Matt and Emily

A story originally written in an MSN conversation that i was so proud of i had to upload. Dedicated to Emily

The Story of a Boy's Best Friend

There once was a boy called matt

He was seven years old

He wore Glasses

And had no friends

Everybody hated him. And he just didn’t know why!

One day when he was trying to climb the highest tree in the park he fell out!

"Excuse me? Are you alright?” Said a mysterious voice

He stared at her. She had dark brown hair which swept to the side.

"Hi" she giggled

My names Emily, you look like you need some help

"Thanks..."

"Well what’s your name?"
"Matt"

"Matt I love that name!”

He blushed...

"Oh don’t be silly u should be proud you have such a nice name. Nice names are for nice people” her smile got bigger

He smiled as well

Well that makes two of us" he says

They both giggle

"So what are you doing?" she asked him in a sing song voice

"Just trying to reach the top of this tree..." he says pointing to the oak tree he fell from

"Well don’t you know its dangerous to go climbing along, you silly billy"

And so they spent the rest of the day climbing

And swinging

And dangling

Until it was time to go home

"I really would like to see you again" said Emily

"I would love to see you” said Matt

"Tell yah what", she said "I’ll walk yah home, that way I know where you live and I can come and play with you!”

They grinned widely at her amazing idea

So they walked to Matt’s house chatting about great things such as dragons and unicorns and magic castles in the sky

Matt was the saddest he’d ever been once they reached his house and they had to say good bye...

"Don’t worry" said Emily "well organize us a special day out where we can do everything we love to do!”

We can go dragon hunting and build a castle and all sorts!” She shouted

And so they left each other

And just as she promised she was there the next day waiting fully equipped to go dragon hunting wit her dragon slaying coat hanger by her side

She had a spare one for matt too!

And they hunted dragons and rescued princesses all day

(Emily refused to be the princess, she said it was too 'girly’ this upset Matt as he had so wanted to be her hero)

And that day passed like the previous

They walked home

And promised to see each other the next day

And so they did

This happened every day for 5 weeks!

Matt would come home and tell his mother of his wonderful adventures with his BEST friend Emily

But for some reason mother just got worried...

It must be the dragons that worry her thought matt

They can be awfully tricky things

Then one day a most peculiar thing happened

A man came to Matt’s house and started asking him especially peculiar questions

And they were ALL about Emily!

Matt suggested the man ask Emily herself

But for some bizarre reason she wasn’t there today

Perhaps she had a man in her house asking weird questions about Matt!

Then matt had to leave the room as the Dr and his mum had an "adult conversation"

He knew it was about Emily...

He saw the man a lot

Every Wednesday for 2 months

And Emily never seemed to turn up on Wednesday

Then one day some men came

In a big white van

They took Matt

And they kept telling him everything was going to be alright

But Matt new it wasn’t

They took him to a big building

Even bigger then school!

And they put him in a room with a big mirror on one side

This was when matt got REALLY scared

All he wanted was Emily!

Where was Emily?

He hadn’t seen her in so long

He missed her terribly

Matt spent the whole night in that room

But he couldn’t sleep

He just kept saying "how ever will Emily know where I am! I didn’t leave a forwarding address!"

The next day he was taken to a long table

With some very clever looking men and women on the other side

They asked him a lot of funny questions

All about Emily!

He answered them all truthfully

And then they talked to each other

They used such big words!

It hurt Matt’s brain just listening!

He got sent back to the room

And a very friendly looking woman came and sat down with him

"Matt" she said

"About Emily..."

"Emily’s my best friend"

"...she’s not real"

This confused matt

What a mean thing to say"

Of course she’s real!

Sure deep down Matt knew the dragons and unicorns were real

And the gold treasure was just leaves

But Emily was his best friend!

And she was his best friend whether she was an ultimate dragon hunter or not!

But the not-so-friendly woman just kept saying it over and over again

After a long time she left

And matt cried

He cried and cried for what seemed like forever!

His fresh white shirt they had given him was all wet by the time he heard a knocking on the window!

He looked outside through the bars

And there she was!

Emily!

As real as anything!

“Emily” he shouted!

You simply MUST get me out of here!

The people in here are crazy!

They keep telling me your not real!

He looked at her expectantly

She frowned

"That’s because I’m not real" said Emily

Just like the dragons

And the unicorns

And the gold

"I don’t understand" said Matt a tear starting in his eye

"Don’t cry matt! Let me explain

Think matt

Think about all the good times!

All the dragons

The pirates!

The ninjas!

Have u ever had such fun matt!

I’m your best friend matt

No matter what they say

Do you remember when we found that dead squirrel

And you cried and cried

But I told you not to worry!

And we buried it

And had our own little funeral

And you were the priest!

And you said that beautiful prayer!

And we left daisies on the grave!

Think matt think!

Then tell me...

Who is real?

These people who lock u in this tiny room

With bars on the window

And an ever so uncomfortable bed

Or me

Your best friend in the whole wide universe

Emily smiled her big beautiful smile

Come with me matt

Some with me to our castle in the sky

Emily reached out her hand

And matt took it

Together they flew off

Into the sun
To hunt dragons
