Hi, everyone! Antonia here. It seems like it's dragged on forever, but 2020 is coming to an end. I'm sure many of wewe are ready for this mwaka to be over. I know I am! This is my end of the mwaka speech and plans for the remainder of the year.

As usual, I will do one zaidi shabiki fiction this year. If wewe have any suggestions, feel free to send me a personal message. Whatever shabiki fiction I end up doing, this will be the last one of 2020.

I know this hasn't been a great mwaka for any of us. There has been the pandemic, which hopefully will end soon. I am optimistic this will not last forever. I mean,...

After touring throughout the United States, the Radiant Terriers and New Religion were heading to their homes. They were tired from their tour, so they slept a lot of the way. When they arrived in Oak Ridge, Klondike woke everyone up. Erin said, "Well, this is it." Lola said, "That's right." Leila said, "This has been fun, guys." Greeley said, "We'll have to do that again sometime." Sammy said, "You bet!" Abigail nodded in agreement. Paul said, "I'd like that." They had a big group hug before parting ways. Eventually, the members of the Radiant Terriers went to their homes. When Leila arrived...

The inayofuata morning, after a quick breakfast, the two bands took a walk on the beach. Paul said, "It's so peaceful here in the morning. There aren't very many people here." Carl added, "It's also very pleasant this time of the day. It's not hot." Leila said, "That's true. The only downside is wewe can't get a good tan this time of day." Paul said, "That's true. Unfortunately, how I tan is I burn first." Abigail said, "That's how I do it too." Greeley said, "All I do is burn. I don't tan at all." Sammy said, "That's unfortunate." Everyone nodded in agreement. Soon, it was time for lunch. Everyone...

The inayofuata morning after breakfast, the two bands were heading to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. They were going to give a special performance on the Boardwalk the inayofuata night. Leila said, "I upendo Myrtle Beach. I always wanted to perform on the Boardwalk." Abigail said, "Really?" Leila said, "Yes." Paul asked, "Didn't a country band get their start there?" Erin said, "I think it was Alabama." Carl said, "Yes, it was. They were discovered imba on the Boardwalk, and they soon became superstars." Greeley said, "Oh, yes, that explains why Myrtle beach, pwani has the Alabama Theater." At one point during...

The inayofuata morning, the Radiant Terriers and New Religion explored Atlanta after a hearty breakfast. The mbwa enjoyed all the sights and sounds, especially Paul, being a naturally curious dog. Some squirrels ran up the trees, and he took it all in. After lunch, the two bands decided to check out the pool. Paul (not the dog) sat in one of the chairs and did not jiunge them. Greeley jokingly asked, "What are wewe waiting on, mate? Christmas?" Paul said, "I...can't swim." Leila said, "That's okay. I can teach you." He said, "I have a secret for you. I'm scared of water." Abigail asked, "Why are you...

The inayofuata morning, the Radiant Terriers and New Religion had a quick breakfast. They then headed to Atlanta. They made a few stops along the way. One of the places they stopped was a burger joint to have lunch. Greeley got a venison burger. Paul asked, "Are wewe against beef?" Greeley said, "No, I just like trying different things." Leila said, "Greeley is a very adventurous eater. I prefer to stick with what I know, not that I'm afraid to try new things, but why fix what isn't broke, wewe know?" Erin said, "I know." Later, the two bands arrived in Atlanta. Their tamasha wasn't until the next...

The inayofuata morning, after breakfast, the Radiant Terriers and New Religion were heading to Orlando. They arrived earlier than expected, so they decided to explore the city and everything it had to offer. Later, they had their concert. At one point, during a cover song, Greeley got a lyric wrong. He laughed and had to end the song. He jokingly said, "I don't know where my mind is!" Paul laughed and said, "You left it at the beach, pwani in Tampa." Everyone laughed. Leila said, "This is the first time that's ever happened to you, Greeley." He said, "Well, there's a first time for everything, right?" After...

The inayofuata morning, after breakfast, the two bands decided to head to the beach. They had a blast building sandcastles, tossing the beach, pwani ball, and swimming. Even the mbwa joined in on the fun. Erin said, "We'll have to bring Fritz on vacation sometime. He loves the beach." Paul said, "Yeah." Abigail asked, "Is Fritz still enjoying his retirement?" Lola said, "He is. He's still feeling good, and he enjoys going to Paul's mother's house." Greeley said, "That's wonderful." Sammy nodded in agreement. When it started getting hot, the two bands headed back to the hotel, took showers, and had lunch...

The Radiant Terriers and New Religion had recently collaborated on an album together. They were going to go on a tour across the country together to promote the new album. That morning, Leila was having breakfast with her aunt and uncle. Her aunt asked, "Are wewe excited, dear?" Leila said, "Oh, yes. I can't wait to see my new Marafiki again." Her dog, Paul, barked in agreement. After finishing her breakfast, Leila helped wash the dishes. She then made sure all of her essentials were packed. Just then, she heard a horn honk. She said, "That's the tour bus. Come on, Paul, let's go!" When she got...

Friday arrived. After school let out, Anjanette and Becky walked to the mall. Becky said, "This is so nice." The first store they stopped in was the record store. Anjanette said, "This is a really nice record store. I don't know why I never went in here before." Becky said, "First time for everything, right?" Anjanette laughed. "Right." Becky went to the Beatles section. Anjanette said, "You like the Beatles too?!" Becky said, "Yeah! Didn't Ferdinand tell you?" Anjanette said, "I don't think so." They each got some CD's. The two Marafiki browsed for a while. Just then, they saw Ferdinand. Ferdinand...

One siku not long after she'd recovered, Anjanette was just finishing her volunteer work for the siku kwa taking some of the mbwa out for a run in the rescue yard. She had saved Blitz for last so that she could spend zaidi time with him, and also because of something she'd asked her Uncle Bruce for when he came to pick her up that day.
Tammy's father came out to check on her. “Blitz has really warmed up to you,” he remarked, seeing the German Shepherd's lolling tongue and wagging tail.
Anjanette smiled. “I've loved working with him.”
“And you've done a great job with everything around here,...

The drive to the hospital seemed like hours. Everyone was silent. They were too worried about Anjanette to talk. Ferdinand was uneasy. How could this happen to Anjanette? What if she never woke up? What if he was going to lose his best friend for real? No, she had to be okay. She just had to! Tammy was still distraught. She couldn't stop thinking of the incident. She remembered hearing glass break and then seeing Anjanette lying on the floor, unresponsive. Blitz was desperately trying to wake her. What would Blitz do if Anjanette never woke up? Sure, he would still find a home, but Anjanette...

“How is she?” Ferdinand burst through the door of Sweet Critters Pet Rescue, pulling Becky after him kwa the hand.
Tammy's father was sweeping up the debris and broken glass from the window, which had a sheet of plastic tacked over it, covering up the hole and keeping out the worst of the wind and the rainwater. Tammy's mother was explaining what had happened to a very tense-looking Uncle Bruce, sounding very upset herself. Tammy was kneeling on the floor hugging Blitz, who was making increasingly loud whimpering noises, and trying to comfort him.
Tammy's mother turned as they came in, and...

The inayofuata siku at school, Ferdinand came up to his Marafiki with Becky. He said, "Tammy, Anjanette, I'd like wewe to meet Becky. I met her at the pet store yesterday. She's new here." Tammy smiled and said, "Hi, Becky! It's nice to meet you." Anjanette gave an unenthusiastic "hello". Becky gave a laugh and said, "You don't have to act so shy, Anjanette. I promise I'm not dangerous." Anjanette just burst into tears and walked away. Becky called after her, "Wait, Anjanette! I was only joking around with you. I want to be friends!" But Anjanette had already strayed from earshot. Ferdinand said, "I...

Ferdinand walked into the pet shop, his mind preoccupied with other things. Anjanette had been uigizaji strange ever since they had started high school some weeks ago. He wondered if something was happening to upset her, but there was nothing wrong that he could see. He'd asked her a couple times, but she told him it was just hormones. He supposed maybe that was all it was. After all, his hormones acted up every now and then too. And Anjanette had had a much harder life than him....
Ferdinand bent down to reach the extra-large bags of Orion's favourite dry food, the only brand of dry chakula he would...

Summer was over. It was time for Anjanette, Ferdinand, and Tammy to start school again. That morning, while having breakfast, Anjanette had a talk with her uncle, Bruce. She said, "Ferdinand, Tammy, and I were talking the other siku about our passions. We all have different passions, which means we'll have different career paths." Uncle Bruce said, "Well, we all have different things we love. That's part of being human." She said, "I know, but it's just that after graduation, we might not ever see each other again." He said, "I'm sure you'll get to see each other. I still on occasion see some...

Tammy's parents were delighted to see Anjanette taking an interest in their shelter. "We can always use zaidi volunteers," her father said. "There's always plenty to do around here!"
Anjanette grinned. Helping to take care of Tammy's parents' rescue wanyama felt exciting. She couldn't wait to tell Tammy and Ferdinand, and also find out what they were thinking of doing. The inayofuata time they were all hanging out together, standing outside and enjoying the late summer sunshine, she told them. She couldn't help her words coming out in an eager rush.
Tammy giggled. "That's so great, Anjanette! My parents...

Two years had passed since Anjanette met her friends, Ferdinand and Tammy. It had also been two years since Anjanette started living with her uncle, Bruce, and since she adopted her Collie, Misty. Misty had grown into a mature adult. Anjanette even believed that if Misty were human, she'd be wise beyond her years. Anjanette, Ferdinand, and Tammy were now teenagers. Ferdinand even gained a very deep voice, almost as deep as Ringo Starr's. Anjanette even gained a deep voice, thankfully not deep enough to pass for a man. The three Marafiki were getting ready to start high school. Their high school...
