Untitled Story

On a summer night in July, I was sleeping peacefully in my bed. I live in a fairly large tan house with my parents and my little brother.My parents were on a vacation in Florida. My grandma was home with my brother and I because at the time I was only 6 years old, and my brother was 2. It was about 11:00 and I was almost asleep when suddenly I heard the door slam. It was my job to lock it and I forgot! I knew it was not my grandma because it is like she is dead when she is sleeping. She does not wake up to anything! It surely was not my parents because they didn’t call.

Even at six years old, I knew there was someone in my house, so I went Scooby doo style and decided that I had a mystery to solve. In order to do the same as the Scooby doo gang, I needed a mystery machine. So I took a refrigerator box and made a mystery machine out of it.

After that, I had to look for clues. I didn’t find any clues upstairs, so I had to go downstairs where the robber was. I got in my mystery machine and rode down the stairs with it.

That’s when I saw the robber and knew he was up to no good! I said, “Freeze you old man or else I will shoot you with my nana!”

The robber looked at how little I was and knew that I was not strong enough to hurt him. “What is a nana?” he asked me with a sly grin on his face. “A nana.. You don’t know what a nana is?” I asked.

“Ohh! you must mean a banana!” chuckled the robber. Then he went back to stealing things. He tried to steal my mom’s wedding ring which was worth a lot of money. I said, “Oh no sucker, you are not stealing that or anything else in this house!”

I couldn’t let him get away with it and I was too small to beat him up. So instead I bit the robber in the leg. The robber screamed so loud it made all of the dogs in the neighborhood start barking.

He whispered, “Where is the money?”I said, “I don’t know.. My parents probably have it.”“ Where are your parents?” asked the robber.“They are on vacation in Florida, but my grandma has ninja like reflexes and trust me you don’t want to mess with her!” I said.The robber just laughed and walked away. I was getting fed up with the robber so I only had one choice, and that was to punch him where the sun don’t shine. My grandma heard the robber shout, but she thought it was in her dream, so she went back asleep. The robber finally shook me off of his leg and kicked me in the stomach (not hard). I tumbled on the ground and squealed in pain.

The robber’s boots were muddy because it had rained earlier that day. As the robber was going up stairs, he was leaving foot prints on the white carpet.

Once I saw the robber’s footprints I whispered to myself, “Evidence.” I’m going to follow these footprints! The footprints led me to the window upstairs in my brother’s room.

The robber jumped out of the window and landed on the ground near the swing set outside. He started swinging on the swing set. I asked him, “Why are you swinging?” The robber said, “I don’t know it just seems like a nice night to swing.”Then I asked him,”Shouldn’t you be running away from me right now?” He said, “Yeah but I don’t feel like it and besides, you can’t do anything to me because you are only 6 and I am 46 years old.”

I said, “ So, I can still beat you up! “ The robber just stared at me. “Well what are we going to do?” I asked. “OHH! I know what we can do! We could push each other on the swing!” said the robber. “So are you a nice guy or a mean guy?” I asked. “Hhhh,” sighed the robber. “ I am a nice guy,” he added. “Then why were you just trying to steal from me?” “I don’t know.. I just got bred,” said the robber. “Want to be friends?” asked the robber. “Umm… Sure!” I said. After that we were friends forever. Well, since that day.
