The Five Spirits

Chapter 9

As soon as they reached the park, the 5 Spirits flung off of their backpacks and ran to something on the playground. After messing around for a bit, everyone joined Shortstacks on the spinning thing.

This attraction was something that spins very easily and has a good speed. Ryan spun Shortstacks around.

"Weeeeee!" Shortstacks yelped with delight.

After a bit, the spinning thing slowed down, and Shortstacks got off tumbling, very dizzy. He stumbled for a bit, and then fell down. His friends rushed by his side to help him up. When he was back to his senses again, he said, "Wow! That was fun."

"Me next!" Karisa quickly exclaimed, rushing to the spinning thing before anyone else could. Shortstacks spun her this time, and when she got off, she was stumbling, but less dizzy. After walking weirdly for five seconds, she came to her senses.

Everyone else went on the spinning thing, with Sasha with the most time to recover. After coming to her senses, Karisa made a theory. "Your brain is going bad."

Then they went to Burke Mart, a little shop under a slide.

"Welcome to Burke Mart," Ryan announced.

"No, its Walmart!" Sasha exclaimed.

"Its Burke Mart, Sasha!" Ryan argued, pointing at the sign, which indeed said, Burke Mart.

"Its Walmart, because its on a wall!" Sasha said.

"Anyway," Ryan continued. "Welcome to Walmart. We have a rock, a leaf, and an i-Phone." He slapped the items onto the counter.

"I WANT TEH LEAF," Alexyss announced, grabbing the leaf.

"I want a job here!" Shortstacks yelled, climbing through the tiny window in the counter.

"Me too!" Sasha nodded, and climbed through the window as well. Soon they were all climbing in.

They settled in, and a few people took out their phones. Ryan put on "Alone Together" again. "Say yeah," he sang. "Let's be alone together! We can stay young forever! Scream it from the top of your lungs, lungs, lungs..."

At the same time, Alexyss put on a song from Panic! At the Disco. "I chime in with a 'People haven't you ever heard of, closing the *** damn door!'"

Karisa was scanning through social media and photos of Makena at the same time. Shortstacks was looking at pancake recipes, and Sasha looked at the playground from the telescope at the top of Burke Mart.

Eventually, Sasha got a bit bored, and leaned down next to Karisa. "Hello, princess," Sasha said to Karisa. "How are you-"

But before she could finish, Karisa suddenly jumped up, ran up to the top with Sasha, and exclaimed, "I'm a princess! I'm a princess! Everyone, I'm a princess!" Karisa was very pleased with who she was and proud of her bloodline.

Sasha looked through the telescope again, and it set into an area of ropes and difficult to reach places. Sasha stood up with a smile. "I'm going to test out my parkour skills!"

So they did parkour, with Sasha not doing too good (she's not too flexible), and then Shortstacks wanted to go splash around with water, so they headed there and took off their shoes and socks.

Ryan was waiting for the bucket to fill up. There is a bucket that fills up with water for a while, and afterwards, spills all out, which is something perfect for getting really soaked. He splashed around some things while he was waiting, and when he went back, the bucket dumped when Ryan was just an inch away from being under it.

He kneeled to the ground slowly. "Noooo," he said. Shortstacks, who was nearby, and Alexyss, who didn't go out and was on her phone still, was laughing loudly.

Meanwhile, Sasha was crawling through a tight space under the sprinklers. When she finished and got up, it was now Karisa's turn. She didn't crawl at all, but skip through the sprinklers, water at her feet.

It was plenty of fun, but then Sasha's mother's red Sentra pulled up at the parking lot, and Sasha had to go.

"Aww," everyone said.

"Bye guys," Sasha said sadly. "See you tomorrow!" She walked to the car.

"Bye Sasha!" everyone waved.
