Being a winner during a first reign, having much at stake overseeing the ocean port, seemed like the dream job, newsworthy in any publication but now a major royal leader had to defend her firm turf following a maiden claiming alerted the people about the citrus bella issues in a show featuring only for a second, the gulf coast girl.

“I was out of the money,” stated Queen Catalina when the journalist asked questions, “I say, it was a magnificent ride being a fast-track winner especially hiring the talent we did,” the producing creditor recounted, “some observant individuals doing claiming saw the spotted bull in this place but honestly, my sneakiness got me into financing the show.”

“What happened when you were sneakiness?”

“Worked for a gentlemen, Lemon Creek Louie, a squeezer, he was always out of the money but when loitering in this place, acting New York strong, he would actually tell me when I crunched show bill receipts, ‘beware of pride defending your firm turf or you will have to collect heavy timber due to being out of the money’, the executive would recite in a humble tone.”

“What did you make of Lemon Creek Louie?”

“Very quiet, very silent but a winner like his American idol Chaplin,” Queen Catalina answered honestly.

End Day One

Still defending firm turf Queen Catalina continued entertaining inquiries from the media member, moving on to discuss the production, ‘The Wellton Girl Show’.

“You know they casted a California girl,” she noted, “once again, same setting scene, ‘out of the money’.”

“No other reason?” Confirmed the journalist.

Laughing a memory returned, “they told the little girl, if you drink the table wine called Mo’s Vino Mesa, a winner will find its way onto your stage,” Queen Catalina replied taking a second, “she then requested, ‘male lead, paint me beautiful’.”

“Did she go on the fast track? After that?”

“She met two guys one night after a show”, a Russian great Velikiy and an Italian named second Commander Amiranti,”

“What happened?

“After she completed claiming they found out she was out of the money and an explosive exchange occurred, tabloids thought they made birdie puttering around, winning, she was a little more accurate telling the press the California Girl took down two bogeys.”

Stil wanting Queen Catalina’s ‘firm turf defense’ the note taker brought the conversation back to the maiden special weight days.

“I was getting a subsidy from the government when I was out of the money,” Queen Catalina confessed, “I forwarded deployed cash into another show and with a serene spirit the production ended up a winner.”

“No Lemon Creek Louie making bottom line lemonade?”

“Who?” Queen Catalina innocently tried to obtain clarification,

“Lemon Creek Louie? Your?”

“My?” Queen Catalina dropped a hint, “he came to my place and gave me a Rock-Hard Rose and I found out, why,”

“Why?”

“Despite having all this at stake, Iselin, Iselin, was the one he decided to select,” Queen Catalina explained, “something started to smell like a sewer, around these parts.”

End Day Two

Sipping Verde lemonade Lemon Creek Louie enjoyed his fast-track lifestyle realizing never in a second did he end up being a masked man calculating profitable facts. While on a good roll, distributing clean and green material, hair less jetsetter Iselin Hess Werblin accepted David’s song, and the lyrical masterpiece turned them into winners. Adding the number into the show, lining the privileged silver pockets, orchestrating jingling and jangling melodies when playing with their change, many seemed satisfied.

It was a powerful and complete piece which Lemon Creek Louie called his Arteta production, despite raising an out of the money reality. During a vacation visit after the show, relaxing on the Kern River, reporters found out Quincy Market was out of the money, facing bankruptcy due to fast-track gossiping activity, claiming Lemon Creek Louie’s romantic life’s downhill spirals.

“He was having an affair with hair less Iselin Hess Werblin?”

“No,” Queen Catalina cleared up, “one of his devoted companions called him an Xcellent Man, emphasis on the ‘X’ factor when he once stayed at her place.”

“Well, the X does mark the spot,”

“And a tie breaker victor makes a man a good winner,” Queen Catalina added, “but what really put Lemon Creek Louie away was the diamond heist which he thought made him a winner.”

Apparently, this congressman who saw the show, displaying a big beamon facial expression after finding out Lemon Creek Louie was out of the money, claiming fast track influence. Rumored, the flirt performing flair invested a mortgage rivaling amount after hearing the garden club’s scream, ‘Agarramesipuedos’ then within a second those harvesting magic disappeared into the darkness, shoeless.

Hours later Lemon Creek Louie found himself in handcuffs and to this day he still believes the California Gulf Coast girl, and Iselin Hess Werblin conspired against him, remodeling his garden state dream escape getaway, into a prison interchange known as exit 16W.

“Such, lovely stories,” the reporter folded his notebook and thanked her for the time.

“Had a very nice chat, dear Son,” she commented escorting him out the door.
