2. Once upon a time there were two twins named Chase and Cassie Parker. One day Mr. and Mrs. Parker decided to take their family to Santa Cruise Beach, for a vacation. 1

3. The twins were so excited they ran to their rooms to start packing. Chase took Cassie’s swimsuit and hid it in the bathtub (silly place to hide a swimsuit). When Cassie went to pack her toothbrush, she saw her swimsuit and yelled at Chase to stop teasing her. Their parents gave them a consequence of having to sit by each other for the 50 mile drive to the beach. 2

4. I have to go to the bathroom! It was a long drive. It seemed (to Cassie) Chase had to go to the bathroom every five minutes. It drove her crazy! 3

5. They finally arrived at Santa Cruise Beach. It was a warm sandy beach. The water’s were clean with beautiful shades of baby blue and light green. There were caves that Chase was so excited to explore! There was tons of shells and driftwood. There was a beautiful shady, tall, green, palm tree. 4

6. Cassie and Chase raced to get their swimsuits on. Of course Cassie won. Cassie always won everything. Chase hated loosing, so he decided he was going to race Cassie to a cave to explore. “Cassie,” Chase yelled “I’ll beat you to that cave over there.” 5

7. “No you won’t!” Cassie replied. “On your mark, get set, GO!” called Chase. They ran as fast as they could. Chase was winning, only two more feet to go. “Cassie, I won!! I beat you for once!!!” He turned around to see Cassie’s humiliated face. But, Cassie was GONE! 6

8. If you were Chase would you: Go look for Cassie, OR Leave her to her death and go play on your gameboy? 7

9. You go looking for Cassie. You’re wondering what happened to her. Is she dead? Why did she just disappear? Is she OK? Is she playing hide-and-go-seek? This is the first time you are worried about your sister. After eating lunch, you decide to start looking again. After awhile you get hot and decide to go swimming. 8

10. After swimming for a couple of minutes, you see a shining glass ball. It looks wonderful. It seems to be pulling you towards it. You: Go for the glass ball. Or sit in the water and wait. 9

11. You go for the glass ball. Something about is wonderful. All of a sudden a whirlpool comes and sweeps you away from the water. You wake up and find yourself in a lush green land, with moss and beautiful trees. Then, you see someone riding on a horse. It is a beautiful girl, with long and golden hair.

12. “Human child,” the girl said, “there is another human child and she says her name is Cassie.” You just look up. You heard nothing that she said. She is just sooooo beautiful. “Come, I will take you .” You heard that.

13. You…… Go with the girl, OR, Go pick roses for the girl. 12

14. 13 You decide to go with the girl. Her hair is so silky. As you get to a stop, you see Cassie staring at you, and she is angry. “Why did you leave me to rot?!!! Instead of falling in love with a princess, you could’ve rescued me!!!”

15. 14 The princess could right away see something was going to happen. So she invited them to come to her home (which was a castle). “So, is she your sister?” “Yes,” replied Chase (you) glumly. After a wonderful meal, you decide to go walking in the garden.

16. 15 As you are walking, the princess says, “ You need to get back home. I have a glass ball that will take you home. Keep the glass ball that you find when you are back home. When you want to visit me, think of me and you will be here.” So you get swept up and away through time, and through anything that you have ever gone.

17. 16 After one second, you find yourself and Cassie swimming just 10 feet from shore. You quickly grab the glass ball and swim to shore. Cassie is already there because she always beats you, but you don’t care. Someday, you will go back to that land and find that girl again. Someday, someday, someday!!!!!! THE END

18. 17 You decide to go and pick roses for the girl. There are some red ones and black ones. You decide to pick both. After picking a couple of red ones, you get pricked, but you don’t fall asleep. Then, you pick a couple of black ones. But their petals burn, and you get pricked by one black thorn and fall down. The world goes dark.

19. 18 You wake up in a bed. The red roses are right by your bed. The black ones are gone. The princess sits right next to you looking worried. “Were thou trying to impress me? “ “Why, I was just trying to give you flowers.” “ Well, thou art brave to do such a thing. I see now you had no evil intent upon thy doing, but since you got pricked by the black rose, you must work for the evil witch now.”

20. 19 You are so devastated. You wanted to stay here forever. But, the witch had other plans for you. Instead of making you her servant, she decided that she would kill you. Since you got pricked by the red ones first, you wouldn’t die. Normally the black roses wouldn’t kill you, but your will not to work for the witch was really strong, so they would kill you. The witch couldn’t afford having stubborn workers.

21. 20 After a couple of minutes, the world starts going blurry. You think that you should never have come to the beach. You think that you never should have raced with Cassie. Now she’ll be here forever. Your last words are, “Take care of Cassie.” And you fall into a deep sleep. The red roses prevented you from dying. But now, you’ll never see the light of day again. THE END
