Get a Slurpee and Suck it up
Jess gracefully and cheerfully danced through the colourful blooming forest of all kinds of
flowers and trees, the flowers were as beautiful as a purple or pink sun. The rain was still
freely and slowly dripping off the trees with the flower petals from the night before. Jess’
long smooth golden hair shined brightly in the rising sun and her light blue sparkling eyes
glistened strongly. Every morning the overgrown grass whooshes as Jess dances without a
care. Jess always sees steam coming from the huge and nicely built house that was made
out of bamboo and leaves, it was Stephanie who loves to cook breakfast every morning.
Stephanie usually cooks breakfast and lunch while Jess usually cooks dinner and dessert.
Stephanie’s fluffy, silky brown hair is as strong as a rope and she loves to brush her hair.
Boom, crash, blop, blop, blop is all they heard that night as the rain heavily danced, the
thunder played electrical guitars and the lightening turned ten torches on and off at the
same time. Wouldn’t you be pretty scared if you were in a bamboo and leaf house that
almost gets blown away with the swishing of the wind?
The next morning Jess and Stephanie wondered around the newly filled creeks and ponds
slowly flowing, the light was still shining softly through the light green waving trees. “Thank
god it’s over” they both sighed.
As the beautifully looking sun danced as it lowered down, down, down than down even
more faster every time. The forest was so dark at night not even three candles and torches
could light up the whole house, they had chicken for dinner and a slurpee, Jess secretly
grinned. As the fully bright sun began to rise Jess went out for her morning dance she
stepped into nothingness! Jess ran straight inside and awakened Stephanie they both didn’t
understand, how could this happen to millions of trees during the night with no noise….
Stephanie still wasn’t sure if she was sleeping, so every minute she pinched herself just in
case she was deep asleep in the imagination of her mind. “Why did this have to happen to
us” Stephanie screamed running around like a headless chicken. “It’s fine there’s obviously a
solution to this horrible disaster” whispered Jess calmly with a voice like nothing bad
happened. Still with no food in their rumbling and growling stomachs they tried to find a
reasonable explanation. Nooooooo……
“Ahhhh” screamed Stephanie as she had a huge melt down. Jess had explained the whole
prank to Stephanie. “I put a huge bit of canvas around the house and over to see how you
would react in a situation like this, but I didn’t mean any harm at all” Jess sighed still
grinning with a slight chuckle. Stephanie screamed, “I thought you were my friend” so loud
that the solar system would have exploded if Jess wouldn’t have stopped her.
Weeks later they got over it.
