Pinkie Pie's Birthday
Libby, Is The Moon Made Of Cheese?
I.B.F.Fs: Lost In The Rain
One fine Summer’s day, Zura, Fang, Luna and I went for a walk in the meadow with our parents. It was a warm day and it looked like a perfect day for sleeping. Not for us, we were up and walking. There were butterflies and bees in the meadow and white fluffy clouds in the sky. “The meadow looks so beautiful, and it’s such a lovely day outside, can we go off and play?” I asked. “Alright then, run along, kids.” said my mum. We ran off into the meadow and had the time of our lives. We threw petals up into the air and watched them float gently down again. We lay in the sun and watched the clouds pass by. We rolled about in the grass. We made each other flower crowns and played we are kings and queens of nature. The day was made even more splendid with a session of play like this.
When the sun came down, we lay down in the warm sun and watched as the sky turned a tangy orange. “Isn’t the day beautiful?” I asked. “Sure thing, we had a lovely time,” said Zura. “What makes the sky orange when the sun sets?” “Perhaps it’s the shadow of the lovely times we had together,” said Luna. “Or maybe it signals the werewolves come out to play.” Fang laughed. “There are no other werewolves around except you,” I giggled. Suddenly, clouds filled the sky, and the sound of rumbling thunder filled the air. “Oh oh,” I said, “I think it’s beginning to rain. We need to get back to our parents as quick as possible.” We raced together back to the path where our parents were waiting for us. However, when we got there, we realised they were gone! “Mum!” I cried. “Dad!” cried Zura. “Mum! Dad!” cried Luna and Fang together. We tried calling for them frantically, but there was no response. In fact, our calls were muffled by the sound of crashing thunder.
Before we knew it, it began to rain heavily. “Well, I suppose we’ll have to walk back,” I said. “It’ll take more than neglectful parents to send us crying for help.” “I think you’re right,” said Fang, “I think I’m missing my parents already. I don’t want to even talk about the time I brought them to Monster Avenue because of my wolf instincts.” “It doesn’t matter. We have no coats, no wellington boots and only a matter of survival. Come on, let’s go.” We tried to take the path back, but it lead to a different path which led into the forest we passed by. There were no paths, meaning the forest was made darker by the rain and we have completely lost our way. Terrified and alone, we just stood there in the shelter of the trees, waiting for every scary thunder crack and every single raindrip to patter down on ourselves. To make matters worse, we started sneezing and experiencing common cold symptoms, and we were feeling very ill indeed.
“I can’t bare it,” I wailed, “Please, someone, get us home before we die of altitude sickness!” “There’s no one to take us home.” sniffed Zura. “Our parents are total morons!” said Luna, “Now I really am going to have something to say to the doctor!” Fang had even more shocking thoughts on his mind. “What if they don’t notice us? What if we get taken into care?” “We won’t!” I said, “Nothing can hurt us or take us away-” “From your parents?” said a voice. A voice that sounded vaguely familiar. It was Huntstrike and Shystalk, the two lions we just met on our camping trip! “Thank god, we’re lost! We can’t seem to find our way home!” I sniffed. “Allow us to find a solution for you.” said wise Huntstrike, “Once, we found a place which can help you find your way home. Near the tallest tree in the forest, a shaft of sunlight which only appears on a rainy day like this one can guide you back home.” “Thanks, Huntstrike,” sniffed Luna, “Now we’ll never have to worry about being taken into care again.” Huntstrike backed away into the forest, disappearing into the darkness until her eyes were shown…and then, they closed. Shystalk just ran away. With that said, we tried and tried and tried to find the shaft of sunlight and the tallest tree…but matters were made worst. There was no hill to climb to get a better view of the tallest tree. We were lost. Lost forever…?
Meanwhile, Joan was on the phone to Shamalama, my teacher. “Alright. Alright, I will.” She put the phone down and began to cry. “We’ve been such fools to leave our children behind. I don’t think about what’ll become of Fang!” “There now, darling, it’s okay. Fang will come back to us.” said Frank, handing his wife a handkerchief. “My daughter is nowhere to be found either.” said Palm. “There’s only one thing for it,” said my mum, “We just have to wait.” “WAIT?!” cried all the monster parents together. “How can we wait when tomorrow feels like an eternity?” asked Serafina. “I’m not sure. We’ll have to wait and see.”
Meanwhile in the forest, we were sitting beside a tree with nothing else to do, and our cold symptoms getting worse. I started crying. So did Zura. Fang and Luna weren’t crying, they just felt depressed. “I want to go home!” I whined. “Me too,” said Zura. “Say the same thing to us,” said Fang, “We feel really poorly.” “Yeah, I might’ve said a kid-my-age phrase at a time like this, but what we need right now is a cosy bed, a glass of fresh milk and something good to eat.” “We haven’t eaten this much since we got lost,” said Luna. “If we could’ve found some berries, that’ll be easier.” “But some are very poisonous and could kill us.” I said, wiping my tears away. “Hey! Look.” Fang pointed to what we’re standing next to. We got up and looked. Sure enough, we were sitting around the tallest tree in the forest! We were crying “Yes!” and “Wow!” through coughs and sneezes. “Look!” I shouted, and I pointed up to the grey sky. Amongst the rain, a shaft of light came shining through right down onto us, and lengthened so it made a path across the forest - all the way home. “Come on, guys, let’s go home!” I cried with a cough and a wheeze. Fang picked me up and gave me a ride on his shoulders as we followed the path of the light all the way home.
“They could be anywhere by now,” said Darone, looking out the window. “I’m sure they’re in safe hands, Darone,” said Frank, “You know, I was reminded when-” His speech was interrupted by a huge shaft of light shining through the window. Eventually Mum was brave enough to look out the window and saw four figures approaching the house. They looked familiar to them. “Sophie!” cried Mum in distraught tears, “Quick, everyone to the front door!” All our parents ran to the door just as we knocked on it. We were more than delighted to see our distraught parents taking us in our arms, crowing at us over how delighted they are to finally see them again…just as the light faded away. “How did you get back home?” asked Palm, “And why are you so ill?” “It was from the rain,” said Zura, “But luckily the sunlight guided us back home.” “You are all struck with grief. We’d better get you straight to bed immediately.” Yes, thought Fang and Luna inside their heads as they thought of how they’d miss school for a few days.
Once we were dressed in our pyjamas and tucked up in our cosy bed, we were each given a cool glass of milk and a piece of chocolate cake. Scruff was more than happy to see us, and backed away comically whenever we sneezed. “It’s good to be home,” I said, sighing. “Yeah, you said it,” said Luna, “I think I won’t have to worry about dissection class anymore.” “Don’t say that, you’re making me go off my milk and cake!” said Zura. “I think it’s best if we don’t talk about school and just enjoy this praise and attention,” I said, and we all laughed.
With that said, we snuggled down to sleep with our crumb-covered plates and our empty milk glasses on our bedside table, with the moon high above us shining through the window like the sun shining on us, making a path that’ll take us back home.
THE END.

Meanwhile, Mrs Watson was on the phone to Calypso, my teacher. “Alright. Alright, I will.” She put the phone down and began to cry. “We’ve been such fools to leave our children behind. I don’t think about what’ll become of Luke!” “There now, darling, it’s okay. Luke will come back to us.” said Mr Watson, handing his wife a handkerchief. “My princess is nowhere to be found either.” said Niles. “By the way, I’m glad to say it when she isn’t around.” “There’s only one thing for it,” said my mum, “We just have to wait.” “WAIT?!” cried all the monster parents together. “How can we wait when tomorrow feels like an eternity?” asked Bella Negative. “I’m not sure. We’ll have to wait and see.”

Eventually Mum was brave enough to look out the window and saw four figures approaching the house. They looked familiar to them. “Sybil!” cried Mum in distraught tears, “Quick, everyone to the front door!” All our parents ran to the door just as we knocked on it. We were more than delighted to see our distraught parents taking us in our arms, crowing at us over how delighted they are to finally see them again…just as the light faded away. “How did you get back home?” asked Niles, “And why are you so ill?” “It was from the rain,” said Cleo, “But luckily the sunlight guided us back home.” “You are all struck with grief.
