The Portal to Dream World
“Ahh! So easy” I said. “Yes it is easy but it very lengthy and boring” my friend said.
“It sure is, or should I say was cause I just completed it” I replied. Wait I didn’t introduce myself did I?. I am Frank, Frank Humous. I am just an8th grade boy and I am giving my exam.
As our exams were over, we were returning home. It was our last exam and by the word ‘we’ I mean we were a group of 5 people, Me, Larry, Steve, Jack and Ella. We decided that we would meet at or tree house which was not exactly a tree house but there was place to sit, cookies and some juice. When we met there Ella was late, soon she came shouting, “Friends! Look what I found at my home”, she removed some kind of small metal box. She opened it and there were round looking things with ‘Red Buttons’ on each. “These are from my home so I’ll take 2 and you all take 1 each, ok?” said Ella. We all had to accept that deal or she would not give anything to us. I asked her whether her parents need it, but she had already asked her dad; her dad, he did not need it. As we took one each, Steve dropped his thing and it exploded, KABOOM! Everyone got scared, luckily no one got hurt. Ella scolded him like He dropped some living thing. Ella yelled and the top of her lungs “You dumb creature! Can’t you even keep a thing in your hand without dropping it?!” Steve apologised for his nonsense and asked for the second one that Ella had, Of course, she said no, but after many times of requesting, Ella got annoyed and gave it to him. We were talking and going to the park, but after a short time Larry pressed the red button on the round thing. IT went, ‘POOF!’ There was smoke everywhere, we weren’t able to see a thing. I squeaked’” What did you do Larry?”. A voice came from nearby “I don’t know, I just pressed the button on that thing”. ‘THUD’ I banged my head against a tree, after a while the smoke cleared, a bright light coming from a stone figure, I thought that it was an angel who came to pick us up. But actually it was just some stone in rectangular shape. But the odd thing was that it had a monitor and a keyboard. Jack said “Do you see what I see?” “Of course we do, we are at the same place stupid!” Ella said without leaving a chance to tease Jack. I said “Shut up you two. Look there is something on the monitor”. It read, ‘This is the Portal To The Dream world. Just type in the decryption of the world in which you want to go, [It must be accurate] then enter through the thing and you reach your destination. You can press the escape key to make I small again. CAUTION: Do not leave the figure open when you are not near it, if someone closes it from outside, YOU WILL BE STUCK INSIDE FOREVER. If anything happens to you inside your dream land, you will also be affected in the real world. For Example: If you lose your finger in the portal it will still be gone in real life. “That is awesome but also dangerous” I said. “Ya but the remedy to that is we can set the decryption that there will be no harm to us, everything peaceful. Hey its changing, on the monitor look ‘Only one can pass through the portal at the same time. But if you put the exact same decryption, you can all come to a same place at a same time’ isn’t it awesome guys?” asked Steve in excitement. “IT REALLY IS!” everyone squeaked at the same time. “Listen guys, I am going to tell you an important thing, WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS A SECRET, ok?” Jack said that in a leader’s attitude and voice and expected a cheerful and yes as an answer. But as always Ella said “We all know that already and you ain’t the leader and stop acting like it.” I said “But is it really working or just a joke?” “Tell me how can it be a joke if this huge thing came out of this small button” Steve answered/asked. “Yes that makes sense” I said. “So we’ll begin tomorrow. Bring everything you need. Like first aid, food, water, etc. Tomorrow sharp 10 A.M. if you don’t come, we’ll leave you behind” Steve said spookily.[pointing at Jack] “Ok fine” we all agreed. We live at the same street. I went to my home, they went to theirs. The sun was going down, it was a usual boring evening. I ate my dinner, my parents were going out the next day so I was clear to go THERE. You know what I am talking about right? I was worried about others whether they will come or not. I knew my friends very well they would come on time, but Jack comes late, so I kept this time so early we can head out from 10:30. I wasn’t able to sleep at that night very well. I decided that I’ll write a story on this adventure and went to sleep. Next day my parents left and 7 in the morning and then I began to prepare my bag I took a book and a pen to write the points for my story in different worlds. I went there at 10 everyone was there, but not Jack, I told them that I knew this was gonna happen so I called you this early. They agreed that Jack always came late. So I started a conversation amongst us that how was our day after we went back home from yesterday’s decision. Everyone found this topic interesting and started talking. We kept talking and laughing and didn’t realize that it was already 10:30. Then Larry said “Ah! look who is here!” pointing towards Jack in a distance. “Sorry guys *huff* *huff* I am late” Jack said. I thought Ella would start troubling Jack again, but she was silent this time. I didn’t ask her but I assume that didn’t want to disrupt the peace among us or create a bad mood for all of us. So I said to go to his world first. No one agreed. We started the World War 3 quarrelling whose world we will go in first. Ella said “I am a girl. Ladies first”. We squeaked “NO!” Steve said sarcastically, “There should be equality among all”. I stopped them and we decided that we will decide by the method of rock paper and scissor. I actually won. They agreed this time. I laughed at em’ and told where I wanted to go. I wrote his decryption, The world must be normal like the real world but we can do anything we want like grow trees from roads or fly. That was ok to us all. We were jumping off excitement. So we began opening our portals and typing our decryption which matched to that of mine.
