Life, Death, Lava, and CUT! by Cherry C. (best motivational books of all time .TXT) 📕

Dear Reader,
For choosing to read this, you are quite one for a good adventure and happy endings, am I correct? But in here this very memory, the text will not be what you are hoping to see and imagine. To tell story of such a tragic event and a family of six, is quite a challenge, but something I am willing to try, in order to make me rich...but wait, I already am rich...but wait again, that makes me even richer! Well, anyone who just read that would be wondering, “Who is that selfish person, only caring about wealth and being rich?” Well I am no other than Jackie Chan. No, I am not the famous actor and master of martial arts, but the evil mastermind of a GIRL who lives in a poor village as a disguise. The filthy clothes of tribal villagers are such a disgrace! But with my desperation for money, I did the horrid task. Now, I will go back to talking about the family. Professor Alison was a loving average mother who was a geological scientist that studied mainly the features of the United States of America. She loves challenges that involve death or life situations and being able to tackle them and coming out alive and well. For those who didn’t know her, you would think that she was a rich supermodel who didn’t care about others. Her silky chestnut hair framed out her flawless face, her even bangs just out of the way of her aquamarine eyes, her designer wardrobe taking up five closets, and her effortless makeup, were all just part of her. Though a scientist, she still wanted to look her best. Her husband, Jack, on the other hand was scared of a lot of things: from heights, bugs, and even Chinese takeout, he was, yes, the complete opposite of the brave and beautiful Alison. He wasn’t the best looking, but was loyal and respectful, unlike the other men Alison would date. They would make her pay for dinners and taxis. They also slammed doors in her face! But Jack won her over with his manners and half-decent appearance. The young 28 year-old couple have four precious kids, Casey, Bob, Lucie, and Camille. Casey was an average teenager with a love of skateboarding, music, and the latest video game consoles. Camille, his twin, enjoyed music and art, using nature to incorporate into her natural talents. Bob was a little toddler, who was outgrowing most of his belongings, and the naming of “toddler” into “kid”. Lucie was the middle child, only at age eight, and loves basketball and skating, so she does both of them, at every chance she gets. The four kids were like the normal siblings: they didn’t exactly get along very well. The kids had one very important similarity, their pet dog. Mindy is a corgi puppy who loved to play with Bob and Lucie. (The little ones had lots of spare time and no or little homework.) Despite the family’s differences, they were a loving and caring bunch. And right now, you are going to enforce the power of the six, and my “helping” them in their situations.

With honor,

Jackie Chan

(Not the actor and martial arts master! Get your facts straight!)

“Hello? This is Alison and I have discovered a new island off the side of Kilauea,” the mom of four kids said to her boss into her iPhone 4. Being a scientist, she had all of the latest technology and uses them the best she can with tests and expeditions for her job.
”Yes, we all will be going to the island,” she replied to the other end of the phone.

“And how many people are going, Miss?” the man on the other line was confirming the airline tickets for Professor Alison and her family: her husband, her four kids, and her loyal pet.

“Yes, that will be 4 adult tickets, 2 kids tickets, and 1 pet carrier for our airplane trip to Kauai this Saturday at 8:00am, right?” she replied to the man. And right after did she realize that there was something to worry about on her project: Mt. Kilauea. The mountain was not just any mountain, but a shield volcano, that formed on top on a hot spot near the Hawaiian Islands. But with her plans already made and finalized, she and her family are going to take on whatever is going to happen, whether good or bad.

“Please fasten your seat belts, are preparing to liftoff to the beautiful island of Kauai!” the pilot announced, preparing for liftoff from none other than the San Francisco International Airport. Mindy was in a pet carrier in with the luggage, while the rest of the family was on the plane.

“I can’t wait!” one of the four kids, Bob, the youngest at only four years old, was bouncing up and down his airplane seat while looking out the small oval-shaped windows to see the alluring dusk of a San Franciscan night escape, the stars brighter than the sun in the day, the moon glowing faintly in comparison. The city buildings, with the artificial and eerie glow of the office building and shopping malls, were just like dead ghosts just floating there with no life or emotions left in them. The airplane then departed, and soon was in the sky, flying up above the moonlit clouds, but right below the universe above. Hours later, the turbulence woke up Camille, the 15 year-old twin of Casey, her brother.

“OWWWW!” she screamed when she hit the seat in front of her on her head painfully.

“Woah!” Lucie exclaimed, shocked by the shaking of the plane.

“WAA!!!” Bob shrieked. But for his wailing, everyone was disturbed by. No one likes hearing cries of a little kid or baby awaken you when you just finally fell asleep after hours of trouble doing so. Casey remained asleep and just sat there with one of his Skullcandy earphones in an ear, and his neon green iPod Nano watch on his left wrist, the rest of the family just knew that Casey fell asleep to his favorite music. As the passengers each fell asleep, they all finally arrived safely to the Lihue Airport in Kauai.

“Thank you for flying on Hawaiian Airlines. We hope you had a good flight experience,” the flight attendant announced into the speaker with a sweet and clear voice. The family then walked off the plane and into the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The family claimed their luggage and Mindy, then stepped into their rental car. It was a two year-old minivan that made a rumble noise every time the engine started. Ignoring the noise, Jack continued to drive to the Hyatt Hotel a couple 15 miles or so away from the Lihue Airport. The kids were all a little drowsy, but were all awake and amazed by the view on the road from Lihue to Hyatt. The majestic view of the tree tunnel and lush vegetation left Camille in awe, inspiring her for her next for-sure-to-be masterpiece.

”Perfect, the sunlight shines just through the tree tunnel and the light reflects off the dewdrops of the just showered leaves, creating several rainbows in each goblet of water,” she wrote down in her neat and flowing script into her most treasured orchid-colored velvet covered diary. Mindy just stuck her head out of the car window and left her tongue drooping down during the entire car ride. Arriving at the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Resort, the family rested in the deluxe room, so happy to have a chance to sleep, until the next morning at 5:30 in the morning when an annoyance woke them up.

“BRINGGGGG!” the annoying and ear-shrieking alarm clock rang for the family to eat breakfast and start their journey to the new island Professor Alison found. Casey and Lucille groaning, they unwillingly dragged their bodies out of bed and got ready for their busy day on Abamclaju Island. The island was named from the first letter of the family member’s names: A for Alison is repeated many times, B is for Bob, M is for Mindy, C is for Camille and Casey, L is for Lucie, and J is for Jack. After a large breakfast of a stuffed up omelet and orange juice, they headed out to the car and were almost ready to go. All the equipment was loaded into the car’s back trunk. Then Alison drove to the beach to rent a canoe.

“That will be $20 for the canoe rental. But, if it is not returned by 5:00 tonight, you will have to pay a fee of $10 more per each hour late.” the clerk at the canoe rental shop warned Alison and Jack. The canoe was then loaded and put into the water. The billowing sea-green waves crashed onto the shore and swayed the canoe a little. As quick as lightning, the family was already at Abaclaju, right next to Mount Kilauea. Mindy was on the canoe, too, and was too excited to go for a swim at the island. Little do they know, that I, Jackie, am watching their every move on the island.

“Kids, remember that we are next to an active volcano. Mount Kilauea may erupt when we are here, so if you smell something, hear something, or see something, come back here so we know you are safe,” Alison instructed to all of her four children.

“Yes, mom!” Bob replied as he ran off to the waters to play flying disk with Mindy. Casey walked around to find some life on Abamclaju, while Lucie went up a hill to find some minerals to add to her collection. Camille pulled out her sketchbook and a 2B pencil and 5B pencil to start drawing the landscapes. A waterfall was rushing down from cliff of stones, while some frogs were on the side jumping into the pool of water below the fall. Some bent cattails and tulle were overgrown on the edges of the water, the sunlight glistening
