 Castle War

Snowclaw growled and snapped.

Gene said, тАЬI canтАЩt even begin to get my tongue around that.тАЭ

тАЬTo answer your question, IтАЩll probably go back. Gonna be kind of lonely here with you gone. Sure wish
I could go with you.тАЭ

тАЬYou and me both. But youтАЩd raise a few eyebrows in Pasadena тАФ maybe not in L.A., but Pasadena,
yes.тАЭ

тАЬYeah,тАЭ Snowclaw said. тАЬThe last time I went to Earth I really got myself in trouble.тАЭ

Everyone at the table laughed.

Gene said, тАЬThose headlines were great. тАШAbominable Snowman Stalks Western PA.тАЩ And then there
was the story in one of the tabloids: тАШSaucer Lands, Captures Bigfoot.тАЩ Right up there with тАШElvis Alive
and Living in Scarsdale.тАЩтАЭ

тАЬIf you hadnтАЩt come along in that contraption of yours, IтАЩd still be there getting shot at by the locals. IтАЩm
still digging buckshot out of my rear end.тАЭ

тАЬWell, it wasnтАЩt the first time I had to pull your chestnuts out of the fire.тАЭ

тАЬAnd it might not be the last. Wait a minute тАФ it seems to me that I saved your hide once or twice.тАЭ

тАЬJust kidding, big guy. We made a great team, you and me.тАЭ

тАЬYeah, and now youтАЩre off to get some book learning, and IтАЩll probably never see you again.тАЭ

тАЬAre you kidding? WeтАЩll get together again. ThereтАЩre a hundred thousand worlds in this castle I havenтАЩt
explored yet, and I wouldnтАЩt want anyone at my back but you.тАЭ

тАЬNice of you to say, Gene, old buddy. Same here.тАЭ Snowclaw hung his head. тАЬHey, IтАЩm getting misty-
eyed.тАЭ

тАЬDonтАЩt go maudlin on me.тАЭ

тАЬIтАЩll live.тАЭ

Linda said, тАЬYou guys make a great mutual admiration society.тАЭ
