Gideon Covid-19/Narrative writing

 Throughout the year of 2020 the entire world has been battling the virus called Covid-19. In Auckland, New Zealand we have been at levels 3 and 4. My siblings and I were watching movies one day then the news bulletin came on about Covid 19 finally being over.We all stared at each other then started jumping up and down like monkeys and screaming with happiness. Our parents came in and asked us¨why are all of you jumping up and down and screaming¨. We all pointed at the TV and said finally. Both our parents saw the news on the television they were so happy and they told us that sometime this week we are going to do something good.We didn't know what was going on but we went to our rooms thinking what our parents were on about. The next day our parents told us that they had a surprise.

They told us to pack a bag each. While we were packing our bags all we could think about is “what are our parents up to”?. They said when we are finished make sure we have everything including our toiletries and put our bags into the car when we are done. My dad said when the bags are packed and everyone is in the car we can go. As we wait in the car for our dad everyone is happy and wondering what's happening because only our parents knew. My dad then asked “do we have everything” because we're not turning back .When we were driving I looked at the time. We had been driving for 45 minutes , then a huge bang I then started looking out the window, and saw people,cars, planes and some food outlets. My parents then looked at each other and said oh no what was that.

My dad looked devastated because he saw that the tyre was flat.Then our dad told us he was going to get an extra tyre and a jack out of the boot and he then said to all of us top exit the car safely so he can change the tyre. My dad finished putting on the extra tyre and told all of us to get back in the car and put on your seat belts so we can go.then my dad said to my mum “I hope it’s only the tyre problem” today.As we drove closer I asked my parents ¨are we at the airport and what's happening?. Our parents said to us ¨we know that this time has been hard but now that this virus is under control we can go on a holiday¨.

On a holiday I replied back to them in happiness. Where are we going? I asked my parents they said it's not a surprise if we tell you. We were all excited because it was our first time going on a holiday ever since this virus took over.We all were getting nervous because we had to get ready to go through security.After 30 minutes going through security we all started to get happier again because we’re getting closer to knowing what was going on. My parents heard the flight number over the intercom and told us “let’s go” we then got onto our plane. Then the flight attendants started doing their demonstration and then we were told to buckle our seat belts before take off. It has been 6 hours and me and my siblings still didn’t know where we are going.

The plane had stopped so I was wondering why we stopped. The captain told us we were at our destination but our parents told us to “block our ears and close your eyes” and we did what they said and they were holding on to our t-shirts and guiding us . We all stopped and asked our parents``why did we stop '' and they said “open your eyes”.Before we opened our eyes to see where we were all we could feel was the amazing hot weather.When we opened our eyes we all were shocked. We all saw the sign and it said welcome to Niue. This is one of the places my whole family talked about visiting and also the Cook Islands. That's why it’s going to be the best family holiday ever.
