Mini Me has travelled far and wide. Sometimes it was to get

away from his often domineering and abusive mum. But most of the time it was just to see parts of the world where others like him, gather and hope to find true love.

When he met the girl of his dreams in Auckland, he was finally happy for the first time.

The evil Vlad who had captured them both, had seemed to be much friendlier these days. He had sent Mini’s girlfriend on a training tour of Siberia, where Vlad said she would be treated like a queen. For Mini, Vlad and his partner Cruella de Vlad, had decided to take him on a trip with them.

This is the story of his journey.

After a long plane journey, Mini found himself in Perth, Australia.

....some time later, they hit the road.

“It’s a bloody big country sport...... I mean Vlad...”

The long drive continued and Mini couldn’t wait to see the sea again...

“How close would you like to get to the big pelicans Meester Me?” asked Vlad sneeringly.

Mini started to relax a little but he wasn’t quite sure if Vlad was joking about feeding him to the

big pelicans or not.

Mini thought he’d have a stretch of his legs. He shouted over to Vlad “Fancy a beer?”

Vlad didn’t reply, so Mini set off to the water front in search of him.

As Mini got to the waters edge, he could see why Vlad warned him not to wander off anywhere.

Mini thought he’d relax ‘til Vlad returned.

Some time later.....

“Vee are goink to keel you...Mwuah ha ha ha....”

“...and your remains vill never be found....ha ha ha.....”

“ You.......villl....... Die!!!!....”

Aaaaggghhhhhh!!!

Just a bad dream Mini?....

Or...

Vlad, Cruella and Mini arrived at their Hotel, where Mini....

....watched a bit of telly.....

....and relaxed a little writing some postcards.

Next day....

“Why do all the roads look the same Vlad?...”

The long drive continued....

They travelled further and further....

......further and further...

....and saw lots of interesting places....

....nice beaches...

...and places with weird names...

...until they reached another hotel...

It was even hotter here, so Mini went for a dip.

Meanwhile, in Vlad and Cruella’s room, Cruella asked Vlad a question......

“Ven shall vee kill him herr Vlad?”

Next day, Mini, oblivious to what evil Cruella said, decided to show his appreciation to Cruella for letting him come on holiday with them.

“Hey Cruella, I just wanna say thanks, I’m having a great time!”

Mini started to explore the wildlife. Here he is with turtles. “Get a lttle closer” Vlad said.

“This close enough Vlad?” asked Mini nervously.

“This is more like it, these can’t eat me can they Vlad!”

It was lunchtime. Mini had some food....

...and drink, before they decided to go for a swim in the sea

“Are you sure we should swim in the sea Vlad?”

“Can’t we swim in the pool instead please Vlad?”

“Those fish are bigger than me Vlad”

“Don’t vorry Mini, you vill be fine!” said Vlad sneekily.

It was getting dark, but Vlad still wanted Mini to swim some more.

“Don’t want to swim here Vlad, they’re fishing for really big fish”.

Mini managed to make it back to the hotel without anymore swimming.

Mini thought it strange that Vlad kept asking him to swim, particularly in croc and jellyfish infested waters. He cast his mind back to the pelicans that first day.

But, meanwhile, back in Vlad and Cruella’s room....

“It has to be tomorrow, herr Vlad. A quick and efficient kill!”

Next day....

...there were more lovely places to see. But Mini was troubled by just how many things

could kill him here in Australia!

Still, at least he was pretty safe with this big old tortoise.

Later, they all decided to go on a surprise boat trip.

“So....What are we doing on this boat Vlad? What is there to see?”

“Just some fishing Mini, don’t vorry!”

“Care to svim Mini....”

Mini declined Vlad’s invitation to go swimming with the crocs. However Mini was slightly concerned at the look on Vlad’s face when he asked him to go and swim with the crocs.

“Probably nothing” he unconvincingly said out loud to himself.

Later, in Vlad and Cruella’s room.

“It must be done in Malaysia or Singapore now, herr Vlad.....do not fail me!”

So, off to Singapore and Malaysia they went.

“Hey! Look at me I’m on his right shoulder!”

“What are the Petronas Towers Vlad?” asked Mini“ You vill see very soon Mini!” replied Vlad

“They’re very high, Mini....ha ha ha”

Now they look happy? “Mwuah ha ha ha ha!!”

Is this the end for Mini Me?

Does he get thrown off the towers?

What about the love of his life stuck in Siberia?

Will they ever get together again???

The End ?
