Fruity & Fabulous

By: Reese .Y

Hi, Im a grape. The lowest ranked fruit in the FFA (Fruit Fiesta Association). Im very exited because today the FFA is going to hold a big meeting. They are going to name the Fruit Of The Year, and give promotions to special seeds that are doing a good job. As a grape, my job is to not get eaten. I know, pretty lame, right. But my dream is to be a watermelon. Watermelons are models. Their bodys are perfect for showing off our new peels! I've worked really hard for the past two years for this meeting. I was not going to let go of my dream ever! The day of the meeting had arrived sooner than I had thought! I was nearly squashed by an orange as I rolled into the big indigo building, with the words "Fruit Fiesta Association" pasted across the top in a light navy color. As I walked through the big golden doors for the first time, the glare blinded my eyes. The inside was coated in silver and gold. Portraits of the old executives covred the walls, and the letters "FFA" were painted across the celing. The bathrooms even had silver based toilets, and golden sinks. The toilet paper was the finest quality in the whole world, with little flowers imprinted in it. Then, I walked into the meeting room, and there were millions of chairs for the whole friuty world! The sizes ranged from blueberries all the way to jackfriuts! They were like royal thrones of navy and gold, and there was one for every friut. I looked around and saw a chair with my name on it, Suzie Frat. I sat down and waited for everyone else to pile in. When all the fruit in the FFA was in the room, trumpets bursted from the curtains. They were a golden yellow, and they started playing a tune. It was deep and dramatic, and when it stopped, Executive Pumpkin walked in. We all bowed to him, and he took a seat. He started with things that were so boring that I almost fell asleep, and then he named Friut Of The Year. It was Caleb. I was dissapointed that it was not me, but I remembred my goal was to be a watermelon. We all clapped and cheered for Caleb. Caleb is a blueberry, and they are in charge of security. He got his medal, and then we moved on to the promotions segment! Executive Pumpkin listed the spots avalible. There were only three watermelon spots open! They started with the new officer, Luke. Then the friut promotins started. I was so happy when my best friend Leah got promoted to a strawberry! Then Lilly, Abby, and Maggie all became clementines! They were so exited, but nothing could top the confetti going off in my stomach every second that passed! Now they were naming the watermelon promotions! I was just too exited! He named the first promotion. It went to Summer. I was starting to lose hope. The second went to Madison. I had to keep myself together for one last person. The last one went to Ella. I didn't make it. They moved on to dragonfriuts, but I had lost intrest. The meeting was shortly over, and I didn't get my dream. The people stared to empty out, and I went home before anyone could see me. The next few days passed, and I was still upset. On Sunday, I went to take out the trash, and I saw a letter in my mailbox. It was from the FFA! I ran inside as fast as I could and opened it. The letter had twelve words on it. That was all. It said, "I am coming to meet you in your house tomorrow. -Executive Pumpkin" ! The mayor wanted to speak with me! I was absoloutly flabergasted, but what did he want from me? The next day was the longest day in the world as I waited for him to arrive. I cleaned the house a million times, and wanted it to look prefect for him.When I heard a knock on the door. I was more exited then I could handle! I opened the door to see Executive Pumpkin standing outside it. I ushered him inside, and we sat down at the dining room table. He started by saying he wanted to talk to me in private after the meeting, but I had left too fast. He said that he saw how hard I had worked for the past year and knew how detirmined I was. Then he said, " You have prooved that you can be a watermelon." I was stunned! My dream had finally come true!I was about to become a watermelon! Before I knew it, the room grew bright, and confetti and glitter surrounded me. I never saw this part of promotions before! The light just grew brigter and brighter, then it dimmed out. Once I could see again, I looked in the mirror, and I was actually a watermelon! I could not belive it! I, was, a watermelon! I just wanted to dance around the room and scream to the whole world, but I knew that it would dissapoint Mr. Pumpkin. I said "Thank you!" to him more times then I needed, and for once, I think he actually smiled! My dream had finally come true, and I would live up to it every day!
