So Gloria went on wondering who Tess could be going to see! So Saturday afternoon went by peacfully, until the phone rang that evening, and Gloria answered.

"Good Afteroon, This is Gloria," Gloria said into the phone.

"Hi Baby, it's Tess! I was just calling to tell you I'm at my destination, and I'll be returning earlier than I thought, which'll be about late Sunday afternoon."

"Oh, GOODY!" Gloria exclaimed, busting Tess' eardrums out.

"See you tomorrow little angel!"

"Bye bye!"

Gloria hung up the phone and dialed Monica's cell. She told Monica everything, and Monica said she'd be right over to help Gloria house clean and get ready for the children that were coming.

"Gloria," Monica said, Sunday morning, to Gloria.

"Yes Monica?"

"I am going to be picking Tess up from the airport at 5, would you like to come?"

"Oh, YES please!"

"Ok, I'll be here to pick you up at 4, it takes us an hour to get to the airport "

Yes Ma'am!"

So, later that day, Monica and Gloria drove to the airport. Monica stopped at Starbucks to get a cup of coffee for herself and a strawberry frappuccino for Gloria. They went to the giftshop and bought a mug and a t-shirt each, and then sat down by the window to wait for Tess and the unknown others to fly in.

"There they are!!!" Gloria shouted as the jet flew in. Monica nodded her head and walked to the window.

"Flight number 7854 Wasilla" The speaker announced.

"Wasilla?" Gloria saked. "Isn't that Alaska? That's where Sarah Palin lives!" Monica answered politely, stating that Gloria pronounced it wrong.

Soon Tess and who was it? Gloria couldn't tell, and then when she realized who it was she screamed, "IT'S SARAH PALIN!!!!!!" Monica just smiled and told Gloria to go say hello, when other people started crowding around. Gloria was ashamed for screaming, because she knew that people would've crowded around and started asking for autographs and things like that, but Tess handled it perfectly.

"Now everyone, I wish for you to clear our of Miss Palin's way, for she is tired from her flight. Thankyou"

Gloria was relieved! She was glad when everyone cleared away and she could say "hello". It was so exciting for Gloria!

To find out what happens, wait until next time on Maryoftheprairie!

Hi! I am going to write my own story about Touched by an Angel!!

Troubling Tess

"dumb dee dah dah doo" the music played as Gloria drove down Peterson Road. eating french fries and a crispy chicken sandwich. Gloria was speeding over the limit, (Which was 55mph) at about 70 MPH. Tess suddenly appeared in front of her, and she slammed on the brakes.

"Tess," Gloria called out, surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Gloria, you KNOW you are not supposed to drive my baby, or any other vehicle," Tess replied. Gloria had had a previous experience where she had almost crashed Tess' "baby", which was a 1970 red covertable Cadillac.

"I uh..I..I'm sorry...I was just craving those crispy chicken sandwiches from the local Chicken Sandwich place," Gloria said hesitantly, hoping not to get an eye to eye look from Tess. Tess could be stern, but most of the time sweet and loving.

Tess gave Gloria the look she was dreading. "Well, I was looking for my car so I could take you to get some Chicken Sandwich Crunchies. But, you just had to take the car keys and go out into this uns..ohhh...never mind, just hand over the keys!"

Gloria did as she was told, but didn't like the idea. Tess drove Gloria "home" and told her to go to her room and don't come out until the next day at 11:00 am.

"Tess? TESS? TEEEEESS?" Gloria called out on Saturday morning. No answer. "TESS?????" Still no answer. Gloria ran to the garage, only to find out that the cheery red Cadillac was gone, and she was alone. When she went back inside to find something for breakfast, she found anote on Tess's  refridgerator.

" ' Gloria, I am on my way to the...well..nevermind, but I'll be back Monday afternoon. I love you baby! Love, Tess' "

Gloria burst into tears, when Monica knocked.

"Oh Monica!" Gloria was so relived, but still scared about where Tess had gone. "It's Tess, she left a note and said she would be back Monday afternoon. I don't know where she could be and..."

"Hold it, Gloria," Monica said in her sweet, calm Irish accent. "One thing at a time!"

"OK, Well, she said something about going to someone's house, someone named Sarah, she's got 5 kids, and she said she lives in Alaska, but who could that be?" Gloria wondered.

"Ah," Monica replied, "That is a surprise for I to know and you to wonder!"
