Short Stories.

Lapin de Minuit as an excentric rabbit with exquisite taste in all the pretty things.She lives in Glowglueland,where the streets smell like babypowder and sidewalk are made out of green emeralds.

She and her friend Kiki own a little perfume factory and together they create unique , brave and wonderful things.

Kiki is a dog , his hair is the color of caramel and cappuccino and highlights kissed by the sun.

Glowglueland is a beautiful, peaceful and happy place , everybody there works in their own little unique shops and they are very curageous and friendly.

On a sunny afternoon in June , Lapin and Kiki started working on their new perfume ; they chopped and added to their mixture : Honeysuckle- a reminder that promises come true, Damascus rose- a reminder that we must not be afraid of the things we do not know,Pink and Black Pepper - as a promise of the light,Sandalwood - as a reminder for strenght,Sweet Vanilla -as a reminder of their friendship.

And the last ingredient they wanted to add was Saffron - a reminder of uniqueness.

Lapin looked into the Saffron jar and said : '' - Oh, no Kiki ! We are out of Saffron, but i will go and i will get it and then we can finish our creation!''

They were both excited but never imagined what was about to happen . So by the night Lapin left in her pink Cadillac after Saffron .

The next day , the sun was shinning and 5 little birds came to Kiki's window to wish him a great day , the little birds had pastel colored wings and their names were : Luna,Florentine,Lola,Bijoux and Maurice. They woke Kiki up and said : '' - Hello Kiki our dear friend, shall we join you for tea before we start our day ? ''

Maurice added : ''- Let's go wake Lapin up too , i can't wait to see her latest creation!''

Kiki said : '' - Lapin left last night after Saffron, but she must be back and sleeping in her room, let's all go there! ''

They all went into Lapin's room and to their surprise she wasn't there. Florentine said : '' Oh no Kiki! Something is wrong , Lapin should be back by now,maybe she got lost, let's all go looking for her!''

Kiki went to the beach to ask if someone saw Lapin coming into Glowglueland in her pink Cadillac. Strolling down the beach he saw the noble pelican Harrods , Harrods was very mannered yet he was forgetful and sassy.

Kiki approched Harrod the pelican , Harrods raised his eyebrow,coverd his beak with one of his wings and looked at Kiki and asked : '' - Cuál es tu nombre?''

Kiki looked at Harrods smiling and relpyed : '' Mi nombre es Kiki!'' Harrods raised his brow and asked : “ You speak spanish little Kiki ? ‘’

Kiki replied : ‘’Yes,Mister Harrods,i have learned in school,i like to learn new languages,i can make friends all over Glowglueland!’’

Harrods looked at Kiki and said : ‘’ Very good Kiki, you are a brave boy,now tell me ,hat is that you want?’’

Kiki : ‘’Well Mister Harrods, i can’t find Lapin, and i wonder is you saw her, she left in her pink Cadillac’’

Harrods : ‘’Oh ,yes,yes, the little rabbit, the last time i saw her she was talking to her cousin,Suzi-The-Giraffe’’

Kiki and Luna,Florentine,Lola,Bijoux and Maurice all go to Lapin’s cousin , Suzi-The-Giraffe.

Suzi-The-Giraffe had a little music and beauty studio she was passionat about all that was good and beautiful.

Suzi was putting make-up on her eyelashes,she was known in Glowglueland for her fabulous eyelashs and her funny wit.

Maurice saw her eyelashes first and said out loud : ‘’Oh my! Exquisit!’’

They all gatherd in Suzi’s studio and told them about Lapin,Suzi interrupted them and said : ‘’ My little pastelicious friends! You shouldn’t be worried , Lapin surley isn’t far away , let’s all go and look for her !’’

Kiki and Suzi-The-Giraffe took their bikes and Luna,Florentine,Lola,Bijoux and Maurice followed them into the woods of Glowglueland. They were looking everwhere and yelling : “ Lapin,Lapin ,have no fear we are here!’’

All of a sudden they heard : ‘’Guys! I’m here,i’m stuck!’’

Suzi immediatly was on the top tip of her hooves so she can see where Lapin was.Suzi turned to the left and she and Lapin saw each other and both said : ‘’Cousin!”

They all went to Lapin to help her with the stuck car,they gatherd sticks and put them under the wheels.

Lapin told them how she got stuck in the mud but couldn’t leave the car because she knew that if she did that she wouldn’t remember how to get back to the car ,so she tried for hours to get out of the mud,but she also knew that eventally her friends would come looking for her.

The car was full of Saffron and they other beautiful tiny flowers.After they got the Pink Cadillac out they all returned to Glowglueland and went to prepare Lapin and Kiki’s latest creation,they worked really hard for hours to get the best formula ,and Suzi started baking a lemon cake with Baby’s Breath Flowers and Spring Cherry’s tea for their celebration.

After the work was done they all gatherd in the garden and had cake and tea and talked names and ideas for the new perfume .
