When my doppelganger
appeared and chained me in a barn, I thought Riley had done it just to
replace me. I did not know she was a group of denizens from the dark
side who intended to take over the Bridge A rabbit named Quick freed
me, but my family and the other angels believed Riley was me. When they
turned on us, we took refuge in the river where we needed to formulate a
plan to stop the villains.
Pocket, who knew I was the real
Foley, and for that reason, was hunted by Riley's minions, lay on the
riverbank, wet and cold. "What are we going to do?" she cried.
Riley
may look like me, but she had none of my memories. If we contacted our
friends and I proved to them, I was the actual Foley by stating facts
about our relationship that only I would know, we could form an army to
prove Riley was a fraud and send her back to the barn where she
belonged.
The first dog we saw was Aran. She began to bark
when we appeared, thinking we were the evil angels. I told her her
Secret Paw when she went to the Bridge and sent her mom a picture book
of sweet Aran. She realized only the real Foley would have remembered
that and apologized for not believing me. I told her not to worry,
everyone did, but she could help us change that.
Next, we
traveled to the most well-respected angel at the Bridge, Tommy Tunes. I
began to explain that despite what he may have heard, I was Foley
Monster when he laughed and said he knew that because of my eyes. Tommy
has always been on top of everything. With Tommy on our side, the
chances of defeating the imposter grew exponentially.
From
there, we convinced Paco, who is one of my friends, and with whom I
share hundreds of secrets, and Winston, the newest angel, who knew how I
helped him become an angel. We heard a commotion occurring at the
town square and saw an Angel Foley appreciation party happening. There
was a big bowl of Kool-Aid near her, and she was passing out cups filled
with it. "I know whatever is in there will help the dark angels take
over," I said. "It is going to take someone that all the angels love to
stop them." I meant myself, but Tommy stepped up and told the angels
not to drink. Everyone stopped.
He told them to empty the cups
and that Riley was an impersonator. They began to do so when I stepped
up, and they stopped. "Get her!" Riley ordered.
"It's me!" I yelled.
"Why should we trust you," one of the angels asked.
I
tried to come up with a reason, but the crowd was turning on me.
Suddenly Pocket was next to me. "I understand," she said. "I know
Foley stretches the truth, but I don't, and you can, believe me, this is
my sister Foley." She held my paw in the air. Aran and Paco swore she
was telling the truth. The crowd turned on Riley.
She tried to
run but was caught by Sheriff Benjamin and would have been sent to
minion court, but I said she was just misunderstood sent her to training
classes. We let Beevis become a minion. Then the party turned into an
appreciation for all of us who stopped the evil angels.
When I
returned home, I had one more angel to confront. I approached Jax and
asked him how he could have mistaken another dog her me. "Oh, I knew it
wasn't you; I just liked her more."
If I weren't so grateful and tired, I would have butt bit him.
Butt Bbite Jax tomorrow! I would! Better yet, eat bacon in front of him without offering any!
ReplyDeleteI guess we can't all win a popularity contest (except maybe Lucy). And too often, it's fake popularity built on lies. XOX Xena
