In Your World

You sit in your room, wondering what life would be like if you were a princess. In your world, America would make you Queen, but what is a queen without a king? In your world, your king would would be Justin Bieber.  You imagine how your life would change if you became Mrs. Bieber, not Ms. Ulgetrise.  You wonder about if you had better clothes, in your world, your closet would be full of Chanel and Armani, nothing less than five hundred dollars.  You wonder, what if you were as smart as Albert Einstein, in your world, Einstein would be jealous of you. You wonder what if I were taller, in your world all the other girls would want your height.  You wonder, what if I were skinnier, in your world, you'd be only 95 pounds.

Then, the weirdest thing happened. A genie flew out of your ceiling light and popped up as if you weren't even there. He stared at you with is bright purple and blue eyes, his muscles, and his unmistakable, perfectly tan skin. You think you're dreaming, you're not.  He tells you he will grant you five wishes.  You think about it for a second and tell him what you want, you want to be taller, you want to have your closet full of Chanel and Armani, you want to be Mrs. Beiber, you want to be smarter, and you want to be queen of America.  He tells you to think about what you say before you say, final answer, you yell back saying, no this is want I want.  The genie replies by pulling out a stick and with a bip-a-tee bop-a-tee boop, your vision goes black. 

You wake up in a king sized bed, in a house where your window over looks the Washington monument. The genie really granted your wishes. Just when you think that it can't get any better, guess who walks in.  Justin Beiber!  he says it's time to wake up honey! He just called me honey.  You shriek out, I'm not dressed.  Justin tells you to open you closet. Which when you did you found Chanel, Armani, nothing less than five hundred dollars.  You think that this is the best thing that has ever happened to you.  He tells you to you need to go to a meeting in the conference room. You put on your favorite looking Chanel dress, that when you put it on, it gracefully slid down, fitting perfectly in its shiny, silk, baby pink texture.

As you start the the hall to the conference room and walk in.  Everyone stands up and doesn't sit down until you do. A servant walked in, he gave me a plate full of breakfast, and spoke these words, for you my queen.  You let out a small sound of joy and take the plate.  When you look around the room, you notice that you are noticeably taller than the rest of the members.  You think that it must just be that your seat is taller.  One man stands and opens up a map of Canada, he says that America was planning a attack to get all of their bacon.  I get excited, tons and tons of Canadian bacon!  Splendiferous!  You are at the height of your life, when the cops walk in and yell out, "She's an impostor!" As I try and figure out who they are talking about I notice that they are all headed toward me!  They think that I am the impostor!  I explain that I am the queen, no impostor here.  They beg to differ.  They open their vest and point out if I try to run, they have a gun.  That's when I freak out. Before they could catch me I hear someone shouting my name.  It's my mom yelling at me to wake up, it's time for dinner.  I was really glad she woke me up when she did, or I would be dead, well in my dreams.  Once she did that I started to realize that the people who really like me and love are the ones I already have.  My wonderful, splendiferous Ulgetrise family!
