Maggie’s Amazing Adventure!
“That, was a nice warm cup of hot chocolate”, explained Maggie wiping off the whip cream from her lips!
“Yah, now let’s go hit the train park I heard it snowed some serious powder”, replied Gordon.
It was a chilly day out in Fernie B.C. Maggie and Gordon were on their yearly ski trip together. The two of them always went somewhere new! They have both been best buds since they were 3 years old.
Maggie is 21, with long curly brown locks. She is shorter for her age with sparkling green eyes. Maggie is very good at sports and still trying to master skiing!
Gordon has dirty blonde hair with some natural curl; he is 6’0 exactly. He is 24 years old with beautiful brown eyes! Gordon loves to go snowboarding and hit the train park.
After a long day of skiing the Big Rookies, Maggie went into the small village of Fernie to do some shopping for herself. Meanwhile Gordon stayed out in the white fluffy powder to go night skiing.
“WAKE UP Gordon it’s already 9:00am and you were supposed to get up at 8am so we could be there early, I’ve been up for 1 hour and I thought you were up”, shouted Maggie with a big bang.
“Yes, whatever I was tired I got in at 11 last night from the hill”, explained Gordon.
“And you’ll never guess who I saw training”, said Gordon jumping up form his bed.
“Who, Who tell me”, Maggie said anxiously.
“ERIK GUAY”.
“Oh my gosh, he’s the best skier ever in the world and my favorite athlete”, explained Maggie so excited she could barely breath!
“I know”, said Gordon annoyed “I hear you talk about him every single day”!
After Gordon and Maggie ate their breakfast they headed off for the ski hill. They just arrived at the hill and all the B.C. skiers were filing into the lodge on a cold day! Last night it had snowed 32cm of powder.
Maggie went to the chairlift to hit her first run of the day. Gordon stayed behind to grab a cup of coffee in the lodge.
“WOW, what nice fresh powder”, thought Maggie to herself!
After Maggie got of the chairlift she got often momentum and started off down the hill. Before Maggie had even got half way down the hill she had fallen various times!
Maggie went for a left sharp turn and wiped out; she was rolling down the hill and lost both of her skis. Finally she came to a sudden stop, by that time her goggles had bit the dust and her face was all snow with spots of red. Maggie had really hurt her leg and was in major pain.
In a while a young man came and saw Maggie lying there. The man had his helmet on and goggles, he was all bundled up so you couldn’t see him. He helped Maggie up and the Ski Patrol crew came to help her up onto a bed to get her down the hill.
Gordon was just coming out of the lodge and saw someone in the bed. He recognized Maggie’s purple jacket with white designs on it. Gordon quickly rushed over and saw that it was her.
A whole half in hour pasted by and finally the paramedics came in to look at Maggie’s leg. They told her she had broken her leg, they were going to take her to the Fernie General Hospital to get her leg fixed up and Maggie would have to be on crutches for a few months. This meant that Maggie wouldn’t be doing anymore skiing this year, or any fun activities and sports.
By 10pm Maggie was up and out of the hospital with her pink cast on and her plain old colored crutches.
While she and Gordon were walking towards the car Maggie thought to herself who was that young man who helped me up and called the Ski Patrol?
“Hey Gordon who was that man all bundled up and came down with me”, asked Maggie curiously?
“Well, he had a ski racing jacket and ski pants on, and it said “Alpine National Race Team”, replied Gordon!
Just before Maggie and Gordon reached the car a nurse from the hospital came rushing out and yelled, “Maggie Wilson wait”.
“A man is here to see you, please come back in the hospital”, shouted the nurse.
“OK, I’ll be there in a minute”, shouted Maggie back to the friendly nurse.
“Let me just stay behind and I’ll start the car”, said Gordon.
As the hospital doors slid open there stood a young man with a jacket on that said “Alpine National Race Team”!
“Oh, are you ERIK GUAY”, exclaimed Maggie with a huge smile on her face?
“Yes, I sure am and I just came down to see how your leg was”, said Erik.
“Yah, it’s good but it does hurt a little with the cast just put on”, explained Maggie nervously!
“Well I’m glad your ok now”, replied Erik with a friendly smile.
Maggie and Erik sat down and talked for a while with a nice warm cup of hot cocoa! After that Erik walked with Maggie to the car and by that time Gordon had fallen asleep, with the radio blasting loud!
The next morning Gordon and Maggie headed off for the hill. Maggie wanted to go skiing so badly, but couldn’t! Maggie just waited in the lodge the whole morning and in the afternoon her and Gordon her going to head back home for Edmonton. The whole morning Maggie was reading her favorite book; Twilight! And after reading a few hundred pages, Maggie got in line for a chocolate muffin and just as she was walking back to her table Erik Guay had just walked in!
“Hey Maggie, how are you doing”, asked Erik?
“Pretty good just very tired and relaxing my leg”, said Maggie with her right leg resting on the chair!
“Just wanted to know if your doing ok and how your feeling”?
“Yeah, I’ll be ok thanks to your help”, said Maggie with a twinkle in her eyes!
“I better get going I have to do a practice run before starting the race to warm up me muscles”, said Erik in a strong voice.
“I really hope I can see you again”, exclaimed Maggie with a sad expression.
“Well, I sure hope so too”, replied Erik and gave Maggie a big huge!
After Erik left, Maggie felt like she was in love!
At 12:30pm Gordon came in and Maggie told him all about her love story with Erik! Maggie really hoped that she would see him again! And that was Maggie’s Amazing Adventure in Fernie B.C!
A few months later
By the time it was spring Maggie’s leg had heeled and she was much better. Maggie started a new job at a ski shop and Gordon became a lawyer. They both are doing well and have great paying jobs!! By the time it was winter Gordon and Maggie headed off for the mountains. And guess who was at Red Lodge Montana Ski Resort? ERIK GUAY! Maggie and Erik are really good friends now and they hang out a lot now! Maggie decided to also join the Alpine National Ski Team!

Bride Wars
The best movie ever is Bride WARS
Bride Wars is the best movie ever because; this movie has a wonderful story line and it teaches you a valuable life lesson, Bride Wars is very funny, and the last reason why this is the best movie ever is because it stars Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson!
Why this is the best movie ever you ask? Well because; it has an amazing story line and teaches good life lessons! This movie is definitely hilarious and makes anyone have a good chuckle! And of course Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway work very well together and are very good actors, they are also super funny in their own unique ways!!
Firstly, this movie has an awesome story line and teaches you life lessons. The movie starts out with two best friends named Emma and Livy and they have always dreamed of having their weddings at the Plaza in June! When they were younger they had pretend weddings in their bedrooms and always dreamed of the day that they would get married with their gorgeous wedding gowns and beautiful hair! Now time has passed and they have moved on in their lives, Emma is a teacher and Livy is a lawyer. One night when Emma came in from work she had found a fortune cookie on the counter, and she cracked it open and in it was an engagement ring! Her boyfriend had asked her to get married and in the next few days Livy’s boyfriend had asked her to get married as well! So, in the next week they were both were going to a wedding planner to arrange their dates. And what they didn’t know is that their weddings were going to be schuleded on the same day and that’s where the chaos began!
Bride Wars teaches you a really good life lesson, and to really treat your friends with respect and love or you will lose them. In the movie since they weren’t going to change their wedding days, then both would have their wedding on the same day! Since that happened they wouldn’t call each other, e-mail each other, or go for their daily run in the park anymore. It was getting out of control and at the last minute they finally realized that they really need one another at their weddings.
Also, this movie wouldn’t be the same if there wasn’t any humour in it! Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway are extremely funny! In one of the scenes Emma is at the hair salon getting a tan and just about to hop in the tanning bed, since her and Lily weren’t getting along Livy decides to switch the tanning colour to a really dark orange! When Emma walks out of the salon she is stunned and is very anger. Emma kind of guessed it was Livy and she was absolutely right! So the next day Livy was getting her hair done for the wedding and getting some highlights in. Well the hair dresser was mixing her colour Emma snuck in and mixed BLUE colour in with the blonde! As soon as the hair dresser raises the towel of Livy’s head she screams “MY HAIR IS BLUE, IT’S BLUE”! Emma was not impressed with orange skin and Livy was not very happy with blue hair!
Lastly, a movie is not the same unless there is good acting! Kate Hudson is an amazing actor and super duper funny. She has starred in many movies and this one is my favourite of her’s. When you watch the movie it feels like you are a character in the movie and one of the bridesmaids! Anne Hathaway is also a wonderful actor! She does very well in this movie and really plays the part as if she was a soon to be bride! Kate and Anne do work well together and made an awesome movie!
In conclusion Bride Wars is the best movie ever made! It has a really good story line and teaches life lessons. Bride Wars is very funny and makes anyone laugh and Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway are very good actors. So if you’re in the mode for humour, good acting, and a good story then you should watch Bride Wars, and see if they will be at each others weddings?

The girl who faded away
The girl who faded away
Carla slid down the banister to search for her pink polka dot tank top and her blue jeans.
Carla has bright blue eyes that always sparkled when she smiled, she had the best grades in her class, played on the Junior Girls Volleyball team for 2 years, Carla is very tall and is 13 years old she will be turning 14 in December.
Carla and her mom were off to Florida this morning. They had a 9:45am flight, and were heading to the airport. Carla had never been Florida before, but she has been to New York. That was her last trip with her dad, before he died in a car accident on the way back from work one evening. Her dad was a very hard worker, Carla never saw him a lot and it was hard to get over his passing. Now it was just her and her mom.
“Honey, we have to leave now we need to be at least an hour early, for the flight”, shouted her mom.
“Yes I’m coming, but it’s going to take a Heavy DUTY Truck to carry my luggage”, yelled Carla back.
“Carla are you excited for your first trip to a hot location”?
“Well, I am but it will be different without dad around”.
“Yes, I know it’s hard and emotional but let’s just try to have fun”!
“Ok mom, now quick we have to get our tickets and good seats so that we can see the beautiful view of the sky”.
The West Jet plane took off at exactly 9:45, Carla and her mom got 2nd row seats and they could see the amazing view. Carla had NO homework over the holiday, because it was a 2 week winter break and she was going to miss all her friends. She was going to especially miss Molly, who she was best buds with since Kindergarten and did everything together.
As the plane was landing Carla felt butterflies in her stomach and her ears were popping, it had only been the second time she had ever flown and she wasn’t an expert on landing.
Carla and her mom got a bright yellow taxi to the Days Inn hotel, they were staying there for a week and then going to her mom’ sister place for the 2nd week.
“WOW, look at the huge mansion”, exclaimed Carla with her mouth wide open.
“That’s beautiful, I would love to live in house”, said her mom.
“I can already tell we are going to have a blast here”, smiled Carla!
Carla and her mom arrived at the hotel, as soon as they got there, Carla hit the huge pool and her mom stayed in the room to watch Entertainment Tonight and ordered an extra large pizza with cheese!
Carla sprinted over to the hot tub as she got out of the ice cold pool. “Ah, this is nice”, she said to herself as she sinks down with her back against the roaring jet. After awhile Carla’s face was getting red HOT! She jumped out of the hot tub and as she was walking to get a towel, she rammed into a girl who looked about her age and had a green 2 piece bathing suit on.
“Oh, SORRY”, said Carla.
“That’s fine, I bumped into to you first don’t worry”, replied the girl.
The girl seems really kind and caring, thought Carla and maybe I should ask her what her name is, how old she is, and how long she is staying for here in Florida.
Carla started to talk to this girl, her name is Sarah and she is the same age as Carla, lives in the same province as Carla, and is staying here for a week on her winter break. Sarah and Carla go to the pool with each other every night and go to the arcade afterwards!!
“WOW, I can’t believe it’s already been 3 days, it’s seemed like 200”, exclaimed Sarah, as her and Carla were drying off from the wet cold water.
“Yah, your right and we still have a 4 fun days left together”, replied Carla!!
As the days were getting shorter and time was running out, Sarah hadn’t told Carla that she only had 9 weeks to live the rest of her enjoyable life. Sarah was slowly suffering from Bone Cancer; she was very weak at times and got extremely tired.
Oh, it’s already 7:00 at night said Carla to herself as she glanced at the big bold numbers of the red clock. She was headed for Sarah’s room and excited to jump into the hot tub, with her best bud!!
“HELLO, is anyone there”, asked Carla?
“Oh, sorry honey I didn’t hear you there”, replied Sarah’s mom.
“Is Sarah able to come over to the pool tonight”?
“No, she is sick and horribly tired, we might have to take her to the hospital tonight”, explained Sarah’s mom.
“Can I see her, or is it really bad”?
“It’s really bad sweetie”.
“Well what’s wrong, does she have a cold or allergies”?
“No, its much worse…Sarah has bone cancer and only 9 weeks to live this was going to be her last vacation till she passes away”, whispered Sarah’s mom as she had a tear fall from her left cheek.
“I’m so sorry I didn’t realize, I guess we won’t be going to the park anymore or having pizza or, or have running races to the pool”, Carla said running off down the hallway as tears came pouring out.
At 3 in the afternoon Carla had just got back from the beautiful beach, Carla got very tanned threw out this vacation! And she loved to have darker skin then her original.
She headed over to room 127 in the hotel to see her new best friend Sarah!!
Sarah’s mom going out of the room to get some cold ice for her refreshing favorite drink Pepsi!
“Oh, hi Carla I didn’t see you there”, exclaimed Sarah’s mom.
“Hi, is Sarah back from the hospital yet and how is she feeling”, asked Carla?
“No, there’s been some horrible news honey”, replied Sarah’s mom.
“What, what is it”?
“At 1am last night Sarah passed away and was horribly sick from her cancer, the doctor that took x-rays on her was wrong”, said Sarah’s mom very sober.
“That can’t be, I didn’t even get to say good-bye to her”, said Carla very sad with tears building up.
“I’m leaving tomorrow to go home and see the rest of my family”, explained Sarah’s mom.
Oh no, thought Carla to herself How could this be? Carla booked it off to her room and stayed in bed the whole night watching her and Sarah’s favorite show; That’s so Raven.
1 week later
Carla was safely home now, and her winter break was over. As school was starting up again she was happy to see Molly and all the boys, but she found it difficult to not have Sarah there or communicate with her on the phone or talk with her on e-mail each other.
On January, 11 2006 was Sarah’s funeral and Carla was there in her silk black dress and high black shoes with a nice black hat to finish her outfit off, wherever Carla went she always had to be fashionable!!
After the funeral Carla felt a lot better and had said good-bye to Sarah.
Now, every year on winter break Carla and her mom go to Florida!

“No, there’s been some horrible news honey”, replied Sarah’s mom.
“What, what is it”?
“At 1am last night Sarah passed away and was horribly sick from her cancer, the doctor that took x-rays on her was wrong”, said Sarah’s mom very sober.
“That can’t be, I didn’t even get to say good-bye to her”, said Carla very sad with tears building up.
“I’m leaving tomorrow to go home and see the rest of my family”, explained Sarah’s mom.
Oh no, thought Carla to herself How could this be? Carla booked it off to her room and stayed in bed the whole night watching her and Sarah’s favorite show; That’s so Raven.
1 week later
Carla was safely home now, and her winter break was over. As school was starting up again she was happy to see Molly and all the boys, but she found it difficult to not have Sarah there or communicate with her on the phone or talk with her on e-mail each other.
On January, 11 2006 was Sarah’s funeral and Carla was there in her silk black dress and high black shoes with a nice black hat to finish her outfit off, wherever Carla went she always had to be fashionable!!
After the funeral Carla felt a lot better and had said good-bye to Sarah.
Now, every year on winter break Carla and her mom go to Florida!
