Dreams

Ally Bentley and the Dancing Sprinkler

   Ally Bentley was a normal second grader living a normal life.

   Until the fateful day of the soccer game.

   You see, Ally was a great soccer player. She loved soccer, and always wanted to play it. So when the school soccer game came about, she signed up immediately.

   The day had come. Ally was only six years old, young for a second grader, but she was one of the school's best soccer players. She was so good, she was put with the fifth graders. Ally was a bit intimidated, but she played anyway.

   After fifteen minutes, the game was over. The opposing team hadn't even scored one point. Ally's team congratulated her, walking away. When Ally looked over , however, three girls on the opposing team were watching her, angry at their defeat.

   Suddenly, as Ally watched, the girls just vanished. POOF! They were gone, into thin air. Ally couldn't make any sense of it, and began to wander the school to find the three.

   After hours of searching, however, Ally found nothing. Then, looking over at the hill bordering the edge of the school, she saw something bright under the tallest line tree on the hill. She decided to investigate, and when she went closer, the thing turned out to be a sign. It was covered in pictures of chilli peppers with evil smiley faces, which looked to be drawn by a less than talented artist.

Suddenly, Ally looked over at the mountains to her right. They were all on fire!

Ally knew what she had to do. She ran to the side of the third grade classrooms, just past the swing-set at the edge of the field. On it was a huge, obvious button with a plaque that read, in bold letters:

Press
But only if it is really an emergency
Seriously, no pranks with this button
You have been warned

Ally qualified the fiery mountains as an emergency, and slammed her finger into the rubber button.

At that very moment, all sounds in the world were shut off, replaced instead by very faint... disco music? Yes, disco music, growing louder by the second.

Then, a sprinkler appeared, slowly rising from a hole in the center of the field. A sprinkler the size of a redwood tree, with a Disney type cartoon face. It turned on, spraying water everywhere, as it danced to the beat of the song.

Within a few moments, the fire was out. Ally and the rest of the school joined the sprinkler, who they dubbed Jeffery, in the field, dancing and celebrating.

And for some reason, not a single one questioned it when a giant, winged eyeball flew overhead and dropped baseball bats all over the field.

The end.
