ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

by Mehri Garmadon

I did it guys: the Ice Bucket Challenge. You can nominate me again if you want to. (The cover art is about the extent of my artistic talents XD)

So, I was nominated for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by HailsStorm and I did it in real life, but my face isn't allowed on social media (paranoid parents and creepy stalkers) so this is exactly what happened, word for word, thanks CupcakeOfAwesomeness also known as my best friend, Jayce, for recording it. She said she'd play it at my wedding. Or my funeral. Whichever comes first.

*recording*

I stared at the bucket of icy water in anticipation. "Don't you think that's enough ice, Jayce?" I asked, skeptically. She nodded, laughing as she added more ice. "You're next," I coughed, so she couldn't quite make our what I said.

She passed me the purple (obviously) bucket. "Ready, Mehri?" Before I could answer, she pressed the record button on her Kobo Arc.

*recording stopped*

*recording*

"Oops, haha, it was already recording!" Jayce laughed as she turned it back on. "Okay, now you're on."

I waved nervously. "Uh, hey! I'm Mehri (*plane flies low overhead so you can't hear my last name*)." I looked suspiciously over at Jayce. "Positive this won't be posted on any social media?"

"Not unless you do it yourself," she replied. "Now hurry up!"

"Okay, okay!" I cleared my throat. "I was nominated by HailsStorm, thank you." I said that last part with massive sarcasm. "Anyways, in case I do not survive-"

"I'll play this at your funeral!" Jayce volunteered.

I gave her an icy glare. "Thanks for that, JJ. As I was saying, if I don't survive, here are my nominees. I nominate MoonOfMoons-"

"Can you do that?" Jayce asked. "I mean, three people run that account."

"Dunno, don't care," I shrugged. "Also, I nominate mykindleisawesome and NinjaWriterMaster!"

"Wait, you seriously didn't nominate me?!" Jayce asked.

"Do you want to be nominated?" At her silence, I whispered, "You're not nominated for now." I looked directly at the camera and mouthed, "Someone please nominate her."

Then I grabbed the bucket. "Okay, GOODBYE WORLD!" And I dumped the freezing water on my head. I began hopping from foot to foot with my eyes squeezed shut. "Oh that's cold!" I started shaking, trying to get the water off. "Crap that's cold!"

To get my revenge, I began chasing Jayce around the lawn, knocking the camera over in the process.

*recording stopped*

Okay, MoonOfMoons, mykindleisawesome and NinjaWriterMaster, you heard me, I'll be PMing you right away, just in case you don't read this.

And anyone who wants to can nominate me. Surprisingly, I wouldn't mind doing that again.
