Chipper, Slasherball and Me on the adventure of a lifetime

"Hurry up Chipper!" I said. I was as happy as the sun! My mom had let me go to the Wizard's Tower in search for the 'talking' spell. Chipper was a green and black 'thing'. He can turn into anything. He's kind and nice but somehow impatient. He can't talk unless we have the talking spell.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... stop stepping on me!" yelled the grumpy Slasherball. Slasherball was grumpy and rude because my mom thought he was my pet yesterday and had put him in the cage overnight.

The tower was very high. It was very cold outside. (Snowing) "Do you think there's anybody here? It says there isn't anybody inside the tower in a book. That the book is drivel!" I snapped. "It also says there's disobedient and mischievous monsters," said Slasherball as we climbed up the stairs. "Nnnn!" whined Chipper. "Whoa!" I yelled.

The stairs started to move. "Raaaarrgh!" came a fierce roar. Monsters and arrows started coming towards us. We darted left, right and I quickly took out a mesh my mum gave me. I threw it on the monsters. I knew it wasn't going to last long because it was made of twine. "Come on!" I yelled as I took Chipper and ran.

"Whoa!" I said, "Not again!" The floor started to rumble, and suddenly, a door slid open from the pile of planks. Chilly wind swished out, and suddenly, I was growing wings. I was becoming a dragon! I could sense any little movement. I stumbled a little while I tried to advance toward Chipper. Chipper withdrawn away into the darkness and whined. "It's okay, Chipper," I said, "I think." While I said that, I also reminded myself it was OK. I murmured, "I will - I mean - we will be having a very big and unnatural adventure indeed."

We deliberated who should go down into the floorboard tunnel when I said, "Maybe we should all go down into the hole!" "Fine, fine," said Slasherball. We all jumped down into the cold tunnel into the deep, dark blackness.

"I can't see! I can't see!" shouted a voice which I thought was Slasherball's. Chipper started to turn into a candle. I held up a 'Chipper' made candle and in no time, the room was filled with a soft glow of the dim light.

"It's a spell room!" I gasped, "Maybe we can find the spell!" We quickly searched around the little room, but Chipper had to stay as a candle. We found a light switch and I turned it on. Chipper gladly turned back to his normal self. We eventually found the spell. It was a 'hard-to-pronounce' spell. It was pronounced: Supercalifragilisticexpealidotious. I packed it into my bag to practice on later. "I wonder how would we get home," I said. Then, something caught my cat-like eye. It was a bird made of granite and crystal. It had something engraved on it. I held it in my scaly arms. Light swirled around me and I found out that I was back as a human. I took the gemstone and I said the word engraved, "fly."

I gently flew off the ground into to the still air and not so far away, were my two friends. We flew out of the window, over the tower and back home.

As I looked out the window of my house and smiled, it was an ending, yet it was also the beginning of my story.

Secret Surprise

I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked into the room. Was it true? Was he really standing in front of me? I was so excited that I scramble on him right after I stopped staring. My dream was actually true! My mom had bought me a real life horse!!! I rested on its soft, white mane. Its tail was swishing around like a snake. The horse had shining blue eyes. Its eyes were as blue as the sky! Its coat was a little dirty but I knew it was white. I decided to name him. "Hmmm..." I said out loud. I had to think of a name, I had to!

"Wam!" came a slam of the door which made me stop admiring my horse. I forgot! My mom was home. I ran out of the room and swept her up in a big (very big) bear hug. "Thanks for buying me a horse!" I said. "I did?" said my mom, startled. She soon turned back to her calm, ordinary self. She said, "OK, you may keep the horse, but remember, it's your responsibility!" "Anyway, you should go out with your horse and test your horse out. I will make plenty of apple - wait, it's a surprise!" With that, she hurried into the kitchen. I slowly took my horse and walked him out. His hooves went "clitter, clat" each time we walked on the floorboard. I could hardly wait to ride him!

As I strolled around the meadow on my horse, we stopped to rest by a lake. Next to the lake were many clovers. As I filled the bucket with water, I saw my horse nuzzle the clovers. "Wait!" I said out loud again, "Maybe I'll name you Clover!" Clover happily snorted, something caught my eyes. A 4-leaf clover! I plucked and thought of a wish. I didn't know what to wish for. I put the clover in the saddle pocket and rode home.

As I rode home, there was a luscious smell of apple pie. I could hear my mom singing. Then she laughed. Her laugh was like tinkling bells when someone moved it. I decided to got to our garden to see my plants. I walked into the garden to look for string beans. Oh! Boy oh boy! The string beans have turned to all kind of colors! I took out the wooden basket sitting on the side of the garden. I began to collect them. The basket was not big enough. I found a pot and put the rest of the string beans in. Instead of looking at the rest of the plants, I decided to make a basket from vines. When I finished,

Cast Aways

I looked at Lenox with a hopeful smile on my face. Lenox smiled a sad smile. Lenox was a nice little girl. She was the oldest person here. She had light brown hair. her hair was now knotted from not being brushed. George looked at Lenox with a little wetness in his eyes. George was a young boy with curly, blonde hair. He had blue eyes which used to be filled with happiness, but, was now filled with sorrow. I am the youngest cousin of all. I have dark brown hair with a hint of gold in it.

We were cutting coconuts in half and washing strawberries. We had been on the canoes for nearly 3 hours. We landed on this strange island. I wandered around the island. I felt strange.

Early next morning, while Lenox and George were asleep, I walked to the beach. The water crawled up to the shore. I sat on the soft white sand and began daydreaming of home. How surprised my mum would be be to find me. I closed my eyes and started to feel drowsy. "3, 2... 1," I said in my head, but I had already fallen asleep. I was woken by the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. I thought I was dreaming but I wasn't!!! A pumpkin the size of an apartment was floating toward Lenox! I quickly grabbed a pole and pushed it in the water. We had attached it yesterday to the boat, but it wouldn't fit. We had decided to put floaties on it. Anyways, I pushed with all my might. It stopped with a "swish". I was curious. Why was it here?

I started to walk to it. It was absorbing me; pulling me towards it. I ran straight to it and soon I reached the huge pumpkin. I was already knee level in the water!!! I felt around it and pulled out a crystal. It was as big as a watermelon. I slowly swam back and found that Lenox and George were looking at me in awe. I told them how I found it and when I finished, they were looking at me and the crystal with a gaping mouth. They looked like fish breathing!

I decided to hide it. When I woke up the next day, I told them that I'd go to the forest to explore. I dug a little hole the size of a foot and as deep as something that could fit a watermelon. I put the shiny crystal in and covered it with yellow grass and dried leaves.

After that day, I was woken up by a fierce roar. I bolted up and looked around. I saw a black dragon's head in the cracks of the trees. I also saw Lenox and George running for their lives. I knew something. "The crystal!" I said out loud. I leapt up and started running to the forest. My tired brain begged for rest, but I ignored the begging.

I easily found the crystal. I ran back to the beach. I thought about saving Lenox and George. My hand began to glow, a light flashed out. It was a dark green light. It swirled around and around the dragon. After one final roar, a flash of green shot out and disappeared. Now the dragon was green.

This dragon was very generous and apologized for his grumpy mood. We rode him home and I explained everything. When I got home, my astonished mother asked me what had happened. I wrote this story in one kind of book. Guess what the book is? Yes, you've just finished it.

The End.
