- An angry gym teacher
- Wants to build a catapult (to launch slow-moving students)
- But his principal won't let him

Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there was a beautiful little elementary school called Ashmere Cavenue. It was a school filled with happiness and learning, and the students and teachers got along really well with each other. Well, almost all the students and teachers. There was one teacher who just didn't seem to get along with the students and other staff members. He was a very grumpy, very angry, and very smelly teacher. His name was Mr. Heraldo, and he taught gym to Grade 3 and 4 students. No one knew why he was always so angry; was it because he'd been hit in the head too many times in dodgeball? Was it because he was losing all his hair on top of his head already (and was beginning to look like a big, human pear)? Was it because of all the good treats had already been eaten from the staff room by the time he finally made it over there for lunch? No one knew. However, one split 3/4 class did know that he was up to something positively nefarious. One day (when trying to avoid his bad breath by staying as far away as possible from him) they saw some plans left on a chair. They were plans for a catapult, and even worse, they were labeled as 'PLANS FOR STUDENT CATAPULT - SPEEDING UP WASHROOM TRIPS WITH STUDENT-HATING STYLE'.

Oh no! What to do? The kids were very worried. They immediately told their amazing principal Ms. Hoble. Ms. Hoble was loved by all the students, and was known to be very kind and fair. She immediately walked into Mr. Heraldo's gym, and told him that launching students through any method ranging from good old-fashioned throwing to a massive catapult was not allowed. Mr. Heraldo muttered under his breath some, but tried to knock over the chair with his dastardly student-launching catapult plans on them. He was trying to hide the evidence! This grade 3/4 class was very perceptive though, and immediately caught on to what he was trying to do. They pointed it out to Ms. Hoble, and she grabbed the plans! Now Mr. Heraldo had to apologize and promise to never, ever build a student-launching catapult.

He did, but just in case, Ms. Hoble had all building materials kept far from his gym from that day forward.

Finally, spike decided to give one more try, live on one more planet. However, the very grumpy alligator named Gregory had other plans. He wiped long and pointy tail up into the air and knocked the UFO down onto the ground. Spike began to cry wondering if he could ever get somewhere he could call home. However Gregory was not affected by this at all, in fact, he began to laugh. Suddenly Spike, stopped crying but why? Spike had realized that he was going to make it he just had to find a different way. He went to the dump and collected every piece of metal he could find. He built his own rocket! Gregory was shocked. How could such a small weird alien create something so amazing in a matter of hours? “ I could build something bigger and way more cool than that”. He went to the dump and collected as much metal as possible he tried and tried but he was no match for spike, he did not know anything about building rockets. Finally, Spike was able to leave, he looked and looked and finally found the perfect place. Once he landed he decided to look around. He walked and finally, he found something….., more like someone. He looked at this person, thing, alien. He looked exactly like him, no green skin, no eyes above his head. It was a human. Turns out he wasn't an alien at all he was a human, he wasn't weird he just wasn't in the right place. But now he is, and he is going to take every chance at being himself that he can.

So he found some crabs that could help him, but the good thing is that gravity does not affect the crabs. He got out, but the crabs had to drag him across to his lab, but he was so heavy. The crabs called more and more crabs to help drag him across to the lab, but before they helped him, they put him in a small tank, as he could not breathe on land. Then, they got to the laboratory, and he started to do some research of all the worst fish who would make the gravity stronger. It was Yasser the octopus! The crabs were going on an adventure now to find Yasser. Let's search the city! It was hard as they had to stay undercover because the crabs and the shark were in a small tank, and it would be too obvious. What does that say “octopus headquarters quarter”. “We found Yasser the octopus. Yeah, let's go in because we need to stay cover.”. “Let’s split up into small groups, you go right, you go left, you will go forward, and everybody else is coming with me.” After a while, they could not find him. After they went to the top floor together and they found Yasser. He was planning something but there was a paper in a drawer that had looked important because he put a lock on it. After a lot of pulling and punching, we managed to break the lock that said: “Strong Gravity Forever”. The octopus came back and saw the crab and the shark. “Well well well, looks like you figured out my code, what are you going to do now?” “We have crabs and there are a lot of them behind us. The crabs are going to beat you up with their pin sirs.” “Pinch pinch pinch pinch.” The octopus had no chance of winning, so they took Yasser the octopus to jail and they got a worker to fix the gravity, so they went back into the water and said goodbye to each other. So after all, the shark did have a very lazy.
