Shark Bait

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl named Sarah. Sarah had two brothers who had names as well. Their names were Jordan and Ben. One dark and ghastly night these three siblings were suffering from a severe case of boredom. What shall we do tonight? They all wondered.
Suddenly an obese light bulb popped upon Sarah’s head (for she was the wittiest of them all). “Aha!” she cried. “Boys, follow me to the closet” Sarah instructed. After dressing into Jordan’s snazzy thrift store suits they scampered off to Sarah’s car. With the soundtrack to National Treasure blaring inside the car the three siblings sped off to the Ferrin’s house where their friend, Cyrena was.
After Sarah's car slithered to a halt the three siblings sneakily hid themselves behind a parked truck. “Okay Ben, you know what to do.” Sarah whispered as she pulled out some duct tape from her coat pocket. Ben causally strolled up to the door. (Knock-knock…) After a few minutes he was leading Cyrena outside towards the other two hidden siblings.
Then as quick as a flash Jordan grabbed the squawking girl and held her tight while Sarah placed sun glasses on her face, slapped duct tape on her mouth, and duct-taped her hands behind her back. Jordan shoved the kidnapped damsel into the car and off they went!
The poor girl made indescribable noises throughout the drive. The kidnappers then and there decided that her name would be Shark Bait. Don’t ask me why. It just seemed appropriate at the time. After a while the noise became so unbearable that the car came to a halt. Sarah snatched the left over duct tape while Jordan pulled Shark Bait out of the car. “Uh, how ‘bout that tree?” Ben asked. The others (minus Shark Bait) agreed. They hauled the screaming gal over to a tree, stood her up against it, then strategically duct-taped her to it. What a beautiful sight it was!
Since the siblings had disposed of their friend they hopped back into the car and drove off. But, as they were driving away Sarah noticed in her rear-view mirror that Batman had jumped a fence and was saving Shark Bait! “Drats!” Sarah muttered as she quickly turned the car around. But alas, by the time the siblings made it back to the tree the only remnants of Shark Bait was some strips of red duct tape.
The next day Cyrena went to the three sibling’s house to visit. Life switched back to what you would call, normal. Cyrena got her real name back and I even think that she and the three siblings did something ordinary like watch a movie with popcorn.
You can tell who your real friends are by those who are willing to play along with you. I just want you know that Cyrena really wasn’t terrified (well, maybe she was at first) and we weren’t too rough with her. In our circle of friends we expect silly events to be imposed upon us at random moments. It makes life a whole lot more thrilling.

THE END
