The Alarm Was Sounded!!!
A Life Event Tale

The Tale Begins....

The Darkhaired Maiden, Laonnie, from the outlying springlakeroad territory spoke the 
decree:  Father James, together we must hastily trek to the jpssmainfortworth fortress in
the great metroplex!  The Father said Agreed!  My dear daughtermaiden, we will make this
our Quest.  The Father perceived that a major life event shall come to pass on this 
mayday18.  All across the land, Armed Forces will celebrate on this day.  So it shall be!

After a restless, dreary night of thundering storms, the Darkhaired Maiden arrived early on
the morn of mayday18.  Her carriagemitsubishi, ready for the crusade they were 
undertaking.  She surrendered her carriagemitsubishi and said... Father, guide us on this 
most important Quest to fortress jpssmainfortworth.  The Lovely Maiden Misty was in 
need of their support!

The Darkhaired Maiden and her Father set off on their Quest with the carriagemitsubishi 
virtually cruising - constantly homing on the towers of the great metroplex and the nearby
fortress jpssmainfortworth.  The impending life event that would affect so many lives was 
constantly on their mind, and they were uneasy.  The life event would not wait for mere 
mortals.  The day was bright, but dark ominous clouds hung over the area in their Quest 
path.  Even in their haste, the Darkhaired Maiden said Father, we must stop midway on 
our Quest for relief and sustenance at decaturland!  And it was so.

They knew that this life event was very great, for hundreds of other carriages were 
traveling in great haste along with them to the great metroplex.  As they met obstacles 
they devised means to persevere in their tedious Quest to fortress jpssmainfortworth.  And
at last, after passing the tall towers of the great metroplex... there it was!  Fortress 
jpssmainfortworth, majestic in the mayday18 morning sun.  The Lovely Maiden Misty was 
near at hand.  The Father and the Darkhaired Maiden rejoiced, but secretly hoped they had 
not missed the major life event.

After securing the trusty carriagemitsubishi in the dark, murky bowels of the fortress 
jpssmainfortworth carriage holding area, the Father and the Darkhaired Maiden began the 
trek through the mazes.  This test would not deter them from completing their Quest.  The 
fortress was intimidating, and the massive fortress portal, rotating to impress and 
intimidate the mortals passing through, was quickly left behind.  They were very near to 
the Lovely Maiden Misty.

They encountered more mazes and vertical elevation maneuvers, and Alas!  They had 
reached the Chambers of the Lovely Maiden Misty.  The Darkhaired Maiden and Lovely Maiden
Misty were happy and warmly embraced... the bond between these beautiful Maidens glows 
brightly in the room - Mother with Daughter.  The Lovely Maiden Misty is Radiant, as she 
prepares for the labor of the life event to occur.   Maternal support has arrived.  The 
Father thinks of how much he loves these beautiful Maidens - Daughter and Granddaughter.
Inside he warmly feels the pride of being part of their lives... as with his love, it is
neverending.

Reinforcements had arrived for Prince Mark.  He could now communicate and endeavor to
coordinate other lesser events to revolve around this major life event.  As it should be,
the lesser events were accomplished well and would not hinder the Lovely Maiden Misty 
and Prince Mark from the intense task near at hand.  Prince Mark's Mother arrived to 
offer well wishes and support, and later his Sister and with her, the Lovely Maiden 
Misty's Daughter, Young Princess Sami.

The Lovely Maiden Misty was laboriously suffering to accomplish her primary role in the 
life event near at hand.  Courageously, she endured pain and discomfort, trembling from the
pressure of the life event.  Mysterious chirps and beeps from contraptions nearby would be
a part of this extraordinary experience.  At last, she asked for relief from the pain and 
stress of the task she alone could accomplish.  The touted Magicepidural assistance was 
called for, and the Lovely Maiden Misty was relieved greatly.  The life event was near!  
The Father and Darkhaired Maiden were expectant and anxiously waiting.  It would be a great
and miraculous happening on this mayday18.

As the Father and the Great Granddaughter Young Princess Sami waited nearby, a cry 
was heard!  More cries!  Excitedly, Young Princess Sami listened closely, her eyes big and 
round with wonder.  The Life Event has come to pass on this mayday18, and all is well in 
the world.  Young Prince Hayden Glen has arrived, loved by all.  It is proclaimed that 
life styles will change as a Male Prince is introduced.  The Father sees his Great Grandson
for the first time and is very happy - the Lovely Maiden Misty has done very well.  It is 
a good time... It is a good feeling... It is a great day.

Many likenesses are stored in small black boxes for later recovery by the Darkhaired 
Maiden, Lovely Maiden Misty and Prince Mark.  Young Prince Hayden Glen, nonchalant 
during his first encounter with mortals, endures the doting and appraisals with only a few
pouts.  The first Mother-Son bonding occurs with Mother's breast, first one, then the 
other - a beautiful sight to behold.  And then, the handmaidens of the fortress 
jpssmainfortworth removed Prince Hayden Glen away to special chambers to be pampered, 
bathed, perfumed and prepared for official proclamation and careful delivery back to the 
Lovely Maiden Misty's private chambers. 
  
The Lovely Maiden Misty is escorted to a secure area of the fortress jpssmainfortworth 
where she and her new Son will be private and safe.  Mother-Son bonding will soon begin 
anew.  The Father, the Darkhaired Maiden and Young Princess Sami are with her and told 
her how well she has done this day.  Prince Mark keeps watch as his new Son, Young Prince
Hayden Glen, is prepared for life's journey, which has just begun.

The Quest by the Father and the Darkhaired Maiden had been very rewarding and 
successful.  Tales would be spun of this mayday18.  They were both Happy and Proud of the
Lovely Maiden Misty and Young Prince Hayden Glen.  But every Quest must end, and the 
Darkhaired Maiden must return to the territory of springlakeroad far to the North West to
carry the great news of the life event back to Sir Dan and Princess Natalie.  Embraces 
and kisses for the Lovely Maiden Misty were in order before they departed on their Journey
homeward.  And it was done.

The Father and the Darkhaired Maiden retrieved the trusty carriagemitsubishi from the 
bowels of the fortress jpssmainfortworth and began their homeward journey in the 
darkness of mayday18.  They spoke of the experiences of the life event, the Lovely 
Maiden Misty, Young Prince Hayden Glen, Prince Mark and the Young Princess Sami.  
In the darkness of the journey, the Father thinks of his Daughters, Sons, Grandchildren 
and Great Grandchildren and the feeling is warm and good - he is grateful.  Forevermore....
Father
