Matt Doppelganger bottled his emotions to a fine bouquet. Being a twin in Hogglebrush was so commonplace.
Elizabeth Sparkle raised one snooty auburn eyebrow at the tattered banana in his hand. Elizabeth’s puppy yowled, stuck in a drain.
The Sun faced the moon in an eclipsing duel. Clouds danced like swimming monkeys. Then the world paused. Matt Doppelganger galloped like a gifted giraffe and grabbed the calamitous canine.
Startled, Miss Sparkle found her puppy in her hands. Two klutzy koalas spying, tumbled down, grasping branches, barely missing …Hogglebrush’s handsome hero’s uncorking emotions and kissing the former snooty Miss; sparkling now.

Just wonderful. Whatever’s going on in the middle is obviously powerful magic because the guy’s getting the gal at the end. And that’s what counts.
