I live in England and for me i have to be at school at 8.35. I don't know what time you go to school in America so I just used this time as it seemed OK.


Friends or Family

"Hello and welcome to the Eagle Breakfast Show!"

Buffy's radio alarm clock announced. Buffy woke up with a jump and looked at the clock on her bedroom wall. Oh No! It was already 8.30 A.M! She whizzed around her bedroom, dressing and brushing her hair. She raced down the stairs, grabbed some toast and sprinted out of the back door. She looked at her watch. Phew, it was only 8.35 in the morning, she wouldn't be late for school.

On the way to school she stopped to meet up with Rachel and Ashley at the bus stop, as Rachel and Ashley lived further away from the school than her. Rachel was pondering what date her party should be.

"How about Saturday the 21st of March? I can come then!" suggested Buffy, and disappeared into the classroom. Ashley murmured that yes, she could come on that day, and vanished into the classroom too.

3 Days Later

After school, Buffy met her dad. She was extremely surprised, because he was usually at work. Then she realised, it must be her mum's birthday tomorrow, at the weekend. She was going to Alton Towers as a special family day out. Oh No! Rachel's party was then! Should she disappear on her mum's birthday, or risk Rachel's friendship?

That night she couldn't sleep. She lay tossing and turning, and by dawn, she decided to tell her mum the problem. So she got up, but before she could tell her mum the problem, the phone rang. It was Rachel, the party was cancelled, as her mum was too busy to stay at home and look after Rachel and her friends. Rachel was going to go to her Dad's place for the day.

"Wait a minute, Rachel." She said excitedly, and asked her mum something. " Don't go to your dad's, just be at my house in fifteen minutes," she told Rachel and rang Ashley to tell her the good news.

They all went to Alton Towers as a joint birthday treat for Rachel and Joyce. They all loved going on the Big Dipper so much that they went on it until they felt sick. Then Ashley exclaimed, "When should I have MY party?"

"How about Sunday the 16th of April?" suggested Buffy; "I can, most definitely, come then!"

Oops! That was her father's birthday!
