The Best Decision

Today was an awesome day. My name is Zen. I am currently 15 years old. I live in Ontario, Canada. I plan to visit my friends, Matthew and Michael. But before that, I needed to go to my Grandma’s house first to give her muffins, cupcakes, and some other delicious foods. 

“Hello, Grandma,” I said.

“Hello Grandson,” she said. 

“I brought your food.”

“Thanks,” she said.

She opened the basket and brought out all the food that I had for her.

“Thank you, dear,” she said, smiling at me.

“You’re Welcome,”  I said.

She opened the basket and she started eating the things that I gave her. After that, she was smiling gleefully and enjoyed her meals.

“So, where are you going next?” she asked.

“I am going to my friend’s house,” I said.

“Okay, great. I hope that everything is alright, with you and your friends.”

“Thanks, Grandma. You’re the best.”

“You’re Welcome.”

“Bye.”

“Bye.”

As I hugged my Grandma, and headed back outside, I began to talk to my friend's house.

I opened the door and there they were.

“Hi, Zen,” said Michael.

“Hi,” I said.

“Are you happy to be here?” said Matthew.

“Yup.”

“Come on, let’s go to the Soccer Field, then the Basketball Field, and then the Tennis Field.”

“Cool,” they said.

“Do you have your things ready?” Matthew asked.

“Yes,” I said.

“Cool. Let’s go,” said Michael.

As we headed off to the Soccer Field, we saw many boys and girls there playing with each other.

“Cool,” said Matthew.

“Let’s put down our things there,” said Michael.

“Sure.”

As we put down our things, we then took our Soccer shoes and placed them in the appropriate place.

“Let’s take them out,” said Matthew.

We took out our soccer shoes and started to wear them, peacefully. It was relaxing.

We started to see two girls playing against each other. Then, two boys played against each other.

“This is so cool,” said Michael. “I can’t wait to play with them.”

“Yes, totally cool,” I said. “Come on.”

“Yes.”

We put on our shoes and headed off into the Field. 

The boys and girls played together as usual. 

“Hello,” said the boys.

“Hello,” said the girls.

“Hey, guys,” said everyone. 

We were playing ball by now, but we had to pass the ball to each other.

“Come on, guys, let’s play a soccer game.”

“Sure,” they said.

We tossed the ball to each other and made sure that the ball was slow and steady.

“Come one, pass the ball to me,” I said.

“Sure. We’ll pass it to you,” said Matthew.

“Come on, pass the ball to me,” said Michael.

I passed the ball to Michael. He tossed it into the air.

“Cool, now pass the ball to me,” I said.

He passed the ball to me and I shot into the Goal.

“Good job, dude,”  said Matthew.

“You’re awesome,” said Michael.

They gave me high-fives and taps on the back.

After 3-5 rounds, we were really tired and decided to head off back home to eat some lunch.

“Who boy are we hungry,” said Matthew. He took a big bite of his burger and a sip of his Coke.

“Yeah, that is why we are eating a lot,” I said.

“Cool,” said Michael.

“Awesome,” said Matthew.

Then, suddenly the phone rang.

“Wonder who it is,” I said.

“Same,” said Matthew.

“I hope it’s not a stranger,” said Michael.

“Why would you think it’s a stranger?” said Michael.

“Because strangers freak me out,” said Matthew.

The phone rang again. Frequently.

Slowly, I walked and picked it up.

“Hello?” I said.

“Come to my house, now,” said the voice and bring your friends.”

“What! Who is this?” he asked.

“This is none of your concern. Come to my house now.”

“No!”

“Yes.”

“Who are you? What do you want from me?”

“Come to my house.”

“I don't know who you are.”

“Fine, then, I will come to your house and pick you and your friends up.”

He hung up.

I put the phone down and looked at my friends.

“Zen, who was it?” he asked.

“I have no idea,” I said. “But he said that he will come to our house.”

“What?”

“But we don’t know him.”

“Yeah, I know, but he said that he is coming.”

“What will he do?”

“He said that he would pick us up.”

“What????!!!” shrieked Michael. “But we have no idea who this guy is.”

“I know, but it is just so confusing.”

“We should call the police. He might be a kidnapper,” said Matthew.

“Yes, definitely.”

I picked up the phone, but suddenly, a man came to our house without knocking the door.

I gasped.

“I told you I would come,” he said.

“Who are you!?” I yelled.

But he didn’t answer. He ran after us and tied us to the ropes.

I immediately blacked out and fainted.

After a very long time, we woke up to a different location.

“W-Where are we?” I asked.

“You are at a different place now,” said a voice. “My house.”

I turned around and saw him.

“Your house?”

“Yes.”

This time,  I got made. Very mad.

“Who are you?!” I yelled.

“Quiet! I came to get you and your friends for an important decision.”

“What?”

“You will choose these three things to pick.”

He showed us three things.

“What?”

“I am giving you powers.”

“What?”

“I want you to choose the powers that I give you.”

“Really?”

“Yes,” he said.

Then suddenly a girl came to us. 

“Hello, uncle,” she said.

“Hello, dear,” he said.

Then she saw us.

“Who are these boys, uncle?” she asked.

“These are my chosen ones. I am giving them powers.”

“Really that is so cool. Uncle, are these only for them?”

“Yes.”

“Okay,” she said. Then she waved at us.

“Hi, guys,” she said.

“Hi,” we said.

Then she walked off.

“So what powers are you going to give us?” I asked.

“I will give you the powers of speed, flight, or invisibility. You will choose one of these powers and all of you will have it.”

“Really?” we asked. 

Rally.”

This time, I was concerned that he was not human.

“Wait, are you human, or not?” I asked.

“I am not a human. I am in fact a sorcerer of powers. I give powers to people I choose.”

“Really? Then why did you choose us?”

“Because you boys are special and amazing. Even at football.”

“Thanks. But what about your niece?”

“Oh, she is also the same as me. A sorceress.”

“Cool,” we said.

“So now, which power do you want?”

“The speed one,” said Michael.

“The flight one,” said Matthew.

“No, I am only asking Zen,” said the sorcerer.

Matthew and Michael huffed.

“Hmmmmm, I am not sure.”

“Choose now.”

“Really. Is there a time limit?”

“No.”

“Then why so fast?”

“Because I want you to be quick,” he said. “Now hurry.”

“Okay.”

I used my imagination skills to see which one would be the best power.

“I would choose the…... invisible one.”

“What!” shrieked my friends.

“Why that power?” asked Michael.

“What does that power do for, anyway?” asked Matthew.

“It helps us hide more quickly. When someone comes after us, we will hide.”

“Okay, cool.”

“Why not speed and flight?” ask Michael and Matthew.

“If we choose speed, we may crash into something and we may be injured. If we choose flight, we crash into a plane and something worse would happen. We could fall down and probably pass away.”

“Oh,” they said.

“That’s why the safest power is invisibility. Because if we want to hide, it would protect us.”

“Cool,” they said.

“I will choose invisibility,” I said.

“Here you go,” he said.

He gave us the power of invisibility after he untied our ropes.

“Thanks,” I said. 

“You are welcome,” he said.

Then  we started to try our Powers and it totally worked. We couldn't even see each other.

After a good experience we finally relaxed and stopped using our powers.

Then we turned to the man.

“Thanks,” I said.

“You are Welcome. You can use this power to protect yourself and others from harm. But use them wisely. This is a very important power. Do not use it for playing. These powers have important consequences and they will be used for special occasions. These powers are very important, so use them for the good.” If you mess with these powers, you will mess with your life.”

“Really?” we asked.

“Really.”

“We will,” we said.

“And also, sorry for treating you so badly earlier. But I was afraid that you would not trust me. I needed you guys, but I had a rough day because all the magic and spells that I casted were bothering me.”

“It’s alright. At least you didn’t harm us.”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Bye! Have a good day.”

“You too.”

Before we left, his niece came back and gave all of us a hug.

“I hope you use your powers for good,” she said.

“Yes,” we said.

Then suddenly  forgot to ask his name as well as his niece’s.

“Um, what are your names?” I asked.

He was shocked.

“Oh, my name is Lenzo,” said the man.

“My name is Phebe,” said his niece.

“Okay,” I said. “That’s what I would like to hear.”

They smiled.

“Have a good day and use your powers for good!” called out Lenzo.

“We would!” We called back.

“Have fun,” called out Phebe.

“We would!” We called back.

As soon as the sun set, we ran off with our powers to stop any harm from this world.
