The nice flower lady named Penny wrapped me cautiously in the bubbly blanket and placed me gently into the box.  She said, "Kazu, think of something nice to dream about, and shut your eyes and go to sleep....when you wake up you will be by a lake in the Ozarks, at a place where you will have great adventure!"  

So I shut my eyes and thought of Hana!  Has is really been almost one year since Tomitake sent us on our separate journeys?   How I miss her beautiful yellow face!  Then the sleep came, as Penny said it would, and I began to dream....

I sensed Hana's presence, but it was so confusing.  I was riding a Great Moose through the mountains and calling her name... Hana!  Hana! Where are you my darling?

The next thing I knew, the Moose was gone, and I was naked, totally surrounded by Snickers that smelled of cat.  It could only mean one thing... Hana is in great danger!  I must wake up from this nightmare so that I can save my one true love!  

Stay tuned......
