A Note from the Author...

Unfortunately I feel the time has come for me to stop writing Fluff's blog, that's not to say I won't ever pick up from where I left off. My decision comes after realising that, while I love Fluff, I'm no longer enjoying writing this blog... I'm forcing myself to post and the writing is suffering as a result. I'm also studying Creative Writing at university which means much of my time is taken up by reading and writing that needs to be done for class.

While it may be the end of Fluff and her friends (for now at least), it isn't the end of me! I am in the process of setting up a 'creative non-fiction' blog, which I will be co-writing. I'll post a link and once "Confessions of" is up and running. I'll also be setting up a blog following my writing progress, from the novel I am starting (using NaNo as a kick start though it hasn't worked in the past), to work for my degree.

Thank you to everyone who read and enjoyed this blog!

Minty Fresh

I'm back at school now, I had a great time at home! Iggy was very busy most of the time I was there so I spent a lot of my time in the garden with Mr S. and The Sheep, Minty. Minty still doesn't do much except eat grass but he is lovely and soft. Mr S. helped me to eat the Marmite crisps, they were a bit chewy but quite tasty considering they were well past the use by date.

I have my flying exam again during the week, I hope I pass. Spike wants me to come with him to floor 513, he's sure there is something odd about the level but can't quite work out what it is.

The school is still very quiet and Octavia is driving Spike mad, worst of all it seems she can't even remember what happened to her while she went missing.

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of the mystery soon.

Floor 213 and Other Very Bad Ideas...

Floor 213 was exactly where it was meant to be, always a good thing. I had a hunt around but there was nothing unusual, 12 doors along a corridor the same as the other levels. The end wall had a very nice dragon painted onto it (other levels are rather plain) but a painting never hurt anyone.

I'm afraid to say I got rather carried away with my exploration and didn't hear the sound of claws clicking along the flagstones until it was too late. Luckily for me it wasn't a teacher who had discovered me, unfortunately it was Octavia. After several minutes of interrogating me she decided to hang around and I haven't been able to get her to leave me alone since.

The next idea I had was to track down the source of the mysterious noise... which I still haven't heard. It didn't occur to me that you can't track a noise you can't hear, until I discovered what I assumed was it. Strange as it was there was nothing mysterious about it, it turned out to be cook honeydew snoring and she gave me a very long lecture about sneaking up on creatures when they are sleeping before returning to her cooking. This, I feel, would be a very good explanation for the charred dinners.

Tonight I am off to explore lower down, I want to try and reach floor 513 at least! Will have to give Octavia the slip, she's becoming rather annoying now. She still won't tell me what happened to her.

Got to go, I'm not meant to be in the Communication centre this late.

Fluff was right?!?

This is the first time I've been at the school without Fluff or Ruby. Everyone seems to have gone home. There are good and bad sides to this. With no one here I get more freedom, oh and there's no one patrolling the lower corridors. It also means there is plenty of Honeydew's cooking to go round... definitely not a good point!

I went for a bit of wander around the school yesterday... OK I was being nosey and trying to see what areas I could get away with exploring. I won't explain exactly how I came to overhear Sulfire and another dragon talking (because I would probably get into a lot of trouble... and I don't want others to copy me), but I did. They were saying something about the dungeons being on level 1313 which means that a) you would have a lot of stairs to go down (could explain the missing engineers?) and b) it is a very dangerous floor to be on (floors with 13 in seem to like travelling). They were also talking about a strange sound (I haven't heard anything odd yet) and Sulfire was actually sounding quite worried.

I have to say, I'm starting to think Fluff was right, something is definitely going on. I'm going to start my detective work on floor 213... if it's there...

Pink Dragon Down

The exam was a complete disaster! Spike, of course, passed his easily but I still can't stay off the ground for long. My wings have a mind of their own, nothing can control them. While attempting to perform a loop (it looked more like a headstand) I nearly knocked myself out on the floor. We have to pass basic flight before we can start level 2 and I can't even do half of it.

I have 2 weeks holiday before I have to come back for summer flying lessons. That means I get 2 weeks with Iggy... I'm so excited! Tabitha may be able to visit for a few days too. I wonder what Mr S has been up to, I hope the sheep didn't get him.

Got to get myself ready for the P.B.T. home.

Seeya soon

The Curse of the Missing Engineers...

3 months ago a couple of rather worried looking engineers arrived at the school to fix the heating system. They haven't been seen since. I know the smell from down there was bad, but I don't think it would be enough to knock them out for that long. The worst part of it is they didn't even fix anything, it still smells awful! I heard a couple of the teachers complaining about the cost of the call out fee, £20 an hour for 3 months and counting... it's good job the school has a Treasure Hall.

I'm going to have to go down there and take a look myself, Spike will probably come too. First of all I have to get through my end of year flying exam tomorrow... I need a miracle for that.

Fluffy is such a girl!

Honestly, she is a total girl. As soon as she hears about anything odd, she immediately thinks it's going to be an adventure. Everybody knows that DeathClaw doesn't exist, I mean come on, he'd be like absolutely ancient by now. Can't you just imagine it? "Oh my fiery breath, it's DeathClaw... Run! Oh wait, don't panic, he's forgotten his dentures."

I'm a firm believer the kitchens are down there, which would account for the awful smell. (If cook Honeydew reads this I am soo dead.)

Before I go, I just want to say thanks to Fluff for letting me post here!
