The gloomy dimly lit classroom was filled with the sounds of the boring documentary that Mr. Robbison played. Everyone was so ready for his class to end but also happy it was Friday. All of a sudden the bell rang and we packed our things.

"See you all Monday!" Mr. Robbison yelled as we left his class. I was one of the first to walk out and I waited for my friends as people walked past. After I stood on the wall scrolling on my phone for a few minutes, I looked up to see my three friends, Daisy, Lexi, and Ivy. I shoved my phone in my pocket and started walking with my friends through the now crowded hallways. We finally made it out the door and walked to our favorite store "Loretta's Candy Store".

We walk into the store and we see Loretta behind the register in a light blue dress that had dark blue and white hearts on it, a matching headscarf, and blue lip and nose piercings. She was ringing up this old man in a red sweater and beige pants. "Hi, Loretta!" we say in unison. She looks at us and smiles. "Hey everybody" she responded and went back to her customer.
We went our separate ways and as I was making my way to the chocolate aisle, I saw the security camera. I pull out my phone and I start taking pictures of myself with the camera. My friends got the stuff they wanted, set it on the counter, and started taking pictures with me. We did all kinds of silly poses and looked at the pictures afterward. We were laughing so hard. "Okay c'mon we have to pay for all this," Daisy says.

"Wait, I need to get some things and I'll be ready, "I say, almost forgetting about the snacks I wanted. I rushed down the aisle and got three boxes of whoppers, five kitkats, a juice, and a bag of chips. Loretta rings us up, we pay for everything and leave.

As we're walking down the street Ivy says "soo, whose house are we going to." we all look at her with a confused expression. "Ivy, we're going to YOUR house. This week is your week to host the sleepover." I say in an amused tone. "Ohh.." Ivy responds. We moved on from what happened and a few minutes later we arrived at Ivy's house.

Ivy lived in this big brown house. The lawn was perfectly trimmed, the garden was healthy, and her home was decorated beautifully. Ivy unlocked the door and we were greeted by her cat, Shadowz. She pets the cat as we walk into the house and we go upstairs into Ivy's room. Ivy has an obsession with the color blue so she decorated her whole room in blue.

Her room was filled with all kinds of things in it like a desk with two monitors, a drawing pad, stuffed animals from every birthday, stickers on the wall, and a dark blue rug. We sit on the rug and begin eating our snacks.

We laugh and talk about any and everything for hours and hours until we fall asleep. Then all of a sudden, we are awoken by someone singing in an ancient language. Curiously, we looked around the room for the person singing. After searching the room, a pretty fluorescent light slowly floated around the room. I catch it in my hand and slowly opened my hand at it. To my surprise, the light was a pixie.

She had on a red velvet dress and her wavy blond locks were incredibly silky. We were shaken to our very core. We couldn't move, speak or think. We just sat there on the rug staring at the woman.

She coughs to relieve the tension in the air, then she says "Hello, everyone. I guess I should start by introducing myself. I'm Aurora, goddess of Saeppeagana. I need your help. My world is in danger. There is a war currently going on and my people are hiding since we have no one helping us. Our brave soldiers, fathers, and sons were killed." She paused as tears began to fill her eyes. She felt like it was her fault that all those people died. She wished things wouldn't have come to a full-fledged war but it was too late. As those salty tears blur her vision, she quickly blinks them away.

She wipes the tear that fell on her rosy cheeks and started talking again. "A woman named Ethel caused this war and attempted to end it by poisoning me and foolishly ended up poisoning herself. This all started because of her hatred for everything and everyone in Saeppeagana.
