7. Dumb Cinderella

7 Dumb Cinderella After we left grouchy Mrs. Morty's, we went to the rest of the houses on our street. I got raisins. And a pencil. And a box of trail mix. I said thank you to all of those people. "This is the fibbingest day of my life," I told Mother. At the end of the block, we turned the corner. Then wowie wow wow! I saw two trick-or-treater girls coming my way! It was Cinderella and her Fairy

Godmother! I just couldn't resist myself, I tell you! I made scary claws with my fingers! And I raised my arms in the air! Then I ran at those two like a whiz! "AAAAA! AAAAA!" I screeched. "I'M SCREAMY THE CLOWN! I'M SCREAMY THE CLOWN!" They stopped very fast and watched me with their eyes. I ran all around them in a scary circle. "AAAAA! AAAAA! AAAAA!" I screamed. Then finally, I got dizzy. And I stopped to take a breather. While I breathed, I made a scary clown face. "GRR!" I said. "GRR! GRR! GRR!"

Cinderella looked at the Fairy Godmother. "Do clowns say grr?" she asked. The Fairy Godmother shrugged her shoulders. "What did she say her name was again?" Cinderella thought for a second. "Creamy," she said. "I think she said Creamy the Clown." I stamped my foot.

"Not Creamy Screamy!" I hollered. "I'm Screamy the Clown. And I can scare the pants off you!" Then I made more claws. And I jumped up and down very frightening. "BOO!" I shouted. "BOO and I MEAN it!" They looked at each other and did more shrugs. Cinderella started walking again.

"Sorry, Creamy. But you're just not scary," she said. The Fairy Godmother nodded. "You're making a fool out of yourself, sister," she said. Then she bonked me on the head with her wand. And she started walking, too. I stood there real glum. Pretty soon, Mother and Ollie caught up with me. Mother said I am acting like a lunatic. And I have to stay with her and Ollie. Then she held my s'penders so I couldn't run away anymore. My shoulders slumped very much. "Yeah, only why would I even run away again?" I said. "'Cause I can't scare a flea, I tell you." I glanced down at my big, fat pants.

"I look like a clown in this getup," I said real embarrassed. I did not feel brave anymore. Finally, Mother let go of my s'penders and she held my hand. I walked real slow and nervous. And I looked for monsters in the dark. Also, I swatted at the air over my head. Or else a bat might land in my clown wig. Mother kept on pulling me. "Come on, Junie B. Move your feet," she said. Just then I heard voices behind me I quick spun around. And OH NO! OH NO! IT WAS A WITCH! A witch was behind me on the sidewalk! And she was walking with a skeleton guy!
