"Owwww! Do you have to hit me THAT HARD???" I shouted at my best friend and my enemy Racket. His smack hurt as bad as Karina's dog Barky chewing me. Racket is my friend, because we play together all the time. If there is no Racket, there is no me, Karina would not even touch me if there was no Racket to bounce me high. He is a red rough racket who's reading rock'n roll and refuse to review his mistakes. I say that he is also my enemy, because he always hits me so hard. He said to me: "How many times do I need to tell you!? I can't control myself!" Well, it might be true, but Karina wouldn't hit me that hard...... Did I forget to introduce Karina? Oh I did, Karina is a great, nice and kind girl who owns me and my family. She takes me out to play with her a lot, and she is my best friend too.
Even thought it hurts when Racket hits me up high, I do love my job, being up here in the sky gives me great view. I can see all the trees, people, and sometimes I can even talk to birds, and bugs. Sometimes the birds don't like me, they always say: " Hey! Give us back our feathers you shuttlecock! Give us back our feathers! Give them back!" I don't understand why they say that though. I do have feathers but I don't think I stole their feathers. The feathers are white and beautiful. I usually shout back to them "It's my feathers that I'm wearing, why do I have to give it to you!?" I love the black birds, they never ask me to give them my feather, maybe because my white feathers don't match their black feathers.
My job is to let Karina hit me back and forth. I don't know why but it makes her happy when I fly in the sky. I am so good at turning and spinning, it's my specialty!Sometimes Karina spins me too much it makes me really really dizzy, and I am going to die of dizzyness. I love spending time with Karina because she's is good at Badminton so I can usually fly for a long time - that's if Mr.Windy doesn't come. Oh, Mr. Windy is so strong and bossy, he makes everyone follow his lead, like Dust, leaves and I hate when Mr Windy comes because then we are dragged away from our comfortable spot. But if I follow him, Karina loses, and she complains, and she will be sad, and I don't want that to happen.
I feel happiest when I can hear Karina say "OH! YES!" because it means I am flying in the right direction. But then when Karina's sister Lemon plays with me, she always misses so I fall on the ground. Falling on the ground hurts like a hundred mountains jumping on me. Karina would NEVER treat me like that,if I fell on Karina's side, the solid, hard ground is a soft pilow who would protect me.
One time when I landed on the ground, I saw a brown thing that said "Hi! I am poopy!"
I screamed "Ahhhhh! Where did you come from!??" Then I realized that beside where I landed was dog poop. One of the things that I don’t like is water and dirty stuff. Whenever Karina misses, and I drop on the ground, it's actually fine for me, because it gives me a rest from spinning. But whenever I land in water or dirty stuff, and my feathers are wet- that's the worst because then Karina can't play me anymore and one of my family members would have to take my place.... Although dirty stuff are better than water, I still need to have a bath after they get on me, and Karina can’t play with me for a while.
When Karina came and saw that I had landed in the poop, she screamed:" EWWWW OMG! There is a poop beside it! But it's still ok, it didn't touch it." So they lifted me up, and I was flying again! Yay! But then, I saw the bossy Mr.Windy. Oh no! A second later, I was lead away by Mr. Windy, and I landed! YES! I opened my eyes, and saw branches, leaves, and WORMS! I AM STUCK IN A TREE! Oh no, oh no no no no no! This is my worst nightmare - being stuck in a tree. When Karina hits me hard and high, yes, I get stuck in one of the park’s tree branches, and that just sucks, there are worms, dirty stuff all over me, and I even get so many scratches from the sticks and branches, and plus, I can’t play with Karina. Karina tries to get me down from the tree by throwing my house, the package bag of badminton. I have a warm, great, lovely home, but it’s always so dark, and I can’t even see. But it's still a great home though..... And now, it's all ruined! My house keeper the sweat bands must be so dizy! Yes! The house touched me! But.... This time, a little boy branch held me hard, and I couldn't even MOVE A BIT! I hate it, I said: " Hi there little boy, would you mind letting me go please? I really have to get to my owner." " Birdy! Birdy! Mommy!there is a Birdy!" Shouted the boy branch. Did he just call me a Birdy!?? Well I guess I do fly in sky, I have feathers, and I am white. I am a bird. Anyway, I was still stuck in the tree and the boy branch wouldnt let go! So I poked him with my feathers, but it didn’t work, Karina tried throwing my house up a few more times, but it landed on top of a dirty gross smashed berry. Suddenly, I heard Karina's mom shouting: "Karina we need to go! You have Zoom class in 10 minutes!” Karina said " No! I can't go home without the shuttlecock!"Phew! I thought, Karina won't go home without me. Then, her mom came over, told something to her that I didn't hear, then I saw that she started to cleaned things up, and looked at me, my eyes met hers and I thought "ok, come on! Let's do this, we can get me off! I am ready!" I was thinking that she might throw my house up again, but...... she left! She went home. Wait, WHAT? She went home without me? "Wait wait wait! Karina! I can get off!" I called out. But she was gone.
This is the only situation where I actually wished Mr.Windy would come and visit me, he can blow me off, he did that sometimes. It's true that I don't like Mr. Windy, but in a situation like this... I really need him! Mr. Windy! Mr.Windy!" I called. But he didn't come. I am as Sad as the sunless sea, I thought Karina loved me like she was my mother. Her family means a lot to me. If I am a fish, they are the water. My tears burst out when I realized I no longer have a family. because they left me in a tree, and I don’t know the way back. I started thinking about all the people that I would never see again. I thought about Karina, and her family, I thought about my house keeper, the sweat bands, she was pretty nice, and I will definitely miss her. I even made friends with Ms. Volleyball,who is married to Mr. Basketball, we talked a lot and they have a baby called Tennis, I babysit baby tennis sometimes when they were not home, they might be so worried about me. I almost forgot, I also have a pet ladybug, he is a bug that lived in Karina’s house for many years, and Karina never realized him. So, I made him my pet.....He might be sad if I don't come back and waiting for me to feed him right now! "I am here ladybug! I am here! Please come and find me!" I called out, knowing perfectly well that Ladybug would not here me. After a while, I gave up, and fell asleep, I don't know how long have I slept, but I dreamed about me, ladybug, baby tennis, and Karina playing together.
It was dark when I woke up, and the boy branch was still holding on to me! Suddenly, I heard Mr. Wind is coming into my direction, I could feel it! I called out: " Mr. Wind! Mr. Wind! Help me! I am here!" I wandered lonely as a cloud in my mind.
"What are you doing? My friend shuttlecock?" Mr Windy asked. He thinks everyone is his friend, but I can't tell him that I'm not his friend or he won't help me.
" Please get me out of this tree Mr. Windy." I begged.
" Ha ha! You got stuk in a tree??" He laughed "Oh my silly shuttlecock with sparkling sand sticking on your sad squashed feathers. Ha ha ha! fine, I will help you." So he blew a big gush of wind, but the boy branch scratched me, and he pulled one of my feathers off!
"OWWW! You bad bad boy!",I screamed at the branch Mr Windy blew again and Ahhhhh! I finally got off the tree! YES! Now what should I do? All I dreamed of this whole life is to go and have a nice vacation, and travel around the world to see new things, people, and different views, I am so dizzy from all the spinning I had to do, and tired of falling on the ground. I like Karina, she plays badminton so well, I really want to travel and discover new things but that can wait, for now I just want to go home and see Karina and my family.
I went to the swimming pool with Mr.windy, and there was no one there, which made me feel sad, I thought I am going to have fun with some friends. But I guess no. So I jumped in to the pool without thinking. Yes! I am swimming! I never swimmed before, but I think I am a natural at this! Then, I hit a rock, "Oww!" sayyyyys the rock, no, it's a creature or animal that can moves, it has hard shells. "Sorry, I was swimming, and then I accidently hit you." I said, "do you want to swim with me?" Asked the creature, "My name is turtle the toodo, what's your name?" Asked the creature. I answered: " So you are a turtle then, my name is shuttlecock." "I don't see much shuttlecock in the pool here." "yeah, it's my first time here." I said. He is a bit faster than me, because I just go with the water, I don't move by my self. then, we did something fun together, Turtle hold on to a stick,and Ihold on to the other side, then, he swims, which made me swim faster! We bumped in to another creature, it has a long body, with a beautiful long tail.
"Hey!Watch it! I am crying right now, becasue I am a famous fabulous frighten fish with fat fake fins! Wawawa!" "It's ok, you don't have fake fins, in fact, I think they are beautiful!" Me and turtle both comfort Ms. Fish. Then, we swim together, and had a lot of fun, but, I can't get back to the land, because I am really wet, and it's high from the pool to the ground. then, the turtles gathered his family, and they stand on the other's shells, I am at the very top, moments later, I reached the ground! I really apperciate them, and gave them one third of one of my feathers, when they are gone, I feel lonely again, no one is here with me.I want to go back to Karina, my friends and family, they are the best thing I want right now.Then, I heard "Vroom Vroom!" I saw a human riding a motorcycle me, so I shouted:" Please take me to........" I didn't even finish my sentence, but he passed me He rode as fast as an airplane.Then, after the guy with the motorcycle,I saw Mr. Windy," Wuizz Wuizz"
So I asked Mr. Windy: " Can please take me to Karina's house "."I told you! You need to pay now. " said Mr.Windy angrily, so I look at my self, I rip off half of what's left of my feathers and gave it to Mr. Windy. He took me to a slient grass land. I was so tired! I needed to sleep, and I can't go anywhere until my feathers are dried.
I woke up to a noisy sound, "Woof! Woof!" I look up, oh no, there is a scary huge dog looking at me in the eye right now I think: I am going to die today, why didn't I just stay on the tree? The huge dog put his head closer to me, I closed my eyes, it's over! I am done for! He asked: " Good evening young man, where do you want to go?"
I opened my eyes, shocked to still be alive. "Wait, what? You are not going to eat me or chew me?"
The dog looked at me with a raised eyebrow " No, I am going to take you to where you want to go."
" I want to go back to the tree where I came from, it's beside the water fountain in the center of the park." I say to him. " Okay!" He lift me up, and we start walking. I am shaking the whole time, but soon, I don't think he is scary anymore, he is really nice. So we talked the whole way to the center of the park,a dn we made friends! He is an amazing dog, When we got to the tree where I fell, I asked him to stop, and I rip the last part of the feather and give it to him as a thank you gift. After he left, I thought to myself - what a long day, I am just going to wait here for Karina to come. So I sleep again.
The next day, I spot Karina in all of the crowds, she came to me, stared at me, and screamed: " Yes! Shuttlecock! You are back!" I give her a big smile and tell her "I will never leave you again!" While she is playing with me, I see the nice dog who saved me last night. We smiled at each other. After she is done playing with me, she picked me up, loaded me into my house and went back to her house, Ahhh! It's so nice to be in my "home, sweet home" again.
——Karina
