i, my name is Flower and I live in North Carolina. My parents always send me upstairs after dinner. I always hear them yelling at each other and that’s why I knew something was wrong. But today was my birthday and I forgot all about it. I didn’t invite a lot of people to my party I only invited my best friend, Sally. We went to a fancy restaurant by Litchfield Park. Sally loved pizza and so did I, so we ordered a large size pizza for five bucks at the fancy restaurant. My mom said the fancy restaurant’s name was Pizza Palace. After we were done eating, I opened my birthday presents. There were only three but that was okay with me. My mom bought me a Bratz doll. My dad bought me a little jeep car and Sally bought me a diary that only opened to my voice. When it was time to go home I asked if Sally could come over to spend the night. My parents said she could. Right when we got home I grabbed Sally’s hand and rushed up stairs and asked her what she wanted to play. Sally said that I should chose because I was the birthday girl and all of a sudden I remembered that my parents always sent me up stairs. Then when I went down stairs and I saw them yelling and heard them say they were getting a divorce. I ran up stairs as fast as I could. I heard footsteps coming up after me. I almost tumbled back down the stairs but I caught the rail and kept on running. My heart was beating so loudly when I got to my room. My mom came in and told me they were getting a divorce and she went back down the stairs with anger in her eyes. Sally looked at me and said, I still never picked out what we were going to play. I looked over at Sally and said, “we are going to play, get my parents back together. Sally said she never heard of that game. I told her it really wasn’t a real game. Sally said. “why did you say it was a game? I just looked out and looked at that girl. Come on lets go but then I hear the garage open. I went over to my blinds and looked out and saw my mom leaving and then I had a pla! n. I wh ispered it into Sally’s ear. Sally and I put our hands together and said, “moohahaha. In the morning I called my dad and asked if we could go back to Pizza Palace. My dad said we could. Then I whispered to myself and said, “my plan is going perfect so far. Then I called mom on the phone and I told her that dad was going to drop me of at Pizza palace and I would like it if she would be there. My mom said, “Sure honey, I’ll be there. When we got to Pizza Palace my mom was already there. I told Sally that my mom wasn’t already supposed to be here but I got Sally to run ahead and block my mom so she could not see me with my dad. But some how my mom managed to get Sally out of the way and then mom saw my dad. When we all got seated I asked why did they get a divorce my mom sighed and said that they got a divorce because she wanted to spend more time with me I looked and looked at my mom then I said you can spend as much time as you want with me. Then Sally said since your parent’s are back together what game are we going to play when we get home. Then I turned around and didn’t even look at Sally. When we got home we played with my Bratz doll and after that we drove in my little toy jeep after that I told Sally that I was really glad that my parents are back together.



The End
