Introduction You could see the starry moon

in the night sky, the clouds were floating like

they didn’t have a care in the world. Her silky

brunette hair was flowing through the

moonlight, her eyes where shining bright like

the moon in its beautiful blue essence. But her

tears were flowing like a water fall at its most

powerful moment. My child I will love you

until the end of time but you will never know

who you truly are.

CHAPTER 1

In the south suburbs of Alice Springs, he

yawned as he got out of bed his vision still

fuzzy from waking up; he brushed his red hair

out of his face. He stumbled down the

apartment stairs after getting ready.

He slowly walked over to his neighbour’s

café. The café looked the same as usual with

emerald green vines hanging down and its

beautiful potted plants out the front. Harry

walked inside the café and saw the usual

cashier with brown flowy hair. She seems

nice, but definitely not his type. He took a sip

of his coffee, and enjoyed the warmth. He

took his coffee with him to his book store and

started to drink it there. He loved books it was

his favourite thing in the world apart from

coffee.

CHAPTER 2

Later that day Harry went into the café next

door to sit and have some lunch.

“I’ll have my usual “said Harry to Sarah.

“Coming right up” said Sarah. While Sarah is

preparing lunch Harry notices a flier on the

billboard.

“Sarah what is this flyer about?”

“Oh, it’s just a game show in town that I

decide to enter on Tuesday. “Replied Sarah.

Harry got a brilliant idea; he was going to

enter too!

On Monday morning Harry went to the

convention centre to go enter in the

competition.

“Where do I sign up for the competition?”

Exclaimed Harry

“Right here sweetie “said the competition

Manager

After the sign in, Harry ran back to the Café to

tell Sarah the good news!

CHAPTER 3

Competition day!

Sarah and Harry have arrived at the

convention centre ready for the big day. They

walked through the reception area and saw

lots of people lined up to sign in, so they

joined the back of the line. “It has been quite

hot and dry lately hasn’t it?”

”Yeah!”Said Harry worriedly

“I wonder if one of us will win?” wondered

Sarah.

“Yeah! That will be life changing” replied

Harry. When they got to the front desk the

young posh lady with the golden necklace that

now had a zigzagged dress on, welcomed

them to the show. “Hello, welcome to the

show! Today we will be playing the simple

game Pillow War! Good luck everyone, have

fun!” Off they went into the audience and

waited for their name to be called up onto the

stage. It felt like forever until Harry’s name

finally got called up. ‘Young man, please sit

down on the chair and grab your controller.

The cameras were rolling and One of the

audience members yelled out ‘HI MUM’ and

Harry felt a pang of jealousy .The game

beeped as Harry realised the game was starting

.He stared into the screen and everything went

silent and he started doing the thing he loved

most. He moved the controller with such

speed that everyone was amazed he even

could. [That’s my boy]That when the beep

came to the end he realised that he had won!

That day whenever he passed someone they

would pat him on the back or give him thumbs

up, Harry loved the attention he was getting.

The next day no one was giving him any

attention he was just the same old Harry it had

all blown over, it was yesterday’s news. The

only person who hadn’t forgotten about it was

Sarah. She seemed to remember it like it was

yesterday! Oh yeah it was yesterday, anyway

she was really mad like really, really mad! She

didn’t want to talk about it and she didn’t even

want to talk to him! She was usually so

talkative. Harry thought to himself “well if

she’s not going to talk to me I’m not going to

talk to her.”

CHAPTER 4

There wasn’t much water in the ground to

supply the whole town. Harry was feeling a bit

awkward in the heat. Sarah was serving

thirsty customers at her café. She was running

low on water for the coffee and tea. Thirsty

customers kept on coming all afternoon. Harry

was getting thirsty too so he decided to go to

the café but not talk to Sarah. They both stood

there like they never knew each other, then

Harry asked Sarah if he could have cup of

coffee in a very nasty voice. She said that there

was no water left. But Harry didn’t believe

her.

“You’re just saying that to get rid of me!”

“No, I’m not! There’s honestly no water!”

exclaimed Sarah.

“Look on the news!”

Harry and Sarah discovered that there was a

drought in the Alice Springs area.

The news was spreading quickly around town

Children were crying

People were started to get panic attacks

And going to hospital but without the water

there was no medicine to go around to

everyone.

People were getting flown out of town, Harry

and Sarah just hid in their small apartments

hoping someone would visit them and supply

them with water. Two days past and still no

one had visited them. Harry decided to go

outside and look for something to drink he got

up and walked out of his apartment. When he

got outside he saw Sarah standing beside her

shop she looked devastated, her shop was

ruined. Harry knew that Sarah had put so

much work into that shop. Suddenly Harry

found himself walking over to her then talking

to her! He had given up on not talking to her

“So have you had any customers today” asked

Harry. Harry looked at her; she knew

something that he didn’t.

CHAPTER 5

Harry asked Sarah what was happening in the

town she said “they’ve all evacuated without

us!”

Harry looked at her in disbelief but she wasn’t

joking around. Suddenly they felt the ground

shake Sarah shouted “RUN!” And pushed

Harry out the way but Sarah wasn’t quick

enough and she fell through a giant crack in

the floor. Harry was frozen in shock as Sarah

was hanging from a small ledge. It was

breaking and breaking fast! Harry had a

decision he could save Sarah and earn her

trust or he could not save her and let her fall

through the crack and his problem would be

resolved. Harry thought about it as Sarah

screamed he finally decided as Sarah fell he

grabbed her arm pulled her up, and she was

saved.

After that Harry went back to Sarah’s place

and they tried to figure out how to find water,

there ideas were pretty bad until Sarah had an

amazing idea, she heard a rumour that if you

dig deep enough in the Todd River, you can

find water. By the time they got to the river

they were pretty thirsty as you would think.

They started digging and in about two minutes

of digging they found water they got few cups

and filled them up, they took a few minutes to

drink the water was relatively clean because

the rocks washed the water.

‘AAHHH! That was so good’ exclaimed

Harry. With their bellies full of water they

walked back to the town with a bucket full of

water.

CHAPTER 6

They needed a plan if there were ever going to

see civilization again! They took hours and

hours just to think of one plan. They looked at

each other than they looked out the window

and suddenly something burst out of the

ground it was water! It was coming from the

holesign in dug in the river and it was

spreading fast and it was filling up a small part

of the Todd River they had an idea but it was

risky. They ran down to the river and collected

all the things they needed that included: sticks,

big logs, leaves, old wood from Harry’s

bookshop, paper coffee, Harry’s bedsheets and

flouties and noodles from the local pool.

What did they need all this stuff for? For a

boat, of course, the river stretches a long way

so they thought if they can build a boat

because the river was filling up they could sail

along the river and back to civilization,

woohoo!

After they had collected all the supply’s they

started to construct the boat. First they made

the base of the boat and then they made the

bow and the sail. After about an hour they

have finished, it was beautiful they stood back

and gazed at the boat in all its glory.

CHAPTER 7

They needed supplies so each of them ran

back to the apartment to get what they needed

and there most treasured belongings, Sarah

grabbed her water bottle, jumper and teddy

bear (Cuddles). While Harry went back and

got his beers, his laptop and a photo of his

mother before she died. When they got back to

the boat they looked at each other and Sarah

said “Are you ready?” Harry replied with

“Ready as I’ll ever be!”

“Then let’s go!” she said

“Ok!” Harry said excitedly.

Then they both got on board the SS Bubbles

(the boats name). Wobbling as the boat tipped

side to side unstable; when they were comfy

they started to row with the noodles they got

from the local pool. (What’s wrong with

rowing with noodles?) Anyway they were

rowing at a good speed, until the boat started

picking UP speed it was getting faster and

faster and it was getting hard to steer, the wind

was getting stronger and they saw a BIG dip

coming up ahead. They were stressing out so

they doubled their noodle power by getting

two more noodles and to their surprise, it

worked!

When the wind was calming down and the

boat started to slow down the found that BIG

dip was just a tiny little dip that was nothing to

worry about.

CHAPTER 8

By the time they had completely calmed down

about that traumatizing experience the sun

was setting and it was getting dark. They were

both smiling and they were quite happy that

they survived the drought and they were on

their way to start again.

The two were just sitting there starring at the

beautiful sunset when Harry realised that he

truly loved Sarah she was beautiful with her

long brown hair flowing in the wind and her

big blue eyes and her perfect smile

He decided he was going to tell her but then

he chickened out. But then unexpectedly she

told him something he will NEVER forget

“Do you want……some chips?” (Nooooo!)

“Just kidding do you want to be my

boyfriend?” (Yes!!!)

Of course Harry said yes!

As they were leaning in to kiss the boat

wobbled and tipped over and they got trapped

under the boat. They were panicking; they

didn’t know what to do. Just as the water was

rising a bright light blinded them, they realised

they were floating when they could see once

more they saw a beautiful angel she said that

she was Harry’s mother. At first they didn’t

believe her but then Harry took the photo of

his mother out of his pocket he held it up next

to her, he looked for a while then he realised it

was true she was his mother.

Dear reader,

Harry’s mother, the angel, is truly and will

always be… Me. Yes that angel is really me,

I’m Harry’s mother and I’m the one who’s

been telling the story the whole time, and I’m

about to continue it.

After they had figured out that I had been

watching them for all these years just waiting

for this moment to happen I had put them

down and had flown back to heaven. I

watched them leaning in and you know what’s

happening next… they kissed.

WILL THEY MAKE IT BACK?!

To be continued….

THE END!

Harry the book store owner and Sarah the

café owner never thought they would hate

each other, and then fall in love with each

other…….
