{"product_id":"2940150934825","title":"Alien Me: Part II","description":"Tessa  woke  up  to the  smell  of  bacon and eggs floating into her room. \"Oh  that smells so good\", she said  as  she  waltzed  into the kitchen  where  Ooslah  was  cooking  and  singing. \u003cbr\u003e \"Good  morning, Tessa,  I hope  you are  hungry.\"\u003cbr\u003e \"Famished. When are  you going to show  me  where  you get all this food  from?\"  she asked, peeking  over  his  shoulders  as he cooked. Ooslah  did not  answer. Remembering  the  incident  with  the MKR caused  him  to want  to exercise  caution  with  Tessa. Was  she  ready?\u003cbr\u003e \"Hello,  anybody  home in there?\"  Tessa  said in his  ear, laughing.\u003cbr\u003e \"Oh  my,  yes! You caught me daydreaming\".  he  clucked, \"Today  Tessa.  We will go together  today.\"  He  put  down his  spatula,  folded  his  wings and  turned  to face  her, \"but you  must  promise  me  that you  will do  as I say  and  listen to me at all times,  understand?\" \u003cbr\u003e \"Yes  I understand\"  Tessa  said  wistfully  as  she grabbed  a piece  of bacon and shoved  it  in her mouth. \"Umm,  that is  so good\", she  licked  her  fingers.\u003cbr\u003e \"I am serious Tessa\",  Ooslah said slowly and softly, staring right at her.  Tessa  stopped  and  looked  at Ooslah. \u003cbr\u003e \"It  is  very dangerous  out  there Tessa. I was almost  captured the last  time. This is not a game.\"  \u003cbr\u003e \"I promise I will listen to you  and do what you tell me to do Ooslah. Cross my heart,\" Tessa  gestured. Of course her fingers  were crossed  behind  her  back  with  the  other  hand.\u003cbr\u003e \"Okay then,  let's  eat.\" Not  only  did he prepare eggs and bacon, there  was  also  a huge stack  of  pancakes  and maple  syrup and  fresh  orange juice.  Tessa  filled  herself stopping  only  when she  was done. Ooslah  watched  her eat  amazed  at how much food  she  could  put  away  while  he pecked  his special treat  of  fresh  prairie  grass  and  sunflower seeds. \u003cbr\u003e When they finished, Ooslah  cleared  the table  and  placed a large  map  there. He  pointed  to the  area  of  Alameda  county.  \"This  is  where  we  are headed  today. I  saw many fields  there on a fly over.  If  we are lucky  we will find vegetables  and  fruit  and maybe  more  chickens!\"\u003cbr\u003e \"Why  are  we  going  all the way  to  California  when we are in Alaska?  Aren't there any farms  closer than that?\"  Tessa asked.\u003cbr\u003e \"California  is, or  was  the  bread  basket  for  the  U.S.  we  have a better  chance  of  finding food  there than anywhere.\" Ooslah replied.\u003cbr\u003e \"That is over  three  thousand miles  away!  How  long is that  going to take?  What if  I get tired or  I have to  go to the bathroom?\"  \u003cbr\u003e \"Tessa, please stop sniveling  like  a girl.\"\u003cbr\u003e \"I am a girl!\"\u003cbr\u003e \"A special  girl, remember, and I am a special Bird. Remember  when I brought you here, on my back?\u003cbr\u003e \"Yes  I do, and that  took a  long time,\"   said Tessa.","brand":"Rose Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080455405808,"sku":"2940150934825","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150934825_p0.jpg?v=1763756801","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150934825","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
