Scare Scream: [deep voice] I don’t have hands. If I play I will destroy the ball.
Spikey Man: Do you want to read some books? Like, cowboy books?
Scare Scream: Maybe, but what is a cowboy?
Spikey Man: They are from the desert and the Old West with old fashioned hats and small masks and sometimes with small guns.
Scare Scream: Oh, so you mean blasters.
Spikey Man: No! Not that new. They are the oldest guns.
Scare Scream: Wait, did I land on Earth in my pod?
Spikey Man: Let’s end this conversation now, okay? We can read cowboy books, please!!!
Scare Scream: Fine. I am ten thousand light-years behind on this planet.
Spikey Man: How ‘bout I show you around?

Narrator: One day, AnnaBell went to Lansing, Michigan from Greece to see family members.
AnnaBell: I am going to see if my family members are here yet.
Narrator: AnnaBell did not see someone coming because she had no eyes and she was not paying attention.
Slappy: Oh! Why did you bump into me? I was talking to my client on the phone and I dropped my phone. You made me break it.
AnnaBell: Sorry! Did you notice I have no eyeballs? So yeah… [thinking]... Burn.
Slappy: Well, I was eating a burrito — a vegan taco. I’m vegan, that’s right…
AnnaBell: Well forget your stupid taco. WAIT, I kinda recognize… Wait, you’re the kid who knocked my eyeballs out!!!!!
Slappy: And you are the kid who made fun of my beautiful tacos. I will not say sorry ever never ever!!!
AnnaBell: Well they weren’t. The truth is, not even the Boogey Man likes your tacos. And he eats his own boogers.
Slappy: Yeah, that was gross. But I have a meeting with my wife so I have to go. [Walks away]
AnnaBell: That was a little weird?
Narrator: It was the next day, Thanksgiving! AnnaBell was going to her mom’s.
Narrator: AnnaBell opened the door and she saw Slappy!
AnnaBell: What are you doing here!?
Slappy: You did not know I am married to your sister? We are related.
AnnaBell: WHAT! [slap] … [thinking] … Please tell me this is a dream.
Slappy: Well, you are going to have to be my friend or you will be sorry.
AnnaBell: Fine, we will try to get along.
Narrator: This is the end of our story. They got along and were happy, but AnnaBell never saw Slappy… The end.
