Superheroes

Taz, Bear, Coco and Daniel were a team of animal super heroes. Taz and Bear are dogs, Coco is a cat and Daniel is a dragon. They can all talk and fight, but they were all lured into a trap and are getting sold to a faraway country. At the village they are being held hostage in there is a cat called Toto that can talk too but the people don't know. The team has just had their plans thwarted again.

The team (Toto was officially a member now) really had no escape now, guards patrolled the outside and it would be mad to suggest they hadn't blocked up the tunnel for good. Over the days, everyone tried to think of escape plans but none of them would work. "Hey," Taz said, "why don't we blast through the roof with our jet packs?"
"Uh," Coco replied, "Uh, maybe no! There are guards patrolling everywhere including the roof. We don't have enough jet packs to take everyone and WE DON'T HAVE ANY FUEL LEFT"
No one was surprised by this because after months of being stuck in a cage, with not enough food and the thought you are going to get shipped away and knowing without you the whole world was in chaos (they knew that because sometimes people came up to tease them showing them newspapers asking, "Will the super heroes save us?"
"Heh, heh, heh" the people would say, "not so much some super heroes now, eh? He, heh." That seemed to make everyone a bit cranky.

A few weeks later it was time for the team to go on the ship with no one to save them. That night the air was slightly humid and it was unusually peaceful, outside there was a warm breeze going through the air. Nights like these would be peaceful if it wasn't such a bad situation, the sun had sunk and it was dark, none of the team were asleep because they all felt very sick and nervous.

Later they heard a rustling sound, all the team suddenly became alert, but not the guards, they were too busy playing cards with each other. Suddenly they heard someone yell hiiiiyaa!! and the sound of heavy bodies thudding to the ground filled their ears. Just then the door started to open...

How Your Imagination Can Scare You

I glanced out of my window at the beautiful fall weather. I longed to be free of my room and to scare kids tonight. The only reason I wasn't doing that was because I had poured pudding all over Billy Commings jeans at recess last week. My mom had made sure I was grounded on the most beautiful day of autumn. I was watching my favourite scary movie. Just as a scream came from a TV my mom yelled, "Sarah, go down into the basement and go through some of the boxes so we can start getting rid of stuff." I rolled my eyes. My mom was a neat freak and hated the basement.

I went down the creaking wooden staircase down into the basement. I began sorting boxes. Inside one of the boxes I found a book with a leather cover. I was sure I had never seen it before. I opened it and began to read. It was a story about a monster who lived in the basements of kids' homes and when they would go down he ate them. I looked up from the book with a startled expression. I had heard something move behind one of the boxes. I was freaked because in all the movies it was usually the cat and we didn't have a cat. I was looking at the box when it started to move. I ran up the stairs. When I got to the door it was locked. Who puts a lock on a basement door!? I was so scared. The sounds had stopped, so I decided to go back down to find out what was making the noise. I looked behind the box where the noise had come from and behind it was what looked like a bucket of blood! Again I was freaked. I screamed so loud I probably made the earthquake charts. This was always the part of the movie where the monster comes in. I looked around franticly. Just then a shadow appeared on the stairs. I backed into the corner trying to think of what my last words were going to be. "Sarah, honey what is wrong?" I sighed in relief. It was only my mother!!
"I just saw a big spider that's all." I answered embarrassed. My mom shrugged and went back up the stairs. I started to follow but stopped and looked around. The place where the blood had been was clean! I ran back up the stairs. I guess I'll never know what that stuff was or how it got there, but all I know is that I was never going down there on Halloween again. My imagination was too scary!

Once upon a time there lived two children named Tyra and Marc. One day they saw a little rabbit. The rabbit had six arms and five legs. Instead of hopping it wobbled everywhere it went. They picked it up and fed it some pop tarts. Every time they fed it pop-tarts it grew bigger and bigger. One day it grew as big as a horse. It was so big they had to let it go and one day later everyone in the town was dead. All that was left were two pieces of pop tarts and a monster as big as a dinosaur.

One day Amy was walking home from school when she heard a twinkling sound. She turned around and to her surprise she saw a fairy. The fairy said, "Come with me." So she went with her and saw Fairy Land.

"Oh, my! How cute!" I cried. Waldy had drawn a turkey running down a street.
"Thanks!" he said.
Jon suddenly yelled. "Whoo hoo! This is a great drawing!" All the kids crowded around him. He was looking at Max's drawing of Flash.
"Hey, that looks great!"
"Yeah! It's the bomb!"
"Nice work, Max!"
Max beamed.
The bell rang, once, twice, three times. It meant: Go home, kids! The 2nd grade kids had concerts and the school declared holiday. We kept our stuff and ran out. It was raining hard. The other kids had buses and drivers. Some older kids hailed taxis. The rest of us had to cycle and run through the rain. The rain clouded my eyes. I ran blindly into the open space. Crash!! The last thing I heard was that. Then, I died.

Now I won't be narrating the story anymore. It will be in a different mode. Sorry guys.

Max cycled hard. He pulled his goggle glasses on whenever it rained. It was much clearer then. Smack! Max fell off his bike. He was near an alleyway. A big boy picked him up with the collar. Max was half-awake, half-dead. It was a hard blow. The boy's name was Kraen Rone. He was leader of a gang of people who injure and steal. Injure, mind you, not kill. His gang called him Rone. By his last name. Kraen took another swerve at Max. Whack! Max's head bled. His forearms were cut. "Where is it Leon?!" he yelled. Max's last name was Leon. Max reached his limp mitten wearing hand into his pocket and clasped a strong metallic tube.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl called Ianthe that fancied this cute guy called Julian. One day they met up at the park and shared ice cream. Then Julian decided that it was time to ask Ianthe out. Of course she said yes and they grew up, moved to the country and started a family.

Denise's feet crunched on the blanket of leaves as she trudged down the sidewalk. The sky was streaked with fog and clouds, and she had trouble seeing the busy street in the distance. Above her head, trees were silhouetted against the morning sky. There was only a very small amount of leaves on their branches at this time, and they dangled freely, blowing in the wind like flags.

It was Monday, the worst day of the week. The day you just want to get over with so it can be Tuesday. Denise muttered, knowing no one was around to hear. She stared intensely at her shoes, her messy black hair suspended around her face. It didn't take long for her school to come in sight.

One day Nimash was walking down the street singing Umbrella by Rihanna. He sang and sang and sang until his stomach bloated. He fell to the floor and was found by a dog that saved his life.

Once upon a time there was a very odd donkey named Molasses. His owner was called Tyrome. Tyrome's dad was called Harold. They were all moose, except for Molasses, of course. Molasses was very evil. He had red eyes and a black tail. He had white hooves which he kept shiny clean. His teeth were as sharp as toothpicks, and his nose could do the same job as a vacuum cleaner. He loved to do the Hokey-Pokey, but not the happy version, because he was of course evil.

One day he kidnapped Harold, Tyrome's father. He wanted money for Harold, so, Molasses wanted to hold him for ransom and get money from Tyrome. He did just this and Tyrome called the police. They arrested Molasses, and when he explained his reason for kidnapping Harold which was to go to the Donkey Jamboree Concert, Tyrome sobbed, "I would have just given you the money to go if you had only asked."
Molasses was very sad about this, but he promised to be good. The judge in court sentenced him to doing 70 hours of community service. If you ever see a donkey volunteering at events and stuff like that, you will know it's Molasses.

The guy took the knife and tried to stab Dana with it but she was too fast, she slipped out from under him and was running faster then she ever did before, she felt like she was flying. As soon as she stopped she looked down the trail and sighed, she would never find her mother, but when she turned her head there it was! The house were she was born, the huge mansions on each side of the trail reminded her that the guy could be near by so she better get moving. She walked up the steps of the door and remembered when she had fallen down them. Now was her chance, she knocked on the door and a lady who looked to be in her thirties answered the door, "May I help you?" The lady asked.
"No ma'am, but um...does miss Diana Wildresin live here?"
"That's me," the lady replied, and then Dana broke down sobbing, she told the lady about her being her mama.
The lady said, "I had a little girl who I named Dana. I couldn't take care of her because the police were after me for some reason! So I abandoned her and when I went back to get her she was gone..." The lady had a sad expression and then Dana knew it was her.
"Oh, mama!" she cried rushing to hug her mother. Her mother rocked her back and forth and sang a little song, and then they both went inside to have lunch.

*Star Wars: Anikon's Dream Come True*

Once upon a time there was a young boy called Anikon. He always wanted to meet his heroes Obi-wan and Mace Windo. He lived on planet Tatuween with his mother. Anikon was a smart boy and loved to build complex, mechanical objects.

Obi-Wan had nearly run out of fuel. He and R2D2 landed on planet Tatuween. They walked up to a house and knocked on the door. A nice lady came out followed by a boy. The boy was Anikon. Anikon gasped. He greeted his heroes and welcomed them inside.

The Jedi, Obi-Wan, and the droid, R2D2, talked for a while. Then Obi-Wan said,"Anikon, would you like to become a Jedi like me?" This is what Anikon always dreamed of.
"Yes please!" answered Anikon.

After saying goodbye to his mother and getting some fuel for Obi's ship, Obi-Wan, Anikon and R2D2 set off to see the council.

Poor Hobo Joe was an outcast to the rest of the residents of Ponyville. Like Rudolph, he was never invited to play any games or eat sugarberries under the candy laden tree with the rest of the fellow youngsters. An ordinary conversation, in fact, between him and any other child pony would go like this:

Joe: Hey Glitter Bomb, wanna come over with me to Sparkle River this afternoon and play Tic-Tac-Toe?
Glitter Bomb: Uh, no, sorry, I have a dentist appointment at, uh, what time were you inviting me?
Joe: After supper.
Glitter Bomb: Oh, well, whaddya know! It's scheduled right after I have supper! Oh! What a shame!
Joe: Oh, that's all right. Actually, I heard the Sparkle River is even more sparkly at night, so if you want to go after your appointment...
Glitter Bomb: To be honest, I have to wax my grandma's back right after the dentist. You know how hairy it gets when you pass 50 years of age.
Joe: Oh, okay, maybe tomorrow...
Glitter Bomb: My uncle died. I have to go to his funeral tomorrow.
Joe: You said that last month, and the month before that! How many uncles do you have!?
Glitter Bomb: Um... is that my mom calling me? I have to go now! Sorry!

Lying seems to get easier and easier every time you talk to Joe. Hobo Joe finally got sick of being mistreated just because of the fact that he wasn't as beautiful or witty like the ponies or that he didn't smell like roses.

One night, after being lied to by Moon Pie about having to take his little brother along with his kindergarten class to Monster Truck Rally Madness at 3:00 AM in the morning (Who does anything at 3 AM in the morning?) He decided to run away. Packing his items and kissing his parents goodbye, he set off into the blackened night for a new home.

Dream One

She turned the corner, she was now on Oak Avenue, she needed one more block to get to Main Mansion Lane. She ran a few more steps then stopped, there was someone or something following her. She took a step then she heard an echo of her own step. She took off running and then once she stepped into the grass she was falling down into a pit of lava. SHE WAS GONNA DIE! She had to grab on to something to stop her fall. Then out of nowhere a dinosaur fell right past her into the pit and was burned into small ashes that floated back up. Then she realized she was frozen in the air unable to move a muscle. A few more dinosaurs fell past her and did the same thing as the other dinosaur. Dinosaurs are dead she thought, how are they alive and running around? After a few moments she felt herself being lifted into the air and then being dropped into the soft grass. What was happening? She then saw the strangest animal, it had cat ears, an elephant face, a dog's body and a little rabbit tail. There was a whole pack of them! She just decided to call them Doelekat-(Do-eleh-kat). A few of the doelekats were starting to surround her, she was trapped. They got closer and closer until they were standing right in her face. Then, they tore her to shreds while she was still alive, screaming. They were done, she was dead, that imaginary world was her death bed.

-She sat up in bed and looked out the window, no more dinosaurs and no more doelekats, she was safe, not dead, She was alive...it was a dream!

Dream Two

As she ran through the woods barefoot she felt that someone or something was following her. She picked up speed and began to fly. She could fly! She went higher and higher into the air until she could see the whole town. She went higher and then she could see the state, then she went higher and then she couldn't see anything beyond the thick mass of clouds that covered her way. She went higher and then she wished she had never started flying. She kept going up higher toward the sun, when she was actually trying to go down. There's no way out of this she thought as she neared the sun. She could feel sweat running down her face and she looked down toward earth one last time before she was burned to pieces by the hot flames of the sun. She was running away from danger, but she was approaching death...

Dream Three

She would never forget how fast she was. She gained speed as she neared the finish line leaving all the other racers behind. She kept gaining speed until she didn't know how to stop herself, she flew off the track and into the stands, she ran into the hot dog guy and crashed into him, hot dogs went flying everywhere. "YOU!" He said pointing at her, but she was too fast and she sped away. She kept on running until she reached the bridge, she suddenly stopped and she couldn't move at all. Then after a while she could move, so she made her way back to the stands. A few people glared at her for speeding away and ruining the race. She looked at the track and saw a few people lying down on the ground with ice packs to their heads and there was an ambulance there.
"May I speak to you for a moment, Malarie?" asked the coach.
"Yes coach?"
"I think I might have to disqualify you from the races and you can't be in track running anymore," he said so sadly.
She thought she might cry, "But coach, what did I do?."
He gestured toward the tracks and said, "You broke Anna's thigh by pushing her over, you sprained Malissa's ankle and you knocked down a few other people and they landed on their head!" The soft hearted coach now look just about ready to kill her.
"I'm... I'm... I'm sorry but I didn't do it!" All of a sudden I started running like crazy, and... and I couldn't stop myself!"
The coach glared at her and then said in a very frightening tone, "I won't be seeing you anymore at track running, some people just have an urge to lie," and with that he turned his back on her and walked away. Malarie stood there like a statue for a while then went home. For the next few days she would get up in the morning and go for a run. She didn't care anymore that her coach didn't believe her, she was the way she was. And she could still go super fast whenever she wanted .

Dream Four

She felt safe from the giant, here on the beach the waves tickled her toes, the giant would just stomp on her toes. The waves lapped against the shore and she felt something she never felt before. She was in love with the sea. She stood up and brushed the sand off the back of her pants. She decided that she wanted to swim with the fish, her life was just about over anyway, so she should enjoy herself before she died, right? She took a few steps back and then lurched forward into the sea. The water felt nice and smooth against her skin. But she forgot to take a breath. she started sinking to the bottom. A few fish came and went past her slowly. As she touched the bottom she got tangled in a heap of seaweed, she let the last bit of breath bubble out of her. And she was dead, gone without a trace...

They were all dreams... "Why can't I go to sleep without having nightmare?s!" Malarie moaned, and then tried to go back to sleep.

Malarie

From last time...

McKayla was going though her Howl-O-Ween plans.

On Friday Morning...

"Okay everybody listen up these are the people who are going to my party," said McKayla. "Krista, Aubin, Megan, Mirranda, Seira, Acland, and Danellie. See you at the party Saturday!"

Saturday Night

"Okay everyone is here except for Krista. Has anybody seen Krista?"
"NO!"
"Let's start then." We will be playing flashlight tag in my basement," said McKayla. "Here are the teams. McKayla and Aubin, Megan and Mirranda, Seira and Danellie, Acland. We now have our teams. We will go hide first."

Moments Later

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"What Happened?"
"Dude, I saw a face in that basement, man no joking!"
"What did it look like?"
"Freaky!" said Danellie.
"OH man!" McKayla whispered.
"What's that mean?" Asked Aubin

Seconds Later

The door swung open showing a dark figure in the lightning of the storm.
