made-up story

1. A unique story devised from one's imagination. Mommy, I want a made-up story tonight, no books. Make up a story about princesses and dragons! The kids I babysit get so enthralled by my made-up stories.

2. A lie. When John was late yesterday, he gave the boss some made-up story about his dog breaking his alarm, which did not go over well. You're a terrible liar, so stop feeding me all these made-up stories and just tell me what happened to my car already!
