athroom—the bathroom smelled<br />

like roses, and Sicky hated roses.<br />

He used a laser gun that shot<br />

germs so whoever he got close<br />

to would get the germs. Sicky<br />

had small wings on his back and<br />

carried an umbrella that he used<br />

as a shield. He also had teleporting<br />

powers, but that took a huge<br />

amount of energy to use.<br />

Arial was with her friend Mia<br />

taking Lulu, her puppy, for a<br />

walk when she heard two of the<br />

townspeople saying it was the<br />

Annual Gems Day.<br />

“It’s the Annual Gems Day, we<br />

better get decorating,” they said.<br />

Annual Gems Day was the day<br />

when the first gem tree grew<br />

from the Forest of Gems (that<br />

first tree was the great tree). The<br />

Forest of Gems was a forest with<br />

bright red trees that have gems<br />

instead of leaves and each one<br />

has its own gems. The grass<br />

there was red and green mixed<br />

together. The red grass was hot,<br />

and the green grass was cold.<br />

There were many things that lived<br />

there like animals, such as the<br />

gem squirrels (that had a gem<br />

in the middle of their stomachs),<br />

golden rabbits (that were very<br />

shiny), talking parrots (they were<br />

colourful and could actually talk),<br />

some people, medical masks, and<br />

gloves that help you when you<br />

get sick, and ya.<br />

In the middle of the forest was the<br />

biggest tree of all which grows<br />

all the gems in the universe. In<br />

the middle of the great tree was<br />

a multi-coloured gem which<br />

gave the whole forest its colours.<br />

If it was ever stolen then the<br />

forest would lose its colour and<br />

whoever had that gem would<br />

be very powerful (but that won’t<br />

happen because the forest is so<br />

protective, right?).<br />

Now back to Arial and Mia.<br />

‘‘I totally forgot that, I mean how<br />

can I forget I mean my great<br />

great great great great I DON’T<br />

EVEN KNOW HOW MANY GREAT<br />

grandfather planted the first<br />

tree,” said Arial.<br />

‘‘What, you didn’t tell me that!”<br />

shouted Mia.<br />

‘‘Oh, I guess I forgot, but<br />

let’s go home and decorate<br />

for Gems Day!”<br />

They both went back to their<br />

homes in the sky.<br />

Sicky the germ monster didn’t<br />

know anything about Gems Day<br />

or the forest until now.<br />

Sicky was going shopping for free<br />

stuff like always (because Sicky is<br />

a virus that spreads and obviously<br />

no one wants it) when a piece of<br />

paper flew in his face.
