" Happy Birthday to you!" Jack's family and friends cheered as Jack blew the candles. He was turning 14. Jack smiled and laughed.
" Here, Jack. Look what I made for you!" Emma, who was now 6, hopped over and gave him a painting and a card. He looked at the painting first. It was a painting of Jack and Emma ice-skating, laughing and having fun. Then, he opened the card.
Happy 14th Birthday, Jack! I hoped you like the painting because I worked really hard on it! You should have parties every time because you deserve it! You're the best brother anyone can have!
Sincerely, Emma Overland
Jack beamed, then looked into Emma's brown eyes. They were filled with excitement and warmth. He smiled and hugged his sister tightly. Emma hugged him back.
" And you're the best sister anyone can have." he whispered. He got up from his chair and held Emma's hand.
" Now let's go play some games." he said. They walked over to a group of kids playing party games. That day was a fun one.
Easter
" Come on, Jack! Let's go hunt for eggs before other kids get them!" said Emma, hopping up and down. Jack laughed.
" Not if we're faster than them." he laughed. He ran out with Emma chasing after him. They each found 13 eggs and were still willing to find more. Every time a kid reached the egg before them, Emma will pout.
" It's okay. There's still a lot more." assured Jack. They saw two kids throwing sticks at a tall oak tree.
" What are they doing?" asked Emma. Jack curiously walked over and saw two familiar boys.
" Hey Anthony and Jeremy. What are you guys doing?" asked Jack. They pointed at an Easter egg perched on a branch. Jack knew what to do. He climbed up and crawled onto the branch where the egg was perched on. He grabbed it and tossed it to Anthony. He hanged upside down and swing on the branch.
" Jack! Get down from there, you might get hurt!" cried Emma.
" Hey, it's okay Emma. I won't fall." replied Jack. He smiled and swing more.
" Hey, look! I'm a monkey!" He started making monkey noises and silly faces. The younger kids laughed. He liked making them laugh.
" You're so silly, Jack!" laughed Jeremy. Jack climbed down.
" Okay, kids. Let's go home." said Jack. They walked home laughing.
Christmas
Jack's family sat around a campfire on a Christmas night. They shared stories and laughter and cries were heard by night animals. When it was Jack's turn, he blushed.
" Sorry, I don't think I'm a great storyteller." he mumbled.
" It's okay. Just tell a story." replied Jack's mom, putting her arm around Jack.
" I don't have one though." answered Jack.
" Make one up." laughed Jack's dad.
" Okay." Emma's face brighten and so did the other kids. They loved to watch Jack, because that's what keeps them happy and alive.
" Well, um..." Jack saw two broken branches by a old tree. He went over and held them in both hands.
" This story is called the... Dancing Reindeer!" he said. He stick the branches on his head and started dancing. Emma and the kids laughed.
" Santa was bored, and called every one of the reindeers to entertain him. Each one was as good as the other one. The last reindeer decided to dance a silly dance." Jack danced randomly and everyone laughed.
" "Look Santa! You like my dance?" asked the reindeer. Santa looked up and started laughing. Tears came out because of too many laughter." said Jack. " And uh, that's it." Everybody clapped and laughed.
" That dance was hilarious!" commented Anthony.
" We liked it!" commented Jeremy.
" Thanks." said Jack. Emma smiled.
" You're a great comedian, Jack." Emma said, then smiled.
" Thanks, little sis." beamed Jack.
Eh, sorry if it wasn't as good as it was suppose to be. I was in a rush! As always, REVIEW! :)
