Annie

Annie

by Akielia Williams

Once upon a time, there was a large, happy family living in a small village named Richmond Hill. There was a little girl named Annie. Annie was the middle child for her parents. Annie’s parents had nine children, four older brothers and four younger sisters. Annie’s mom was a leprechaun while her dad was an ogre. Annie has a poodle dog named Paige that loves ice cream. Annie walks Paige every morning before she goes to school. One day, while she was walking Paige, Annie saw a green-yellow tree that grew apples. But today, instead, it grew money, candies, and dolls. Annie started to pick the money, candies, and the dolls off the tree. Annie ran back home as fast as she could. When she got home she gave her mom the money and took the dolls and candies to the kids in the neighborhood. The dolls had fair skin with yellow and black hair. The candies were shaped like the actual shape of a heart, the heart with veins popping out. The heart candies were colors such as green, blue, red, and black. They were the size of a real heart. Annie’s mom tasted the heart candy. She said it was sweet at first, with a tangy blood taste. What the children didn’t know was that it would turn their teeth into fangs. Annie goes to a school and tells her friends and teachers what she saw, tasted, and what happened to her teeth. Annie is in the sixth grade in a school called Prep School. Graduation Day was near, June 16th to be exact, and it was already May. Annie wants to go to St. Joseph Convent and had no idea that both her best friends want to go to the same school. As the next day comes, they meet at the magical bus stop. Their parents, who grew up in the same ogre community and on the same leprechaun rainbow, have been making them ride the magic school bus since fourth grade. As they got to school, they headed to the music room to take pictures in their graduation gowns and then they had to take pictures in the back of the school with the whole class. The more and more they practice the graduation song, the closer graduation day comes. On the day of graduation everyone had their fangs sharpened, gills cleaned, mohawk intact, and bow tie perfect. The principal made speech after speech, one long blink and it was all over. After the whole graduation

ceremony, they attend Blue Moon, which has a pool where they eat and enjoy their last day with friends and teachers. After they eat, it is now time for them to go their separate ways. As Annie and her parents are walking home, they see the tree, but it’s nothing but branches. Annie knew that the neighbors went and took it off but her mom didn’t believe her because her mom never saw the tree before. As they continued walking, there was a bigger tree with money, candies, and dolls right next to their home. Her parents thought that she was lying, but as she saw the tree, she believed, but it was two trees where the neighbors had one and the family had one. Annie took the money, candies, and dolls and shared, but she never kept it to herself. She always shared it and from her being so kind, more trees grew around her home, so she and her family lived happily ever after.
