The Dragon Prophecy - Don't Embarrass Me!

It was five o' clock on a Friday evening in Austin and I couldn't wait to leave the office. I was looking forward to a peaceful weekend at home relaxing in front of the fire with a good book. I could just picture myself in my favorite pawchair.... Oh, excuse me. I haven't introduce myself! My name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton. I am the publisher of The Rodent's Gazzette, the most famouse newspaper on Mouse Island.

Anyway, as I was saying, that evening I was about to turn off my computer and stop working when...the phone rang. At that exact instant, my cell phone began playing my latest squeaktone. I had thirty-five text massages in my in-box! Then the fax machine started spitting out sheets of paper all over my room. copyright protection353ＰＥＮＡＮＡvegCyuO3WZ

And the computer began shrieking like my cheeseball the clown alarm clock with the volume set on Hysterical. Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep! I glanced at the screen. Holy cheese! I had received fifty-seven new emails! What was going on? I grabbed my phone, hoping to solve the mystery. Rats! It was my grandfather William Shortpaws. Nine times out of ten Grandfather calls only to yell at me. copyright protection353ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05n0IHh4He

This time heshouted "Grandson, you better be ready for the grand opening! Don't embarrass me!" copyright protection353ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxnyJ2LFN1

Grand opening? I had no idea what Grandfather was talking about. Then my cell phone rang again. copyright protection353ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv5oLK0OJh

It was my sister, Thea. "Hey, Gerry Berry! Let me know if you need a photographer for the grand opening!" she squeaked before she hung up. Grand opening? I had no idea what Thea was talking about. copyright protection353ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBv1lHmW4F

I decided to go through my email. After all, I had fifty-seven messages! The first was from my cousin Trap. copyright protection353ＰＥＮＡＮＡV92jo0NSrH

Grand opening? I had no idea what Trap was talking about. I started to read my text massages, but I didn't get past the first one. It was from Petunia Pretty Paws. copyright protection353ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xZGiy5y0Y

"G, Good luck organizing the grand opening. See you there!" it read. copyright protection353ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDrrmlmhNd

I had no idea what Petunia was talking about, but just thinking about her made me Smile. She's smart and kind and funny and pretty and...copyright protection353ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hpj0t5zSN

Without even realizing it, I started to doodle her name over and over on a price of paper.copyright protection353ＰＥＮＡＮＡde92u5lGrx
