A More Surprising World

Harmony Johnson Age 8

Of Make-up, Paintings, and Friendship In a castle a little bit far away, there is a kingdom: the Kamea Kingdom. It is a fancy house, and everyone in the town lives there. There are some people that are royalty and some that are just normal. They usually hear the sound of rushing water because there is a fountain inside the house. Our main two characters are Ella and Kamea. Ella and Kamea are both divas; they are really dramatic. They both like makeup a lot. Ella likes eye makeup and lip makeup. Ella’s special princess makeup is super glittery and can give whoever wears it special water powers. The person wearing the special makeup gets to choose how the fountain looks. The girls are playing with makeup in Ella’s room. Ella tells Kamea all about the special magical powers that the makeup has. Kamea’s face gets bright red, and her nose wrinkles. “That’s not fair that you have magical makeup. I want it!” Kamea shouts. She tries to take the makeup out of Ella’s hands. The girls fight for the makeup, both wanting it so badly. Then, they hear a crunch, and makeup is everywhere. It fell down in a cloud of glittery dust. “You broke it! I can’t believe you broke it,” Ella screams and starts to cry. She can’t believe her best friend broke something that’s so important to her. Ella stomps to her room to calm down. It takes two minutes for Ella to calm down. To calm down, she practices breathing by tracing her fingers. Kamea walks to her friend’s room. She knocks on the door. She says, “I am very sorry. I didn’t mean to do it.” Ella apologizes for yelling. When they are both done talking, they hug. They go to paint with their paint. After painting for two minutes, Kamea says to Ella that she likes her painting. Then Ella says, “Thank you, I like your painting too.” They then go to bed. The End!
