Building an Adventure
When Olivia got home from the store, she was dying to build her new Lego hotel set. She bought it with a gift card she got for Christmas, and she was very excited to add it to her Lego town. She started building right after she finished lunch. In the middle of building, she noticed a strange Lego brick. For some reason, it was glowing. Olivia reached over her hand to touch it, and with a sparkle, a flash, and three fireworks, Olivia was a Lego!
Olivia had always wanted to explore the same things her Legos did, but she never expected to actually become a Lego! Olivia couldn’t move her elbows or her knees. In fact, she didn’t even have elbows or knees. She tried not to think about the fact that there was really no way out of this situation, so she walked stiffly over to the grocery store.
“Everyone is smiling,” Olivia thought. “Well, it’s probably hard not to smile when you’re stuck smiling for the rest of your life.”
Olivia picked up a piece of plastic food. “Is this really what they eat?” she thought. She tried to bite it, but it hurt her teeth. “OW!” Olivia yelled. A Lego person walked over to her. “What should I say? What should I do?” thought Olivia. She was so nervous she fell over and couldn’t get back up.
“Are you OK?” asked the Lego person. “I’m Matthew,” he said. Matthew helped Olivia to her feet. Olivia was so scared she couldn’t talk, so she walked out of the store.
“I’m glad I made it out of there!” Olivia said as she looked up and saw the mall. “There’s got to be something here to help me,” Olivia said as she stood in the mall parking lot. She thought about how small the parking lot looked.
“So, where should I go?” Olivia thought. Then she saw a clothing store out of the corner of her eye. “Yes!!” Olivia said a little bit loudly, because she loved buying clothes almost as much as buying Legos. “The perfect place for me to go!” she said, and almost forgot that she was a Lego!
Olivia walked into the store and looked around. She saw all the clothes and almost screamed, but held it in. Every piece of clothing had a neck and arms attached to it! She remembered that’s how Lego clothes worked, but she didn’t really want to try any on. She decided she would rather keep her own body all together, even if she was made of Lego pieces now.
Olivia walked over to a window in the clothing store. She finally saw the hotel she was building when all of this happened! There were construction workers all around, building it. Even though there was caution tape blocking her way, she still ran as fast as she could into the hotel, but it was slow without knees. She knew she had to find the glowing brick. Maybe if she touched it again, she would go back to normal.
Olivia looked all around for the brick. Then, she saw it, all the way across the long hallway on the first floor that was already built. She heard construction worker footsteps coming. She knew she had to hurry, so she ran as fast as she could down the hallway.
Olivia heard someone say, “Hey you, this is a construction site. Hardhat workers only! You need to leave right away!” But, Olivia kept on going. She knew she would never get home unless she touched the glowing brick. Olivia was 3 rooms away from the brick when her foot got caught on the Lego floor. She was stuck.
Olivia pulled as hard as she could to get free, and just as the construction worker was coming to get her, she pulled the Lego brick up and ran the rest of the way with it stuck to her foot. She got to the glowing brick and touched it. With a sparkle, a flash, and three fireworks, Olivia was herself again!
Olivia felt funny. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. “Was I really a Lego?” she thought. She looked down at her Lego hotel. She didn’t see a glowing brick. “Maybe I just imagined all that,” she thought.
Olivia noticed part of the floor of the hotel hallway was missing. Then she felt something inside her slipper. She reached inside and found the missing piece to the hallway floor and knew it had actually happened.
Olivia heard her mom calling her for dinner “Just in time,” she thought. Olivia ran downstairs to dinner.
“Where have you been all this time?” asked Olivia’s mom. Olivia told her mom what had happened from beginning to end. “Oh Olivia,” her mom said. “You’re so creative, that’s why you’re so good at Legos!”
After dinner Olivia played with her Legos and looked at all the places she went to in her Lego town. Olivia was proud she was the only person in the world to become a Lego for a day...or was she?
The End
