I draw a lot like i am right now. I do my work but then a  doodle tornado starts taking the page with its army containing anything from random shapeless scribbles to a cat with wings. Though the cat i'm drawing now with its oddly shaped oblong head is a lot more conventional than the flying one i just mentioned. For one thing it's on a big cat poster my group is working on and reason number two it has no wings. One more stripe! I think to myself. Slowly making a small triangle shape. Finished! I think only to watch my drawing disappear off the page then suddenly...

POP!  “WHAT!”I screamed embarrassingly loudly. Though i don't think the class even noticed because of the sight that had just appeared before them. I'm pretty sure "what! ”summed up about seventy percent of the classes thoughts.

“Hi!” the cat exclaimed casually as it sat on the paper that it had been encased in a mere ten seconds ago. “So uh...who summoned me?” the cat questions everyone slowly raised a finger to me. “ Well thanks a lot! I was really busy eating some fries! “. The cat replied clearly annoyed that i had interrupted his extremely important fri eating session. “Anyhow, what's your name?” "A...A...Amber."I replied shakily with an almost completely fake smile.

“ Nice to meet you Amber, and what was your purpose for summoning me today?”. The cat asked as if it were an everyday conversation. “ Um can we discuss this in private?” I asked a fake smile still plastered on my face.

“Oh of course I should have thought of that!” the cat exclaimed. I swiftly took the hall pass and bolted down the hall and onto the blacktop the cat talking behind me chattering as if it's life depended on it. “ OK lets make this quick. This whole summoning thing is a misunderstanding! So go back to where you came from!” I whispered in a mix of fear and anger. “ Well you see it's not that simple. I can't go back unless you come with i'm afraid. You see it doesn't take a lot of energy to get something out of the derp cat kingdom but breaking back through the barrier takes massive amounts of determination something we derp cats can not provide unless the whole kingdom worked in unison. That's what your here for!” “slow down! So you need a human to go back then i can leave right?” i asked. “Well you do have to do one little task once we get there.” he continued. “Well what is this small task?” I asked skeptically.

“ Well maybe it's a medium sized task. “ he said. “You kind of need to help us defeat the herp cats.” “what's a herp cat!” i replied immediately. “ well there like derp cats but only the opposite.” he said. “ well that doesn't sound reassuring considering your extremely nice!” i replied. “I'm gonna die aren't i!” I shouted. “ no none of the technology the hurp cats possess can hurt humans.” the cat reassured me happily. “ you see they're more like bullies then murderers.” the cat continued. “Fine!” i said after a couple minutes of puppy dog eyes from the cat.“But on one condition. If it takes less than 24 hours i'm in!” “OK!” he said cheerfully. “ But you have to stay here like ten more minutes.” “ok.” he said less cheerfully. “One last thing. What's your name?!” I shouted back as i jogged towards school “Pickles!” He replied. Once I got to my desk a wave of relief rushed over me. The teacher was to busy lecturing a student about something to notice me or the large headed cat in the window waving.

Finally the bell rings and i go at sonic speed packing up and leaving I find the bush where i left pickles and luckily  he was still behind it when i got there. When pickles spots me he says “Amber! I forgot to give you your complimentary notebook and pencil!”. I look down at the pencil with a cat like pickles carved into the pink tinted wood, and the sketchbook with doodles obviously made by a bored pickles waiting for school to finish. “Shh!” I hiss at  him. “Oh sorry!” he says quietly “ So what is the sketch book about?” I asked . “well you see us derp cats  can change form via drawing so draw something small and I'll show you!” “Uh OK.” I say  skeptically. Then proceed to draw a Tiny bee with no Stinger of course in case pickles gets any ideas . “Fabulous now watch this!” pickles said as he jumped  onto the paper or rather into it. the same POP sound as when he first arrived happened and my drawing with additional cat ears and pickles face appeared. “Pretty nifty huh?”

“The only problem is is we derp cats don't have thumbs so we can't do this without humans.” “so now we can head home without a suspicious looks!”I say cheerfully. Then we started the trek around the block to my house. “This place is huge!” pickles exclaimed. “it's more like your tiny actually.” “I suppose so.” pickles said popping back into his cat form. “do you have a guest room because our quest is gonna take more than the hours you have before your parents why you in bed.” what have I gotten myself into I think but then i have a good idea. “I guess you can shrink into something and sleep in a drawer.” “ good enough.” replied pickles. my parents won't be home until 5 o'clock so will entertain ourselves till then.

Two and a half hours later I find myself screaming “HIDE MY PARENTS ARE HOME!” at pickles he quickly Ducks into my closet and i run downstairs then shove some chips in my mouth to make it look like I've been  sitting here for a while just before my parents come in. “hi Mom!” i say but muffled by the chips and sounds more like “ Hi mown!”  “Hi honey.” my mother replies obviously busy with her phone. “what are we having for dinner tonight?” I asked. “grilled cheese.” she says.” okay!” I say taking the stairs 2 by 2. once I'm in my room I say “you like grilled cheese because that's what we're having!” I say as I walk in on pickles using my toothbrush as a comb. Furiously i scream “what are you doing!” “ using your brush I didn't think you'd mind.” it's going to be a long night I thought.

after eating i sneak a sandwich for Pickles “there's your food.” i say hoping not to walk in another disaster but rather I was pleasantly surprised by the sight of him watching Netflix on my tablet. It was easy on from there until I was trying to go to sleep then I was constantly bombarded with questions such as: “what is this dial thing for?” and “why do you have this piece of fabric? there's no tail hole!"

The next morning I woke up which was must have meant I fell asleep! then I remembered why it was so hard to fall asleep “Pickles where are you?” I called softly so as not to wake my parents. “ down here!” he says he must have been up for a while because when I came downstairs he had oven mitts on and a large platter of waffles topped with everything from sprinkles to cheese. I stood there in shock and then noticed a note on the table from my parents saying they got to work early.

Then I had an idea, I flipped the note over and begin to write: Dear Mom and Dad I'm going to opal’s house for a sleepover her parents will call you when I get there. “Who is opal?” Asked pickles “She's my friend now let's get the show on the road!” i remarked Confidently while swooping up my back pack. Then i dragged pickles out the door. “But we didn't even eat any waffles!” pickles complained. luckily Opal’s  house only a block away so once we got there I rung the doorbell then pickles proceeded to press it 8 more times out of fascination. Then i had to tell him “ you only need to press it once!” “ fine.” he said clearly annoyed. Then Opal opened the door probably wondering who the heck of ring the doorbell 9 times . “Why did you bring the thing from school!” she shouted “Because I need you to cover for us.” I said hurriedly picking up the franticness in pickles eyes.

“Well what am I supposed to do!” Opal said picking up the franticness in the air “call my mom and pretend to be your mom.” “what do moms do?!” she asked back “just do it!” I said.  And with that opal picked up her phone and started dialing. “H-hello Lori.”Opal stuttered. “Hey Mary is Amber in your house I just got her note.”  My mom replied “yes.” Opal said not sure what to say. “great! I'll see you Tuesday for bowling night.” said my mom then she hung up. “I'll see you tomorrow Opal!” I said. Opal just moved back seemingly dumbfounded by what had just unfolded before her.“Pickles where are you taking me?” i asked after we left Opal’s house as pickles started strolling through a run down part of town i had never been in. “Here we are!” pickles said.

“This doesn't look like how i imagined derp cat village to be like.” i said looking around at the rusted fences, littered pieces of all sorts of stuff strewn around and also the severe lack of cats. “This isn't it silly!” “ though we are right below it.” said pickles. “Now, you still have the sketch pad right?” asked pickles. “Yep.” i said pulling the sketch pad out of my back pack. “Now for a mode of transportation, draw something that can fly and is also big enough to carry you.” i drew a small simple dragon. “Okay done” i say “Fabulous!” pickles says as he hopped into the paper. Then he popped out as a ten foot dragon “ whoa you're huge!” i exclaimed “we need to get going it's almost lunch time, hop on!” pickles said “How am i supposed to get on you?” i asked “Um can you climb trees?” asked pickles. “maybe.” i said “here's the plan, you climb that tree ill lay down then you hop on!”

“OK.” i said. so i grabbed a hold of the tree and started climbing, turns out i'm pretty terrible at climbing trees so we had to come up with a plan B. “I know!” pickles said “ you can climb onto my tail and the ill plop you onto my back!” he said. Despite how dimwitted pickles was usually the plan worked and as soon as i had a moment to appreciate the plan pickles said “Hold on tight!” and we were launched into the air with one flap of dragon pickles’s humongous wings. There's no way to explain the emotion of terror and joy i felt! As the ground slowly shrunk beneath me. Since pickles was now a behemoth we were in the clouds within a span of a minute but what a minute it was looking down upon the city i'd lived in my whole life from a whole new angel! But after the minute passed i was in the clouds almost as amazing as the sight i saw a couple seconds ago. “So how did i summon you?” i asked pickles.
