Land Of Stories Role play (Closed to 1)

Take it away.

Alright... Land of Stories... let's see...

"Grandma! Tell us a story!" Little John pleaded. He and his twin brother Josh were visiting their grandma's house, one of their favorite places in the world. One thing they could both agree on was that they loved grandma's stories. She would pull out her storybook that was called, "The Land of Stories" and read to them every time they came over. Sometimes they would ask to hear a story a second, third, or maybe even hundredth time, it seemed, because they loved them so much.
John sat on the floor at the foot of grandma's armchair where she sat.
"Oh, alright, you boys..." their grandma said affectionately before pulling out her storybook. "What shall it be this time?"

"Read Red Riding Hood, Grandma." Josh replies

"Oh, alright..." she says. She flips open to a certain page, and begins to read.
"Once in the little woods inside the Kingdom of-"
"No! Skip to the end!" John pleaded.

"Please Grandma?" Insert puppy eyes.

"Well, to which part?" Grandma asks.

"Where the wolf eats her Grandma, then her!" squeals Josh.

"That doesn't happen!" John protested. His brother could be so naughty sometimes.
"Settle down, you two, or I won't read the story." Grandma threatened kindly.
John immediately quieted down and sat perfectly still.

Josh followed his brother's example, only to prove that he was better.

"Now..." their grandma continued, "Little Red Riding Hood said, 'Why grandma, what big teeth you have!' 'All the better to eat you with!' Red's grandma cried, but then, it wasn't really grandma! It was the wolf!"
John gasped, even though he'd heard this story a million times. "And what next, gramma?" he asked eagerly.

"The wolf eats her!" cries Josh, while scaring his brother.

John yelps in surprise, but then pushes Josh back. "Nuh uh! Quiet!" John pleads, turning back to their grandma. "Keep reading, please!" he asks.
Their grandma keeps reading, "But then, she survived! The end."

"What? That isn't the whole story Grandma."

Grandma laughed. "Yes, I know, but you've heard a million and one times. Why don't you finish it?"
Before Josh could answer, John shot his hand up in the air, but he didn't wait to be called on.
"Little Red Riding Hood and her grandma both got swallowed by the wolf! But then, the Hunter came and killed the wolf, and cut his stomach open to let Red and her grandma get out!"
He was very proud of himself. It was a strange proud.

"John, you can't just talk without being called on. And, Grandma was going to call on me anyway." Josh retorts.

"Nuh uh!" John insists.
"Shh, both of you naughty little boys," Grandma says affectionately. "Or else the big bad wolf might come."

"Yes Grandma" Josh replies with puppy eyes.

Grandma smiled, and closed the book. She put it up on her shelf and turned back to the two boys.
"You two are really special, you know that? You're gonna see great things as you get older."
At the time, neither Josh nor John knew what she meant, but it sounded cool to the seven year olds.

---Seven Years Later---

John sat on his bed, looking at the photo of his family in his hands. His dad, his mom, and his brother Josh, with him, smiling back. That picture had been taken seven years ago... right before his dad died.
John was fourteen now, and a freshman in high school. Ever since his dad's death, he'd never been the same. The only person he ever really talked to was his twin brother Josh. But even then, he wasn't regularly happy. A part of him was missing. His best friend, other than his brother, was gone.

Josh was sitting on his bed, listening to his rock music, and fingering a picture taken right before his dad died. Years ago, he had been an innocent kid, but know he was mostly isolated. He didn't have any friends, and he didn't get the best grades. He didn't care too much, only that he passed. He only really talked with his brother, but John always looked on the bright side, and Josh felt like nobody really cared, except for his mom, brother, and grandma, who were the best people in the world.

John finally got up and left his room to knock on Josh's door.

When josh heard the knock, he looks up, turns his music off, and opens the door to see John.

"Hey." John says. "You ready?"

"For what?" Josh asks.

"For school?" John said, raising an eyebrow.

Oh yeah." Insert slight chuckle. "I forgot for some reason." Josh says with a smirk.

"It's Monday." John says dismissively.

*Crickets chirp* "I was implying that I forgot that it was Monday." Josh says slowly.
