'The date change' (story by Marta R., Maria B., Michelle, Raquel and Judit S., winners from 2n ESO A)
Once upon a time, in California, one day
before Halloween, there was a group of friends who were preparing a surprise
party for Stephanie, one of the friends. The girls were to sleep over in
Stephanie's house. At night, Stephanie turned the TV on and saw that they were
talking about Christmas, but they didn't care and Teddy turned off the
TV.
The next morning, they woke up and went
looking for Halloween costumes which had become Christmas costumes. The girls
got scared and went to the dining room and saw that all the Halloween
decoration had become Christmas decoration.
Then went to Rosie's home, that was the
closest home, and they found Andrew, Rosie's uncle in the basement. Andrew was
reading a very old book.
Kate then asked: -' what's this?'
'It's a magic book, but it doesn't
matter, I know why you came...something evil is happening, you have to go to
the North Pole and fix what's happening...'
Andrew gave a magic watch to Stephanie
and told her: 'When you want to come back, press this button'.
Then a very old door opened and sounded. From there, cold came out and the
girls decided to go to see what was it. Rachel was the first to enter. Then all
eyes closed and when opened they were in the North Pole.
They didn't know why they were there; they met some elves, and followed them to
the gifts factory of Santa Claus, but they saw Santa Claus was wearing a black
suit. Then the girls investigated him. He was really evil with elves and made
very bad gifts. They went to Santa's house, where they found a very suspicious
truck.
Taylor went to investigate the truck and touched a button. Suddenly, a door
leading to a cave, opened and there were all the characters of Halloween and
Christmas locked. The frightened girls didn't know what to do, but Taylor and
Teddy thought of a plan. When they were going to come out, Anthony locked
them.
Rosie remembered her uncle going back
home and then all the girls held hands, Rosie pressed the button and they
disappeared. When they opened their eyes, they were next to Andrew, who was
asking them what had happened. They all explained what happened. Andrew became
angry but opened the magic door and they entered. They devised a magnificent
plan: Andrew would go to stop Anthony and the girls would have to free the
imprisoned characters.
When the girls released all the characters and went to find Andrew, they came
into a room, in which there was a very rare statue and a man on the ground.
Rosie ran to the man on the ground as she recognized that he was his uncle
Andrew.
When he opened his eyes and saw his favourite niece crying, he asked her:
'What's wrong?'
Then, she hugged him.
Rosie asked him what happened and he explained that he casted a spell on
Anthony, Santa's evil twin brother, who froze in the middle of the room.
Santa Claus thanked them much what they had done. Also the King of Halloween
thanked the girls and casted a spell that sent the girls and Andrew a day
before in the past and erased their memory to make them think that it was only
a dream.
When they woke up they all felt very strange, but nothing was changed: the
decoration or the costumes. And the six friends had the best Halloween of all
their lives!
