1Tricky Trip Oh, great! Just great. Here I am, walking through the old woods, just full of awe and wonder, admiring all the beauty of this chopped-down forest full of mosquitoes! Yeah, right! And to top it all off, my younger brother Matthew is having a great time!!! Now I wouldn´t mind that, would actually enjoy it, if I was liking it to, but as I´m not? It´s annoying! Okay. So you´re probably wondering, "Who are you? And what are you talking about?" So, here´s how it all got started. My name´s Libby Kat, and I used to live in a beautiful mansion in Connecticut. Used to. Until the Rombarts moved in next door. "Li-li! Lili, where aaaare you?" That was my friend Beck Rombart. Becky´s who started the whole thing. (No hard feelings, Becky) "Libby, I need to ask you something!" "What is it?" I asked, a bit reluctantly, I´ll admit. Beck tended to have some pretty crazy ideas. "I want to know if you can come with me to my uncles house." "No." "He lives under the grou- ound!" she sang. Beck knows I love darkness. "Ehh.... Okay. If- Matthew can come." "Sure!" I asked that because my parents are on a two-month trip to... Now that I think about it they didn´t actually say where! Well I have to take care of Matthew. “But...let´s just call my parents to be sure it´s okay." They said it was, for who knew how weird and possibly dangerous it would be? Well, the three of us soon set out, and guess what? Beck petered out and went home!!! Leaving us a map of how to get there- and not how to get back- she set off home. Her uncle´s house, to! So, here I am, tramping along through stumps, and I already have 5,632 bites, oh look there´s another. How many does that make? I´m too tired to count; I´ll check the map. "Matt! Great news! There´s only one and a half more miles to go! Oh. Matt. Bad news. There´s a swamp." Now that would be hard enough for most people, but much harder with us. Neither me nor my brother go good with water. At all. "Yay! A swamp!" "Not yay, Matt, it has water." "Oh no." "Why ´oh no´?" a strange voice asks. "Who said that!" screamed Matthew. "I did." said the bird that was suddenly standing right in front of us! "Whoa!" said Matt, and he was right to say that. The bird that was standing in front of us was grey. Oh no, he´s blue! Looked like grey to me. No, he is grey, no purple! Hey, Matthew, look at that wonderful plumage, hey, Libby, what are you talking about, he´s as bald as can be! See what I mean? One. Odd. Bird. I was first to get my wits together, and gave my inquiry about why it wasn´t oh no, explaining our situation. "But you shouldn´t to the swamp! It´s dangerous there!" "Then where can we go?" "Well the place is right there!!" he said, pointing with his green wing that was completely blue. Suddenly, the tiger that apparently had been blocking our way ran off, and we saw a signpost in the earth. On it was printed in bold black letters: ´who are you? I´m Beck Rombart´s uncle; my name is Jane. Why do you come into my terrain? Who are you?´ "Whoa, he´s pretty good at rhyming!" I said to the strange bird. But just as quickly as he had appeared, he had disappeared! "Well I guess we should go down here?" supposed Matt. "Okay...." So we walked over. "How do we get down?" wondered Libby Kat, otherwise known as ME! Hmmmmm.... "I am Libby Kat. This is my brother, Matthew Kat. We are friends of Beck Rombart," I said. Then we were not standin in front of that sign there, we were lying on a bunk bed!!! (Yay I get top!) We were later told something about... Us standing in the wrong place? So... Instead of climbing down the ladder we fell and hit our heads? Don´t know what that’s all about, but... We had made it there! That was when everything went bonkers. That was when our parents walked in. "Libby? Matthew? Is that you?" (My mom) "Mom? Dad? Momdadmomdadmomdadmomdad!!!!" (Me and Matt) "YAHOOOOO!!!!!" (My dad, heeheehee! my dad´s crazy and funny!) "What are you doing here?" I asked, once all the reunions were complete. "We thought it would be a fun surprise for the end of our trip,” grinned my dad. “Beck is your cousin. We sent her out to clue you in." "And now I´m back," said the warm sweet voice I know so well. "And now that I´m back, who wants to play soccer?" Yahoo! The End
