The Sleepover
It was a nice sunny day. I was at home packing my stuff for my friend Ian’s house. Right as I finished, packing my stuff my mom shouted “Nick it's time to go!” Then I rushed downstairs to the car. My mom was inside the car waiting for me. It was a hassle getting all of my stuff inside but I managed it.
When we got to Ian’s house at 4:15 sharp, Cutter ran out the door to greet me, then unsurprisingly he stole stole my Nerf gun then ran around the house with it in his hands. So then Ian and Lucas (who is my other friend) came outside to use my gun. Suddenly I ran inside the house greeting Mrs. Lent, as I ran passed her up the stairs into Ian’s bedroom and the ran back down stairs again. I ran outside the house to see them shooting off styrofoam bullets into the front yard without my permission. Because of that I lost a styrofoam bullet.
We were searching for the bullet for about a good 10 seconds until we gave up. So then we ran inside, up the stairs into Ian’s room to show off all of our Nerf guns. We heard the door open from downstairs, we knew it was Charlie my other friend. We ran downstairs to greet him, he sure didn’t have much stuff with him. Then, when we were all settled down Ian took out his map of the property and other properties around his.
When Ian started talking about all the places not to go, for instance don’t go here you'll get shot, don't go here you'll get stung, don't go here you’ll drown blah blah blah I didn’t listen much because I knew I would be fine, hopefully. After the speech was over we went outside to look at the tree houses Ian and Cutter built. I couldn’t get into the higher one if my life depended on it, but Lucas and Ian could. Suddenly Ian’s mom called for us, it was time to go go carting. I was so excited I could feel the chills go down my spine then back up again. The drive to the go-karting place was a short hour's ride. When we walked inside we ran to the window and saw racers that were very fast.
Lucas, Charlie, Cutter, and Caroline who is Ian’s sister were so interested because it was their first time there. At the front desk the woman asked us what we wanted to name our karts, I called mine fishguts21, Ian called his Dark helmet, Lucas was toast II, Charlie was toast, and Cutter was Ducky MOMO!!!
Right after we named our carts the people at the front desk brought us into a room where we learned what all the flags meant. When the video finished we were escorted to a huge room where there was a table and pizza. We were in the room for a while until our tickets were called and it was time to go to the inside track. At the pit crew area we got all geared up and for some reason I was two sizes bigger than Charlie, Ian, and Lucas. When we were about to hand our tickets to the man Ian’s mom had us all take a picture before we got on the track. Then we gave our tickets to two of the men who helped us get seated correctly into our karts. About thirty seconds later the worker gave us instructions and then let us enter the cars, from that moment on I knew this would be a great race.
Ian and I were let out first, then Charlie and Lucas and lastly Cutter. Ian and I were the only ones who were really far ahead because we had actually experienced go-karting before while Lucas, Cutter, and Charlie hadn’t. Before I knew it I had lapped Cutter, Lucas, and Charlie. Ian was still ahead but not by far because he was let out five seconds before me.
Then crash, Charlie had collided with me and ruined my best time, I hit the wall so hard I felt like I had crushed my back in a cement sandwich. Then Cutter passed me without hitting my car, suddenly Lucas was driving through. Crack!, I thought I had cracked my back for sure, all of a sudden at the worst time the pit stop man came to free us, in my head i said you couldn’t have come earlier. Then I was back on the track racing my butt off to catch back up to Ian. Before I knew it I was back head to head with Lucas on the last lap, until the pit stop guy put out the yellow flag and said “ the race is over pull your cart in,” I sighed because I thought I had lost my best time.
When we got inside the big area with the table and pizza, we asked the lady if she could bring out the race chart and she did. When we took a look at the chart it said I had won! I was so excited because I had thought I had lost my best time but I hadn’t. All of a sudden at the bottom of the page, there was a best time of the day chart and me and Ian were on it. I felt so proud. While we were waiting for the race to call our ticket numbers me and Charlie couldn’t get over the crash I thought he crashed into me and he thought I crashed into him so then we settled on we crashed into each other.
It was time for us to go out. Our ticket numbers had been called so we went out through the doors, over the bridge and into the pit stop area. Once again I had a two size bigger helmet than everyone else. Luckily though, I was the first one to a car but because Ian was the birthday boy I had the second car. What really made this race hard was that Ian’s dad was racing in this one. I thought to myself this would be an easy race until it wasn’t.
As the man let us out for the first three minutes he was on my tail until I got a little speed on him because of the sharp turns I made. Then I noticed he slowed down suddenly, I knew why, CRASH! I was going way too fast on my turns and ran into the wall. It took the man forever to get to my cart and free me. Lucas had passed me right as the man freed me. I tried to pass him, I tried to, but he took up the whole entire lane. After the whole race was over the man put out the pitstop yellow flag and told us to pull in.
We went to the big table area and sat down to eat some PIZZZZZZZA! It was so good, like heaven in my mouth. Soon after we were all done it was time for CAAAAAAKE! It was a half vanilla, half chocolate cake and since I didn’t like chocolate I only ate the bottom half which was the vanilla part. Right after we finished the cake we ran to the motorcycle simulator and had so much fun even though there was no money in it.
On the way back in the car we made fun of each other about how horrible we all were. Then Lucas did a Yo MAMA to me and I just couldn’t resist so I did a Yo MAMA to him then the whole car ride back to Ian’s house we all did Yo MAMA’s. When we got back to Ian’s house we put all of our stuff down and ran upstairs to the FORTRESS ROOM!!!
We got into our positions, I was on top of the table in a crouched position. The only person I could see was Lucas who was halfway underneath the covers next to the sofa. The cool thing about the Nerf war was that it was when it was dark out with no lights on, so it was pitch black. My gun was a Modulus which acted like a sniper. Lucas’s was a strife which acted like a much bigger pistol. Ian’s was a Retaliator which was the size of a shotgun. Lastly, Charlie had a Strong arm which acted like a pistol.
The game had begun, Lucas and I were having a shoot off. It was so funny because I was using the side of my gun as a shield so he couldn’t hit me and he kept on ducking underneath the blanket protecting the lower part of his body. Suddenly, somehow at the same time we shot each other right in the stomach, we both backed off. Right then I was out of ammo, I crawled around looking for a bullet until straight out of nowhere I found one right in front of me.
It was around halfway through the battle Charlie and Cutter both got shot in the head. Lucas and I were still fighting each other and Ian had made his way over to a place where he could shoot me, he did, and I was out. It was now between Lucas, Charlie and Ian. Charlie shot Lucas in the head so it was a battle between Charlie and Ian. They both went under the tunnels we built out of blankets. In a rush Ian came out of the tunnels, he saw Charlie’s back side and the shot him. Ian had won. In the second round I won with a lucky scope shot on Lucas. In the third round Ian won again with a shot on Charlie. In the fourth round Lucas won with an amazing, no aim shot on Ian. Lastly, in the fifth round Charlie and I were the last ones standing but Charlie had gotten a shot on me and won.We all realized that it was now time for a PILLOW FIGHT!!!
I ran into Ian’s bedroom to get my pillow. When I got back with Lucas I ran into Charlie and hit him as hard as I could with my pillow. It was complete chaos. Charlie fell to the ground, I knew it was my time to go in for the kill, so I hit harder. I hit him so hard that he couldn’t get back up, he was almost glued to the ground. The face was the sweet spot, I hit him for an easy thirty seconds until I tripped on Lucas, Charlie got up and tried to hit me but I rolled to the left and he missed.I got up and started to hit Lucas who was hitting Ian, who was hitting Charlie, who was hitting me. It was like a circle of hitting.
SMACK! Lucas had turned over and hit me, in fact everyone was after me. I jumped over the smaller couch to get my gun and told them all to put their hands in the air, but for fun I shot Lucas. I dropped my gun and ran but Lucas jumped from the couch onto my back and I tumbled onto the ground and he beat me until I couldn’t feel my back. Suddenly Ian’s mom came in and said “ Time to clean this mess up”, which we did. It took us a solid six - seven minutes to clean the place up but we got the job done.
When we finished cleaning up we brought our sleeping bags into the big upstairs playroom where we all decided to sleep. Ian set up the anki overdrive while Cutter and I watched youtube on my ipad. When Ian set it up I joined the party he created to play anki, I was the small blue car, Charlie was the green one and Ian was the red one. When the game started I was losing by a lot. By the second lap Charlie and Ian were on their fourth or fifth. At the end of the race I lost by a lot and then right at the end it said low battery, so then I realized that is why my car wasn’t fast.
By the second round I didn’t play, Lucas used Ian’s ipad and he raced Charlie who had won the last round. While they were doing that I was watching practical jokers. It was so funny, at the end of the second round Charlie had won. Ian’s mom came in and said it was time for bed. So we shut off everything and put it all away. Cutter fell asleep so fast.
When Cutter fell asleep it was like the games had just begun. We had a huge war. We started punching and kicking each other until we said it’s late, we should stop and so we did until I said “ Oh I left my water on the table over there let me go get it.” Instead of getting my water I got a flashlight and snuck up behind Lucas and Ian because they both shared the small couch. I jumped onto the top part, well, more like climbed to the top part of the couch silently and flashed the lights in their face, they got so mad. I ran back to my long sided couch and said “Charlie protect me”. We had teams, so Charlie and I were against Ian and Lucas, Cutter was sound asleep so he didn’t play. Charlie stopped them from getting to me until Lucas made his way over and I threw the flashlight behind the wall and the whole thing ended until.
I went to the table and got the other flashlight, whispered to Charlie “On my count shine this in their faces” then I ran back over to my side, grabbed the flashlight from behind the wall and on my count he shined it. Basically the same thing happened last time except this time Charlie got up and Lucas jumped on top of him. When Charlie got back up he had a bloody nose so then we fixed him up and Lucas went to sleep. It was just Ian, Charlie and myself left awake. We started talking about random things for a while and finally decided to go to sleep at twelve o’clock. Later that night when I was sure they were all asleep Ian’s mom came in and put sheets over Ian and Lucas, then left. Then I caught the Z’s ZZZ.
When I woke up the next morning Lucas and Ian were already up silently talking then Charlie woke up right after me. Lastly, Cutter woke up and he said the funniest thing, he said “I woke up because of the alarm clock”. It was so funny because I didn’t wake up from the alarm clock which was on one volume on my head and Cutter woke up from it. It was unbelievable, because the night before in our fights I accidently stepped on Cutter’s face ad he still didn’t wake up.
We got changed into our morning clothes and ran downstairs to eat breakfast. We had pancakes and sausages, they were delicious. After breakfast was over we went outside to play Man Hunt. I started out as being it, so I counted to sixty and ran to find them. I ran down the driveway to the backyard where they were hiding. Charlie, Caroline and Cutter were running around Cutter and Caroline's grandparents house. Eventually I gave up on them. I tried to get Ian and Lucas in the tree which I could not climb.
I tried two times until I found my own way to do it and I trapped them up there. Eventually I got up and tagged them. I stood up there for the rest of the round and let them get everyone else. At the beginning of the next round I climbed even higher into the tree and at the end of the round I got tagged. When we got back inside we tried out a new game where one team built a fortress and the other team had to break it down. We broke down half of it, then it was our turn to build one. Before they broke down the whole fortress I had to go, it was sad, but I packed up all of my stuff and left.
The end
