Creative Writing

  Your friend made an invisibility potion. You and your friend will drink it tommorow. What are you going to do?
  It was a sunny day. Amy and her brother Luke were sent to their uncle, Bob's house during the vacation. After few days, since Bob went out for his work, Amy and Luke got bored and decided to play hide and seek.
   "10, 9, 8, ... , 2, 1! Where are you Luke?", shouted Amy. While Amy was counting the numbers, Luke went to a basement to hide. Since he was so young that he couldn't read the sign, he ran to the door that said 'DANGER'. He just got into the room and said, "Is anyone there?... Wow!", Luke was so surprised to see the room. It was a library filled with tons of magical books and ingredients for potions. He just rushed to Amy and told her about the library. Although Amy was extremely curious about the room, she couldn't go inside because she heard her uncle coming.
   On the next day, when uncle Bob was gone for work and Luke was out for the camp, Amy invited Kate over for the sleepover. After few hours they've gotten nothing to play with anymore. Amy suggested Kate to go to the basement. In the library inside the basement, just like Luke said there were tons of magical books and ingredients for potions. Then one book grabbed their attention. 'THE INVISIBILITY'.
   "Wow, invisibility!", shouted Amy. "Let's read it!", said Kate. But Amy replied,"But if Bob knows about this, he'll be really mad at us!!", "It's okay. After we read this book very quickly we can put it back where exactly it was.", Kate said and persuaded Amy. They opened the first page and found the WARNING. But since they were too curious, they didn't carefully read it. On the next page, there was a poem says

"Mix Mix Mix in the boiled water. 
Mix the frog toe.
Mix the butterfly wings.
Mix the ants antenna.
Mix the mosquito's eyeball."

   "Wow, it's so cool!", "It's incredible!", they said. They decided to make an invisibility potion. Although the ingredients were all weird, they didn't have to worry about them because they were all in the library. They boiled the water in a huge pot and put frog toe, butterfly wings, ants antenna, mosquito's eyeball. They boiled them all together for 30 minutes as the book said.
   "Should we drink it?", said Amy. "It looks fine. Let's try.", replied Kate. After they made a potion, they drank it together. BOOM!! They couldn't see each other but slowly their bodies showed up. Amy said, "I guess the potion works for just few minutes. And Kate agreed, "Yeah, it's flat." The second day in the uncle Bob's house ended like this, normally.
   The third day began. Kate slept over in Amy's room. Amy woke up and went to the bathroom. She couldn't see herself in the mirror. She shrieked, "Aaaaargh!!!!!!". Then, Kate woke up and found herself invisible. However, fortunately, they could see each other. "It's amazing!", cried Amy. "Oh my god!", cried Kate. Soon, they accepted the situation and decided to do whatever they wanted to. They wrote a list of things.

 1. get commic books from the book store.
 2. get canddies from the candy shop
 3. get clothes from the department store.

   Amy and Kate went out to do things on the list. They went to the bookstore and candy shop. Finally, they went to the department store to get clothes. Amy was shocked at the sight in front of her. It was her mom selling clothes! However, since Kate didn't realize, she dragged Amy to the clothes. In Amy's mind, spirit of an angel and spirit of an evil were clashing. Finally, Amy talked to Kate in a strong voice, "I now realize that we were wrong. This is not what we should do. I'm regreting so much.". Kate replied, "I agree, we should stop being so mean." In order to be forgiven, they decided to become visible again, and to be kind and good. "But how can we be visible again?", asked Kate. "The only way to be visible again is to ask Bob for a help."      
   They went to the basement. There was Bob, but not noraml Bob. He was different. His eyes were hazy and he was even growling at Amy and Kate. "Oh my god!! What happened to Bob?", shouted Amy. In a mad voice, Bob said, "Why are you guys here?" Amy and Kate became surprised that Bob can see them. Bob had a SPIRIT OF EVIL! A spirit of evil enabled Bob to see Amy and Kate although they were invisible. Looking through Bob's eyes, Amy could find out that Bob wanted to be normal. So Amy suggested, "Bob, we can help you." Although Bob was still growling, Amy could feel that Bob wants their help. Amy took out the book called SPIRIT OF EVIL and found the method to take the evil spirit out of Bob. Quickly, Amy and Kate made a potion and let Bob drink it. Few seconds later, Bob became normal! Normal Bob returned Amy and Kate visible.
   Bob became generous than ever. He allowed Amy and Kate to use his library whenever they want to. Although Amy and Luke, who just came back from camp, left uncle Bob's house when the vacation was over, uncle Bob's house became a FANTASTIC place for Amy, Luke and Kate forever.
