History:
Joey loved birds. Oh sure, he loved dogs and cats and turtles and all of that, but he loved "Bwirdies" best of all. As soon as his toddler hands could grip those crayola markers, he started to draw baby birds. Little chicks full of fluff, ducklings with orange bills, signets with scrawny little necks, you name it, he had it. Joey just couldn't draw enough birds!

Soon Joey started school. In school, there were any fascinating things. But the things he found most fascinating were wax crayons, and the class pet. The class pet was a cute little white bird, all fluffy and friendly and always chirping sweetly. So with his newfound tools of art-making, he drew the bird. And although they weren't the best of drawings, they were often good enough to get a gold sticker and a "good job" from his teacher. Everyone loved his art!

Then Joey started highschool. And there, he discovered something that had been there all along, but he'd never really noticed: Girls. Sure, he was still into art and birds and all that, but girls were now the biggest thing in his life. There was one girl in particular, but she was way out of his league. She was the smartest girl in school, head cheerleader, and totaly blonde angel. All those years of drawing birds came in handy though, when he drew his crush as the angel she really was.

Thinking


I stared at the ancient white cardboard box, tied up with a fladed yellow bow, and frowned. I had found this box in the attic of my old grandmother, and had taken it to my room. I stared at the box, debating about whether opening the box is a good idea.
Maybe it belongs to grandma, or Grandpa, when he was alive! What should I do? I sighed, and decided to ask Grandma about this box. There is something about it that I find special. Holding the box in my arms, I climbed down the single flight of stairs, and walked into the kitchen where my Grandma was busy baking chocolate chip cookies.
"Grandma, do you know who this belongs to?" I asked, as the fragrance of freshly baked cookies reached my nose. My grandma looked closely at the box and gasped. She beckoned me to her side.
"Where did you find this? I thought that I had lost it forever!" She exclaimed, excited. "This was the first christmas love token your grandpa had given me. He was the sweetest... Of cause, that was when we were still young!" Grandma smiled and laughed joyously. "Here, take it. I'm sure you'll like it! I insist!"
I nodded and filled with excitment, ran back to my room, hugging the box.
I opened the box, and inside, I found two pieces of paper. On one, was a poem:

You're as beautiful as frost and snow,
Yet not cold but warm and sweet.
My art will never beat,
That radient beauty of yours.
Yours always and forever-
Your Love...

I do hope his art was better than his poetry! I giggled, and reached for the second piece of paper. I stared at the second piece of paper, trying to guess in vain what it was. It looks like a bird of some kind... It's a strange drawing, but beautiful in its own special way... I didn't know what was up with me at that time, but than I annonced sliently to myself. "I'll name you Angel..."

Wealthy Lover

I washed my face and got ready for breakfast. Whistling happily, I tied up my hair with a red ribbon and sat on my bed. I took out Angel and lay her flat on my hand. She was making faint, excited whistling noises, and her black, white and yellow scribbles danced around, making wavy lines.
I was surprised at this. Last night, I noticed that the lines were moving a bit, and making sudden soft sounds, but never ones like this! Anyway, my grandpa's love token for grandma is really magical. I mean, I never knew that scribbles could express themselves like that! I stared at the wavy lines, and started to giggle, unable to stop. "Yes, and a very good morning to you too, Angel!" I laughed. I put her gently down on my table beside the window. There was a small breeze, so I closed three quarters of the window. Then, I headed down for breakfast.
"Angel, I'm back from breakfast!" I cried out cheerfully. In reply, a delighted sqeak came from Angel. I smiled, and took her up. Then, I placed my hand towards the windows, and wispered,"Angel, look out of the window. Isn't this place amazing? I'll take you out one day, when I'm free. That's a promise." Angel made wavy and crazy looking lines, together with excited whizzling noises. Smiling, I put her back on the table, this time, with her facing the window.
"Bye, I'm off to school, and won't be back until nightfall, because of a school project. The sunsets are lovely. Do remember to watch it... Oh, and try to keep yourself occupied!"
With that, I took my school bag and headed down the stairs, shouting out a last goodbye to grandma before I left the house.

Later That Night...
I put Angel laying on the table. Unlike the day, the lines were straight, and only soft sounds could be heard. Smiling slowly, I sung "Twinkle, twinkle little star" as I climbed into bed. I did not know why I sung that, but looking at Angel makes me feel relaxed and cheerful. Dearest grandpa, thank you for the wonderful gift... Closing my eyes, I yawned and drifted off to sleep.

Wealthy Lover

I yawned and woke up, rubbing my eyes. I had slept peacefully last night, having dreams about grandpa and grandma's younger days, and of Angel. Thinking of Angel, I turned to look at her. And my face brightened up with a smile. I was also feeling really happy, as today was Saturday, which means no school!
I walked into the bathroom and did what I did everyday. As I had just finished tying up my hair, I heard a really weird whizzling noise, coming from my beadroom. Thinking that something bad had happened to Angel, I gasped and rushed over to her. There, I got the surprise of my life.
Angel was making the whizzling sound, and she was rearranging herself. I stared open-mouthed as she morphed before my eyes...
My scribble-on-a-paper was no longer just a mere scribble... It looks much more like... Like something neater. Although her colours are still outside the lines, she looks more beautiful then ever! I peered closely at her, trying to figure out what the new her look like.

Wealthy Lover

Eureka! I've got it... Angel is a white coloured bird, with a yellow beak. Sort of a swan, but really unique! I picked Angel up, and said to her softly, "Since you've grown up, how would you like to go to the great outdoors this fine morning?" Angel's eyes twinkled and a "Yes, please!" came from her. I was so shocked, I almost dropped her.
"Angel... When did you learn to talk? I didn't know you could!" I exclaimed. Angel spoke up again, this time a little louder. "Well, when I'd changed, I find that I can talk!" Her voice sounded like a cross between a normal voice, and a bird's singing. To me, it is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard.
I put her into my transparent handbag, and carried it on my shoulder. To advoid any jokes about taking a piece of art out on walks, I put in the bag: a water bottle, a lunchbox containing hot dogs and sandwiches and in case of rain, an umbralla. Spending roughly around half an hour, I placed the items in such a way that Angel will be able to see out, but the items I've brought will block people from seeing her. With a shout to grandma, I walked outside and made my way towards the park.
After a short walk, I arrived at the park and found myself a shady tree to rest under. I took out my lunchbox and Angel, after making sure no one is near. "I was getting stuffy in there!" Angel complained. "I'm sorry, but I don't think other people will react cooly to a talking piece of art..." I replied with a giggle. Angel looked around, an air of excitment hanging around her.
Up in the trees, a bird chripped, and Angel's head turned up to look at the tree tops. She blinked and started chripping. Although it does sound like a bird's, the singing tone of it makes it sound much more beautiful. I smiled and listened to her chirpping happily, enjoying herself wile I ate a hot dog. As sudden as it had started, Angel stopped singing and looked at me with curious eyes.
"What's that you eating?"
"It's a hot dog..."
"People eat dogs? Wow!"
"No... Yes... I mean no! This is not a real dog. It's made of something else. It is just called a hot dog, like you are called Angel. Hot dog is it's name."
"Oh... I get is now. I like hot dogs. I think it's my favourite food."
I wanted to ask why hot dogs are her favourite food if she haven't try them before, but a drop of water on my nose made me stop. Afraid that it's going to rain, and wet Angel, I packed up my stuff and opened my umbralla. Angel told me she wanted to stay, but I told her firmly that I don't want her to get wet.
A drizzle started, and everyone in the park had rushed out. I was no exception. I walked quickly home, and put Angel on the table.
"From today on, I'll bring you to the park on every Monday and Thursday after school, and on Saturday afternoons. Is that okay with you?"
"Yes! I really like the outside!"
I nodded and went down for dinner, leaving Angel yawning and sleeping by the time I had closed the door.
"Sleep well Angel... Sweet dreams. It had been a tiring but great day, and tomorrow will be better!" I whispered, and smiled.

Wealthy Lover

I was eating breakfast when a bird's singing came from my room. My grandma loked at me, her eyes asking,'Did you buy a pet bird without asking?' stared into mine. I hurrily excused myself from the table and rushed upstairs. I ran into my room and shut the door.
"Angel! Please do stop sinmging... My grandma must not know about you!"
"Why?"'
"She will be shock at the presence of a talking, living picture."
"Why?"
"People are not used to seeing... Hearing pictures talk and being alive."
"Why?"
"Stop asking why please, Angel! Just stop singing when people are in the house... If you want, please sing softly."

I sighed and went out of my room, closing the door behind. Angel will proberbly sing her heart out everyday... She loves singing so much. In spite of myself, I smiled and went down to finish my breakfast. I heard the faint sound of Angel's singing before I went down the stairs.
Later that afternoon, I went to check on Angel to find that she had sung herself to sleep. That's so sweet! It's just like her... I decided to take an afternoon nap, but I tripped over the chair and landed on the bed with a "Thud!" ANgel woke up with a start and started to giggle after she figured out what had happened. I picked myself up and laid on the bed, my face red hot with embaressment.
"Angel, please sing me to sleep..."
"Can I? I'm not very good... Are you sure about this? I..."
"Yes please Angel... Sing me to sleep... I'm really tired, and I need some shut eye."
Angel nodded and sung a classical song I had sung to her when she was just a scribble. I closed my eyes, and arrived in dreamland, Angel's beautiful singing still ringing in my head.

Wealthy Lover

I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and saw Angel sleeping peacefully, making little snoring noises. I smiled and sighed. Angel was, and still is, such a great responsibility. Although she is more of a friend then a pet.
I looked at my clock. It reads 7 at night. My stomach rumbled, and I realised how hungry I really is. I tiptoed out, and closed the door slowly as I did not want to make any sound that would wake Angel up. However, I reminded myself that I had to complete my homework. Skipping down the staircase, I smelt my grandma's cooking and my stomach rumbled again. I patted my stomach and thought,"You will be satisfied my dear stomach... You will be."
After dinner, I retreated back to my room and the first thing I heard was Angel's singing. Singing has became her habbit, something she would do everytime she is bored. Her voice has also grew with her. As sweet as ever, I thought as I entered my room.
Time passed quickly as I chatted with Angel. Soon, it was time for bed. Suddenly, I remembered my homework. I smaked my head in self anger, and told Angel that she can sleep first. However, Angel shook her head and said that she would sing for me, to relax me so that I can do my homework better.
I smiled. "That's so sweet of you." I said in reply and sat down to work. In half an hour, my homework were are finished and I suggled into bed. Angel and I exchanged "Goodnight and sweet dreams". Before I slept, I realised how tired I had been since Angel came into my life.
"Even though I had been sleeping all day..." I giggled and slowly drifted off to sleep once again. A smile playing on my lips.

Wealthy Lover

"Oh no! I'm late for school!" I yelled and jumped out of bed. A cry of shock came from Angel as she woke up. I flashed her an apologic smile and ran to wash up and get changed.
A few minutes later, I grabbed my bag and said goodbye to Angel, after which I rushed downstairs to kiss my grandma goodbye. Then, I ran outside and was off to school. Angel followed me with her eyes until I was out of sight. Then, she started to sing again, experimenting with different pitches and different songs. After which she got bored and tried to create a new song.
I returned home to find grandma gone to the market, and Angel trying her best to create a song about hotdogs and snow.
"Hotdogs make good snacks
In the cold, cold snow.
Hotdogs are hot,
They keep you warm...
All the way down to your toes!"
Angel shoke her head and was too concentrated on her 'song' to hear me come in.

"Hi, Angel. What are you doing?"
"Welcome back! I can't seem to create a good song!"
"Now, now... Don't cry. I'll help."
"Okay!"
So we tried to make a song, but to no avail. In the end, we ended up laughing at the new 'song' we had created.
"Hotdogs in the snow,
They felt so cold!
Hotdogs in the snow,
So shivering cold!
Hotdogs in the snow,
Yelling about cold!

Hotdogs and cold don't mix,
Like water and oil.
Cold and hotdogs don't mix,
Unless we eat them in the snow to keep us warm!"

A whizzling sound disturbed the sound of laughtar, and I knew what is was. I turned to look at Angel. As I expected it, she was growing again. I watched, amazed as she changed herself. As for me, the suspence was almost killing me.

Wealthy Lover

I peered cloely at Angel, wondering what she had decided to surprise me with. I took a double take and looked again.
"Oh my gosh! Angel! You look like a stickman! I mean woman." I said, my voice full of surprise and happiness. I wondered if Angel will grow any more, but decided against it to ask her.
"Dragain, I think my voice has changed." Angel's beautiful voice echoed in my head. She sound like an Angel. I smiled and nodded, asking her to sing a tune. She tiltted her head, deep in thought before she smiled and nodded back.
She started to sing a christmas carol, Slient Night. It was one of my favourites as I used to sing it with my friends. I signed, contented and feeling really peaceful inside of me.
"You really are an Angel..." I said, watching Angel fluttering around with her wings.
"I am?" Angel asked, her eyes shining brightly. "Yay! Dragain, can you sing along with me?" She asked, her eyes hopeful. I had no heart to reject her request. I said yes and we sang together in the night, her voice merged with mine and I had to admit that I had enjoyed myself, and that my voice was preety good.
I yawned and laid on my bed. Angel, excited that she had grown, sang to try to lure me to sleep. I whispered a thank you and closed my eyes. I had been sleeping alot this few days, but looking after Angel had drained my energy. A contented smile appeared on my lips as I slipped into dreamland. Angel's singing making my eye lids impossible to open.

Wealthy Lover

Angel was in love. I can feel it. Well, actually she told me, but even if she did not say a word, I would have guessed. She looked so upset but tried to smile and sing as usual.
I asked Grandma about love relationships and she told me that love comes in many different ways. Sometimes, love may just be waiting around the corner, or simply a love that had built up overtime within close friends. "Sometimes, you may not know that you are in love until the last minute. If you really love someone, you should express it to that special someone, or it will be too late." Grandma said in a serious tone.
I repeated what I had lernt from Grandma to Angel, and to my surprise, Angel decided to tell me her relationship with a new friend. One she calls Bob. I listen with interest at Angel's confessions and as she finished, I gave her some advice.
"If you truely love Bob, don't let him go. If he choses someone else, give him your full support and happiness. Keep this in mind, okay Angel?" I asked her softly. She nodded and yawned. I smiled and put her to bed. Then, I went to bed myself.
"Night Angel..." I said.
"Night." She replied, wreary. I turned off the lights and closed my eyes, the worry thatI had about Angel still in me, although it had lighten abit.

Wealthy Lover

I opened my eyes to see ANgel missing from her bed. I gasped in surprise and my blanket flew to the other side of the room. My eyes flew open and I scanned the bedroom. I signed in relief when I saw Angel sitting facing the open window, glancing at something outside with her head tiltted.
"Ah... She's thinking again... Well, better not disturb her then." I thought as I tiptoed out of the room with my school uniform. I went into the master bedroom bathroom and combed my head before tying it up. Then, I put on my school uniform and took breakfast in the kitchen. I grabbed my school bed and rushed out of the door. "Goodbye Grandma! I'll be back by 3 today." I yelled as I went out of the house, lugging my heavy school bag.

---

At 3.05, I reached home and changed back into home clothes before settling down for late lunch. I wondered how Angel was doing so I went upstairs straight after that.
I opened the door to see Angel still looking out of the window. I went over and looked at her. She wore on a rare serious expression and turned slowly to look at me before asking, "I wonder if having a chat with Bob would be a good thing?" I smiled and nodded, picking her up and placing her on the tabletop.
"I have to do my homework, now. Don't think too much please... Everything will work out, I promise!" I said. Angel nodded happily and went to bed. She was tired from lack of sleep and a half day of hard thinking.
As for me, I started on my homework and hummed a song to keep up my spirits.

Wealthy Lover

I woke up at 2.34am, and found that I had fallen asleep doing homework. Angel was still sleeping and so, I tip-toed out with my homework so that I can finish it in the livingroom.

I yawned and placed my books on the coffee table. Then, I got a cup of milk and some cookies, as I was hungry. I had actually managed to sleep through dinner. I sighed and continued on my homework, nibbling on a cookie. I groaned, maths homework... Then, I drank some milk and did my homework, hoping Grandma won't come down at this time.

I finished my homework at about 3.30am, and decided to go back to sleep. When I went back, I was caught off guard as Angel had been fluttering behind the door. And the first thing I saw was her eyes. I placed my hand over my mouth to prevent myself from gasping in shock, and sighed.

"What did you think you were doing?" I asked Angel as she looked at me. "Well..." Angel started, "I was waiting for you to get back. I don't like being alone..." I smiled at her and told her to go back to sleep. Then, I went back into my own bed and fell asleep.

It was 6.30 in the morning when I was awaken by a frantic Angel. "Wake up or you're going to be late for school!" I woke up with a jolt and fell off my bed with a loud "Bang", followed by my "Ouch..."

Wealthy Lover

I hastily picked myself up and rushed off to the nearest bathroom. My hair looks like a lion's mane, my face is oily and I still need to get changed. I sighed unhappily, and started to comb my hair.

I came out 5 minutes later, every thing in order... That is except for my socks. I had put on one blace and one white one by mistake. Angel noticed it and laughed, pointing at my feet. I looked down blankly, and blushed. I changede my socks then pulled on my shoes.

"Bye Angel," I said as I gave her a wave, "I'll see you later!"

Angel waved as I ran down the stairs, and out of the house. She then turned to the window and her eyes followed me as I ran in the direction of school. Angel then futtered back onto the table top and sat there, just staring at the air.

She sang a few songs to herself before deciding that she needs a breath of fresh, outdoor air. With that thought in mind, she flew out of the window.

Wealthy Lover

Angel whistled happily as she flew onto a tree, and stood on one of the branches. "Wow..." She whispred as the view was spetacular! She fluttered her wings and took flight again, heading in the direction of the park. She looked for landmarks that she had seen when dragain had taken her out.

It was an uneventful flight, and she had stopped flying, having arrived at her destination. She perched on a tall tree, and looked around. "Everything looks different from up here..." She thought. Tired, Angel sat down, and listened as the wind whisper to the trees, and the sound of joyous laughtar from children playing in the park.

Suddenly, a robin flapped down beside her. "Hello." Angle said, "How are you Mr Robin?" The robin looked at her bebore chripping sweetly. Angel giggled and asked, "Do you understand what I'm saying?" The robin hopped about excitedly and nodded its pretty little head. Angel smiled and took flight, asking the robin for a full tour of the park from the skies.

The robin nodded again and flew to beside Angel. It sung sweetly before flying away, beckoning Angel to follow him. The song is filled with information about the park, and Angel found it delightfully cheerful. She joined in, to the sheer surprice of the robin.

It was sunset when they departed sadly. Angel gave the robin a kiss before returning home, glad to have made a new friend.

Back at home, Dragain was worried sick, and asked Angel where she had been all day. Angel just smiled and replied. 'Just making new friends, that's all..."
