Smee's Great Battle!!



Jaxey, or Smee as we in the guild know him, is one of our War Generals. He was perusing the forums the other day ...all day in fact...and must have been in a state of 'fog brain' because he was even reading posts that were two years old. As he read he came across a guild named Starbutts and they had insulted every mother of every member of our guild!! He was LIVID!!! He stormed into the guild swearing in a language I had nevah heard even in Texas and we can swear in all languages!! His eyes were glazed ovah, but there was fire coming out of em. We all tried to calm him, but he would not be deterred. He swore revenge on Starbutts that very night.

He painted his face, shined his ear rings, marshaled the troops, rode up and down the ranks on his steedy lil blue tiger and cried, "FREEDOM"!! Everyone looked around and said that they thought we were free. Everyone got the paints out though and followed suit. I have to say we were all more excited about painting our faces than the battle and got just a little carried away with it all. I chose pink and grey for my face paint.


Zimmi liked yellow and white. Iola just chunked a bunch of colors on her face and said, "What the heck"!! She looked like a Picasso!!!



 We all mounted our steeds and charged after Smee, who had left minutes before. All we could do was follow the dust since none of us can track worth a hoot. Finally we barely saw him in the dust he was stirrin' up and charged after him. Before we knew it we were in battle. Wands and swords and axes and arrows were flyin' everywhere. We didn't know what we were killin' but with all the fightin' we had to be killin' sumthin'!! Finally the dust settled and I felt something wet on my stainless steel flame pinstriped talons. I thought we were all wading in blood till I looked down and saw a paper coffee cup.


The dust and wand induced smoke finally cleared and we all looked around and low and behold........ We were in the middle of a Starbucks Coffee shop!!!! Smee realized his mistake rather late but tried to downplay it. He walked ovah to the dazed girl behind the counter and while nonchalantly looking at the menu said, "Make mine a Caramel Macchiato and cheese danish, please."
