Untitled - July 2011

Chapter One; the elephant "Mom, mom!" I try to push her away as she scrubs the dirt and blood off of my hands and arms. It isn’t my blood, though. I had just gone hunting and it was the zebra’s blood. “Lisha! Hold still! You might have cuts on your arms, and I don’t want them to get infected!” I sigh and let her finish. Then, I would go out and keep hunting. The villagers don’t approve of me going hunting, because I’m a girl. So, when I was born, the Namer named me Lisha, which means mystery. He named me that because my skin is light and pale, like my families, but lighter. Everyone else in my village had dark, brown skin. I guess I am a mystery I let my mom finish scrubbing, and then I got ready for another hunt. I refilled my sack of arrows, and pulled on my leather arm guard. Here in Africa, we have to make everything. There are no shops, or merchants here, which is why I hunt. I sling my arrow sack around my shoulder, and I grab my bow and head off. I run off into the woods and search for some game, but there weren’t any animals nearby, so I kept going. Then, I heard rustling a bit to my left. I slowly

Aphrodite: The Charmer - December 2010

“Wait up guys!” Aphrodite yelled to her friends, Hera, Athena, Iris and Eos. As Goddesses, each one of Aphrodite’s friends had a special ‘talent’ of their own. Selene was the Goddess of the moon and night, Eos was the gentle Goddess of dawn, Athena was the Goddess of wisdom and battle, Persephone was the Goddess of nature pretty much, Iris was the Goddess of rainbows and messages and Hera was the Goddess of marriage. But not all of the Gods and Goddesses were that pleasant. Take Ares for example, he was the God of war. And then there was Hades, who is the God of the dead, and who is also Persephone’s secret crush. Aphrodite was the Goddess of love and beauty, so, naturally, she was gorgeous. Aphrodite had blonde hair that tumbled in small curls a couple inches down her back. She had sparkling green eyes that were so wonderful, when you looked at her; you just have to stare into those perfect eyes of hers. Aphrodite had dazzling white teeth that were absolutely perfect in every way. She had the most lushes’ lips ever, that were smothered in bright pink strawberry lipstick. And her skin, oh Aphrodite had gorgeous skin. Her cheeks were powdered with red blush, today she wore light blue eye shadow, but other than the make up, Aphrodite’s skin was pale and nice. The only person in the whole school, who was almost as pretty as her, was Iris. Iris had the longest hair in the… lets say whole galaxy. It was strait, and it was so long, that sometimes, it tickled her ankles. No one really knew what colour her hair was. It changed colour ever two seconds.

The Danger of Likeness by Vhadia Bogner

Chapter 1: Not Cool, Mom!

I have the ultimate, complete, and obviously worst life in the world. My name is Kevin. I’m 12 years old. Do you want me to tell you why I have the worst life in the world? Well I’ll tell you. It all started on a… what was it again? Ah, yes. It all started on a Tuesday, April second, 2010.

12 - June 2011

Chapter 1: The Meeting at the Meet

It was February 12, the date of the yearly swimming meet, where all of the girls over the age of 6 and under the age of 18 would come. Everyone came because every single girl from every single town in The Border had to participate. If they didn’t, well, no one really knows what happens to them. So all of the girls practice swimming all the time. In the competition, there was one girl, Lynn, who has been one of the best swimmers in the competition since she started when she was 6, which is surprising because she is so young. Lynn is 12 years old. When she first started, she came in tenth place. Tenth place out of about 2,000,000th place, in other words, she is really, very good.
The towns in The Border are separated into different towns depending on what your “talent” is. There is one town called Theroy. Everyone in Theroy “stretches”. If you take a… Let’s see. If you take a random girl from Theroy by the arm, you can walk exactly a mile, and her arm, but only her arm, not her body will come with you. Other towns morph their voices; write any type of handwriting or calligraphy; have insane strength; make random parts of their bodies blow up in size- things like that. Our young Lynn lives in a town called Plome. Every girl in Plome has to do the yearly swimming competitions every year until they are eighteen years old. But, notice how I said all the girls had to compete. I didn’t say that all the boys have to. No boy is expected to compete. They are supposed to be able to fight, and really, you can’t fight by swimming. You can fight by hitting, you can fight with kicking, and you can blow parts of yourself up, and bounce your enemy away.

IT: Living NOTHING by Vhadia Bogner - April 2011

Trying the First

Introduction



Hi! I’m Dave. I know a girl. Her name is Lorelei. Her life was awful, but it teaches a lesson. I’m in her story, and so is another girl named Paige. We accompany her, and take care of her throughout the story. She was such a good kid, Paige and I were both sorry to see her go… Well, if you want to hear her story, she’ll tell you in a couple of minutes.

Chapter 1; The Beginning
I lived with my parents, my older sister Norah, and my little baby sister Ashley in a little house in London. Everything was going fine until… it happened. It came. I don’t want to talk about it. It’s a sad story. It killed my both my parents. It came and destroyed my house. Norah tried to protect us-me and Ashley I mean. But, it killed Ashley.

Feasting in the Middle - April 2011

Chapter 1; The Feast
Noa

“No! No! No!” My teacher, Ms. Sharrock said. “ I told you that you would get into your costumes after we set up for the feast!” My class, 4AB started rushing around the classroom, chatting, and started setting up for their medieval feast. The girls pushed their desks into two, long tables, and put tablecloths over them. The girls who were playing the peasants set the table grumpily. If they had known that they had to serve people and set the table, they wouldn’t have dressed up as peasants! I had dressed up as a peasant also. I was wearing sweatpants, a poncho, and no shoes.
At my school, the fourth graders learn about life in the Middle Ages, and they have a medieval feast. The girls were allowed to dress up as people from the middle ages-peasants, knights, lords, ladies, noble men and women, and a couple people dressed up as the emperor and empress. My school is an all girl school. NO BOYS ALLOWED!!! Our teachers told us that it was an all girl school because, back when my mom had a pet Dinosaur, girls didn’t go to school, but everyone knows it’s either because boys have cooties, or because boys suck. It’s a private school, if that’s what you’re wondering. My school is called Brearley. It’s on East 83rd Street in Manhattan.
“Hey Lila! Who’s your date to the feast?” I asked. You see, I don’t why, but everyone is bringing dates to the feast. My best friend Lila Selin was dressed up as a Lady. Lila was… tall I guess, but I was a couple inches taller than her. She has nice brown eyes and long dark brown hair. She has braces, I have glasses, and together, Lila and me were pretty much the typical class nerds. (No offence Lila) I was a peasant. Lila replied, “Phoebe! She- well, for now, he is my knight in shining armor!” We giggled. Lila was so dramatic sometimes!
“Who’s your date?” Lila asked me. “Calliste!” I said matter-of-factly. Then, I said, “ She- well, in this case, he is my peasant in dirty clothes!” Lila and I both burst out laughing. It was very unlike us to go to a feast with someone like Calliste and Phoebe. They were popular! And they’re…bigger. Not in weight, but in…popularity. They were louder and… they hang out with people more. I don’t know about Lila, but I try to stay away from…people. If Lila had dressed up as a peasant, or if I had dressed up like a Lord, we definitely would’ve gone with each other!

A Great Mind for the Weak - April 2011

Prologue

# 1; Serena

Hi. My name is Serena Kreshtool. I’m 11 years old. I go to the Wenstince School for the Hurt. Well, I’ll tell you why I go to that school. Just to warn you, I like to tell stories, so prepare for awesomeness! It all started by my brother calling me a liar…
“Get back here David!!!” That’s my brother. He stuck out his tongue out at me. I made a grab at him and ripped off the sleeve of his shirt. Uh, oh. That was David’s favorite shirt! I’m dead meat. I did the smartest thing I could think of. I ran. David chased me all around the house. I almost tripped on the living room rug. We ran into the kitchen and David grabbed my hair. I tried to pull away from him. I leaned, yanked and even kicked David a couple times. Then, I did the stupidest thing in the world-I grabbed a knife and cut off my hair. That was a mistake. Since I was leaning so much, when I cut my hair I was out of David’s grasp. I fell forward. On my face. Luckily, I was smart enough to put my arm out in front of me. Un-luckily, I was stupid enough to put my elbow further out than my hands.
CRACK!!!! “OOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
My mom ran into the room, followed closely by dad.
“No!” mom screamed. “You cut your hair with the knife! It might have lice on it now! You should’ve known better Serena! Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! SERENA!”
Tears streamed down my face and I started sobbing.
A couple hours later we arrived at the Hospital after the long car ride while I screamed, “OOWW!!!!!!!!!” in David’s ear. Well, I guess you know what happens next; I broke my arm. Who told you? Ha-ha! I have a big green cast that goes up to my… let’s just say thigh of my arm. It’s in a sling because it’s, like, 5 pounds heavier than I am. So that’s how I broke my arm. Then mom and dad shipped me off to the Wenstince School for the hurt. Poo you mom and dad.

Chapter 2: Tati

Hey there! I’m Tatiana Meloni. You can call me Tati for short. I’m 10 years old. I have broken the world record of biggest bubble blown with bubble gum. I used to do soccer, but I stopped. And I don’t want to brag or anything, but I bet I was the world’s awesomest jump-roper. And- yeah I kinda ran out of the good stuff to say. I’m in a wheelchair, ‘ya see. If you want I can explain why I’m in one. Do you want to know? No. Of course you don’t. Why would you want to waste your time learning how a silly little kid broke her legs anyway? ….Oh, shut up Serena. Fine, I’ll tell them, but if they think it’s not interesting, you owe me a pack of gum. I don’t even like telling how I did it. Okay guys I’ll tell you. Once upon a time, blah, blah, blah. Long story short, I have Arthritis. That is when my joints and bones are misshapen or whatever. I was born with it, so it wasn’t a problem until I was 6. I started walking funny so I got a cane. Then I had to get on crutches. Now, it got so bad, that I’m in a wheelchair and my parents shipped me off to the Wenstince School for the Hurt. There, now you know why. Go away. Goodbye.

Chapter 3: Georgia

Hi. I’m Georgia. I’m 10. 1 thing about me that you should know; I don’t like to talk, so don’t expect anything from me. My story is short and simple. I got sick when I was 7. The sickness turned into a disease. Now I’m blind. Bye.



Chapter 4: Lola

Hi. I’m Lola. I’m 10. I have a question for you. My parents shipped me off to some boarding school for the hurt but I’m not hurt!!! I have a stutter- a speech problem. I’m not hurt!!! It’s not fair!!! What’s the point of that anyway?! Sending someone who’s not hurt to a school for hurt people!!! IT’S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!

# 5; Sarah
Hi. I’m Sarah Sharrock. I’m 10. I’m going to make my story short and simple. I have asthma. My family hates me. The shipped my off to boarding school for hurt dudes. Bye!

#6; Katie
Hi, everybody. My name is Katie. I’m 7. I go to the Wenstince School for the Hurt. I bet you’re wondering why I go to that school. Well, I’ll tell you. I live in a poor family. I was home schooled and every thing was fine. Sometimes, I even got to watch movies! Then I got a wump. That wump was named Cancer. Mama says that she can’t pay for the medicine to help me so she sent me to that school, since it’s free. Now I’m getting ready to go to school. I hope it’s fun. I don’t need more than a backpack. All I really needed were my friends-Darth Vader, C3-PO, and a Storm Trooper. I’ll miss Mama and Papa. I wonder if I’ll like school. I mean I’m still learning some words. And I’m only 7! What if I can’t understand them! I wonder if the kids and teachers there are friendly. Well, whatever it’s like there, I bet I can sneak some Fun in there somewhere! Bye!

Not the prologue anymore!
Chapter1: meeting
Serena


Well, it’s first day of school. I have no idea what it’s like.
I have no idea what it’s like at a sleep away camp, but those are only 1 or 2 months. What is it going to be like a year, a full YEAR without mom and dad? When I get to my dorm, I find a girl, about my age, sitting on one of the beds. I guess I just got myself a roomy! I don’t know why she was here though. No cast or any thing. She looked like a typical girl; Brown, long hair pulled back in a light blue headband, sparkly green eyes, and a small freckle under her left eye. She was wearing a purple jumper with a striped T-shirt. She was wearing brown leather sandals, too. When she noticed me walk in holding all of my belongings in my right hand, she got up and made a motion that I think meant she was trying to help me with my things. She helped me un-pack, and the whole thing was silent. When we were done, I said, “Thanks. Can you talk?” She nodded. “My name is Serena. I’m 10, what about you?”
She coughed, and said, “M-my n-n-name is L-L-Lola. I-I’m 10.” She let out a sigh and looked sad. I patted her on the back. Oops. Wrong hand! My giant cast almost sent Lola flying off the bed.
“Sorry!” Lola nodded. That either meant that it was okay, or she hates me now. Personally, I hope it’s the first one. A bell rung.
“Time for class, and the first day of school.”

Chapter 2; Schedule
Tati

School has started. My roomy, a girl named Georgia, has to push me around everywhere. We all had to gather around a young lady who was handing out schedules. A nametag said her name was Maisie. 1 girl wouldn’t take it. She didn’t notice it I don’t think. Maisie had to shove the schedule into her hand for the girl to finally take it. My first class was in room # 3-A. Georgia wheeled me into the elevator and I was on my way to my first period.

Chapter 3; Class
Georgia

When class started, little girl had to take my hand and had to drag me to first period. I was in room # 3-A. Finally, about 10 minutes later I arrived at the classroom. I thanked the little girl who helped me get here. I felt my way to a desk, and sat down. I fixed my hair to make sure it hung over my eyes. When everybody was here, seated and quiet, I heard footsteps. Let’s see… high-heels, size 11-women’s, most likely from Harry’s Shoes- adults of course. The shoes walked up to the front of the class.
“Hello class.” the teacher said. It was a girl, no doubt about it.
“Right now we’re going to go around the room saying our names and why we’re here. I’m Elizabeth. Now you go sweetie. You there in the front.” The girl sat up straiter. “My name is Tati. I’m 10. I go here because I have Arthritis and I need a wheelchair.” The girl next to Tati stood up. “Hi. My name is Serena. I’m 11. I broke my arm, as you can see.” Defiantly, she sat down with a thud. The girl next to Serena stood up. “Hey, there. My name’s Sarah. I’m 10. I’ve got asthma.” The girl next to Sarah stood up. “Hi. M-my n-n-name is L-Lola. I’m 10 a-a-and-“ Elizabeth interrupted her, “Yes, Lola. I think we can all tell why you’re here-no offence.” Lola nodded. It was my turn. I stood up. “Hello. I’m Georgia. I’m 10. I’m here ‘cause I’m blind.” I sat back down. Thinking every one had said their name, I was startled when a young girl’s voice quietly and nervously said, “Hi, everybody. Um, my name is Katie, and I’m 7 years old. I go to this school because I have a wump.” I couldn’t hear it, but I’m pretty sure Katie sat down. Wow, I thought. That was the quietest girl I have ever heard! Elizabeth asked, “Hi, Katie. Who are your friends?” Friends? Katie picked up something. After bonking me in the head, I was pretty sure they were plastic small things.
“Um, this is Darth Vader. And uh, that’s C-3PO and this is a Storm Trooper. They’re all from Star Wars. Isn’t that right Darth Vader? Yes it is.” Elizabeth coughed. “Okay then. Today we will be studying the art of writing. Does everybody know how to write here? Raise your hand if you don’t.”
I raised my hand. I’m blind-how can people expect me to know how too write! I heard Elizabeth’s pen scratch my name down in her binder.
“Okay,” Elizabeth said. “I’m going to teach you how to write.” I waited for Elizabeth to call me up. She coughed. “Can you come up here with a pencil, Katie?”

Chapter; Learning How to Write
Katie

I nervously walked up to the front of the classroom.

The Failing Light - April 2011

Prologue

It’s happening. It’s happened before, but it has never been this detailed. This bloody. It always seems scary, even though I have it almost every night, except when I’m having another one. I always get them, I don’t know why. For some reason, this particular one has been following me around for months and months, trying to get me to notice it. I always do, of course, but I act like I don’t. My Mum always used to say; “If you are brave, then stand up to it. Once you can stand up to it, then you can defeat it, and do anything, anything at all.”
A lot of people get them, but none ever have them like I do. Theirs are scary, but mine are terrifying. Realistic. Bloody. If you don’t believe me, then by all means, I’ll tell them to you. But remember…
I WARNED YOU.
IT

I’m falling down a dark pit that won’t stop. Ever. Never ever ever. Then suddenly I hear a cackle. A cackle that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and a cackle that was so evil that it sends shivers through my spine and I scream as a hand reaches out. The hand is bony and it’s nails, if you can even call them nails, her talons are curved towards my face and I try to move but I can’t. It’s too late. I shriek as the hand grabs a hold of my arm and starts pulling me into the wall. But the wall isn’t a wall anymore. It has transformed into a chalkboard. There isn’t any writing on it, but there is a single piece of chalk. As I get pulled along, I pick it up and manage to write two words:
HELP ME.

1. Back To Life

You’re lucky. I told it to you, but just because I’m nice, and because there is a chance that you are a young child, I told you one of the really very completely un-scary one. *sigh* You know, now is the time where I think it would be polite to say thank-you. Well, whatever. I guess people don’t say thank you anymore.

Peanut Moon: Imagine the Mountain by Vhadia Bogner

Chapter 1; my b-day! Completely, totally, utterly, positively…WOW

“AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I go flying through the air and land in a pile of mud. Ms. Lind calls for the fifth time, “Peanut Moon! Come home right now!” I pick myself up and call back to her, “Coming Ma’am!” I shake myself and wipe off as much mud from me as I can. Then I run as fast as I could, which was very fast. As I ran, I pictured myself as a bird. I flew along the wind for a couple of minutes before smashing into a tree. I got up, a bit dazed.

Wolf: A New Moon by Vhadia Bogner February 2011

Chapter 1
Nat

Hey, I’m Nat. I’m fourteen years old. My name’s not actually Nat-it’s Nathaniel. A really embarrassing name, am I right? So I shortened it to Nat. Other than that, I’ve only got two other embarrassing things about me- I have an odd bright white streak in my hair right above my left temple. And I’ve got white eyes. Most people have brown eyes or green eyes, but I’ve got white ones. I think it annoys people, because it makes every single bully in Oklahoma pick on me, so I try to keep my head down as much as I can. Every one has a secret right? Well, I’ve got one, and I won’t tell anybody. If I did, they’d sent me directly to a mental hospital. And besides, it only happens if I want it to, and on full moons. Oops, I think I just gave something away. Well, don’t let this secret bother you too much, because you’ll find out in a minute. I know exactly what you’re saying/thinking right now- “Please will you tell me Nat?” well, NO I won’t! Okay, I’m a Wolf. Well, since I’m human too, I guess I’m a Ware-wolf. OH MY GOD I HATE MYSELF!!!!! Ladies and gentlemen, shut your ears, because there’s going a little screaming now. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! WHY DID I SAY THAT?! *$%#@&^*!!!!! AAAAHHHH!!!!!

. . . .

Sorry about that. Well, now that you know, I won’t need to go into all the details about stuff. All I need to tell you about is S.C.H.O.O.L. S.C.H.O.O.O.L isn’t a normal school. It stands for: Super Cool Highly Oxygenized Oasis of Luck. It just has the word Luck in it because the only kids who go there are very un-lucky. I go there because my parents found out that I was a wolf and got scared of me. Now I’m in California at a boarding school. Not S.C.O.O.L, just a school. A week later I ran away and found myself in Vermont. I don’t know how. Well, I was in the forest, when I got lost. The moon came up and I wanted to get somewhere safe quickly, so I changed myself into a Wolf. I don’t exactly remember what happened then. My Wolf-self takes over me, you see, and whenever I change into it, I get nearly all of my energy sucked to somewhere halfway across the planet. I bounded through the forest. Light came up and a boy a little older than I was, maybe sixteen or seventeen, came out of the trees and towards me. That boy was either very stupid, or he saw that I was human. I think he saw that I was a human. He tried to calm me down, and it worked a little bit, but enough so that he could take me to S.C.H.O.O.L. By then, I had been trying to get away from him, but by the time we got there, I was already amazingly tired. My Wolf had really done it. When we got there, the second I got onto the boundaries, I collapsed, and formed back into myself. The boy with me called for help, but it all sounded tinny and far away. A couple people came and picked me up. A couple minutes later, they put me down on a bed and I passed out cold.

Chapter 2
Quinn


I woke up a day later and I felt fine. I got the news that in the time that I was out, a new girl had come. The kid who told me said that she was very odd looking. Not as odd looking as me, I thought. The kid also told me that my first lesson was in place 3J. I got some books I needed and headed out. I still kept my head down in case there were any bullies at this school. The bad thing was, that when I put my head down, I can’t see! I hoped I didn’t bump into anybody and make an enemy or make fool of myself on my first day. BAM! I spoke to soon. Books flew everywhere. On my way down, one of my big books came out of my grip and I heard a thump, then a moan. Uh, oh. I felt fangs grow in my mouth and willed myself not to bite myself, or the person I bumped into. Un easily, I looked up. Oh, no! I had bumped into a girl! I had hit a girl! And on my first day! The girl had a bruise forming on her forehead right above her eyebrow. It was bleeding a little bit. Her head was down just as mine always was.
“I’m so sorry,” I said. “I was stupid. I wasn’t looking up.” The girl shifted. “No, It was my fault. I was running and I wasn’t looking up. You’ve got some grip on those books of yours.” She joked. Her voice was sweet. It had that sort of song quality to it, like whenever she spoke, she was singing. I liked it. I remembered her wound. I ripped a piece of cloth off my shirt and leaned toward her “Here,” I said. “Look up.” She shook her head, and a splash of blood landed on the ground, next to my knee. She tried to get up, but swayed and collapsed. I lunged out and caught her head before it hit the ground. Another splash of blood landed on her other blood, forming her own personal pool of blood. I needed to help her. Immediately, she covered her eyes and said, “Please don’t! You’ll start laughing at me.”
I was worried about what was up with her eyes, but wanted to stop her bleeding, because her hand was now red with her blood dripping onto it, adding to her pool, wich was now the size of my hand. I sat her up and took her hands away from her face. I shot backwards, my eyes wide. Her eyes were red. They were glowing. I tried to ignore them, but the girl kept on saying, “See, I told you they were weird.”
“Stop it already! Your eyes are not that different from mine. Just let me clean your cut!” Finally, She let me. I talked to her as I wiped her bruise.
“So, What’s your name? I’m Nat.”
“Quinn.”
“How old are you? I’m fourteen.”
“Same. OW!”
“Sorry.”
Fifteen minutes later, I was done. It was still bleeding a bit, but it was good enough. I had to bring her to the nurse. I helped Quinn stand. She waved me off. “I can walk by myself.” She took a step. She wobbled, but managed to stay upright. Good. She took another step. Her knees buckled under her. “Woa!” I shot out and caught her. I laughed. “How ‘bout I take it from here?” She nodded, and another drop of blood was added to her pool.

Fairytales By Ali Marrowe and Fin Wood, as told to Catherine Bogner- February 2011

Prologue

A tale is like a story. A story is like a rug, but you weave it with words. Each peace of thread comes from something, just like the words come from within. Combined, the threads weave together a wondrous thing, blooming with detail. And the words of a tale spin with joyous words. Today I will weave the Tales of Mythical creatures, Castles, Fairies, and Witches. Some of these Tales are very precious, they came all the way from Alneidaya. If one of these pages fall out and rip, Take some string and sew it back in immediately. This is the last of its kind. There is only one other book in the whole world, and many people will do many harsh things to you to get to this book. Do not let anyone else read it. No adults are allowed to. Hide it. Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
---Ms. Catherine Bogner.

#3; becoming a Sorceress means we need to know math. I hate math. We don’t do it like 5+4=
We do it like B+☐xG=A57S. And that’s all my problems.
I have a very cute cat named Toby. He isn’t black because they ran out of black cats before I got there. That’s a picture of him right there. Isn’t he cute?

The Three Masters: In the Beginning - January 2011

Get to know me.

Um, hi. Sorry, I’m still getting used to saying things like hi, and other things like that, so for you, I talk funny. Well, you’ll learn more about that later.

My name is Flora Selin. I am almost 10 years old, so basically I should have just said that I was 9. I will tell you what I look like, even though there is a picture of me right there. See? Well, I am kind of funny looking, and every body, including you, believes that. Okay. So, I have well, I don’t really have an eye colour. The colours change by what mood that I am in. right now they are purple. I have bright red hair with natural orange and yellow streaks. For some reason, my hair splits in to weird kind of pointed big locks, so all together; my hair looks like fire, almost. I have pale ish skin, with freckles sprayed across my nose and cheeks. So, that’s pretty much me. So, I will continue the book now. Goodbye!

From,
Flora Selin.


CHAPTER 1: I GET BAD NEWS, REALLY BAD NEWS.

“Flora! Time to wake up. Your Abba and I have a surprise for you.” My Ima said. That meant; ‘Flora! Time to wake up. Your Abba and I have a surprise for you.’ By the way, Ima is Mom, and Abba means Dad. Ima opened the curtains and bright, blinding light streamed into my room. I opened my eyes and smiled up at Ima. She smiled back at me. I know some people are very tired and gross in the morning, but not me. I’m awake, when I’m awake. My hair stays in its weird locks all the time, but my hair does get very tangled. I got out of bed and stretched. I rubbed my eyes and said, “Good morning Ima!” That meant, ‘Good morning Ima!’ Ima combed her fingers through my hair and said, “How about you get dressed and then come downstairs for the surprise, okay?” That means ‘How about you get dressed and then come downstairs for the surprise, okay?’ I nodded. Ima kissed the top of my head and walked out of my room. I looked in my closet and pulled out my favorite outfit; a pair of overalls, shorts not pants, and a light blue T-shirt. I picked up a brush and started to brush my hair. I took off my pajamas and put on the cloths. I walked out and hopped down the stairs. Then I ran back up them, skidded into my room. I grabbed the leash that always hung on my bedpost, and then I ran back downstairs, skipping about 15 steps. I ran into the family room and found my Ima and Abba sitting on the couch holding hands and smiling. I stood in front of them and said, “Why are you smiling?” I knew what they were smiling about. The surprise. And that’s exactly what Abba said.

“Flora,” Ima said, “Your Abba and have made a decision.” That meant that she and Abba had made a decision. I got a bit nervous about the whole decision thing. “Um… what decision?” Ima and Abba’s smiles turned to grins. Abba leaned towards me and said, “The decision is… we’re moving!” What? I felt lightheaded. I managed to stammer, “We’re… moving?”

Chapter 1: meet me

Hi. Just to let you know, my life sucks!!! So... now that I've gone over that, let me get one thing strait. So, if I ever become a famous rock star, people will be reading this. Oh and just to let you know, I'm Lila and this is my diary about how to survive eighth grade to my five year old little sister, Serena, you, even though I don't have much time to write this guide between home work, and taking care of you because you broke your nose. But I'm still going to write this guide for you. I am the prettiest girl that you will ever know. I have strait red hair that's so long; it pretty much tickles the back of my knees when I stand. I have green eyes, pink lips and I always wear my favorite purple eye shadow.

"Lila!! Time for school!!" I roll my eyes but close my diary.

"Coming Mom!" I yell as I sling my backpack over my shoulder. I run out the door and head to the bus stop. Five minutes later I run back inside the house, and up the stairs skipping about two steps with each step. I throw off my PJs, grab a yellow and blue tee, put on a skirt and the shirt and off I go!

"What took so long honey?"

"Sorry mom, I forgot to get dressed."

"Again?" I sigh.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, my mother!"

"Just go to the bus stop sweetie." My mom just sounds aggravated, probably because Justin, seventeen-year-old brat of a brother was on the phone with his girlfriends all night, so she got no sleep.

"Uh, mom. I think I need a ride to school."

"Why sweetie? Didn't I sign you up for the bus?"

"Mom busses are for nerds. And it just rolled by. See?" Mom rolls her eyes.

"Just get in the car."

Hi Serena. First day of school: Cute boy (Noah) asked me out on Friday! Evil teacher (Mr. Fannly) already hates me. New BFF Sara totally rocks! (Old BFF Diana turned on me for the popular posse.) And you are driving me crazy! Mom and dad are giving you all the attention just because you broke your nose. It's so not fair! I might as well break MY nose. Well, I hope you don't take that offensively. I've already got an IM with Sara! Speaking of which, I should go do that. Bye!!!

The Dream Song - December 2010

By Noa Sheidlower




CHAPTER ONE: THE SCREAM


Once in a far off place, there was a scream. It's not what you think of when someone says there was a scream. It's actually a funny story. Now let me tell you the real story of the scream before you run off telling your mom how scary your new book is and that she should return it or burn it to a pile of ashes in your fire place and ask for your money back.

The beginning of this story takes place deep in the forest. A boy is walking around climbing trees. He's lost in a forest so there's really nothing else to do. A couple yards ahead, he sees a tree. The biggest tree the boy had ever seen. Bigger than the trees in Canada! He SO wanted to climb it. The boy grabbed on to the nearest branch and hauled himself up. Branch after branch the boy climbed the tree.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be calling HIM boy. He isn't a boy any more. I mean, you wouldn't call a twelve year old... person BOY now would you? Because I would feel a bit silly. Oh great! NOW what should I call him?! HMMM.... I've got it. I'll call him, wait. I er lost it!!! Give me a minute now, would you? I'm sorry. I can't er remember it. So, if you don't mind, I will continue calling him BOY until you figure out what his name is. OOPS!!!! I'm sorry I gave that away. Um back to the story?!

The boy was still climbing. He thought this tree would never end! By now he was reconsidering ever climbing the tree in the first place. He looked down to see if he should climb back down or try to make it to the top. if he did make it to the top he might even break a world record for CLIMBING THE BIGGEST TREE!! But when he looked down, he suddenly felt very dizzy. The ground was at the least 2 miles away. All the other trees he had thought were big looked like POLLY POCKET TOY TREES. The only thing that made the boy know that the trees weren't fake was the wind that rustled through the luxurious green leaves and the branches.

(The boy decided to continue climbing. So far he had been climbing for over an hour, but the boy only thought he had been climbing that tree for twenty minutes)
The boy tried climbing for about another fifteen minutes, then his foot slipped. The boy squealed. (Sorry about the whole squeal thing. I know you’re probably
thinking: Oh my gods! This person is soo weird for saying squealed in the book. How lame! But really it's because I couldn't say screamed, because that wasn't the real screaming part so I couldn't have said scream Whew! Sorry for yelling at you. I feel sad now. :( Please leave me alone for a few minutes please. Thank you. Now you guys "sniff" should get back to the "sniff" boy. "sniff, sniff") Trying to get his foot back on the tree, slowly, very slowly, HAIR began to come down from above the boy's head. Then the boy saw that the hair was coming from a window at the top of the tree, about six feet above his head. When it came into reach he grabbed on to the hair and started, or tried, to pull himself up. But the minute he began to pull there was a scream. ("sniff" HA!) Then the boy heard voices coming from the window. "Un-do it un-do it!
"I can't it'll kill the person who is on the other end!" "Why not?" "I just said why."
"Okay but I don't get how or why it'll kill the person on the other end!"
"Fine. If we un-twist your hair well, we can't with a person on one end because we would need to either find a way to make you fly to get your hair off the place or-" "wait why?"
"Let me start differently. Okay. If we undo your hair from around the...house, well if we manage it, the sudden pressure of all of your hair coming undone, will send the vibration of the pressure from undoing your hair through all of the strands of your hair all the way to the bottom where the person is holding on, the force of all the threads of your hair causing the person to fall to their death. Or if we let all of your hair down, the weight of the person will rip off all of your hair, supposedly ripping out the roots of your hair, so your hair will never be able to grow again without the planted roots of your head."
" Um... English please?"
"UUHHHGGG!!!!!!"

chapter two: who are you?

The two voices finally came to an agreement and decided to pull the person up with the extra hair that the person was holding on to. Both people grabbed on to the hair (including the person who owned the hair) and began to pull. But of course the boy on the other end didn't know that the people were going to pull, so one minute he's holding on to the hair, relaxed and finally gotten used to holding on to hair two miles above ground, the next minute he's screaming his head off and clinging on to the moving hair for dear life! Finally, the boy stopped screaming when the two people pulled him through the window. The boy lay sprawled out on a wooden floor. A couple minutes later the boy pulled himself to his feet. Standing in front of him, there were two girls. One of the girls looked like she was around and about his age. The first girl was younger than the other girl and him. She had extremely long hair that she was trying to unwind from hooks and wooden boards all over the (I guess you could call this place a house type of thing.) House. The girl had brown eyes, blond hair; she smiled a lot, and seemed to dance as she moved. She had finally finished unwinding her hair from the house and was now giggling at the boy. He was the first one to speak.” Why are you laughing at me?” he asked the giggling little girl. “Sorry,” the little girl said. “It's just. With all the screaming, and the way you were screaming, I thought you were a girl!” The boy started chasing little girl, who squealed in delight, thinking that this was a game. They ran around the house until finally the boy caught the little girl and held her captive then asked her, “Who are you?” The little girl looked puzzled for a moment and glanced at the other girl as if for help or advice, then said, “my name is Elaine. Who are you?” The boy cleared his throat and said, ”My name is Jesse. How old are you?” Elaine again looked at the other girl desperate for help. “Remember?” the other girl said. Her voice reminded Jesse of wind. The girl went on, ”We talked about this. How many times have you seen snow?” Elaine thought for a moment then shook her head and said, “I forget.” The other girl turned to look at Elaine and said “Why don't you go to the calendar so you can tell “ The girl looked at Jesse for his name. “Jesse,” he told her. “Jesse how old you are.” She pointed to something on the wall for Elaine. Elaine scampered over to the calendar, going so fast she almost banished March. Then the other girl asked, “How old are you?” Jesse simply said,” 12.” Just then Elaine came dancing over to Jesse, stood in front of him, hands on hips looking important. Elaine took a deep breath and said, ”I am 9 or 10 years old.” The other girl congratulated Elaine and told Jesse, “ You can call me Jenna or Jenny,” before walking back to her little desk in the corner, pulled out a giant book and started to read. The book was about a 16 inches by 12 inches and about six inches thick. Jesse thought it would be 5 billion pages long, and when a big gust of wind sent the back pages flying up, Jesse found out that he had been right! "What in the world are you reading?" Jesse asked. Jenna rolled her eyes but said, " The Wonderful World of Science. Can't you read? I mean, if you live down there don't the other humans- I I mean people teach you how to read?" Jesse was confused about a couple things in this tower and for some reason he began to talk to himself. " 1. Why did Jenna say humans instead of people? 2. Why do Elaine and Jenna live in this dump any way?"
"We heard that!"

Jesse ignored them and continued. " 3. Why don't they just leave here?" And that was pretty much it. Except for one other thing about Jenna that Jesse really did not want to say it aloud. He didn't even want to think about it. He went up to Elaine who was drawing pictures on the walls with Jesse seriously had no idea what she was drawing on the walls with. And so (Of course / obviously), he asked, " What in the world are you painting with?" Elaine stopped painting and looked at Jesse.
" What do mean?" She asked. Jesse was a bit caught off guard by that question.
"Um... What are you painting the walls with? Like crayons, markers, paint?" now Elaine looked at Jesse like he was crazy.
" What are those things any way? But I'm using my fruit just what ever you do; don’t tell Jenna that I'm using my fruit. Okay?" Jesse promised that he wouldn't tell. Then he asked quietly, "What type of fruits did you use?" Elaine leaned in close to him and lowered her voice and said, "I'm using I think straw berries, grapes, carrots, mangos, broccoli, apples, tomatoes, spinach, limes and coli flower."
Jesse didn't think that coli flower was a fruit but he didn't want to make Elaine feel bad. So instead he walked over to Jenna and told her, " You really need to teach Elaine the difference between fruits and vegetables."
"Hey! I did!!!!!" WHAM!!!!!

chapter three: meeting her

And After that Jesse had no idea what happened. Jenna had knocked him out cold when he had said that Elaine needed to learn about fruits and vegetables, but Jesse learned the hard way that Jenna had already taut Elaine the difference between fruit and vegetables. When Jesse woke up he blinked a couple times and got up. He walked up to Jenna and said, " Oh I hate you." Jenna got up from her chair and walked uncomfortably close to him so Jesse could feel her chest brushing against his and she sized him up. "Oh yeah?" She asked him.
"Yeah. Any one who knocks me out, I hate. And you knocked me out, so naturally I hate you." Jesse took a step back wards and before Jenna could step towards him and diss him, Jesse raised his arm and slapped her across the face. Jenna staggered back wards, her mouth open but no words came out. Only a squeak escaped from her lips. Jenna took a step forward. " You did not just do that." She said.
" Oh he did he did!!!" Squeaked Elaine who had apparently been watching the whole time. Jenna and Jesse looked at her. Elaine smiled, embarrassed and sat down but continued to watch. Now it was Jenna's turn. She smiles at Jesse and touched his shoulder. Then she raised her leg and kicked him in the shin. Jesse swept her legs out from under her. On her way down, Jenna made a fist and punched Jesse in the stomach. Then when he was bending down, Jenna used her fore- arm and shot it down on his neck and then stood behind him and kicked his back so Jesse was laying face first on the ground. He groaned. Jesse looked up to find a girl looking at him. She had long very straight dark hair that dipped protectively over the right side of her face. Jesse yelled in surprise and scrambled back.
"Who- who are you?" Jesse asked. Elaine said, "That's Vhadia She doesn't talk much though." Jesse nodded warily. Elaine introduced Jesse and Vhadia. "Vhadia, this is Jesse. Jesse, this is Vhadia."
"Hi Vhadia. Um, How old are you?" Jesse asked. Vhadia nodded in hello and put up in one hand one finger and in the other hand two fingers. Elaine translated, "Vhadia means she's twelve years old. Right?" Vhadia nodded in agreement.
"Soo," Jesse started. "I know how to get out of this dump-I I mean place. Do you want me to help you?" Jenna and Elaine both said at the same time "Yes!!" And Vhadia (As she always does,) stayed quiet but nodded. Jesse beckoned Elva, Jenna and Vhadia to him, (Though Jenna wasn't to happy about it,) and Jesse told them his plan.


CHAPTER FOUR: LEAVING

Five minutes later Elaine had just finished pulling all her hair through an iron metal hook on the side of the window. (This might be a good place to stop if you're reading
"You first Jenna," Jesse said. " Go ahead." Jenna nervously took hold of Elva's hair and Elaine quickly grabbed onto the hair that was on her side of the hook.
"I'm sorry." Jenna said as she jumped out of the window. Jesse, Elaine and Vhadia rushed to the window to see Jenna screaming as she slid down Elva's hair like a fire pole until she let go of the hair way to early and crashed onto the ground it and Jesse, Elaine and Vhadia didn't see Jenna get back up. Now it was Jesse's turn. He took hold of the hair and jumped out. Again, Elaine and Vhadia looked out the window as they watched him screaming souring like a rocket down Elaine's hair and at the right time let go before he crashed like Jenna, but he still skidded and rolled in to a tree. Elaine couldn't help but smirk. Now it was Vhadia's turn to jump. She nervously put her hands around Elaine's hair and thought to her self, " Don't ever look back." and she stepped onto the ledge of the wind sill, shut her eyes and let go with her feet. Vhadia plummeted to what she thought would be her death. As she fell, her feet flew above her and she yelled, " Don't ever look back! Don't ever look back!" and as Vhadia said that her fall slowed down and she began to think to her self, "Don't fall. Don't look back. Stay up." Vhadia slowed down visibly. Her eyes had been closed this whole time as she thought. But right then when she opened her eyes Vhadia saw the ground coming towards her a yard away and she lost concentration and the earth came faster than it had for Jesse or Jenna. Vhadia tried to think more but she let go of the hair and ended up jerking upward and crashing into a tree and hang there limply not quite sure if se was still alive.
And now we're going back up to the tower where Elaine is still waiting and looking down as Vhadia crashes into the tree and this time Elaine didn't smirk, giggle or laugh. She just winced as if she felt it too.
Bobbie stepped backwards thinking about the things that Jesse had told her to do. Elaine nervously grabbed onto the hair that was a couple inches from her head and jumped out of the window. As she fell, Elaine softly felt the loose knot that was attached to the hook turn as she fell. When Elaine reached the ground, she let go of her own hair and plopped on to the ground landing on her back. Elaine had to pull on her hair so all of it would come down, but when it all came down; the hair knocked her down again with the force. Elaine gathered up her hair and went to Jesse. He was still sitting under the tree moaning. He had a cut on his cheek, but other than that he looked okay. Elaine grabbed his arms and pulled him up.
"You'll be fine. C’mon. Let’s get Jenna." Elaine told him. Together they walked over to Jenna who was awake. But her arm didn't look too good. It was red and bent in the wrong angle.
"My arm isn't supposed to look like this is it?" She asked. Elaine and Jesse shook their heads. With a grunt, Jesse lifted Jenna by her hips and put her over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes.
" Hey," Jenna protested. "I'm fine I can walk."
" Fine. But it was your choice not mine." Jesse set Jena down and second later Jenna’s knees buckled and she said, "Okay, maybe a little help will work. And Jesse again hefted her onto his shoulders and started walking until Elaine cried, "Wait!" Jesse stopped walking and turned around to look at Elva.
" Vhadia. We can't leave without Vhadia." And before Jesse or Jenna could say or do any thing, Elaine was gone in a flash. Elaine found Vhadia, her waist caught in two branches and her legs were wrapped around a twisted branch way above her head, and Her arms were hanging limply near her head.
"Vhadia!!!" Elaine called. "Vhadia!!!" Elaine climbed up the tree until she got to where Vhadia was hanging. Elaine grabbed her by the arm and dragged her down. It took all of Elva's strength to keep Vhadia upright when she got to the bottom.
" Help! Jesse!! Come!!!" Elaine called out. No answer.
"Dang it." Elaine muttered. She ran around until she came to a stream. It's clear water slithered through the forest like a snake. Elaine quickly made a cup out of some dry old wood and filled it with water. She ran back careful not to spill any water on the way and then dumped the whole cup of water on Vhadia's head. Vhadia jolted awake. But screaming.
"Flying." She mumbled, "I was flying! But then I was falling. Elaine what happened?"
"It's okay," Elaine reassured her. "You just had a little accident. You're fine. Can you walk?" Vhadia got up and wobbled a bit. Then, Suddenly,
"Elaine!" Vhadia screamed as she went toppling over. But there was no where to fall, as far as Elaine could see, but when Vhadia disappeared, Elaine ran as fast as she could to where Jesse and Jenna still were.
"Jesse!! Jenna!! Help! Come quick!" After Elaine told Jenna and Jesse what had happened, Jesse threw Jenna onto the ground (Which Jenna didn’t look to happy about) and ran off with Elaine to where Vhadia had disappeared. When Jesse saw what had happened, he laughed.
"Haha. She just fell into a ditch. It's fine!" Jesse reached his hand down the ditch and helped Vhadia up and out of the ditch. Just then, Jesse got a great idea. " Hey! How 'bout we go into town and... realafy you guys." Jenna, Vhadia and Elaine all nodded. Jesse grinned. " Well, come on then!" And they all followed Jesse to the town, or what they thought would be the town.

Chapter Five: Funky town


As Vhadia, Elaine, Jenna, and Jesse were walking towards town, Jesse had been telling then little things about it. Things like this, " So, this town isn't called town. It's called 'Funky town'. Named by the skater duds. The skater duds are like, the coolest people in town. They skate board, and the thing they're famous for is their singing." Vhadia liked that one. So, three hours later, they got to town. Jenna, Elaine, Vhadia and Jesse were sitting in a weird house type of thing, discussing what they each were going to do to realafy themselves. Jesse helped them by telling them all the things that were going on.
"Well, there's a marathon coming up," Jesse offered. Elaine raised her hand and said, " Oh! Oh! I want to do that one! I love to run, and I'm very fast!" Jenna and Vhadia both nodded in agreement. Jesse, who had been reading from a newspaper, signed her up uncertainly. He flipped the page of the newspaper.
"The skater duds need a girl who can skate and sing." Jesse told them. To Jesse, Jenna, and Elaine's surprise, Vhadia raised her hand. Everyone but Vhadia looked uncertain. Jesse piped up. "Are-are you sure Vhadia? The skater duds... sing. In front of people. And you don't even talk." Vhadia looked hurt. Jesse held up his hands in apoligy and said, "Oh, no-no offence. Hehe. Um, back to realafying you, so, Jenna do you want to join a cooking group?" Jenna made a face. "No thanks." Jesse turned the page.

I’m 13 years old and my psychotic baby sitter is telling me that I’m going to be a Goddess in 5 years. But I’ll tell you more about that later in my story. By the way, my name is Willa Iona Toledo. And I’m not a wit, even though my initials say so. So I guess that I am sort of a Wit. Oh, and if you want, you can call me names of trees. All my friends do. Well, they would if I had any. So technically only my mom does. She calls me ‘Willo tree,’ and sometimes (Really embarrassingly, sometimes,) she calls me ‘Sapling.’ Everyone at school calls me Witty. Sometimes I am, and sometimes I like it. Except when that mean snobby popular Ariana comes along and calls me Witchy. Do you want to know what she says every time? “Oh, hey there Witchy! Oops, I’m sorry, Twit.” And then she hits me accidentally. Well, enough about me. What about you? Nothing? Aww. Okay, back to me. So, my Mom says that when she looks into the mirror with me there, she sees a ‘strong and confident young lady.’ When I look into a mirror, all I see is me. I have wavy reddish blonde hair. I know you’re probably thinking strawberry blonde, but no. Sometimes my hair is red, (usually) and sometimes my hair is blonde (usually not). I have different colored eyes, depending on what mood I’m in. I have pale skin, with freckles on my nose. For some reason, my fingernails are silver. My Mom made up this weird excuse about how ‘at night she comes into my room and paints my nails permanently.’ How lame is that? Well, you probably want me to get on with the story. Well, here is the story of the wacky 5 years of my life.
~ Willa
P.S. don’t worry, I’m working on my handwriting.









CHAPTER
1 (for real now)
I Get The News.

“AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!”
Okay, let’s rewind to the part where my baby sitter turns into a monster.
“Willa! Time for lunch!” my baby sitter called. Meanwhile, I was busy rocking out in my room. I was bouncing and flipping on my bunk bed, singing/screaming along to Fake Tales From San Francisco By the Arctic Monkeys. MY FAVORITE BAND! I froze and stopped dancing when my favorite line came on: “And proves that Love’s not only blind but deaf.” Then, after the song ended, Dynamite by Tao Cruz came on.
“I came to dance, dance, dance…
I hit the floor ‘cause that’s my plans, plans, plans…
I’m wearing all my favorite brands, brands, brands…
You give me space for both my hands, hands, hands…
You, you, ‘cause it goes on, and on, and on…
And it goes on and on, and on…
YEAH!
I throw my hands up in the air sometimes,
Saying AYO gotta let go!
I wanna celebrate and live my life,
Saying AYO baby, let’s go!
‘Cause we gon’ rock this club, Wee gon’ go all night,
We gon’ light it up, like it’s
DYNAMITE!!!!”
Just then, my babysitter, Norah, walked into my room just as the part ‘I throw my hands up in the air sometimes’ came on, and I threw my hands into the air, and, with Norah being so tall as she is, I smacked her right in the face. Then she was all like, OW! And I thought that grown-ups were supposed to be strong! But Norah crumpled like a coke can sinking to the very pressure sensitive part of an ocean or sea. That was another thing about me. I read, so at random times, I’ll blurt out a fact about this thing, and that. I flipped down onto the ground and leaned over Norah. She glared at me and I told her, “Ya’ know, you should’ve looked at the sign on my shut door.” I smirked. But it was true. I looked at my open door and saw the sign. This is what it looked like.
Do
NOT Enter!!!
OR ELSE!
Maybe she was going blind or something. With a grunt, I grabbed her hand and pulled, or tried, to pull a grumpy Norah up. Suddenly, Norah turned red. And not from embarrassment. Her eyes went red, and her skin. Her hair turned to flames, and Norah’s usually sunny and flowery dress was now a tight orange body suit. She held a big pink pitchfork and she had a tail.
“AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!” I screamed. I tried to run out of my room, call the police and go along with my normal life, but when I took a step, searing hot pain shot through my right foot. A whip of fire tied me to my bedpost. I was stuck. I didn’t try to move after the first couple times that I’d tried and had almost burned my stomach off. I know I should’ve been sweet and polite, but with Norah’s new… look, I couldn’t help it.
“ Are you a Zombie Devil or something?” I blurted unnecessarily. Norah looked hurt, but with her weird pinched-to-the-bone-face, it looked kind of demented.
“I’m no Zombie no Devil. I’m an Aquanethai! The gelomes made up those mythical creatures off of US! Before they came along, we Aquanethai were the strongest, the most powerful in the whole Bivivena!”
“O-kay. LET ME OUT!!!” I demanded. Norah the Aquanethai just smirked at me. I struggled more.
“Give up daughter of dawn. You can never break out of my bonds.” The Aquanethai’s voice turned back to Norah’s cheerful, and always-forgiving voice. “Now Willa. In 5 years you will become a goddess. But if you ever live through this, you’ll probably die on the way to it. Now, in a little bit your mom is going to come home. I’ll save her for desert. But she can’t come home with out a meal can she? Now, It’s time for lunch!”
“Never!” I yelled at her. It sounded braver than I felt. The Aquanethai lunged at me. I screamed. The monster exploded into flames a couple seconds after she hit me. The last thing I remembered before passing out, was my whole house on fire, my Mom screaming, and my body searing with pain.

Chapter
2
I move out

I woke up in an ambulance. The nice lady with me said that my whole house had burned down. She didn’t know ho I had lived, but my Mom hadn’t. I lay there, silent tears rolling down my cheeks and onto my shirt. The lady with me told me she was sorry. But sorry wasn’t enough to bring back my mother. Ten she told me that my Uncle would be taking me from the Hospital. I asked her why I was going to the Hospital. She gave me a weird look, then pointed towards my foot. My foot was burned really very badly. And it was bleeding. But, the weird thing was, I didn’t feel it at all. Right now, all I felt was sadness. But at the same time, I felt hopeful. Hopeful that some how, I’d be able to see my Mom again. Even for a short while.
When we got to the Hospital, I had to sit in a waiting room for about 15 minutes, until I made myself look in pain, and the waiting lady saw my foot. But waiting in Hospitals are scary. I saw one girl around the age of 6 or 7 with a bubbly stomach. Later on I found out that her appendix had burst. What is an Appendix anyway? Then there was a boy who would’ve been cute if he had 2 eyes! Enough about that. So, the doctor took my into his office, and after screaming a lot, started to clean off my leg, which is now hurting like *** thank you very much, so now it was my turn to start screaming. Then he rapped it and gave me crutches. I know. Really disappointing right? Well, just as the lady in the ambulance had said, (remember her) my Uncle showed up. I couldn’t see his face, which was covered up by a big black hood. He walked over to me and grabbed my shoulder. I saw a glimpse of his face. For the second that I saw only 1 eye. In a harsh voice, almost a whisper, he said, “I’ll explain later. Come on.” He

Adam and Eve, a dialogue - November 2010

My Adam and Eve dialogue
In the east in Eden Two creatures of man were walking around the knew earth. What I mean by the new earth means that when the world was so new and all, thy self would be walking on new earth too. Then the lady and the man saw each other.
"Thou art my love," The woman, Eve, said when she and the man ad got to know each other. Eve continued, "Doth not thou want to marry me? Adam? Yoo-hoo? Is thou in this world any more?" Eve knocked on Adam's head a couple times before he said, "What did thou say? I think I heard some thing about darth Vader and thous or some thing. Am I right?"
"NO!"
"Hey doth not hit me!" Adam yelled at Eve.
"So, when's is the wedding going to be?" Eve continued like nothing had happened.
"Um... the third day of today?"
"Sure." Eve said. Three days later God made every thing full bloomed, blossomed and beautiful. After the wedding, a Serpent came up to Eve and said, "Congratulations. So, are you hungry? Because, there's a tree over there with delicious looking fruit on it. How about thou go's and get Adam and tell him to come with you and eat those delicious fruit." Eve went and got Adam. When Adam and Eve got to the tree of knowledge, Adam said, "O, I'm sorry Eve but I can't eat from this tree. God forbid me to. I'm sorry, but I can't eat it and neither can thou."
"But Adam, we have too eat the apples. They're golden and juicy, they can make us seem better than God himself. What does thou think of that?" Eve gave Adam big sad eyes.
Like a small dogs' eyes.
"I mean," Eve continued thou art the apple of my eye. And I would be sad if I ate the Apple alone." Eve made a pouty face at Adam. Adam couldn't stand it.
"Fine." He said. And so Eve climbed up the tree of knowledge and passed the first apple she picked down to Adam. Then Eve picked another apple and told Adam, "This one's mine, so don't eat it." Adam nodded. Eve climbed back down from the tree of knowledge. When Adam and Eve took three bites of the apples, they suddenly became aware of their nakedness. And so Adam and Eve found leaves from which they sew together and covered themselves with. Then, with their new leaf cloths, Adam and Eve used their new clothes as disguises and they hid behind bushes. Then God came to them and said, "Adam, yoohoo? Where are you? Helllo? Any one home?"
" Thank you." Eve muttered. She thought God just proved that it was hard to get Adam in the world. Adam called out, "God! I'm over here!"
"Adam!"
"That's my name!"
"Why are you hiding?" God asked Adam.
" Hiding? Pfft. Hiding from God? Who would do that?" Adam lied. God said, "Um... You?"
"Me?"
"Yes. Art thou deft or some thing?"
"No. I'm simply discussing an invention that I want you do make wit my lovely yet scary wife Eve. It's called," Adam spread his arms out in front of him and said, "It's called, um honey what did I say before? Oh, what ever. Um... a book. Yeah, that's right. It's called a book. It has pages made out of trees and words made out of... ink. Oh and, and you can get information out of it. Oh, and stories. Stories are good." God said.
"Adam, I know thou and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge. But that book idea was good. I'll think about that. But now

A Dialogue - Oct 2010

Noa Sheidlower
October 16th 2010

Once upon a time, when the world was so new and all, down after the northern desert, deep in the great grey-green greasy Limpopo river all set about with fever trees, there was a Baboon. He was sitting in a tree. Down at the bottom of the tree, staring up at the Baboon was a Djinn. The Djinn was the Djinn of the deserts, so his mood was not very great in the great grey-green greasy Limpopo river all set about with fever trees. As you can tell.
"Come here you jungle bum!"
"Come up and get me yourself you desert worm!"
"Well, I'm smarter than you because I know there aren't any worms in the desert! Ha!"
"Are not!"
"Are too!"
And they went back and forth like that for hours but I/ they are not telling you that, O' my good friend, because it would take to long and by the time that they are finished, I,O' my good friend, will be asleep. And so the Djinn did what the Baboon said.
"Fine. All right, I will."
"Good. I can't wait to see you fall!"
"I won't fall you over sized sock-puppet!"
"Oh yeah? Then prove it!"
"Yeah, then I will!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Okay, then do it!"
"All right I will!"
Just then, O' my good friend, a Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake slithered past the tree, rolling his eyes and saying,
"Oh. Such rambunctious children."
"Hey!" Protested the Djinn and the Baboon as one. The snake just slithered away. The Baboon and the Djinn kept on fighting.
"DO IT!"
"Jeez! Fine! I'll do it! Don't need to be soo pushy, pushy!"
And so the Djinn grabbed on to a branch and pulled himself up. The Djinn really was an awful climber when it comes to trees. But he got fairly far, when he slipped and grabbed on to the Baboon's tail.
"Hey!! What are you doing?! Let go! That hurts!"
"Sorry! HHEELLPP!!!!!!"
"Uh-uh. Now LET GO!!!"
"No I can't! Do you want me to fall and die?!"
"..... Yes."
"Hey! I #@te you!"
"I know. You should."
"What?!"
" Oh never mind!"
And just then, O' my good Friend, a magical flood started up and began to flow towards the Limpopo Fever Tree that the baboon and the Djinn were in, and the magical flood started to rise to a great and a terribly terrifying height The Baboon realized this he was about to tell the Djinn to be careful because of the flood, but then he remembered what he had said to the Djinn and stayed quiet.
"Hey! What is that wet stuff? Ha ha! It tickles! Wait a minute. Jungle, Limpopo river, High tide....... there's a magical flood!!!! Wow! I'm smart! Wait another minute.... HELP! HELP!! HELP!!! HHHHEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The Baboon rolled his eyes but reached down and grabbed the Djinn by his arm and pulled.
"Ooohhh! you're heavy!! what have you been eating?!"
"Sun onions, sand ice cream, salt water lemonade and snake scales."
"Oh gross!"
"Hey! Don't drop me!"
"Well sor-ry!"
"HEY! If you're sorry, then hold me! ......wait. that sounded wrong."
"Yeah. you're right my friend."
"Ha ha! I'm not your friend! ............... Or am I?"
"I dunno. You might be."
"Am I or am I not your friend?!"
"Um..... Do you want to be friends? Or not?"
"Um..... I don't know.? Do you want to be my friend?"
"Do you want to be my friend?"
" Do you want to be my friend?"
"Okay. If we continue doing this 'do you want to be my friend?' thing we'll never know if we're going to be or are already friends or not!"
"You have a point. Are you my friend?"
" ....................... Yes. I guess so. are you my friend or not?"
" ....................... Yes a guess so."
" Okay. Now that we've declared our friendship...... are you going to help get me up this tree or not?!"
" Oh, right! Sorry!!"
" Oofff!!! Maybe a bit gentler or softer next time?!"
" Sorry."
" 's okay. Oh and by the way. Thanks. you are a very strong monkey. I- I mean Baboon."
"Your welcome, and thank you. I think."
" Well, the flood went down. I think I'm going to go home to my peaceful yet wild and crazy desert. 'Bye and big time phileo!"
" 'Bye and big time phileo to you too."
And with some help from the Baboon, O' my good friend, the Djinn was climbing down from the tree and went off with a couple of waves from the hands and the Djinn went on his way home to his very own (and by "own," O' my good friend, I mean he is the Djinn of all of the deserts, so he technically "owns it.) peaceful yet wild and crazy home in the middle of the desert, where he can lie down in his sand hut and go right to sleep for all eternity, or just until he is called again or until he can schedule another what the lazy Camel calls a play- date, with his new friend the Baboon. And now, O' my good friend, I now have to lay myself down for my own sleep- filled nap, and who knows? I just might get a nice little visit from the dream god Morpheus!



Big time Phileo! Love NOA!!!!!!!;)

Rapunzel - October 2010

Rupunzel

The girl who lived in a grand villa with ma,
The girl whose red, red hair was 50 feet off.
Now she lived in a tree up high,
And she now wonders,
“Now who am I?”
The girl who has long nails to bite,
But the tree,
Oh the tree!
The tree oh goodness me!
The tree rose up at a wondrous height!
The tree that held the girl with the hair,
That young lady with the hair,
The red, red hair that was 50 feet off!
And which way,
Which way off, will you say?
Oh you need to meet this girl,
This wondrous girl with the red, red hair,
The wondrous red, red hair the color of cherries,
The hair that was 50 feet off!
The girl who single haired,
Came out of this tree,
This great big tree,
And landed in the swamp!
That great green swamp,
The swamp the color of the Moon,
The girl will recover soon.
She walked back to the grand villa,
To see her ma she saw,
But she didn’t see her pa,
But don’t you worry,
For she never saw her pa.
Her pa was out somewhere in Florida.
She walked up to her ma,
And called to her ma,
That she had betrayed her,
By locking her up in the tree,
The great big tree, the tree that stood over the swamp,
And She took her might hair,
The red, red hair that was 50 feet off,
And- I am sorry, this should not be said aloud.

The Cat Queens - August 2010

The Cat Queens
By Noa Sheidlower and Flora Sabrino


AN INTRODUCTIAN
There were 2 girls named Fiona and Nina. They were very good friends. A bit of a back round story now. Fiona and Nina’s Parents left them at an orphanage. Back to what I was saying before. They were such good friends, that the 2 girls ran away from their orphanage, found a house, and moved in. They put all the stuff that they loved and had always wanted in the house. Since it was a 2 floor round house, they put monkey bars all around, and rings. And in the living room, there was a trampoline instead of a couch. Instead of stairs, they put a climbing rope. And they got insanely strong rope, insanely strong wood, and made a box that they could sit in so they could pull themselves up. In the dining room, there was a GIANT swing with chairs attached to the sides, and special holders for the plates and cups instead of a table. And everywhere, there were Cats.

CHAPTER 1
Tommy
“Fiona! Will you come help me?” Nina called. Fiona monkey-bared towards her. When Fiona got there she asked, “Yeah? What do you need help with?” Nina pointed at something above her. “ Tommy’s stuck.” And it was true. Their European Shorthair cat Tommy Was stuck on the rings, and was clinging on to them with his claws. It should’ve been easy for Nina to get him down

Most Recent: Hermione and the Missing Library Book

by Noa Sheidlower

chapter 1:At Tink’s house

Hermione zoomed into the Library.

I have to find a book about wood! Hermione was in such a rush, that she was practically ripping up shelves of books. 5 minutes later, Hemione was exhausted. So she gave up and went to the front of the Library, to ask her friends Will and Willa twin Library fairies if they can help her find a book about wood. So she asked them if they could help her find the book she needs to find. There is one weird thing about Will and Willa, they almost always say everything at the same time. So at the same time, Will and Willa said, “Sorry, we just lent out the last one to Tinkerbell.” Hermione drooped as she walked not even bothering to fly out of the Library. After dinner, there was a storm so every Fairy and Sparrow man went together to see a movie. It was a bit squishy with everyone in there like Will and Willa, Josie, Tom, Jerry, Zoe, Jesse and Jessie, Harry, Ron, Luna, Neville, Sophie, Dink, and TinkerBell. But that was only some of the Fairies and Sparrow men.

Luckily. Then a Fairy named Ginger screamed as lightening flashed across a big window and thunder boomed and Pixie Hollow shook, and the smell of burnt popcorn filled the air. And screams could be heard far away from the home tree.

The next morning, TinkerBell, Bella, Grace, Jordon, and even Prella and some other Pots and Pans or Building Fairy or Sparrow man helped fix Pixie Hollow. Lily fixed her garden, Rani and Ivy cleaned the water, Will and Willa fixed up the library, Peater collected eggs, Timmy and Jane led the butterflies, Jesse and Jessie picked flowers, and Maisie and Ella and Elizabeth and much more cleaning fairies helped clean Pixie Hollow.

It took a month and 5 weeks to fix Pixie Hollow.

The next morning at breakfast, the new tearoom was amazing everyone was talking about it. Dulcie, Dunkkin, Mixie, Dinah, Poppy, Lucy, Bob, Ace, and some other baking or cooking talent Fairy or Sparrow man made the most delicious breakfast they have ever made. Everyone thought it was the best day ever! Queen Clarion opened a big window and let butterflies come in. “BASIL!!!” Mistee called. ”PASSTHEBUTTERPLEAS!!!”

Mistee sat at the other end of the table so she had to scream really loud. Brandee was talking with Cole, and Spyro about today’s breakfast. Poppy was enjoying a poppy puff roll with grape jelly. Everyone was so happy, even Vidia smiled. Queen Clarion served herself a slice of carrot cake. Jane, a flower picking Fairy, was talking with Jesse and Jessie about the new tea room.
After breakfast, Lily was moving her finger around making soil come out of her finger. Prella appeared overhead, and was about to sit but Lily screamed “Don’t Sit There!” Prella popped back up.” Why Not?!” Prella asked, scared. “There is a new rose growing there!” Lily screamed. “Sorry, Sorry!” Prella said and flew off. Hermione went into the library to ask Will and Willa if Tink had returned the book about wood yet. They shook their heads and said, “no.” “Sorry, Hermione.” Still Hermione searched the library. She looked threw shelves of books, searching here and there and everywhere.

When she was looking threw the 10nth section, she bumped into Neville, and they both fell down.

“OH MY GOSH!!!” Neville yelled. ”I AM SO SORRY!!!” Hermione yelled. Its O.K. Neville said. ”What’s your name?” Neville asked holding out a hand to help her up.” My name is Hermione Granger. You can call me Hermione.” she said. ”What’s YOUR name?” Hermione asked. “My name is Neville Longbottom.” he said. Well, sorry for bumping in to you. ”By!” said Neville. ”Bye!” Called Hermione and walked away. I WISH I COULD GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER! Hermione thought to herself and kept searching. She kept searching for another hour, and left the library to have lunch because she was hungry from all that searching. And maybe she could find Neville again. It was a good lunch, just like breakfast.

Hermione sat at the library Fairy{or Sparrow man} table. There were not a lot of library Fairy or Sparrow men like for instance, Hermione of course, Will and Willa, Molly, Zoe, Ben, Jerry, Tom, Charley, Arthur, Basil, Mistee, Joe, Sillvie, Franses and Fransine. And maybe some others. Hermione could not find Neville because Neville was an egg collecting Sparrow man. And he couldn’t hear her calling his name because he was talking with Peater, Ace, Cole, and Spyro. Prella ate a bagel with cream cheese.

Molly ate an apple and found a worm in it. And when she found the worm she screamed, fell off her chair, and started to cry. Then queen Clarion rushed over and said “Molly what happened?!” Whimpering, Molly said “I found a worm in my apple!” Molly said still on the ground. Minxe, a hospital Fairy rushed over to Molly.” Luna! Viv!” Minxe shouted. “quick! come here!” Luna and Viv came rushing over.” What happened?” Viv asked. It’s Molly! Luna and Viv looked down. There lay Molly staring back up at them. Minxe, Luna, Viv, and then Lila came over and Minxe told Lila and Luna to each take one arm, and for Viv and herself to take a leg. They lifted Molly up and brought her to the hospital, because apparently, Molly ate the worm. and everyone went back to having lunch. Neville ate a Pickle Cheese sandwich. Phoebe took a bite of a big carrot. After lunch, Winter, a weather Fairy went up to her room and leaned out the window. The sky got cloudy, so quickly, Winter jumped out the window and quickly flew over to ware May and Summer where standing and talking. She told them what she had saw. Summer flew over to tell April, while May told June, and Winter told Autumn. Winter, Summer, April, June, Autumn, and May flew over to Winter’s house and they all waved their hands in an ‘O’ shape, and the dark clouds moved away, and it became sunny again. Meanwhile, Hermione goes over to Tink’s house where she said she was going to be. And when she gets there, Tinker Bell’s house was a mess! There was a broken mirror, there where broken pots and pans on the floor, clothes where everywhere, shoes where popping out of her closet, and one of Tink’s slippers fell from the ceiling and almost hit Hermione on her head.” Sorry,” Tink said “Tinker Bell! Where are you?!” Hermione stepped forward, but tripped on a hammer.” Sorry,” Tinker Bell said again. "Oh and by the way I’m up here. ”Tinker Bell said. When Hermione looked up, she saw Tink spinning on her fan! “HI! HOW DID YOU FIND ME?!!!” Tinker Bell screamed, ”YOU SAID AT LUNCH YOU WOULD BE HERE!!!” Hermione screamed back. ”HELP!!! I’M STUCK!!! GET ME DOWN!!!” Tink screamed. “O.K.!!! O.K.!!! I’LL TRY TO GET YOU DOWN!!!” Hermione screamed. Hermione flew up to see what was making Tinker Bell stuck. She saw that Tinker Bell’s wing was caught on the fan, but she was not hanging, she was in a crawling position. So, carefully, Hermione unattached Tinker Bell’s wing. And then she helped Tinker Bell get down because Tinker Bell now had an extremely big hole in her wing. Now Hermione carried Tinker Bell to the hospital, because TinkerBell was too scared to walk.

While they walked, Hermione asked “when are you planning on bringing back the book?” “Well… I remember I put it on my dresser but then I went to lunch you see, and then when I got back it was not there and that’s why my house is such mess.” Explained TinkerBell. ”Yeah, well, I think we should call some cleaning Fairies to come to your house, ”Hermione said, still carrying TinkerBell.

chapter 2:Wheres the book?

When Tink got too the hospetal,Hermione went home to go to bed.
The next morning at breakfast Hermione woke up too late! Breakfast was almost over! When Hermione woke up she glanced at her clock and found out that it was
9:30 she almost fell out of bed she was so startled. Hermione quickly put on her clothes and dashed to the tea room. When she got there Fairys and Sparrow men where already clearing out of the tea room. Hermione had missed breakfast.

Hermione was so disappointed for Hermione was very hungry.

Hermione walked out slowly while other farys and sparrow men flew happily past her. Winny a cleaning talent fary stopped in front of her. “WEEOOOWEEEOOOWEEEOOOWEEEOOO!!!!!!” Shouted Winny.”POOH! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY COME QUICK!!”She screamed. Winny was one of those farys who always make you smile. then out of nowhere Pooh popped out next to Winny. “What is it constable Winny?” asked Pooh. Winny and Pooh were always playing police. “this girl has a frown on her face. we should sweep off this frown and poof up a huge grin!” Said Winny. Hermione started laughing. “AHA!SHE’S LAUGHING!” Squeeled Winny snapping her fingers. PIP! “POOH! I SNAPPED! And they went off talking and laughing. But before they went, they herd...”LOOK OUT!!!” And there,a short blond-haired fairy with a navy blue dress and greenish blue shoes was in front of them about to hit them! And at the same time they all screamed.” AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!” And the fairy bumped into them and they all fell into a heap on the ground. “Get off me Pipi” Hermione said. “Sorry Hermione.”Pipi said. “What in Pixie Hollow are you doing?” Pooh asked. “Training,”Pipi answered. “Training for what?” Asked Winny. “Training for the big race of course, didn’t you get the letter? any fairy or sparrow man can join if they want to.” Explained Pipi. “I didn’t get it,” Hermione said. “Me neither,” Said Pooh. “I didn’t get one but I’ll check my mailbox.” Winny said. By then they all got off each other because if they didn’t that would probably hurt a lot. then Hermione,Winny,Pooh,and Pipi went home. When Pipi went home she started doing jumping-jacks. When Winny went Home she checked her mailbox then took a nap. When Pooh got home he checked his mailbox and then read a book. When Hermione got home she checked her mailbox and opened her mail,she got three letters.

The first one said:
Dear Hermione, In 2 weeks I will be getting you out of the hospetal. I cant wait to see you. I heard about the big race. can you check my mailbox for me? When I get out of the hospetal do you want to have some tea with me? I hope we can because Dinah taught me how to make blueberry hot coco.

Hermione laughing. She liked this letter and that that letter was funny. Then she opened the second letter.

Hermione and the Missing Library Book by Noa

Hermione and the Missing Library Book
By Noa Sheidlower

Hermione zoomed into the Library.
I have to find a book about wood! Hermione was in such a rush, that she was practically ripping up shelves of books. 5 minutes later, Hemione was exhausted. So she gave up and went to the front of the Library, to ask her friends Will and Willa twin Library fairies if they can help her find a book about wood. So she asked them if they could help her find the book she needs to find. There is one weird thing about Will and Willa, they almost always say everything at the same time. So at the same time, Will and Willa said, “Sorry, we just lent out the last one to Tinkerbell.” Hermione drooped as she walked not even bothering to fly out of the Library. After dinner, there was a storm so every Fairy and Sparrow man went together to see a movie. It was a bit squishy with everyone in there like Will and Willa, Josie, Tom, Jerry, Zoe, Jesse and Jessie, Harry, Ron, Luna, Neville, Sophie, Dink, and TinkerBell. But that was only some of the Fairies and Sparrow men.
Luckily. Then a Fairy named Ginger screamed as lightening flashed across a big window and thunder boomed and Pixie Hollow shook, and the smell of burnt popcorn filled the air. And screams could be heard far away from the home tree.
The next morning, TinkerBell, Bella, Grace, Jordon, and even Prella and some other Pots and Pans or Building Fairy or Sparrow man helped fix Pixie Hollow. Lily fixed her garden, Rani and Ivy cleaned the water, Will and Willa fixed up the library, Peater collected eggs, Timmy and Jane led the butterflies, Jesse and Jessie picked flowers, and Maisie and Ella and Elizabeth and much more cleaning fairies helped clean Pixie Hollow.
It took a month and 5 weeks to fix Pixie Hollow.
The next morning at breakfast, the new tearoom was amazing everyone was talking about it. Dulcie, Dunkkin, Mixie, Dinah, Poppy, Lucy, Bob, Ace, and some other baking or cooking talent Fairy or Sparrow man made the most delicious breakfast they have ever made. Everyone thought it was the best day ever! Queen Clarion opened a big window and let butterflies come in. “BASIL!!!” Mistee called. ”PASSTHEBUTTERPLEAS!!!”
Mistee sat at the other end of the table so she had to scream really loud. Brandee was talking with Cole, and Spyro about today’s breakfast. Poppy was enjoying a poppy puff roll with grape jelly. Everyone was so happy, even Vidia smiled. Queen Clarion served herself a slice of carrot cake. Jane, a flower picking Fairy, was talking with Jesse and Jessie about the new tea room.
After breakfast, Lily was moving her finger around making soil come out of her finger. Prella appeared overhead, and was about to sit but Lily screamed “Don’t Sit There!” Prella popped back up.” Why Not?!” Prella asked, scared. “There is a new rose growing there!” Lily screamed. “Sorry, Sorry!” Prella said and flew off. Hermione went into the library to ask Will and Willa if Tink had returned the book about wood yet. They shook their heads and said, “no.” “Sorry, Hermione.” Still Hermione searched the library. She looked threw shelves of books, searching here and there and everywhere.
When she was looking threw the 10nth section, she bumped into Neville, and they both fell down.
“OH MY GOSH!!!” Neville yelled. ”I AM SO SORRY!!!” Hermione yelled. Its O.K. Neville said. ”What’s your name?” Neville asked holding out a hand to help her up.” My name is Hermione Granger. You can call me Hermione.” she said. ”What’s YOUR name?” Hermione asked. “My name is Neville Longbottom.” he said. Well, sorry for bumping in to you. ”By!” said Neville. ”Bye!” Called Hermione and walked away. I WISH I COULD GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER! Hermione thought to herself and kept searching. She kept searching for another hour, and left the library to have lunch because she was hungry from all that searching. And maybe she could find Neville again. It was a good lunch, just like breakfast.

Hermione sat at the library Fairy{or Sparrow man} table. There were not a lot of library Fairy or Sparrow men like for instance, Hermione of course, Will and Willa, Molly, Zoe, Ben, Jerry, Tom, Charley, Arthur, Basil, Mistee, Joe, Sillvie, Franses and Fransine. And maybe some others. Hermione could not find Neville because Neville was an egg collecting Sparrow man. And he couldn’t hear her calling his name because he was talking with Peater, Ace, Cole, and Spyro. Prella ate a bagel with cream cheese.
Molly ate an apple and found a worm in it. And when she found the worm she screamed, fell off her chair, and started to cry. Then queen Clarion rushed over and said “Molly what happened?!” Whimpering, Molly said “I found a worm in my apple!” Molly said still on the ground. Minxe, a hospital Fairy rushed over to Molly.” Luna! Viv!” Minxe shouted. “quick! come here!” Luna and Viv came rushing over.” What happened?” Viv asked. It’s Molly! Luna and Viv looked down. There lay Molly staring back up at them. Minxe, Luna, Viv, and then Lila came over and Minxe told Lila and Luna to each take one arm, and for Viv and herself to take a leg. They lifted Molly up and brought her to the hospital, because apparently, Molly ate the worm. and everyone went back to having lunch. Neville ate a Pickle Cheese sandwich. Phoebe took a bite of a big carrot. After lunch, Winter, a weather Fairy went up to her room and leaned out the window. The sky got cloudy, so quickly, Winter jumped out the window and quickly flew over to ware May and Summer where standing and talking. She told them what she had saw. Summer flew over to tell April, while May told June, and Winter told Autumn. Winter, Summer, April, June, Autumn, and May flew over to Winter’s house and they all waved their hands in an ‘O’ shape, and the dark clouds moved away, and it became sunny again. Meanwhile, Hermione goes over to Tink’s house where she said she was going to be. And when she gets there, Tinker Bell’s house was a mess! There was a broken mirror, there where broken pots and pans on the floor, clothes where everywhere, shoes where popping out of her closet, and one of Tink’s slippers fell from the ceiling and almost hit Hermione on her head.” Sorry,” Tink said “Tinker Bell! Where are you?!” Hermione stepped forward, but tripped on a hammer.” Sorry,” Tinker Bell said again. "Oh and by the way I’m up here. ”Tinker Bell said. When Hermione looked up, she saw Tink spinning on her fan! “HI! HOW DID YOU FIND ME?!!!” Tinker Bell screamed, ”YOU SAID AT LUNCH YOU WOULD BE HERE!!!” Hermione screamed back. ”HELP!!! I’M STUCK!!! GET ME DOWN!!!” Tink screamed. “O.K.!!! O.K.!!! I’LL TRY TO GET YOU DOWN!!!” Hermione screamed. Hermione flew up to see what was making Tinker Bell stuck. She saw that Tinker Bell’s wing was caught on the fan, but she was not hanging, she was in a crawling position. So, carefully, Hermione unattached Tinker Bell’s wing. And then she helped Tinker Bell get down because Tinker Bell now had an extremely big hole in her wing. Now Hermione carried Tinker Bell to the hospital, because TinkerBell was too scared to walk.

While they walked, Hermione asked “when are you planning on bringing back the book?” “ Well… I remember I put it on my dresser but then I went to lunch you see, and then when I got back it was not there and that’s why my house is such mess.” Explained TinkerBell. ”Yeah, well, I think we should call some cleaning Fairies to come to your house, ”Hermione said, still carrying TinkerBell.
