I was playing catch with my brother Max until my brother threw the ball too far. I went to get it in the hallway, as I went to grab the red ball I saw a crack in the wall in front of me. The creamy hard wall began to crack even more, I thought that was a sign to touch it and so I did. I caught myself flying until I touched the ground. I felt the grass tickle my feet, the wind making my hair float, trees swaying side to side, flying leaves circling around me, creatures walking and playing together. I said to myself “ this place is amazing! It has everything you can imagine.” I played all day long till the moon had risen and night had taken over. I woke up from a long day. I had mango cake for breakfast and the mango cake was delicious and healthy because it was made out of the fruit mango. Can you believe it! I heard hooves click-clacking from above, I turned myself to the direction where I heard it. I saw a carriage and a unicorn pulling it. I did not know who was in the carriage but I still said “ nothing is impossible here in this magical world” because I was excited to be here.
“ Hey there! Are you new here? said someone.
“Um, yes I am” I said in a calm voice.
“Cool, so what is your name? he asked.
“My name is Bella and who are you? ” I replied.
“ Well my name is Max,” he said.
Something popped up in my head, it was strange that I thought Max, my little brother, was the Max in front of me. The Max in front of me is wearing a green shirt, dark blue jeans and a black jacket, just like my little brother Max was wearing.
I asked Max “ are you Max blanket?”
“Yes, how did you know?” Said Max confused.
“I am your sitter max, you can’t fool me” I say.
“Oh, that is why your name was so familiar.” said Max.
I rolled my eyes then crossed my arms. I walked away and headed to a ship nearby.
“Do you want to ride across the ocean and discover more about this world,coz I do” I said staring.
“Or do you want to fly on a unicorn with me?” Max asked me.
“Yes!” I said in excitement.
“Ok, follow me to the unicorns!” Exclaimed Max.
Max and I ran to the unicorns as fast as we could, then we started to fly. We soar through the sky as we watch the world down below.
“This is awesome!” I yelled.
“I know right!” Max replied.
We landed on top of a huge dinosaur and slid down its tail. We sat down and relaxed.
“Bella! Bella!”
I woke up “NOOOOO!” I screamed.
“You scared me Bella’”said Max.
“Sorry”
I giggled.
“Why are you giggling?”
“Nothing!”
