Okay, back it up one cherry-picking minute. I’m [i]Rinley Yatskaya.[/i] I can sniff out the joy in someone’s heart when they sing its song, and you know what? Sessily puts her whole heart into her dancing! I’d rather have Sessily as my dance partner than a dozen handsome boys with perfect rhythm, so there! And that is why we’re doing this together as [i]Scheherazade and Dinazad, Warrior Princesses![/i]

(Caroline told me their stories to help me get to sleep when I was little and missed Mom. Two sisters with an unbreakable bond, fighting ghuls and evil viziers and creepy old magicians, all told in flashback as Scheherazade won them a stay of execution every night from the wicked King Boney! I don’t think we ever got all the way to the thousand and first night, but that’s okay. I think it’s better that we never ended them. If I close my eyes, I’m in King Boney’s underwater castle, with Dinazad dangling over the lobster pit, and another story to tell...)

The only problem is trying to figure out what the perfect costuming choices are, and how to get Dulcinea to help us with our animatronic giant snake (specifically, the part where it doesn’t exist yet), so we’re digging through the stacks at Party Warhouse (the E fell down years ago) trying to find some jackets that would look right with paste jewels glued on, but secretly? I’m trying to find the perfect gift for Dulcinea to bribe her! I can always use a clean hankie as a veil, but an animatronic snake is [i]essential[/i] for “Follow: 1001 Visions Adventure,” and I need my number to be perfect.

Because I made sure to leave flyers all over the shrine, especially plastered on the coffee maker and the wall outside Caroline’s room. With the date circled. She’s totally going to come out of her room and leave the shrine, for once, even if she does it cradling a cup of coffee and wearing an evilish witchy robe over her tank top. She’s going to get to see me do something cool. A celebration of bedtime stories and sisterhood and giant snakes!!

That’s why I am going to find the perfect Dulcinea bribe. It will be flawless, and Dulcineaey, and I will have the only one, and she will throw herself around my ankles and beg me, Rinley Yatskaya, to give it to her, and I’ll look down and say, “After you build the giant snake.” And then I’ll laugh like this: nyahaha, nyahaha, nyahahahaha!!!

[Will 2 + Dulcinea Bond 1 = Intention 3 to [i]find the Perfect Dulcinea Bribe in the stacks at Party Warhouse.[/i]]
