Jenna the Zim


Long ago in a deep forest there lived a Zim named Jenna. Jenna lived with DeAna the Zim in a pitch black cave made of rock. The cave was all silver.
One chilly summer night, Jenna and DeAna were playing tag outside. Just then Jenna heard a horn blow.
DeAna said, “This horn must mean that today is Alison the princess’ 18th birthday.” So DeAna sent Jenna on a mission to wish Alison a happy birthday.
“Wait!” said DeAna, “Whatever you do don’t go through the haunted grave yard with that witch!”
Jenna put on a belt that holds her bubbles and water. Then she replied, “I won’t go through the haunted grave yard and left.”
It was cool a summer night and Jenna felt scared as she walked along the haunted road. The air was cool. The ground was all foggy. The cool air made Jenna feel miserable.
After about an hour it started to rain. Jenna felt as miserable as a hobo. Just then Jenna noticed a grave moving. So Jenna ran as fast a she could to a village. She saw a sign that explained this way to Alison’s the princess’ castle. Then she went that way and tripped over a rock and then she noticed she was right in the middle of a graveyard.
The second that Jenna entered the grave yard she saw foot steps. They were glowing green so she followed them. Bam! She stepped on a grave stone and fell in a deep hole. Just then Jenna heard screeching. Jenna didn’t know what to do so she ran as fast as she could. Then bam! She turned around and right in front of her she saw a dirty witch that smelled like sewers.
The witch said, “I’m going to cast a spell on you.”
Jenna had to really think how she was going to escape. Just then Jenna said, “I challenge you to a bubble blowing contest!”
So Dede Kidede agreed. The witch took Jenna outside. Jenna suggested who ever blows ten bubbles wins! Just like that the witch had blown a bubble that popped right over her eye. Her eye stung like crazy. She didn’t see Jenna escape.
Finally, Jenna was safe. She ran to the castle without looking back. 10 minutes later Jenna was at the castle. When Jenna arrived at the castle she saw Alison the princess talking with her friends, Jenna ran to her. Jenna wished Alison a happy 18th birthday.
Alison said, “Thank you.”
Jenna asked Alison if she could send Jenna home by a wave of her wand?
So Alison thought about it and said, “Ok.” “Abra Cadabra!” Woosh, Jenna was home in a snap. She told DeAna the whole story. Even the part that she got tricked to go into the haunted grave yard.
DeAna was mad and said, “You’re grounded for a week because you got tricked!”
“Ok.” Said Jenna, “It’s only a week.”
