Carries on from Ally's... to a degree. The bunny ran away with me. Rolling Eyes

Happy birthday Pimmy!

Charley was thoroughly miserabalised. His luffly Pimmy had SENT HIM AWAY to the bunny farm, and he cried and cried and cried. When he got bored of that, he bounced and bounced and bounced until Nell and Ally got fed up of him and begged Pim to take him back. She hadn’t been particularly keen, but Charley had decided that she didn’t have a say in the matter and had gone back to Gatty anyway.

Now, he was determined to make sure it was in Pimmy’s best interests never to send him away again, cos he had missed her far too much. And he had been getting more and more ideas for Sharlie, and for Abby, and for new drabbles and old drabbles and mini-drabbles and long drabbles. He kept poor Pimmy writing for so long that she got muddled up with all her stories. Before long Sharlie was having a torrid affair with Richard, and Abby was Mary-Lou’s mother, and Georgia, Hades and Posedion kept appearing everywhere!

On the 4th May 2005, Pim was hiding under her desk with her fingers in her ears, muttering “Doomed! Doomed!! DOOMED!!!” when she suddenly realised that Georgia was appearing rather often in these drabbles. Knowing her twin sister well, Pim was immediately suspicious. She crawled out from underneath the desk, removing her hard hat (which she wore as a precaution since you could never quite trust university issue desks) and headed over to the wardrobe. Removing her laptop from the very bottom of it, underneath all her shoes, and bags, and everything heavy that she had been able to find, Pim peered inside, expecting Georgia to leap out any minute.

Except for a few old crisp packets and a rather crumpled Post-it bearing the word “mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”, the bag was empty.

Pim gasped, squeaked, eebled, panicked and finally settled down for a full-scale wibble attack. After that, she ran downstairs to check her hall cupboard, in the vain hope that Georgia was still locked in there.

No such luck.

Seeing nothing else for it, Pim grabbed her trusty “Granny Hedge” St Andrews sweatshirt, a few poking sticks and her Guide cord. She wasn’t a Guide, but she’d always hoped to rescue someone with it, a la Mary-Lou Trelawney and Nancy Wilmot. If nothing else, it might be useful for tying Georgia up. Or lassoing her. Pim ran past her flatties, who wondered what on earth she was doing NOW, and tore out of the door in search of her difficult twin.

She walked up and down the streets of St. Andrews in search of her twin before sitting down dejectedly on a kerb. Georgia was nowhere to be seen, and neither was Hades. Charley had been hopping all over Gatty looking for him, but there was no sign of the little pink bunny, and by now Pim was a little concerned. She and Georgia both grumbled and moaned about their respective twins and tried to kill each other, but they were still sisters.

Suddenly, Pim leapt to her feet, having just had a Very Good Idea. She didn’t use capitals particularly often, but decided that on this occasion they were definitely justified. Grabbing her phone, she dialled a number that was becoming increasingly familiar. “Hello? Allykins?” Pim patiently listened to several “Whee, Pimmy!” exclamations and a few excited bounces, before interrupting. “Ally, Georgia’s missing. Will you help?” She waited to her Ally’s response before continuing, “Thanks, Ally. Now this is what I need you to do…”

Less than half an hour later, Pim heard a huge bang, several thuds and quite a few indignant exclamations coming from the conveniently placed alleyway opposite her. “Honestly, Ally, you could warn us!” Nell exclaimed indignantly, marching out from the alleyway. “You CAN’T just run in to workplaces or lectures, grab CBBers, and then run off with them again! It amounts to kidnapping!”

Ally eyed her partner in grime suspiciously, and Nellikins giggled. “That was fun!” She didn’t get the chance to tell Ally off particularly often – usually being preoccupied with injuring herself in some way – and was determined to take the opportunity as it came. “Now what are we really doing here?”

She was interrupted by a mad squeal from Gempie, who dashed towards Pim and huggled her viciously. “Happy birthday Pimbert!” Pim instantly found herself surrounded by wildly excited CBBers, who were thrilled at this new procrastination opportunity. There was mad bouncing, giggling, yibbling and exclamations at this newest adventure, until Vikki, recalled to her senses, jumped up and down and waved her arms, shouting loudly. That didn’t have much effect, so she took a picture, much to the annoyance of her friends.

“That’s better!” she announced. “Can I just remind you – oh, all right, Lesley, may I remind you! – that we’re here to hunt for Georgia? I know she’s caused a lot of havoc on the board over the past year, but she is still Pimmy’s twin, and a CBBer, so I suggest that we start looking for her.”

Recalled to their sense of duty, the CBBers obediently split up into pairs, setting off around St Andrews, waving bunny treats. They were all sensible enough to know that calling Georgia would only result in her running further away – but Hades could not resist bunny treats, and the two were never far apart. After less than two hours of searching, a loud yell from Josie and excited squeaks from Rosie indicated success.

Georgia, her weakness discovered, was found in Pimmy’s kitchen, helping herself to the variety of buns cooked for the Newcastle Gather. Pim’s flatmates seemed no further behind in joining her, and, seeing nothing else for it, the CBBers demanded their own share. Luckily, Pimbles had cooked plenty, and, three batches later, it was decided that she’d done her share of baking for the day. The rest of Pim’s and Georgia’s birthday was spent amid yibbling, eating, yibbling and a bit more eating. Oh, and present opening!

And, to Georgia’s disgust, they all lived happily ever after.

I have no clue why, but Gem seemed to want to include pigeons last night, but couldn't figure out how. Obviously wasn't that important! Laughing

According to Emperor Zhark, the Pim communicates via pigeon. They fly down from St. Andrew's and type messages into his phone to give me my orders (for I must obey the Pim).

Pigeon Instant Messaging, you see.
