Hey people! Did you like my newest story? I do! Also, I had to get a new passport. Well, actually, everyone but Gloria did. So, we went to Downtown Vancouver. Oh yeah, if you want a summary of the adventure, go to Gloria’s Blog. Here is my journey:
I took a Skytrain to Waterfront, then we “arrived” at Sinclair Centre, which I don’t like, cause it’s a big, empty space. And I found a tiny washroom to make myself feel better. . . no details to that! Anyway, after the washroom incident, we looked at a very colourful map and we found the passport place which is called “Passport Canada”. We did the things we needed to do (you know, show the passport information, pictures, etc. Oh yeah, and. . . ), then we got our “ticket” and we sat in the rows of chairs and. . . we waited for 45 minutes, I think. Good thing I brought books, and my mom had the DS. Then we went to get the passport stuff. And I said I wanted to go home, BUT. . . .that was only the beginning of a memorable journey.
We went near the Seawall! Okay, not a big accomplishment but still! And then we saw the 5 flag thingy, and a huge ship (to me, anyway). Then we go attracted to some art. Which I think is the Vancouver University of Art or something. We saw a statue made from sand (the sand statue was a picture of the sea underwater) and a “digital orca whale”! It was made out of black and white blocks. And some grey ones. Oh, and I saw the exterior Olympic torch lighting place. When you look closely, though, the “ice” it seems to be made out of, is actually glass with “cracks”. My mom told me that the torch thingy lights up at night. I knew that because at the bottom of each ice/glass thingy, there is a light. One of the torch thing that I saw was fuchsia-coloured. And on the other side of the place was a blue raindrop shaped thing. After, we got hungry, so we went to Waterfront Centre. We checked out some cool things and a hotel connected to it. Then we finally got to the food court. We could’ve chose anything in the food court, but we chose Tim Hortons. My mom chose a Ham Swiss sandwich combo, which included a doughnut and a drink. My mom chose brown, toasted bread and coffee with no sugar, just cream. The doughnut was for Gloria, who chose a chocolate one with coconut pieces. She also got apple juice. I then got a Canadian Maple, which is like a holeless doughnut with cream instead of a hole, and maple frosting on top. Delicious! Just in case we were hungry after, I bought 10 Timbits. Then. . . .
We went to the Skytrain station and we went home. On one line, Gloria and I got to sit at the beginning! But it was too loud, so I resumed my old seat. When we got to the ‘Brentwood Town Centre ‘station, we started walking home. Near the mall, it was hotter, so we went in the mall. Inside, my mom sat down with the I-pod Touch, so Gloria and I checked out the kittens. I even saw one fart!:P Then we finally headed home. when we got home, I found out I had a welt-like thing on my heel! I must’ve walked too much.
Then for dessert, I had the Timbits. MMmm!

My Journey to Downtown:D
The Angel in the Tree(7)
The next day, Lanie and Medy ate breakfast and flew to the tree. Landing perfectly at the door, Markee let them in and they headed toward THE Room. This time, Jle and Kaard were there, too, with Warshi and Meerh. Markee was staying today. Chervy Ann smiled, and said,”Welcome, Laneelella and Meredith. As you can see, almost the whole Council has assembled today, in your honor.” She paused. “Or in your un-honor. . . “,finished Jle. 1 hour later. . .
“In conclusion to our meetings, you are allowed to see each other if you do not tell anyone about us,”Chervy Ann paused dramatically, and continued,”and we ask you a great favor.” “What now?”Medy questioned. “Actually, Marianne asked you guys. Meredith. Please be Ane’s friend. It will be much simpler to us, and you don’t need to keep any secrets. But she might appear quite headstrong sometimes, but, she’s not the only one. . . “,Kaard’s voice trailed off. Medy felt very relieved and went straight to Lanie”s house. Weeks later, Medy and Ane went to the woods to Lanie’s home. Starting from that day, they always thought of totally crazy ideas to play and make together.
What a happy ending! so. . .
THE END
The Angel in the Tree(6)
So they sat. Medy looked around and saw a imp wearing a soften bark suit and a fairy wearing a bell shaped petal dress, with a green stem belt. The imp’s name was Mister Meerh Petunia, and the fairy was Missus Warshi Queen. Warshi saw Medy and snickered, thinking Who does this human think she is? Meerh tapped his piece of charcoal, stood up, and said,”Medy, dahhhling, I’ve heard you do not have any friends besides Lanie, right?” Nod, nod. “Why do you want to be Lanie’s friend, not Ane, eh? She is Lanie’s friend’s human. Like you guys! Sadly, Marianne, the angel, was banished.” Cackle, cackle. Lanie suddenly realized what they were getting her into, since Marianne went to the library yesterday. “No, she isn’t ,ah, banished.” Chervy Ann sorta paled, but spoke again about Ane and Marianne, thinking up millions more horrible punishments. Warshi then, given a signal by Chervy Ann, said that they could come tomorrow, to talk more about it, and the rest of the council will discuss it. Lanie breathed a sigh of relief and they flew back to Lanie’s home. As they ate mint pie and bark tea, Medy brought up the subject of Ane. “Um, Lanie, did you know that Ane is my, well, Science partner? Yes, I know, unbelievable. Whenever I mention magic, her eyes light up, and she tells me she met a magician. I guess Marianne was the “magician”!” Medy smiled in spite of herself. She walked over to the bookshelf and found a story called ‘The Fairy Angel’. She settled down and read it. The next day . . . .
To be continued tomorrow or so. . . .

When they met by the tree, they hurried inside the the door where they wrote their names on the guestbook. Then, they sat on the nutshell and leaf-lined chairs and waited. 2 fairies sat and chatted about the latest new hairstyle. 4 imps added their names on a cork board, while 8 other angels read the magazines on the shelf. A boy angel ina uniform walked in and looked at a similar guestbook and read Medy and Lanie’s names. “Follow me to the Room.”he said. They stood up and hurried after him. Into the Room they went. Carefully. But when they reached the Room’s doors, Markee, the boy, turned to the wall on their right, opened the fire alert light and put in a secret password.”This is THE Room”, he said. He grinned, and they walked in. Medy was amazed. Lanie was still thinking about what’ll happen now then being surprised. “Welcome to the Council, I am Chervy Ann, the president of the Council. Sit down, please.” The angel that said it was wearing a petal and leaf suit, her green and purple hair in a curly bun. They sat down in seats with their name on it, and . . . . .

The Angel in the Tree(4)
Now, when Medy made a promise with Lanie, she had problems with the poorest person in the class, Dieny. Most people think poor people are shy, but this one was bossy, sort of like a bully. Whenever Medy was totally miserable from Dieny, she went to Lanie. So when Lanie had a sad face, when she went to visit, she knew something was wrong. “Lanie, what’s wrong?”, asked Medy. Lanie didn’t answer; she just tossed Medy a paper. ‘Dear Laneelella(So that’s her real name, thought Medy), The chipmunks heard you have a visitor, a human, no? Well, tell her to KEEP OUT, because the human is most likely to tell someone the secrets of the Angels in the Woods. We are quite concerned about our territory; we don’t want intruders spreading stories about us and our place(How dare they think Medy would even think of doing that, Lanie silently fumed.). We hope to never, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER hear of this again. With Our Best Regards, The Circle of Angels Council.’
What!!, raged the voice in Medy’s head. “Well, I can never see you. What can we do?” The angel and Medy had grown to be the greatest of friends, and now Lanie was speaking with tears in her eyes. “We could”, suggested Medy,”talk to the Council.” Lanie snorted. As if! But it’s a pretty good plan, nonetheless, thought Lanie. “Okay, meet me tomorrow by the eighth tree on the left beside the green stump on the right.” “Great, see you there, Lanie!” Lanie waved and smiled weakly. The next day. . . .

Medy looked in and saw. . a human-like tiny being in the big tree. The being was a metre tall. The thing was using the inside of the tree as a house without harming it. The “tree house” had a door a metre-and-a-half tall. Medy stepped closer to the tree and used her knuckle to knock. Knockitty knock knock. “Hello?”,asked a deep lady-ish voice. The tiny being opened the door and said,”Oh, a visitor! Come in, come in.” “How?”, asked Medy. The being winked and Medy shrank until she was as small as the being. “Ho, who are you? I’m Lanie, the angel in the tree.” “I-I’m Meredith. . .”, Medy stammered. Especially since the angel was so pretty. She had blue and pink hair which she put a flower petal fabric hat, and she wore a green leaf tunic with a woven grass belt. Her shoes were made from plastic. She had never felt so awed, so surprised, amazed, all those words and beyond. Lanie offered Medy a cherry tart with a cherry the size of a apple. Yes, Medy nodded. Meanwhile, Lanie was scribbling on a piece of paper made from peach-skin. “What’s that?”, asked Medy. “Oh, this?” Medy nodded “That’s a paper for the “Weekly Forest”. I basically do the fortune and advice column.” After they talked, ate tarts and chestnut milk, Medy heard the bell ring, and asked her angel to change her back(Medy said she will try to visit everyday, if Lanie was her angel, like a fairy godmother. They agreed upon that.) One day, when she went to the house, she found Lanie with a unhappy face, and when she found out, everything will change. .

As Medy sat in her seat by the window (’twas summer, so it was HOT!!). Her teacher taught them geometry. And decimals. Or, at least, trying to. The students were excited for Runaway Day, which is a day they can go everywhere in and around the school, including the out-of-bounds place. Medy was excited only so she can explore the place. When the day came, Medy headed straight to where the forest with the crooked, old tree. When she got there, she put her hand on the first tree and looked inside. “Whoa”, she breathed. She expected to see trees all crowded in, making no space for a living to go through. Instead, she saw trees making a cave-like structure and many, many paths. She took a few steps and saw. . . .

“As it were told long ago. . . . “, Medy listened to her grandmother tell the story of Gorm Castle. After, Medy was called to her father’s workroom. Medy ran upstairs and turned to the third room on the left. “Meredith, we are moving.” her mother said flatly. What did mom say, she wondered.
She ran downstairs as fast as she could to tell her grandma. Her grandma wasn’t too happy about Medy’s parent’s move. “I’ll talk to your parents and see what I can do.”said her grandma. As much as Medy’s grandma tried, she couldn’t get them to change their mind.
In July, they moved. From Alsoh to Olik. Medy was happy to have her own room than sharing with her older brother Kelsey.
The next day, it was time to go to school. For Medy, starting sixth grade at a new school wasn’t a good idea. Luckily, she got the best teacher, but the worst seat. . .

Hmm
I’ve got a question; On a scale of 1-10(1 being the worst, 10 the best) what is your rating of ‘The Empty Jar? I think a 9.5. It’s not that good, really. Also, I’m probably gonna write more stories. In here. In summer. You have any ideas?
Post Scriptum:I’m not complaining, but may I please have some comments? Sometimes I feel like I’m writing for no one to see.
Prologue
P.S. This is supposed to be in the beginning.
Anie and Amee went to the yard sale and started looking for buy-able stuff. At the end, they each bought a bracelet and a glass flower. When they went home, their mom introduced them to the jar. That’s when the girls started wondering. Anie tested it first. A week later, she started studying it. . .
