Chapter 2: I Win An All Expense Paid Trip To Disney World

I sat there in my room alone listening to music on my iPod. When suddenly I remembered the contest on TV. Very quickly I turned on my TV and checked to see if I missed anything. Luckily they hadn't announce the winners yet. You see they were holding this Disney contest on TV to see how many people knew about the Disney Movies and the characters in them both the heroes and villains. I hadn't remembered much of the Disney Movies as I last watched them when I was only ten. So I had my sister Kathy help me out with that part of the contest. She agreed to help me, on the condition that if I won I would take her me to Disney World." Kathy I might not win the contest" I tried explaining to her." I know, but just in case you do, I want you to swear that you will take me with you". Let me tell you something taking your little bratty sister to Disney World with no parental guidance was not one of the top things on my to do list. But I guess it's a small price to pay for a free trip to the happiest place on earth. I reluctantly agreed to her proposal and she helped with the answers to Disney trivia. For example in the movie Dumbo what did Dumbo and Timothy the mouse see after they drunk a bucketful of champagne?" Pink Elephants" Kathy told me." Are you sure" I asked?" Hey who's the Disney expert here". I couldn't argue with her because it was true my sister was a Disney manic. She knew everything about Disney when Walt Disney was born, when he died and knew the exact order of when the classic Disney movies came out. So without much complaining I answered the question on my answer sheet The next question that popped up on the screen was what was the object the evil queen in Snow White used to answer her questions?" The Magic Mirror On The Wall" answered Kathy. I again wrote the answer on my piece of paper. More and more questions kept popping up like who was Peter Pan's archenemy? What was Pinocchio's wish? Who killed Mufasa in The Lion King? My sister answered them all without hesitation. Finally we answered the last question in the contest which number 50 I believe. After we checked over our answers to make sure I wrote down the right stuff, we folded up the answer sheet in a little envelope and put in our mailbox. It's been over three weeks now since the contest first began and now it would finally come to an end. I really hoped I would be one of those lucky people to go to Disney World. Finally after saying a lot about there are no real losers in this contest and blah...blah...blah. The announcer finally was going to announce the winners of the Disney contest. I crossed my fingers hoping that my luck wouldn't failed me now. If I had known what would have happened then, I would have just walked away from the TV and forget the whole thing. But there I was standing there waiting impatiently for the names of the winners to be read. The announcer then began to read the names off. The First winner was a guy named Drew Puckett. The next one was a girl named Maria Frisco. I was started to get anxious when my named wasn't called up yet. The next winner was a another guy named Bernard Leflore. I had just about given up hope that my named would be announced as one of the winners and that I would lose my free trip to Disney World. But then my face lit up as they called the name for the next winner." And the fourth winner of the Disney contest, who will be going to Disney World with our other winners is Jack Randall. I practically lost control of myself when I heard my name called. I jumped of the couches in my living room, ran around the entire house and just screamed like an idiot. Finally I settled down and listened to the next round of contest winners." Now let's see here, ahh the fourth winner of the Disney contest is... Rachel Valiant". My mouth dropped in open shock. My former best friend also won the contest. I was surprised because usually Rachel is too preoccupied with her school work, that she doesn't have time to "participate in these silly games" as she would put it. I wonder how she managed to find the time to enter the contest and why? I didn't ponder this very long though, for then the announcer announced the next winner. "Let's see here the next winner is a young 7 year old girl who happens to be the sister of one of our winners here today, We like to congralute Kathy Randall". I couldn't believe it my sister actually won the contest, she didn't even enter it in the first place. Then the weirdest thing happened. The announcer was about to declare the next winner when my TV started to glow a bright blue. The announcer and the crowd of people started to get louder. It actually felt that I was actually there in Disney World Orlando, Florida. But that was impossible I thought. The blue glow on my TV started to get bigger and bigger. Then strange winds started to come from on whirl around me like a mini tornado. It actually felt like I was being pulled towards the TV . Then I realized that was exactly what was happening. I did the only natural thing a kid does when he is being pulled towards a TV with hurricane winds blowing out of them, I screamed like crazy. I gripped the edge of my couch and held on with all my strength trying to stop myself from being hurled towards the TV. The winds blew stronger and the cold air stung my eyes. I saw my grip on the couch begin to slip. I tried to hold on as tight as I could, but it was no use. At the end the last thing I remember was letting go of the couch and screaming my head off as I was pulled towards the TV by the strong winds.
