'''''Beedlemania''''' was the tenth story in the [[Bernice Summerfield]] anthology ''[[A Life of Surprises]]''. It was written by [[Nev Fountain]]. | |||
== | == Plot == | ||
[[Bernice Summerfield|Benny]] is invited to [[Beedle]] to arbitrate between the [[Knyy'd]]s and the [[Mystic Wizard]]s of [[Magee's World]] as they argue about ownership of a set of [[ruin]]s; whilst the Knyy'ds claim that it is the site of one of their [[battle]]s, the Wizards claim that it is a [[theatre]] where one of their most powerful once did a [[summer]] season. She is welcomed by [[Demjely]], the [[Geramon]] [[ambassador]], and meets [[Foogle]], a [[Beta Centauran]] who has come to assist the [[Arbiter (Beedlemania)|Arbiter]]. They observe the arrival of a consignment of joke products ordered by the [[High Japester]], [[J'Kdy'nn]] refusing to hand over his [[sword]] and the [[Great Alfredo]] being stopped for having a [[Smamfa]] on his person. | |||
The next day, the Arbiter goes missing. Foogle is worried, but Benny brushes it off. As she heads to her room after taking a shower, she sees the Smafma and follows her. The Smafma enters the Arbiter's ship, but Benny is attacked by several figures in camouflage. | The next day, the Arbiter goes missing. Foogle is worried, but Benny brushes it off.
