The Dreamers: Reflections

7-Nate the Giant

That weekend, I went on a fishing trip with some of my school bros. We found an island that had a movie theater, a fast food restaurant, and a five-star hotel on it. Nobody lived on the island, but we called it paradise.

"Guys, this is paradise, we never need to leave here again!!" I exclaimed, jumping around in circles like a fangirl that just met her idol. 

"What about school?" Aren brought up.

"Ugh. School. DUDE. ITS PARADISE. WE DUN NEED LE SCHOOL TO LIVE IN PARADISE." I retorted.

"Ok, lets not fight! I don't want to be in sixth grade, and I certainly don't want to ever go to school ever again. I'm staying here," Nick Maxwell said. Nick is Jay's little brother.

"Yeah, well I'm gonna go get soda," Nate Rivers said. A few minutes later, he came back with a ginger ale for me, a cola for Nick, and a mountain dew for Aren. He got himself a "giant-size" which looked like some kind of new soda that we never heard of. We all opened the sodas and drank up, then decided to tour the island.

We went around, and found out that it was more like an amusement park with a hotel for the workers to stay at. We even found uniforms in the hotel rooms. Every closet and dresser drawer were filled with the amusement park uniforms. Then we explored more of the area and found there to be an herb garden in the back of the hotel, and roller coasters filled the back of the park, while the middle had a ferris wheel, and to the left of the ferris wheel, a swimming pool and pool toys and floaties could be found.

By then we were all done with our sodas and ready to get more, when Nate started to grow taller and taller. "Ummm....guys....I dont think I want another giant-size.... heheh.... hey, where are you going?!" he called as Nick and Aren headed back to the boat.

"Dusty! You coming??" Aren called.

"NO!? DUDE, NATE IS MY FRIEND, I'M NOT JUST GONNA DESERT HIM! AND THIS IS PARADISE, I AM NOT LEAVING!!" I called back, then turned and looked up at Nate, who was about the size of the hotel building,"I'm gonna go find something to get you back to normal..."

"Ok..." he replied and sat down next to the pool.

I went through the movie theater to find a soda that could reverse the effect, and found nothing. Then I went to the fast-food place and found a little tiny meal called "you want mini fries with that?" so I brought it back to him. He somehow picked up the meal and ate it, then gave me the wrappers and tray. In no time at all, he was back to normal and Aren and Nick came back. I slapped them and called them cowardly traitors, and then we went home.
