Winning Story


dawnwolfee Wrote:

Today was honestly not the best for Gwee the Dragon. Somehow, he’d managed to lose his best friend, Flutter, also a fellow dragon, but they came from different species of course. Gwee replayed the day’s happenings in his head over again, wondering how such a perfect day had gone wrong. Well, they’d been flying around in the forest just as they did normally. The flowers were blossoming and the trees were regaining their natural green color as Spring took away the chill of Winter. After their short fly, they’d gone to the Marketplace in search of anything new or possibly shiny. Again, something they did on a daily basis. Gwee had turned around to show Flutter something particularly eye-catching and suddenly, she was gone!

Gwee hung his head as he moved slowly through the crowd of varying dragons and other woodland creatures. Oh, how could I let this happen! Flutter could be lost, scared, and alone somewhere! How will I ever find her in this crowd!? The sound of flapping wings near him made Gwee look up. Gwee’s eyes became amazingly larger as he stared at the large Supernova Dragon in front of him. This species of dragon happened to be the largest, most beautiful, and the deadliest, not to mention that they seemed to be completely made out of crystals.

“What’s wrong?” it rumbled, seeing Gwee’s distraught expression.

Gwee sniffled before answering, “I lost my friend, Flutter. She’s just a small Radiant Dragon and I can’t find her in the crowd.”

The Supernova Dragon whacked it’s tail on the ground and turned from side to side, probably taking a small glance around to see if it could spot Flutter. “Is that your friend over there?” it asked.

Gwee strained his neck to see where the Supernova Dragon was looking at spotted Flutter amongst the crowd, looking frantically around. Gwee thanked the Supernova and quickly made his way over to Flutter. Flutter smiled, relieved that her best friend wasn’t hurt or missing.

“I turned around for one second and then you were gone!” Gwee complained as they headed off, back to home.

Flutter looked at the ground sheepishly, “I saw something shiny in that tree, and I wanted to check it out!”

Gwee sighed, "Well at least it's not Winter, or I would have been running around thinking you'd been snowed down."

Flutter grinned again. "Hooray for Spring!"

Here is the story of llamas with hats 2 1/2.(if you haven't seen llamas with hats, please follow this link.)http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=llamas+with+hats&aq=0

Llama: It sure is a nice day to be outside, laying in the spring weather.

Carl: Yeh, except for that fat kid.
Llama: What fat kid Carl?

Carl: never mind, let's just enjoy the spring weather.

Llama: No Carl, i will not enjoy it and neither will you unless i know what happened to the kid you were referring to.

Carl:Alright.

Llama: what happened to the fat kid?

Carl: so I was in my house,

Llama surprised kay,

Carl:And i was in my garage,

Llama surprised kay,

Carl: so this fat kid walked into my garage while i was making an Easter egg,

Llama: go on...

Carl: so he asked if he could take a bite of it.

Llama: Then what?

Carl: ....

Llama: Carl, what happened to this kid?

Carl: ....

Llama: Carl, are you okay? you look a little pale.

Carl: (falls over and turns out to be a paper cutout)

Llama: Carl, really?

(explosion in the distance)

(Carl lands a helicopter next to Llama and climbs out)

Carl: sorry about that, i was bombing new york with a chocolate-based nuclear bomb.

Llama: What?!?! a chocolate based nuclear bomb?!?! was that the "egg" you were making in your garage?

Carl: Yes.

End.

Spring Baby

I twas borne a baby of spring

i was supposed to be all jumpy and gay

at least that's what they'd say

but saddly i was dull and boring

but then one fateful day

The easter bunny came!

and now all's happy and gay

the egg finding was hard

all through the big yard

one in the trees

one by honey bees

And whats this a golden egg for me?!!

the chocolate prize was delicous

and i know this Easter was the bestest

The next best Easter occured when i was older

i made the baskets for the ones that were younger

i also hid the eggs to!

they were so little they almost look like you

the next spring

I heard the wedding bells ring

all dressed in white

looking down the aisle

i have spotted my prince,my groom, my.... knight!

now i've grown

with children of my own

runnin around

on a playground

trying to find the eggs

some even by their legs

in the trees

by honey bees

Easter is the funnest for me!

[P.S its a story 'bout wat i wish would happen or has hapen in my life]
