Quinterelis

Making up stories has been one of my favorite pasttimes... When I used to babysit, I'd tell kids any story with any character. I've missed making them up, so I decided to write all of you one tonight! Enjoy the story about the purple mouse I like to call-Quinterelis.

Once upon a time there was a purple mouse named Quinterelis. Quinterelis lived in a teeny tiny hole located in the peach colored kitchen of the little old grandma of Little Red Riding Hood. One day, after a Big Bad Wolf had been thrown out, Quinterelis was scouting the tile floor for cookie crums or a little wedge of cheese. He rounded the corner of the antique wooden table and came to a stop at the table leg. There she was. A beautiful, soft pink mouse named Twindy-Loo. Twindy-Loo and Quinterelis had once gone to "How to Avoid Deadly Mousetraps" school together. She had sat in front of him, and he had almost failed the final exam when she had twitched her tail at him as he was trying to deny the cheese on the trap. He'd almost been snapped in two that day... literally from the mousetrap and then again as his his heart broke right down the middle as she left school with Rudolphus Rat. Quinterelis had thought he would never see her again! And now there she was, right in front of him once again, nibbling on a piece of two day old swiss cheese. With a strong determination, Quinterelis lifted his chin and marched towards Twindy-Loo. Unfotunately, he didn't see the smidgen of slippery jello on the floor and manged to step square on top of it. He flailed his arms and tried to catch his balance, but to his horror, the jello stuck to his foot and he slid right into the lady mouse of his dreams. Twindy-Loo gasped in fright and skittered off to the other side of the kitchen. Quinterelis sat in a heap of tangled tail and 4 legs pointing every which way. Twindy-Loo turned and instead of screaming, she started giggling, then burst out laughing, rolling on her stomach trying to stop the fit of glee she had begun. Quinterelis started to blush, turning his purple fur to a deep magenta. He untangled himself and stalked off to the corner of the kitchen where his hole was located. Twindy-Loo finally got ahold of herself and ran to Quinterelis just as he reached the opening of his hole. She squeaked her "I'm sorries" and Quinterelis quickly forgave her. They went into Quinterelis' teeny tiny little hole and lived happily ever after.
