Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for February 28, 2025

Erosion hasn’t been kind to it.

Maybe it still has some of Marigold’s snot on it.

Guess that rock really is nothing to sneeze at.

it bounced right off her heavenly nostrils.

Solid start to a friendship.

Heck, Bulk and Skull became buddies after the latter put a popsicle stick down his back. The former deciding not to clobber him.

I’ve always seen the incident with the rock and the nose on April 22, 2012, as being how Phoebe and Marigold meet. However, the magic moment of true, committed friendship happened on December 22, 2012. It still brings tears of joy to my eyes and is an inspiration often seen in my stories.

Like fingerprints, Phoebe, no two are the same!

And so we mark the next beginning with the first beginning.

Keep that rock handy. In a few years Phoebe may need to bop her first boyfriend on the nose. Just for luck.

Yay! The original boopstone!

Now, if they find the rock Kevin and Miles found in “Crabgrass,” they may just fuze the two universes together

True ‘dat!

The magical snot still lingers on it, you see.

Yeah, I figured that would be how she could tell. You don’t just bean a unicorn in the head without some magic getting rubbed off in the process.

Oh yes, that rock definitely has a magical aura imprinted on it.
