The Adventures of Fire Girl and Rock Boy

Hi, my name is Laurel .  This Story is about how I met Fire Girl and Rock Boy and of the adventures we had.

 

Let me describe my characters.   First, I want to describe Fire Girl.  Her hair is made out of fire and she wears a suit that is black and yellow.  She has pale skin and she has brown eyes.  She can shoot fire out of her hands.  Fire Girl is the smartest person among my characters (that includes me, too).

 

Rock Boy is my other character.  His body is made out of rocks and he can shoot rocks out of his hands.   He has hair that is the color of black rocks.  He is really funny and is always cracking jokes.

 

Finally, I am the narrator.   I am a normal human with pale skin, brown eyes and brown hair.  I like to read and I am like Fire Girl because she is smart and I am smart too.  I also am like Rock Boy because I always make my friends laugh.  And, I have a dog named Ollie who will play Fire Dog in the movie version of this Story.

 

This Story takes place on Planet Drool.  Planet Drool is solid but it looks like liquid.  Also, Mount Neverest is a big, huge gynormous Mountain .  Inside the Mountain is Mr. Electric’s Lair (I hate Mr. Electric because he is the evil guy in this Story).

 

I first met Rock Boy when I was at a Mountain.   I picked up a rock and threw it a big rock.  The big rock turned out to be Rock Boy.  I took him home and he told me about his adventures he had on Planet Drool.  He said that Planet Drool “is so cool that it makes you drool.” 

 

Then, Fire Girl came.  We went to Planet Drool.  We rode in Fire Girl’s Fire Rocket.  “Our Planet is dying,” Fire Girl said.  “Yeah,” said Rock Boy.  “We have to go to the Lava Castle .  How we get there is we ride the Strawberries of Time, we cross the Lava Bridge, slide down the Lava Slide, get the Lava Heart, freeze time and save     Planet Drool,” said Fire Girl.  “That’s the Plan,” said Rock Boy.

 

We jumped on a platform and, all of a sudden, the Platform jerked and I fell.  I hung onto the side.  “Help!,” I cried.    Fire Girl ran over.  “I’ll help you,” she said.  She cooled off her hands and grabbed one of my hands and pulled me up.  Then, the Platform moved and we rode the Platform.  We entered the main entrance of Planet Drool.  The Platform stopped.  We jumped onto regular ground.  We saw a huge mountain!

 

“Most of the kids are trapped on Mount Neverest !,” said Fire Girl.  “We have to defeat Mr. Electric,” said Rock Boy.  “Let’s go!,” said Fire Girl.

 

We ran and hid behind a rock.  “We can defeat Mr. Electric with our secret weapon, “ said Fire Girl.  “What is our Secret Weapon?,” I asked.  

 “You,” Rock Boy and Fire Girl said in unison.  “Oh,” I said, “we should save those kids first,” I said.  We moved then Fire Girl and Rock Boy jumped up the roller coaster rails.

 

I would jump but I cannot do what they did.  We stopped the roller coaster ride.  We got on the roller coaster and we started moving slowly.  Then, ZOOM!, we rushed so fast we got into Mr. Electric’s lair before we even noticed it.  We saw Mr. Electric – he was BIG!

 

He had a brown face which was protected by glass and plastic.  He said: “You and what army.”  When Fire Girl said: “We have to stop you.”

 

Then all of his power plugs came alive! We fought the power plugs and won!

 

We exited Mr. Electric’s Lair.  Then, we got on the Strawberries of Time.  Then, all of a sudden, Mr. Electric popped up out of nowhere and zapped the Strawberries.  We were thrown off course!

 

We fell through the air.  “What happens when the Strawberries of Time Burn?,” I asked.  “It’s not good,” said Rock Boy.

 

We looked around.  We saw a lava rock.  “Hey look – there’s the Lava Bridge !,” said Rock Boy.  There was the Lava Bridge made out of lava!

 

“Now, how are we going to get across?,” I said. 

 

“Full accounts!,” said Rock Boy. 

 

“Where?,” I asked.

 

“There!,” said Rock Boy pointing.

 

There were Power Hounds coming down the hill and they circled us.  Fire Girl shot fire at one of the Hounds and it lied down dead. 

 

“Okay, this time I killed the dog,” said Fire Girl.

 

We defeated the Power Hounds.   “Take this,” said Fire Girl.  She gave me and Rock Boy a suit like the one she was wearing.  “It is lava-proof,” Fire Girl said.

 

We put them on and crossed the Lava Bridge .  Fire Girl said: “Look – a Restaurant!”  We ran inside the Restaurant.  It was deserted.

 

“Let’s go cook something,” said Fire Girl.

 

We ran behind the counter.  There was food, only it was cold.

 

“I will cook it,” said Fire Girl.  She picked it up and cooked it and put it on a plate.  Then, she gave the plate to me and she put a knife and fork on it.

 

I took the plate.  I put the Plate on the table and took the fork and knife and cut the fish and ate it. 

 

It tasted so good I ate five fish.

 

Fire Girl and Rock Boy ate, too.  We went out of the back door, then we ran to the Lava Slide.

 

“Wow!,” I said.  The Lava Slide was dark.

 

We stared for a little while, then Fire Girl ran to the slide and sat on the edge of it.

 

We sat next to her.  Then, she slid down.  Then me.  The Rock Boy.

 

We landed in the Main Room of the Lava Castle .  Then, we saw a pillar with a Lava heart on it.  Rock Boy climbed up the Pillar and grabbed the Lava Heart.  He fell.  Then, all of a sudden, guards surrounded us! But, when the Guards started coming closer and the Lava Princess came down the Stairs and gave us the Lava Heart.

 

We took it gratefully.  Then, we held it up.  Rock Boy counted down: “Five, Four, Three, Two, One . . .  Everyone was frozen in the room.  Except for me, Rock Boy and Fire Girl.   Then, all of a sudden, a  vortex showed up.   We went through it.  But, before we went I slipped the Lava Heart into my pocket.  The Vortex led straight to Mr. Electric’s Lair.

 

There, he was frozen and a layer of ice covered him.   Then, the ice cracked and he could move again.  Rock Boy and Fire Girl were shocked.  They stood frozen in place (without the layer of ice).

 

But, I was calm.  I carefully took the Lava Heart that was in my pocket and put it around my neck.  Then, I held up my hand and froze Mr. Electric and he turned into snow and fell down into a snow pile.

 

Then, Fire Girl and Rock Boy came unfrozen and cheered: “Yea for Laurel !”  

I went back to the Mountain where I was before when I met Rock Boy.  I waved to Rock Boy and Fire Girl as they ran through the rocks and flew on a rocket ship back to Planet Drool.

 

That was the story but I can still visit Rock Boy and Fire Girl in my dreams.
