Day 6

I will have to admit that today's story will probably be a little cheesy (wink) but it was really fun to write. I was having trouble thinking of how to do this until I looked at it from a different angle. I enjoy having to think through writing messes like that. Anyway, some helpful information is that the characters here are actually snack food. Like Amanda Oreo is really an Oreo. We got that covered now, so without further adieu here is today's story.

            Amanda Oreo had a great first day at her new school, but also a confusing one. It all started when her and her new friend, Julia Ritz, went to lunch. There was a sign on the door that said, “Due to the incident on November 14, Cheez-its are no longer allowed in the cafeteria! Thank you for your cooperation.”

            Amanda pointed to the sign,”Hey Julia, what happened?” Julia’s eyebrows shoot up and she glanced around.

            “Shhh! We’re not supposed to talk about it. At least not here.”

            “Well, ok.”

            She tried to ask her parents about it over dinner, but they didn’t know anything about it. A few days later, Julia invited Amanda over after school. “I’ll tell you all about the Cheez-its.” And this is the tale she told.

            “Five years ago, a boy named Timothy Cheez-it was angry that Cheez-its were the only square-shaped family among the other circle-shaped snacks. He came up with a scheme to obliterate everyone else and let only the Cheez-its remain.

            “The first thing he did was more subtle, yet quite harmful still. He would sneak poison into the cafeteria food. Then he purposely blamed Cheez-its for this crime so they would get banned from the cafeteria. I guess he was afraid that they might get poisoned to.

            “After that, Timothy began more drastic measures and started bombing places in our city. Luckily though, the police arrested him three years ago and completely cleaned the city of Cheez-its. I’ve never seen one since.”

            “Wow,” Amanda murmured. “That explains why I haven’t seen any here. I was wondering if that had something to do with it.”

            “Yep, wait, did you see some where you used to live?”

            “Yeah, definitely. A girl named Juniper Cheez-it was my best friend there.”
