Veronica //(Ronnie)// was your typical American girl, but this particular girl //lived// for adventure. She loved any type of adventure, any time of the day. She didn’t like to climb trees like all the other little boys and girls in her neighborhood, she liked to climb mountains. She didn’t like to walk nature trails at school, she liked to walk rain forest with dangerous animals and exotic plants. Most of all she never stayed in the house sand watch TV about adventures…//No,// she created her own. One day Ronnie’s best friend Ava, invited her to go camping with her and her family. Ronnie, having that adventurous spunk in her, agreed. She packed all the necessities: Canteen, rain boots, rain coat, covers, compass, and of course animal shaped fruit snacks. Once prepared, Ronnie kissed her family goodbye. //“Don’t get into too much adventure,”// Ronnie’s father said. //“I won’t,”// Ronnie replied, with a mischievous glint in her eye. And with that Ronnie was on her way to a normal camping trip. Little did she know it would be one of her greatest adventure yet. At the campsite, Ronnie couldn’t help but admire the beauty as a whole. The campsite was filled with luscious green grass, colorful fall leaves, and a sunset that was absolutely breathtaking. Since they arrived pretty late, her time to admire was cut short. //“Time to set up the tents,”// Ava’s mom said. //“Let’s do it!”// Ronnie replied with much enthusiasm. When the tents were up and ready to sleep in, everyone was crawling into there paired tents. Ronnie was sharing with Ava. They got warm under the cover and soon were drifting off to sleep. Midway through the night Ronnie thought she heard rustling. //It must be the wind,// Ronnie thought. But when Ronnie peeked outside there wasn’t a hint of wind at all. Then she heard it again. Being the adventurous person she was, she went towards the noise. As soon as she arrived to the bushes, Ronnie discovered a weird looking creature. Quite colorful in fact. Ronnie was amazed. She stared until the creature got frightened and started to whimper against a branch. //“Its ok, I’m not here to hurt you,”// Ronnie soothed. The creature seemed to listen as it came crawling to Ronnie. It nibbled on the hem of her pants until, it was tugging her to come with it. Ronnie obeyed, speechless at the gesture. After about fifteen minutes of being led, they arrived at a wall of really tall bushes. //Why are we here,// Ronnie thought. Her question was answered when she pushed aside the branches. //This place is more gorgeous than the campsite.// This place had a rainfall that glistened even at night time, More luscious leaves, and a green scenery that could make someone cry. //“This is gorgeous,” Ronnie said allowed.// //Ronnie was about to run back to the campsite and get everyone up to see this wonderful place. That is, until the creature looked up at her with eyes that said don’t. Ronnie didn’t want to go against the creature so she simply gave a nod of the head and with that went on her way back to the campsite.// Morning came and it was time to leave. She promised the creature and herself that she would be back to visit every once in a while. Once home Ronnie was asked about her trip. //“Did you do anything adventurous?”// asked Ronnie’s father. //“Oh you know, The same old same old,”// Ronnie answered, winking over her shoulder as she walked to her room.
