Where Do The Carny Folk Dwell?



We walked down the street, and watched all the people walk out of their way to move away from us, some suddenly grabbing their child's hand. I whipped my sideways fish-tailed pony tail out of my face and made sure my boobs were still in my dress.Oops! They weren't!  I  looked down at my argyle socks, one higher than the other, coming out of my gold glitter stilettos. They were similar to Timm's hot pink sparkly stiletto's but hers had leopard print leggings coming out, clashing with her blue and pink dress. She flipped her purple wig, "Where do the carny folk dwell!" she asked some random Portlander passerby. He shrugged and joined other people on the other side of the street away from us. "Look at those hotties!" Linda shouted and pointed from behind her camera at a couple guys across the street. Krystle slurred something out that was completely incomprehensible unless Danny was around to translate. She wore her usual tiara and with her hair all crazy and knotted around it. No one can ever understand her when she drinks and we call it her own language, Krustacean. We also called her Krustle, queen of Krustacia. She ran towards the boys with Jameson right behind in his Ninja, hip-hop outfit. Danny came running around the corner from wherever he had wondered off to. His bright yellow knee high tights and aztec-looking jacket super hard to miss. 

After a super long and confusing conversation with the two boys we discovered where the carny folk dwell. A bar called, well, something like the golden nugget or golden crust? Either way,we figured out we had to make a long journey and could take the light rail there and for free! We were so excited we ran over to the light rail. As we waited a small child walked by and studied Krustle, queen of Krustacia but quickly pulled away by his mother. We got so excited when the light rail came and all got on loudly. We asked several passengers if it would take us to the golden nugget. Nobody responded except one nice girl who sunk back in the corner a bit. Every time we thought we had to get off we ran back on and watched the expressions of the passengers go from a sigh of relief, to uptight. We figured we'd make everyone happy by singing a song! We would even make it a round! Timm began singing row row row your boat. But, every time she started, Krustle and Jameson started. Nope, we did not know how to sing a round.

We finally came to a stop and Danny made us all get off. We found our way to Hollywood! But where was the crusty gold nugget? After Jameson fell down, Krustle laid down on the street and a passerby asked if we were ok....another epic journey began!

To be continued....
