Amazing Things Can Happen
Once upon a time, 3 girls named Megan, Angela, and Kristina were exploring in Megan's backyard in Los Angeles. They noticed a small passage in the woods and decided to check it out. It was a small, small path, almost too small for them to fit into. If only they knew what they were gonna find there.
When they got in, it was a small room-like structure surrounded by wood. They stood around for a few minutes and looked around. There was some rustling in the trees behind them. They turned around and saw a small squirrel running out of the tree. The squirrel went to another small passage way. They decided to follow it.
The squirrel led them to a trail. The squirrel was running too fast so they lost it. They just kept on following the trail. The trail was long and narrow. It was getting darker and darker, the girls were starting to worry but kept trudging on. After what seemed like hours, they finally came to an open field.
The field was full of weeds and wildflowers. They looked down and noticed that they were walking on a railroad track. There must have been a train going through there a few years before because it wasn't rusty. They saw the squirrel again and they followed it. They continued walking on the railroad track when they noticed a castle a few miles away in the distance.
They took a turn to go look at the castle. It was big and blue. It was surrounded by flowers and bushes. They finally reached the castle. They looked up in amazement at how big it was. They were really curious about who was in there. They walked up to the door and knocked on it. It slowly creaked open.
They walked into the castle. They saw nobody that could have open the door but they did hear soft music. They walked into what looked like the dining room. It was huge. They continued walking. The music became louder. They heard laughter and somebody saying something. They got to the door that they heard the music from. They knocked on the door and someone swung it open.
It was a man they all recognized as Mark McGrath, and behind him was the rest of Sugar Ray. All being Sugar Ray freaks, they all freaked out. Sugar Ray lived there! They couldn't believe it. They had been walking all day and only got to Newport Beach.
The moral of the story is that they didn't walk all day, they were driving because it's about 45 miles from Los Angeles to Newport Beach. The power of their imaginations took them a long way. And they all lived happily ever after.
