Desserted Island

Once upon a time, in land far far away, there was an island. Now, this wasn't any ordinary island. So, you might be thinking that I spelled ‘deserted’ wrong in the title but,  this island has living things on it. So, why is it a desserted island? Well, this island has a curse. Every day at dawn, it will pour all kinds of desserts down on the Island. So today, I'm going to tell you how this came about. 

Once, a really long time ago, on this desserted island, there lived a nice sorceress who everyone on the island knew and loved. But, as she grew older, she began to crave dessert every day. She began to study up on The Magic of Desserts. Soon, she discovered how to make it rain anything she wanted. She made a spell to make it rain dessert every single day. It rained dessert for the rest of her life and she was very happy. when she an old lady she died. The rest of the islanders didn’t know how to stop it from raining dessert and they didn’t have the sorceress to help them eat it. For the rest of their days the island was covered with  desert and soon it became deserted because everyone became tired of all the dessert. Years later, the island became repopulated when a band of pirates ran across the island. Luckily, all the pirates had sweet tooths and ate all the dessert every day. 

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER!

The Color Blue Attacks!!!!!!!!!!!

 Back then everyone loved the color red. Now everyone loves the color blue. Let me tell you how it happened.A long time ago a girl named Joella was playing with her red play set when she heard someone on t.v. say that they found a way to make a unique color. They announced that they would call it blue. Red was vanished from all supermarkets and stores.  Blue was becoming the  best color ever made. When Joella went to her favorite store, Ocelcea, and saw no red anywhere she was surprised. The store even changed their sign to blue. Blue was everyone's favorite color besides Joella’s. She fought and fought for the color red but it never worked. One day Joella gave up on the color red. That is why the color blue is such a famous color.

The Village Red- Fighting to Catch You Up

In the fight of Purple Tornado, Arnold Crimson fought. As they fought, he watched the mighty Tornado back off into the sunset. He watched as his commander screamed out “ 30.7 seconds! A new record!” That’s the Village Red on a daily basis. The Village Red’s skill is fighting. As you just learned, they are very fast at it! 

Once, when all my ideas were being molded together, there was the idea of 4 villages, all corresponding with each other, all with a specific color, and an amazing group of villages set aside for joining. These 4 villages were: Yellow, Red, Green, and Blue. There have been more villages since then, such as Pink, Purple, and the combo village Magenta, but today we focus on the village Red.

Once, when all the villages were being formed, there was the Village Red. Their supreme fighting skills came from the fact that red is the most violent color and is also the color most associated with anger. Their enemy, as you could probably guess, is anyone who gets on their nerves or in their way.

Now there is only 1 question to ask. When will you chose the Village Red?

Holy Cow!

                

                                        Have you ever wondered where the saying holy cow came from? Well here’s exactly where it came from. 

Once upon a time there was a cow named ma moo moo that lived on a deserted island called cha chu chu. On that island everything is lowercased except the start of sentences and only has one living thing on it…ma moo moo. the only thing that ma moo moo knew was himself. Ma moo moo’s parents died when ma moo moo was just a little calf from a storm. 

One day, he saw a little house and decided to go in. Inside he saw a little rocking chair with a little old lady on it sewing.  The little old lady took him in and ma moo moo helped the lady get milk for her to drink and the lady knitted a sweater for him. They were best friends...until one day ma moo moo got ill and the lady did everything she could for him before he died one day when he was asleep and never woke up. Every night the little old lady would say I miss you...you are my HOLY COW. She passed it on to her children, their children and so on. And that is how it happened. 

  THE END

The Attack of Purple Tornado

Hibernae was a regular brown bear who was very shy, smart, brave and, of course, sleepy. One night, Star Tail, a lioness who was patterned like the night sky, alerted everyone that they had to gather the war council. Square Bot smiled worriedly when everyone entered. He said, “My data screening shows that our nemesis, Purple Tornado, is approaching.”

“Oh no,” said Sun Paws, taking his seat around the table. “you all know what happened the last time.”

Hibernae looked around the table at everyone's nodding heads. They were all older than her so they had more experience, she wasn't expected to fight anyway since she was mostly known for sleeping. Everyone began murmuring and Hibernae listened for anything that might help her. 

“He's so...big!”

“...can only be defeated by magic”

“...very dangerous”

“You remember all the destruction…”

Prophetic Voice interrupted everyone by saying, “Everyone, quiet! We need to protect the the lab, the castle and make sure Purple Tornado can't get through the portal and hurt anyone else. Disappearing Tiger and Star Tail, you should guard the portal,” Disappearing Tiger nodded his head, “Sun Paws and Waves In The Sky will be at the castle, Square Bot and I will guard the lab.”

“But...what about me?” Hibernae asked, “Where do I go?”

“ Um…”Prophetic Voice started,

“Don't worry about a thing!” Star Tail interrupted with a smile.

“Ok.” Hibernae said dejectedly  and she walked home as the meeting hall once again filled with voices.

Once home, she flopped on her bed and tried to fall asleep but for once she couldn't. Suddenly, she heard a whooshing sound and when she stuck her head outside, she gasped. It was so windy that stones were flying past like leaves and Hibernae could barely keep a paw hold! She finally forced her way outside and dug herself a hole hoping she would be safe from the storm. She huddled in it for what felt like hours listening to the wind howl and her wind chimes making awful noises. She was just thinking, ‘oh I wish that this awful storm would stop!’ When suddenly, everything was quiet. Hibernae cautiously opened one eye and saw purple, everywhere. She closed her eyes again because the purple looked like it was spinning and she was getting dizzy. 

“Oh little bear,” she heard  a deep taunting voice call from above, “come out from your hole.”

She was, frightened but she was no ‘little bear’ so she leapt out of the hole and troweled in the direction of the voice. She spun around in a full circle until she saw the source of the voice, a towering, swirling, purple figure. In a word:Purple Tornado. (Actually that was two words but, whatever) Not wanting to show her fear, Hibernae growled even more fiercely. Purple tornado just laughed his booming laugh as Hibernae took a tentative step towards him.

“Oh, look,” he taunted, “the sleepy bear has finally come out of her little hole. And while she was sleeping, she didn't even notice what my troops did to her precious house.”

Hibernae quickly swing her head in the direction of her house and gasped, before her, stood what used to be her beautiful, peaceful house In ruins. Angry and upset she hurled herself at Purple Tornado who easily moved to the side, not anticipating this, Hibernae had to skid to a halt so that she wouldn't bang into a tree. She spin around and glared at Purple Tornado who smiled he charged again this time this time knowing that he would sidestep, and when he did, she followed but was suddenly spin around and flung against a tree. Dizzy and even more angry, Hibernae sat down to think. ‘Well, he can only be defeated by magic, so I think I'll get Prophetic Voice over here.’ 

“Oh, none of your friends can help,” said Purple Tornado, “I've knocked them all unconscious. And after I do the same for you, I'lL head through the portal. Mwahahahaha!”

“Wait,” started Hibernae, “you can read people's minds?”

“No, you just said the last part about getting Prophetic Voice over hear aloud.”

“Oh.”

“Well, anyway,” Purple Tornado continued,”on with the duel!”

And so, Hibernae lunged and slashed and ducked and charged over and over again. When Hibernae was getting really tired (Purple Tornado hadn't even broken a sweat, of course, because tornadoes can't sweat) she felt a strange sensation, even more sensational than déjà vu,  and suddenly she was just as tall as purple tornado! ‘This must be the magic we need to defeat him!’ Hibernae thought to herself. So, being the smart and brave bear that she was, she lashed out and with a signal blow, Purple Tornado was no more! Hibernae found her friends and when they came to and she had told them her story, they were so astonished and proud of her that they made her the hero of the month. 

The next week, it was Hibernae’s birthday  and everyone came to her house that had just been rebuilt by the village yellow. After the cake and entertainment, it was time to open gifts! Sun Paws and Star Tail hauled in a giant table and when Hibernae looked at it she saw that ingraived in the top was a picture of her fighting Purple Tornado.

The Village Yellow: A Building Story

The village yellow woke up. Amelia Dandelion called out “ I need a house!” and the village was off on their feet. Amelia gave them the plans and they finished in two seconds! That's the Village Yellow for you. The village yellow’s skill is they can build anything faster than it takes you to say, “ Here are the plans!” The village’s supreme skills started with the base of all things here; an idea.

Once, when all my ideas were being molded together, there was the idea of 4 villages, all corresponding with each other, all with a specific color, and an amazing group of villages set aside for joining. These 4 villages were: Yellow, Red, Green, and Blue. There have been more villages since then, such as Pink, Purple, and the combo village Magenta, but today we focus on the village Yellow. 

As the 4 villages collided, the Village yellow formed. Their supreme building skills were produced from the fact that yellow is the color that is associated with gold, which is a natural rock as well as a color. Their enemy is unidentified, but from the wreckage of the attack of the infamous Purple Tornado, they built their patented Your Village, Your Way machine to help. 

So next time you think about fictional builders, don't think of Bob, think of the Village Yellow. Although the village yellow is only semi-fictional.

How Kansas Got Its Shape

 How Kansas Got Its Shape

By Julia V.

Well Howdy! Listen as I tell you about the bee-a-utiful state of Kansas. As y'all know, Kansas is almost a perfect rectangle, but it's got an odd corner. Well, that all started with a simple land dispute.

Now Kansas was once a beautiful rectangle like Colorado and Wyoming. But Mr. McLandersburg loved to steal land, of course. Mr. Jack Potter lived in the top right corner of Kansas, and Mr. McLandersburg lived in Missouri. McLandersburg, true to his name, wanted that land.

They each began to devise their own master plan. Mr. Potter was a very poor man, but he spent all his money and built a large, protective wall. Mr. McLandersburg was very very rich, and he bought very, VERY expensive cannons! But as the battle raged on, they each saw a new light.

                                             2 weeks later...

Jack Potter signed the agreement to make his property part of Missouri. And that, my friends, is how Kansas got its shape.

Now that is why. You know, the land is still the Potters', but in Missouri. And again, that is how Kansas got its shape.

How The Dogs Got Out

   How The Dogs Got Out

  You may know the saying, " who let the dogs out." Well here's exactly where the saying came from.

One day, a long time ago, there was a dog named Fluffy.  She would act perfect around her owner, Bob, but what Bob didn't know was that Fluffy was very sneaky!  So when Bob went to work, he left the door open, like he always does, and Fluffy went for a walk, and thought what a mess she could make by letting all the dogs out of their houses!  So then Fluffy decided to do exactly that.  She went to the Johnson's house, the Louis house, and many other houses, and let every single dog out!  

When Bob got home, the whole neighborhood was a mess! All the dogs in the neighborhood were going crazy! Then Bob said" Hey! Who let the dogs out?" And since then, no one has figured out( except us ) who... Let the dogs out.

The Job :)

Hmm? Where should I work? Hi, Im Judy. I’m looking for a job. I just graduated high school and my parents said I need to get a job. I’m so annoyed. Let’s see.... Burger Palace? No. Toast Place? No. Ice Cream Loverz? Yes! When I walked in the lady at the counter greeted me and said. “ Welcome to Ice Cream Loverz!” “Thanks! I’m looking for a job are you hiring?” I said. “Of course! We’ve been looking to employ people for awhile now.” The women named Alyssa replied. “Well thanks. When do I start?” I said. “ In thirty seconds. Here is your stuff, Your first job is cash register.” Alyssa said. “Ok.” I replied. I put on my apron and my visor. The color of them are blue and purple. Those are my two favorite colors. When I went to the cash register I looked around the place. The walls were blue and purple and the tables were a brilliant blue. Plus the best part is it is located in Burlington so it is really close to home! When my first customers came in they were a bunch of boisterous teenagers. They walked up to the counter and ordered sixteen chocolate ice creams. I yelled the order to my work companion Tori. She has dark brown hair and blue eyes and has worked here for a decade. She started to make them while the group of teenage boys paid. When their order was up they took their ice creams and left. After Tori and I took a few more orders it was time for our break so we went to go eat lunch in the break room which only employees have access to. When we sat down we told each other about ourselves and just talked about why we came to work here. In addition to that we talked about how we could not tolerate those teenage boys! After our break was over we went back to work. Before any customers came in our boss came out and said “ You guys are doing great! Keep the good work up.” When our boss left a mom and her daughter came in. The little girl was wearing a pink dress with yellow flowers and flip flops. The little girl asked for strawberry ice cream with whipped cream and gummy bears. I said ok then gave the order to Tori. When she made it she handed it to me and I handed it to the girl. She smiled and then left with her mom. After they left our boss told us we could go home Tori and I packed up our stuff and left. Tori gave me a ride home because I don’t have car yet. When I got home I said thanks to Tori and walked inside. When I walked in I told my parents that I got a job and that I’m really happy with it!  They said that is it great that I got a job so their going to buy me a car! I cant wait!

"Can you believe what was on the news last night?!" I yell, over the screaming noises of the cafeteria.

"What was it?!" Katelynn yells back. 

"You didn't hear?!" I yell, stunned.

"They government is changing our currency!!" "That's it? So what is we use euros of yens, who cares!?" "No, not euros, yens, or whatever you said, he's making us use our memories!" "I don't understand!" "The government wants three girls and three boys from a random school district in a random state, with a random age, and he wants us to test the machines!" I was scared, what if it's me? "What the heck, out of the entire country, I'll give $50 if they choose us!" "$100?" "Sure, you're giving me $100 if they don't choose us. That is how much I believe it won't be us." She said as she shifted her books to the other side of her as we look for a seat to eat our lunch.

"It could be us, and we have an assembly today, after, um, lunch, and we're skipping free period!" "Aw, that ain't fair, it's our free time, we get to do whatever we want, I'm skipping it!" "It's a priority from the president!" We sat down and I bit into my egg salad sandwich. "Stupid laws!" She said and rolled her eyes. She flipped her pasta in her thermos and the sauce flew everywhere. "Stop!" She stops. 

"The chances of it being us is, one out of infinity!" She says as we sit in a seat for the assembly. Mrs. Povada rolls a laptop on top of a cart onto the middle of the stage. And the large screen flies down from the ceiling. She taps the space bar on the laptop and an old fashioned count down pops up on the big screen. Ten, nine, eight, seven, Katelynn groans, six, five, four, three, my heart beats, hard and loud, two, ONE! 

A guy in a black suit, wearing a thick, dark black glasses, pops up on the big screen, he looks like he's Will Smith in Men in Black, but his hair is a lot longer and wetter looking. "Hello children of The United States of America!" He sounded like a bad guy, "I have some exciting news," he didn't look excited, " I will choose three little girls, and three little boys from this little box!" He talked to us like we were babies and the box was not little it was huge, two of himself could stand up in it and still have a lot of room! "This box has the name of every single boy and girl in the country that are under the age of 18 and older than 8!" That could be me or Katelynn. "$200 if we are both chosen!" Katelynn whisper to me.

He jumps into the box and I hear a lot of shuffling and throwing of paper, and then his head flies up and out of the box and he is suddenly standing there again flicking off some extra pieces of paper and I read some names of those unneeded papers, James Harthrow, Karren Dunikins, Charles Finkin.  

He’s holding six pieces of paper and her counts them, “So, little girls and boys, I will name six little kids and they’re randomized by school district, state, town, city, age, grade, it’s all random,” He starts to read the names, “ Baron Kings, Cameron Caiden, Sami Kells, Jonathan Crains,” He pauses and reads a name slowly, “Katelynn Rose Edwards, and last but not least Amanda Catherine Moon,” He pauses again and everyone in the cafeteria’s head swivels around and they all stare at us. My jaw drops and I nearly pass out, I start to sweat and panic, “ You- the people I read the names of- will report to Washington D.C. by tomorrow at 3:30, and you will take a plane from the airport located in your state’s capital, see you tomorrow.” The big screen goes black, and I stop breathing and my heart beat slows, I faint…

I wake up in the Nurse’s Office and she’s holding an ice pack upon my head. I groan and I see Katelynn is standing next to the nurse, “Is she okay?” Katelynn asks. “She’s fi-” “I’m fine!” I groan. Holly is paler as anything. “It’s fine!” I say. I stand up and leave the office after I say thank you to the nurse, “No problem,” She replies. I stop Katelynn in the hallways and say, “We get to leave school to pack early?” “Yeah, we need to leave now!” We raced up the stairs, eager to get to leave the school. I sat in the classroom waiting to tell the teacher we were leaving now. I chewed on my nails, completely forgetting about the $200, Katelynn owed me.  Katelynn sat next to me and she pulled out her wallet and she ruffled through the dollar bills. "What was I doing with my wallet?" She asked herself. She shoved her wallet into her back pocket. 

The teacher commands us to leave. We pack our bags and leave. "Good-bye girls!" The teacher yells to us through the hallway, "We will put a plaque with your names on it to honor you, " she tears up, "You were outstanding students, great at science and, and everything, don't die out there! Don't die, for me and your friends!" She huddle the other students into the classroom.

After we wait for the bus to pick, only us, up, I say, "Die? We have other friends besides us? What does she mean?" "She's a teacher, remember? Teachers think every student there, are all friends!'' "Yeah! But die?" "Maybe she knows something we don't!" She stares ahead, "Maybe she doesn't know, we don't know, maybe we will!" I shove her and we both laugh.

The bus pulls in and the doors swing open. "Come on in ladies!" Says a kind looking bus driver. We hop in and the bus speeds off to my house. We sit in silence, the bus driver turns on music, and then shuts it, seeing we don't enjoy it. We get off, thank the bus driver and run into our houses.

Katelynn//: 2

We were chosen for something government official. 

Scary. It just scares me to have to do something that the whole country depends on me to do. I run up my stairs, and I slam my bedroom door shut behind me. “Honey? Are you home? Why so early?” I hear my mom say, she taps lightly on my door, I burst out into tears. My mom slides the door open and slowly walks in, “Do you want to tell me what going on?” I look up at her with puffy eyes as I choke out, “Did you watch the new last night?” She gasps in panic, “It wasn’t you was it?!” I nod, slowly but surely. I cry some more, she throws herself down on my bed and she hugs me hard and tight. “Just remember, I always loved you!” She whispers into my ear. 

We hug and cry for a little while. “Mom?” “Yes, Katelynn?” “Ms. Hankin said, ‘Don’t die, for me, for your friends,’ what does that mean?” Her face goes pale and she has a tight, sour, grim expression on. I want ask, ‘What is going on?,’ but she seems like she has too many things to tell me. “The.. the govern.. government, has.. declared that, tha… that at least, four of the six american children will… will… will…” She chokes on her words, and cries in between, “Will, d, d…” She causes a dramatic pause. “Die!!!” She lets the words sink in to my mind, they burn into my skull.

Brave, I thought, be brave.

“Not if I can help it!” I yell, a shaky, scared edge to my voice.

My mother slides her hand to my cheek, “Just don’t let be you! Or, or Amanda, or-” “Or anyone else!” I scream. I pull myself away, in anger and disgust. I run into my bathroom and lock the door and flick on the light, waiting for my mother to leave my room. She does, two minutes later. I open the bathroom door and lock my bedroom’s door. I slide down and sit, my back against the door.

       I sigh and stand. I run over to my closet, ‘what should I bring?’ I think. I grab my short white dress, I shove it into my black suitcase, I grab my iPhone, 1-(949)-439-7660, “Amanda?” “Yup!” She sounds happy. “Do you know what might happen to us?” I ask her, “Yeah!” She sounds happy, still. “Never mind, anyways, what are you wearing to opening night?” “Kakis!” I snort-laugh, “Really!?” “No!!” She laughs back. “I’m wearing my black dress, you have the same one, in white!” “That’s what I’m wearing too, not yours, my white one!” “Awesome! Kay, bye!” “Bye!” Dead air on the other end. She hung up. I grab two white tee shirts and two black ones. 

"Katty-Lynn?" Uh! Mom. "Kate? Fine, give me the silent treatment, we'll, I made some white chocolate cocoanut cookies for you! I'll leave them here in front of your door with some hot cocoa, oh and I bought you some other things too, just for you!" I hear her place a plate on the wood floor and I hear her heels clatter down the stairs. I swing open the door. The smell of the drink and the cookies fill my nose, I can't resist it. I grab everything she left for me and I lock the door again. I devour three cookies and leave the rest for after packing. I sip the cocoa slowly, rich and creamy. I smile and plop on my bed. The furry quilt surrounds me. I'm gonna miss it. My smile disappears. I keep packing.

Forget the pain.

Katelynn called, I pretended to be happy. I'm actually the saddest person on the planet. I might die. I hope no one does. I hope this is a lawful practical joke, 'cause if it is, they totally got me. I tries to take a nap, but Katelynn called. I think she fell for my happiness, blring, blring, blring! My phone is ringing, again! Blring! "Hello?" I answer. "Hi!" "Um, may I ask who this is?" "Yes." "Well who is it?" "Oh, sorry. My name Maldon Kip!" "And who are you exactly?" "I am the government's assigned comfronter. I am here to comfort you before your arrival to the Capitol." "Uhm? Sure, I guess that makes sense!" Weird. 

"Well, are you feeling comfortable about this, this whole experiment thing?" "No," I say right away. "Eh, well, what's there to be 'fraid of, a little tiny, thingy-ma-bob!" "It's not a thingy-ma-bob! At least four innocent American children citizens will be killed!! The country will be furious and they will not vote anymore, I'm leaving the country!!!!" I scream into the phone, I hang up right away.  I slam my phone down against the nightstand near my bed and I jump into my bed and throw my fleece blanket over me. I cry a little, who cares, I don’t. I sleep lightly for an hour or so. 

I wake up with a start, 6:38pm. I read on my clock. Oh, I sigh. What I don’t understand is when I turn on my phone I have thirty-nine missed calls all from Maldon Kip, I hate her right now. I call Katelynn, “Katelynn, sup! What’re you doin’!?” I ask, “Nothing, just thinking about tomorrow!” “Me too,” I hear her mother’s cookies being chewed in her mouth. “Eating the cookies, eh?!”  “Yeah!” “Share?” “Yeah, share!” I open my window and I hang up on my phone, we always chat from our windows, so fun! "Well, I don't know what to really talk about, you got any ideas?" She asks."Yeah, wanna go to the mall!?" "Sure! Cookie?" She extends her arm which is holding two of her mom's famous white chocolate and coconut cookies. I grab them and I roll my eyes, in a duh formation, I make a face which means, duh, of course I what your mom's awesome cookies! We eat the cookies in harmony, so good! We jump off our windowsills and grab our phone case wallets, and we meet on my front porch. We walk to the mall, it's right down the street.

We stop in front of a dress store in the mall, I see the most beautiful dress ever! It's a short, tight dress that in all the colors of the sunset, dark fh types of purples. So beautiful. "I need to get it!!" I yell. We walk into the store and we find my size. It fits and looks beautiful. I buy it, what a blow of my cash,$156! But it pays off, I'm gonna wear it to the opening night. 

Super Spy of the World

by Marina C.

January 23, 2014

"Congratulations secret agent 14! You accomplished your mission. Here is your medal." Thank you, thank you. I couldn't have done it, hold on let me tell you how it all started. "Secret agent 14, we need you to stop Dr. Evil. He has built some sort of machine to make all the schools disappear! But stay on your guard because he has numerous body guards! We want you to pursue Dr. Evil. Get on your way agent 14." I knew what I had to do. I got my hover surfboard. It's purple with jet powered engines on the bottom our agencies symbol is in the middle, and comes with a GPS. I typed in Dr.Evils address into my GPS it said it was 2 miles away from here. Wait! I grabbed my backpack with all my tools. It has super sticky gloves, a grapling hook, a tazer and much more. When I started hovering I looked up at the sky at was black with thunder clouds. A thunder storm could happen any second. I hovered as fast as I could to Dr.Evils office before the storm. Memorial Rd, Basketball St, and Evil St here we go. I put my hover board in my backpack and right when I got inside it started pouring rain with thunder and lightning. I walked up the stairs to his office. When I saw his door I busted it down. There was pictures of Dr.Evil and the whole place was purple and green. I saw a shawdowy figure in the corner of my eye. I threw my backpack on the floor and grabbed my tazer. Dr.Evil was about to go down. "Well, well, well hello agent 14 how are you doing?" "Fine." I mumbled. "Well before we go down and fight. Fight my body guards." They were robots and I had a plan. Taze, Taze, Taze bam what! "You make me sick!" If I were going to do this lets do it now!" Dr.Evil put his fists up. Guess what I did? I put my tazer up! We went at each other miss, miss, miss, hit! I tazed him and he went down. I handcuffed him so he wouldn't escape. He yearned for me to let him go but I said no. When I brought him back to headquarters my boss said "Great job agent 14, you accomplished you mission thank you for your superior work, here is your medal." Thank you for my medal I couldn't have done it without and if your worried about Dr.Evil escaping from jail,... Again I will reassure you he is in jail with police guarding him. Thank you again for your support.

The Break Dancing Babies

The Trip For The Break Dancing Babies!

“Lets go Jose”. I said as I hopped on to Jose, a creature that has the body of a moose, the stripes of the zebra, the antlers of a deer, the trunk of an elephant, the horn of a narwhal, the tail of a pig and the wings of a hummingbird. I patted on Joses’ back. “Lets soar through the blue skies all the way to Hawaii!” I exclaimed, “We can start our own restaurant and call it Break Dancing Babies!” Jose nodded and ascended into the skies of Massachusetts. It has just snowed a few days ago so every lawn was covered with snow, the streets were layered with a thin sheet of ice and every family with a dog had some yellow snow on their lawns... EW. Jose started to be absurd and was laughing at a spectator. He had a long white beard and he was plump and jolly like Santa... ITS SANTA!!. Oh wait, never mind, thats my mailman. Jose started to slow down and he landed right at my house. “Jose, what are you doing?” I asked, “We have to accomplish our goal.” Jose was to tired and I had no other way of transportation, so we went inside and had hot cocoa..and burnt our tongues.

THE END!

Celebration with the Minions!

Here in Gru’s lab, the minions will be having a birthday party for Gru. Chef Kevin has a special dessert prepared for all the guests.  Gru walks in and shouts, “Hello everybody! Settle down, settle down,” he says, “Let the party begin! The first party game is “Pin the Tail on the Fluffy Unicorn”.  The first blindfolded minion slowly walks up to the Fluffy Unicorn.  He places the tail on…the unicorn’s leg!  All the minions fell into a fit of laughter.  Even the blindfolded minion laughed!  No minions succeeded in this task.  They were probably thinking Let’s try something else.

Now it’s time for the birthday banquet as Gru yells, “Minions assemble!”  A huge beautiful table is in the middle of the room, piled high with edibles.  A roast beef is sitting in the middle, ready to be gobbled up.  There’s a whole harvest of vegetables (not for me).  Everyone eats as much as they can.  Then, Chef Kevin arrives with his best banana meringue.( For those of you who don’t know what a meringue is, look in the dictionary.)  Chef Kevin looks like he wants attention.  He’s pulling something out of a briefcase.  A flamethrower!  You’re supposed to use a torch!  Uh­ oh.  The power dial is set  to HIGH!

I’m not going to tell you what happened, but  I will tell  you that some minions had flaming backsides, and the meringue was well done.  Very, very well done.  After the flamethrower incident, it seemed frivolous that none of the minions had gifted Gru with fire insurance for his birthday.

Ariel the True Story

Ariel The True Story

So this story is about a young mermaid named Ariel. But this is not exactly her story, its mine. If you hadn't already figured it out, my name is Ursula. I am the beauty of the sea, the pearl of the ocean and my job is to help the poor, souls of this unfortunate sea. Some people think I'm only in it to get a reward. I mean sure it's nice to get something in return, but my real prize is King Trident. "Do you hear that my sweethearts?" I asked my sweet little electric eels as I pulled the seaweed cloth off the magic ball. Just as I thought, there was Ariel getting scolded by her father again for skipping the concert. Again. Perfect! I thought. Just what I need to add the king to my collection! Oh look here she comes now! "Oh hello there child! What brings you to my castle of greatness."(castle of greatness might be a little much but whatever ) "well I need your help."she said sounding a little unsure, but she still said it! "What do you need child" I said smirking a little too much. "Well I met a prince. A human prince. I kind of fell in love and I want human legs. Can you help me?" "Oh really? Well I can help but I need something in return." "What do you want?" She asked. "Well I would like to make a deal. If he kisses you before sundown on the third day you can keep your legs, marry him and live happily ever after, but if he doesn't, you belong to me. One more thing, I get your voice." So maybe taking her voice was a little much, but it is so pretty I couldn't resist! "Ok fine." She said jerking me out of my thoughts. "Really? I mean, good choice. Now sing child SING!" "Ladada, ladadada," "keep going!" I shouted "Ladada, ladededa" "Good. Now for the legs. This won't hurt at all." Just then an electric blast filled the room! I didn't mean for it to be that bright but it worked! As she floated to the cave floor I could see two long legs stretch from her body. "Thank you!" She mouthed as a crab and a fish carried her off. Had they been there the whole time? "I wonder where she is going now?" I asked, swimming over to the magic ball. "Ahhh. So she goes straight to her little prince? Interesting. "STOP HER! I shouted a little too loud." Then off swam my precious little angel eels. I watched as they silently followed the girl to the shore and met up with a crazy bird who pretended to not notice her new feet. The crabs eyes lit up as a prince walked over to the mute girl in rags and brought her to the palace to get dry. Suddenly I got an idea! I would transform myself into a beautiful women and use Ariel's beautiful voice to make the prince love me. Then Ariel will be mine and I can use her to get to the king. Perfect! Now, ZAP! I am human and I look almost as good as I did before. I swam to the serface and snuck into the castle. There was a ball and a few people wanted to dance so I zapped them. I really hate to dance. I headed to a dressing room and dressed in the best dress I could find. I went to the prince's room, stood outside the door, and started to sing. Yes! He took the bait! He followed close behind me until he caught to me. "Your voice is amazing!" He said, wide- eyed in nonbelief. "Thank you!" I said. feeling a little giddy at the whole thing. "I know we just met, but will you marry me?" He asked. I couldn't believe it! He wanted to marry me already! "Yes! Deffinetly yes!"  I exclaimed excitedly! "How does next week sound?" He asked. "Let's do it tomorrow instead." I encouraged. "Fine with me." He said, and walked away. Good. Now I just need to be patient and wait. Well, I'm exhausted so I'm going to bed! The next day I woke with FOURTEEN maids standing in my bedroom to get me ready. It's a nice thought but FOURTEEN! Really? "Um your highness?" Said one maid shyly. "It's time to go." The rest was a mixture of getting lost then finding our way and yelling when we got lost again. Finally we got to the wedding just in time. The priest was announcing me. And, ARIEL? Why was she here? It doesn't matter, the sun is setting and her legs are now a tail! Finally I can become my normal self. The transformation might have involved more screaming than necessary but the prince knows the truth now! "Bow down to me! The all mighty queen!" Then I was thrown off the boat and into the water. Some other embarrassing things happened that I would rather not go into much detail about, and the king ended up killing me. I just wanted someone to know the truth. Thank you!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves: The True Story

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

THE TRUE STORY

By: Jensine W.

Once upon a time, a princess was born. She has jet black hair and pale white skin. Her name was Snow White. The only problem is, this story isn't about her. Oh, no, this story is about ME! You might wonder who I am, but I am very famous! In a good or bad way, you ask. Well you will find out for yourself! I am pale skinned, have emerald green eyes, have long, raven black hair, and red lips. I am Queen Grimhilde, the Evil Queen. When I was born, people who would see me would say “ Oh, you are the prettiest person I have ever seen!” Sometimes people would add “And that’s saying a lot!” I would walk  around the little town and play with the other kids. We would play games like “Hide And Seek”, and other games like “Tag”. It was so fun! After my long days, I would run home to my Mother. Oh, how I miss my Mother! She would hug me and help me. I had a father, too, but he died when I was born.  I don’t really know him that much, though. I remember my Mother really well. She had brown hair, but had green eyes, like me! She used to greet me when I come home and wake me up in the morning. She’d wear these flower dresses and a sun hat, and would always be in the garden. The garden is also where she died. She was planting tomato seeds, when this mosquito came and bit her. He was apart of a flue getting around, that killed people almost instantly if got bitten by one. That is why I couldn't go outside all day. The reason she went outside is because she wanted to plant tomatoes. I told her she can wait next month to plant it, but she said “I have been waiting all year for good planting season, and I’m not waiting any longer! I’ll be careful!” When she got outside, I saw her drop, and just by looking at her, I knew she was dead. I started crying and yelling until someone came. I was eleven years old when that happened. I had changed, and had never turned back.  My heart   had grown cold that night, I could never think that is could thaw, not ever. I was fifteen when just that thing had happened. I was walking up the street to the marketplace, when I bumped into someone quite unusual and out of place. I turned around to look at this strangers face to say sorry, but then it hit me. This person was the prince of this little village. He lived in the castle on the other side of the small village. I said “sorry” and tried to block the way, when the next thing you know, we are at his castle! The front of the castle was the light blue with a hinge of light purple. The castle had lots of little towers coming out of it and a drawbridge. It looked so amazing and beautiful! Inside, there was all these different kinds of rooms in these huge hallways. I don’t even know how everyone know’s where everything is! Then, a year after, I married the prince. He thawed my heart. I was twenty years old when we married. But then, a tragic thing happened, he died. Someone pushed him off the porch! The day before he died, he gave me a present. It was a mirror. When I looked into the mirror, I saw a man’s reflection. The prince told me to ask a question to the mirror. So I thought, and thought, until an idea came to me. It was a question that I always wanted to know. So I asked the mirror “ Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?” The mirror replied “You are, my dear.” Now, I was on the loose. I ran away from the castle, in a carriage, and looking for more castles. Before I left, I brought a love potion and my big mirror with me. When I got to another castle, which was fifty-five miles away from the other castle, I drank the potion, leaving a little left for emergencies, and went to knock on the door. I made sure no one made eye contact with me, before I see the king, because if one person made eye contact with me, then the potion will be wasted on the person who did it, and the person would be in love with me. I entered the throne room, when up to the king, and looked him in the eye. Well, you know what happened. Sadly, he had already had a daughter. Her name was Snow White. When I first laid eyes on her, I knew that  she was pretty. Even prettier than me! I didn’t like her one bit. I got over it, and the King and I got married. I knew that this is the castle that I wanted to stay in. I put a quick acting poison in the Kings drink and waited. He started choking and died on the spot. I acted sad and pretended to cry, but secretly, I had a smile on my face. That took care of the king, but all I had left was Snow White. Since she was ten at the time, I made her a servant. I had her clean and carry dishes, and wash all the clothes. When I got to my room, I went to my mirror, and asked “Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?” and the mirror replied “Snow White is, my dear.” I got so upset, I felt like going right up to Snow White and killing her on the spot. No, I had to wait until the time was right, when the people in this village wouldn't be suspicious about her death(If I killed her right now). I had Snow White sweeping and cleaning the floor, not allowed to go to any of the parties I host in fear that she would be noticed. Everyone seemed to like her. It just wasn't fair! I am supposed to be the fairest one of all, not her. Occasionally, I would ask the same question to the magic mirror, and he always gives me the same answer, “Snow White is, my dear.” One day had came, and I was completely broke! I thought, “If I want money, have to marry into a royal family, and have the prince live in the castle.”  So I planned a ball, where I invited all the royals, in hope to find a rich prince that I can put under the love spell with my potion. I just have to make sure that Snow White doesn't break into the party. So, I locked the bedroom door. I found out that she escaped and went outside! Why can’t she just stay inside her room? When I looked out my window, I saw her with the rich prince. I got so upset that I canceled that party! At night, I went into Snow White’s room. I told her to follow the huntsman when he comes into her room. Then, I called the huntsman into my room and told him “You go to Snow White, take her deep into the forest, and kill her!” So they went, while I was waiting patiently for the huntsman to return. When the huntsman did return, he said “It is done, she is killed”, but I didn't believe him, so I checked with my mirror. I said “Mirror, Mirror hanging still, is it true, is Snow White killed?” He replied “ No, my dear.” I was so upset, that I made the huntsman go away forever! I thought “I guess I have to do this task all by myself!”  So, I drank a potion that turned me into a witch. I transformed, but didn’t know how to turn back! “Oh well, I will figure that out later” I thought as I walked up to an apple tree. I picked one up, but as soon as made contact with it, it turned black. I said some words and it turned back to normal. The only thing that is different, is that it is a poison apple. I  asked my mirror where Snow White is, and it said “She is in the forest, where the dwarves  live ,my dear.” I went to the forest while the dwarves work, went up to Snow White, and said  “Here is an apple for the fairest one of all. You can have it.” She took a bite of it, and she collapsed! I waited in the distance, and to my horror, watched the prince save Snow White! I was so upset that I ran deeper into the forest. Only, the prince was faster. He flung his dagger into my chest. Now here I lye, on the floor of  a cave slowly bleeding to death, while I write my story. I hope someone reads this to understand my pain. To see what I had to go through. Why people think me as the Evil Queen is because the way Snow White tells the story. If you are reading this right now know that I am sorry for the things I did. I have reasons for my actions. If you are reading this, make sure it spreads from place to place so people understand me and why I am so cruel. Please do that one as I bleed to death. That is my story, the true story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. The true story of me.

Super Spy!

by Jenna N

I woke up to the sound of  spies climbing up my stairs. It was two-thirty in the morning, so everything was still pitch black. I had dust in my eyes, and my throat was scratchy. The superior spies entered my bedroom like no one was sleeping. There were at least a dozen of them. They all had suit and ties on, and were carrying cases  with all sorts of gadgets. The head of the group, Agent Rasbottom, sat on the bed beside me. "Alright what's the mission this time?" I asked impatiently. "Well," Rasbottom started. "Our enemy Hienze Dofenshmerts, is keeping all sorts of animals and numerous amounts of people as hostages. Your mission is to evade Dofenshmerts, while trying to liberate his hostages. We believe he is harboring them in the abandoned house on Main Street. You are to leave for your mission at dawn . No later, no earlier. Now, we all know these hostages are probably yearning to be liberated. Don't let me down. Otherwise, you'll lose your spot in the SSA."(Secret Spy Agency). And with that, they all left. Well that was very reassuring. I started to get dressed in my cool spy uniform. It was black sweat pants, thin black socks, black Nikes, a black SSA t-shirt, a black long jacket, PACKED with cool gadgets, sun glasses, and a black hat. I was reluctant at first to wake up so early to get ready, but then I was wide awake about five minutes later. I grabbed a muffin, and left for my mission in my cool spy car. Strangely, the streets were busy. All heading in the same direction. South. Away from CedarVille, like they wanted to get out of town as soon as possible. When I got on Main Street, I decided it would be safest to leave my car hidden so Dofenshmerts wouldn't see it, and know that I'm coming. I parked it  near the  bakery at the end of the street. Don't tell my boss that while he was in my room, I took twenty bucks from him, and now I'm spending it. I left the store with a coffee cup in my hand. As I was walking down the street, I gave myself this "prep talk" I always give myself before a mission. "Alright Jenna. This is your moment. Don't blow it!" Okay, I'm ready now. It’s humid out, and clouds are gathering. The abandoned house looks empty and evil. But the I see the most evil thing of all. I see Dofenshmerts sleeping on a bed on the bottom floor. This will be easier than I thought! I tip-toed into the house, trying not to make the boards squeak. When I think I'm safe, Dofenshmerts wakes up. "Well, well, well." He says." What do we have here? An SSA spy trying to save these useless animals and people?" I reached into my coat, and grabbed my freeze ray. When Dofenshmerts makes the mistake of turning around, I freeze him! But what I relished too late was that I missed his arm and hand. He reaches into his pocket, grabs something out, and zapped himself. He unfreezed! Impossible!! I grab out my "slow-o-ray" and zap him. All of a sudden, he went five times slower than I The tied up hostages try to applaud with tied up hands. I go one by one, untying them. Then they all properly thank me, by throwing me a doughnut party! "Thif if awfome!" I say, chewing a doughnut. Being a spy is awesome. You get it all!! Cool cars, gadgets, and doughnut parties! If you are as good of a spy as me.

Sleeping Beauty: The True Story

      Once upon a time, a beautiful baby girl was born. Now, this is not the girl you are thinking of. This was someone whose name would make people shiver for generations. Her name was Evna.  Everyone in the village of Snarlsdag loved her. When she got older, she got emerald green eyes and and hair as black as night. All the boys were always following her around wherever she went. One day, Evna was wandering in the village, when a ugly woman with a stump for a leg, bumped into her. "Watch what you're doing, you old hag", the lady said."I'm an old hag?!", Evna replied,"right". "Follow me", the old lady said. Evna was only eight when the old lady beckoned for her, so she was not the smartest child. "Okey", Evna said, and she followed the witch into the woods (Shoot, I gave it away).

     As she followed the witch into the woods, she looked at the lady. She looks like she's eighty four, Evna thought. As she walked into the Breath Killing Bog, she felt a slight tremor in the air. "I curse your entire no good, dirty rotten family forever", the witch said. "May you train in the dark arts and die a villain". Then she mumbled a few words, and a pair of horns appeared on her head." No!!" Evna yelled. Then the witch disappeared..

     When Evna returned to her house, her parents screamed."What happened to you?!"  they yelled. She told her parents what happened. "I'm going to give that hag a good beatin'", her father said. "You know dear, you could always go to Marvelous Maggie, the witch who nurses weary travelers back to health." Being an obedient child, Evna obeyed her mother and started her journey to find Marvelous Maggie.

     As Evna walked through the Cursed Forest, the home of Marvelous Maggie, she saw an owl. "Hello, owl," Evna said. "Beware, beware!" the owl cried. Then it flew away. Evna was so scared by now that she ran straight through the forest until she came to a small, wooden cottage. When she knocked on the door, no one answered. “That’’s strange”, Evna said. Then, the door opened. A small, old women appeared in the doorway, literally. “What do you want?” the lady said, “I specialize in potion making, sorcery, and resurrections”. “ Can you get these horns off my head?” Evna said. “No”, Maggie said, and she shut the door in Evna’s face. Maggie opened the door. “Okey, i’ll help you”...

As Maggie hovered over her cauldron, she chanted a few phrases that Evna could not hear. Maggie pulled out a beaker and scooped up some oozy, purple liquid. She poured the liquid over Evna’s horns. They disappeared in an instant. “Thank you!” Evna said. “You’re welcome,” Maggie said, “but there are side effects, which include growing the horns back and potentially becoming the most powerful villain in the world”. “You could have told me that before you poured the potion on me!” Evna said, “Is there a way to not become a dastardly villain?”. “Yes, there is a way, although it might ruin your life forever”, Maggie said. “Tell me,” Evna said. Maggie said, " You have to be pure of heart, and show compassion and understanding to everyone". "Thank you, Maggie," Evna said. When she walked out of the cottage, she thought, the whole world may come to an end if I am not kind.

Surfing!

The cool water shocks my toes as I step in. I carry a long surfboard, and the tiny waves lap against my ankles. I trot deeper and hop onto my board, and the sun beams down on my wetsuit. I spread out my arms like a bird and start motoring toward where the waves start. I spot a whitecap behind me, and I let it break under my board. One of them starts forming in the distance, and I feel a prickle on the back of my neck. I know this wave is the one.

I twist around and start vigorously paddling, and I sense the wave getting bigger. I paddle a few more times and the wave catches me. I pop up onto my feet. The water sprays my face and I bend down and feel the crisp water race before my fingers. A barrel starts chasing me, and I willingly give in and let myself shoot the tube. Salty whitewater plunges down and gets tangled in my wet hair. I can see the fluffy foam inching closer to me, a signal that my ride is almost over. Reluctantly, I dive through the giant mass of water and back into the aqua colored liquid. The sun is setting and the sky is painted in bright pink, orange and purple hues. The board drags behind me, and I hop back on, excited to catch lots more combers.
