Gold Mining, Treasure Hunting Adventure:

NOTE: Collaboration with a friend.

It was October 30, 2021. The Davidson family, their genies, and kids were riding in the van (driven by William) to the Goldfield Ghost Town, in Goldfield, Arizona, which was close to the Superstition Mountains. They planned to stay all day. Yesterday, in the Davidson family attic, William discovered a piece of paper given to him by his grandfather he kept there. When he didn't think of it much, that day, he looked closer at it, and he realized that it was a treasure map. The treasure was hidden near an old, abandoned barn there!

William: Well, this is going to be a great day.

Shine: Yep, we're going treasure hunting!

Mary: I wonder how much gold we can find.

Zeta: (chuckles) Well, Mary, we'll see when we get there, if we find anything.

Soon, the team arrived at the Goldfield Ghost Town, and everyone got out of the van. Leah, Mary, Shimmer, and Shine took a look at the Ghost Town...

Leah: Whoa, this ghost town is ancient!

Calady: Yes, Leah, these old buildings had actually been around since the 1890's!

Shimmer: (surprised) Wow, that long?

Calady nodded. William stated, 'We all better get on horses for this adventure.' The team went to borrow 4 horses to ride on, with 2 people to ride on each one. (thought Morain had to be strapped tight with Zeta and Marlin on their horse) Everyone headed into the ghost town, each of them taking turns by checking all of the old buildings to see if there were any clues on them. Leah, Mary, and Marlin walked into this creepy old barn, and they saw that the piano in here was playing by itself...

Marlin: (surprised yelp) What's that?!

Along with Marlin, Leah and Mary were afraid at first. However, Leah saw a piece of paper pop up and down every time a different note played...

Leah: Guys, there's a piece that's coming up from the piano every time a different note plays!

Leah grabbed the paper, then she, Zac, and Marlin looked at the paper...

Leah: (reading the paper) 'Go to the dark mine shaft to find your next clue.'

Leah, Mary, and Marlin then walked out of the bar, and told the others about the clue they found. Then the two kids and one adult got back on their horses, and headed to the mine. Everyone got off the horses, and then went inside the dark mine. They went underground, and looked all around for the next clue. Zeta soon saw a pole with a red mark on it...

Zeta: I see a red mark on that pole!

Everyone went to the pole, and saw, up above, a piece of paper hanging on the top of it. Zeta climbed the pole with incredible ease, grabbed the piece of paper, then climbed back down. Zeta then read the next clue to everyone: 'Get on a train, and ride on it until you see a blue mark onto a dirt area near the oldest cactuses there.' With a guide, the team got onto the train, and rode it, each keeping an eye out for that blue mark. Soon, they got to the old castuses, with everyone looking for the mark all around...

Mary: I see it!

The blue mark was under a big rock...

Leah: I think that mark under the rock might mean there's something buried under there!

William: Good thing we brought shovels!

The genies and humans began digging at the spot when the blue mark was. After a while, Shine felt something hard...

Shine: I think I found something!

Shine pulls it out, revealing it to be a small treasure box...

Zeta: Wow, is this the treasure?

Shine: Let's find out.

Shine opened the box, and everyone saw that it was a big diamond with a clue on it. The clue read: Go south to the silver marked cave to find the black box for the next clue.' Everyone then walked two miles down south, until they saw a cave with a silver mark on the side...

Marlin: This must be it!

The genies and humans went inside the cave, and they saw a black box there. The genies were prepared to use their magic to defend themselves and their friends and family, if something happened. Leah grabbed the black box from the middle of the cave, and opened it... to reveal a lot of small rings, and the last clue inside. Leah read the paper to everyone: 'Find the barn just one more south, and then you'll find the treasure'.

Zeta: Let's head out, we're almost there!

The team headed out south, and about a mile later, they saw the old, abandoned barn...

William: I see the barn!

Shimmer: The treasure must be inside!

Everyone ran to the barn, and went inside, where they saw a gold on the ground in the middle of the barn...

Leah: This must be where the treasure box is buried!

Calady: Let's go!

Everyone had their shovels ready, and started digging at that spot. After a while, the team dug up the huge treasure box, and pulled it out...

Mary: Wow, this is huge!

Leah: Let's open it.

Shimmer and Shine opened the treasure box, and it contained a ton of riches, which amazed everyone. The chest was filled with a combination of huge diamonds, gold rings, gold coins, and gold nuggets. Then they all carried it out of the barn...

William: We're all too tired to walk all the way back.

Marlin: Yeah, how we get back to the ghost town?

Leah: Not to worry. (to Shimmer and Shine) I wish we each had a motorized scooter, and something to carry the treasure chest back.

Shine: Boom Zahramay! First wish of the day! Shimmer and Shine wish granted, divine!

Everyone received a magical motorized scooter, and a big magical cart held the chest. As soon as the team got back to the ghost town, they put the huge chest in the back of the van, they drive it all the way to the Chase Bank in Apache Junction. The bank could not believe how much treasure the team had come across. Soon, the genies and humans were waiting for a specialist to come and decide how much their fortune was worth. The team found out that the whole treasure box was worth $10 million dollars...

Shimmer: Wow, that is zahra-mazing!

William: Thank you, girls. My grandfather would have been proud that we found the treasure.

Leah: I'm sure he would be.

Shine: (nods) Yeah, he definitely would.

The team decided to put the money in the Davidson family bank account. Then everyone got in the van, and drove home. On the ride home, everyone thought about the fun adventure they had going to the Goldfield Ghost Town, and finding a lot of treasure.
