One Way Forward

     Ally, Cassi, and Mike all woke up to the beautiful morning to the last day of school. The three friends have known each other since they were born, and have lived next to each other for the last 14 years. They all live in sunny, bright, Miami, Florida. They also all have one thing in common, they love mysteries and adventures. I’m not talking about books and movies; I’m talking about getting sandy and dirty. So far they have looked on the beach for treasure, and some old, unsolved mysteries around town.
There is one thing, though, that they were looking forward to the most; tlQueen Elizabeth’s old sunken ship. There was a problem though, the ship was almost 10 miles offshore, and the cost of the boat just to rent it for the day was around $400. After school, they all take their time to tell their parents about their journey. “please mom PLEASE?” Ally begged in agony when she asked her mom. “Ally, no $150 is just too much money, and it’s too dangerous to go by yourselves!”. “Mom, dad, I really want to do this, this stuff is my life!”. Mike, just stop with all this non-sense, and do something good that will give you good, hard earned money.” Yelled his parents one by one as he rumbled up to his room. “Thanks mom!” Cassi said with a big smile on her face as her mother wrote the check with ease. “Anything for my little princess!” said her mother back.
       They soon met at their spot, in front of Harry’s Fish Boats and put all the money they all possibly could to go into the boat rental. “Yes! We have just enough money to have to boat for at least 3 ½ hours.” Whispered Ally with happiness. They next day, all three of them got up at the same time, 7:00 sharp, and met at Harry’s Fish Boats at the crack of dawn. “ Well, what can I do for you little fellers?” asked Harry with a smile. “ We were wondering if we could have the smallest boat for at least three hours.” Said Ally, acting like a professional. Sure, you just have to pay the rent, that will be $359. Not making any faces, they quickly snatched the money from there backpacks and put it on the high counter top.
“All right, you guys have to money, lot 6 is your boat have fun!” said Harry as he was waving them good bye. In at least 20 minutes they reached the spot where the ship has sunk, and could even see a giant, oily looking patch that was the boat. They quickly got on some scuba gear that they stole from their parents and went in the water. Cassi stayed up top on the boat, to make sure nothing happens. Ally and Mike went deeper, and explored the ship with gentle care. Through the ship, they saw beautiful and glowing fish, and Ally jumped when she saw a 5 foot long Barracuda slither by her, giving her an evil, devious look as it swam by her. Mike nearly passed out when he saw an actual hammerhead shark 10 feet away from him. They both looked at each other and thought it was cooler and more frightening than the aquarium.
They soon got to work, bringing and carrying anything that was valuable and worth the money up to the ship with Cassi. “All right guys, our time is nearly up and the ship is full of things we need to look at, we will finish another day. As Mike and Ally crawled up and onto the boat, the boat revved up and went back to the rental shop, they were caught by the police when they entered their station, not for being terrible and lying to their parents, but for helping and saving some of the most valuable things in Florida. They were now known for being heroes and adventures. By Alex S
