Lis: I'd love to take you on a tour.   Just let me know where you would like to
     begin! 

phantasm: I have been invited to visit the Strawberry Fields in the vicinity of
          the ChocoVat... Perhaps we could start there...

Lis: Just mount my Golden Broom and sit behind me.

The Good Romantic Witch holds the Broom steady as Phantasm gets on....

Lis: The biggest thing to remember is to hang on tight!!  So wrap your arms
     around my waist like this,"

He does.

Lis: Yeah, that's good. Isn't it wonderful!  *wink*

phantasm: Indeed...

Lis: *blush*  Phantasm, you are gonna love taking off on My Golden Broom.
     The initial feeling of flying thru the air so freely is 
     overwhelming, so smile, laugh, scream (but not in my ear), 
     as much as you like, cause here we go....Hang on!!" 

**** Swoooooooooooo-sh ****
    
phantasm: I would smile, or laugh, or scream, but I am waiting for my stomach
          to rejoin us...

Lis: It will catch up with you, trust me.  :-)

phantasm: At this point, do I have a choice?

The GRW and Phantasm fly around through the sky and head
towards the Strawberry Fields and Chocolate Vat.

Lis: Look down there, I think I see it....  We're going to land soon,
     so hang on extra tight! 

phantasm: Does it seem warm up here to you?

The GRW glances over her shoulder at Phantasm and smiles.

Lis: Maybe a little bit!   *wink*  

They encircle the Fields and ChocoVat....waving to the other ARC-ers who
may already be at the ChocoVat....They are too high to see that the area
is empty....Coming in for landing!! 

  *Swoooooo-sh*
   *Ker-Plunk*    :-)
     *cool* 

phantasm: What a ride... I think I will enjoy this tour...

Lis: Yeah?  Oh, that's good.  I was hoping you wouldn't get
     "air-sick" on me!  *whew*   :-)
     So, who is here anyway.... Hmmmmmmmmmm, I don't see anyone
     at the moment.  Looks like the strawberry fields and the
     ChocoVat are ours to explore.

The Good Romantic Witch props her Golden Broom against the light pole.
Her guest looks around in amazement at all of the strawberries, and wanders
over to the Chocovat.

Lis: Surely someone is around here....strange....well, look at all those
     strawberries!!  Wanna pick some and then take them to the
     ChocoVat?  Yummmmmmmmmm!!

Standing up from the edge of the ChocoVat, phantasm turns to respond. He finds
himself more dizzy from the GRW's fantastic ride than he had first thought,
and as he opens his mouth to respond, he slowly topples backwards into the
rich, dark chocolate. His eyes widen in surprise, and he makes not a sound
as he hits with a quiet smack and sinks into the liquid. The GRW turns about,
but can find no sign of phantasm.

Lis: Phantasm, Yooooo-hooooo, where are you?  Where did you go?

Several thoughts go through phantasm's mind as he sinks deeper into the
warmth of the ChocoVat... Will I get in trouble for this? Will I be able to
clean my clothes? If I just stay here, will the GRW go elsewhere to look for
me, letting me escape with my dignity? Tempting, but as I am enjoying her
company...

The chocolate is sticky, but phantasm's Spirit is Air, so he rises to the
surface and looks for the Good Romantic Witch. And just his luck, she is right
there watching him as he emerges.

Sigh...
