The Secret of the Flying Llama-Hey, so this is a story I wrote for English class. I had to use my vocab lessons to write a story, and this is lesson one. Enjoy!
"SHHH! Guys we need to be quiet, hence the meaning of the 'secret meeting'," Nicole scolded Ally, Emily, Janae, and I.
"Oh, Nicole, don't be such a worry-wart," Janae retorted. "We're not being that loud."
"Actually, you are, so shush!"
"Both of you, stop bickering like a married couple. I'm bringing this meeting to order…where's my gavel?" Emily looked around. "Ally and Lyssi, stop hitting each other with the gavel. Give it to me. Now!" Reluctantly, I walked over and gave it back to her.
"Killjoy," I said when I gave it back.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say. Now, we are actually going to start. So, now we all know why were are here," Emily and paused, looked around, and spotted Ally's and my blank faces. "Guys, we were talking about this yesterday. You already forgot? Well, we are here to discuss how to find where Nick is hiding the flying llama. We have tried compromising with him but he will still not divulgewhere it is hidden. Anyone have any ideas? Yes, Lyssi?"
"Did Janae just try asking him where it was? I mean, she's always been the gregarious one."
"Lyssi, that's so tactless. I can't just go up and be like, 'By the way, where are you hiding the flying llama? Tell me, or I'll coerce you using a feather.' That'll go over well." Janae rolled her eyes at me. "You need to go through meticulous planning."
"It was just a suggestion. Geez, don't freak out on me."
"How about we do a secret spy mission, like in Dr. No?" Ally suggested.
"Yeah, that sounds good," Emily agreed.
"Ooo, can I be the Double-oh-seven guy?" Janae asked.
"Ew, you want to be a guy?" Ally asked.
"No, I just figured I should be the super-cool main leader, because I'm awesome like that."
Emily banged the gavel again. "Must you guys argue every five minutes? Focus. We need to start planning." We all moved in a little bit, to hear better. Each person shot out ideas, with many objections from Nicole.
"Guys, don't do that! It's too dangerous. You could get hurt, or caught, or--"
"Nicole, you need to get some temerity and relax. Don't worry so much," Ally said.
"Yes, but, Ally, if Nicole wasn't cautious, how many times do you think we would have already killed ourselves or gotten in a lot of trouble? She is the one who keeps us from doing all the idiotic things we think of," I reminded them.
"True, true."
"Wow, you guys really can't go more that five minutes without arguing," Emily said with a laugh.
We got back to work, and after tedious amounts of new ideas and rejections, with several more arguments, and finally had the perfect plan.
