The Best Unfortunate Events

The Best Unfortunate Events

One day my brother London and I were very bored. We decided to go to our best friend’s house. Their names were Christian, who was my friend, and Mario, London’s friend. They were brother and sister and always knew how to have fun! We loved playing with them and getting into trouble together.

We hung out at their house for a couple of hours. Their house was right above mine on a hill. If I looked out my bedroom window, I could see their house. Their house wasn't very clean and there were roly polys on the living room floor. London and Mario wrestled each other while Christian and I played frogger on the computer downstairs. We ate pickles; it was one of our favorite snacks. They were the good kind that were big and juicy, with not too much but just enough sour. We went to the park and Mario peed on the metal jungle gym. We didn't really care though because it was already rusty and my favorite thing was and still is the swing set. Christian was the tallest, so she gave me underdogs on the swings. Afterwards, we climbed trees as high as we could and got our hands all sticky with sap.

            When we got bored with that, we thought it would be a good idea to visit the horse stable that was down the road. We wanted to pet them but we were too scared to go through the fence. We finally dared Mario, who was the most daring person I’ve met to open the gate. He did and we all started running as fast as we could! We wanted to escape the stampede.

When we thought we ran far enough we slowed down and laughed our heads off. By then it was dark, and bats were out. London told us if they fly low enough they can get caught in your hair, because they can’t see very well. At that we all started running hysterically. Christian and I kept waving our hands over our heads to make sure no bats were close.

We outran the bats and ended up back at my friend’s house. All of a sudden it started pouring down rain. We didn’t feel like going back home or inside so we just decided to keep hanging out. We stayed out past our bedtime riding our scooters and playing ball. We were enjoying each other’s company so much, we didn’t want to leave. My brother and I ended up staying the night with them and having a blast! Even though a lot of crazy things happened who most would say are unfortunate, I had the best time!
