The Risk of the Flaming Lava Monster: Floor is Lava Challenge, Lucas Zhang [if you give a mouse a cookie read aloud TXT] 📗

I rushed out the door and raced toward the mailbox. “I win!” I shouted happily.

                We were doing a race to the mailbox. For some strange reason, we loved to check the mail. But not this time. As we opened one of the letters, I noticed something strange. “It’s from the black witch,” I said.

                “Dear Ravenclaw,

                I’m the black evil witch and I have returned to capture Adam, my such good servant from running away. The controlling medicine is almost wearing off so come over so I can do a challenge. Meet my monster of lava! Get past it and you shall be free, Adam!

                Sincerely,

                The Black Evil Witch,” I said.

                “Dude, I’m not doing THAT!” yelled George.

                “Yes, you are. In fact, everyone is, right?” said my sister, Nina Zhang, one of the leaders of ravenlaw.

                “YES!” we all replied, including George.

                About an hour later, we arrived. I kept on reading the letter quickly over again. Why? Because I was a little worried about my fellow ravenclaws. What if they don’t make it? They’re not good jumpers! I was afraid they might never return again! Our life will be gone! Okay, okay. Am I being a little too serious? OF, COURSE, WE’LL MAKE IT!!!!!!!! I’m just a little nervous, even though I’m the risk taker of the group. When we got there, it was boiling, steaming, flaming, hot. We almost sweated to DEATH!   That was the moment when we heard a wicked laugh.

We all looked up. The witch was dressed in purple and black, evil colors. “Nina, you first,” she said.

                Nina stepped on the first wooden plank, which creaked as she stepped on it. The next step is the trampolines. Nina jumped as high as she can and pressed a button on her right wrist. A jetpack appeared out of nowhere. She typically hacked toward the monkey bars. After climbing over, it lead to a thin stick with balls rolling across it. Nina had to avoid the balls and at the same time, balance on the thin line. She jumped and hopped across the obstacle easily. The next one was the trickiest. There were 17 diamond planks and 27 gold planks. There were only 5 planks that are not filled with traps. The five safe ones can be diamond or gold. Hard choice, I thought when Nina jumped to the second plank. She, was SO FAR, safe. Next, there was a slide and if you slide on it you’ll fall right into a pot of steaming lava-tar.

                “I don’t think I’m going to make it,” said Nina.

                “Yes, you will,” I said.

                “Maybe,”

                She jumped over the longest slide in the world and landed on an iron brick. There were tricking bricks and if you jump onto one, then the brick will fall and so do you. Do you expect you to float in midair after it falls?!!

                Nina jumped and hopped and finally ran across it without getting trapped. There were two finish lines, I saw. One of them was a tricking finish lines. It makes you fall backwards into the lava back-first! She hacked and went to the right finish line. She appeared into the “winners” box. Not to mention, all the five leaders could hack.

                “Yes!” screamed Nina proudly.

“Bad job, bad job, Lucas, you next,” said the witch.

                I gulped. I carefully stepped onto the wooden plank and bounced on the trampoline. “Whoooo hoooooo!” I yelled cheerfully, (for some strange reason.)

                I did a front flip in midair and hacked toward the monkey bars. After climbing it, (I almost fell into the lava) I landed on the line of balls and didn’t even bounce. I reached in my pocket and brought out sunglasses and put them on. I did the dab and cool music came through Adam’s radio.

                The balls hit me in the stomach. Actually, it went right THROUGH me. OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I scurried pass the line of balls and realized I had ran across the 17 diamond planks and the 27 gold planks. “Dude, that was a relief,” I whispered to myself.

                I jumped over the longest slide in the world and found myself at the bricks. I quickly hopped on the right ones and in a flash of lightning, I jumped toward the right finish line without thinking. I, too, was in the winners box.

“All the rest of you go together,” said the evil, wicked witch.

                “Let’s goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!” said Geor-ary.

                “Bruhhhhh,” said Adam.

                The all past all of the obstacles and stopped at the line of balls. Everyone was talking except for Adam, Avery, Michael, Annie, and Kalie. !@#$$%^&*()_!@#$%^&*()_@#$%^&*()$%^&*( they were talking like that) “Hey, dash-dollar percent comma at sign greater than, less than, astrick, hashtag, and, exclamation mark, question mark, period line and stuff!” yelled Gary. Suddenly, all the people that were talking couldn’t take balance anymore and fell head-first at the same time. (And by the way, Ravenclaw, Lucas is making the ideas so don’t blame me if the ideas are weird.) They were talking on the epic journey down to Lava national Park, and they finally died. The witch fainted by the sight of that and the people that weren’t talking past all the obstacles and killed the witch while she fainted.

                Adam started floating in midair and lightning appeared around him. “He’s healing from the controlling medicine!” I shouted.

                And all of a sudden, we were all happy to have Adam back to Ravenclaw.

                                                                The End
