The Good, the Bad and the Moxie

It was a terrible, rainy day.  It was pouring rain and the clouds were so dark that you couldn’t see a thing. The Rankles were scared that they would not be able to go on their cruise vacation on the MET ship. Surprisingly enough an hour later the sky was clear and blue. Violet and Patricia, the Rankles’ daughters, had a cat named Maximilian, Moxie for short. Moxie was an extremely interesting blue and red striped cat with very chubby cheeks. Violet and Patricia really wanted to take Moxie with them so their parents checked the pamphlet and it said that only cats were allowed.

The Rankles left for the Pacific Ocean. It was a six hour drive. It was very boring for Patricia, but Violet had Moxie to play with. When they got there they were so happy to be out of the car. Once the ship left, Violet was looking around and she spotted her friend, Lucy.  Lucy was one of Violet’s very good friends. Lucy also had a cat named Moxie and they always had arguments of who thought of the name first and Violet always won. Violet’s and Lucy’s cats had already met before and they were good friends, too.

The Rankles and the Poorlines (Lucy’s family) met up and they had dinner together on the ship and the cats went to to go look for dinner. Then the Moxies suddenly saw a weird thing fall from the sky (it was a Flobbie) and it started bouncing around and the Moxies didn’t know what it was. A Flobbie is an animal that is the size of a softball and it doubles every time it blinks, which is once a day, The Rankles’ Moxie thought it looked like a great snack. He jumped up and hit the Flobbie down. At that point the Flobbie was dead. Then both Moxies split the Flobbie in half with their claws and ate it. All of a sudden they started doubling but no one was on the boat saw them because they were eating dinner in the Dining Hall.

The doubled Moxies were not nice, good Moxies. They were filled with evil and cruelness. The bad Moxies started to play with the two good Moxies. They were playing tug-of-war with at toy mouse. The good and bad Moxies went to take a break on the side of the boat when the bad Moxies unleashed their evilness and started a fight. The fight started out with the bad Moxies hissing at each other, which led to scratching which led to biting. The worst it got to was four bad Moxies falling off the boats. Then all the bad Moxies were scared of falling off the boat, too. so they ran away. Lucy and Violet’s Moxies walked back to their boat rooms with a few scratches. Lucy and Violet were scared about what had happened to their cats but they fixed up the scratches and forgot all about it.

Violet’s and Lucy’s vacation was over and they were heading home when the boat stopped because the captain was steering the boat the wrong way. Violet and Lucy wanted to see what was going on so they walked to the captain’s steering room and went inside. The captain was tied up to a pole and there was an evil guy steering the boat. The girls were so scared they ran off to get help. They went and got their Moxies but when the Moxies woke up they started doubling again. Lucy and Violet didn’t know what was happening and soon their rooms were full of mean, evil cats that scratched and bit. They thought this was a perfect way to scare the bad guys away and to get the rope off the real captain. Once they gathered up all the cats, they brought them to the steering room and the bad guys got scared of all the evil looking cats that he ran away to one of the lifeboats and paddled away so fast that in a minute they couldn’t see him anymore. Then the Moxies bit and scratched the rope around the captain and freed him. Then the captain thanked Lucy and Violet for helping him and for that he let them steer the ship home (with help from himself, the captain.)

While Lucy and Violet were steering the ship with the captain the bad Moxies snuck into their suitcases, When they reached home Lucy and Violet went to their rooms and put their suitcases in the car and drove to their homes. What they did not know was that the bad duplicates of the Moxies came with them.

When Violet got home she went upstairs and when she unpacked her suitcase tons of evil Moxies came running out. Right away Violet called Lucy. Lucy said that she had lots of evil Moxies, too. The two of them thought for a long time and then they figured out that they would train the bad Moxies and then give them away to the orphans at the local orphanage. So they did just as soon all the Moxies were as trained as the original Moxies.

On the drive to the orphanage both Lucy’s Moxie and Violet’s Moxie threw up. After they threw up they stopped doubling. Violet and Lucy thought that something they ate made them double. They got to the orphanage with double as many Moxies that they came with. After they handed out doubled Moxies to the kids at the orphanage, when they left the handed them out to people on the street. Then they went home with one Moxie each and had a grad rest of the day playing with their real Moxies.
