The Littlest Angel Page #2

Well, you know it was created

by God himself

and there were trees to climb

and brooks to fish

and caves to play hide 'n' seek,

the swimming hole and sun

and rain

and dark and dawn

and the thick mud that

squished between your toes.

And here, even though

l try to do angel stuff,

l miss things the way

they were on earth.

l'm going to show you

all heaven has to offer

once you've earned

your full-grown angel wings.

Yeah well,

how come mine

never seem to grow?

Simple, you haven't completed your

good deeds class at the academy.

You mean if l do that, l'll grow big

wings like yours and Logan's?

Not quite.

For you see, Littlest,

everything you've been

learning so far

makes it easier for you

to be a good angel.

Next you'll be required

to master minor miracles

in good deeds class.

When you've done that,

then you'll be required

to travel to earth

and perform three

honest-to-goodness

unselfish good deeds

and earn your angel wings.

But for now,

l think you'll find

this area of heaven

has a little bit more of what's been

making you so homesick.

Wow!

Look what l can do!

But a million boys can do that.

Look what

an angel can do, Littlest.

Awesome!

You see, Littlest, there are lots

of fun benefits to being an angel.

You mean l can do that too?

How? Show me, Angel Eve.

- Please!

- As with everything in life

and here in the hereafter,

practice makes perfect.

You do already

have the angel power.

Try it.

Ah, it's getting away!

How do l make it

come back to me?

With practice, Littlest.

Just practice.

Wow! Angemals.

Angel Eve, look!

There's the dog.

That's him. He still has

my rope belt around his neck.

Wow! Did you see that?

- He caught my halo.

- A halo for Halo.

- What do you mean?

- He caught your halo

and his name

happens to be Halo too.

- You know him?

- Halo!

Please bring Littlest his halo.

Hi, Halo. Can l keep him?

Please, Angel Eve?

Can l bring him back

to Celestial City with me?

Can l? Can l, please?

lt's a little different

here in heaven.

Here we don't keep pets.

All the animals live free.

They have a beautiful part of heaven

all to themselves right here

in angemal countryside.

But you can come visit this place

and so many other wondrous lands

all over heaven once you've completed

your angel training at the academy.

Now it's time we get back.

Bye, Halo. Bye!

- What's wrong, Littlest?

- Nothing.

ls there anything other than

the dog you'd like to have?

This is heaven, after all.

There's a box l left hidden

in a secret spot back home.

lt's filled with treasures l've

collected and it reminds me of home.

l know if l only had them

l wouldn't miss earth so much.

Yes well, l'm not sure that's what you

should be thinking about right now.

Not when there is so much

you still need to accomplish.

Go to class and work hard,

my littlest angel.

l'm telling you, Logan,

the littlest angel

must be taught a lesson.

No more Mr. Nice Angel from me.

l've been far too lenient.

When he comes back

l'm going to teach that little

insubordinate that what Alban says

goes at Angel Academy.

And so he thought and thought.

Hmm, maybe there's a way

l can get my box

and fly the highest

in flight training class.

And finally he concocted

a devilish little plan

to get back to earth

and find his beloved treasure box--

and get in a little flying practice.

l'll never be able to fly

all the way to earth

to get my box

with these puny wings.

Whoa!

Wahoo! Look at me.

l'm flying.

Whoa! Uh-oh.

Whoa whoa!

Looks like we got

a little failure to fly.

l got him.

Whoa!

l haven't seen an angel land that hard

since Lucifer got kicked out of heaven.

You can talk?!

Of course l can talk.

This is heaven.

So where are you heading

with the faux feathers, little guy?

l'm trying to get to earth, but l'm not

quite sure how to get out of heaven.

Funny, most everyone we know

wants to get into heaven.

- You can talk too?

- Well, me too.

lt's heaven, you know?

And us too!

Yeah yeah,

but back to you, flyboy.

Just a wild guess,

but something tells me

you haven't graduated good deed class

to earn your full wings.

Not exactly, but l'm gonna

start trying real hard.

Do you know which way

angels go when they-- you know,

- go to earth?

- Oh sure.

But l also know they've got

heavenly reasons

they bop back and forth

between heaven and earth.

Doing God's work.

What happens if an angel has

a really good reason to go to earth,

but hasn't quite done

his three good deeds yet?

Uh, hmm.

Well, to tell you the truth, no idea.

Hey, any of youse

know what happens?

Nope, but l'm sure

it's a really--

really bad idea.

Why are you so anxious

to get down there anyway?

l have to get back

my special box.

lt's filled with all

my earthly treasures.

Oh, a treasure box, huh?

Yes, and once l've got it,

l know l'll be happy here in heaven.

And l'll be able to try real hard

at Angel Academy.

And l'll do my three good deeds

and l'll earn my wings.

Easy easy. Sheesh.

A type-A angel

if ever there was one.

l get it. The box is

real important to you.

And if l had it, l know l could learn

to shake up and fly right.

l believe that's "shape up

and fly right."

Really really bad idea.

Listen, kid, l may happen

to know a particular cloud

where all the earthbound angels,

you know, come and go from.

Great! Where is it?

- You've got to show me.

- Up in your neck of the clouds.

You know, Celestial City?

l've watched them lots of times.

But l thought angemals

didn't like to go there.

Some of us make the rounds.

Like today,

when you almost

noogified me with that rope.

- Sorry about that.

- Fuggedaboutit.

Bygones and all that

other good stuff.

All right,

now here's what we'll do.

See we've gotta get

together on this thing...

And so Halo

and the littlest angel

became friends-- fast.

- lt's going to be a wonderful day.

- Oh, a beautiful day.

Well, this is it.

Last chance

to change your mind.

The world looks awfully big

from up here, Halo.

How will l find my house?

Huh. You know, l think l've heard

all you do is use your angel vision.

Angel vision? What's that?

To travel to earth using angel vision,

you close your eyes,

picture your exact

landing zone and jump.

Okay, l see my house

just the way it used to be.

Good. Now just

hold your nose and jump.

Any chance

you'd jump first?

Come on in, kid.

The air is fi-iiiine!

- We did it, Halo!

- Yep, we pulled off a heaven break.

Hey, are you sure

we're in the right spot?

My angel vision worked, Halo.

That's my village over there.

Come on, let's fly like the wind.

Whoa whoa whoa,

take it easy, pal.

Remember,

you're still a novice flapper.

Don't worry, l'm-- whoa!

--totally out of control.

Help, Halo!

l knew l should

have been a bird dog.

Hurry, Halo, hurry!

Just relax. l got-- whoa!

- My halo!

- What?

Not you, my angel halo.

Easy does it now.

Whew.

That was-- oh no!

Your wings.
