Gralamanessz: A Life Story

Hey :D

This is another story I wrote with my friend Shy (the same one who I cowrote/am cowriting Run, Turtle, Run! with) last year. I just found the notebook we had this written in and all the memories came flooding back, so I figured, Why not post it on here? So I hope y'all like it :)

There once was a kangaroo named Samantha, who had a pet salamander. That salamander fell in love with a cat. But unfortunately, the cat fell into a blender.

It all started when Samantha was out in the desert looking for a snack. She was very hungry, but she couldn't find anything to eat. Samantha was a very picky kangaroo - she only ate waffles and cheesy sausages.

She was hopping around, when she found a llama waffle. She caught it right away, because it couldn't escape. Because llama waffles don't fly. So she ate the llama waffle.

Then she saw a cheesy sausage. Only it wasn't a cheesy sausage. It was a salamander egg. So she decided to pick it up and put it in her pouch.

Then, she felt the egg wobble and crack. A salamander poked out! "I shall name you Gralamanessz the Salamander!" she declared.

She took Gralamanessz the Salamander to her house. Her house was next door to Frankie the Unicorn's house. "Frankie! Look at my pet salamander!" she called. Then Becca the Duck walked down the road, carrying Charlie the Box. "Look everyone, look at my new pet, Gralamanessz!" she exclaimed.

Becca stared at Samantha. "What pet?" she asked. Samantha looked down into her hands. Gralamanessz wasn't there!

Gralamanessz had wandered away, and an eagle named Jeffrey picked him up. The eagle dropped him on the roof of an ice cream shop.

"Oh no!" Frankie cried. "We have to go save him!" Frankie, Becca, and Samantha started to run down the street, but they were stopped by a cat.

The cat's name was Priscilla. She was French. She said, "Bonjour. Where are you all running to? Surely it cannot be zis important."

"My salamander is up on the roof of the ice cream shop! Of course it's important!" Samantha tried to run, but Priscilla stopped her.

"It'll be okay. Zis happened to mwa once before," she explained. Samantha rushed by her, concerned about Gralamanessz. Priscilla stuck out her tail and tripped Samantha.

"Why must you stop me from being with the ones I love?" she screamed.

"Zis is now mwa's problem, too. Why would you not invite mwa on this adventure?" she asked in her pretty little French cat accent. Samantha stopped, trying to think of a reason.

"Come on Samantha," Becca said. "She's much more agile than any of us. She could climb up the ice cream shop and have Gralamanessz down in no time!"

"Zis is true," Priscilla agreed.

Samantha sighed. "Here, take this taco for good luck." Priscilla gave her a strange look, but accepted the taco and scurried up the building without a word. "Geez, it's like she didn't know that salamanders are attracted to tacos," Samantha said.

"They aren't," Frankie said. "At least not your tacos. Those things are gross."

Becca laughed hysterically. "Maybe I should fly up there and help," she suggested.

Just then, a bottle of chocolate syrup flew by oinking. "Would you like fries with that?!" it exclaimed, then oinked again and flew away.

"That was weird..." Becca said.

"Maybe you shouldn't go up there," Charlie said. "You might get hit with flying chocolate sauce." Frankie nodded. Then a tomato hit him in the face.
