"Time to go" Laurence called.
"Aaaawww" said everyone, they had clearly enjoyed themselves.
"Come on. Let's go home" Laurence started to fly off the cloud, followed by everyone. They wanted to stay on the fabulous cloud forever.

Drew and Shane finished their dance then followed the others. They had great news to tell everyone. Laurence and Kier led the way (although it really wasn't that hard to find your way from the sky to the ground).

As you already know the sheep had no wool. But during their partying on the cloud, their naked bodies picked up little bits of cloud by accident. Bit by bit the cloud stuck to each sheep as they danced, giving them a wooly coat. The sheep were too drunk to realise at the time but slowly as they became sober and their hangovers had passed, they started commenting on everyone's fresh coat of sheep wool!

"Rise and shine!" Laurence said to the sleepy sheep the next day. The sun was bright and it was warm.
"I feel so happy!!!" one sheep said.
"I've got Sheep fur!!"
"Last night was bae!"
"I actually look attractive!"
"We are free from are curse!"
"Yippeeeee!!!!!"
Everyone was pure buzzin and finally the sheep were happy!!!

You'd think this was the end...

But it's not cause Luke hasn't come in yet...

Weeks went by and the wool seemed to sort of grow into them. Permanently attaching itself to their skin. The weather got warmer as the weeks progressed and they realised they needed it cut. Of course they didn't mind this because it meant they could see their produce at work for once which would be fun.

"How are we going to cut it?" one sheep wailed.
"We're just cuddly animals. We don't have any knives" another joined in.
"Its ok. I know what to do. Another friend of mine will be over this afternoon" said Laurence who was visiting for the day to see how they were getting on. He was now very popular and a role model to all sheep. They were eternally grateful.

Before long they heard some flippery sounding feet coming up a hill. Who could it be?

They were greeted by a dark sensual looking shark. His sharp dagger-like teeth sent shivers down the sheep's spins, his eyes glistening as he looked at them all.
"How may I help you?" he said.
"Eeh..." Drew was speechless.
"This is Luke everyone" Laurence introduced the shark.
"Please to meet you"
"Same to you. Now I've been called up to help with the wool"
"Oh yes! We need someone to help get our coats off and sell them"
"I'm just the shark you're looking for then" and Luke flashed a teethy grin at the goggle-eyed sheep.
"He's gonna use his teeth to cut your coats" Kier giggled, obviously looking forward to this.
"It won't take a minute" Luke approached an innocent looking sheep standing next to Drew.
"How can I trust him! He might eat me!" squeeled the sheep, petrified.
"Oh no oh no! I won't hurt you. Honest" Luke tried to calm the sheep. He saw it whimpering and he patted it gently on the head, soothing it. " I promise this'll be over soon" and Luke skillfully managed to sheer the sheep, the coat coming clean off as he cleverly cut it here and there. Soon the sheep just had a short curly coat, like what any newly sheared sheep looks like.
"Thank you" it said happily, realising how good and kind Luke actually was"
"Anytime. Now. Who's next?" Luke looked around to see tonnes of wooly arms shoot up and cries of "Me Me Me!!" chorus round the countryside. Luke smiled and gradually moved round them all. Once he was done he stepped back and surveyed his work. All the sheep looked smashing.

Drew was the last to be shorn.
"You have very fine wool. How on earth did that happen. You must've had a better time than all the other sheep up there" Luke said, making Drew blush as he remembered the kiss with Shane.
"Thank you" Drew mumbled quietly.
"I'm afraid to say that you're wool is going to have to be separate from the others because it's too precious"
"Oh"
"Don't worry. I know just what to do with you after this" Luke seemed eager to tell Drew about his fortune.
"Ok. Let's do this then" and Luke began, being extra careful in cutting Drews wool than he was for the rest. Once his coat was off, he looked very handsome.
"Don't worry everyone, your beautiful coats will grow back soon enough. Drew will you come with me" Luke turned to face Drew. Drew nodded and followed Luke out as the sheep clapped and cheered for Luke as they went.

"Now. You are in charge of the herd are you not?" Luke stared at Drew.
"Yes I am" Drew replied.
"Would you be interested working with me. We can be partners in the wool business" Drew considered this. It would be very nice to have a proper job rather than just eating grass all day. He could earn millions as the wool business is in very big demand and only highly sophisticated creatures could work there.
"I would love that!" he said.
And so it was settled. Drew moved away to the big city to work with Luke. He would come back in the evenings each night and tell the sheep if his great adventures during the day. Life had never been better!

Drew worked so well selling lots of different herds produce that he moved up to be Chief Wool Master. He sold clothes and items made of wool all over the world. With the help of his new found friend Luke, they became very successful. Drew fulfilled his dream in making clothes for small poor children and he was seen as a hero among many. His own wool was the best in the world and everytime Drew was shorn his priceless wool would be given to kings and queens for millions of pounds. Even the queen of England dedicated a whole ceremony to his fleecy coat.

Luke talked to some important people about Drews name and how it should be changed. They agreed and soon, instead of being Drew Nough, he was now Drew Woolnough! Drew loved the change and preferred it 100 times to his old name.

Drews personnel life also seemed to get endlessly better. He married Shane, and in years to come they would have loads of little Timid children. They were madly in love and nothing could split them apart. I also have to add that Shane and Drew made the best mother and father any child could ask for.

And as for the once grumpy sheep, they had now become happy sunbeams, complimenting everything and always staying positive. Instead of insults, all you could here was;
"Rainbows are goddesses of the sky"
"You smell of honey"
"A smile a day makes everyone live in harmony"
"Jesus is alive"
"I love the world and want to hug it till it shatters into hundreds of heart shapes"
"Christmas everyday"
"Will the clouds marry me?"

And dear old Kier and Laurence carried on helping others and changing the world, one sheep at a time.

And so are story comes to an end. Everybody was now happy thanks to 5 fearless friends. If it wasn't for them it never would've happened. With their teamwork and perseverance the sheep's lives were saved. And now their challenge has been completed and the squad of 5 become the bestest of friends. They later became known as the Fearless Vampire Killers...

So the moral of the story is that if you're ever feeling blue, you can always rely on the wisdom of a panda, and a party in the clouds...
