What would he wish for tonight? Sometimes Brown Puppy wished for a bone.. and sometimes for a dry place to sleep, because he didn't have a home and these were things he needed. But he had just eaten, and it didn't look like rain, so Brown Puppy couldn't think of a thing to wish for. As he walked along, Brown Puppy listened to the bady birds twittering happily as they settled down to sleep in their cozy nests. Brown Puppy thought it wold be nice to sleep in the smae place every night. He saw a little field mouse calling her children in from play. Brown Puppy thought it would be nice to have someone to call him home every evening. Brown Puppy thought and thought. At last he looked up at the bright star and said, "I wish I had a home." Just then the bright star began sliding down the sky. "I'll follow the falling star," decided Brown Puppy, "and where ever it lands I'll find a home." Brown Puppy ran down the road, but the star slid behind some trees and he couldn't see it anymore. He stopped and looked this way and that. Soon his friend Furry Rabbit hopped up and aksed, "What are you looking for?" "Where did the falling star go?" asked Brown Puppy. "Down behind Pine Woods," said Furry Rabbit. "I'll run fast and I'll run far, so I can fidn the falling star," said Brown Puppy as he hurried down the road. He ran fast and he ran far, but he didn't find the falling star in Pine Woods. He found his friend Tiny Chipmunk. "Where did the falling star go?" asked Brown Puppy. "I think I saw it go down near Babbling Brook," said Tiny Chipmunk. "I'll run fast and I'll run far, so I can find the falling star," said Brown Puppy as he hurried through the woods. He ran fast and he ran far, but he didn't find the falling star at Babbling Brook. He found his friend Spotted Deer. "Where did the falling star go?" asked Brown Puppy. "Go down to Green Meadow," said Spotted Deer, "and look in Blue Pond. Maybe it fell there." "I'll ran fast and I'll run far, so I can find the falling star," said Brown Puppy. He fan fast and he ran far, but he didn't find the falling star in Blue Pond. He found his friend Gray Squirrel playing nearby. By this time Brown Puppy was tired and all out of breath. He sat down beside Blue Pond, looking very sad. He thought of how his friends would laugh when he went back and told them he had run a long way and found nothing. "I guess I'll never find it," sighed Brown Puppy. "Find what?" aksed Gray Squirrel. "I wished on the falling star," said Brown Puppy. "Then I chased it a long, long way. I was sure when I found it, I would find a home." "Silly little puppy," said Gray Squirrel, "no one ever finds the falling star. But if you gto over there and wait"- he pointed to a white house sitting at the edge of Green Meadow- "you will find someone else who wishes on stars." The wise squirrel was smiling. He knew who the someone else was, but he didn't tell Brown Puppy. Brown Puppy ran across Green Meadow to the white house. He saw an old owl, but he wasn't wishing on stars. He saw a fat woodchuck, but he wasn't wishing on stars. Brown Puppy sat down to wait. "Star light, star bright," Brown Puppy heard a voice say. He looked and there, in the doorway of the house, he saw the someone else who wished on stars. It was a boy named Peter. "I wish I may, I wish I might," Peter was saying, "have the wish I wish tonight. Oh, I wish I had a puppy." Brown Puppy was so surprised, he barked, "Bow-wow!" Then Peter was surprised. Brown Puppy looked at Peter and wagged his tail. "Oh, I hope this boy likes me," thought Brown Puppy, "then my wish will come true and his wish will come true." Peter looked at Brown Puppy and siad, "I wish for a puppy just...like...you." "I ran fast and I ran far," thought Brown Puppy happily, "and I didn't find the falling star. I found Peter. And won't Furry Rabbit and Tiny Chipmunk and Spotted Deer be surprised when they hear that?" The End

Originally Posted By knightnfrees I have dated other women and been in a few LTR's, but I don't think I fell in Love. It wasn't until I met my current gf. My gf and I met online, talked on the phone for 3 weeks and met at DL for our first date. We discovered we had alot in common, so much so, it was scary. We finished each others sentences...this was even before we met. We had so much chemistry and we felt we had known each other for ages. So when we met at DL, we automatically held hands and did so for the entire day and we didn't want to let go, it was amazing. We were so into each other...and fortunately, we still are... We had our first kiss at DL. It was at night by the wishing well, so no one was around. The pressure was mounting for both of us during our date throughout the day. We had wanted to, but we didn't feel the moment was right. We ended up at the wishing well about an hour before closing. We looked at SW and the 7 D's. After a couple of minutes, our heads turned, slowly, and we went in for a kiss. It was pure magic. I heard the fireworks go off and they weren't running that night. To be honest, we did get a little heavy with the kissing, but, we made sure to pull back when we heard people coming up. It was kinda funny that after 30 minutes or so of no one coming down the path, one person right after another started about. So, we could do nothing but laugh about the moment and decided to leave. I look back at that night, and realize, yes, I did fall in love in the truest sense of the word. She is a soulmate and I don't think I can ever find someone more perfect than her. I looked forward to the future with her. Our bond just grew and grew. And we are still together to this day, finishing each others sentences.
