Ashaki the Red Nose Reingirl

 

         Once upon a time there was a reingirl named Ashaki the Red Nose Reingirl. She lived with a man named Santa Claus. They lived in an igloo near the icy mountain. Ashaki was so good at flying that when she flew she was faster than a jet.
         One chilly winter night Santa was making hot cocoa for Ashaki while they were getting ready to deliver presents. Ashaki saw something fly past the window and land on the window sill. It was a hawk with a letter tied to its leg. The letter was a warning to deliver the city of Kate its presents first. Santa asks Ashaki to deliver the presents but Santa warns Ashaki “whatever you do, don’t go to the Haunted Town!”
         Ashaki put on a fur coat and some heel boots. Ashaki packed water and a snack and tools. Ashaki said goodbye to Santa. It was freezing. Ice covered the ground. Ashaki was excited. After two hours passed the land became watery. The ice was melting and the sun was glowing. Ashaki felt excited. Then she saw a sign that said City of Kate this way. Ashaki followed the sign right to a town.
         The very second Ashaki went into the town, “PLOP!” A giant cage caught Ashaki out of nowhere. Ashaki smelled something stinky. BOOM BOOM out came a stench ugly mole covered hideous monster. “MY NAME IS SISI RAVISI AND AM GOING TO EAT YOU!”
         Ashaki thought so hard smoking bubbles came out of her head. Sisi’s stomach started to grumble and then she got an idea. “Hey Sisi! If you let me out, I will get you a truck of food. I am really good at flying!” Sisi said.  “OK, I’ll let you out.” Ashaki got out of the cage and flew away. She had no intention of ever going back. “Bye bye Sisi” yelled Ashaki as she flew away.
         Finally Ashaki was safe. Ashaki went directly to Kate City and delivered the presents then went straight home. She told Santa about her adventure then she said she was tired and went to bed.
