Shhhh Don't Wake Cordy
By: Madeleine, Isabella and Alicia
‘Whoosh…’ was the sound of the wind in North Vancouver on Halloween night. Three friends had arrived home an hour earlier and were, at this moment, setting up their sleeping bags on the back porch. The three friends names were: Cordelia (Cordy), Taylor, and Chloe and they were all sleeping over at Cordy’s mansion that was right beside the woods leading to Lynn Canyon. The three friends acted like sisters but were completely different in personality and appearances. Cordy, for example, is suffering from obesity, has a giant blond afro, an enormous pimple on her forehead that glows a red light when she’s awake and one brown eye and one green eye. On the other hand, Taylor has long, straight, blond hair with blue highlights, ears that are too big for her head, and wears way too much bright red lipstick. Last but not least is Chloe who has chestnut brown hair, blue eyes, nerdy glasses, and more freckles than face!
“Oh my goodness, it’s so cold, and windy and… aww ewwww” complained a shivering Chloe who had just been accosted by a leaf to the face.
“Oh suck it up, buttercup! Why don’t you climb into your sleeping bag?” directed Taylor. Chloe swiftly obeyed. It was an unwritten rule that you never disobey Taylor. Though Taylor could be stubborn and bossy at points, she was the brave leader of the trio and generally a fun person to be around! Chloe is the brains of the group, and Cordy is the, well, we don’t really know what Cordy’s part of the group was, but it must have been important because the three girls have been friends for as long as they can remember!
“Do you want me to get more food? I don’t know about you, but I’m starving!” Began Cordy in her muffled voice.
“Really, Cordy? You just had two hamburgers, half of a large peperoni pizza and three massive bowls of ice cream covered in chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, strawberry sauce, sprinkles, oh and half a cup of sugar which is actually really gross! Not to mention the family sized bag of Cheese Puffs that you gorged down refusing to share with us, and you’re STILL hungry?” Taylor spoke sounding confused and outraged.
“Yes” replied Chloe. “Is it even possible for the human body to still feel as though it needs more food after practically filling your stomach three times over? According to my calculations…” A these stages of Chloe’s ‘educational’ lectures the other two girls usually tuned out or made excuses saying that they had to go to the bathroom or had to go to the dentist or anything to escape her beyond boring lectures.
By the time that Chloe had finished her lecture on the human stomach the two other girls had fallen asleep. Cordy, who had fallen asleep with a spoon of ice cream in her mouth, was snoring and sounded like an elephant and Taylor had fallen asleep with her face on the pillow and her knees bent so that her butt stuck up in a weird, uncomfortable looking way.
Chloe was confused as to why they had all fallen asleep during her amazing speech about the human stomach that had landed her an A+ in the science fair at school. As she was thinking about that, her fatigue swallowed her and she let herself fall into a deep sleep.
GGWWAAAKKK…POOF! A gigantic portal, the size of two humongous elephants appeared out of nowhere! It was floating on green, puffy smoke which surrounded an oval shaped portal that looked like a mirror, you could see you reflection, but not the other side.
“Woah!” What’s that? Whatever it is, it is sooo creepy” whispered Taylor to Chloe.
“Well, according to my calculations, this oversized “magic mirror” is a portal. This portal is a mush portal; a mush portal is a portal that has neon green, puffy smoke holding it.” Said Chloe in her nerdy voice.
“Chloe, you are such a brainiac, but at least Cordy isn’t awake, she will practically make a fire alarm noise if she sees this because she would FREAK out!” “Whatever” Moaned Taylor, “I’m going in, and there’s nothing that you can do to stop me”
“No, don’t go! I need help to get Cordy out of her sleeping bag. You don’t want to leave her here alone, right?! Go grab that red wagon, hopefully she can fit in it and not pop the wheels off.” Yelled Chloe.
“Ok” groaned Taylor.
Chloe and Taylor both tugged and pulled Cordy out of her fuzzy, red sleeping bag. One hour later they finally got Cordy on the red wagon. They trudged over to the portal and tiredly hopped in, successfully managing to still have Cordy on the wagon. They magically entered the lush, rich land called Mosafaz. Chloe was already drifting to sleep, but a little midget caught her eye. Weirdly, the midget was hopping on a pogo stick! He finally caught up to the three girls and had a queer look in his eye.
