Once upon a time there was a little girl with golden hair named Goldilocks. (I mean not very creative parents am I right?) Goldilocks was running through the woods. I mean you must wonder why she was running. She was running from her parents because they wouldn't buy her a new bag. Selfish I know. Anyway she was going to go knock on doors and see who wanted to adopt a little golden haired girl. When she was running she noticed a path she had never seen before. A whole paved path in the middle of the forest. Wow. She of course followed the suspicious path and it led her to a giant house. Made of candy. And right next to it a normal house. She went to knock on the suspicious candy house door but no one was home so she went to the boring normal house. When she knocked she realized how bad she had been. JK! She didn't feel a sliver of guilt. She heard shuffling feet and then the door opened. Out stepped a girl and a boy who had bright yellow hair.

"Hello Miss! My name is Jill and this is my brother Jack!" The little girl said. "Do you want to come with us to get some water from the hill?"

"No. Here let me cut to the chase. I ran away from my parents because they would not give me a new bag and now I'm going to live here. Got it? K you got it. Now where is my bedroom?"

"Well I will probably have to ask my parents if you can stay for a VERY long sleepover but okie dokie artichokie!" Jill ran back into the house with Jack right behind her. Screaming for her mother, Goldilocks finally heard an answer of "Yes. What do you need now Jill?". Goldilocks waited on the doorstep for what seemed like an hour when Jill finally came back.

"She said it was fine with her so come on in!" Goldilocks followed Jill and her brother into a pretty clean house and up the stairs. She led her into a bedroom which was way more messy than the rest of the house. She pointed to a bare spot on the floor and said, "You can sleep here, I told Jack to move his bed into the back roo-, I mean the basement. He's learned to not argue with me. Now what is your name?"

"My name is Goldilocks."

"Wow, your parents are not very creative. My mom said that since I'm already having one friend over I might as well have another friend over so be prepared when Bo Peep arrives. SPOILER! She has anger issues." Just then the doorbell rang. Goldilocks braced herself for the worst but when they went down stairs they saw a girl with yellow plastic looking hair.

"This is Bo T. There are two Bo Peeps. The other one is Bo F."

"They're super weird," Jill whispered to me. Bo T. looked at her with disgust. She turned to Goldilocks.

"Who is she?" She said in a very snotty voice. "And what is up with her hair?"

"Says you Barbie hair," Goldilocks fired back. Bo T. didn't say anything after that. They went upstairs and Jill pulled up a very specific square in the carpet and climbed down a ladder. She disappeared but then reappeared.

"Are you coming or not?"

"Coming," Bo T. and Goldilocks replied. They climbed down the stairs and into a creepy room where it was pitch black.

"JACK!" Jill screeched at the top of her lungs. "Get out of here we are sleeping down here now!" But there was no response. Suddenly a ghost pig popped up in the middle of the room. (They are like super common.)

"I am the ghost of Christmas past," it moaned.

"Dude it's almost Easter," Bo T. replied.

"Dang it!" someone yelled in the back of the room. "First Pig you were supposed to say I will haunt you! You ruined it." A second "ghost" pig popped out.

" I am the ghost of Christmas Present." The pig said.

"WE ALREADY FAILED!" the voice from the back of the room yelled," WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!" A third pig jumped out.

"I am the ghost of Christmas Future!" It moaned.

"I SWEAR YOU PIGS ARE DEAF WE ALREADY FAILED THE SCHEME! WOW JUST GO HOME ALREADY OR DID THE WOLF BREAK YOUR BRICK HOUSE TOO?" Jack came out from his hiding spot near the back of the room, his face red. It somehow got even more red when he saw Goldilocks there.

"Oh I.... Didn't know Goldilocks was with you," He said with embarrassment. He and the pigs quickly dodged the girls and ran up the ladder.

"Hey they left! Okay so Goldi, can I call you that?" Jill asked.

"No," Goldilocks said sternly.

"So anyway Goldi you are over by the very creepy vent that is always cold, Bo T. you can be.... By the place where the "ghost" pigs popped up and I will be right by the beanbag chair in the corner "

"Umm question?" Goldi asked, "Why do you get a cozy spot while we get like a spot that is practically digging our own grave? I just thought I should ask."

"Well first of all I'm the host of this sleepover and second because well I thought I should get the comfy spot because I'm me and this is my house and these are my rules," Jill said with a grin, "Is that a good enough explanation for you Goldi?"

"Sure?" She said with uncertainty. They set up their stuff and went back up the ladder and out of the back roo- I mean basement. (Dang it now she has me mixed up.)

"Jill!" Her mom called. Jill ran to see what she wanted and was back within 5 minutes.

"She said that some more of my friends are coming over and so are Jack's. She didn't tell me who though." Goldilocks was starting to think that this was not a good idea and she wouldn't make it through the night but she stayed anyway because no way was she going back to her house especially after she literally ran away from home because she didn't get a new bag. The doorbell rang. They all hurried downstairs. The whole crew, Goldi, Jill, Bo T., Jack and the Three Little Pigs. When Jill opened the door there were 6 kids on the front porch.

"Goldi, this is Little Red, Hansel, Gretel, Alice, Jack B. and Jack N. There are three Jacks," Jill said, pointing to each one. "Guys this is Goldi. And you know everyone else."

"Question? Why is she here? She seems like 4 years older than us," Red said.

"Well that's because she is. And Alice is 4 years older than us too!" Jill pointed out.

"Good point. Where can I put my stuff? It is soooooo heavy. Like my arms are going to snap like twigs," Red said in a whiney voice.

"Set your bags in the back roo-, I mean basement and quit whining or I will send you home Red!" Jill said with an unhappy face. She took a deep breath and put a fake smile on her face and continued her sentence.

"Anyways, now that we've all met each other, who wants to play video games?" They all went into the living room where there were two controllers sitting on a weird podium thing. Goldilocks couldn't see how this was going to end well since there were only two controllers and these people seemed pretty competitive, but she ran for a controller anyways. Red reached into her giant bag and pulled out some sort of hair spray.

"IF I DON'T GET A CONTROLLER I WILL SPRAY THIS IN SOMEONE'S EYE!" she screeched.
