Amber Tisdale

One day Amber just laid on her bed with nothing to do. Then all of a sudden a loud voice startled her. It was her dad. He said she had to go somewhere and it was a surprise. She thought that it was going to be something great like a manicure. So, she ran straight to the limo and got in. The whole ride she was thinking of where she could be going. When she got out, she looked up at the sign, it said, "Orthodontic Partners". She hated going to the orthodontist. She told her dad that she wasn't going in there. She said she was staying right where she was. She really meant what she said. Her body guard had to carry her in. They had to strap her down to the chair to get her to sit still. When she got home she said she was so glad to be out of there. Her dad over heard her saying that, so he said, "Too bad, because you're going there next week on Friday at three. You're getting braces." She looked at her dad and screamed. That was the day of her concert! On Friday at three the body guard didn't take a chance, he just picked her up and brought her in. Again, they strapped her to the chair. She screamed so loud that the orthodontist almost gave up, but finally finished. Then Amber shouted, "Those were the worst five minutes of my life." "Mine, too" her father teased. She went home and wondered what was going to happen at her concert. Three hours later she got on stage and asked God to let everything go as planned. She heard the music, turned around, and started singing. Everything was perfect. It was like she didn't even have braces. It was the best night of her life. And she was never scared to go to the orthodontist again.
