Will it be the end?
I have been in this tiny, mysterious box FOREVEEEEEEER!I am sick of it...
“Are you really?” I hear a little, squeaky voice gasp. Bumps stick. Feeling a tiny bit apprehensive, I hear a deep, vicious scream. "Bro me too, sitting here breaks my tan biiiiig time.”
“Who is that?" Orange calls from across the side.
“Bro it's me Kiwi.”
“Yeah" Banana adds.
“I am getting brown and gross,” Banana whispers...
I smell gunk. I feel rough. Ready to leave, but really need to stay. What will it be? Here? Out there? We all feel a different feeling. A little Disturbing, ill, annoying feeling. Vomit releases in this small room called lunchbox really. I try. Try even harder and it automatically stops and freezes. AAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Oh I have a genius idea, even though my brain is a seed. I climb higher and even higher until I reach science book Steven. He doesn't speak. Just comes in and out every now and then. They all follow 1 by 1, Kiwi, Banana, Orange and even Private Peach. Wanting to leave, we all have to get quiet if we want to get out that crazy world. Up the math book. Across Charlotte's web. Around Weir Do 5. Here we are up, up and away Kiwi leaves wanting to tan once again.
"Nooooooooo!” Banana exclaims.
"Tell my story!" shouts Kiwi in a freakishly different voice.
Ohhhhhhh! Yet another awesome idea. I am on fire today. I look. Private Peach looks. We all look. 1, 2... "Just help" Kiwi gets straight to the solution. Ruler.
"Get the ruler!" I exclaim as loud as possible. I think to myself, "I will help Kiwi.”
"I will.”
1 by 1. 2 by 2. We chase down the ruler and under the Orange colour cone. "DON DON DOOON.” Around the gigantic kids. Though the freakishly strong man. We run. Run some more. Up. Down. Down. Up.
"Kiwi.”
Kiwi joins. Around the freakishly strong man. Through the kids. Run. Run. Run away.
I guess the child would never taste the sweat delicious us. The rest is history. "Let’s go to the beach,” Kiwi asks. OH Hey!!!
