Are you ready to meditate with Kari?
Make sure that you're all comfortable and snug and warm in your bed.
Make sure the lights are just right in your room and everything is good to go so that you can relax as you listen to the story.
Heidi,
Cherry and Veir were over at Claire's house.
They'd been hanging out in Claire's bedroom.
Claire's bedroom was cute,
Very cute.
She had lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of love arts everywhere in her room.
But also she had the bestest collection of crystals anyone has ever seen.
Veir loved Claire's crystals.
They were like princess rocks,
All different colours and shapes and sizes.
Veir liked to pretend that they were jewels that she'd found in a very fancy treasure chest somewhere in a castle far,
Far away.
Claire thought that was very cute.
She was sat down reading a book that she'd wrote.
She was reading it to Heidi.
Heidi was very impressed.
Claire said,
It's called Even Superheroes Aftershower.
Heidi said,
That's a genius idea.
What made you come up with that idea?
Claire said,
Well,
I just tapped in to this very awesome,
Special aspect of myself that I refer to as Lulu Love.
She's this part of my personality that's an absolutely amazing author and she creates all sorts of different stories and books and she's very,
Very talented and extremely funny,
Of course.
Heidi said,
I love it.
I love the idea.
I love the concept.
It's so funny,
Claire.
Claire carried on reading the book to Heidi.
Over on the other side of the room,
Cherry perked up.
She heard the title of the book and that was all that she heard.
She wasn't really listening to anything else that they'd been talking about.
Cherry said,
I think that's funny.
I think it's funny because you know what?
You're right,
Claire.
You're right.
Everyone really does have to shower,
Don't they?
You know,
Some people don't and I know some cats that don't and sometimes it's okay,
You know.
I don't think you should have to shower every single day because sometimes you just wash off all your goodness.
You know,
If you like scrubbing on your fur every day,
It might get a little bit brittle and it might get a little bit dry.
So I think like maybe just every couple of days or something for us cats.
But you know,
I think sometimes it's the same with humans.
I think sometimes they just wash themselves away in the shower.
And I mean,
Think about how much water you're using in a shower.
You use so much water,
Don't you,
Heidi?
Don't you?
Heidi said.
You do actually go through quite a bit of water in the shower,
But maybe not as much as what you would if you had a full bath,
Like a really big deep bath.
But there is a lot of water that you definitely use when you have a shower.
Yeah,
Said Cherry.
See,
I mean,
What could you do with all that water?
Can you imagine,
Claire,
If you collected the water when you had a shower and you could water all your plants on the back garden,
Couldn't you?
You know,
All your flowers and your vegetables and your tomatoes and stuff.
You could water all of those plants without water and then you'd be like doubling up on your uses of your water.
You wouldn't have to like water your plants and wash your body two separate times.
You could just wash your body and water your plants with the same shower.
It's genius.
I mean,
I don't get why people aren't on on on on already having buckets in the shower when they have a shower so that they can just fill the buckets up with all the splashes and everything else that's just flying all over the bathroom and just being completely wasted.
Claire said,
That's a really good idea,
Cherry.
Cherry said,
Yeah,
I know.
And you know,
While we're talking about showers,
I've been thinking I have this friend,
Right?
He's called Alex.
He's actually called Alex Superjax because Alex Superjax,
My friend,
The cat,
He's a cat.
He he's really,
Really cute,
But he's a bit pongy.
You know,
It's a bit smelly.
And I'm like,
Alex,
Alex,
Alex Superjax.
Claire interrupted Cherry and said,
Why is he called Alex Superjax?
Heidi said,
Oh,
Cherry called him that.
That's his nickname.
It's because he does jumping jacks a lot,
Like and he's really good at them.
Yeah,
Said Cherry.
I think that's I think that's why I just landed that name.
It just like I channeled it.
It just fell through one time in a meditation.
I was sat there in a meditation.
I was feeling all enlightened and so connected,
So connected to like,
You know,
Me angels and everything.
And I was like,
Oh,
Oh my gosh,
Alex Superjax.
That's what I'm going to call him.
That's like his his animal name,
You know,
Like his totem name or something,
You know,
Like some gurus have fancy,
Fancy names and you're like gurus,
Some giant jump giant so and so.
Yeah.
Then that then that's what I was thinking.
I was thinking the same thing,
Exactly the same thing about Alex,
Because Alex is very in tune,
You know,
He's a very spiritual cat.
Oh,
I just had a thing.
I just had a thought.
Maybe that's why.
Maybe he thinks he doesn't have to have a shower because he's so spiritual.
Maybe spirituality just cleans him away,
Cleanses him from the inside or something.
Maybe that's it.
What do you think,
Hyde?
Hyde said,
I'm not sure about that,
Cherry.
I know being spiritual,
Some people have certain ideas about what spirituality is and what spiritual people look like.
Lots of times people think that spiritual people are all like hippies and gurus and things like that,
That might actually not shower very often.
I don't know,
Cherry.
I don't know.
Cherry said,
Well,
I think that's true.
I think spiritual people just don't shower because they're so cleansed from the inside of all the meditations.
And that's why Alex Superjax,
My favorite friend,
Possible boyfriend in the future.
Just saying guys,
Just saying.
I really do like him,
But he is a bit pungy.
So I'm thinking,
This is my idea,
Right?
I'm finally getting around to my point,
Claire.
This is my idea.
You had this brilliant book,
Right?
It's brilliant.
Even superheroes have to take a shower,
Right?
I'm thinking I could borrow that book.
I'm thinking,
I'm thinking this.
I'm thinking,
I'm really deep thinking.
I could borrow that book.
I could borrow the book and I could just accidentally,
Accidentally,
Wink-a-dink-a-dink-a-lee,
Accidentally drop the book next time I see Alex in front of him and go,
Oh,
Alex.
Hello,
Alex Superjax.
How you doing,
My old friend?
Oh,
I dropped my book.
Oh,
By the way,
This book is so good.
And as I picked the book up,
I open it and I happen to be on a page where there's a cat showering.
That's what you need to put in that book,
Claire.
You need to draw a picture of a cat having a shower,
Please.
Yeah.
And I'll be like,
Oh,
This book.
My friend,
Claire,
Well,
You know,
An aspect of Claire called Lulu Love.
She's an author.
She wrote this book,
Right?
And it's so amazing.
And it's so funny,
Alex.
It's so funny.
It's called,
Even superheroes have to have to shower.
Do you ever shower?
And then that's when I'll drop it on him.
I'll just like look really serious,
Piercingly into his eyes and like very intensely and then do like an awkward silence.
So he has to like think about it really strongly and he'll be like,
Oh,
What does she mean?
And I'll be like,
Just keep staring,
Cherry.
Just keep staring.
Pierce into his soul.
Don't say anything.
But just have a look in your face like you need a shower,
Alex.
Superjacks,
You need a shower.
But don't say it because that's not very nice.
Right.
So I'm looking at him.
I'm looking at him.
And I'm not talking.
I'm not doing anything.
That awkward silence where the other person thinks,
Oh,
Gosh,
I best say something.
And I'm doing that.
And Alex goes,
Cherry,
Do you think I need a shower?
And I'll just say,
You?
No.
No,
Alex.
No.
Maybe just a little one.
Maybe just a short one.
But you know what?
I've invented this new thing.
And if you do shower,
Alex,
Then make sure you have a bucket in your shower,
Please,
Because then we can water Clive's plants with it.
Yeah,
That's what I'll do.
Do you think it'll work?
Erika popped her head up from the crystals.
She'd been arranging them all,
Color coordination,
And all the whites went to light pink,
Went to light blue,
Went to light green,
And so on and so forth.
It was a very pretty crystal arrangement.
I think maybe you shouldn't tell Alex he needs a shower.
Even though Alex is a little bit pungy,
I do agree.
Think he just does too many jumping jacks and it makes him a little bit sweaty and then when he gets sweaty he just pongs but you know he does smell very um what's that word she looked at Heidi.
Heidi somehow weirdly knew she was talking about pheromones.
Yeah mm those he does smell quite nice even though he's a bit pongy.
Cherry said I know right isn't it weird you know what he reminds me of.
He reminds me of you know when you're washing your laundry and you put your laundry in right and then oh no you forget about it for like three days and then you go back and your laundry smells a bit weird it smells like a bit fusty but you can't stop smelling it and it's like oh it smells so fusty.
I'm gonna have to wash it like four times now but before I do let me just stick my head in the washing machine and sniff it up really good because it smells so good I don't know why it's weird anyway yeah I agree with you Faea I think Alex smells Alex super jacks Alex smells just like that Alex oh should I call him super jacks Alex or Alex super jacks excuse me I burped excuse me I'm sorry about that yeah I think we should just call him Alex super jack yeah Alex super jacks oh gosh I'm confusing myself now anyway yeah so Claire please if you could get that book into some kind of production so that it looks very professional and get it published get your author noodle to get it published I mean you're publishing oh gosh yeah noodle you know that's your publisher right Claire said yeah that's right Cherry said yeah well talk to Noogle and and and ask him can you get this published please because I've already got a demand I've already got a demand for it there's already people wanting to buy it I know I know Kari will love this book she'll absolutely love it she'll think it's so amazing she'll want to buy it and then maybe if if it's published and you make it and she buys it then she could like I don't know make a meditation about it or something like you know all these superheroes all over the world having to have a shower it's so fun it's genius anyway yeah so publish it please Noodle Noodle is Claire's stuffy type animal that's a panda bear that's not really just a panda bear not really just a stuffy Noodle is a very special stuffy he's like super awesome and yeah he publishes all of Lulu loves books so back to Cherry and then when it's published I will definitely do my plan I'm gonna drop the book in front of him I'm gonna pick it up and there's a cat showering and you know what's awesome he'll think I'm thinking like he's a superhero as well which he is really into because he does so awesome jumping jacks that I'll be like Alex you know you're like a superhero to me you are and maybe you could be my boyfriend and then Alex will go oh cherry cherry I've always wanted you had to ask I've been waiting for you to ask since the first time I laid eyes on you so adorably beautifully breathtakingly delicious that I'm like oh yeah I'll be a boyfriend I can't wait to tell the whole world that you're my girlfriend cherry is my girlfriend he'll even sing it he'll even sing it he'll be so happy and I'll be like yeah yeah I know Alex I know but you got to have a shower cuz you're pong and then I don't know what will happen next Heidi said do you really want him to be a boyfriend yeah I really do I really like him a lot I think he's nice they said I think he's nice too cherry said thanks fair means a lot anyway Claire get on it please love you and all that but you know get on it get on it girl get on it and then next time we come and see ya maybe I can do me plan and I'll be someone's girlfriend Heidi cherry and they stayed with Claire for quite a while they helped her water all of the different flowers the bushes the plants and then it was time to go home and they got home they showered they brushed their teeth they put on the pajamas cherry was very proud of herself because she saved the water in buckets in the shower it's a really good idea they went to bed they relaxed their bodies and eventually fell fast asleep the end you you you you you you you you you you
