#4 Flappy Eagle Contest

Hitchhiker: Ok, how about Ralph decides?

Me: Ok. What's your name anyway?

Hitchhiker: Aidan.

 Ralph looked at me.

 Ralph looked at him.

I was so sure at that moment he would choose me.

 Then he said, "Family." and went to Aidan.

They went away. My dad came up to me. I didn't cry, but I looked sad.

How did you get Ralph? I asked. I told him what Aidan had told me.

"I got Ralph at the pet store!" he said. "He was just born. Aidan lied! He couldn't remember anything because nothing had happened yet!"

Me: What?!?

 My dad took my football.

 Took a good throw. Ralph: Ow!

I finally got Aidan after i chased him around. (Four leaved clover.)

 Aidan: It's true. I lied. I'm not his family.

I tried to imagine Ralph's real dad.

I had something else to think about though.

The yearly flappy eagle competition!

The prize was a phantom in an electrical box. XD

Eight contestants. I got in though. I just... got in.

The first animal went.

Then the second.

Then I went third. I really wanted that prize. I got eleven flaps. Not my best, but in first.

I watched another animal go.

Then a red monkey went, and got eighteen.

 I was disappointed, because that was a cool phantom, but I just said "Good job!"

Then I noticed mom was there. I have NO idea how she got in, but I definitely want her to win.

The rhine and seal went, but the red monkey was still in the lead.

Mom: Let's see, how do you start it.

Me: You press the big green button that says start.

Mom: What are the controls?

 I explain the game to her. And she starts.

She fails. She doesn't even make it to the cactuses. She hits the ground.

Mom: That was a practice round!

Judges: Ok, one more time.

I go do the right thing.

Now she's going. One. Two. Three. She get fifty eight.

Mom: Wow! Look at the phantom. I think it's real. Awesome!

It is pretty cool. I'm glad mom won, but I'm a little jealous...

Mom: I'll put it inside...

Me: WAIT IT'S ELECTRICAL!!

It was too late.
