The Arrival of Anastasia

Following her dramatic rescue by Cosmic Tangerine, Caitie found herself going up the stairs to where Heather was waiting. "Hullo, my name is Heather, I haven't seen you around here before."
|

|
"How do you do Heather, I am not too sure what my name is at the moment, I had a close encounter with an airline x-ray machine and now an encounter with a nasty viper, its all very traumatic."
"Oh yes I can imagine. Cosmic Tangerine has chased the viper away, so I doubt if we will see it again. But I know you must be worn out after all that excitement, come inside and have a cup of coffee with us and you can tell us all about how you came here." |
 |
"Coffee? Heather, how many times must I tell you, Caities love tea! and that's a Caitie you have there."
"Oh hi Dawn, I am sorry, you know I still struggle with molds. Unnamed Caitie, meet Dawn, our resident Caitie."
"How do you do Caitie, welcome, it's great to have another Caitie here at Tumbling Twinns."
|
|
"Thank you Dawn, I am honoured to meet you, and Heather too, I see that I have at least arrived at the right address."
"Yep, to the best of our knowledge we are the only Twinns in South Africa. And now there are two Caities so things will go much better. These other Twinns have no idea of how Caities run things. Come inside and meet the rest of the gang. Caitlyn is around somewhere, she is the Alpha Twinn and we work together at C&D Detective Agency." Dawn took the Caitie inside and organised tea and the pair of them sat down and chatted until Caitlyn arrived. |
|
"Tell me Dawn, are there lots of these vipers lurking around here just waiting to jump out and have Twinns for lunch?"
"Ordinarily not Caitie, but strange things can happen when Twinns are around and I suspect it must have come out of its hole because it was hungry, they usually hibernate around about this time of the year. You are just lucky that Cosmic Tangerine arrived in time. I must organise a few of the girls to hunt it down and send it off to the local zoo."
Just then Dawn heard Caitlyn arriving, "That sounds like Cait now, lets go and meet her. She will be surprised."
|
 |
Caitlyn was looking somewhat worse for wear. "Hi Cait, you look like you had an appointment in the coalshed." Dawn said, trying not to giggle at Caitlyn's very grimy look.
"Hi Dawn, Yes, I had a slight problem trying to set up a rescue for Victoria. Alison and Sarah made her a superhero costume and I had to set up some sort of incident that we could use to get Victoria's confidence back, but I slipped and fell into the dustbin and then couldn't get out. I hope it's not too late to set up an incident now."
"Never mind that, I want you to meet our new arrival, she is a Caitie as you can see and she needs a name and some clothes and a job and a place to stay...."
Caitlyn laughed, "How do you do Caitie, I am pleased to see you. I did get notification about your arrival from somebody called Yrena, but it was written in a strange language which looked very much like Yrtterbianese. I assumed that the new arrival was Erin. Irrespective, welcome to Tumbling Twinns Caitie, I hope that you will be very happy here."
|
 |
"Thank you Caitlyn, I am looking forward to meeting everybody. I almost never got here, lucky for me Cosmic Tangerine rescued me!"
"She did? you better tell me all about it Caitie, although it will have to wait for awhile until I can get cleaned up. I cannot believe I missed all the excitment once again. Dawn, can you take Caitie to the wardrobe and get her something comfy to wear while I go clean up, then we can all sit down to hear her story. I expect the others will start arriving soon so we can have a grand story telling session."
|
 |
And so Caitie arrived at Tumbling Twinns, and was welcomed into our home where she joined in the fun with the rest of the gang. She still has to tell us the tale of how she arrived here, but that is another story for another day.
