The Live Stream
by Jordynn, age 11
Were Live in 3...2...1” Fox says pointing to Wolf “ Hey guys” Wolf says winking to the camera “This live stream is doing good 1 person joined MomIsTheBomb456” Fox said excitedly “MomIsTheBomb456? Mhm just as I suspected! Hey mom thanks for kick starting me and Foxes live stream this is our most popular stream all because of you! Take it away Fox” Wolf says, taking the camera from him “Ok guys today we are going to show you how we hunt for food.” Fox says setting the camera down on a red wagon. Ring Ring Ring Wolf's phone rang “Hello?” he said “Wolf you didn’t even answer it” Fox said rolling his eyes “Oh…” he answers and says “Hello?” After a brief moment of silence someone responds “Hey honey I just wanted to make sure this live stream won’t interfere with your bedtime. You need your beauty sleep or you’ll be grumpy” Wolf's mom is very over protective “MoOoOm” Wolf groans before he hangs up. “Anyway no more calls will be taken at this time” Wolf says staring into the camera, “Let's move on from that how about we….” Before Fox could finish, Wolf says “Shhhhh do you see the girl, follow me.” They took their little red wagon and their one person live stream over to her “Hey!” Fox says to her “Ahhhh” the girl screeched “Oh golly sorry but you can’t sneak up on a little lad like me” She responded quickly after the scream “ Sorry, we just wanted to make a new friend we are live streaming this!” Wolf said enthusiastically “Oh my really how many people are watching” she responded “umm 1 but it’s my mom” Wolf told her Scratching his head “Cool, Oh um They Call me Little red riding hood, little red for short.”
“Where you headed, little red?” says Fox “My Grannies, I hear she’s quite ill.” Said little red sounding just a little sad “Well we will leave you to it” Fox says smirking “Thank you friends if you need me I’ll be at grannies by the starbucks” Little red skips away “We have found our prey.” Fox says “Who?” Wolf asks Fox sighs and says “The girl and her grannie now follow me.” they ran off taking a shortcut to little red’s granny's house. When they finally got there they knocked on the door and what they assumed to be grannies' voices responded. “Who’s there?” “It’s me granny,” Wolf said, doing his best to impersonate the little girl they met moments before. Well the old woman must have some bad hearing problems because she said with her soft old voice “There’s a key under the mat come in darling” They broke in well not really but still “There she is laying in her bed!” whispered Wolf “Lets get her!” Fox happily said They started eating “Little Reds Grannie tastes weird!” Said Wolf, Fox nodded and kept eating. On the flip side “Today is a good day… I’m gonna go home… my name is steve...and I’m singing this song” Steve Sang “wait are those animals GASP eating GRANNIE!” Steve said worried “Hey Steve” Little red said waving at Steve “LITTLE RED COME HERE RIGHT NOW” Steve half yelled at her “What's wrong!” she asked “is that your grannie” steve whispered “OHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYY GOLLYYYYYYYY GRANNIE!” She yelled in terror “Don’t worry I got a plan go ring the doorbell.” he said confidently “Are you out of you mind!” she responds “I got this sheet, they answer the door we throw it on them” he said reassuringly “ok but why do you have a sheet with you?” she asked “ Will you stop asking so many questions Red” he said annoyed “Don’t call me that” she told him “Just go” Steve pushed her to the door. She rings the doorbell and the wolf and fox answer “HAYAAAAAAAAAAH” Steve runs at them with the sheet and covers them “ I can’t see!!!” Fox responds, they tie them back to back “You’ve got some explaining to do” Little Red says. Just as she says that the front door opens “Grannie?” Little red said hugging her tight “I’m so confused” grannie. said 30 minutes later “Ohh yeah that's just my home security system they recorded my voice it’s pretty good” grannie said explaining “what about the person they ate?” Steve asked “Silly children, that's a mannequin so if someone looks in my bedroom window they will see the mannequin sleeping and will think it’s me and not disturb.” she answered “That's Smart grannie!” Little red said. “Police!!” said well the police “Let them in steve!” Little red erged “ok,ok!” Steve responded “What’s wrong!” they asked “ these rascals tried to eat Little red’s grannie and broke into her house and impersonated little red. They broke three laws!!” Steve told them. “You're going to jail fellas,” Police told Fox and Wolf. The police escorted them out of the house and into the cop car. “What a day” Steve said, taking a sip of his tea and biting a piece of grannie's homemade cookies. “Yeah, also grannie, these cookies and tea are delicious thank you!” Little Red said. Grannie smiled “thank you sweetheart”
