I won an award for this story, a couple years back, so I’ve decided to post it up here. (: I was pretty young, so i had to edit it a bit, and add more in, but its pretty much the same.

——————————————————————————————–

Once upon a lily pad, there lived a family of frogs. The main character of our story, Frogger, is the elder brother of the family. He has a sister, Lily, who Frogger thinks as finally stopped acting like such a tadpole, is very out-going and fun, and is an absolute angel. (Okay, I lied. She is most likely the devils daughter.)

This (fantastic, brilliant, extra great…) story starts in an ordinary pond, on an ordinary morning.

“Stop! That’s my fly!”

“Is not.”

“Is too.”

“Is NOT!”

“Oh, stop being such a cane toad! Give me back my fly!!’

“Muuuuuum Frogger called me a-.”

Right after lily said that, her mother stuffed a fly into Lily’s mouth.

“You two have been snapping at each other all summer!” Sighed Mum.

“But Lily started-,” Frogger began, but his father cut him off. “Exactly my point. I have decided to take a Frogaday!”

“Now go get dressed.” Mum had to yell, because Lily and Frogger were squabiling over the window seats in the car. (Yes, frogs have cars.)

At last, the frogs were on the road to paradise. It was an awfully long car trip, plus pulling over a lot because Lily “had to go” but it turned out she was faking, just so that she could use a mirror.

When they finally got there, Frogger leapt out of the car, (over Lily) and cried out with happiness.

“Were HOME- I mean, were HERE!!!”

Lily climbed out in awe. “wow, look at those trees!” She turned to her father, who was climbing out.

“What are those round things attached to the tree Daddy?” She asked.

“I bet they are… Fly coconuts!” He laughed, and helped Mum out of the car.

Lily’s green jaw dropped, and then dashed up a tree quickly, with Frogger hot on her tail. As the frogs climbed right to the top, you could barely hear their mother say “I thought Lily was afraid of heights?”

Frogger grabbed two coconuts, and then dashed back down again. Lily grabbed two coconuts, was about to dash back down again when she realised how high up she was!

“Help!” she croaked. “I can’t get down!” Then she paused and said dramatically, “Oh, my fate as come at last!”

Frogger sighed, and jumped back up the tree.

“Lily! Ohmigosh! Why are you still up here?” He gasped.

“Um, I dunno, I cant really get down…”

“But they are going to chop the tree down!” He lied. “I have a net at the bottom, let’s jump.”

It took a bit of bribing and convincing, but eventually she jumped. She screamed, and laughed as she fell.

“WHEEEEEEE” She cried loudly, causing a few on-lookers to stare at them oddly. “This is awesome!”

She had so much fun from jumping out of a tree, that she didn’t even notice that there was no net.

“Now, I hope you don’t climb anymore trees.” Scolded Frogger. Lily just stared at him.

“Are you KIDDING? That was great! I’m going to climb up every single tree!” She said, and bounded away.

“Oh, man!” Moaned Frogger.

Oh, Frogger!

We left off with two missing children and no explanation…

Lucy and Katie continued down the incredibly neat hallway. “Okay, here’s my room. Let’s go,” Katie informed as she opened the door. “Ruth!” shouted Lucy with enthusiasm as she burst into the room. “Oh, Ruth, I’m so glad to see you! Why are you here?!? You’re suposed to be back home!” Lucy asked while giving her puzzled cousin a hearty squeeze. “I don’t know, Lucy. I was just trying to break down the situation when I heard your voice and BOOM here I am, in this overly-girly landfill,” replied Ruth in shock. “Ahem. That overly-girly landfill is my room, thank you very much,” mentioned an annoyed Katie. “Sorry. Did I say that? I meant… uh, cute? I’m Ruth, and this is Lucy,” Ruth changed emabarrassedly. “Anyway, it doesn’t matter. Let’s -” Lucy began. A sharp meeeooowwr thrashed in the air. “What-was-that?”asked Ruth fearfully. “That’s Izzy, our cat,”answered Katie, equally as scared. Suddenly, a brown-and-white tabby cat skidded down the hardwood floors to the group of girls. “Not good,” choked out Lucy, completing the trio of fear-packed sentences. Then Izzy showed her fine, sharp claws and stepped closer and closer to Lucy, Katie, and Ruth.

To be continued…

P.S  Sorry about not posting for awhile. I had lots of other stuff to do, and I couldn’t find the time. But I did it now, so, hurray!

Peace is

A Japanese cherry garden

A cool breeze soaring on the horizon

The Northern Lights enchanting all

A stream flowing into a river

A Sunday morning

Peace is

Pure serenity

Mixed with happy feelings
