A Happy Halloween

Misc texture 1

"My friends were right! My costume is cool!" I exclaim! I quickly thank my mom for showing me and go and call my friends and ask them to com back. As I wait I get two great ideas. When they get here I immediately apologize. "I'm so sorry!" I say. "You were right!" My excitement is bubbling over like a pot right now!

I couldn’t wait so I ran as fast as the wind to the door. Then “bang” I slammed the door and left my friend’s house, I ran all the way home as fast as possible.&nbsp; I see my mom outside my house about to go to work. “Why are you here so soon?” she asked when she saw me. “I have a Halloween costume to make!” I said quickly as I headed to the door, I went inside excited to see what I could build. “I can’t wait to build my own Halloween costume, it’s going to be the best dragon costume ever!” I say to myself joyfully.

“That’s not true those kids are right my costume is the worst costume ever.” I said feeling mad at my friends. I was boiling like hot frying pan with anger. I felt mad so I ignored my friends and told them to leave.&nbsp; Once they left all my emotions came at me like a waterfall. I was mad and sad I started to take apart all my costume.

I am so relieved when my friends accept my apology! I was very worried that they wouldn’t! “Hang on guys!” I say. “I’ll be right back!” I run into my room and get my half destroyed costume. As I run back I am so full of excitement that I want to burst like a balloon. When I come back I set my costume down with a bang and present my big idea.&nbsp;

I walk down the stairs carefully so the wings won’t fall off. I pretend their as delicate as paper to help. We finally arrive at Jake’s house, he greets me with a smile. As I follow him in he leaves to get drinks and some other kids walk over. “What’s wrong with your costume?” one said. My wing started to rip. “Yeah, I mean, it’s practically falling off!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; they laughed and pointed at me and I started to feel sick, like i had a cold.

After I finish finding my last materials to use, I notice my friends are still is having trouble finding materials so I decide to help them.&nbsp; I find them more pieces of cardboard and a large blanket to use as a cape.&nbsp; “Thank you Alex! We would have never found the right materials without you” they said. We started building our costumes we were having so much fun we could explode. We had a few hours before having to go trick or treating so we worked as fast as cheetahs. So far are costume were turning out great, and I couldn’t wait to see the finished products.

I race down the stairs fast like lightning, say bye to Taco then hop into the car where mom was waiting for me. “Are you excited?” Mom asks looking at me. “You bet! I’m as happy as Taco! Now let’s go!” I reply beaming. Hi, my name is Alex Stone. I’m a ten year old kid who loves dragons! Right now I’m on my way to my friends house so they can show me their Halloween costumes!&nbsp;

I keep thinking about what my friends said as I take apart my costume. Stuff gets everywhere as I throw pieces of my costume around the room. My mom comes in and tells me to take a deep breath. I do because my brain feels like it is covered in fog. She shows me that the wings are actually ok and that the tail is just fine. I just need to do a little bit of work on the rest.

I slide the wings over my shoulders, tie the tail around my waist then Mom walks in, and she smiles.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “You look amazing Alex.” “Thanks.” I say looking at her through the mirror.&nbsp; As mom leaves I finish zipping up my costume, wow, it really does look amazing.

I sprint into the kitchen for two long wooden spoons and an ice pack. As I hold the ice to my head I look in the cabinet and realize that we have one long wooden spoon. "Oh no!" I say. "I need two long spoons for the wings!" I frantically search the other cabinets and find a short wooden spoon. "I guess this will work," I mumble. Two hours later my costume is finished. I can't wait to show my friends!

When we all started looking for materials I was as happy and excited as the bright sun.&nbsp; I looked for items to fix and make my costume better and my friends look for materials to start building their new costumes. “This is so much fun, we should build new Halloween costumes every year!” all my friends said. “Yes, we should!” I said cheering with excitement. But then I notice that my friends were having trouble find things to make there costumes with.

As soon as I get home I start to make my costume. I make sure to pet my dog Taco on my way to my room. I suddenly realize that I need to find materials. I'll check the closet first. I run down stairs to the hall closet. "Yes! Cardboard and markers!" I exclaim. Two seconds later a box of hats falls on my head with a bang. "Ow!" I exclaim! I"m about as happy as a dark rain cloud right now.

We all put on our costumes and I am so glad that they don't break! "Lets go guys!" I say. We grab our candy bags, say good bye to our parents, and dash outside! We are running so fast our feet slap against the sidewalk. I eat so much candy that I could burst like a pinata! We have so much fun! This is the best Halloween ever!

All of us work really hard and finish our costumes in time for Halloween! I am very glad that I got my dragon costume done in time! "I'm so excited! I feel as happy as sunshine right now!" I say. "I can't wait to go trick or treating!"

Well I thought that we could all make costumes together!

“You know how I was trying to make a costume right?” I ask my friends. “Well I thought that we could all make costumes together!” “What do you think?” I ask my friends. I feel so happy when they all say yes! “One more thing guys,” I say. “Will you help me make a taco costume for my dog?” I am so happy when they say yes. We get started right away.

Later that day “ring” I hear the doorbell ring when I open it I see it’s my friends.&nbsp; They tell me they heard about what the mean kids said to me about my costume. “Alex, we heard what those mean kids said to you, don’t believe them that not true we think that your costume looks great!” One of my friends said. “Yeah, we know how hard you worked on you’re costume, you were very creative and smart about it we would of never thought about making such an amazing costume!” my other friend said.

When I get to my friend's house I knock on their door When they opened it I went to where they were all sitting and I fixed my glasses before sitting down with my friends. “Hi” I say. “Hi” they say back. I realize that they are all wearing their new Halloween costumes already, which made me feel a little left out… but then as fast as lighting I got an amazing idea. &nbsp;“I have a great idea! Since Halloween is coming up, and I can’t afford a costume, I can build my own costume. My house is filled with the perfect materials!” I said filled with excitement.
