Hi my name is Nanny Plum and I am going to tell you a little experience of mine. It all started a long time ago.

At 2:oo am, I was woken by my nose being tickled by……. I think it was dust, so I tried to swipe it away but I couldn’t. I woke up and peered at a lady that I thought was Debby from the fairy tale ‘Debbie’s evil plan’ which would be ridiculous because fairy tales don’t come true, so I blinked again. She was still there and then she gave me a little tap on my head with what looked like a wand she used. So I picked my head up and said, “Is that really you Debby? Debby the evil witch from the fairy tale Debby’s evil plan? But I thought fairy tales can’t come true!” “Oh yes they can,” Debby cried evilly and then disappeared like a hologram. But holograms don’t exist on Pluto. Okay, this is all way too confusing so I will have to figure this all out later.

When I saw Debby disappear I decided to follow her. I pop on my uggboots and my jumper and of course my fluff pants. So warm…

I headed out of my room to the front door and opened it. Just as I opened it a big gush of wind passed me and that threw me to the ground. That’s when every thing went black.

I was woken by an officer of some kind. He saw me wake up and then groaned, “Are you okay?” I replied, “Kind of, but who are you and what are you?” “Well, I am a police investigator/ officer,” officer Heartrake.” “Very well. Thankyou,” I remarked. “Just to let you know the question was a yes or no answer!” My reply was, “Well I am now.” “Well then, my job here is done!” officer Heartrake cried delightfully and slammed the door after himself.
So as I was woken by EVIL DEBBY, I was too so tired and that is how I am exactly feeling! So I staggered over to my bed and fell asleep under my covers.
12 hours later (the next day)
There was a knock on the door and I had to answer it because you can’t just not answer it so I did. But before I went to answer it I looked at my alarm clock and it was 4:00 in the morning! So I stumbled to the door and groaned, “It’s 4:00 in the morning, what do you want?!” “Hello my name is, um, I mean our names are Gem G.E.M and Jewel J.E.W.E.L and we would like you to come to our haunted house/castle in the West.” Then I yawned back at the kids, “Fine.” I headed out the door the door with Gem and Jewel to their ‘haunted house’. But we got trapped!
