The girls suddenly realised where they had seen that chap before. Mr. Pumpkin had helped them last year to find the beautiful pumpkin. "Oh I remember now." said Zlata. "I don't remember." said a very puzzled Zwoggle. "Thats because you were not in that adventure." Zlata told him. "Oh." replied Zwoggle in his miserable voice. Poor Zwoggle no one really took any notice of him, they all decided to rush outside & talk to Mr. Pumpkin & ask him how he had been & why he was paying them a visit. In their eagerness to get to see him the friends all got stuck in the doorway as they all tried to be the first one to talk to Mr. Pumpkin. Pushing each other, they finally got outside into the garden. They noticed the kittens were out there, resting as they always seemed to be doing lately. But there was no Mr. Pumpkin or his black cat. The friends looked all around but there was sight nor sound of them. "Where did he go, I wonder?" Jasmine asked. "Haven't a clue." Meadow replied. "Well I am not bothered if I don't meet him." said Zwoggle. Feeling a bit jealous that he was the only one not to know Mr. Pumpkin. Again no one took any notice as they knew he was feeling a bit left out. Zlata climbed on the wall & had a good old sulk. She would have loved to speak to Mr. Pumpkin, even if it was just to annoy Zwoggle. "I think maybe he went into the wood, so we could always go & look for him, I am sure he will be pleased to see us or why else would he have looked in our windows." said Jasmine. "A good idea, lets go." replied Meadow. So that is what the friends did, even Zwoggle tagged along. Thanks for all the lovely comments & favs, so, so appreciated. xxx Zlata, Zwoggle Mr. Pumpkin - Leilana Black cat- Janeeden from Yurdigital
