CHAPTER 1: TIMBUCKTOOTH'S B-DAY
I cracked my eyes open as I woke up to the autumn Sunday morning. Isn't it great when your birthday is on fall break? I looked up and felt a slight fright as a chill shot down my back. I saw my little 3 year old brother hovering over me like a creeper; like Freddy Crooger would, only Poof had that little-boy cuteness Crooger could never have.
"Hi Timmy!" He said with a big smile as he plopped on top of me from floating in mid-air. He gave me the biggest hug he could. "Happy Birwfday!" He said as I gently hugged him while I sat up.
"Hi Poof," I said releasing him. "Thanks, but you know I don't like to celebrate my birthday."
"Why not?" He asked confused. "You a big kid now-and, and you'll get presents!"
"I just think it's kind of... weird, I guess," I said with a squint. "I mean, it just means I lost one year of my life. But I AM one year closer to driving."
"I-I don't want to see you drive. You crash like daddy does," He said frightened, remembering how awful a driver Cosmo is. I laughed playfully.
"Anyways, where's Cosmo and Wanda?"
"Mommy and Daddy? They sleeping. I got real sick last night-mommy's food I think-and they were up all night feeding me terrible medikin."
"Medicine, you mean?"
"No, medikin. That's what the bottle said."
"Well, let's let them sleep. We can have fun without them."
"Yeah!"
I remembered we should probably keep it down. My parents ALWAYS sleep in on Sundays. Right about now they'd just be making breakfast downstairs. They wouldn't bother waking up early to wish me a happy birthday. Wishing is my job! They've forgotten my birthday for four years straight. Why would today be any different?
"Go on back to bed, Poof. I really want to go eat breakfast, and Cosmo and Wanda should be getting up any minute," I told him as I moved my hand through his curled purple hair.
Just like that he was gone in a cloud of pink, glittery dust, leaving me alone to go downstairs.
How was it! It's been a while since I've written stories, so I'm a little Rusty right now. Next chapter should be up soon! I'm also gonna start doing end of chapter questions again because people asked for them, like this one:
