There are some really great mini challenges for this LoveAThon, and so I'm back with my second of the day! This is the Mad Lib Challenge, and so, here we go! If you aren't familiar with mad libs, or it's been awhile, basically I've picked random words with prompts (for example, I'm asked for an adjective and I say old) without knowing how they'll be put into a story. If you want to do this, pick the needed words without seeing how they fit into the story, then put them in and let me know what your story says in the comments!
Ok, are you ready? Here's the story without my words in.
One day, I was VERB ENDING IN -ING with BOOK
BOYFRIEND #1. Out of the blue, a NOUN came
out of nowhere! It was so ADJECTIVE, ADJECTIVE and ADJECTIVE.
At first, we were afraid, we were petrified, but we PAST TENSE VERB. We
hopped on RANDOM MODE OF TRANSPORTATION to make our
getaway.
As we escaped, we turned up the radio because A
CATCHY TUNE came on and made me VERB.
Everything was extremely smooth sailing until an ANIMAL appeared
in the middle of the road. We swerved to avoid it, but while BOOK
BOYFRIEND #1 stayed on SAME RANDOM MODE OF
TRANSPORTATION, I got thrown onto my side in the woods.
I couldn't get up, and felt ADJECTIVE as
I lay there staring up at the trees. What was I going to do? I heard a
WORD DESCRIBING A SOUND among the leaves, and felt EMOTION.
Surely, this was going to be my end. As my eyes fluttered shut, the last thing
I saw was a head of COLOR hair and COLOR eyes.
When I woke up again, I was on a PIECE OF
FURNITURE. My body hurt a whole lot less, and I could sit up. There was
a NOUN and NOUN in the room,
along with FOOD and DRINK. The door
suddenly opened to reveal BOOK BOYFRIEND #2, a concerned
look on his face. I blushed and averted my gaze, but he VERB and
said, "Don't be shy. It's okay."
He came over to sit by me, and we started talking after I
told him my name. We chatted about HOBBY 1,HOBBY 2 and HOBBY
3 and realized we had a ton in common! I thought he was ADJECTIVE and
couldn't help feeling a little swoony.
Just as he reached out for my hand, the door crashed open
and in came BOOK BOYFRIEND #3. "Don't let him charm you
away, my love!" He yelled, running at BOOK BOYFRIEND #2.
They each had KITCHENWARE in their hands and began to fight.
"Stop!", I yelled, feeling so EMOTION. They didn't
listen to me. Before I could intervene, BOOK BOYFRIEND #2 fell
to the floor and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"What was that?" I asked, staring at the empty
space. BOOK BOYFRIEND #3 dropped his weapon, and came over
to me. "Magic, but you are safe now, PET NAME." He
hugged me close, and I suddenly knew that this was the real deal and not just a
dream.
Just as LOVE SONG started playing in
my head, I woke up. I cursed my ADJECTIVE luck. Why had it
only been just a dream?
And now, here's my version -
One day, I was reading with Morpheus. Out
of the blue, a tree came out of nowhere! It was
so old, graceful and inconsistent.
At first, we were afraid, we were petrified, but we strolled. We
hopped on Hagrid’s motorcycle to make our
getaway.
As we escaped, we turned up the radio because Best
Day of My Life by American Authors came on and made me leap.
Everything was extremely smooth sailing until an phoenix appeared
in the middle of the road. We swerved to avoid it, but while Morpheus stayed
on Hagrid’s motorcycle, I got thrown onto my side in the
woods.
I couldn't get up, and felt calm as
I lay there staring up at the trees. What was I going to do? I heard a pop among
the leaves, and felt nervous. Surely, this was going to be
my end. As my eyes fluttered shut, the last thing I saw was a head of purple hair
and green eyes.
When I woke up again, I was on a couch.
My body hurt a whole lot less, and I could sit up. There was a cat and jump
rope in the room, along with pizza and green
tea. The door suddenly opened to reveal Captain Thorne from
the Lunar Chronicles, a concerned look on his face. I blushed and
averted my gaze, but he blinked and said, "Don't be
shy. It's okay."
He came over to sit by me, and we started talking after I
told him my name. We chatted about making flower crowns,skydiving and book
blogging and realized we had a ton in common! I thought he
was nice and couldn't help feeling a little
swoony.
Just as he reached out for my hand, the door crashed open
and in came Sam from Incarnate. "Don't let him charm you
away, my love!" He yelled, running at Thorne. They each had forks in
their hands and began to fight. "Stop!", I yelled, feeling so puzzled.
They didn't listen to me. Before I could intervene, Thorne fell
to the floor and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"What was that?" I asked, staring at the empty
space. Sam dropped his weapon, and came over to me.
"Magic, but you are safe now, dear." He hugged me
close, and I suddenly knew that this was the real deal and not just a dream.
Just as I See the Light from Tangled started
playing in my head, I woke up. I cursed my makeshift luck.
Why had it only been just a dream?
From the paper world,
