Timeout

Chapter 1

      "Come on, guys! We're gonna be late! It only happens at 3 till 3:05!"

 The young boy wearing overalls pulled the rest of his friends behind him. He brought them to the main street of their little town. A tall man wearing an even taller hat was setting up a stand on the sidewalk. Tom, the boy with the overalls, dragged his friends over. His eyes lit up.

 "Hello, young sir. It's not quite 3, yet, so you must be patient."

 Tom nodded and started shaking. He hugged his friend, Edd, and smiled widely. The 3 other boys looked confused. Tom's jaw dropped.

 "YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS?!? IT'S A MYSTERIOUS MAGICIAN!!!! I WANNA BE A MAGICIAN WHEN I'M OLDER!"

 The 'mysterious magician' chuckled and checked his watch. 3 exactly. He began performing the usual care tricks, but then he asked Tom if he would like to be his assistant which Tom excitedly agreed to. The magician made Tom 'levitate' which Tom found very impressive. Once 3:05 hit the magician packed up his stand and disappeared into the air. The 4 boys stared in awe. As the 4 walked home Tom did all the talking.

 "HE MADE ME LEVITATE! THAT'S SO COOL! SO SO COOL! YOU GUYS ARE SO JEALOUS, AREN'T YOU? WE SHOULD HAVE A SLEEPOVER! YEAH! YEAH! GOOD IDEA!!!!"

The other 3 nodded and they all walked to Tom's house. His mom had made them all cookies, which was Tom's favorite. They all went into Tom's room with a tray of homemade chocolate chip cookies. Tord, Matt, Edd, and Tom all sat on the bed listening to Tom talk about how much he loves magic. He then proceeded to make a cookie 'disappear ' by eating it.

 "So, enough from me! What do you guys want to do when you're older!"

 "Animator..."

 " Makeup artist and hairdresser. "

 "I don't know."

 They all looked at Tord and Tom burst out laughing as he shoved another cookie into his mouth. As he swallowed the delicious cookie he thought for a moment.

 "I can help you pick a career path! We may only be 6 almost 7, but we can have dreams!"

Tord nodded and smiled a bit. Tom was the most energetic out of the boys. Edd was a bit awkward. Matt loved everything about himself. Tord didn't really have a personality that stuck out like the other 3 did. He just had to find himself. He was the most unorganized out of the group, tho, but then again what do you expect from a 6 year old? When nighttime came the 4 cuddled up under a few blankets and told ghost stories. Most of Tom's involved a magician getting rid of the ghost because 'magicians were the greatest type of people in the world .' Soon enough Matt fell asleep, then Edd, then Tom, then Tord. The 4 each had a very different dream. Tom's was about performing magic in front of millions as they cheered and chanted his name. Edd dreamed off animating a multi award winning movie. Matt dreamed of being a world famous hairdresser and makeup artist for the stars. Tord's dream was just him and Tom stargazing. How mysterious.
