As you walk in the door after school, you toss your backpack on the floor and kick off your shoes. On the kitchen table is a parsel wrapped in newspaper with your name written in big, black letters on top. You [[open]] the package or [[leave the package]] for later. You quickly rip the newspaper off the package and gasp as you find a note and some sort of blanket(?) inside.
The note reads: My dear child, this is an invisibility cloak gifted down generations in our family. Your time has come to utilize the cloak to end trouble in your community. The cloak will only work for you as our genes are of a special makeup. Use the cloak wisely.
You decide to [[test out the cloak]] by sneaking out after bedtime or [[try it out on the cat]].Just as you dive into your favorite novel, your mother knocks on the door. "Honey, your grandmother sent you this wonderful blanket today. I'd like you to write her a thank you note before you begin reading."
As you unfold the blanket a piece of paper slips out. The note says: My dear child, this is an invisibility cloak gifted down generations in our family. Your time has come to utilize the cloak to end trouble in your community. The cloak will only work for you as our genes are of a special makeup. Use the cloak wisely.
You decide to [[test out the cloak]] by sneaking out after bedtime or [[try it out on the cat]].Hmm, let's test this baby out. Facing the mirror, you slip the cloak on and quietly turn the knob to your bedroom door. It is essential that you are absolutely silent as you sneak out of the house. You know where all the creaks and moans are in your house already from your late night adventures to the cookie jar after mom and dad have gone to sleep. Dad is snoring on the couch fast asleep...or so it appears. You slowly creep in front of him to the front door. Just as you reach for the knob, your dad says "that kid is always leaving their shoes around. We'll definitely need to talk about this in the morning." You glance down and realize the cloak is just a few inches too short and you can see your sneakers!!! Darn growth spirt! You [[begin to plan]] a way to utilize your cloak tomorrow at school gifted with this new information or decide to [[try it out on the cat]]."Meooooow" the cat whines under the invisibility cloak...or not so invisible cloak. The cat looks as if he has a black blanket draped over him. You stare at yourself in the mirror and began to wrap yourself in the cloak. After wrapped in the invisibility cloak, you confirm that your entire body excluding your feet vanished. You [[begin to plan]] how to use the cloak at school the next day or [[go to sleep]]. What is the perfect perk to testing out an invisibility cloak? Extra brownies after lunch, of course! As you dream of delicious brownies, you [[go to sleep]]. At school the next day, you wait excidely for lunch time. Do you decide to follow the instructions in the note and [[only use the cloak for good]] or decide to [[practice being sneaky]]?In class, your attention is drawn to a [[news story]] playing on your neighbors laptop. You quickly and quietly sneak through the cafeteria into the kitchen. As you walk into the kitchen there is a lunch lady wrapping up left over lunch. Do you [[wait patiently]] for her to leave so she doesn't see your feet or [[make a run for it]]?The lunch lady soon walks into the fridge to put the left overs away and you are able to quickly snag a container of brownies! Mission successful!! You quickly walk back to class, stash your brownies, and remove the cloak. As you sit in class you notice a [[news story]] playing on your neighbors laptop. "Hey! Not so fast! I can see your sneakers!!" You feel a hand reach out and rip the cloak off of you. "I am confiscating this!" Bummer! You have failed to help your community using the cloak and have lost the cloak forever."Robberies are popping up all over town!!! This town is in distress!" the news reporter's voice booms. "The police have absolutely no leads! Anyone with any information must call the police station IMMEDIATELY. The situation is dire! Please help!!!!" You gasp this must be the purpose for receiving the cloak! You [[accept catching the town robber as your very own secret mission]] or you figure you are just a kid! This is [[not your problem]] and you are fine using the cloak to satisfy your sweet tooth forever. Everywhere you go, you are now suspicous of everyone. You never know who could be the robber! You carry the invisibility cloak in your backpack and bring it everywhere you go. You never know when the opportunity to catch a robber might arise.
Mom takes you and your little brother out shoe shopping that weekend. Just as your little brother is trying on the newest pair of Buzz Lightyear sneakers, you hear a commotion towards the front of the store. Your mom is so flabbergasted by all the cool lights produced by the shoes, she does not even realize that you slip away. You slip your invisibility cloak on, just in case. As you peak your invisible head around the corner, you notice a man demanding all of the money out of the cash register. Do you [[decide to intervene]] or [[go back and look for your own new pair of cool kicks]]? Bummer! You have failed to help your community using the cloak and that night when you went to find the cloak it had mysteriously vanished never to be found again. As you sneak closer to the roober, you watch as the cashier hands him all of the money in the drawer! The robber begins to turn around. He's going to see your shoes in the middle of the floor!! You either [[run and stand next to a pair of shoes on display to camoflauge yourself]] or [[make a run for it and tackle the robber]]!Bummer! You have failed to help your community using the cloak and that night when you went to find the cloak it had mysteriously vanished never to be found again. Cool shoes though!! The robber shoves the money into his backpack and begins to make his way towards you. Your heart skips a beat as you think you have been spotted; however, your hiding spot was so phenomenal that the robber does not question your sneakers. The robber walks right in front of you as he makes his way to the door. You instinctively stick your foot out and trip the robber! He falls straight on his face!!!
At that same moment multiple security gaurds rush over to arrest the robber! You did it!! You saved your community from the awful robber! You feel your moms hand on your invisible shoulder. As you look up, she winks at you and says "Job well done, my darling. I've got a brownie waiting at home just for you."Bummer! The robber sees your sneakers heading his way, drops the bag of money, and bolts! You have failed to help your community using the cloak and that night when you went to find the cloak it had mysteriously vanished never to be found again. Good try though!!
