A Search for Surf Buddies
Only full chapters of odd ones can be posted (mine) and chapter summaries for even numbers are provided. My friend does not feel that she needs to pub her material on here. *grins* Sorry for inconvenience.
Called away from snowy Alberta to sunny Perth, my little voyage downunder soon proves to be much more than I had planned it to be!
Chapter Two - Alas! Upon arrival in Australia, we discover that our missing surf buds are indeed none other than Orli and Heath! Dinner out with Elsie seems to be the only way to discover the truth to our shady trip . . .
Chapter Three - A Startling Discovery
When purchasing a lot of doggy kibble, a renegade limo nearly kills me and its occupants seem to be filled with the answer to our very problems . . . Doggy kibble all over Perth!
Chapter Four - Aboard the cruise ship, we spy two very shady characters and decide to trek after them for a bit ship board . . . could they be who we are looking for?
Chapter Five - Bag Lady's Revenge
Caught by Orli and Heath spying on them, a karaoke challenge is quickly issued to quell the charges . . . A mixture of cannonballs, Beetles, and fifty two orange swimsuits . . . a shipload of fun!
Chapter Six - Heath the ol' Aussie takes us surfin' and of course, Orli makes a complete fool of himself and is dubbed our friendly seal 'Orfie.' Getting back at the Aussie isn't that difficult as Orli soon pretends to be the thing Heath fears the most . . . a shark! Running up the surf and splashing on clean beaches, the fun, of course can not last!
Chapter Seven - Many Orange Things
Orfie ensures that he will be avenged and low and behold, ends up getting our favorite Aussie hauled off by Malaysian terrorists! What could be worse? A chorus with the Canadian PM? What next? Arranging deck chairs to read 'ORLI' from above? All this in more . . . and MORE SWIMSUITS!
Chapter Eight - Our favorite PM is assassinated by a mysterious woman . . . after a bit of snooping, it turns out not to be our favorite waitress Jen, but alas, who is it to be? Orli finds that mountains are very attractive as well as the fact that he can not speak any Afrikaans dispite all his claims. Who is that mysterious woman and why would she murder our PM? Find out in the next segment of . . . SURF BUDDIES!
Chapter Nine - Not Quite the Caribbean!
Only a few days away from the promise land of New Zealand, Orli gets a little 'zealous' and DeGroot, of course, holds the short end of the stick. As if that's not enough, certain guests come aboard our now infamous cruise with only one taget in mind. A certain Brit's 39 piece gold cat collection. Of course, he will not let go of it . . . . pirates and more!
Chapter Ten - Two Old People, Two New People, and Dinner - After Orli's gold cats are found once again by a bunch of very inexperienced pirate hunters, and the criminals put to justice - we hold our final Karaoke competition and low and behold, Orli was hiding something! He was actually a great singer! We were stuck with offering them dinner, and although we parted ways, we knew that we would meet again, all too soon . . .
Chapter Eleven - Manchester . . . Here We Come!
When Heath decides to take his niece Maddie to tour England, what better way to do it than with your own very private starry friend? Of course, Orli has to bring his *beach themed* jet and decides to drag us all along and insists that it will be fun. Fun? Between fly fishing, kiwi bobbling and Oscar statuette hunting, it is the start of a new trip to remember.
