Silver CrystalPlease post another prompt! Don't let this die!
-
Rainbow RiotParticipantSorry for the late prompt, I didn't see this!
Julie recently moved to a new boarding school. On the first day, she ends up joining the Misfit's Society, a club with only three members. Nicholas, who can't remember the smallest things, David, who has to be the best at everything, and her. One night, while intentionally breaking curfew, Julie plants a lemon tree in the soil outside her dormitory window. The next morning, the lemon tree has crawled up the walls of the building and taken over the campus.

HogwartsThe sunrise on the third of September was beautiful, as the rising sun was illuminating the snow-capped mountains that stood tall around the boarding school, and gold streaks adorned the dusty rose sky. Unfortunately, a small girl named Julie was the only person able to admire this sunrise, because everyone else in the school had woken up to a thick mat of branches, leaves, and the occasional lemon concealing their windows.

Soda PopParticipantChicago"What are we going to do with all these lemons-" David hissed, digging his nails into Julie's arms. Weakly, she replied, "Make lemonade?"
-
Soda PopParticipantChicagoSorry, I'd like to revise:
"But- The lemons- What are we going to DO with them?" David cried, pacing around the dorm. Julie replied, "I dunno… Make lemonade?"

Cracked SidewalkParticipantI didn't know the lemon tree would do what it did when I planted it.
-
Still no name lolParticipantI mean, the lemons were yummy. Though they had some strange side effects.

KittenParticipanttoo young
to voteHow is one supposed to respond when they wake up to see that everything has gone wrong, and it's all their fault?

AzureArtistParticipantwhy?
The Art StudioThe light shone into the dormitory blinding the trio. The plump golden lemons hung from branches, dangling in the morning sun. Julia stared at the beautiful sight but frowned. She didn't mean to plant a tree that crawled up the building and surrounded it like a monster holding a child almost ready to devour it. Julia tried to run outside to chop it down, but bumped into the Head Master. "What are you doing up this early?" he boomed. "I-I was just checking to see if you were awake!" Julia faked a smile and her mangled teeth showed. "Very well," he answered. "But let me check your dormitory." Julia rushed in before the master, attempting to hide the hideous tree. She grabbed the curtains and pulled them shut, then leaped in frontof it trying not to show the evidence.

TwilightParticipantThe sunlight streamed in through openings in something, which was weird, because usually it hit me full blast, with nothing blocking the window. I forced my eyes open and noticed leaves and stems, and a horrific thought came to my mind-the lemon plant.
-
HoneybeeParticipant"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade," was the quote that hung on the headmaster's door. It was weirdly appropriate for the situation, but I hoped the headmaster actually knew how to make lemonade with all these lemons, because I certainly didn't.
Floofy the CAPTCHA says bcfyi. Because for your information? Because what?

Soda PopParticipantChicagoWow, thanks RR! I can't believe I won!
Here's a new storyline:
Never once has Asher seen the sun. Living in a deserted underground lab, he only comes out at night, when the Beasts are gone. Asher cant risk being found by the Beasts- they would take him to the Ship, the great floating city where the former citizens of Earth are kept, away from their ruined planet. Asher survives off wits, scavenged food, and history books. He lives peacefully for thirteen years, until his fifteenth birthday… when everything goes wrong. The Beasts are there, but at night, and Asher is taken into custody. On the Ship, he is tested and examined until the scientists find no more use for him. He is thrown into the prison, where he finds another boy… He won't reveal his name, but Asher makes a friend in the futuristic dungeon. They make plans to escape and one day, they make a move. Asher and the boy board an escape pod and set a course for Earth- only to see it blow up. Far away from the Ship, without a planet in sight, they have to find a way to survive.
I love science fiction, if you couldn't tell 🙂 Thank you again RR for first place!
I'll just on July 10, is that good?-
dreamiingParticipantlost"Hey, is there any sandwhiches? Im kinda hungry."
"Why would you even assume we have food in the first place? Do you think I packed for an endless mission?" -

AtlantisIs this what the sun looks like, an explosion of light and heat? That's not what I thought it would look like, that's not what they said it would look like- that's not the sun, is it…

PantalaI drop to the cool metal floor, scrunching my eyes shut, but the glowing ball of fire that was our only hope is stamped on the inside of my eyelids. I can't escape its picture in my mind anymore than I can escape the astronomical problem I've just gotten myself into.
