Ellie's Celebration
“Have you seen Ellie this morning, Bertie?” Asked Posh Bear as he sat down beside his friends.
“No, Sky and I were just saying that we didn’t expect to see her for a little while yet.”
“That was some celebration party though.” Said Sky blinking in the bright sunlight.
“It certainly was. I’m just grateful she got the ellicopter back again.”
“She is getting quite forgetful these days, especially for an elephant. Imagine forgetting not only where she left the ellicopter, but that she had let Wellington Bear borrow it to visit some relations in New Zealand.”
“Yes, but not only that, for she had been adamant that she had left the control inside the ellicopter, which she had clearly not done.” Said Bertie.
“No, Wellington had got them all the time and he was in New Zealand. He told me that it didn’t take long to get there for he found a short cut.” Said Sky.
“That’s right, only took him about twenty minutes, and the new navigation equipment took him right to his relation’s house.” Added Bertie.
“Did it use much fuel travelling that fast though?” Asked Posh.
“Just two chocolate buttons each way, which considering things, isn’t that bad.” Said Bertie.
“Very impressive, mind I didn’t think it is a good idea to waste good chocolate on unnecessary trips in future.” Said Sky firmly.
“Indeed, waste is not a good idea when we talk about honey or chocolate.” Confirmed Bertie.
“Hello chaps, how is everyone today?” Asked Wellington as he sat down beside them.
“A bit fuzzy if honest Wellington, how about yourself?” Asked Posh.
“Good, fine thanks. Used to having a few snifters and going to parties, don’t you know? Doesn’t seem to affect me these days. Think the brain is immune by now, but I’m surprised you’re feeling a touch fuzzy though old chap. I say, our Ellie was in a bit of a state though, poor old girl.”
“I think she was just so happy to have her ellicopter back so she didn’t have to keep on looking for it.”
“Strange that, her forgetting she had let me borrow it. Mind, I was somewhat shocked that she had agreed to lend it to me in the first place.”
“So was she, so she said. I can’t see her letting anyone else borrow it for quite some time to come.” Said Posh.
“Well, that’s where you’re wrong old chap, she is lending it out again tomorrow to Linda Bear. She has a quite exciting little trip planned so I understand.” Said Wellington firmly.
“Really? I didn’t know anything about this trip; do you know where she is going?” Asked Sky.
“Yes thanks.” Replied Wellington.
The three bears sat waiting for him to carry on but he just sat there smiling and looking at them.
“Wellington, any chance you telling us where Linda Bear is going?” Asked Sky.
“Certainly, if you think you may be interested. She is going to be taking most of the bears to this new place she has found for a picnic, and Ellie is one of the guests of honour. I understand that she has acquired quite a few jars of the most delicious honey to share around.” Said Wellington licking his lips.
“I didn’t get an invite, did you Bertie? Posh?” Asked Sky.
The two bears both shook their heads and looked sad.
“Well, there is loads of room in the new ellicopter if you guys want to come, don’t you know? Should be a ripping time.” Said Wellington.
“We’ll think about it, Wellington, do you know where she got this delicious honey from?” Asked Sky.
“Yes thanks.” Said Wellington smiling smugly.
“Was it local by any chance?” Asked Posh
“Oh yes, very local. In fact, one couldn’t get more local.” Said Wellington still teasing.
The three bears looked at one another with one thought, their fresh supplies had arrived just yesterday and they had a feeling that they now might have fewer jars than they thought.
“I think we need to check a few things out, if you’ll excuse us, Wellington.” Said Posh Bear looking worried.
“Yes, no problems at all, I thought you might say that. See you all later, I expect, don’t you know?”
Posh Bear, Bertie and Sky walked away in deep discussion.
“I think we need to have a chat with Linda Bear, but first we should check our own honey stocks just in case.” Said Posh Bear.
Wellington Bear watched and chuckled knowing that they would really enjoy the surprise that Linda Bear was arranging for them, but that was for tomorrow and another story.
