Exceptional Family Story Fiction contest entry Family Day by DragonSkulls ~ FAMILY Story ~ Fiction ~ writing prompt entry

Dad had a great surprise ready for family day. It was almost our birthdays so we knew it was going to be awesome. My twin brother, Joey, along with me, Mom, Dad and Grandpa all jumped excitedly into the car. When we arrived at Ulysses Unicorn and Unicycle Ranch, we all yelled, "Yay!" When the owner asked, Dad and Grandpa decided on unicycles while Mom, Joey and me picked unicorns to ride. "I see you folks chose the flying package today." "Yes, sir, we did, " Dad replied. The man whistled and then a million fairies flew out from the forest and surrounded us. They sprinkled us down with fairy dust and we all began floating. "This way," Dad yelled, gesturing as he started furiously pedaling his unicycle. We rode the unicycles and unicorns to the top of Make-believe Mountain and stopped to rest. "That wasn't the whole surprise," Dad gleefully boasted. Moments later, we were totally shadowed from the sun. An enormous flying saucer hovered overhead and then a huge, red light came down and beamed us up into the ship. For laughs, they had a sign that read, 'This is a no probing zone.' While serving us hot tea and cocoa, they telepathically asked where we wanted to go. Grandpa yelled out, "The Dinosaur age," and we all agreed. "It's your dime," the alien pilot said. We circled the earth counterclockwise until we picked up so much speed it was just a blur. Then we stopped, landed and exited the UFO. It was amazing. We saw brontosaurus, stegosaurus, flying pterodactyls, all of them. It was great. Grandpa got a little ahead of us and one of the aliens yelled, "Hey, I wouldn't get too close to that!" Then instantly, a T-rex gobbled Grandpa up in one single bite, unicycle and all. The same alien yelled, "Ahhhh, tour's over, folks, back on the bus!" Before we knew it, we were on the mountaintop again. While we were gone it had rained a little but was clearing up. That's when Mom said, "Let's ride the rainbow down," so we did. At the bottom we got a free pot of gold from a midget in a green suit. That helped Dad pay for the missing unicycle at the checkout counter. It was the perfect family day, all except for the T-rex devouring Grandpa part. Once we were home, we all took out our souvenirs from the different gift shops. Joey had a pterodactyl keychain with his name on it. Mom showed off her rainbow necklace. I waved my stuffed unicorn in the air and Dad held up his shirt that said, 'I was abducted by aliens and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.'   Writing Prompt No vulgar words, sexual terms, murder, or profanity allowed--no warnings No Stories about Christmas or Christmas Day/ MUST be about a HUMAN family Minimum of 400 and maximum of 460 words No writing on the ONE picture that's allowed /No animation with picture or music One color of font only Recognized Author Notes I figured let them read fiction if it's a fiction contest.
