5 FLIKR STORY X

It was a dark cold morning and there was nothing moving, but all of a sudden, alarms go off in almost every house in my road.  It was a Monday morning and everyone was getting ready for work and school.  My mum woke me up and told me to get ready, so I did because I didn't want to get in her bad books; she is not very nice in the mornings.  When I came downstairs for my breakfast, I was talking to my mum and she asked me what my friend and I wanted for tea before we go out 'trick or treating', as it was Halloween, and she suggested pizza, pasta or curry but, knowing me and my friend, we will have pasta.  My mum was telling me about what she was doing today because she had the day off.  She told me she would go to the shops to get sweets for the children and also, to get a pumpkin for me and my friend, Samantha, to carve when we get home from school.  Also, as my birthday is coming up, my mum was asking me what I wanted and I said an animal that you may not like but which I find fascinating......a lizard.  My mother paused and then said "well, erm.....it's not the nicest animal" and you can't really play with it but, she would have a look for them in "Pets at Home".  Then my mum got the laptop out and started looking online for concert tickets when she came across some Tinie Tempah tickets; she knows how much I love him - he is amazing!  She also saw a competition to win a chance to meet him in person which she couldn't pass up.  He is an inspiring artist and a great role model which is why my mum likes him as well.  Later, when me and Samantha were walking home, we saw a tall black building and it was new, I had never seen it before.  We were amazed and also very worried at the same time when these strange men came walking out of the building towards us, dropping all of the things they were carrying and started to approach us.  We were scared and so we ran but they followed us.  We tried ringing my mum but she didn't pick up, so we rang Samantha's mum but again, no answer.  We ran to my house and thought we had lost them but about ten minutes later, there was a knock at the door.  Samantha and I ran up the stairs and hid in the wardrobe, hoping they wouldn't find us.  We were sat there for about twenty minutes when, all of a sudden, the door of the bedroom slammed open and three men thundered in, tearing the room apart in their efforts to find us.  Furiously, one of them shouted out, "What about in the wardrobe?".  Samantha and I looked at each other and took a deep breath.  They opened the door and found us, escorting us back to the tall, black building in a black transit van.  They took us to a room with a chair and we were just standing nervously in front of it when suddenly, it spun around and we were amazed to see Tinie Tempah sitting there.  Then my mum and Samantha's mum ran into the room and gave us both a big hug.  We got to speak to him and got his autograph, as well as some tips for rapping.  Then we went for a ride in his car and he dropped us off at my house.  We were so happy that night when we went "trick or treating".  It was the greatest day of our lives!
