How I Earned My Robux

By: Ethan Yu

Last Sunday, I was playing Roblox Bedwars with my friends. When I logged in, an advertisement popped up on my screen. ‘Woah!’ I said. ‘There’s a new update! We need to get level 5 Batlepass premium for the new Loomain kit! We just have to kill a person to get a loomian creature! Seems pretty good!’

I wanted to get the new kit, so I ran to my piggy bank and looked for some money. $67! Sadly, it was not enough. I need 11 more dollars! Therefore, I went to my mom to ask for money. ‘You need to learn to earn money now! Grandpa’s gonna go to China on a three-day tour, and he needs someone to take care of his dog, Bobo. You could offer business to him, and earn the money.’

I was enthusiastic about this idea. I replied to mom, ‘Thanks!’ and ran to Grandpa's house. I found Grandpa sitting on the ledger, luggage in his hand. He seemed to be deep in thought because he had no one to take care of Bobo. I ran up to him and offered him my business. ‘Hi, Grandpa! I heard that you were going to China, and had no one to take care of Bobo. I would like to help you, but in exchange could you give me 11 dollars?’

Grandpa replied to me, ‘Oh? Bob, how nice of you! I have to catch my flight!’ With that being said, he stood up, and said something to Bobo. He took a leash out from his bag and gave it to me. ‘Don’t let Bobo go out without a leash. Okay? He gets terribly restless outside, and could run around the park 10 times without stopping!’

‘Don’t worry Grandpa! Everything will go alright!’ I remembered myself saying.

For the first 2 days, I fed, washed, and brought Bobo to the park. Everything seemed to go well. We went to the park every afternoon and each time he got restless, I would let him run around the park, and he would be kind to me, and find his way back to me.

On the third day, I was walking Bobo in the park. We saw some elderly sitting on the benches, some reading newspapers, some chatting, and some chilling in the sunshine. Bobo was starting to be restless, so I decided to let him run around for a while. I took off his leash, and out of the blue, Bobo went crazy and ran away! I screamed, ‘Bobo! Why are you running away!’ I tried to chase him, but he was too fast. Suddenly, I remembered what grandpa said. Oh no! I thought. I’m gonna lose Bobo! More importantly, I’m gonna lose my Robux!

I called out his name a few times, ‘Bobo! Bobo! Bobo! Come back! Bobux! Wait, sorry I meant Bobo!’ but I couldn’t find any trace of him. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting not far behind me. I whipped around and saw a girl calling out something. ‘Stacey! Stacey! Stacey! Stacey! Where are you?’

I stepped in front of her. ‘Hello! My name is Bob. I was looking for my dog, Bobo. Have you seen him? He is a big burly Siberian husky-swift dog mix, with black-white fur.’

The girl said ‘Hello to you to! My name is Sophie! I also lost my dog, Stacey! She is an American Swift-dog, with tan-white fur! We could look for them together!’

‘Yeah, sure!’ I agreed.

We looked for our dogs, traces, and anything that could lead us to Stacey and my Robux. Wait, sorry. I meant Bobo. We found a trail of dog poop and cleaned it up. We followed the trail of poop, and it led to a bush. We peeked inside and you never would have believed who we saw.

It was Bobo and Stacey!

Moreover, they were sleeping together! Stacey was nuzzled against Bobo’s tummy. We brought them back to our houses, just in time for grandpa to come back. ‘Grandpa!’ I shouted. I wrapped him in a bear hug. I said to him, ‘Bobo found a new mate! Her name is Stacey! Her owner’s name is Sophie, and she’s really nice! Just let Bobo run around the park and then he find her! Just wait and see!’

‘Oh?’ Grandpa seemed surprised. ‘Anyway, here’s the money. And some tips.’

I beamed at grandpa. ‘Thanks!’

I went back home and bought the kit. I was so happy! I won a lot of battles with the new kit, and was really happy.

The End
