Alli's POV
I saw we were at Buckingham Palace, "Welcome milady." A guard said. I helped Yoshi out of the carriage as all the animals came out. I stepped out as well, "You Ladyship Rose." The guard said. "They are the queen's own guests threat the accordingly."
"You better give us a wide berth make way boys!" Dolittle called. I went to the trunk and knocked three times, "Plimpton don't stop." Dolittle said. "Please crash." I mumbled to myself. "Stop!" Dolittle yelled. I walked up the stairs and walked in as Plimpton knocked over some armor I stopped Dolittle before he got knocked over by one of them, "Welcome." I said.
We turned looking at the giant bird who stuck his head in a hat, "What are you doing here?" Dolittle asked. "The queen needs her as well." Lady Rose said walking by us. We walked to her room, "Oh, oh wait, wait for me!" Tommy's voice was heard. "A stowaway my lady who claims to be....." A guard was saying. "Dr. Dolittle's apprentice!" Tommy called.
"It's quite alright Gareth." Lady Rose said. Gareth pushed him to me, "Well if he was my apprentice he should fetch my bags and keep his gob shut." Dolittle said. I rolled my eyes as we walked into the Queen's chamber. "Animals in the queen's chambers I demand their immediate removal." A voice I know said. I rolled my eyes, "Ah Lady Rose my apologies please forgive me we didn't realize that you were part of....John Dolittle and Alli Nolan?" "Is that Blaine?" Dolittle asked. "Blair." "Mud-fly?" I asked. "Müdfly." Müdfly asked. "You two know each other?" Dolittle asked. "We have someone in common." I glared at him. "Why are they here?" He asked Lady Rose. "Her Majesty has personally requested Dr. Dolittle and if he is in need of a captain Captain Nolan." Lady Rose said. We just smirked at him as Dolittle walked over, "Well then let's get to work alright Jip give her a good sniff." Dolittle said.
We watched as Jip licked the queen of course everyone in here had to freak out, "Oh bark you alright fellow?" Dolittle asked. He talked with Jip, "Oh you do love butt." I looked at Lady Rose and my little brother, "Captain Nolan thought you like Stubbins." Tommy said. "I had that name when I was with James." I said. He nodded understand, "Uh clearly Jipsy and I are out of our depths." Dolittle said and looked at the tank Müdfly was standing in front of it. "May we consult?" "Well of course I'd be more than happy to help......" I moved him out of the way. "He wasn't talking to you." I said and watched as he put goggles on and stuck his head in the water.

"John and I were students at Edinburgh years ago some thought he had a gift for observation. Dolittle came back up breathing for air. I pushed Tommy over who had a towel and handed it to him. There was chittering and I saw one of his mice, "Oh sorry about that Mini." He said. I gave a soft smile as he put her in his pocket, "Dab-Dab clear out the humans." Dolittle said. "Boyo fetch the Botanical Index and the tea tin."
Tommy did just that, "What do you smell Jip Elderberries?" "Hemlock?" Jip whimpers. "Negative." He said and flipped another Jip whimpers again. "Negative." Do little flipped to another and Jip barks, "Aye, Aye." He said. Jip sniffed once more and barks. Dolittle sighed and passed it to me and I looked, 'Deathly nightshade.' I mumbled and felt something up my arm and saw the insect who can seem like a twig. "Well the answer to everything exposure to toxins..." Dolittle said and motioned to the painting.
I nodded, "God he was like this at school lean in, lean in, I'm saying something interesting." Müdfly whispered. I shook my head, "The queen's symptoms are due to the effect of a rare Sumatran plant known as the Nightshade flower a sloar eclipse will occur on the 17th of this very month if she has no received the antidote by the she will perish." Dolittle said. "Excuse me but is that a Turner I use to have one of these it's a very fine painting." I said walking over to it. I walked over looking at it letting the insect out.
"I say Dolittle what is your plan?" Lord Thomas asked. "The plan I suppose we do need one well the queen's only hope is a curse that's never been tested from a tree that's only been found by one man." Dolittle said. I sighed, "It's on an Island that's never been found until that one man. Sounds ridiculous say it out lout but regardless of that we have no choice but to embark on this perilous journey right doc?" I asked him with a fake smile. "To Obtain the fruit of the Eden Tree." Dolittle said.

"Eden tree oh my fantastic the Dolittles and Nolans with their Eden Tree Island isn't it enough that your wife....." Blair was saying. "Shut up Blair." Dolittle growled which he did. "Why doesn't that work whenever I would do that?" I asked. "Also not a Nolan anymore." I said. "Fruits is always the cure isn't it Alli I mean James went to......" He was saying when I looked at him. "Why don't you just shut up?" I mumbled walking out.
"You must let nothing pass her that hasn't been made and served by you clear?" Dolittle asked. Lady Rose nodded, "You're a good kid Stubbins come on." I said. "Jip you need to stay behind and guard the queen." Dolittle said.
I walked out and turned to call for Tommy when I saw him talking with Lady Rose and smirked, "What?" He asked. "Nothing." I said. He nodded, "By the way you two would be adorable together." I said to my little brother. He blushed, "Now come on we've got a long voyage in front of us and the boat isn't gonna sail itself." I said.
I walked down, "You need me." I said. "Sadly I do." He said and looked at Plimpton, "I mean one more stop good fellow." He said. "I am riding with you on him?" I asked. "Problem?" He asked. "I should've rode in the trunk." I mumbled.
"Well I believe it's time to go our separate ways." Dolittle said. "Uh, I'm going with you both." Tommy said. "Certainly not." I said. "What your sister said." "It's far too treacherous." I said. "I'm his apprentice and your little brother." He said. "You are but I promise mum and dad you'd be safe." I said. "You my apprentice no, no, no." Dolittle said.
"Why do I have a feeling the ostrich is talking?" I asked Dolittle. "Cause he is." He said. "You're turn." I said smiling at him. "I didn't want to be embarrassed so I pretended you belonged." Dolittle said. "I was helpful in there wasn't I?" Dolittle showed with his fingers and I rolled my eyes. "Please go home I'll make it back." I said. "The animals like me I don't take up much space." Tommy said. "Listen to me I lost mum and dad then I lost the love of my life I am not gonna loose you next." I said. "I think I belong here just like you do." He said.
He looked at me with puppy dog eyes, "Don't make me go home." He said. I sighed, "Excuse me good sir can you give this boy a ride home thank you so much." I said. "What Alli?!" He called as they picked him up. "I love you so much brother bear." I said. He looked like he was going to cry. I kissed his forehead, "Be safe and don't do anything stupid. That's my job." I said and they went away. "Well now that's taken care of." He said. I watched them, "He'll be alright." Dolittle said. "No he's gonna do something stupid he's related to me I always do something stupid like I said yes to going on this trip with you." I said. He looked offended as I got on Plimpton as did he and we were off.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
