One Day Over

"Do you think you were right?" said Dart.

"Maybe," said Laura.

"Do you think it really leads to a forest called Hello?" Dart said.

"Maybe," Laura said.

"Do you think it might lead to a volcano that's deadly?" Dart said.

"Maybe," Laura said.

"Do you think it will lead to a tunnel that leads to a big ocean?" said Dart.

"Maybe," Laura said.

"Will you stop saying 'maybe'?" said Dart.

"Maybe," Laura said.

"I think it does lead to a forest called Hello," Laura grinned.

"How do you know?" Dart groaned.

"Because, look up there." Laura was right because up on two trees there was a banner that said, "Welcome to Hello."

"I guess you were right," Dart said.

"Let's go in," Laura whispered.

"Come back here," Dart yelled.

"Oh, or do you?" Laura giggled.

"We don't know who is in there," Dart yelled back.

"They might be friendly," Laura said.

"Oh brother," Dart said as Laura ran into the forest called Hello. "You don't even know what you're doing! Whoever lives there might not want you going in!"

"Come on," Laura said.

"You are reminding me of my favorite character in my favorite chapter book series," Dart said.

"Please," said Laura.

"No," said Dart.

"Pretty please," said Laura.

"No," Dart said.

"Please please pretty please," Laura said.

"No," Dart groaned.

"Please please please please pretty please," Laura yelled.

"No way," Dart said.

"Come on," said Laura. "There are bright lights!"

"Well, I do love bright lights," Dart said. "Hold on, I'm coming in." Dart grinned.

"The sun is going down," Dart said as the two friends stepped into the forest. The sun glimmered but then Dart gulped as the sun dropped down into the horizon. They were in pitch black.

"The lights went out!" whispered Laura.

"The day's over," Dart said, peering over the dark sky.

"I think someone's coming out of that little cottage!" Laura said, scared.

"I'm scared with you!" Dart whispered.

"Be quiet!" Laura whispered.

Duh duh DUH...
