"Summer, Summer wake up you need to go to school" Summers mom said, "Do I have to go to school?" Summer asked tired, "Yes, we do this every morning, and besides it's the last day before summer break. So get up and get dressed", Summer was stubborn but she loved her family and friends but she loved animals a lot. Summer uncover herself and got up. Summer didn't really wanna go to school but she got dressed anyways. "Hey, girl" Alex said coming up the stars, "Thank god today is the last day until summer break" Summer said, "I know and then we can hang out all summer, well if your mom allows us to" Alex said, "She probably will" Summer noted, "True, because your mom is really chill" Alex noted. "Hey, can you come over and stay the night?" Alex asked, "Yea, but I have to take my puppy outside when I get home, so I can't go straight to your house" Summer said, "that's fine" Alex said. Then the bell rings for the next class. "only a few more periods left and then it's summer" Summer said. Then Summer and Alex walked to their classes. After school Summer went home and went to her room to put her school stuff away and get things ready for the sleepover. Summer then took her puppy outside and walked over to Alex's house. It was kinda dark outside but Summer was happy because it feel like she has not had a sleepover with her bestie in forever. Summer was almost there until a weird house caught the corner of her eye and she looked over and started to slow down. The house looked really old, like it was gonna fall apart, she was about to walk away but she heard growling and wanted to see what's inside. As she almost stepped onto the front porch her bestie called her "Hey, where are you at?" Alex said, "Sorry, got distracted, I'm on my way now" Summer said and hung up the phone. Summer took one more look at the house and walked away. Summer finally reached Alex's house and knocked on the door. "Finally your here, come in" Alex said, "Sorry" Summer said. Then they both when up to Alex's room. "What took you so long to get here?" Alex asked, "Sorry, I got distracted by this house" Summer said, "That's weird, why did it make you stop?" Alex asked, "well I saw it in the corner of my eye, but when I looked over something about it made me stop, when you called me I was about to step on the front porch" Summer said, "Do you wanna go check it out tomorrow and maybe see what's inside?" Alex asked, "Sure, why not" Summer said. Summer and Alex when to bed. Summer woke up before Alex and made some breakfast. "Why are you up so early?" Alex asked Summer, "I woke and I couldn't fall back to sleep so I just thought that I would make breakfast. I'm surprised I didn't burn the house down yet." Summer replied. Alex started to laugh. Summer and Alex ate breakfast. "Are you ready?" Alex asked. Summer looked up in confusion, "Ready for what?" Summer asked, "We said that we would go check out that house you saw yesterday, Do you still remember where it is?" Alex asked, "Oh, yea I still remember where it is" Summer said, "Then let's go" Alex said. Summer and Alex got into Alex's car and drove to the house. Summer was confused because the house was not there anymore. "uh, bestie, this is where a house used to be, Are you sure you remember where it was?" Alex Asked, "It was here last night I know it" Summer said, "Well people can't just destroy a house in a night" Alex said, "It was there, I swear!" Summer exclaimed, "It's fine, good thing we made other plans" Alex said, "Yea" Summer said with confusion. Summer and Alex spent the whole day together. "Well see you tomorrow cause I only brought enough clothes for one night and I don't want to walk to my house and just get clothes and come back because that's too much walking" Summer said, " I understand and I would do the same" Alex said. Summer started to walk home but she passed by the house again. This time she decided to take a picture of the house so she has proof to show her bestie. The next morning she went over to his house. "I have a picture of the house, look" Summer show's Alex the picture. "Now you're just lying" Alex said and shuts the door in Summer's face. Summer was confused and looked at the picture but there was nothing there, just the same spot they went to yesterday. Summer was gonna find out why you could not see this house in the day time. That night she went on her computer and searched up Is there any houses that only show up at night?, and she hit searched and a house popped up Red Town 6392 Sky street. Summer froze and then her mom Chole walked in and she jumped. "Wow, sorry honey, didn't mean to scare you, What are you doing?" Chole said, "Well the last two night there has been this house that got my attention, and there was something about it that was kinda pulling me in, but when me and my bestie went to go see I and when we got there nothing was there, nothing but last night I took a picture of it and showed my bestie but there was nothing their either. I looked up if there was a house that only showed up at night and it showed the same address as the house that I saw." Summer said, "well, are you sure you saw it?" Chole said, "Yes I'm sure" Summer said. Summer and Chole were thinking. "wait, I still have the picture" Summer said. Summer pulled out her phone and went to the picture. "No, way" Summer said, "What?" Chole said. Summer show the picture to her mom. "I'm gonna send this to my bestie" Summer says, "But what if she doesn't see it, even though it's dark outside?" Chole said, "it's worth a try" Summer said. Summer sent the picture to her bestie. ten minutes later her bestie was knocking at the door. "Bestie, It's 12 o'clock" Summer said really tired, " I know I just wanted to apologize for thinking you were a liar" Alex said, "What do you mean?" Summer said, "The house it's real" Alex said, "Wait, you can see the picture" Summer asked, "Yes, we should go to it tomorrow" Alex said, "Bestie, when you wake up look at the picture again" Summer said, "Okay but can I stay the night here because I don't feel like walking all the way back to my house." Alex said confused, "Yes, come on" Summer said. In the morning Summer walked into the kitchen "It's gone, Summer the house, it's gone" Alex said in shocked, "I know Alex" Summer said, "why, Didn't you just tell me?" Alex asked, "Because you wouldn't of believed me if I told you" Summer said, "But-" Alex was saying before Summer cut him off. "If I told you the you would think I was telling you another lie" Summer said, "I'm sorry I'm shocked that there is a house like that" Alex said, "It's okay, I was shocked too" Summer said, "so are you gonna go to it tonight?" Alex asked, "well, I was gonna go alone tonight because when I was almost on the front porch, I heard growling and I kinda work with animals" Summer said, "Yeah, your right, sorry" Alex said, "it's okay maybe next time you can come with me" Summer said. Later that night Summer went to the house with different types of food, meat ,chicken, cat food, dog food and more. Summer was a little scared to get up on the front porch cause she heard the growling and she knocked on the door but then the door was open and she walked in. She saw a little animals that ran in the darkness but she could not tell what it was. "It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you, come on out" Summer said in a soft voice. Then she saw a baby tiger come out. "A tiger?" Summer said in shock, "How could you make that growling sound if youre so small?" Summer asked the tiger. Summer then felt like something was over top of her, she turned around and saw a mama tiger staring at her blocking the door. "You must be the mama, don't worry I'm not here to hurt you" Summer said and brought out some meat. One of the baby tigers came out of the corner and rubs up on Summer but she didn't know what to do so she looked at the mother and asked "May I pet your baby?", The tiger looked at Summer but Summer slowly went towards the baby tiger and petted it. The mama got close to Summer but smelled the meat in Summer's hand and she reached her hand out with the meat. "Go ahead, take it, it's okay" Summer said. The tiger took the meat out of Summer's hands and got a little closer to her again. Summer reached her hand out like she was gonna pet it but it started to growl a little but Summer would not put her hand down. "May I pet you?" Summer asked. The tiger looked at Summer and then she put out her hand but was a little scared that the tiger would bite it off. Instead of biting it off the mama tiger put her head against Summer's hand and Summer knew that meant that the mama tiger could trust her. Summer Kept coming to the house and one day she thought she would bring her bestie. "Before we go in, Do not move quick, Okay?" Summer said, "Okay", Alex said, "You have to listen to what I say because if you don't I don't know what will happen" Summer said, "Okay, got it" Alex said. Summer and Alex walked in. "Hey, I'm back and I wanted you guys to meet my bestie," Summer said. The mama tiger pushed Summer towards her babies and got in front of them then growled at Alex. "It's okay" Summer said and got in front of the tiger, "He won't hurt me, He's my bestie" Summer said. The mama tiger looked at Summer and stopped growling. Alex was shocked because Summer only hung out with the tigers for a few days and the mama tiger already trusts her but Alex knew that his bestie was good at gaining animals trusts. The next day Summer went back to the house and while she was hanging out with the tigers the same baby tiger that went up to her and rubbed her. The tiger looked at Summer then the baby and then pick the baby up and gave it to Summer. "Wait, I can't have your baby, hes yours," Summer said. The mama tiger would not take the cub back. "Are you sure you want me to take him?" Summer asked, The tiger nodded her head. "I will take good care of him, don't worry" Summer said and rubbed up on Summer, "Now we need a name for him......How about Scott?" Summer said, The tiger looked at her like she was crazy, "yea, You're right, how about......Spots?" Summer said, The tiger looked at her like she had heard her favorite word. "I guess Spot it is but if were gonna name your cub, you also need a name, How about Stripes?" Summer said, The tiger had a look on her face and Summer knew that was a look of happiness. "I guess Stripes it is". Summer went home to take care of the cub and could not wait to see Stripes the next night. Later that night "Are you ready to go see your mother?" Summer asked Spots. Summer went to the house but the house was not there. "Where did the house go?" Summer asked herself.
