Here is her fabulous story!-
Choc Chip Cookies
It was summer in Garden Party, and the trees were slowly swaying from side to side, which wafted a pleasant scent to my nose. I stretched out of my yellow bean bag and put on my favourite clothes. Then, I sprinted out of my tree house toward my garden. I saw my favourite patch of blue star flowers and smiled, then ran out of the garden into Timber Town. Looking around my impatient nose sniffed and searched for the delicious scent that had aroused me earlier. I could smell it clearly now… Freshly baked cookies. I stumbled after the sweet, chocolaty aroma, and found myself in the Buzz Market. The sweet smell of freshly baked cookies was fading, so I ran to find my good friend, Lotus. I arrived at her tree house to find her sitting on the floor next to her stove.
‘Uh… Lotus?’ I muttered, walking over to her and sitting down on the cool, rosewood floor.
‘Uh huh?’ she mumbled, and looked at me with tears welling up in her eyes.
‘What’s wrong?’ I asked, my expression become quizzical and confused.
‘I baked cookies…’ She replied, her voice breaking on the last syllable.
‘And?’ I asked, still confused.
‘And I have too many! I can’t get a tummy ache AGAIN! The Garden Party World doctor told me its bad for my system to eat too many… but they are so mouth-watering and delicious… what with their crunchy, crispy baked dough, and the slightly melted chocolate chips… it makes me wanna-’
Lotus stared in wonder and awe at my now drooling mouth.
‘Do.. you want my coo-’ Lotus started, but I impatiently interrupted. My nose was taking over.
‘YES! OF COURSE! ANYTHING FOR A FRIEND!’ I shouted, throwing my hands up in the air with an overprotective look on my face. Of course, I was now very protective of my cookies. I picked them up, hugged Lotus then ran off, laughing and skipping all the while staying completely unaware of the silliness of running with a plate of cookies. When I reached my garden, I sat down and reached down to pick up a cookie. I gasped in horror.
‘NOOO!’ I yelled, my voice echoing across the tree tops.
I had dropped my cookies all the way here! I raced back, and found people dressed in duck suits EATING MY COOKIES! Tears welled up in my eyes and began to stream down my cheeks.
‘SURPRISE!’ The duck people yelled.
‘ARRRGGGGHHH!’ I screamed, then realized it was my friends… ALL OF MY FRIENDS!
They bought cookies and juice, tea and coffee from EVERY DIRECTION! Lotus smiled at me, and ran to give me a hug.
‘Happy Birthday Alanniee,’ she whispered into my ear, then ran to join the others, and I followed her, happy that my impatience was finally holding up, as I nibbled on some cookies. One of the best days of my life, was a day in Garden Party World.
