Annie Saves the Day!

Annie is about to board the plane.  She finds all of her friends inside. She sees Sapphire the brown dog, Scotty the gray dog, and Tallulla the brown monkey.  Annie takes a seat next to the window.  She can't wait to take off.

All of the sudden, she feels the plane start to shake.  She peeks outside her window and sees they are finally starting to move!  The ground is getting farther away as the plane rises to the sky, above the fluffy clouds.  They are going so fast!  Annie sees all of Pet Land zoom underneath her.

"Are you excited to go to Belleville?" asked Tallulla.

"Yes!  I can't wait!  I have a few friends there and some family too!  They all tell me what a wonderful place Belleville is and I really should come to visit!" said Annie.

Sapphire turned around in her seat, "I'm moving into Belleville.  My twin sisters live there.  Their favorite part of Belleville is the String Shop where they buy all sorts of accessories and clothes."

"It has to be great there," said Annie in awe.  "I can't wait until we land."

"You have a lot of time before we land!  About 5 hours," said Scotty.

"How are we going to wait this long?" asked Annie.

"Easy, just watch the movie!" answered Tallulla.

Annie watched the movie and was so tired the fell asleep.

She woke up to the pilot's announcement, "Pets, something has gone wrong with the airplane.  We will have to land soon to repair–"

The plane jolted and came crashing down to an island in the middle of nowhere in the dark of night.

All the pets emptied out of the airplane.  The pilot came out and said, "The airplane has run out of fuel.  I called a pet from the nearest fuel place and they said they would come in three days.  We need to find some food to eat."

"But we're on a deserted island!  How do you expect we find anything here?" asked Sapphire.

All the pets looked around them at the menacing forest surrounding them like a pack of sharks.

Annie looked up and found something bright orange in a tree.  Then she found another, and another!  What  could it be?

"I'll be right back," said Annie to the other pets.

Annie climbed up the tree with great difficulty, but finally made it up.  She steadily walked onto a branch and arrived to the orange thing.

Once Annie got near it, she noticed something strange about it. It smelled like a tangerine!  Wow!  She had just found food!  With her little teeth, Annie bit the tangerine's stem and down it went.  Annie used a leaf as a parachute to get down safely.

When Annie arrived back at the airplane with all the other pets, the pilot was on the phone with a look of despair.

"Okay," said the pilot reluctantly, and she hung up.  The pilot took a deep breath and said to the pets, "The fuel place doesn't have any fuel left.  It'll take a month before they stock up again."

"Oh no!" cried all the pets.

"Wait," started Annie, "I found a tangerine tree!  We have food!"

The pilot looked up and smiled, "Do you know what's on the tangerine's skin?  Fuel!"

All the pets cheered.  The next day, the pets had gathered enough fuel to start the plane again.  When they arrived in Belleville, before leaving the plane, each pet said, "Thank you, Annie for saving the day!"
