On a sunny afternoon, my friend and I were so excited. “Are you ready?!” said Mckenna. I was so confused so I asked her “For what Mckenna?” She ran to her room and brought a list. “Um what’s that? Let me guess we’re doing chores?”

She laughed and showed me the list. I was surprised! It was a YES LIST!! I asked her “May I hold it?” When I asked she nodded to me and gave me the list. I looked and saw an arrow saying pull me out. I looked and tried to pull it out but Mckenna stopped me.

“Why did you stop me, Mckenna?” I said. She looked back at me and said “Well you’re going to spoil the surprise if you pull it out.” She winked at me. I couldn’t wait for the surprise. Next, Mckenna, my mum and I went to an Ice cream shop.

We looked at each other and told mum “Mum can we order the Big Tank?” She looked at us and said “if you win then you can get anything. Like any ice cream.” Mckenna and I were so surprised.

While Mckenna and I were telling jokes to each other, mum stopped us and said “Hey! Stop being noisy!” We tried to be quiet but I kept on telling jokes. Mum turned around and squeezed me. “Ouch! I’m sorry!” Mckenna was giggling too much.

Then we were next in line. “Hello! What would you like?” Said the kind lady. “Hey! Can I order one cup of coffee and one big tank?” said mum. The lady raised her eyebrows. Mckenna and I looked at each other and jumped around. “BEST YES DAY EVER!” Then we heard a BANG.

We looked at the door and saw our other bestie. “ELENA!” We yelled except for my mum because she was busy on her phone. When me and Mckenna yelled, mum turned off her phone and said “Oi! Where do you think you girls are going!” Mum walked to us and saw us talking to Elena. “Oh Elena, you look Fabulous today! We just ordered the Big Tank.” Elena was surprised. “Will I have some?” asked Elena.

My mum nodded. We grabbed Elena’s hand and told us to sit with us. When we sat on the chairs. The Employees came with the big Tank. “Muahahaha, you girls have 30 minutes.” Said the man. “WHAT! To finish all that!” I said. The man nodded. Elena and McKenna were scared to eat that whole bowel.

The man gave Mckenna, Elena and I spoons while mum was drinking her coffee. “Let’s go girls!” Said mum with excitement. I was embarrassed the same as the other girls. “Are you ready!” The man said. We nodded our heads. Everyone started the countdown. “1… 2… 3… GO GO GO!!” Yelled the crowd. What do you think will happen next?

“Come guys keep going” I said. The girls nodded and ate as much as they could. “Br–a-inn fre-ez-e!” Said Elena. “Oh no help Elena Mum!” I said looking at mum. Mum helped her and gave her some hot chocolate. Mckenna was tired but still kept going. “Come on Mckenna! Me and you can do it!” I said. The clock was ticking. The ticking was so loud. Do you think Teuila will throw up?

I tried to keep up with Mckenna but the clock was ticking too loud inside my brain. Elena thanked my mum and started to eat with Mckenna. I dropped my spoon on the table. “TEUILA!” Yelled the girls. I got up and picked up my spoon and kept going. Mum was cheering and recording. “Let’s go girls let’s go!” The crowd joined the chant with mum! We only had 10 minutes left. “We are halfway there girls!” yelled mum.

“They only got 6 minutes left!” said mum. “COME ON!” Yelled the stranger. Mckenna and Elena were so full. I drinked the whole bowl and yelled DONE! Everyone was surprised. The girls were cheering even everyone at the store. I am so proud of myself. Then Mckenna came next to me and showed me the list. “Next up is the hot balloon festival.” Said Mckenna.
“Isn’t that at 6:00?” said Elena. “Mum, may I look at your watch? Just a look I promise!” I asked politely. Mum looked at me smiling and said “Of course!” She gave me her phone instead. Mckenna, Elena and I looked at the phone and it was 4:28. We looked at each other and tried to think of something. “Hmmm!” Said Elena. “How about we go early so that we can have more time to go on a hot balloon?” Said Elena. “Great idea!” replied Mckenna.

VROOM! VROOM! We looked behind us and saw cars going in a loop around the circle. “Wow!” I said. “Hey! We might be late!” Mckenna said while pushing me in the car. “I went to the middle seat and opened my bag to play with my slime. “Can I feel it!” Asked Elena. I nodded and gave her some. “Aww can I have some!” Asked Mckenna politely. “Fine!” I said. “Thank you Teuila!!!” Said Mckenna.

“Are we there yet mum?” I asked. “Nope, go play with your friends.” She replied. So I looked at both of them and asked “Wanna play royal rumble?” They looked at me and said “Yes!” Royal rumble! “I got rock!” I said. “I got rock too!” Said Elena. “I got um scissors…” Said Mckenna. “I’ll go first!” I said.

While mum heard us laughing, all of us heard a BUMP! That bump made us jump inside the car! “What was that mum?” I asked. “Oh let me go check I’ll be fine! You girls stay in the car alright?” Mum said. We nodded and waited “I’m scared I feel like we hit someone.” I said to the girls. The girls agreed with me and looked out the window. Mum came out of the car and was surprised. I opened the door near Elena and told her to get out so that I could see.

“Hey! Didn’t your mum say to stay in the car!” Elena whispered to me. I wanted to go to mum but Elena dragged me back to my seat. “Hey! I was checking my mum if she was in danger!” I whispered back. Mckenna didn’t care and went to sleep while me and Elena were talking about the bump. I put my hand on the handle to open the door but Elena stopped me. “Please Elena, I’m begging you!” I asked gently.

“Fine! Wait, let me come with you.” said Elena. I nodded and grabbed her hand to get out of the car. What do you think they hit? We walked to mum and closed our eyes. When Elena opened her eyes, Elena forced me to open my eyes. I opened my eyes and was shocked. I felt sad. It was a Deer! Mum told me to grab her phone to call the pet rescue. I grabbed her phone and passed it to Elena. Elena passed the phone to mum and mum started ringing their number.

Cars passed and the sun was almost going down. I felt sad because we might miss the hot balloon festival. Then we heard sounds in the car. Bang Bang THUMP THUMP. Me and Elena opened the door. “Oh it’s just Mckenna.” I said. “Haha what were you doing Mckenna?” Elena asked. Mckenna’s heart was beating so fast. Do you think Mckenna will have a heart attack?

“Why did you guys leave me! I had a nightmare!” replied Mckenna. Elena and I were giggling so much while Mckenna was making an angry face at us. She came outside for fresh air and saw a Deer. “AH! Elena! Teuila! There’s a dead Deer over here!” yelled Mckenna. Elena and I were laughing so much. “HEY! What’s funny? I don’t see anything funny!” said Mckenna.

“Me and Elena are laughing because we already know about the Deer, mum is calling the pet rescue.” I replied to Mckenna. Elena agreed with me. Mckenna thought it was something else. When we were sitting in the car, mum came and said “Girls we have to stay here for a bit because we need to talk to the pet rescue about the deer.

The Deer was moaning and calling for help while mum was watching out for the pet rescue people. I got out of the car and watched the deer. Then Elena and Mckenna came out of the car quietly to scare me. I looked at the deer and felt bad for it until I heard a BOO behind me. I jumped and got scared.

I chased Elena and Mckenna around the car and yelled “YOU GUYS ARE SO BUSTED!” Elena and Mckenna were giggling while running.
Then mum stopped us and told us “Hey! Go inside the car, the pet rescue is here. You guys are going to annoy them.” So we walked to the door and went inside. We were wondering what they were saying. “Oh no!” Said Mckenna feeling sad. “What’s wrong Mckenna?” Elena asked. “It’s 4:48 I think we won’t have much time on the hot balloons.” Replied Mckenna.

We all felt sad and had to wait for mum. Then after 2 minutes mum opened the passenger seat and was ready to drive. We all looked up and saw mum. “Mum, is the deer gone now?” I asked. “Yes we still have ten minutes.” She replied.

So mum drove as fast as she could to get there. We were so happy it was quick. So I looked at both of them and asked “Who wants to play the Royal Rumble?” I asked. The girls looked at me and raised their hands. “Teuila, get ready to start the chant!” said Mckenna. So I started saying Royal Rumble! All of us got rock.

So we did it again! Royal Rumble! “I got Rock hehe!” I said. “I got paper! YAY!!” Said Mckenna. “And I got rock. OH NO!” Elena said. Mckenna was so lucky. After that round we started to sing the chant but mum stopped us and told us to look straight. We looked straight and saw the hot balloons. Mckenna looked at the time and it was 4:56. We were so lucky.

So we got out of the car ready to go on a hot balloon. Then mum told us to choose a spot for us to sit. So I ran to the grass and looked around. Then I found a big gap. Mum was carrying the picnic stuff while the girls were carrying their bags. Mckenna carried my bag and told me to take my bag.

I got my bag and told mum “So are we allowed to go to any hot balloon?” She nodded. So I grabbed Mckenna and Elena’s hands and ran to the red, black and white one. “Can we go to this one!” I asked them. The girls looked at me and agreed with me.

When we took one step inside the hot balloon, a lady asked us if we were ready to take off. I nodded the same as the other girls. So The lady told us to be careful. “I can’t wait to stick my hands out!” Said Elena.

When we were up in the sky, Elena let go of the rail and started cheering. Mckenna and I joined her. Mum looked up and saw us cheering. Mum pulled out her phone and started to record.

When we got down, we ran to another one. “Can we go to this one please!” said Mckenna. So we agreed. As we went on the red hot balloon, it was sunset. “Wow it’s so beautiful out here.” I said.

The girls agreed. We looked at the sunset and yawned. “It’s 6:11 guys!” said Mckenna. We looked at Mckenna and couldn’t wait for the festival.

After we got down, we ran to mum and drinked some water then went on one more. “Elena it’s your turn to choose.” I said. Elena nodded and started to look for one. She looked and looked and found one she liked.

It was a purple and black hot balloon with cool designs on. “Wow!” Said Mckenna and I. “Hurry, let’s go on it before someone comes.” Said Elena. So we rushed and went on it.

When we were in the sky, each of us told a joke. “Why did the scarecrow win an award?” I asked the girls. “Why?” Said Mckenna. “Because he was outstanding in his field.” I said.

We were all laughing. Suddenly a bird was flying toward us. What do you think will happen to the girls? “AH! There’s a bird flying toward us!” Yelled Elena. The hot balloon was shaking because we were running around.

Mum was wondering why we were running around. So Mum asked the lady and said “Why is the hot balloon shaking?” asked mum. The lady looked up and said “Oh everything is fine!” said the lady. The girls were scared so they started yelling for help. When the bird was coming toward us, the bird turned left. We took a breath and tried to calm down. Then it was home time. What would you do if you were in the story?
