The weird and ... Chapter 4

At the third day I did start to get restless and impatient. It would still hurt when I moved too fast and I also pretty easily got tired, but ... I wanted to go HOME to my own things!

And above all get back to a place where people didn´t just knock on the door and then wade in whether or not you were decent and ready to see them.

I complained a bit to Johnny along these lines, but he - always very cautious when it come to those he love - suggested I should wait until next day and see if I still felt well enough for leaving by then.

And I - a bit reluctantly - agreed.

... does he ALWAYS have to be so d... sensible? And sweet *o*

Johnny sat a bit after I had agreed - absent-mindedly knitting on the scarf I was making - then looked up and said; "I think you need some good old fashioned Rock-n-roll round about now. ... we are at Skejby so why not for once experience a Green Concert up close"

I protested that the so-called Green Concert was much later in the summer.

But Johnny frowned puzzled and asked "Is this the little woman who is dragging me off to Mos Eisley to hear jazz by just imagining us going there? If it still is then why can´t you pretend the concert is here and now, baby girlie?"

And of course I could - if only I could think straight - so I did.

Then asked "But how do we get there? I can´t walk to the field even though there isn't that far - where the concert is today. And I don´t want you to carry this heavy chicken! And - we gave Fatima the week off"

"I am sure she would come anyway if we asked" Johnny smiled.

But seeing I was not so sure - Fatima is a spoilt flying carpet - he went on "My bike is outside. We could ride on that. It would be very fitting to arrive at a rock concert astride an old Harley Davidson, don´t you think so"

I did.

But mentioned something about Mike´s (Johnny´s bike) seat being rather hard for a gal with a sore lower half. Johnny thought for a moment - suggested with a teasing little smile that he could tie a pillow on Mike - or on beforementioned broad´s broad behind.

Then his smile got broader (... sigh - did I really write that? Tshee-hee *O* ) and said "This is all in your imagination, right? So why don´t you pretend that nothing has happened at all - no operation, I mean - or at least that nothing hurt anywhere"

And of course I did as my man said.

I always do -o* *polishes her halo and burns her fingers *

------------------

Except when I don´t *O*

-----------------

But - anyway *o* - off we went.

Hunnybear got in the back pack which Johnny carried. And after some protest from the little bundle of fur Mr. L. Roque was let out of the cage and allowed to come too.

Then the upright piano began to rattle its key claiming it wanted to go too. Johnny agreed to that but said very sternly "Then you have to stay close, little one! There are plenty of c-r-a-z-y musicians at a thing like that who would love to take a single piano home with them and do unspeakable things to you ... Maybe even play Wagner!"

In the end the piano actually eloped with a babygrand Elton John had brought along. And although Johnny worried and grumbled I can´t blame the silly instrument.

I have my own "babygrand" and wouldn´t change that for the world!

So finally we all arrived at the large open field where Iggy Pop and his band was already playing as loud as they could.

To my surprise Lefty and Sonny Black greeted us at the ticket boot and whisked us through. I whispered to Johnny that it seemed that the mob really had arrived in Denmark.

But he just smiled back and said that since he knew how nervous I can get in a crowd he had asked these two friend of his to come along as "tail feather-guards"

"When did you ask ..." I started.

Then remembered Johnny had opened the window back at my hospital room and yelled something to a passing sea-gull.

And since I once claimed the sea-gulls was the mobster of the bird world the big white heap of feathers had probably delivered the message.

Now we talk of feathers I noticed several old friends in the crowd.

Off to one side I saw Evangelina dancing wildly about while her little friend Millie rolled her eyes in exasperation. A moment later I noticed Millie - who claim she's a decent donkey - siddle off clearly determinded not to admit to knowing Evangelina at the moment.

But Millie still complained to Gunpowder, I heard later - even though she "didn´t know" Evangelina ...

He *o*

Johnny led me a bit up-hill so we could sit in the shade of a tree and on the way I saw Daredevil dancing with a palomino mare named Argo while his stablemate Gunpowder were talking quietly - or as quietly as one could when competing with The Fabulous Thunderbird who was now singing the blues all they knew how - with a pegasus called Henry.

Sitting himself down by my side Johnny sighed deeply and mumbled "Really ..." I turned my head towards my adorable friend and asked what was wrong.

He smiled a bit and said "Well ... I am not sure anything is wrong, sweetie. But I invited our friend Christopher - he loves to dance, as you know, so ... I had not suspected though he would come as the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow. More like Smith in Nick of Time - or even himself"

But there he was - one of my favorite baddies - coming towards us followed by Freddy Krueger - luckily disguised as Robert Englund - so he didn´t scare the poor people around us.

I noticed though that The Headless hadn´t brought his weapons either AND wore his head where it is suppose to be so I was sure everything would go nicely.

And it certainly did.

Movie bad guys can be very charming when they want to as you probably know. And as Sonny also claimed at one point they were all retired in his opinion since the movies were made a long time ago so we had very much fun dancing around on the hill top.

We all got a good laugh at seeing short little Hunnybear try to dance with tall Michael Madsen - I mean, Sonny Black, of course -o*

Until Johnny picked up his little friend and danced her steps for her. ... which made us awful people laugh even harder and poor Madsen almost blush.

I danced with them all.

But when I wanted to dance with Lefty couldn´t find him. "Oh, you know him" Johnny shrugged when I asked him and said "Lefty is always looking around for a little extra on the side" Then Johnny smiled and sat down with me in his arms and I smiled too - I could see a story was coming up.
