It wasn’t too early as the sun had already made its way a decent amount above the horizon, but still just early enough that Gale knew her parents wouldn’t be up quite yet. Her father Dale’s way of sleeping in on the weekend had rubbed off on his wife just enough that Gadget no longer felt the need to be up at the crack of dawn for whatever the day’s task might involve. Gale brushed her bangs out of her eyes as she bit her lip concentrating hard on getting the exact right measurement for the baking soda. Everything had to be just so. She didn’t want her first time baking all this on her own to be anything short o

Sun shone brightly on the beaches of Long Island, short symmetrical waves beat harmlessly against the shore. A beautiful day for humans and animals alike, and in a mildly deserted cove a volley ball game of epic proportions was under way. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHOO!” Dale sneezed trying to get the sand out of his nose after diving for a particularly fierce volley. “Be careful there Dale,” Chip jested. “Wouldn’t want to hurt yourself.” “Wouldn’t want it ta be ‘enter Sandman’ time either,” Monty joked, helping his teammate up. “Very funny guys,” Dale snorted, par

Mad About You The few knocks on the door that had occurred during the day had ceased. It was a sign of resignation. A signal from the rest of the Titans that they thought he needed time alone, or a sign that a mission had happened, or that something was afoot; Beast Boy didn’t know nor did he particularly care. He had slept on and off during the day between fits of thought, but now he was wide awake and restless. Glancing out the window he saw the sun had just about disappeared under the horizon and evening was well on its way to night fall. Uncurling himself from around the box he’d been holding, still in his canine form, he

Please enjoy your reading experience. In a tree, in a park, two chipmunks slumbered, dreaming, wondering what they might do in the coming morning; and then it dawned on them. Dale’s eyes rolled open like two retractable blinds. Invigorated after a good night’s sleep, he looked over the edge of his top bunk to his brother below him. “Hey Chip,” he called to the sleeping chipmunk in the bed below. Chip opened his eyes and stared back at his more talkative b

Snow fell swiftly, surrounding the semi truck in a cool cocoon of white. Everything around was buried in the soft serene blanket of snow. Even on the road it piled up under the truck's bumper during its slow ascent to the summit. The clatter of the chains was just barely audible over the whistle of the wind, while the dense falling flakes muffled all other noise. Mounds continued to grow, and only the general lay of the land with a slight indent for the road guided the truck's progress. Snuggled deep inside a pallet Georgia tried desperately to wrap herself up in her coat, in a vain attempt, to perhaps hold just a little more heat in from th

Fallen Angel, The sky fell upon the earth in one quick blow. A ceiling of rain seemed to collapse upon the world all at once covering what had been a warm summer's day in a cool liquid blanket welcoming the night. Pounding upon the ground with violence that that longed to destroy the pavement and plants under its force, the water fell rapidly down. The torrential downpour began so suddenly that animals and humans both rushed under any shelter they could find in an attempt to at least retain some semblance of being dry. Against a window the rain rapped, as if a stranger begging to be let in. The wind began to throw it in waves pounding the s

August 24th: "You got it?" a whisper slithered through the dark abode. "O'course oi got it!" Monty replied indignantly, and well above a whisper. Dale frowned at Monty's lack of understanding inside voices, but his expression fell in vain in the dark, "And Zipper you managed to get your piece?" "Bzz." "Good, were they nice and red?" "Bzz." "Excellent!" "Dale…" Chip quietly said as he took his friend aside. "I'm still not sure this is such a great idea." "What do you mean you're not sure?" a whisper came back in the dark. "It's not exactly like our history is looking so great for this date. Don't you think it's a little, you kno

Chapter 18: One Little Victory "So then he went mad against us… Screaming as loud as he could yelling "I DON'T BLUFF!" "Dale quiet, at least quieter, this is a veritable café," Monty chided. "Sorry, it's the climax of the story, how am I suppose to say it?" Dale asked. "Volume's can be changed in the retelling of something if the significance is maintained," Alex mused. The gopher had had a smile plastered to his face from the very beginning of the Ranger's story, partially due to the pure absurdity of a retrieval mission being so complicated, and partially thanks to Dale's enthusiasm for the tale although Alex still couldn't fi

Chapter 17: La Villa Strangiato Two tapes lay propped against a wall in front of a solitary, red-nosed chipmunk. His eyes darted madly back and forth between the two, as his mind ran through the various strengths and weaknesses of the particular album. "Dale you know we were planning on doing this whole revolution thing today, right?" Chip said his voice jarring Dale's mind from its dilemma. "Just be right appreciative that Gadget managed ta talk Dale outta bringing th' whole veritable catalogue," Monty laughed. "Trust me, I am very glad she did. I'm just a bit surprised that Dale's being the indecisive one here," Chip replied. "But yeah
