Subject: The inside of the Dream Tour bus was so strewn with marshmellows,
In reply to: E! Sisters 's message, "THREE TWITS UP A TREE - Part 2" on 19:01:28 10/02/99 Sat

it looked as if it had been hit by a blizzard! Everywhere Stephanie looked, she saw a marshmellow of some size being used in some new, innovative way.

She saw different parts of the bus sectioned off with curtians made of mini-marshmellows strung together. She saw another marshmellow which had been used to try and plug up a mousehole. It did little good, though, because the mouse just eat through it and continued on his way. There were marshmellows that had been crushed then used as glue to hold things down and reattach various broken pieces to each other. They were used to replace missing pot cover handles, two had been fixed to the hands of the wall clock to keep the hands in balance, multicolored marshmellows had been poked on the ends of bar tree branches then placed in a vase for a rather unusual looking table centerpiece. Stephanie noticed as they walked in that one of the marshmellows was even being used as a doorstop.

Steph looked around the room and saw where gigantic groups of marshmellows had been skewered together with toothpicks to make entire pieces of furniture. There was an easy chair and a couch made up entire of marshmellows.

It was on the marshmellow sofa she saw Brenda-Lou sitting a reading a magazine with a fire engine on the cover. Brenda-Lou looked up as the Erin and DJ entered with their fellow twit in tow.

"Sally-May!" Brenda-Lou called out gleefully to the kitchen section of the bus. "They's back 'n they's a-got Stephi with 'im!" She flashed a shining and toothfully incomplete smile to show how glad she was that her fellow E! sister was back safely with the Dream Tour again.

From the rear of the bus, there came the sound of hurried footsteps. Sally-May appeared from behind the mini-marshmellow curtian bearing the only complete set of teeth of anyone else on the bus.

"Land-a-Goshun, chil'! We's a-finally got ya back safe and sound! You'ins jes don't know how a-feared we all was when we found out ya was with them Sheffields. Let me look at ya. Is ya hurt, anywhere's? Them dern ol' Sheffeilds hadn't better have laid a hand on yas or, by thunder, Ah'll. . ."

"No, ya won't 'cuz I'll be a gittin' thar first." exclaimed Dianne rushing up behind Sally to greet the little lost lamb come back to the fold. Dianne was followed closely by Judy-Mae. All three along with Brenda-Lou embraced Stephanie to the point where TT2 was genuinely afraid she'd have to add a set of broken ribs to her ever increasingly long list of injuries and tribulations.

"Sally, my leg kind of stings." Stephanie informed her RA hoping that Sally-May's vast medical knowledge would be able to come up with some relief for this pain Stephanie had been long suffering.

"Yer leg! Them Sheffeilds injered yer leg! Them white trash!" Sally-May cried out.

"This means war!" Dianne followed. "Judy-Mae, git out the shootin' irons!"

"No, no Sally! The Sheffields had nothing to do with it! Honest!" Stephanie said hurriedly and put out a hand to stop Judy from gathering up the various feud instruments. "I somehow hurt it when I went blueberry picking. You see, there was this bear who just wouldn't leave us alone and. . ." She began.

"Ya mean y'ain't got the berries." Dianne interrupted.

"No, the bear now has them." Stephanie informed her.

"Shoot!, Gol dern! and dang it all! Now how'm I gonna make that there blueberry n' marshmeller pie I was a fixin' to have fer desert ta night?" Dianne complained.

"Aw, c'mon back in th' kitchen! We'll a-think a sumtin." Judy-Mae reassured her friend as the two of them disappeared behind the marshmellow curtain.

"Now, ya jes sit right down here next ta Brenda-Lou and lets have a look see at that there leg." Sally-May said helping her beloved rookie down onto the marshmellow couch and pulling up Stephanie's leg.

"Land-a-Goshin! That leg's a-lookin' pretty bad!" Brenda-Lou commented.

"Yes'm, it sure does!" Sally-May agreed. "But it looks like somebody's been a-tendin' it. Stephie, girl how d'ya 'splain this?"

Stephanie hesitated a minute. Remembering what effect the name "Sheffield" had on people here, she wasn't sure she could tell Sally and the others what really happened or spare them the agonizing details. She looked straight into her RA's eyes and decided it was better to tell the truth. She summed up the whole experience in just two words.

"Ma Sheffield." Stephanie replied.

"SHEFFIELD!" the whole room yelled out in astonishment as Stephanie cringed at the predicted reaction.

"They's a-poisoned ya!" Erin called out.

"Probably with rattlesnake venom!" DJ added.

"Dianne, Judy-Mae bring ma bag in here! Quick!" A paniced Sally-May called.

Judy brought out Sally's medicine bag and Sally began to work quickly to neutralize the snake poison oblivious to Stephanie's many, many, MANY tries to explain that while Ma Sheffeild's remedy might have stung a little, it wasn't poison.

No one in the room was listening. Brenda, Sally and Judy were too busy trying to save Stephanie's life that wasn't currently in any danger. Her fellow twits were off in a corner plotting revenge most foul against the Sheffields for the dasterly way they had treated TT2. Dianne was in the kitchen trying to find an adequate substitute for blueberries. The situation was crazy! Stephanie found herself helpless to straighten it out so what else was there to do but sit back, watch and see what else developed out of it all.
