Hope shifted in her chair and lazily leafed through her book. She had read it at least one hundred and thirty times and knew it by heart. Suddenly, her friend Ally ran in the room.1
"How did you get in here?" Hope asked, surprised.2
"Never mind that, I have to find the plot!!!!!!!" Ally cried looking frantically around.3
"Plot? What plot?"4
"Exactly!!!!! I can't find it!!!"5
"But there is no plot. Why are you looking for one?"6
"There is no plot because I lost the plot!!!!!!!!! Now I have to find it!!!!!! And you have to help me!!!!!!!!!!!!"7
"Why do I have to help you?!?!"8
"Because I pulled a name out of a hat and Lauren's never on Allpoetry!!!!!!!!" Hope put down her book. She was beginning to get worried. Half for Ally's sanity, half for her story without the plot.9
"Why can't Sydney help you?"10
"Sydney doesn't have an account on Allpoetry!!!!!!!"11
"Neither do I!!!!!!!"12
"Who cares?!?!?!"13
"You do!!!!!!! You said Sydney can't help-" Hope was interrupted by the door bell ringing14
"Who's that?"15
Hope was about to reply,but Ally had gone back to looking frantically all over for a plot, so Hope answered the door. The man that stood there looked just like George Washington, powdered wig and all.16
"Yes?" Hope asked politely. Ally was now standing behind her looking curiously at the man.17
"I was wondering were I am. Is your father home?"18
"No," Hope replied and slammed the door in his face.19
"You just slammed the door in George Washington's face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"20
"That wasn't George Washington!!!! George Washington's dead!!!!!!! You really like exclamation marks, don't you?"21
"Yes I do," Ally replied, calmly for once. "But we still have to find the plot!!!!!!!"22
"Excuse me, but I'm still very much alive!!!!!!!!" came the muffled voice of George Washington.23
"GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!" Hope yelled back. "You mean you didn't find it?!?!?!" she asked, turning back to Ally.24
"No!!! There's not a plot in this entire building!!!!!!!!!!"25
Then it clicked. There might not be a plot in this building but maybe....26
Ally ran out the door closely followed by Hope. It took them 2 hours of almost nonstop running through traffic, over highways, under bridges, and around overly-huge Motor Worlds to finally reach it.27
"I can't believe we ran all the way to the library," Hope managed to say between breaths28
"Yeah," Ally agreed, "and we could have just walked across the street"29
This got Hope going.30
"What?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"31
Ally nodded. "Look over there."32
"I didn't know I lived that close to the library."33
"Neither did I"34
They dragged themselves into the library and split up. Hope went over to the nonfiction, while Ally headed to the fantasy section. Randomly, she pulled out a book. Time Cat. She had already read it. It was a good story and it had a plot. She read over a small paragraph, but she couldn't find one trace of a plot. She pulled out another one. Inkheart. Ally was very fond of this book. She read a little, but with the same result. She opened another book and another until all of the books in the fantasy section were in heaps on the floor. 35
How could this happen? All of the books that once had a plot were now without one. Harry Potter? No. The Unicorn Chronicles? No. Eragon? Not a trace. Even the ugly duckling was short of one. Something bad was happening. Something very, very bad.36
Ally went over to Hope and found that she had had the same result.37
"This is scary," Ally told Hope.38
"Yeah," Hope agreed. "Of all of the book sections in the library, there's not one plot in the nonfiction section."39
"Well, obviously. I don't think there were any plots to begin with."40
"What?!?! Of course there were plots in-" 41
"Ally!!!! Hope!!!!" Hope was interrupted (again). This time it was by Sydney. She came over smiling like absolutely nothing was wrong.42
"I was just about to call you!!!" She said happily. Then she noticed the frowns on Hope and Ally's faces. "What's wrong?"43
"We can't find the plot!!!" Ally Informed her.44
"Not just the plot," Hope corrected her, "a plot!!!!!!!!!!!!!"45
The look of shock that came over her face was astonishing.46
"What are we going to do?" she asked.47
Ally smiled cleverly "I have a plan...."

-
RANDOM!!!
The most random story I've ever read - very funny though, amazed how you managed to keep it going so long without a plot.
My only slight criticism is that I think the ending could be different, I have no idea how, but I just think you had a random begining, and a VERY random middle, and just the ending could do with being a bit more random, and somehow tie up the end of the story, without leaving the audience wondering what's happeneing next....unless your planning a sequel of course
Keep up the randomness!!
G xx -
Hehe that was my first entry & I'm already giggling manically this is gonna be one funny contest to judge. I love this it's so original. I wonder if you ever found the plot...I think I lost the plot way back when so there's no hope for me! Thanks for entering.
-
Haha, very funny. The main question is, do plotholes do their bussiness in the woods?
Plotlessness is next to potlessness, which isn't high and very legal. I can't wait to see what they do about it.
-
LMAO! I love this.
It's so funny! I always write stories with no plots...they're just funnier. And hey, who needs plots anyway?
-
wow this was certainly original! This is a neat story, I would never have thought of this. It's funny, I was very entertained. You should write more. Thanks for entering, good luck! Jinx
