Lilly woke up to the sound of a scream. It was her own scream, she had a nightmare about Legos. She was trapped and couldn't get out! Lilly was trying to save her brother in the dream, but Lucas was the one who ended up saving her by building a Lego robot to protect her from the bad Legos. Lilly thought it was a bad dream, a very bad one, it had made her scared. Lilly went out of her tent and went into Lucas's tent, but he wasn't there. Lilly felt the pit of her stomach drop. She ran outside. It was just about dawn. Her parents should have been up by now.
Lilly ran to her parent's tent and went inside. They weren't in there either. Where had everyone gone? There wasn't a note, not even a letter. Lilly was scared now, her breathing became hard, and that's when she noticed it, on the ground were two Lego figurines. Lilly hesitated, she was scared of Legos, but she had to know what happened to her family. So, Lilly picked up the Lego characters and looked closer. Chills went down Lillys spine. The Lego figurines looked exactly like her parents!!! She dropped the Legos and ran outside. Lilly was praying hard, hopping that Lucas was playing a stupid prank. But now Lilly noticed other strange things happening around her.... the trees looked different, the tents, the empty campsite. Something was very wrong. Lilly ran through the woods shouting for her family. "LUCAS! LUCAS! MOM! DAD! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?" Lilly stumbled, falling hard onto the ground. Where her hands had hit, something caught her eyes. The dirt beneath her hands revealed a hard yellow surface. What? Lilly dug all around her, the ground was-No NO NO NO! Lilly got up and went to a nearby tree. She punched at the tree and kept punching until the bark came undone... The tree was a Lego tree. Beneath the real bark was a solid Lego brick tree! Everything around her was a Lego! Lilly knew what to do next to see if she was dreaming or not. Lilly reached down and picked up a stick, Lilly took a deep breath. "It's now or never." Lilly took the stick and stabbed her hand. Just as Lilly feared- beneath her skin revealed a Lego figurine hand. Suddenly Lilly WAS a Lego!! Suddenly, looming over her was her brother's giant face. "Hi Lilly! See, I told you my wish would come true!" His booming voice reached her little Lego ears. "Lucas what's happening? Why am I a Lego?" Lilly looked back at where the campsite was and saw her parents in Lego form watching some sort of Lego dog run around. The campsite had also been transformed into a giant Lego set. Lucas went on, "Well before we went camping, I felt terrible, I wanted you not to hate Legos. Remember when we used to play Legos together? The only reason why I've been so obsessed with Legos, is because I've been hoping that one day you would love Legos again and that we could play together like we used too. I saw a website about a woman who could make wishes come true, and that she lived in the woods in Washington somewhere near our house. So that's why I went inside the shack and I made my wish!" But how? Lilly was confused. "Lucas but why this? How is this possible? What did you wish for?" Lilly looked up at her brother waiting for an answer. "Well, I wished that.." He paused and smiled at Lilly. "I wished that I could play with you and mom and dad forever! And that you guys would love to play Legos and that you would feel what it felt like to be into Legos just like me!" Lilly felt her bones shake, only they were no longer bones.. only Legos. Lucas wanted to play with his family forever, and it looks like his wish just came true. And it was Lilly's worst nightmare. The End.... Or was it?
