Happy Birthday Grandma!

Here's a little story I wrote for you, Grandma, and by the way, Happy Birthday!

Once upon a time, in the forbidden land of Placentia (just kidding), there lived two brothers and a sister.  On a day in late November, it just happened to be their grandma's birthday.  They were walking to their grandma's birthday party, looking for a gift in the shops along the road.  They saw an old abandoned house on the street with mysterious boxes inside.  Voices were whispering words inside the house, but the children couldn't see where.  So, they went inside to look around. Little did they know, the house was full of surprises.  Oh, by the way, the kids' names were Sam, Evan, and Annie.

Sam said, "We can't take too long because we still have to get to grandma's birthday party."  With caution, they peered around corners and up into the attic for anything interesting.

Evan, who loved raccoonees, found a little wee bit of raccoon fur.  He picked it up and put it in his pocket.  He began to feel funny and noticed that his hands were changing; they started to grow fur.  Then, he felt his face and his furry mask.  He was a raccoonee! He found out he could change back into Evan if Annie beeped his nose.  Evan became Super Coon!

Annie, who wished she had mad ninja skills, found a karate dummy.  It was just her size.  And, when she decided to give it a couple kicks (flying ninja kicks), she found she was pretty good!  So, she tried doing punches, kicks, headbutts...she found out she had mad ninja skills.  A dream come true!!!!  (but not a dream come true for Mr. Karate Dummy)  She found a purple ninja costume behind the dummy and put it on--it was just her size.  Annie became Purple Flying Ninja Girl.  But, she would lose her mad ninja skills if Sam gave her a rug burn (which used to be called an Indian Burn when their mom was little).

This brings us to Sam.  He found some stairs and decided to go up them because he had found nothing of his interest downstairs.  Some of the steps would creak and he thought there would be something very scary at the top.  But, the top floor was just filled with crates and crates of Legos, which were Sam's favorite!  He decided that he wanted to build a little creation because Evan (a.k.a. Super Coon) and Annie (a.k.a Purple Flying Ninja Girl) were having fun downstairs and there was still time until the party.  When he touched the Lego that he needed, he found that it was gold.  He put the Lego in his pocket and went downstairs (because he had seen what had happened to his siblings and didn't want to turn into a Lego brick).

While plain old Sam was upstairs, three bad men (who were hiding in a closet) came out and captured Purple Flying Ninja Girl and Super Coon.  When Sam came downstairs, he gasped at the sight of them tying up his brother and sister.  He threw his Lego brick at them, hoping to distract them so that Super Coon and Purple Flying Ninja Girl (she really needs to get a shorter name!) could escape.  He was thinking about capturing the bad guys, and when he threw the brick, he realized that many many more bricks came flying out of what he thought was his empty pocket.  They landed in a pile at the bad guys' feet.  He thought about building a cage around them.  The bad guys were amazed at what they had seen moments ago by an 8-year-old boy when he had thrown all the bricks.  It put them in a daze.  In an instant, Sam sped over to the bricks (he didn't know he could move so fast!) and built the cage (he didn't know he could build so fast either!) around the bad guys.  As he finished the roof, he realized that THIS was his super power.  He had extra-speedy reflexes and everlasting bricks!  (Little did he know that he had one more power, about to be discovered)

When Sam heard the bad guys come out of their dazed condition and start muttering words he couldn't understand, he thought about running because he was worried they would break the Legos and get out.  But, they cried in pain when they hit the Legos, and the Legos didn't break.  He found out his third power:  Very STRONG everlasting bricks.  He had become...Captain (because he was the oldest) Speedy Lego Mastermind (oh great, another long name!).  Sam could use his superpowers whenever he wanted, as long as he had a Lego brick in his pocket.

The three Super Siblings looked at the dazed men in the cage.  Captain Speedy Lego Mastermind noticed that one of the bad guys had a badge on his vest that said "The Most Evilist League of the World" with their symbol on it.  Captain Speedy Lego Mastermind, Super Coon, and Purple Flying Ninja Girl whispered a plan which the bad guys just happened to hear.  The Super Siblings returned to the cage only to find that the bad guys had duggen a hole in the ground back to their base.

The Super siblings had a dilemma:  Chase the bad guys or go to their grandma's party?  Because they loved their grandmother, they decided the bad guys could wait but Grandma's party happened only once a year.  They walked along toward the party and remembered that they still needed a present!  So, they went into an alley to make a quick and easy present where no one could see them.  Sam made their grandma a sewing machine because she liked to sew.  Evan clipped off some of his fur and made a blanket out of it. Annie beeped Evan's nose and Sam gave Annie a "rug burn" and then hid his last Lego brick in his pocket.  They wrapped the presents and went to the party and had a wonderful time as normal kids.

After the party, Annie treated them all to frozen yogurt because everyone knows that ninjas get free frozen yogurt at Yogurt Land (if they have the best moves, which she has, even if she looks just like normal Annie).
As they finished their yogurt, they saw an airplane pass by with the Most Evilist Villian League of the World symbol on it.  So...Evan became a raccoon, Annie got her ninja skills ready, and Sam built a jet with his Lego brick.  Super Coon, Purple Flying Ninja Girl, and Captain Speedy Lego Mastermind flew away into the sunset to go destroy the Evilist Villian League and bring peace to the world...or at least their city.

Until next time...THE END
