Finding the

Frozen Cup

There once was a secret agent that would set out on the highest of priority missions. She was the best trained, agile, quick, and smart agent in the world. No one knew her real name, so they called her by her code name, The Messiah. The missions she was sent out on were life or death missions that had no margin for error. As she came to work one day she was faced with the most difficult task yet, to find a frozen cup, the ones you put in the freezer and the inside freezes and stays cold, in a Wal-Mart taken over by enemy fighters. This may not seem like the most difficult task, but what is at risk is what is worth the fight.

She prepared for this mission like any other, waking up and pouring a bowl of Reese’s Puffs cereal. They always said that Wheaties were the breakfast of champions, but were they very wrong. She then puts on her secret agent clothes with the most high-end gadgets she could find. She hopped in her car and peeled out of the driveway getting ready for the battle that is coming soon.

She slowly pulled into the Wal-Mart parking and instantly new something was suspicious. There wasn’t a single soccer mom van in the parking lot and we all know that Wal-Mart is practically a second home to a soccer mom. The second suspicious thing happened when she walked into the door and was greeted by an elderly lady with a happy tone and was handed a smiley face sticker. This may not seem to suspicious, but it is, because it’s been years since any Wal-Mart handed out smiley face stickers. Now that she knows that something isn’t right with this Wal-Mart she enters into secret agent mode and begins the quest.

She is searching in the kitchenware section of the store for the right cup. She knew she would have the right cup, because when any liquid was dropped in it the liquid instantly turned into diamonds, now you know why this was such a high end mission. Frozen cup after frozen cup she tested with a drop of water, but not a single diamond was made. She double-checked each one, and then triple checked to no prevail. As she stood there thinking where they could be an older gentleman walked by with some frozen hot pockets and gave her a wink. Then it hit her she wasn’t supposed to be looking in the cup section it had to be in the frozen section! (Continued Next Page)
