The Missing Lucy

          Leah, Lucy, Ella, and Maddy are at a gymnastics competition. They are watching  the other contestants do their routine. 

“Next up is Lucy Clare Cambule,” said the announcer. All of her friends and family are cheering for her. So far Lucy is doing great but when she is doing her arial in mid air she just disappears. Everyone is worried. EspeciallyLeah because her sister just disappeared. “What in the world just happened,” asked Ella. 

“I have no clue,” said Maddy. Leah was in tears. She was very worried for her sister. “I wonder if Lucy is ok,” Leah said to herself. 

“Let’s go look for Lucy guys,” said Ella.

“Good idea Ella,” said Maddy

“I agree with you Ella. Let’s get going. Ella you go right, Maddy you go left, I will look around the stands,” said Leah. The girls looked all around but they could not find Lucy. So they went to Lucy and Leah’s house to tell Leah’s mom what happened. “Hay mom so Lucy was doing her routine then she just disappeared,” said Leah.  

“We looked all over for Lucy  Mrs. Cambule,” said Ella. 

“Well thank you for looking for her. I heard something coming from the basement. Feel free to look for Lucy down there,” said Mrs. Cambule. 

“Thanks mom for the help we will try to find Lucy,” said Leah. 

“HELP,” said the voice coming from the basement. 

“That was the thing I heard coming from the basement,” said Mrs. Cambule. 

“We will go look,” said Maddy. So the girls went down to the basement to look for Lucy. In the middle of the room they see Lucy tied up to a chair. Once they go over to try untie Lucy she disappears again. 

“Ok is someone messing with us or what,” asked Maddy.  

“Ya I think that someone is definitely messing with us,” said Ella.

“I agree,” said Leah. 

“ So what do we do know,” said Maddy. 

“I don’t know,” said Leah. 

“Well we’re still going to have to find her,” said Leah.

“Yes you are  right Leah,” said Maddy.

“Well where do we look though?” said Leah.

“I have an idea of where to look.” They walked back up stairs to Leah’s mom’s . “Can you drive us to the gymnastics facility please?” said Ella.

“Sure,” said Mrs. Cambule. Twenty minutes later they arrived. “We are here,” said Mrs. Cambule. 

“Thank you,” said the girls. 

“Ok so let’s look around the facility for her,” said Ella. 

Five minutes later Maddy said “I found her”.

“Really!” said Leah. 

“Yes,” said Maddy. 

“Ella over here,” said Leah.  

 

“Coming,” said Ella. 

 

“Lucy, Maddy, Ella, and I are here to help you.” “Just don’t disappear on us again,” said Leah. They go over to go untie Lucy and this time she does not disappear.  

 

“Thank you for untying me. The ropes were starting to hurt really bad,” said Lucy.  

 

“No problem Lucy,” said Ella.  

 

“So do you know why you disappeared,” said Maddy. 

 

“I do not know,” said Lucy. 

 

“Ok. I was just wondering,” said Maddy. So Lucy, Leah, Ella, and Maddy go back to Leah and Lucy’s house to tell Mrs. Cambule that they found Lucy. 

 

“Hi mom we found Lucy,” said Leah. 

 

“I am back, did you miss me?,” said Lucy 

 

“Of course I missed you and I am so glad you’re back. Thank you Maddy, Ella, and Leah for finding Lucy,” said Mrs. Cambule. 

 

“No problem Mrs. Cambule,” said Ella and Maddy. 

 

“Yes. No problem at all mom,” said Leah. 

 

Now that Lucy is back the girls are happy and sad too. They are sad because their adventure is over but they’re happy that Lucy is back. Maybe they will go on another adventure. Who knows?
