__The Contest__ Joey and Tiffany were best friends. They did everything together, and loved to win things. Joey played football and had a lot of trophies. Tiffany got medals because she loves to dance. One day Joey saw a poster for a bubble-gum blowing contest that was going to be in town the next day. They both entered, and both really wanted to win. Tiffany told Joey she could definitely beat him, she knew how to chew gum since she was five. Joey knew that was true, but he could blow bigger bubbles than her when he really tried. Tiffany was mad at Joey for thinking he was better than her. She knew she could win. She didn’t talk to Joey and started walking home so she could practice. Joey was mad at Tiffany for bringing up the fact that she could do it before him. He was a little older, so it wasn’t fair. Joey stormed home to practice, without talking to Tiffany, either. The next day at the contest Tiffany stood with her brother, and didn’t look or talk to Joey. Joey stood with his parents, and didn’t even bother to say hello to Tiffany. The two ex-best friends were in different rounds, and Tiffany was up first. There were other kids from their grade in her round, but she easily blew the biggest and advanced to the next round, the semi-finals. Joey was in a different first round. He was up against big fourth graders, but in the last seconds, his bubble grew and he passed onto the semi-finals. By the end of the day, Joey and Tiffany were in the championships, along with another third grader. They didn’t look at each other. Or talk to each other. Joey and Tiffany took a deep breath, and started chewing their gum. They had one minute to blow a bubble, and at the end of the time limit, the person with the biggest bubble wins. It was even most of the time, but with fifteen seconds left, the other kid started pulling ahead. Joey and Tiffany started blowing their hardest; Harder than they’ve ever blown before. Then, all of a sudden, POP. Joey and Tiffany opened their eyes to see the biggest bubble they’ve ever seen right in front of their eyes. And it was theirs. They’re bubbles had combined! ** PAGE 10  ** The buzzer went off, and the judge’s looked at the bubbles. They automatically picked Joey and Tiffany’s bubble as the winner, and handed them each medals. They looked at each other, and forgot that they had been in a big fight. Nothing was worth more than their friendship. The End
