"Ooh. It's pretty." Sarah said, eyeing the pearl. She put her notebook back in he backpack and pulled out her hiking gear. "I'm gonna go hike those mountains. Hopefully I can find that box." Sarah said. She adjusted her hiking harness and clipped the grappling hook on it. "I guess I'm pretty lucky to have hiking gear since it's value went up because so many people wanna hike mountains to look for the color box." she paused and looked at her house. "my family used to be rich by owning lots of stores. Then, the government ripped the stores down to fund money so they could look for the box in the desert. But, it wasn't there and many men died there." Sarah stood up. "now we have just a little house and my dad works as a cashier at Starbucks." she said and tossed her backpack on her shoulder, ready to leave for the mountains.

sakura2596 • 24 December 2011 at 5:08 PM

@hayz
Uhhhhhhhh....... You see ben, me, and Sakura talking and walk to us? You make a loud noise? (then we would come twords the noise) you hear us talking about the color box? I dunno 😸



@sakura2496
"ok." Sarah replied and gave Sakura a hiking harness. "I can get you a grapple from my house." she said and ran into her house. "MOM!!! DAD!!!! IM GOING HIKING!!!!" she yelled through the house and came out with a big cardboard box of hiking gear. "here." Sarah said, handing Sakura a grapple. "there is a whole bunch of hiking stuff in here." she said, dumping it all into her backpack. "now we have extra if we loose ours or it breaks." she told Sakura.



@okaysister come join! ☹️

@sarahsaurus Ok....

Silic was shocked. A...color box? Her parents had kept her away from fairy tales and ancestry. What's a color box? What is a color? She stepped forward a little, wanted to see and know more, but all that came was a loud crack beneath her feet. 'I'm screwed.' She thought.

sarahsaurus • 24 December 2011 at 5:29 PM

Sarah heard a noise. "huh?" she thought and saw sillic. "who are you??" she asked the stranger.

sakura2596 • 24 December 2011 at 5:57 PM

i look up at the unknown girl.

hayz • 24 December 2011 at 6:04 PM

Silic tensed as the girl laid eyes on her. She ducked behind the tree even though she knew it was too late.

sakura2596 • 24 December 2011 at 6:10 PM

'errr,hello?who are you?'i ask.

oranberry100 • 25 December 2011 at 4:03 PM

Ben:" Hey, i've seen you 'round. You're Silic!" Ben saw her once while going to 7eleven which was half an hour from where he lived.

hayz • 25 December 2011 at 9:44 PM

"Eh?!" She tensed, then came out from behind the tree. "Uhm... Hi?"

sarahsaurus • 25 December 2011 at 10:00 PM

Sarah was bored with the conversation and flung her backpack on her shoulder and headed twords the mountains in her hiking gear.

oranberry100 • 25 December 2011 at 11:23 PM

Ben noticed Sarah leaving in a hurry and trailed after her. "Hey Sarah, wherever your going can I come too? I'll just head back to my house and grab some stuff" He was enthusiastic and he loved traveling, but sometimes was a bit obnoxious.

sarahsaurus • 25 December 2011 at 11:29 PM

@oranberry100
Sarah stopped. "im going hiking. Gonna look for the color box." she said. She opened her backpack, handing ben a harness and grapple.

oranberry100 • 26 December 2011 at 9:21 AM

@sarahsaurus
"Sweet." Ben took off, heading toward the mountians, in a thrill to find the one and Only color box, then stopped. "What if it's just a myth? What if it's not over those mountains?"

hayz • 26 December 2011 at 9:34 AM

"Uhm.." Silic started. "What's a color box?"

oranberry100 • 26 December 2011 at 11:13 AM

"The color box is what holds those fascinating colors, all the bright, amazing colors, not just brown and gray! That's all I know about it, and Sarah and I are going over that mountain to see if it really exists. Wanna come?"

hayz • 26 December 2011 at 11:17 AM

"I guess...." She said, stepping out to join them. "But what are colors?"

oranberry100 • 26 December 2011 at 11:50 AM

Ben studdered for a moment. "Colors are difficult to describe. They're.." He lost his train of thought.

hayz • 26 December 2011 at 11:56 AM

"They're...?" She questioned. "Strange word it is, never heard 'colors' in my life before." She said. "You sure it's a real word?"

oranberry100 • 26 December 2011 at 12:00 PM

"Now that you mention it, I'm not sure."

hayz • 26 December 2011 at 12:06 PM

"Then why search for something non- existent?" She asked.

oranberry100 • 26 December 2011 at 12:12 PM

Ben looked her strait in th eyes. "Now, you listen and you listen good. we're searching to see if something that fantastic exists. Now, are you coming or not." He had made his point.

hayz • 26 December 2011 at 12:21 PM

Silic stared back. "Fine, but on one condition." She said.

oranberry100 • 26 December 2011 at 12:24 PM

"What" Ben was serious.

hayz • 26 December 2011 at 12:24 PM

"Try to explain what's 'color' on the way there." She said, curious. Why had she not heard of such before?

oranberry100 • 26 December 2011 at 12:32 PM

"Grrr. Fine" Ben was puzzled in trying to describe color. Then he took off his book bag he was wearing and rummaged through it. There, scrunched up between a game console and a water bottle, was a pocket dictionary. He flipped through it until he found color. "Ha!" He said in triumph. " Color- " He froze. There, in his dictionary, it said color= (noun) unknown substance (brown, gray, black, white)

hayz • 26 December 2011 at 12:34 PM

"So color is a thing..... that is unknown?" She asked, looking over his shoulder.

oranberry100 • 26 December 2011 at 12:39 PM

Ben was speechless, but then tried to perk up a bit. "if it's in the dictionary then people know it's a word, right?"

sarahsaurus • 26 December 2011 at 2:10 PM

Sarah came to sillic and ben. "Color is not a myth you guys. My parents said that back in the 1980s there was color." sarah paused. "they said that one morning, they woke up with only theese four colors in the world." she bent down and picked a white and black flower. "color is real....." her voice trailed off as she rubbed the flower. PS check out my weekly short story😸 (on profile) and please write a comment on mi wall.😃
