at the last second one of his LEVER guys jumped into the road & pushed Horton out of the way and took the hit from the Rainbow bus Uncle was driving.....Horton lay on the edge of the road in a crumpled mess as he saw one of his "men" under the bus....He couldn't believe his eyes....the one loyal minion he had....got thrown under the bus....

Horton was in pain and unsure of the condition of his one loyal minion but all he could think of now was trying to get out of there before the police, ambulances and film crews showed up. He crawled into nearby bushes and watched. As he watched, he saw the news people interviewing several of his LEVER members but couldn't hear what they were saying. Now he knew he had to.............

get in contact with everyone to let them know that he is in the process of changing ISP's and will be on and off the "air" for the next 24 - 48 hrs while he changes his "stuff" over...... The severely injured and humiliated Horton will soon be back stronger and faster as soon as he can get the overly slow LEVER techs and the real tech (who is right next to Horton with eyes as big as saucers) to finish installing his new gazillion gigameg router / modem................ Horton reaches for the switch.................



Serious...... not sure how long this is going to take... Horton is many things, but computer literate is not very high on the list.....

 

[liblue1]

Liblue was searching around for Horton as she was concerned about his well being...She may have not liked the way he was and some of the things he did....but she never wanted him to get injured.....(after all she had a thing for him just the other day).....She knew he must have gotten hurt after the bus hit him.....but he was no where to be found.......

2 Liblue felt miserable. She didn't realize that Horton meant more to her than just a casual fling. She also didn't know if she could tell anyone about her feelings for Horton. She really needed time to think about all of this. She .........

suddenly jumped up and squealed with delight. There was the extremely handsome and modest Horton standing in the doorway in his freshly dry cleaned tutu looking healthy and "hunky" as ever. "Where have you been my hunk-a-hunk-a burning vaping desire" Liblue said through sobs of joy? Horton explained what happened post injury and the humiliation he suffered through trying to get his very complex fire breathing systems running again properly. He also explained that changing ISP's is not for the faint of heart and luckily Horton had no heart (oops, that just slipped out) so nothing mattered to him. Liblue was so enamored with Horton she didn't even hear that last comment.... whew.
The romantic (yeah, right) Horton knelt down and looked up into Liblue's green eyes and .....................

took Liblue's hand and kissed it tenderly. Then he looked back into her eyes and said, "Blue.... will you marry me?" Liblue was at a loss for words and suddenly felt the urge to run and run she did.

 

[liblue1]

As far and fast away as she could.....what on earth was she thinking??? This is Horton...the baddest "bad" guy around....and she was one of the "good" guys.....She could cut off his head and not even blink an eye.....No....not this.....this is not possible......but maybe....

deep down Liblue knew she was only deceiving herself..... There was no way in Creation she could resist Horton's charms and scaly skin. He after all was the king of evil vapers and the "main man" of LEVER. Being with Horton would make Liblue a princess or queen (someone help me out here....princesss or queen -- I'm never sure) All of her childhood dreams would be realized as she jetted around the world with the very world wise and well traveled Horton. (He even gave her 15 gazilliontrillion of his frequent vaping miles to use.)
Yes, she could slay Horton because he let his guard down near her due to her charming manner, but how would she live with herself if she indeed offed the loving Horton. "What to do, what to do????" thought Liblue..... Why had her life become such a complex quagmire of evilness??
In the other room a radio was playing inspirational vaping songs and talking juice -- mainly she was hearing Ravi on the Sitar. Someone turned up the volume and Liblue began ..........

to hypnotically sway with the music. She managed to put all thoughts of Horton out of her mind and just immerse herself in the music. Then the phone rang and brought her back to reality. It was Sashim calling to make sure everything was alright with Liblue since everyone noticed her absence and were worried that something may have happened to her. Liblue calmed Sashim and told her..........

 

[liblue1]

That everything was alright...there was just some personal things that needed attending to......but that she would be there at the meeting in the morning without a doubt.....Liblue (AKA Xena) was ready to take on the world.....all thoughts/feelings of "Horton" were gone now and she was back to her normal self.....She felt stronger and better after the musical interlude...

Now all she needed was sleep, peaceful sleep but just as she was about to drift off, an unusual noise caught her attention. She opened her eyes only to .........

see Horton back lit by a lovely pastel coral pink light. He was as they say "dressed to the nines" ready to sweep Liblue off her feet and make her his LEVER queen. She tried to tell Horton she wasn't interested in him any longer, but the more she talked the less convinced she was. Oh my, what was happening to Liblue and her resolve to resist the irresistible Hoton. All her plans were crashing down and no one was near to help her. Horton began to grin and show his perfect set of pearly whites (Horton always prided himself on good dental hygiene). Liblue continued to struggle with herself and try to control her urge to run away with Horton. Her cell phone rang and she tried to reach for it and the next thing................

she knew, her hand was in Horton's. She felt this tingle go through her body that made her completely forget about the ringing cell phone for a moment. Then realizing what was happening, her initial feelings were over come by resolve that quickly turned to anger. How dare he sneak into my room and presume that his charm would work on me. How dare he think that I would join him just because he dressed well and had nice teeth! How self centered he was! I am only a conquest, a mere pawn in his game and I refuse to fall for it, Liblue thought as she grabbed her sabre from under her pillow and ...........

 

[liblue1]

drew it from it's sheath.....the glowing light from the saber showed Horton's white teeth and for a moment to her they looked like fangs...but then they seemed to beautiful & perfect to her....as she held up the light Horton backed away....he stumbled over Liblue's shoes that were carelessly thrown on the floor along with all of the clothes she was wearing last night...as the phone rang again it appeared to pull her out of the spell.....as she grabbed for it again.....Horton seemed to disappear.....She answered the with a slow groggy "hello"....

 

[wvducklady]

"Hi, Liblue1? "
"Yes, this is her"
"We are selling vacation tickets, and was wondering if you were interested?.....,
As they rambled on, lilblue thought to herself that this was the only time a telemarketer actually called at the right time. If they had not called who knows what might have happened.

Indeedy deedy do.... the ever so sly and crafty Horton had faded into the woodwork, so to speak. But, he was still there listening to Liblue talk to the telemarketer. She was an easy mark -- she was lapping up the information and quickly handed over her financial info to a complete stranger. Horton knew at once that he should get her cell number to the LEVER Evil Marketing Team (EMT) so they could start calling her and sell her gallons of evil juice for highly inflated prices. Plus, Horton would be able to call Liblue and coo to her over the phone and whisper little nothings to her and just mess with her fragile emotions. (What a typical male Horton was turning out to be)
Liblue's saber lay on the floor with the power draining out the longer she talked on the phone. It finally went dark and that was the cue for the LEVER assault team to make their move. While she listened to all the wonderful benefits of her "holiday cruise" the LEVER agents slithered into position and...................

at that very moment, Liblue caught movement out of the corner of her eye. Instinctively, she knew this could only be the machinations of Horton and his LEVER minions. She looked around for her light sabre and was horrified for a moment when she saw it laying lifeless on the floor. She could see the LEVER agents creeping ever closer, she had to think fast. All of a sudden, she remembered that she had her Magic Fly Swatter in her purse so..............

she tried to "swat" the LEVER minions, but just like the model Horton bought from Harbor Freight and Salvage, the two "D" sized batteries were dead. "Damnation" thought Liblue, "Why didn't I buy the Lithium Battery swatter for just a few more bucks??" Now Liblue was in a fix as we say in the south. Horton was fixing to so whatever evil things he does to Liblue and she had a swatter and light sabre with dead batteries. (this is why we should all buy name brand batteries)
The LEVER minions now had both the swatter and sabre and Liblue was helpless. She closed her beautiful and alluring blue eyes and said to herself..... "there's no place like ECF, there's no place like ECF" and suddenly ..........

There she was....with all of her "friends" on ECF to help her...They sent someone right over with a new magic device...and a never dying battery...it was a ......
