A Closet Surprise
“Let’s play Hide and Go Seek”, is what started the adventure. It was my cousin Hanna who came up with the idea. We always got really bored at Family get tog ether’s, but this time would be different. My cousin Steve tried to get us to do something else because he thought that Hide and Go Seek was boring, but Hanna and I were only eight, and Steve was only ten. Since Steve was letting us play Hide and Go Seek, we had to get all the kids together. All six of them, including us. After we gathered up all of the cousins, Kaylee, Steve, Hanna, Nikki, Dominic, and I. We all went up the stairs and into the guest bedroom where we would decide who was going to have to come find us. It ended up being Dominic, the youngest of course, and at only age seven he got really upset and said that he wasn’t going to play, but Nikki, being the oldest got him to calm down and just do it.
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5…” That was our cue to start looking for a good hiding place, which wouldn’t be too hard, my grandma’s house had tons of great spots. Hanna and I decided we would try to find a spot in my grandma’s bedroom which was bigger then my house. I came up with the idea of hiding in the closet so Hanna followed me. When we first walked in it just looked like a normal size closet. Then all of a sudden the closet turned into a huge shopping mall filled with elderly women’s clothing. We ran into sears and looked for the dressing rooms so we could hide in one of them. Then we heard Dominic on the loud speaker saying “ready or not here I come.” So we ran into the nearest one. Then we thought we heard something so we quickly ran out of the store and into the main part of the mall.
We hid behind the water fountain shaped as a whale. It was so huge that it had to be the same size as a literal whale. The water that was spewing out was like a huge wave crashing into the ocean every time it landed it the bottom. Then all of a sudden we saw Dominic coming so we sprinted away to keep from being found. We were running faster than a Cheetah chasing its pray.
We finally found a great spot to hide behind the shoe rack which stood taller then a skyscraper and wider then the biggest boat you’ve ever seen. Then we decided we didn’t fit so we tried to find somewhere else to hide outside of the closet, in the bathroom. We just couldn’t let Dominic see us. When we ran out of the closet we passed Nikki and Kaylee sitting on the ground who told us Dominic had found them and He was in the spare bedroom looking for Steve. That’s when we heard a loud crash come from the spare bedroom and my grandma come up the stairs looking as mad as a Wolverine who just lost it’s prey. Then we saw Steve coming out of the bedroom laughing harder than a Hienah, but when he saw my grandma’s face he stopped and looked really scared.
I guess what happened was Steve thought that it would be funny to hide and then push Dominic when he got in the room. Well it clearly worked, but the only one laughing was him. It turns out when he pushed Dominic into the nightstand, which had a glass light and a fancy alarm clock that must have belonged to the Queen of England. They both shattered into a million tiny pieces when they hit the hardwood floor. It took Grandma twenty minutes to get it all cleaned up. Steve was also grounded. All in All it was a fun time, but Steve never wanted to play Hide and Seek with Dominic ever again.
