My Imaginary Friend

Her name is Marsha. I met in a bingo game. Not many people know it, but she's an orphan that turned invisable by a witch's spell.

Now, here is a shocker about Marsha. She's very artisitic and lots of famous artists are her friends. For instince, she once met Van Gough in Paris one night! They climbed up the Ifel Tower and then bungee jumped off it until people started to crowd right underneath them. (Imaginary friends and dead people usually are friends because they are both invisiable. What the kids don't know is that when they say they have an invisable friend, they actually do! Funny how it works, huh?)

Now, how I started meeting her might shock you even more than her friendliness with Van Gough. It all started at my school's carnival...

"Mom, let's play bingo!" I announced, dragging her into the room where lots of old people were. She flushed red and I wondered why. "Honey, don't drag me!" she whispered harshly. "Alright, but, let's play! Who knows, we might get lucky!" She rolled her eyes and faked a smile. Then, she placed her purse on a chair and made me sit next to her. My brother was on the opposite side of her.

A little while later, I only needed one spot for bingo, G23. The old, crippled man who was running it stopped the rolling machine with all of the bingo balls and called out, "G24!" I stood up and almost called out my bingo when mother announced, "No! That's not your number!" I pouted and hopped onto my seat. I really wanted to win a prize.

Finally, only two calls later, it was my chance. He stopped the rolling machine and picked up a blue ball. When I thought his teeth were all going to fall out and he was going to peel over, he yelled with all his might, "G23!" I hopped out of my seat and started high-kicking and jumping around. I screamed, "BINGO! BINGO! BINGO!" Like ten times. Pleasently, his assistent, an equally crippled woman, slowly marched over to my spot with her cane. "Please, dear, don't shout. All of these people have hearing aids turned up to the highest notch, and they were complaning." I blushed and quietly said, "Bingo?" The lady smiled and looked at my card. She removed the chips one by one, which seemed to take two minutes each time. But, happy, with a deep smile on her face, she shouted, "BINGO!" I was so happy and jumped up and down.

At the prize table, there were tons of fantasy prizes. There were genies, princesses, princes, witches, Frankinstin, even the Wolfman! Also, there were nearly twenty invisable friends that were up for sale. All you could see was a sign that said 'Invisible friend, name...'. I didn't want a guy, that'd just be plain weird. Most of the females didn't look very nice or friendly, or even my age. Some were nearly one hundred! So, I picked Marsha. And that's how I got my invisable friend.
