Well, the intake manifolds aren't damaged, that's one good thing, but this oil line.. wouldn't trust it for five miles, out it goes! Mama and that man are so lucky not to have been badly hurt.
Dru.... DRU!! You've got an email...
Me?? who would contact me via email?? I don't have any friends any more. Not since I arrived here....
Oh, Dru, my darling boy, you know that's not true, there are lots of people who love you and care about you.. and what about all those girls???
Those girls only wanted me for one thing Mama, you know how I feel about that now.
Well, that's true, but you weren't complaining, anyhow this girl is different, she's lovely and lonely, and I you have a lot more in common than you realise.. here read.
You were right, she's lovely, so soft and ethereal, and I can almost hear her voice. Oh, she has a kitty! She says I was enquiring?? MAMA!! Have you been meddling again??
You need a friend Dru.. that's all I was looking for.. now, go and tell her about yourself.
is it working??? Oh, good.. that timer button scares me. Anyhow here goes..
*hmm hmmm (clears throat)* Greetings and Salutations Miss Cora, what a pleasure it was to receive your lovely email recently. I must apologise for the delay in replying, normally I am much more prompt, but Mama had some problems with her motorcycle that I needed to fix, and I would hate for my introduction to be spoilt by grease and oil.
What a pity that you don't like your full name Miss Cora, I think its very feminine and sweet, just like you seem to be. My name IS short for something else (thats one thing in common). My full name is a real mouthful but, and Mama is the only one who uses it, usually when she's upset or sad. I am properly known as Drucius Xavier Mamoru K'Trala. Mama said that when I arrived I was just Mamoru, which means protector, but when we met, my heart told hers that I was Drucius Xavier, as I had found my forever home. She gave me her clan name of K'Trala later on, which is something I am very proud of, its an old and very well respected dragon clan name that is passed through the Matriarchal line.. Mama is a K'Trala, and all the dragon's I have ever met know her name.
I hope I haven't scared you by talking of Dragons. There are lots of them here, I even wear one to help remind me of who I am now. All the dragons here are very sweet, particularly the ones closest to Mama, some of them look quite fierce, and Mama says that's to worry people who scare her.. I don't understand why Mama would be scared of any one. I surely hope that there is no one where you are, sweet Miss Cora, who would scare you. If there is, I will deal with them if you give me the word.
There is another thing we have in common Miss Cora. Like you, I have no memory of my life before I came here. All that comes to me is Sadness, very very deep sadness, almost without hope. But when I try and remember back further, there is nothing. Mama says I will never be sad again if she has anything to do with it, and she DOES try very hard to make me happy, all of us here are very well looked after, but its not the same as having that special someone, is it?? I love Mama a lot, and I know she never divides her love between us, rather she multiplies it so that there is more to go around. Miss Cora, do you ever try to remember your past?? or do you think that maybe its better left alone. some days I wish there was someone who was as special to me as I was to them, with no one else getting in the way. Mama would be sad if she heard me say this, so please don't tell her. I know she visits with you a lot, she always smiles when she sees a new message from you.
Here's another thing that we have in common Miss Cora (that makes three!), I do the laundry here too! Mama is very busy, and the other resinkids, well, they aren't very technical minded, and I am very worried that they would spoil the clothes that Mama takes so long to make if they washed them. There are a lot of us here, because I think Mama has a lot of empty space in her heart, so there is always washing and ironing. But it doesn't rain much, so we have no problems getting it dry. I used to be embarrased when the girls would put their frilly underclothes in the wash, but now, its all just washing to me.
Do you have any other family Miss Cora, or is it just friends that you live with?? I found my brother last year, after a tip from a friend, but he has his own life with a lovely girl, so I don't bother them much. We visit often, but he says he mustn't tell me about my life before I came here, I don't know why. Perhaps if I keep looking I will find someone else who can help me in my search.
Gee.. Miss Cora (it IS Miss, isn't it??) I don't think I have much spare time to laze around in, but I would like to, one day. Right now, I feel that I should be helping Mama out with the little resinkids, and she swears that no one makes her motorcycle purr as well as I do. I wish she would stop riding it, its dangerous. But I must admit, there's a bit of me that wants to feel the wind in my hair and the freedom to just kick up the side stand and go. When I do get a spare moment, I like to read books or talk to some of the other resinkids here, they are an interesting bunch.
I see you have a beatiful Kitty, Miss Cora, we are getting some pets here soon, which will make the house a lot busier, but a lot more fun, I just hope they are house trained.. it will almost certainly fall to me if they are not, but I don't mind, kitty's are very calming and peaceful to have around. I would like to introduce you to one of the other resinkids living here, well, actually, she's not a resinkid, she's a vinylkid, but that doesn't matter around here, we are all equal and worthy of love. We know this because Mama tells everyone that its true.
*come up little one* Miss Cora, this is Muffine, she's the daughter of one of the other boys here, Zenyatta, but he had to go away urgently, so I promised that I would take care of her, she's a bit lonely now, but maybe the new pets will cheer her up
Muffine, say hello to the pretty Miss Cora, and her kitty Witten. Miss Cora, Muffine wants to know who named your Kitty, and if she comes to visit, can she pat him, the last kitty she patted tried to chew her arm off, it was a tense few days, I can tell you. But we sat down and explained to Muffine that big stripey kittys aren't actually for patting, they are tigers who live in the jungle, she seems to understand.
I hope you will forgive Muffine for intruding, she likes to climb on me some days.. her pet name for me is Mr Tree *laughs* I don't mind, its good for children to have an adult that they can treat like an old sofa, you know, comfy and somewhere to feel safe. Perhaps she will come to see me as her protector too. I guess we will leave you now, this introduction has turned into a novel, but I wanted to explain a bit about me so that you would know the truth, not the glossed over finish that Mama tells everyone
Thank you for reading this far, Miss Cora, perhaps one day we will have the time to write to each other again, if you would like to. I would get a great deal of pleasure from hearing about your days and your friends.
Yours Faithfully
