MONTAGE MONDAY: WEEK ONE - Banana Love

BANANA LOVE

The Lone Bicycle sits in the stairwell, waiting for his amour.  His little banana lover, the yellow cruiser named Buttercup Bananamobile, has gone missing.  All his friends told him she ran off with another guy, but The Lone Bicycle knows the truth.  Buttercup has been stolen!

You see, their love was a quiet love.  Their respective riders weren't even aware of the passion that consumed the both of them when in each others' presence.  Overwhelming, that's what Buttercup used to say.  The Lone Bicycle would leave her love notes here and there, just so she knew she was special.  It was, some say, true love.

Except, now Buttercup has been missing for months now.  The Lone Bicycle, sad and depressed, has refused to leave his post by the window in the stairwell.

 

Finally, fed up with The Lone Bicycle's loneliness, Buttercup's rider contacted someone she thought might be able to help The Lone Bicycle's plight.  Detective Le Sausage agreed to take on the case, simply because The Lone Bicycle had an inside connection with a local shrimp boat captain.  It's all about who you know, after all.

Detective Le Sausage then called Gill on her special direct line banana phone in Gloucestershire.  She had hoped that since Buttercup was yellow and missing, Gill's banana phone would be able to provide some answers. They chatted.  Gill has not seen Buttercup Bananamobile, either.

 

Detective Le Sausage then corresponded with Mama Kitty and all her great knowledge of the Universe and all things involving true love.  Mama Kitty, never one to rely on her resources alone, called in her army of helpers to find Buttercup Bananamobile.

 

Mama Kitty even called Grandma Kitty.  Extra novenas and rosary were said for poor Buttercup Bananamobile.

 

She then called Laura and had her perform a couple of inspirational centering exercises using the special Bananagrams game.  When in doubt, use Bananagrams to channel all your missing-banana related issues.

 

While Mama Kitty was busy calling in her resources, Detective Le Sausage contacted her special forces member, Lille Pige and asked her to look everywhere for Buttercup Bananamobile.  She even looked under her toes!  Lille Pige reported back to Detective Le Sausage that Buttercup Bananamobile was in fact, NOT hiding in between her toes or in the backyard. 

 

Never one to pass up a delicious snack, Detective Le Sausage then visited with Jenn about the disappearance of Buttercup Bananamobile.  While Detective Le Sausage gobbled her homemade, special recipe banana bread, Jenn said that she thought she had seen Buttercup Bananamobile passing through town last Tuesday, but later realized that it was Lemondrop Bananamobile, Buttercup's cousin.

 

Detective Le Sausage will continue looking for Buttercup Bananamobile, but only because she received a large sum of shrimp from The Lone Bicycle's shrimp boat captain friend.  After she takes her nap, of course.


Until then, The Lone Bicycle will be sitting, waiting by the window for his long lost love to return.  And Detective Le Sausage will keep searching, as long as the shrimp keep coming...
