Chapter 3

Sorry for taking so long to update. But I'm back! With a chapter, no less! To anyone who still reads this, thanks, y'all are great!

Why, oh why, did I get stuck in the calm plains? I guess I'll have to slither out somehow… but there aren't any serpenters around. Maybe… just maybe…

I suppose I could try to help the folks from the calm plains, and, if I come across a serpenter before I manage to fix anything, horrible place that this is, I could taste my way out of this situation.

Knock. How droll. "What are you doing out there, it's not like you Calm Plainers give me any privacy anyways? Just calm in."

I just want to be Dee Vee Aunt, to just be ordinary – well, I suppose that's the problem – I'm not my mother. But why, oh why would that end me up here, in this stuffy, horrid place, just complaining? There has to be a way out.

At any rate, maybe there's something I can do around here. It's probably terrible, but let's see.

"You smell awful, Ms. Vee. Seriously, the stench was terrible before I even opened the door. Haven't you ever heard of a shower? It's –"

"Well, I'm sorry, but none of you Calm Plainers ever showed me where the shower is," I just can't let Hay Ter go on like that. Why Blea Ter ever married her is a mystery to me. The woman reeks of unpleasantness.

"You didn't give us much of a chance, since you were so tired, Ms. Vee."

"Call me Dee, Miss Ter you make me feel old and wrinkly and so ordinary calling me Ms. Vee."

"It's Mrs. Ter, Miss Ter makes me feel like my husband's sister. That's her—" pointing to a picture of what looked like Blea Ter and another man. Is she for real?

No time like the present to deal with the unpleasant woman, I suppose. After all, I don't want to know what an angry Calm Plainer looks like.

"Yes, Mrs. Ter. And is there anything else I ought to do before you grace me with your lovely presence again."

"Not at all, Dee, unless you'd like to stick that attitude up your arse as well."
