A Manda & Mellie Adventure

Once upon a time...

Mellie and Manda found themselves alone in the apartment shortly after it had snowed. Manda had just woken up from her nap, and Mellie and Panda wanted to watch a movie later. With 15 minutes until the Provo library closed, they decided to go on an adventure. Bundling up with boots, coats, scarves, and gloves within a minute they ran/slid to Mellie's car.

The first problem they encountered was the ice covering the car. It took longer than they would have liked to scrape it away and they missed their Shli, who was a pro at scraping cars. When their task was finished, they raced off to the Provo Library. The lights were with them, but when they ran to the doors with five minutes to spare, they found them locked. Someone came out of the library and they slipped in. Manda, who has a lot of experience with getting her way, charmed the front desk attendant to let them into the library for the last three minutes it was open, and victory was so close they could almost taste it.

Unfortunately, this story does not have a happy end. Mellie could not find her movie and Manda could not find the book she wanted. With heads hung in dejection, they exited the library and went home. Still, the outcome is not always as important as the adventure itself.

The End.
