A traumatic tale...

by Michele & Sherene

It was a normal Tuesday (2/21/06), Sherene came home from class and headed to the gym for her physical re-test & Low-Impact Aerobics... Michele headed to the gym from work also for her re-test and made it on time for Cardio variety sculpt class.

After a satisfying workout for both girls... they headed home and made dinner. After eating, they both sat down to watch American Idol while channel flipping back and forth to see the Olympic women's ice skating short program. Current time... 8:15 p.m.

Both Michele & Sherene were seated on the nice big red sofa couch watching the program when about 8:55 p.m. they caught something moved out of the corner of their eyes. Under the small crack of the basement door, a brown furry creature attempted to rush out to the living room... AAAaaaHHhhhhh....... shrieked both Michele & Sherene while they both immediately jumped up on the red couch. Their loud high-pitched screams made that icky disgusting brown furry creature to head back under the basement door. It was.... a.... MOUSE!!!

NOOOoooooooOOooooo.... it cannot be!!!

Imagine the girls' fear and fright for their lives as they did not know what to do. Lucky for them, their cell phones were at arms length... both girls reached hard for their phones while still standing tall on the shoulders of the red couch in frantic and attempts of calling for HELP were made. First 911 attempt made by both girls was to geta hold of Chee Ming... (where the heck were you?!?!!) . Sad to say and still in a mad panic... the girls could NOT get a hold of their usual Hero.... well, hero no more after that night.

Both girls had their eyes fixated at the bottom of the basement door, fearing for what may be another attempt of furry yucky brown creature coming up to the living room... the next 911 call was made. Sherene called Peter, the boyfriend.... Michele called Nancy, Peter's mother. So much for calling the boyfriend who just said... get a towel to stuff the door crack. Now, we were so terrified to step off the couch... so much to even move anywhere off the couch to retrieve a towel from upstairs. Michele got a hold of Nancy and was trying to relay her the frightful event. Unfortunately, with Michele and Sherene's blubbering and high-pitched screaming while crying in explaining the situation, Nancy could not comprehend what the whole commotion was about.

AAAAaaaHHHhHhhhhh.... sighting number #2... DAMN #&#*&^% mouse... this went on until sighting #8.. that darn pest was very insistent on coming up to watch the women's figure skating and american idol with us girls. Both girls dialed more numbers for help....

Michele called Lori, Scotty, Tim, Joe, Mike #1 and Mike #2... screaming at mouse sightings, crying and yelling for help stimutaneously...

The same goes for Sherene who called Scotty.. left a mesagge which was undecipherable to him who in turn called Michele back on her cellphone.

Sherene called Trevor, (who almost made it out of his door, but Sherene changed her mind - she needed someone to be there QUICK and fast!! Thanks for the offer Trevor!), then she called Mary to voice her plight for help. She later contacted Wojtek and begged for him to get over here. Thank you for coming with Prasanna and Sharon... but thank you nots for laughing over the phone and caught no mouse!!! Thank you nots also for not bringing Matt's gun over... drastic moments calls for drastic measures!

In fear for the lives... and sanity... both girls were still sat perched on the shoulder of the couch...
The time now: 9:50 p.m. Boom Boom Booom.....

AAAAAaaaaaHhhhhHhhhh...... huh?! NO MOUSE... it was the door.... *phew...

SAVIOR #1 = Scotty arrived with two mouse traps in hand. Even if he had no solution to the problem.. the fact that there was a MAN in the house.. no furry creature would dare come up from the basement. Scotty went down to the basement to check while brave Sherene climbed down the couch to retreive a towel from upstairs and to close the basement door after Scotty went down the basement.

BOom Boom Boom... AAAAAAaaaHHhhhhh...... doesn't anyone use the doorbell anymore?!! Stop banging on the front door and ring the blardy bell!!!

SAVIOR #2 & #3 arrived... Wojtek & Prasanna. Sharon who brought them to our place... jumped up on the couch with Michele who has been on the couch all this while.

While the guys went down the basement in search of the little devil... both girls were very relieved to gain some sanity and security back. After all that screaming, yelling, crying and terror... both girls went to bed after the saviors left.

If you wish to pick the girls brain on their horrendous experience.. you know which numbers to dial to get them to recant their tales.... we both say, NO to MOUSE!!

The End...
