=Exposition/Inciting Incident=

I'm Phillip I live and Brooklawn which is a small town in Washington. My best friends name is Terrence. He's kind of a crazy kid who gets in trouble, but finds his way out of it just like me. Terrence had just moved from Springfield, which is in Oregon to Brooklawn the year before and we were already best friends. We did everything together, but nothing as crazy as the day that we would have on this day... Terrence and I decided to go back to his house and just hang out little did we know what would actually happen. "Phillip come on we are going to Drug Fair!" He exclaimed. "Why do we have to? We always go where you want to go and we get lost or we get in trouble!" I said and it was true I can't remember a time in the last two years I've been friends with Terrence that we didn't have something happen that we could've avoided. "I'm hungry and thirsty," he stated. "Fine let's hurry up so we can get to your house" I said doubtfuly. Normally I would be exstatic about going somewhere with Terrence, but I was having a rough day because I forgot to do my homework in Communication Arts and Social Studies and I was tired. Terrence wanted to go really badly though so I agreed As we walk there Terrence is making funny comments and laughing at inside jokes, but I could barely hear him over the loud grumbling of an old 18 wheeler truck and a bunch of pick up trucks that seem to follow us for almost 5 minutes. "I'm so thirsty I could drink the whole ocean!" he yells."But I'm too fat for any sodas," he says sadly. "Your as skinny as a twig, what are you talking about?" I said wondering.Once we finally get there he listens to me and we get Monster energy drinks which were tasty, tangy , sugary , drinks , Twizzlers which were red and I felt like I could eat those cherry strips all day , and Icebreaker mints which taste like a cold winter flurry in your mouth. We were just looking for stuff when a lady thats works there said we were being to wild and we had to leave the store. Terrence said not to though and when she came again he ran so I followed him. "Just come don't be a baby," he whispered.I was so saced and nervous that I was breathing heavy and since I was the taller one she saw me instead of him. I told him to leave so we didn't both get in trouble and regretfully he did. When she found me I talked fast and stuttering over my words and I said it wouldn’t happen again.When I walked out the door Terrence was pacing back and forth outside the front of the rough walls of the store. "I talked my way out of it, but it was a close one ,"I said to Terrenece with great relief. "These Twizzlers are really good and so are these mints," Terrence said. "I know! "I exclaimed.

Terrance suggests that we should go on a so called "journey". I knew it was a bad idea because Terrence seemed to get lost or hurt going the normall way back home, so climbing through trees and sprinting through the woods probably wasn't going to make it better. Instead of going around a pond we go through it instead of going around a fence we go over it. So of course we came opon a lake that was frozen and practically screaming that it was going to break, but because of Terrence's rules we tried to go over it. Looking back on it we proboably should've checked the thickness first "Help!" Terrence screams. He had fallen through the ice and dragged me with him. It was frigid and icey all up our calfs to our knees. Luckily it was only up to there or else we would have been frozen solid. "Oh oh its cold!" I yelled. Terrence thought we should just trudge through the ice, but I knew that wouldn't work " We have to get back on top of the ice to get to the side" I said as calm as possible in these conditions. I pushed Terrenece up, but I couldn't get up. " Just go I'll get myself up," I said " No I'm not going to leave you!" He screamed. He pulls and pulls, but he ways about forty pounds less then me so it was hard. We finally get me on top of the ice. While we walked home shivering, but Terrence was still making me laugh. As we start walking we find something out we didn't relize.We had our phones in our pockets! What were we going to do? What would our parents say? I then noticed that our phones didn't even get wet it was only up to our knees so I wasn't going to die when my parents picked me up. Ring, Ring , Ring. "That's my phone" I said as Terrence reached for his phone too. "Phillip, you have basketball today at 5:30 and it's only 4:00 so you have to be ready , but you have to get a ride to practice because I am in Kentucky for a buisness trip,"he screamed. "Chill out!" I yelled. I thought it would be easy considering I can get a ride to almost any practice because I am good friends with all of the kids and parents on my team so they are used to giving me rides. Of course though no one is answering there phones though and Terrence's parents aren't at the house. When we finally get home Terrence and I put on new clothes and I have to wear his and since he is about 4 ' 8 and I am about 5 ' 6 so the clothes were small, but I didn't complain. Terrence and I went outside after getting dry outside just to ride bikes and skateboards. He finds scarlet red and shimmering gold spray paint cans and says that I should spray paint his skateboard because I am better at it, so I do. I put my shirt over my nose and wear gogles to make sure that no paint gets anywhere. Even through my shirt I could smell the terrible scent of the fumes like a freshly painted house. We hop on and start doing wheelies and Terrence who is absolutly amazing and can do kickflips and grinds. Then we start riding our bikes and skateboards down the street.

=Climax= Terrence said that we were going to go inside in a little while because his sister who's name is Jenn was making pasta. Me and Terrence would always try to invent new tricks and see who could do the highest wheelie, so a 300 yard long strip of assvault was perfect for all of our tricks and stunts. After going around the block about six times we decide to go inside. Terrence starts running and I wondered why and when I turned the corner I got shot with windshield wipper spray. I see another bottle through the cracks of my eyes and pick it up.I spary back and fourth. We shout eachother again and again for about 3 minutes we lurk quietly giggling until our bottles are absolutely empty. Terrence looks at the bottle stuturing. "Oh ,Oh, Oh my gosh," he says. "What is it? I questioned. Don't be a scardey-cat," I said. "It says caution poison do not get in eyes or mouth can cause blindness," he scream. "We have to get in the shower now!" I yelled as I sprinted inside at I could almost taste the salty spary even though my mouth was closed I was imagining it. I ran to one bathroom and Terrence ran to the other. As I'm in the shower I have my eyes and mouth shut just barely breathing out of my nose. I'm scared standing in the shower when I get out I put new clothes on and finally open my eyes, but Terrence is still in the shower. "Can you see?" I said worrying. "Yea how about you?" "Yea,"thank god. When Terrence finally got out he got on new clothes and came down the stairs where I was watching TV by the family's fireplace watching the flames dance and I can almost see Terrence's and my whole day right there almost telling a story in the fire.

=Falling Action=

"Hey, dude that was a really close one that could've been a catastrophie, " Terrence stated, and I agreed. We didn't lose our sight, but it's better to be safe then sorry. My dad called me and said that he could give me a ride. Dinner was ready before my dad arrived and Terrence's parents suggested that I should eat some pasta because that would give me more energy and I couldn't say no to the cheesy thick noodles with sauce in every opening that gushed through my mouth like a waterfall of warm melty goodness. As my dad pulled up you could hear from the inside his loud V8 engine roar down the road as it went down the slick icey assvault. "Bi see you tomarrow at school, " I said as I walk out the door. I see my dad waiting in his car and I wave to him and slowly walk toward his truck. I jump up to the large bed of the pick up then jump down and get in. "What did you and Terrence do today?" My dad asked. "Oh nothing just hang out, " I lied. I had an otustanding time at basketball, but my mind was at the time Terrence and I had all day laughing and having a great time. None of my friends could believe what me and Terrence had went through all day when I told them and they all wish they were there except for the whole spray in our eyes part, but it was still an amazing day. =Resolution= After practice I took at shower then went out to dinner with my whole family. Everyone asked eachother how our days were and everyone seemed to tell the truth when it has my turn I said just another day with Terrence. We ate dinner and went home. Then I did my homework and it was time to go to bed. As I lay on my soft, silky , spring matress and just as I close my eyes... Ring , ring , ring went my phone and when I looked at it it was Terrence i reluctantly picked it up. "Hi," I sighed as I thought about the amazing day. I could almost still taste the cheesy pasta sizzling in my mouth. "Hi do you want to come over tomarrow?" He asked in his high pitched cheery voice. "Are you kidding!?" I exclamied "Yea do you even need to ask?" And he laughed and that's when I thought, what would I do if Terrence never never had moved here from Springfield? What would I do if he wasn't in my fifth grade class? No matter what I'm going through he's always there with the right funny comment to keep me going in th right direction. When it's tough he will always stand by me if I'm in a fight, having an arguement , or just angry he will always stand by me. He's my best friend.
