If you had more then 1 heart would you be extra nice or would it be a way to have power over everyone? Think about it.

My name is Lily I am 13 and I love cards, and I guess that’s where my story starts. Dad came home from work and he had bought me a deck of cards, I remember that the jokers were my favourite. (I guess they liked me too because…)

If I wasn’t playing I usually would sort the cards and made it so I knew where all the jokers were. It was a Sunday morning and I was beating Dad at cards with all my jokers, and a while later Dad got sick of losing. I went back into my room. The thing was I noticed that 1 of my jokers was missing, and strangely after a while all of them had gone…

(2 years later) Happy birthday everyone yelled, I had just turned 15. I went to school that day and as normal I went around making fun of people talking back to teachers and of course threatening everyone who got in my way. I was the meanest most feared bully ever at my school.

… HHAAAA!! It was then I realized I had 5 HEARTS! You see I had been getting heartburn so I went to the doctor and now I know I have more then one heart. Suddenly it all came back to me, remember when I was 13 I told you I loved my jokers well they gave me their hearts. Oh, I just remembered I had made a deal with all the jokers and they want their hearts back quite soon. Oops maybe I’m overdue, ok well the main thing is to stay calm… That’s it! If I can convince them I loved them so much that I wanted to keep the hearts and not let them know I forgot about the deal. After 3 months every thing was normal and I had 1 heart. Ho, I almost forgot no one is scared of me anymore so now every one is happy but I don’t make deals from now on.
