Grace and Phoebe! Book 3: Love is in the Air

Chapter 2: Thinking about the Future

      As Grace pulled the car into the driveway of her house, the "dogs" in the backseat began to bark and howl with excitement that the long ride home was over.  Their trip to the Himalayas had been a pretty good one, considering that they got to bring Tolf home with them.

       Tolf would discover what it would be like to have a home life with an owner that loved him, a girlfriend, and getting food instead of hunting for it.  It was WAY better than his old life in the mountains!

       Phoebe was setting up a ceremony in the kitchen of Grace's house for Tolf's first piece of bacon.  Phoebe was really excited.  She grabbed the bacon, greased the pan, and put the raw meat on the grease.  She then put the bacon slices in the oven an slammed it closed.  She set the timer for half an hour and began to work on the decorations.  There were bacon shaped and scented banners, treat bowls full of bacon bits, and a televison set playing THE BACON CHANNEL.  The party was going to be amazing!

       Phoebe led Tolf into the kitchen with a blindfold on.  When she allowed him to take it off his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets with surprise.  

       "Happy first bacon!" Grace came out and exclaimed.  She was wearing a bacon costume.  "Phoebe," she whispered.  "Do I have to do this?"

       "Duh, of course you have to do it, it's his first bacon!" Phoebe offensively whispered back.

       Tolf was stuffing his face with bacon bits, bacon slices, bacon flavored treats, bacon sandwiches, and even bacon flavored water.  He looked so happy!  He began watching THE BACON CHANNEL while eating his bacon bits like they were popcorn.

       "Are you kidding me!" Grace screamed.  "Who would watch a channel dedicated to watching a piece of bacon sit on a plate!  Why would there even be a TV show for that!!??"

       Phoebe frowned at Grace and said, "You don't understand the pure acting skills of that piece of bacon that is streamed every week!"

       "Every week?" Grace exclaimed.  "They never switch out pieces of bacon!?  It has to be all rotten and moldy!!!"

       "Did you forget that it takes years for a piece of bacon to be unedible?" Phoebe asked.  "That's why all the cowboys ate bacon and beans, they lasted longer and didn' t need to be cooked!"

       The argument had come up in flames.  Phoebe and Tolf stayed in the kitchen watching THE BACON CHANNEL and eating bacon, while Grace sat in her room screaming into a pillow.

       "I think we should get married when we're oldler," Tolf said.  "You know cement the relationship."

       "We're just 16!" Phoebe exclaimed.  "We don't need to focus on the future, we need to focus on making horrible decisions that will affect us for the rest of our lives!"

       "I don't think we should do THAT," Tolf said.  "I think we should plan a wedding to have when we are 18!"

       "Ok, fine!" Phoebe agreed that would be great!"

       Tolf began sketching out plans for the wedding while Phoebe demolished what was left of the bacon.  

       Tolf's sketches consisted of bacon banners, bacon songs, bacon bride dresses and groom tuxedos, and bacon wedding cake, it would be perfect!  THE BACON CHANNEL filmed true bacon fans at bacon celebrations, weddings, and other parties, maybe he could ask them to film at their wedding.

       Tolf made the phone call to THE BACON CHANNEL.
