PART 7 OF GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS AND THE SANDCASTLE OF DOOM!!!

GLADSTONE MCWHISKERS AND THE SANDCASTLE OF DOOM - PART 7.

Part 7 of an exclusive 12 part Mouse of Commons mini-adventure.

Sometime had passed since the Trifle-fish King had involved them in his dastardly masterplan to rule the world. As Ollie helped set up a little stall outside the Trifle-fish Castle, the next morning, he could barely even look at his boss, for he felt so cross with him.

"I can't BELIEVE you just said yes, boss!!" he exclaimed, as Gladstone came passed carrying boxes that were almost bigger than he was.

To be honest, the mouse just looked a little sad; however it was true - that when the Trifle-fish King has told them that he needed them to complete his invasion plans Gladstone had simply said, "Yes... Okay then..."

"Why DID you say yes?!" Ollie persisted crossly.

Gladstone was carefully unpacking box after box of baby trifles onto the stall infront of him. "Would you honestly have said no with that great big jellified oaf sitting there in front of you!?" he hissed. "REALLY?! At least we got out of the castle this way - even if he is watching us like a hawk..."

Indeed, he was - the Trifle-fish King was sat in a rather small deckchair (for his size) and was staring at them both intently, as if expecting them to do something bad. "Boss - the Trifle-fish King is out of his mind... He wants us to sell his children to people on the beach so that they can take over the world!!!"

"Yes..." Gladstone nodded. "Yes... I know that, Ollie... But we simply have to go along with his plan..."

"But HOW, boss!?" Ollie enquired desparately, only to discover that Gladstone was already hurrying back into the castle to fetch more boxes.

"KEEP UNPACKING THE BOXES, LOUSE..." boomed the Trifle-fish King from his chair, waving his jelly tentacles about as he gorged himself on a large mug of custard.

"Okay!! Okay!!" replied Ollie crossly. "Yes... Yes... I'm working! I'm working!!"

"MAKE SURE YOU ARE, LOUSE - LET THERE BE NO DELAY!!"

The Trifle-fish King turned away and continued reading his newspaper; THE JELLY GAZETTE and Oliver, meanwhile, simply sighed and turned back to open the first box - where Gladstone had left it on the table.

As he opened the first box, he stared at the baby trifles inside and suddenly gasped - what he saw there inside, he simply couldn't believe...

"OH MY..." he gasped. "THAT'S AMAZING!!!"

TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW.

What will happen next? Next time Gladstone encounters opposition...
