Ultra Violet turns to Georgie for some help...
I know I was supposed to do something important yesterday, but just when I stopped talking to you, I heard a knock at my door. It was Ultra Violet (who, in case I haven’t mentioned it, has taken charge of the Bee Kazzzzoo Band & Orchestra). I could tell that she was highly upset.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“You want to know what the matter is, Georgie? I’ll tell you what the matter is,” she buzzed at me. “The matter is Violet.”
“You have a violet problem? I love that colour. It’s one of my favourites, ya’ know,” I said.
“NO, Georgie. Just listen to me for a minute. So I did that.
She told me that since our last Rehearsal, she had run into a giant-sized snag with who, exactly, was gonna bee in charge of the Kazzzzoo Band (& Orchestra). The last I heard, Ultra Violet was in charge of everything, and that was supposed to bee that.
“You remember that stuck-up, insufferable bee, Violet LeBlanc?” she asked. Here's a picture of her, in case my BeePs don’t remember what she looks like:
“You mean, the Violet LeBlanc that’s S.O.Bee’s Personal Private Confidential Secretary?” I asked. “That Violet?”
“Yes, THAT Violet,” Ultra Violet buzzed.
“Yeah? What about her?” I asked.
“Well get THIS,” she buzzed, “Violet LeBlanc seems to think SHE should bee in charge of the Band, and she told me I should just go practise my ukulele and leave the organisational details to HER. Can you beelieve she said that? ‘Just go practise your ukulele and let me deal with this,’ is what she said. The NERVE!”
“She said that?” I asked.
“YES! Yes she DID, Georgie. And THEN she said, ‘It’s pretty clear that you’re not taking this whole thing seriously enough, so I beelieve it is time for me - and my impressive organisational skills - to step in and take care of things.’ THEN, she tried to grab my Clipboard out of my wings.”
“She tried to steal your Clipboard?” I couldn’t beelieve it, so I said. “Violet LeBlanc always seemed to bee so pleasant, at least she was that one time I was around her.”
“Pleasant? PLEASANT?” Ultra Violet was furious. “Just WHOSE side are you on here?”
“Yours?” I was pretty sure I’d made the right guess.
“That’s right you are,” she said. “She is not a pleasant bee, Georgie. And I just won’t take this anybody, especially from her! As I told her, there’s only room for ONE Violet around here, and that’s ME! I feel VIOLATED.”
Oh geeeeeeeze. I really didn’t want Ultra Violet feeling violated, or Violet either, for that matter and have them starting to trying to sting each other. (I really can’t stand violetance.) This whole thing was supposed to bee fun, ya’ know? If I’d known we’d bee getting into Personality Conflicts, I wouldn’t have come up with the idea to put together a Kazzzzoo Band & Orchestra in the first place. Probably.
In case you don’t know this, Ultra Violet and I have been highly good friends for a very long time, so of course, I was going to take her side in all of this. So, after I gave Ultra Violet a couple of Great Grandma Gee Gee’s soothingly delicious Royal Honeychew Krisp Cookies to help calm her down, I told her I’d bee happy go out today, have a talk with everybody else who’s signed up to bee in the Band, and make sure that everybody agrees that she should still bee in charge.
That seemed to help her feel better about all this, so she said “thanks”, and told me she was gonna go back home and practise her ukulele.
So I’m gonna go do that. I’m gonna go have a talk with everybody and try to help settle this dispute beefore it gets any nastier. The last thing we need here is a bunch of Violet violence, ya’ know?
I hope everybody has an amazingly festive day!
I’ll see ya’ later!
