It was a beautiful day in the creek, the water clear and crystal blue, not a single cloud in sight. Birds were chirping happily, singing their happy little song as they walked through the air, the sounds of the forest filling the area with such a sweet sound that it made everyone happy to hear it. It was like music to their ears, one which could only be heard during such a wonderful time of the year.
And in the largest tree, is a big clubhouse, filled with activities, comics and board games. At this very moment there's two boys inside the clubhouse, both enjoying some of the best time of their young lives. One of them was playing a handheld electric Football game. This Caucasian boy was wearing a white shirt with red and blue stripes, navy blue pants, black shoes, striped socks. He had shaggy blackish-brown hair, and a slightly big pinkish-red nose. His name was Alex Pines.
The other guy was reading a "Fairly Odd Parents" comic. He was a chubby Caucasian kid with long hair, dark blue eyes, and a missing tooth. He wore a Houston Oilers T-shirt with jean shorts, orange socks and black shoes. His name was Jack.
By sheer coincidence, Priscilla and Karen had just arrived at the clubhouse, Priscilla had never been here before. She didn't know anyone at all here. But somehow, when they came into the clubhouse, she instantly felt drawn to this place, where there was so much potential for fun and happiness.
And although she still had not met any of her new friends yet, she knew they would eventually come around. She always believed that people eventually change their minds and become your friend.
Jack and Alex noticed Priscilla in the clubhouse. They've never seen this girl before, so the glanced at her in confusion, not really believing what they saw.
Jack pointed his finger towards Priscilla's direction, as if saying, "Who is that?"
Alex turned his head around, taking a good look at Priscilla. "Oh, hello." he said, giving a friendly wave of his hand. Priscilla also gave him a friendly wave back. The two strangers seemed nice enough, she thought.
They then decided to go and introduce themselves.
"Hi guys, I'm Jack and this is Alex." Jack said.
"Nice to meet you! My name is Priscilla. Nice to meet you both!" Priscilla said.
She then introduced herself and gave an awkward smile, clearly feeling out of place. Alex looked at Priscilla and smiled, he too was unsure about meeting someone like this, but he wasn't complaining about meeting new people here either.
"I'm glad we got to meet you!" Alex said cheerfully.
Priscilla returned the smile and said "Thanks, I think."
Jack then asked, "Do you wanna join us? We're gonna play some baseball later today."
Priscilla was surprised. She was the type of kid who was either picked last or never picked in games at Recess or after school. And Jack just asked her to hang out with them?! It felt pretty surreal, considering how many times she was practically shoved to the side. Still, it didn't mean that she couldn't have fun at least. So Priscilla accepted the invitation. She went over to an ice box and saw there were popsicles, apples, yogurt and ice cream bars.
"Wow these are so cool!" Priscilla exclaimed.
Jack chuckled and said, "Yeah well, my mom has been buying these lately, thinking it might make me happy. Well, now that she's done it, I guess it did."
"That's actually really thoughtful of your mom!" Priscilla complimented.
"So do you want a pop or something?" Jack offered.
Priscilla nodded and took one, eating it quickly before it started melting due to the hot temperatures out here. Her face immediately lit up as soon as the taste hit her tongue. Jack smirked and remarked, "Nice, huh?"
Jack took Priscilla on a tour around the clubhouse. It really was a nice place, everything was neat and clean; no trash, no littering etc, everything was just perfectly organized. They explored most of the different rooms in the clubhouse; it was kind of spacious, especially for a tree clubhouse. It had a couple couches, bean bags, beanbag chairs, tables, books, and many others things scattered around the room. Priscilla thought it was super cool.
They found a few kids hanging out at a table in the corner. They had headphones on and were playing a game called Go Fish. Jack introduced himself to the three children.
After they left, Priscilla realized that she hadn't even introduced herself, so she walked towards the children.
"Uh... hi. My name's Priscilla. It's great to meet you all." She said politely.
One of the kids replied, "We're Matt and Sam, we're playing Go Fish."
Sam then continued, "You can play too if you'd like."
"Oh uh," she hesitated. Was that allowed? Maybe she shouldn't. Then again, what harm was there, it would only be fun. So she sat down across from them and played the game with them for a while, laughing and joking around.
"Man, I haven't had this much fun in months." Priscilla said while smiling, as she looked at the other children sitting at the table, all of whom were having more fun than she was.
"Like the place we got here?" Karen asks.
"Yeah." Priscilla smiled. "I wish I could stay here forever."
"IT'S HERE!" A voice shouted below them. It was a female voice that surprised them all. All of them then stood up and to the edge of the clubhouse, looking down to where the voice came from.
At the bottom, they all found five kids standing around, motioning them to fallow them.
"Come on, hurry up!" Another girl yelled, running around the clubhouse, frantically throwing things onto the ground.
Finally, the kids finally reached the bottom of the ladder. There, standing underneath them, was more friends of them.
"Where were you guys?!" Karen shouted confused.
All the other kids shrugged and answered in unison, "Somewhere totally awesome."
Everyone laughed, except Priscilla. Not exactly sure why though.
"Well, whatever, let's get going!" Karen announced.
Priscilla looked at them with confusion on her face, wondering where exactly they were going.
Karen looked at Priscilla and said, "Don't worry about it, don't question it, trust me." Then the group began to walk off, leaving behind Priscilla in the middle of nowhere. She was completely baffled, but nonetheless she followed along with them, curious to see where they were going.
