The Quest for a Friend
"Oh my gosh" whispered a voice above me, "is it alive?"
Slowly I opened my eyes. Above me I saw two men in white suits. They looked a lot like scientists. I tryed to get up, but couldn't . "Where was I?" "How did I get there?" and "Why am I here?" were the questions running through my mind.
Then one of the scientists said "The transformation's complete!"
"What transformation?" I replied.
"You volunteered for a transformation from a human to a cow" one of them said "We are scientists working for the P.W.C.S."
"WHAT" I yelled of the top of my lungs "I've been turned into a cow!"
"Yes" replied the scientist calmly " The P.W.C.S. also said you need to make a friend in one day in order to stay a cow forever."
"Okay" I said "This will be easy."
The next day I was holding auditions. The first audition was by a cow named Chuck. Chuck was, well, how can I put it, not alright in the old noodle. He kept calling me Alexis and was talking about paint. After twenty minutes of being lectured about how to paint a house, I knew it was going to be a long day. How right I was.
Next was a cow named Larry. I kept asking him why he wanted to be my friend, but he just asked where he was, and who I was, and where his mom was. He reminded me of Dory from "Finding Nemo", but when I told him this, he said"Ohhh,so I'm a fish"and started wiggling around and saying "I'm a fish".
Then, at the end of the day, as I was leaving, sad with the thought of being turned back into a human, a small duck came in. He said " Hi, my name is Bob the cow".
"But, you're a duck.." I said hesitently .
"And what's that supposed to to mean Mr.'I look like an black and white TV."
"It means you're not a cow."
"But I am, see!" he quacked "Moo-Moo, I'm lazy and I'm eating grass, Moo-Moo, I look like a dumb person, Moo-Moo".
"Don't make me call Elmer Fudd!" I warned him.
"Yikes!" he squacked "It's duck season, gotta go!"
"Wow" I said, freaked out by Bob the Cow/Duck.
The next day went by so fast, I could hardly grasp it. All I knew was at the end of the day I was back to my old human self. As I walked home, I felt a tear go down my cheek as I whispered "So close, yet so far".
