Hum of engines send pigs to sleep

Everything is hunky doory (going along fine), & with the hum of engines in background... both pigs drop off 2 sleep when.....a loud announcement from Moony's Space Sat Nav startles them both back 2 consciousness...saying...'Arriving at Nimbus XIII in 5 minutes and counting'...

--Friend wakes up with a JERK, (erm, we r not talking 'bout moonpig here !!!). Are we there yet, Moony ?

-- Almost, juz pick the books orf the floor then & put 'erm away....noise of Space Sat Nav continues....

--Pinky friend says, You go first Moony :) & watch the steps, they might be slippy ;)

--Yeah thx 4 that. U wait at the top then while i go down...Moonpig descends with a bit of slipping and sliding as metal and trotters do not always go well 2gether, (well he'd upgraded from a even slippier wooden ladder).

--Friend squints & suggests...Might need some anti-slip matting on them steps...points with trotters.

--I know that ! Frowns ^>@<^ (like that)...i was gona buy sum from here Nimbus XIII if they az any ?

Stepping cautiously, trotters disappear slightly, as swirls of cloud drift around & about them & their ankles, (do pigs have ankles ?)....2 b cont....
