__**My Story** (Paste Here) __ **FAB 4**  **In the year of 2012 four friends took on the biggest challenge that they and even the Earth has ever seen before. They took on Mother Nature. The world was expected to end that year and Justin, Cody, Mak, Austin, came up with a plan to save them, their town, their country, and the world.** 
 * One day in beautiful Pueblo, Colorado at south high school the Fad four, Justin, Cody, Mak, and Austin, was enjoying just another day paradise as they put it. It was the usual normal boring day at school and everyone was eating lunch when out of nowhere the sirens went off.**
 * “Is it a tornado?” Cody asked in fear.**
 * “No it can’t be we live in Colorado.” Mak reminded him as he went on enjoying his chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. “Then what was it?” everyone was wondering. “Would everyone please report to the auditorium immediately?” Mr. Kovac announced over the school intercom. As everyone rushed down to the auditorium you could just see that even the biggest and the baddest kids in school were frightened by the sirens. When the Mr. Kovac entered the room he had a terrified look on his face. It seemed as if he wanted to crawl under his desk and stay there forever. “Now don’t be scared kids,” he told us as if something bad was going to happen. “The world is going to end in about six hours so we all need to stick together and get through this.”**
 * The whole room became silent. Girls were crying, half of the varsity football team were in fetal positions crying mommy while sucking their thumbs. “We have to do something.” Said Mak in worry. Austin had this look on his face that he had another crazy idea. “Guys meet me at my house in 30 minutes.” He said with an odd smile on his face. So 30 minutes later Mak, Justin and I jumped into my truck and took off to Austin’s.**
 * Justin said with a confused look on his face, “What crazy idea do u think he’s got now?”**
 * “ I have no idea.” Mak replied with the same look on his frightened, pale face.**
 * When we finally got to Austin’s house, he was in the garage with his welding gear on and we weren’t a loud to go in.**
 * “Come on in guys!” Austin demanded. There was a huge green sheet over this weird looking object.**
 * “What in the world did u make this time?” I asked with a puzzled look on my face.**
 * “You all know how I’ve always wanted to build a rocket and save the world?” he reminded us.**
 * “Uh yah!” the three of us answered in unison.**
 * “Well it came true!” Austin replied with a smile the size of the Arkansas River across his face. He pulled off the green sheet and there in front of us was a huge silver rocket with a red stripe across the side of it. Mak, Justin, and I jaws dropped.**
 * “How in the world did u do this!?” Justin asked in such a shock that he about fainted.**
 * “I know people.” Austin stated with an odd, evil grin on his face.**
 * After seeing the rocket we went inside and invaded the kitchen. By the time we were done our stomachs were as big as Mt. Everest to us. To no surprise to anyone I was still eating. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The ground was shaking rapidly, things were flying off the walls and when I looked out the window and there was a giant standing right in Austin’s backyard.**
 * “Cody,” Mak said “what is it?”. I looked over at Mak and his face was as white as the wall behind him. Once again I looked out the window an decided to look up. I couldn’t even see the giant’s head.**
 * When I looked at Austin we both said in unison “THE ROCKET!”.**
 * We raced outside into the garage and jumped in. When we started the rocket, there was a loud boom and then it thrusted backwards and flew out the garage with a big bang.**
 * We had flown right threw the garage door when Austin replied, “My dad is not going to be so happy.”**
 * We flew higher and higher before we finally reached the giant’s head. He was made out of rock and we knew that if we could hit in the perfect spot then we could take this giant down and the world won’t end after all.**
 * After floating around for a little while and shooting the giant with a small laser beam to weaken him a little bit we flew behind him. There in big red and yellow letters was a target that said HIT ME HERE TO DESTROY ME.**
 * “Well how much easier could this be?” Justin said with a big grin across his face.**
 * Austin backed up a few yards and pressed a big blue button and the second he touched it this bright blue beam of light came out of the front of the rocket and the giant was gone. We did it! We saved the town, state, country, and the world. Ever since that day, Justin, Mak, Austin, and I have been known as the FAB 4.**
