#DRAMA

Chapter 13

Yyaaawwwnnn.  I stretch my whole body and man,  does it feel nice.  It's dark outside,  what time is it?  I glance at my alarm clock 12:00 pm?  What the heck! Go back to sleep!  Ugh.  I'm so hungry,  I need a snack.  Aha!  A good snack should send me back to dreamland. Bennet is sleeping sweetly like an angel on the pillow next to my head. I sneak out of bed without Bennet noticing and creep downstairs. I walk into the kitchen.  Ah!  The floor is so cold! I need socks or something. I walk to laundry room and grab some fuzzy socks.  I head back to the kitchen.  Ahh.  Much better. I grab some pretzels and sneak back up into bed again.  Bennet wakes up and curls down on my chest.  I pull the covers on top of him as I snack on some pretzels. My eyes grow heavy and my vision fades. Pretzels.  Your train back to dreamland. I'll remember that.

BEEP BEEP

I slam my hand against the off button on my alarm clock. Bennet is already downstairs. I climb out of bed. Downstairs I hear the lion King playing. It's bradlys favorite movie. Like ever. That's strange, its 9:00, why is he still home? I had no school today, but bradly did. I head downstairs to the living room. Bradlys sitting on the couch watching his movie eating cereal. "Sup twerp"  I say.  "Don't call bradly a twerp, chealsey !" I hear mom yell from the kitchen. I roll my eyes. Bradly grabs the remote and pauses the movie and looks up at me. "sup Frankenstein" He smirks.  "Bradly!" mom yells.  He chuckles. "why are you home?"  I say.  He shrugs.  He is so informing. I walk to the kitchen. "hey, monkeybutt" my dad smiles at me. Mom rolls her eyes. I chuckle. "yo wrinkles" we call each other mean names and mom hates it. Dad smiles. I grab a cup and pour milk into it.  "why is Bradly home?" I ask, sipping down my milk.  Mom shrugs. I finish my milk and put the cup in the sink. "I got both you and Bradly gifts from my trip to the store.  It's in your room" dad says to me. I brighten up.  "really?"  I ask.  He nods. I race up to my room and see a gift box on my dresser. How did I miss that this morning? I grab it and sit on my bed. I carefully lift off the top of the box and see a rubber monkey with big eyes inside. I know exactly what this is!  I pull it out and squeeze it.  Its eyes pop out. It's so cute! I think to myself. There's a note on the bottom of the box that reads for you, my monkey butt aha. Dad and his sense of humor. This monkey is not going out of my sight. I had one when I was little, and the eyes popped out of the socket. I called it sox. S-o-x.  This monkeys name will be pretzels, since they helped me catch my train to dreamland last night. I am taking way better care of pretzels. I ran downstairs and hugged dad. Bradly hugged dad too with a Dino in his hand. Dad looked at us "these are your babies. You must feed them, have them use the potty, and change them. Goodluck kiddos." dad said to us. I love when dad has us do these Little things. I smiled. Bradly smiled too. "bath time,  pretzels" I say as I bring the monkey up to my bathroom. I ran warm water into the sink and placed pretzels in the sink.  I washed her with soap and dried her with a towel. There was a knock at the door and I heard Bradlys voice. "Chealsey, are you done yet?  Dino got muddy and he needs a bath." I pour out of the bathroom and head to my room. How cute are you. I think to myself. She stares at me with those big eyes. I run to the bathroom and steal a headband from my drawer. I wrap it twice around pretzels head. "there!" I say. I grab a basket and throw a fluffy towel in there. I set her inside. "nappy time" I say. I put another towel on top of her and walk away. I shut my door gently. Ok, now, time to head out.
