Xena: Chia, get out of my way. I have to get ready for the tea party. Hmm, I might have to take a bath. *sniff*. Nope, Mommy will have to help me get my face washed, though. Oh dear, what should I wear?
Chia: Hey Xeboo, why are you stressing over this?
Xena: I don’t know why Cheeboo.
Chia: (with a shocked expression). Xeboo, why did you call me that?
Xena: You’ll figure it out, Cheeboo. Anyhow, I think I should find my princess crown…Mommy, where’s my crown? Oh! It’s in my clothing drawer. Let’s see, what else…
Chia: Can I help you, Xena?
Xena: *wagging tail* Sure, Chia. And maybe next year you’ll be old enough to be invited, too!
87 minutes later:

I’ve got my crown and teacup and am ready to go. Come on with me, friends, to the Tea Party of the year at Zoolatry!
We’ll see you there! Teddy is excited and since he’s never been to a tea party I told him to be extra polite, not to nap the entire day away as he does at home, and to make sure and thank his hostess with the mostest for a GRAND time!
Hugs, Pam (and Teddy)

Found, safe & sound, so Lucy could now seek out a handsome gent at a quiet table to share tea with … and little Chia, well, not sure. You: beautiful Princess Xena, while a prince was looking all over for you, found that secret cottage … and there, another story began …
