Halady and Ailee are sisters. Ailee is eleven, and Halady is ten. Ailee and Halady have moved into a new house far away from their old home because their mom and dad wanted them to take art school and are trying to get used to the new life styles there. The first evening in their room they're drawing pictures to make good first impressions to the students at their new school, but whenever they talk, many echoes trail after their words. This is a very strange thing, seeing that their room is pretty small. And most of the echoes don't sound much like their own voices, and they only come from the left wall. They now know that they are not echoes, because after they say something a shadowy bubble pops into the left wall, and then the echo comes afterwards. After some time of being freaked out they start passing notes, but after they pass a note, the same note comes through the wall as if the wall is not there. Halady punches the wall to see if it's just an animation, but to her it is solid. Ailee and Halady decide they're going to forget about it and go to sleep thinking this is just a freaky dream.
But when they wake up, they are in a completely different world, a world where little things are giant, where they are sleeping on a leaf. Strange beetles the size of them are flying towards them, so now Halady and Ailee are jumping from leaf to leaf trying to get away from the giant black beetles. They get strangely tired again and fall asleep thinking they're safe on the leaf far away from the beetles, but when they wake up again they're in another different setting: now they're in a stick cage boiling over a pot of what looks like lava but is actually just tomato juice. Beetles are surrounding the cage at every side and apparently they can talk. They say that they are good and just want to bring us to the fairies. Ever since they got here, they have been strangely tired. So they fall into a deep sleep and then wake up in another destination: now they're in a hollow walnut, sleeping on beds made out of soft sticks with covers made out of a leaf, and some human with wings and black curly hair was gathering bagels and setting them on a tray. She tells them her name is Fiona and she is here to help them get well. Halady and Ailee ask what's for breakfast. Fiona responds, "Toad bagels," and hands them each a plain looking bagel. They ask what a toad bagel is and she says that they are bagels with toad guts in them. They are disgusted, but Fiona insists that they are actually delicious. Halady and Ailee take a nervous bite and sees that inside of the bagel is greenish goop and slush, with a little crunch here and there. They both eat the outside bread then find a hole in the bottom of the walnut and slip the inside into the hole. Fiona gives them more and now they know that they will have to eat them. They try the inside and find that it is great. They ate and ate them like crazy until they could nearly burst. Halady and Ailee then ask if they can get out of bed to explore. But Fiona strictly tells them they have to stay in bed for three years, this gets Halady and Ailee a little worried and now they are trying to plan an escape.
A little after breakfast a fairy looking nicer and younger than the other fairies comes in and greets them into the Echo Fairy Land. She tells them her name is Nicole then asks what their names are, they can't remember their names so they make them up: Halady is Tori and Ailee is Saitie.
They eat more and more bagels everyday, and they also seem to forget more and more everyday. Pretty soon, they forget their old life and come into the spells and trances of the Echo Fairy Land- the land where fairies trick their prisoners into becoming one of them. Some time after meeting Nicole they are aloud to get out of their beds, but can hardly walk since they'd been in their beds so long (they haven't actually been in their beds for three years, Fiona said she was exaggerating.) Nicole helps them walk to a job choice-in the Echo Fairy Land you pick a job to do and that is what you will be good and talented at. The job choice is making envelopes. Tori and Saitie-now Tori and Saitie- go threw what seems like a million job choices before they pick the one they want, they pick Fruit Finding. Their job is to go around a small woodland gathering the good fruits for the market. It gives them time to talk about their escape plan and to talk about the people there. Now, they only trust Nicole, because the other fairies they have met are becoming strange and are trying to be nice in a strict way that Tori and Saitie don't like. They share their escape plan with Nicole but Nicole does not want them to escape, she tells them that very bad things will happen to them if they escape, punishment they've never experienced in their lives before, and won't want to experience it. Nicole tells them she knows this because once she tried to escape.
A little bit after that talk they learn that Nicole is a prisoner that had been captured from the good fairy land, and they also meet another fairy, a boy fairy named Kent. He hates prisoners to be tricked, so he's trying to show them that they're the bad fairies. He shows this by attacking and grabbing at Satie, but he gets injured during the fight and goes to the fairy hospital to recover. When he gets out of the hospital he starts to be nice to them. Tori and Satie decide to stay a little longer there but all the fairies except for Kent and Nicole are being stern and a little mean to them. They eventually refuse to eat any more toad bagels and the spell on them starts to wear off. They remember their old life and everything, even their names. They convince Nicole to stop eating them and now she remembers everything in her old life. Halady, Ailee, and Nicole feel destined to go back to their old homes. They make an escape plan and leave during Halady and Ailee's Fruit Finding night shift. They run away from the Echo Fairy Land, remembering to say a sad goodbye to Kent. But it's not over yet, the fairies are now chasing them. They get Nicole back to the Good Fairy Land, but the Echo Fairies are still on Halady and Ailee's tail. They see the left wall into their room. Will the Echo Fairies get them before they get the wall solid on the other side?
P.S. I played this with Charly last night. What was your name again, Charly? I just made your names because I forgot them, sorry.

Climbing Competition
Irelynn is a ten year old girl who loves climbing trees, and has a fear of pencils. She has a best friend named Shannon, she loves to draw, but has a fear of heights. They're not a great match, but have known each other since they were toddlers.
At their school, there is a competition. A climbing competition, to see who's the best at climbing one of the most advanced trees to climb in the country, in their home state, Nebraska. Of course, Irelynn tries out for this competition. But when she makes it to the finals, she falls from thirty feet in the air and breaks both of her legs, badly. But in the middle of the night, in her wheelchair, she wheels herself to the tree and climbs with only her arms, only making it fifteen feet before slipping and falling, only to meet what is closest to death.
Irelynn has hurt her legs so badly that they have to be amputated, and it seems as if she will die soon.
Shannon visits Irelynn in the hospital often, and Irelynn tells Shannon to finish the competition for her, it's what she had dreamed to accomplish and it couldn't go this easily.
Shannon has to overcome her fear of heights so she can finish the competition for Irelynn. Will she finish the competition without a scratch, or will she end up just like Irelynn?
