Birthday
Amanda woke up.
'Yes yes yes!' She thought.
'It's my birthday and its conference day so I don't have go to school!'
Amanda jolted out of bed, got on her fluffy pink cat hoody, and got on her fluffy brown leggings.
'The plan is commencing.' Amanda ran out of her bedroom and into her sister, Amy's bedroom.
"Amy." She whispered.
"Groooooooo......" Amy kept sleeping.
"Amy!" Amanda got a little louder.
"Mmmm... wha..?" Amy looked up from her bed, then flopped back down.
"Oh. Mm... ppphhh. Uh.... one moment. Oh, and happy birthday." Amy got up.
"Meet me in the living room." Amanda ran out of Amy's room.
She ran through the kitchen, past the back ment door, past the hallway, then into the dining room, and into the living room.
Amanda admired the what looked like millions of presents on the dining room table, sitting on the warnout poof resting on the couch.
Out of Amanda's huge pockets in her hoody, she grabbed an empty box of gum, a chewed off pencil eraser, a sticky gunk-covered sticker with the word: nerd on it that Amanda had won at school, and a pencil and a notebook labeled:
Nip and the Flew Shoulders
By: Amanda J. Jones
Amanda used the pencil and flipped to the page.
She remembered her mom walking in, saying: "dinner!" Amanda closed the book, and threw it in her pocket. That was like, a week ago.
Amanda flipped to the last page she was on.
Nip needed to train harder, but
'But my mom came in.' Amanda jokingly thought.
She kept writing.
But Nip was tired.
'This camp is crazy! If the people of Flew WANTED to not sleep, sure, let them! But if someone WANTED TO GET SLEEP, they should let at least SOME people rest!'
Nip was trying hard not to fall over and sleep right then and there.
"Amanda?"
Amanda was knocked out if her writers trance. She snapped out of her book.
"Huh? Oh! Good morning, Amy. Now, I made a plan for my birthday. One: we eat whatever spiecal breakfast you gave me this year." Amanda stood up and used the stick on the ground she got last night to point at the giant piece of paper she tapped to the wall last night, covered in her plan and silly little sketches of of people doing the things on the plan, too.
"Then, we open five of the presents you got me. Then we do something called; 'Appreciate'. It's where we all hang out in one room of the house and play with the presents, or whatever thing we got. Then, we open three more. Then we appreciate some more, then we do whatever I tell you guys to do. Then, we have lunch. Then, we do more of whatever I want to do. Then, we open al, the rest of the presents, then I watch netflix with you, Amy G. Jones." Amanda sat back down on the coach on her poof.
"Great plan!" Amy said.
"I'll wake up mom and dad. But while I do that, what do you wanna eat for lunch and dinner?" Amy ran off to get nom and dad.
'Let's order from pox, then at dinner we'll have calzones.' Amanda thought.
Then Amy ran back out.
"Mom and dad have to get dressed, then you are going to sit on the coach to eat. You can't eat breakfast in the dinning room in your birthday! I'll get the food ready." Amy rushed off.
Then mom and dad walked in.
"Happy birthday, Amanda!" They both said.
"Morning mom, dad!" Amanda looked up from her notebook she had started writing in again.
"The plan for the days over here." Amanda pointed at at the wall, and tapped on it was the plan.
"Great!" Amanda's dad said.
"Yeah!" Amanda's mom leaned over her dads shoulder.
"Now, I'll help Amy carry the breakfast."
"Amanda? You have to close your eyes!" Amanda's dad said.
"Ok!" Amanda closed her eyes, then when she felt something hot on her legs and when her mom said, "open em'!"
Amanda opened her eyes.
On her lap lay a huge muffin covered in M&M's and chocolate chips. It smelled like a proper muffin should smell, freshly baked, sweet, and cozy.
Her dad used a big butter knife and wiped a big glob of butter on the muffin.
"Happy birthday!" Everyone said.
"Thanks, you guys." Amanda took a huge, satisfying bite of her muffin, thinking that Nip deserved something this great, too.
Amanda shook her head and snapped herself out of her book-reality.
"This is great!" Amanda said, through a big mouthful.
Later, after everyone was done eating, Amanda opened presents.
First, she opened the smallest one. It had a pink bow and aqua-green striped wrapping.
Amanda tore the bow off and yanked the wrapping off. She got another notebook!
After a little while, Amanda opened five presents.
A notebook, a spiecal pack of pens and pencils, a cute gray cat stuffy, a blue winter hat with a darker blue pom pom at the top, and a little Squish cat play set, with the sparkle springs and all.
Amy was jealous of the last Squish cat play set.
Then, oh god did Amanda and everyone else appreciate the presents.
They partied.
Then, they all went on a drive up to shadow falls, the whole families favorite hiking spot. Amanda and her family hike a little way up the trail, then stop to climb on the falls.
"Time to go!" Amanda's dad said.
On the way home, they ordered from Pox, the ate at home.
As they got home, Amanda opened three more presents. A pillow, another notebook, and a cute cat plush.
Then, they played cards for hours, and Amanda and Amy watched; 'on the road' on Netflix, until everyone ate calzones, and luaghed and talked.
Then the opened the last present.
A sketch book.
Then everyone went to bed.
Amanda had had a good birthday.
Ps: all night she stole chocolate.
