It was my first time on stage in front of so many people, and I was super nervous. We were 5 minutes until the show, when all the trouble started.
It started when the lighting in the theatre burned out. Then the concession stand ran out of popcorn, the manager got into a fight with one of the spectators, and the curtain fell with me still behind it. I just stood there, terrified and I thought, "Well what a start."
The angry audience laughed and the emergency lights came on. I knew they were expecting me to say something, but I was so nervous, I forgot my line...

Alot can happen in 2 minutes...
When this crowd started cheering for me it felt awesome, now its just annoying.
Its almost impossible to concentrate on playing basketball when every 2 seconds someone calls your name or tries to take your picture.
Normally, I ignore it, but today my team and I need to focus and win the money because if we don't, we might never play again.
2 minutes left. The score is 8-7 and the crowd is even louder. All my team has to do is defend for 2 more minutes.
The other team stole the ball. The crowd sounds like they are booing. 8-9, and my team is barley moving. I have to fix this. The ball is in my hands, and I have a clear shot.
Missed because of a picture. 30 seconds left. 10 seconds. 5 seconds. I think its going in and...

The Black Flamingo
After a week of searching the southern coasts of Cyprus, I finally found the rare Black Flamingo! It was a relief and an extraordinary sight.
I was relieved because before I came to Cyprus, I bragged to everyone I knew that I had a picture of this amazing creature.
I was ecstatic! I quickly reached for my camera, but my bag was empty.
Panicking, I looked around to see if I dropped it, only to see it underneath the flamingos foot. The flamingo poked it before kicking it into the middle of the lake it standing was in....

A Scary Lab Accident
I looked around, shocked to see where I was. I was supposed to be in a lab working on a teleporter, but I ended up teleporting myself.
I was obviously on another planet because it had red circle shaped grass, a green sky, and 4 purple plants. It looked like that was all there was for miles.
I knew I had to find a way home before I met any aliens, and my teleporter needed water to work, so I started walking.
I walked for about 10 minutes before I found a small lake. Running up to it felt strange, and as I stared into the water, it began to turn green.
That was when I noticed something staring at me...

The Amazing Race
I needed to win this race.
The prize was 500,000 dollars and I needed it I wanted the only hospital in the area to stay open.
It was torture to wait for the race to start, especially with everyone I know watching.
"BANG!"
I started to sprint as soon as I heard the first gun shot. I was going so fast, I did not even notice the audience panicking in the stands.
The other racers were getting closer. The gunmen were starting to aim for the track.
I could see the finish line, then every thing went black.
When I woke up, I saw a picture of my hand passing the finish line.

The Door Is Right!
"Welcome back to another thrilling episode of 'The Door is Right!' the show where we challenge the minds of even the smartest contests! Today, we are testing the mind of Diljeet Kaur!"
I peeked through the purple velvet curtains. There was a full (and very loud) audience, watching a wooden stage with a microphone stand and a platform for the Host. Behind the Host were two doors, one purple, and one blue. I had to chose one, if I was right, I would win a huge pile of cash, but if I was wrong, I would have to swim with a dozen sharks for an hour.
It seemed simple enough , but how would I know which one was right?

Fireflies
"Crack! Rrrrrip! "
"What was that!?" I screamed, as I looked down and saw that a branch ripped the skin of my leg off.
"Are you ok?" my friend asked, looking terrified at my leg,
An hour ago we were walking along a trail in the forest and decided to explore a path that was off the map. We knew the way back out, but it was too dark to see anything.
"Where are the bandages?" I asked.
"We didn't bring any."
Suddenly, as if they could hear us, thousands of fireflies came carrying a piece of silk cloth.
We used it as a bandage as they lit our way to safety.
