Before the Great Mushroom War
By: Kewi2000
Finn three months before the great Mushroom war:
"Come on buddy let's get some ice cream!" Mr. Smith waved Finn, his twelve year old son over to him where, he was climbing into his Ford. Finn sprinted into the car because ice cream was his favorite. He already imagined what he was going to order. The midnight delite chocolate ice cream, then he turned up the radio and listened for the weekly news.
"NASA has found some weird object orbiting around us and they think it's a meteorite. The next week is supposed to be nice and sunny, maybe a couple cloudy days because of the meteor. They are going to blast it soon and then things will be back to normal. This was Alex Cardinal saying weekly news." Finn turned down the radio and then thought. He loved science so he knew much about meteorites. They usually don't orbit for that long. Why was this one different? Only a few things mad Finn really excited, bubble gum, science, and ice cream. Finn then hopped out of the car when his dad and he pulled up in front of "Billy's Ice Cream Parlor".
"Hello, Finn and Sam," the owner, Billy waved to the incoming customers and then went to talk to them. "Did yal here that there is some dang gone meteor orbiting us? I think we ought to blast that thing right until Jupiter." Then he chuckled a deep chuckle and slapped his knee. Although Finn lived in South Carolina, Billy talked like he still lived in Tennessee.
"Actually I don't believe that this object is a meteor. Meteors don't orbit for this long; it would have either hit us or broken down." Finn spoke up. Billy looked at Finn like he had three heads and then went back behind the counter. Finn and his father trailed behind to the cashier. "Billy, I will have a double scoop of the Midnight Delite." Then Finn looked up for approval from his dad. Mr. Smith nodded and then glanced at the weekly selection.
"I will take a double scoop of the fudgy buddy mash, with chocolate sprinkles and a cherry on top." He looked down at Finn and Finn nodded amused by his father.
Once the two men had obtained there food they went to sit on the bench outside.
"Finn, do really think it's not a meteor up there." Mr. Smith looked gestured his head towards the sky.
"Yes, dad I really do." Finn looked into his father's eyes and then looked back to the ice cream he was ingesting and began licking it once again.
