LILY'S GREAT ADVENTURE
Chapter One: The Birthday Surprise
Lily Kindell awoke on the morning of July 28th feeling tired and groggy. The summer sun was shining brightly in through her filtered blinds, making her feel warm even though her fan was on. She yawned. Slowly, as she lay in her bed, excitement began to shoot through Lily's veins.
Today was her sixteenth birthday.
"Whoo hoo!" she yelled as she jumped out of bed. Dancing, she sang, "Go me! It's my birthday! Literally! So party anyway!" Lily quickly got changed and ran into her parents' room.
"AAAAAAAAGH!" she screamed, terrified at the sight before her.
Lindsey, her older sister, had an axe in her hand and was chopping her parents' legs off!
"LINDSEY! MY EVIL SISTER! WHY HAVE YOU MURDERED OUR PARENTS?!?!"
Lily was on the verge of tears. Suddenly, her mother's voice came: "Lily! Calm down!"
Shocked, Lily looked up to see her mom and dad's smiling faces. "What?"
"Lily, it's alright," Monte Kindell said. "Lindsey is just giving us some yoga-chopping-your-legs-off-therapy.
"Oh."
"Hey there!" Run Around Sue Kindell said. In response, Lily said, "Howdy!"
"Oh, yeah! Happy birthday, Lily!" her dad said happily. "We've got a surprise for you."
"Yeah, I kind of figured that out because it's the name of the chapter title."
"Lindsey, grab my legs for me. We have to give Lily her present."
Lindsey grabbed their legs and re-attached them to their torsos. Lily moved away from the door to let her parents pass through. Her sister was the last one out. As she walked by Lily, Lindsey said, scowling, "I loathe you with a passion."
Lily grinned. "I know. That's because I am so awesome and cool that you're jealous of me. But don't worry. Lots of people feel that way."
"You're right," Lindsey said angrily.
"Ha ha!" Lily said in a sing-song voice, and walked down the hall into the dining room. "So," she said, sitting on a barstool, "what's the big surprise?"
Lily 's mom smiled excitedly. "Well, we're- -"
"HEY, LILY! LOOK!"
Lily's younger brother Jeremy ran into the room from the Bat Cave, dressed in a black costume.
"Look! I'm," he said, "BAT GUY! FEAR ME, JESTER! TRY TO HURT ME, FIVE-FACE!" Jeremy then decided to run around the kitchen, singing his theme song: "DA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BAT GUY!"
Lily rolled her eyes and when he came close enough to her, Lily clothes-lined him. As he lay on the ground moaning, she asked her mom, "So, you were saying?"
Susan Kindell smiled widely. "What would you say to a little vacation?"
Lily was excited. "Vacation? Where?"
"Miss Lily Marie Kindell," her dad said in a game-show-host voice, "you are going on an all-expense-paid trip to the luxurious island of Jamaica in the Caribbean Sea!"
Lily gasped. Jamaica? WOW! "Are you freakin' serious?!"
"Yes we are freaking serious!" her mom said. "Your plane leaves tomorrow at 11:00 am."
Wow! Lily thought. This is awesome! Then something dawned on her. "Wait. Aren't you guys coming?"
"Nope!" said her father. "We are going to put you on a plane to another country and leave you completely alone!"
"Oh," Lily said. She thought for a minute, and had an idea. "Can my best friend Patty come because she is cool and awesome?" she asked.
Her parents exchanged looks before saying in unison, "Of course!"
"WHOO HOO!" Lily screamed. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She then hugged her mom and dad and ran out of the kitchen and into her bedroom. She grabbed her phone and hastily dialed Patty's number.
"Patty! You won't believe what just happened!!!"
A/N: This is just supposed to be a fun, dumb little story that is not to be taken seriously. I actually wrote it for my friend last year as a birthday gift, but all names have bee changed to protect the innocent. ;-) Also, there is a lot of random things happening before and during the story (such as the evil Lindsey chopping her parents' legs off), but it's all part of the fun! Anyway, hope you enjoy the whole story!
