#1: AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH! Author: Carolyn P, Location: Lancaster, EnglandPosted: Sat Oct 02, 2004 8:21 pm AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! The scream echoed down the corridors of the chalet school. Never in all it’s long history had the school known anything like this. The girl opened her mouth and began again. She may have been new to the school, but her family were old girls, her great grandmother was the schools first pupil and Meg had known all her life that the day would come when she would attend the school as well. This was not what made her scream on that first morning.
AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH! Meg let rip once more. She could not possibly believe what she saw, the sight made her feel faint, ill, this was the 21st century and she was familiar with horrifying sights, Satellite TV, Cinema and long evenings with her great grandmother had ensured that Meg was familiar with as many terrifying sights as any other self respecting 11 year old girl. This was worse.
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH! No one had come to see what the matter was with Meg, in fact no one was in the least bit surprised at her reaction. Odille d’ la’ Oubliette, the dormy prefect heard the screams and nodded to herself. ‘Another typical new girl reaction,’ she thought, ‘I suppose I should go and check on her in a minute.’ Another scream rang out and Odillle counted on her fingers, ‘that’s four, most give at least five, better wait for her to get it out of her system.’
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH! The fifth scream was the loudest of them all, but was followed by silence. Inside the cubey Meg risked another look in the mirror, this time she managed to hold the scream, pressing her lips together tightly. She had expected it to be bad, but never this bad. The dormy prefect whose name she had been told, but had forgotten slipped through the curtains. She was dressed in the same uniform as Meg, the uniform that had made her scream when she had put it on for the first time that morning. “I can’t believe I have to wear this for the next seven years,” was all she said as the prefect put an arm around her shoulders. “You will get used to it in time, we all do. By the time you are in sixth form you will probably do no more than shudder as you put it on.” The pair stood and left the dorm to join a line of girls all dressed in the same lime green twinsets.

I think the staff would have to compete!! Anyone for a bright red MA gown? With an orange hood?

Priceless! Ahhh, the poor poor Chalet girls.
#18: Author: janetbrown23, Location: ColchesterPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 12:50 pm To think i was almost inspired to make a lime green lacy knitted twinset because of Joey. Wonder if i still have the wool anywhere. Waste not , want not.
Admits to having been a CS fan for over 40years. After the first 30 years you get odd ideas.

Carolyn - that was inspired - whatever you're taking, I want some!
#20: Author: Kathye, Location: LalehamPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 1:01 pm That was great Carolyn, are we going to get some more or was this a one off ??
#21: Author: Carolyn P, Location: Lancaster, EnglandPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 1:06 pm Glad you all liked.
As it says on the tin, this is complete. It was just one of those very odd bites. Couldn't resist posting it once I had the idea.
#22: Author: Kathye, Location: LalehamPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 1:13 pm Very glad you did, it had me
#23: Author: Ciorstaidh, Location: LondonPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 2:36 pm
OW, that hurt! hehehehe
if the staff wanted to rival the girls, they'd all have to get Ph.Ds (red gowns) - wonder what in? Most things are russet, blue, purple or aqua for University of London degrees.
#24: Author: Kelly, Location: Auckland, New ZealandPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 7:47 pm Thats priceless.
Wonderful Carolyn - I feel so sorry for those poor girls.
