 * Finding Felicity's Fear**

I'm best friends with this girl named Felicity. I thought I knew everything there is to know about her, that she's brave, courageous, strong. But, I guess I was wrong. And this is just the beginning of our story.

It all started on one foggy Monday." Hey Jess, come check out the river on the top of the hill." Felicity commanded.

I responded, " I'll be there in one sec." I thought to myself," More like one million seconds." I, Jessica Baryield, was afraid of many things, including running water, heights, flying, spiders, and basically anything you can imagine. On the other hand, My best friend, Felicity Milokate, was afraid of nothing, at least for what I knew.

I heard Felicity's voice from a distance saying," Common, Jess. My mom won't let us stay past dark, and we still have plenty more to do."

I quietly moaned, "Ugh. All I want to do is go home and eat some pizza."

Felicity, who has ears like a rabbit yelled, " I heard that!"

I was almost to the top of the hill, when I heard something that I have never heard before; Felicity scream. " Aaaahh! Aaaahh! Get it away from me!!!"

"What! Are you okay?" I quickly responded.

"No, there's a b-b-b- BEAR!!!" I don't think I was that heroic crouching down on my hands and knees and hiding behind a bush. But, when I peeked out all there was was Felicity gasping for breath, holding a stick and no bear in sight.

"Wow, what did you do?" I asked.

"I just did what my father told me, ' Crouch down on your knees, act like you are surrendering, and when he least expects it, hit him with a stick' ", Felicity said imitating his father's deep voice. We both burst into laughter.

I replied, "I'm just glad that it's over."

"Me, too", said Felicity. As we walked into Felicity's house, her mother yelled, " Pizza's ready!". She looked at our muddy faces and asked, " Where have you two been? You are so dirty."

Felicity responded, " We were outside, just playing with a stick." We both laughed out loud, and that is the day I found Felicity's fear.
