It is a story of a girl who lost her parents in a war. The girl was staying with her grandparents when everyone got to know about what had happen to the poor girls parents .Her grandparents full with tears, looked at the girl who had barely know her parents, her name was Stacy .Stacy was also full of tears when his grandfather handed her a letter from her parents, the last letter, then her grandmother hugged her as she tremble with fear. Thinking now what will she do? Then she told herself this that it is probably a dirty lie or a joke, my parents would never leave me alone by the way they promised to me there self that they will come back and then they will give me some ice cream. Then she looked at her grandparents and said, "This is probably a stupid joke and you know it don't you?" They didn't answer. Stacy had tears, she said, "but they said they won't leave me for long they would come back and buy me some ice cream, this is not fair, they never lie, I believe they will come". Then she ran outside the house .She then went to the little park they had in the area. Then she sat down washing her tears away and then opened the letter the letter was blank. She got confuse she saw the other side and saw a number in the center it was written 102102102 she saw that and got angry she tear the page and started crying then a little later when she saw the letter pieces, she noticed they had became water drops. She rubbed her eyes but still she couldn't believe what she saw. Her grandfather came and told her to lets go home, he was controlling his tears for the sake of the young girl. After they went home Stacy's grandfather told Stacy to not go to school tomorrow. Then Stacy laid down putting her head on her grandmother's lap. She went into deep sleep soon. When she woke up she was at her bed. She saw many people slippers on the door and could hear people talking to her grandparents, she went outside. While she was walking, she noticed someone was following her. She turned back and saw there were a cute girl and a tall man. Both of them started looking back. Stacy ignored them and started going straight. After a while, she looked behind and saw them both again. Both of them turned quickly. Stacy got angry and shouted at both of them, "why are you following me." They looked at her and said "we are not following you". Stacy then looked at their caps, both the caps had this number written on it, 102102102. Stacy was about to ask about the letter but before she did the girl give her a letter and both the girl and the man ran away. Stacy opened the letter and again at the back side, it was written 102102102. Stacy felt strange. She was hearing people saying 102102102.She went there and saw people saying 102102102.Stacy said what is with the number 102102102. Then she couldn't believe her eyes but a strange flying vehicle came from the sky, it was shape like two cups joined together with a large fat stick. The man who gave Stacy the letter said, "After you my lady". Stacy said, "I am sorry but you got a wrong person". Then the girl who was with the man said, I don't think so if we got a wrong person so please join us. Before Stacy could say anything the girl held Stacy's hand and ran in the vehicle. The man went along them. Before Stacy sat, the vehicle started flying. Stacy quickly sat on the comfy seat. The girl said, "by the way my name is Jessie". Then the man said, "Hello my name is Sam". Stacy said, "I don't want to know your names I want to know where I am and where I am going". Sam said, "We know you are upset so we are taking you to the spirit way so you can talk to your parents, they can't see you sad". Stacy said, "What do you think that is possible?" Jessie said, "Look around do you think this is possible?" Stacy looked around there were many flying vehicles each in a different way. The place was so beautiful. Stacy said, "No". Jessie and Sam smiled. Then Stacy said, "how do you know my parents I don't believe you". Sam said, "I can tell you there name then you might believe us, your father name Harry and your mother name Angela." Then Jessie said, "We know your parents because they are the one who told us to bring you." Stacy said, "well I don't want to go to them, they don't love me anymore if they did they would never left me alone at the first time." Sam said, "What?" Jessie said, are you really kidding me? You know what because of your parents love for you, you are going to the spirit world and usually humans are not allowed in the spirit world but you have to be here no matter if any rule is broken you know why because they became spirits before you ate your favorite, yummy and sweet mango ice cream." Stacy asked why any human didn't come here before. Sam told her because only those who know the secret code can go. The vehicle stopped and they went down. Stacy saw her parents who were running towards her. They hugged Stacy with tears. Stacy said, "why did you leave, grandma and grandpa were so sad." Stacy's father said, "Dear some things are not up to us, we are sorry." Stacy mother said, "we are so sorry we made you come here I just wanted to feed you ice cream and tell you to not worry for us we will always be watching you." Stacy said, "but I can't see you I feel like this is just a dream but I forgive you and I was never angry by the way I don't want ice cream I want to go home and forget everything that happened and I want to leave now and I am sorry if you were worried but I don't want to care anymore after all you are leaving me so just tell me how to leave and then I really will forgive you." Stacy's mother was full with tears, Stacy's father said, "You have to repeat the secret code." Stacy looked back and said, "I am sorry but I need to comfort my grandparents because you want do it." Stacy repeated the code and she was where she came from. She went home saying hello to her grandparents and telling them everything is fine now so they don't have to worry about her. Then she went to bed after she ate the dinner telling her that everything is fine now but the whole night Stacy actually couldn't sleep at all. She tried but she missed her parents more than any one. She cried thinking what have she done. At morning she went to the spirit world as she decided to say sorry. She went to the flying vehicle again it left her to that place again. She looked around but she couldn't find her parents then she saw Sam and Jessie. She ran to them and asked about her parents they told her that they went to the Frost. Stacy asked what a frost is. They told her that is a place where people go to forget their memories so they can relax, we stopped them but they didn't listen. Stacy said, "It is my entire fault I shouldn't had been so mean I know I am a bad girl but will you please help me this once." Sam said, "We would be always ready to help you." Jessie said, "Let's not waste time and go quickly."They went to another vehicle and rushed quickly. Soon they had gone to the place known as the Frost. They found a shortcut so they were able to get there faster Stacy apologized, stopped them from forgetting things and this time Stacy bought everyone the ice cream herself not only that but also Stacy promised her parents to visit them every day. When Stacy went home she told her grandparents everything. Then Stacy asked Sam and Jessie that why she could see them at the human world if they were spirits. They told Jessie they were born like this for some reasons, maybe it was a power given to us to help you. They laughed and the rest was a lot but I am not having time to explain everything at least they got ice cream. Oh I love ice cream.
