Little Miss Fortune
Your brother is a WHAT?
I am telling you the truth.
Werewolf. Right. If that’s the truth, then –
I AM PINOCCHIO! I AM ALIVE! I CAN SING! I CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!
Uno. I am serious.
I know. You are seriously crazy. What on earth – WEREWOLF? Sorry, V, I’m not biting that.
Besides, if your brother is a werewolf, then you must be a werewolf, too, right?
This is going to be difficult.
Let’s put that to a test. Look at this. What do you see?
It’s a picture of the full moon.
Shouldn’t you be growing some fur and making ugly faces now?
Who do you think I am? FANGFACE? THAT PHOTO WILL NOT TURN ANYONE INTO A DECENT WEREWOLF!
UNO, LISTEN TO ME.
NO, YOU LISTEN TO ME! Your brother is not a werewolf and no one will hurt you as long as I’m here!
I will protect you, Veritas.
I swear it.
Uno, I love you. I wish you were my brother.
Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.
Here, maybe a bit of good fortune will cheer you up.
Okay, now close your eyes, think of your brother, then flip the page.
That is, um, a little too accurate to be true.
Okay, maybe the deck of oracles will give you a better fortune.
Let’s ask the question: Will Veritas escape trouble yet again?
Uh-oh.
… Can’t you doom-mongers at least try to be a little less blunt?
Bah, why believe a silly little book!
Only you can write your own future.
I … guess so.
Stay close and be my lucky charm, okay?
The Fortune Cookie Book is from the little library Jenny has thoughtfully donated to our household. Uno’s neckpieces are gifts from Bernadette. The little bunny barrette is one of the many, many hair accessories Tita Jane has been collecting for Veritas. Thank you for spoiling us!

I just got floored. Most especially by Uno’s sweetness and that Pinocchio bit. My day is totally made.
March 31st, 2006 - 05:05
(My comment got eaten again!)
I just love your characters. They all somehow have doubts and insecurities that make them so real and so lovable. While the rest of their kind are trying so hard to be senselessly evil and cool, your guys are all full of wisdom and heart. Much much loff X3
March 31st, 2006 - 16:25
Wow. I am floored you actually analyzed my characters. But you’re right (and you are most of the time). Imperfections make them real. Besides, if Uno was that pretty and had a complex, I won’t be able to stand him myself.
April 3rd, 2006 - 02:12
I think I will be able to stand Uno anyways. I am THAT crazy about him. It’s all your fault, Joey. You created the perfect Tsukasa. T_T
March 31st, 2006 - 05:08
Uno, you sing and you changed the world (at least for some people) and that’s the truth.
March 31st, 2006 - 16:27
That may be right. And I am glad my name is not Pinocchio.
March 31st, 2006 - 13:31
Veritas, you can’t be unlucky when you have a guardian who looks as hot as that.
March 31st, 2006 - 16:30
You have a point there.
Hey. Aren’t you a Lugosi fan?
April 1st, 2006 - 02:51
No, I’m not a Lugosi fan. I’m a Lugosi fanatic. But sometimes it’s hard to ignore Uno.
March 31st, 2006 - 13:32
Don’t worry, Veritas! You have a big fanbase to count on when Lobo comes!
March 31st, 2006 - 16:35
Well, after they saw that my brother is a shirtless tattooed badass in leather, not anymore.
March 31st, 2006 - 13:59
i wish i had an uno to hug me, too! lucky lucky veritas! T__T
March 31st, 2006 - 17:01
You might find your own Uno at the Yahoo! Japan auctions!
April 1st, 2006 - 01:03
There’s only one Uno. I should know. I have a Tsukasa but he’s no Uno. He’s just … Tsukasa.
March 31st, 2006 - 14:06
Oh, my! *giggle* That pinocchio bit is the absolute best, Uno! (And, Joey, that photo is love! Seriously.)
Veri, with Uno there you should not fret. (‘Sides, isn’t your bro directionally-challenged anyway?) Sorry that I sent you something that was such a harbinger of doom.
PS – I was unaware that the little chinese food box even opened! Too cool! *grin*
March 31st, 2006 - 17:05
Oh please, do not encourage Joey. She wanted me to do a dance segment for this. She is seriously crazy.
The Fortune Cookie Book is the coolest! I love it! Besides, I realize a patronizing fortune-teller would me much worse.
March 31st, 2006 - 14:12
Oh dear. ^^; Maybe you shoulda clarified ‘werewolf’ for Uno, as in, not the type to grow fur and fangs and go on a rampage during full moon. ^^; And ‘sides, Uno, you’d only be a werewolf if you got bitten, so it’s entirely possible that Veritas is related to one but isn’t actually one herself.
…those fortune tellers are a liiittle bit ominous. O_____O;
March 31st, 2006 - 17:07
Or if you took a drug that addled your brain and made you want to bloody people up. Pity, Uno is too dorky for these things.
Are you sure you want to meet him in Bali? He will be there from the 19th to the 29th.
April 2nd, 2006 - 13:36
Of course I still wanna meet him! ^_^ He’ll probably get freaked out by my oddness though. XD He’ll probably believe that I’M a were-something. >D
April 2nd, 2006 - 14:41
Oh, don’t count on it. I’m in advertising, the chosen profession of oddballs.
March 31st, 2006 - 16:51
Awwwww I wanna be hugged by Uno too
Poor Veritas I hope nothing bad will happen to her *_*
And I love the Pinoccio part that was so funny XD
March 31st, 2006 - 17:09
*BIG HUG AND MORE*
I should leave Mistula and be a comedian, you think?
March 31st, 2006 - 18:34
^^;; Umm… Well, despite what a book and a pack of cards say, I’m sure that no harm will really come, Veritas. I mean, Joey invested a lot to get you so she’ll make sure that you’re not going to be harmed… right?
April 1st, 2006 - 01:25
Yeah. Uno said so. No harm will come to Veritas as long as he’s there. Right Uno? Right? Even if a pack of extremely hungry wolves are gonna be involved?
April 1st, 2006 - 15:48
That’s a practical thought, Bernadette. Anyways, I should hide all the Underworld DVDs here so Veritas will no longer entertain any silly ideas about werewolves.
March 31st, 2006 - 23:14
Ehem…
KISSSSSSSSS!!!! KIIIIISSSS!!!!!!!!!!
April 1st, 2006 - 15:52
NO. Prison orange is not my color.
April 1st, 2006 - 16:25
Uno, my man. True love does not discriminate colors.
…’side’s, its only a crime if you get caught. >:D
April 1st, 2006 - 00:44
AWWW UNO, I love you! You’re such a sweetheart! X3
And Veritas, I did a reading for you with my Tarot cards…I asked what would happen to you with regard to your brother. The cards said something about you being released from a situation, the old giving way to the new, and solutions being found. I hope that somewhat better news as compared to that stupid “not this time” those whatchamacallit cards said.
April 1st, 2006 - 00:46
Oops, typo. The last sentence is supposed to be “I hope that’s somewhat better news as compared to that stupid “not this time†those whatchamacallit cards said.”
April 1st, 2006 - 15:54
I thought the little fortune-telling cards inside the Chinese fastfood box are cute! Tactless, yes, but cute.
I love you, too, El. *hugs*
April 1st, 2006 - 16:02
WHOA, you read tarot cards? Maybe we can put up a booth up for you at the fair so we can earn cash!
I’m glad my future isn’t so bleak from your tarot. Thanks, El. X3 I guess I can let go of Uno now. He says it’s not right to take a shower with me.
April 1st, 2006 - 04:13
Loved the story and pictures. My boys recently took on a wolf-boy *not a werewolf, a wild boy* so we’ll see how that goes.
April 1st, 2006 - 16:04
Wow, not only do you have the same name as Joey, you have a wolf-boy, too! Amazing!
Wait. Are you Joey?
April 1st, 2006 - 05:38
Pinocchio, no strings attached.
your dolls are so alive. im such a fan. XD
April 1st, 2006 - 16:06
Pinocchio has no strings! He has a opinionated cricket, though. Which I don’t need, because it’s raining opinions here.
By the way, I AM ALIVE! And don’t call me doll. I’m a man!
April 1st, 2006 - 10:08
the pinocchio frame made me smile..Veritas maybe sometimes people are not ready for the truth..
April 1st, 2006 - 16:08
Jack Nicholson was right: THEY CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH.
Hey, Jack Nicholson was a werewolf, too. G-A-S-P.
April 1st, 2006 - 10:21
I am killed by the cute. *hugs Veritas* Don’t worry sweetie! Uno won’t let anything happen to you! ^o^/
April 1st, 2006 - 16:17
Well, hello! S’been a while since you’ve made yourself heard.
Thanks!
April 1st, 2006 - 11:43
That “I am Pinocchio” picture is very amsuing XD I laughed out loud when I saw that.
Uno is so sweet~ [a hug from little Chune for you^^]
[Another hug for Veritas from little Chune as well]
April 1st, 2006 - 16:19
Thank you, Chune! I finally saw your pictures at Loki’s. So cute! I will do a Pinocchio jig for you when we meet.
April 1st, 2006 - 11:52
Aww, I really thought Uno was about to go into a musical number there. XD
)
This is incredibly cute and sweet though. *full of the warm snuggly stuff* (We really are rooting for you Veritas, deep down. Uno will keep the big bad wolf away.
April 1st, 2006 - 16:20
I wanted him to do a dance number but he said it will ruin his rockstar image. Bah.
January 6th, 2008 - 17:22
sigh! I always wanted Uno to do a dance number
. And ‘sides, he looks cute dancing (I THINK SO!).
April 3rd, 2009 - 14:00
BAGAY KAYO!!!! RUUUUNNN!!!!!!
