The Mysterious Adventure

By H.Yashnashree

One summer afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and Lakshna, the younger sister, was playing a treasure hunt with Yashna, the middle sister. Suddenly, a delivery guy came inside the house. He said," You have three packages". Yashna excitedly called Juana, the elder sister. The three sisters opened the packages. That was a VR home set. Each of them got one. Yashna said it looks stunning. Yashna turned it to the side panel and opened it. There was a keyboard, and she typed the dragon world. Yashna wore it. Suddenly, there was fog.

There were two dragons, and they were chasing them. Yashna ran for her life. Then she saw an ice cream shop. Yashna went inside, and a dragon was wearing a butler costume. He was fit. He wore a white T-shirt, black pants, a green tie, and a badge saying that John. He said," What would you like to eat, Madame?". Yashna stared at the place and said," I like to have hot chocolate and a vanilla sundae". The butler said, "Here is the menu".

Yashna stared at the list and murmured," Seriously, there is nothing a human can eat". The dragon kindly said," You can trek to a mountain where there is a magical flower, which is a human flower. If you eat it, it will be like human food". "Thank you a lot," she said. Meanwhile, Lakshna took her VR set and typed in a side panel as ‘The Coco Melon World." When she went there, she saw a baby called Jiji. Lakshna and Jiji went to Jiji’s school bus and headed to school.

At school, his teacher shook hands with Lakshna, and they did the painting. They painted whatever they wished. Lakshna did finger painting, and Jiji did a funny landscape. That time Juana typed in her VR set to go to a racing bike. She chose a fire engine bike and started it. There were options for where she could go, so she went to the dragon world. Juana had fallen in love with the beautiful landscape.

Yashna was very bored. Looking around, she realized that it could take a day to explore the big world. Suddenly, Juana came into the fire engine. While she came, a big gust of air took her hair out of her eyes. She said, "Bravo! Yashna, what were you doing here". She said," I was discovering this new world". "Shall we get a good dessert", said Juana. "Hop on ", said Yashna. I have asked the butler at an ice cream shop. He said," There are only spicy dishes and desserts". There is nothing for a human to eat. Even if there was something fit to eat, we would have to pay them with marbles.

Juana said," Is there any relaxation resort"? Yashna chuckled, "Girl, that is a good idea, but I don’t know any resorts here". Juana asked, "Can't we ask Butler instead?". "Yeah, but I think we are 5 kilometres away from the ice cream shop". Meanwhile, Lakshna was having fun with Jiji’s family. She had a fun time learning at school, and they were having pasta for dinner. They decided to go to the park. At the park, there was a slide, two monkey bars, four swings, and a couple of flowers.

The park had five seesaws. Lakshna and Jiji were playing on the swing. Jiji’s brother and sister played on the monkey bar. Jiji’s best friend at school, Romeo, played on the slide. The dangerous mission to get to a resort did work. By the way, they asked the butler, John. He said, "There is a resort that is 20 kilometres away from here".

It is too expensive and you should pay 20 marbles. "Thank you", the girls replied. Yashna groaned: "Seriously, we are in trouble. We have to sell something to get 20 marbles to go to the resort. Juana and Yashna decided to sell a bouquet. Yashna and Juana snipped out the flowers and tied them with a rope, which is a creeper. Then they sold it to a dragon. He gave them 30 marbles for the beautiful bouquet. The girls were super excited. They went 20 kilometres away and finally saw the resort. It was a luxury skyscraper called Daffodils Resort.

They went to the reception. The receptionist said, "Welcome! My name is Tia. Your room will be number 2. Have a great day!". The girls paid, and they loved the ambience of the resort. Their key was given. The room was not so good. There were no blankets, and the bed was hard. The shower was mostly cold.

Both of them went outside the resort. Juana said," Don’t we need a swimsuit?"."The water will be too cold for the dragon’s life," said Yashna. Then they saw some waterproof plants. "Maybe", Juana said. "We can make a swimsuit out of that plant". Juana and Yashna pulled out the plant, then cut the water plant into two and sewed them into swimsuits. At the swimming pool at Scraper 2, an old dragon with a grey beard ran into both of them and screamed, "Why did you kill my water plant?" he said and left for the gym. Both of them wore the swimsuit and jumped into the water. It wasn’t what they were expecting.

They had designed the swimming clothes for cold water, but it was blazing hot, and then they saw the signboard saying it was the hot water pool. The cold-water pool was another way. After playing in the freezing water, they went to their room. They were feeling hungry, and their tummies were rumbling. Then they went down in the elevator. Someone turned fast on the elevator panel, and it wasn’t an expected ride for them. They felt like throwing up, so they went to the restaurant. They got their menu.

Yashna ordered a peppy cheese pancake, but she whispered to Juana," We don’t have marbles ". The butler said," Do not worry; you don’t need to pay. Whatever you order here is the money of yours at the reception, you paid, and you had given 30 marbles, so what you paid was extra. So we don’t need your money here". "Phew! Thank goodness", Yashna said, and Juana ordered a spicy tong soup. Then they happily went upstairs. They knew the food was disgusting, but they didn’t know why it was so yummy. Then night fell, and both girls took out the VR set from their eyes. Now, they were near their home. Then their grandmom said, "When you went outside, I realized that you were playing with your VR sets, so I followed you wherever you went to keep you safe from the traffic.

I was really afraid when you went to the cafeteria, even though you two plucked your grandfather’s flowers from the garden and sewed them into nothing, and you tried wearing them also, I made the food and pretended to be a resort keeper because the resort people were saying if you are mad, you are not allowed in, so I made the food. So it tasted yummy. I hope you don’t go into any VR dreams. Now your mother is calling you to sleep. By the way, please help me get Lakshna out of the VR set ". The girls pulled Lakshna’s VR set out and gave it to the other grandma. The other grandmother said, "Now, I think your mother is calling you to sleep.

I think you all can play with your VR sets tomorrow". Suddenly, Yashna’s mom screamed at Yashna and Juana, "What were you thinking of yourself"?. In the evening, you jumped into the tub full of water, which I had kept for Lakshna's shower. You both jumped into it and played in the cold water for something. I think your VR sets are making you crazy". Then the girls happily winked at each other and dozed off.
