CHAPTER FIVE

A WONDERFUL THING

"Do you remember how uncrowded it was? Like we had discovered it."

            "We did in a way," said Shelia Westwater, "We put it on the map. It'll never be the same."

            "Yeah... It was spectacular."

            Muk had nestled his head in Shelia's shoulder. He reached over and kissed her nipple. He drew a circle with his tongue around her areola. Then he gave equal time to the other. Shelia squirmed and closed her eyes.

Muk answered, "Ain't having a history with someone a wonderful thing?"

Shelia hummed a "yes" and they both giggled.

The bright yellow morning sunlight that poured in through the window was filtered by an orange tree. The bed was messy and Muk and Shelia were entwined and entangled.

"What a lovely way to start the day."

"A very nice wake-up call."

Muk sat up. "Are you still pals with Ali BeeDee?" he asked.

"Yep. I talk to her just about every day."

"I need a favor."

"Is that why you called?"

"That. And a few other reasons." Muk cupped her breast playfully and kissed her on the lips. "It's a fun favor."

"I like fun."

"I know you do. That's why I'm here. So is Ali BeeDee in a program? Or is she messy? Or...?"

"She still parties. But less so. Her wheels are on the rail."

"Bueno. Very swell. I have a Gift Certificate for you."

Muk climbed over Shelia to reach for his jacket. He made a comedic show of it, pressing her down, pawing and crawling over her until they were laughing loudly.

Muk handed her an envelope, handmade of thick paper.

"Oooh," she cooed, "It's got my name on it."

The calligraphy was tight, accentuated with watercolor florets. She opened the envelope carefully, thinking that Muk's artwork will be worth something more someday. She removed a colorful card. The elaborate border was hand painted and Indian in design. With a Far Eastern hand, it was inscribed, For a Journey Through the Time and Space of the Universe of You. A Voyage for Two. Officiated by your Host Prince Pandor.

"Ya don't get an invitation like that every day now do ya?"

Shelia sighed, "The Adventures of Muk McKaylee."

"No, Prince Pandor."

"Ah!"

"You'll love this. But it must be redeemed with Ali, at Ali's place. Tonight."

"Tonight?! That... might not work out."

"That gift certificate has an expiration date on it. You gotta make it happen. The timing is key. I'm in a jam... And besides, you're gonna love it."

"Muk, if it was anyone but you..."

"And it is me."

"OK, then. I'll make it happen." She giggled, "I can't wait. It sounds great."

"We'll be there at 9PM. Don't party too much before we get there."

"Noted. And intrigued."

"Yep," Muk flashed his pearly whites, "It's gonna be a good one. Make sure you come in costume." He kissed her on the lips.
