Man, it was a busy day. Cars were everywhere. I don't know how it happened but somehow it did.

I was driving to Te Puna, where all the cars drive busily round corners and buses continually stop. We were driving to a big hall where Mum was going to help set up for a party. When we got there it sucked because children weren't allowed in the hall so we had to go to the play centre. As we were playing on the playground I started to get bored so I said to my sister Brenna that I wanted to go inside the play centre. I said that it would be more fun inside.

We waited till the lady that ran the play centre came out and locked the front door. She looked at us and said “When I leave you must leave too.” She went round the side of the play centre. “This is our chance,” I said to Brenna and I went round the other side and found the back door. We tried to open it and finally it gave way. We looked inside. It was dark. I said to Brenna, “Stay at the door.”

I silently and slowly crept in. I stepped and I moved a little more forward until suddenly I froze. A loud squealing noise sounded. The walls became a dazzling red light which blinded me. I turned and ran. I grabbed Brenna and sprinted back to the playground and we jumped into the tunnel and pretended to be talking to each other. The lady came over to us and said harshly, “Why did you sneak in the back of the play centre?” “We didn't, I lied. “Well how come the alarm went off? You're the only people here.

Of course I didn't think of that. So it turned out we had to leave.

When I got back to the hall my mum had finished setting up. I didn't dare tell her what had happened. And guess what? Mum signed up for it again next year and kids aren't allowed!
