I was only 10 when this happened. It was three years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
Anyway, I was just sitting under the maple tree reading my favourite book, that I actually wrote.
I was up to the good bit, where Lollipop slurps up jelly from the Rainbow Jelly Cup and becomes Jellypop, who is immune to the Warheads.
The Warheads are like little dogs, but they explode in your face and leave you with a mouthful of Warheads.
That's when it all started.
I noticed a small hole in the middle of the book. I told myself it was nothing and tried to go back to reading, but I couldn't focus and kept looking at the hole.
Then it started to grow.
The more it grew, the faster it got.
I wanted to drop the book and run back home, but it was like I was glued to the book.
The hole had turned into a sort of shadow. It consumed the whole book.
Then it went for my hands.
I was frozen. I just sat there with my mouth gaping like a fish as the shadow climbed up my arms.
When it had finished my arms it started on my neck. Then it went on my face. I tried to scream but it had finished my mouth.
The last thing I saw was the maple tree before the world plunged into a pool of darkness.
I awoke in a dark room, full of the smell of rocky road.
I could see about a quarter of the things around me. There were round smooth things to star shaped spiky things.
Suddenly I tripped and knocked myself out.
I woke up again, but this time I could see properly. I was in a large, white, smooth cylinder. I was also in some sort of liquid, all rainbow colours.
This was crazy! It was all just like in my book! First Lollipop was in the strange room, then she got knocked out and taken to the Rainbow Jelly Cup.
And suddenly the answer became clear....
I WAS IN THE BOOK!!!
And that meant that I was Lollipop.
That meant that if I ate some of that jelly, I could become Jellypop!
I decided that I would give it a try. I lapped up some of the brown jelly. It tasted like chocolate.
Suddenly I felt weird. A shifting feeling, in my stomach. Then with a POP I turned into Jellypop.
I ran over to a wall and started to climb. I got up to the top but then I remembered that this was the part where Jellypop gets through the Warheads
I decided to get it over and done with. So I jumped. Down, down, down...
SMASH!
A pink warhead exploded me back into the cup.
After about fifty million tries, I finally got out because all the Warheads had exploded.
Then I went to Klouds 'R' Us to get a cloud to ride on
When I got my cloud, I got hungry. So I went and bought some bacon and eggs.
My cloud had a frying pan, so I cooked my bacon and eggs. Mmm, they were yummy. Finally, I set off on my cloud to get out of this book. I looked up and noticed that there were WORDS in the sky. Yes, so I floated up and flew through the pages. I was free!
My cloud disappeared and I turned normal again, but I didn't care. I was out! I was free!
I ran back to the house and into my room.
The only books I had were by me. The only thing we can afford is pens, staples and paper. So I just write books when I'm not watching tv.
"Lizzy!" called Mum. "Come here!"
So I got out of my room and over to my mother.
"Do you know what this IS?" she asked
"No" I say. "You haven't shown me yet."
She held up my CLOUD
"It's my cloud!" I yell. "From my adventure in my book! I bought it and ate bacon and eggs..."
"Yes, yes, that sounds lovely dear" said Mum, who was listening to the radio.
Nobody believes me. They think a 13 year old like me tells big, fat lies.
But you believe me, don't you?
THE END
