

Ghost Muse:  Is that your kitty?

It’s my mom’s.  With the way that she showed up on our porch a few weeks ago, I would call her a miracle kitty.

Ghost Muse:  She looks pretty cute! Why don’t I ever see her?

How much time do you spend outside my head?  Maybe if you would see her if you weren’t at Remedy’s so often…

Ghost Muse:  *sigh*  I long to have my own home.  I mean, I do…yet I don’t…

Both you and the Shy Muse are connected.  I know.

Ghost Muse:  Don’t forget the Spoiled Rich Muse.  We’re all connected.  They’re all a part of me.

All except for the Dark Muse…

Ghost Muse:  Yeah.  She’s a bad idea prancing around in a clone of my younger self.

Actually, a clone of yourself, only she made herself younger.

Ghost Muse:  Same difference.  I’m guessing that’s the age that I was when I encountered that bad idea for the first time…

So the idea’s the same age as you are…

Ghost Muse:  Yes and no.  Ideas don’t age, which would explain why she would prefer to be that age.

Or it.  Ideas don’t have genders, right?

Ghost Muse:  Not until they choose one.  Being around me, it wanted to be female.  And like all ideas, it just wanted to be accepted.

But all children have bad ideas, but they don’t know any better at that age.

Ghost Muse:  Exactly.  When I was that age, those who knew better kept me away from it.  The ones who raised me did this.

Getting back to how you’re connected…can you actually feel where all your other forms are?

Ghost Muse:  It depends on how strong the connection is.  For the Spoiled Rich Muse, I can definitely sense its presence. But for the Shy Muse, it’s hard to sense since the Dark Muse is blocking my connection with it…

Do you still have those binoculars?

Ghost Muse:  Yes.  Do you want them?

I just want to see what the Shy Muse is doing right now.

Ghost Muse:  Don’t you mean the Shy Dark Muse?  You know, we should really get her out of there…I’m guessing that she wants out but there’s no way for her to escape…

From what you told me about being in there, it must not be fun.

Ghost Muse:  It isn’t.  We should get her out soon.  Who knows the damage she can do with that Dark Muse?

And the worst part about it is that she doesn’t even know that she’s causing the damage!  Let me take a look.

Ghost Muse:  Here. *hands the binoculars to me*  Give them back when you’re done.  This is my only way to see how my other form is doing…

How is she doing?

*looks inside the binoculars to see the Muse fast asleep in her bed*

She’s sleeping right now…Whoa!  What is she…?

*gets sucked inside the Realm of Imagination, inside the Muse’s bedroom*

Muse:  *snore*  Delicious…yummy…tee hee…

What’s going on?  My…my unshakable confidence!  Great!  I’m hopeless!  I might as well give up…

Muse:  *snore* Want another friend…tee hee…

AHHHHH!!!!

*gets sucked inside Muse*

Where am I?  What am I…

Muse: Doing?  Tee hee…

Muse: That dream was so yummy!  We flew, we ate and we even made a new friend!  Tee hee!  Today’s high is going to be a warm 71 degrees and the silver lining is making a new friend today!  To those of you who love making friends and flying with pretty ponies, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.  Tee hee!

 

Really, what’s going on?  Am I…trapped…inside her?  Great!  Just great!  Now I’ll never get out…

Dark Muse:  *sob* Me neither!  Tee hee…
