Once upon a time long ago before the Pangaea continent split all the animals and plants lived in harmony. The only plants that could talk were the trees so the trees said things for all the plants. Once in a forest a tree got uncomfortable and asked the bird in the kindest way possible “Mr.Bird can you make your nest somewhere else? The place you have your nest is itching me.” The bird being a kind bird said “Yes I will move” and he picked up his nest and flew away. 

Now If you've ever had friends you know that if the “cool person” does something it’s considered “cool”. Now, unknown to the small spruce he was being watched by his friends who immediately asked their birds to move, then their friends asked their birds to move. Do you see where I’m going with this? Before long the entire bird population had gathered in the fields. 

Most were grumbling about it. Some flew long distances to the far away birch trees while others started digging holes in the ground where they put their nests. One bird was especially angry. Back then the type of bird was called a longbeak because just like a normal bird it built its nest in a tree and couldn't think of anything worse than pecking a tree. Now we know it as a woodpecker but back then It hadn't started pecking yet. This little bird was known as Tiny. And Tiny was devising a plan to get vengeance on the trees. 

Tiny started off by finding some friends that would help him. He found a small field mouse named Cheese, a Raven named Caw and a Crow named Jet. The birds agreed to get their trees back. The mouse agreed because he had nothing better to do. So they set off for the trees. Once they got there Cheese approached the trees slowly with the birds hiding in the bushes nearby. They had decided that the mouse was the best at convincing people. Cheese asked the trees “Why did you kick the birds out?” The tree replied “We are tired of being homes for the birds.” Now the tree was very far away from the original tree and, like a game of telephone, the message had gotten all jumbled up. Cheese returned to Tiny, Jet, and Caw to report. 

They all started discussing a plan. Over the next few hours they tried quite a few plans including talking to the trees, ignoring the trees and going back to their nests, and rallying the birds to attack the trees. All of these plans ended in failure. 

Just as they were about to give up, Tiny had an idea. What if they threaten the trees with fire? He told all his friends and they agreed with barely any argument. I mean if threatening to burn the trees doesn't work  and they ‘accidentally’ forget to put out the fire and the trees ‘just so happen’ to burn down then they will have more space for their ground nests. So they put their plan into action. 

First,  avoid all trees (so the trees couldn't prepare for them) They set up a TP big enough for them to live in, in the middle of the birch forest. Next, they brought 2 rocks and some extra sticks off to the side. The last step was the one Tiny was worried about, but he still got up there and started talking. “UmUMM!” you could tell the trees were listening because of the subtle shifts in their trunks and the fact that all their branches became still. “Thank you. Hi my name is Tiny and I am here to tell you that the birds want our home back!” The trees started grumbling. One even yelled “NEVER!” but Tiny continued. “I will give you a choice. Let us take our homes back OR . . . ” he paused  dramatically, as the forest held its breath (or would it be sap? Leaves? Branches?). “We’ll set the forest on fire.”  Jet struck the rock together and the TP went up in flames. They lit the edges of the sticks they had gathered on fire and stood there, waiting  to see what the trees decided to do. A little before dawn the biggest tree spoke. What Tiny didn’t know was that he would be the last tree to ever speak. He said “You have outsmarted us. We are sorry that we kicked you out. As long as you make sure that the fire is gone you can have your home back.”

That is the story of how Tiny and his newly acquired friends saved the birds from being homeless. Most birds just went back to living in nests, but that wasn't enough for Tiny. He wanted to make sure the trees always remembered kicking them out so he held on to a tree and started to peck with his beak. After a while he had a hole big enough for a nest and he snuggled in tight. That is why the species is now known as woodpeckers. All of Tiny's descendants have pecked holes in trees to remind them of the tree's promises. Oh and the trees never spoke or even moved again. Besides the swaying in the wind when they need to stretch or  whispering in the forest when they want to save or scare humans, but that doesn't count, right? 

Anyway I think the moral of this story could be ‘friendship can do anything!’ or ‘Think before you follow the leader!’ but I want something a little more . . . dramatic! What about ‘Fire solves all problems.’? Yes I like that. I like that very much. So I guess you could say “The moral of the story is “Fire solves all problems”. So go out, explore, maybe cut down a tree or 2 in honor of Tiny and remember ‘Fire solves all problems!”

This story starts in a little town called Grimville. Grimville was between two mountains right next to a sea that led to the Brombia Sea. John was a nerd who loved adventure. School was always his favorite part of the day. He played Dungeons and Dragons every Saturday instead of watching television. Today, he was reading a book about a radiant red diamond. He wanted to see the diamond in real life. “ On April 24, 2623 the Diamond of Life was lost in a sunken ship in the Brombia Sea.”  After school that day John flew home on his hoverboard that he built himself. John told mother and father about the diamond. John’s mother and father are very strict about going anywhere. Going on an adventure was huge. Mother and father were stunned. They agreed to let me go if Scout would come, but I had to wait until summer break. Summer break was only a day away.  Scout is a chunky dog that thinks that he is protective, but really he isn’t. He just looks like a sausage on four meatballs. You would laugh just by seeing him. 

I started packing. I packed a pair of clothes and lots of energy bars. I didn’t want to pack a lot because I was going to be adventuring great distances. The next day Scout and I were off. We had only been gone for a few minutes but our hoverboard died. I threw it in the bushes crying my heart out, but I knew that I had to press on. I had made it out of town when I had faced a colossal problem. 

Mount Arvon stood between me and my destiny. I couldn’t get around it, I couldn’t get over it, and I surely couldn’t go through it. I put my hand on the mountain to rest, but I fell right through the mountain. I was astonished. I told Scout to come on but he wouldn’t budge. Scout let me pick him up so we went through together. I get really dark extremely fast. I turned my flashlight on and let Scout down and he was fine. The cave ground was grimy and wet. It was late that night so I set up camp and went to bed. Scout stayed up to protect me from anything that might come near. 

I woke early the next morning and took two energy bars, one for me and one for Scout. We kept on going and I was so anxious to find the amazing diamond. We saw a wall up ahead so we ran right at it. We didn’t go through it, we smacked our faces on cold mountain rock. We walked around trying to find an exit. Finally, Scout put his head through the wall and he went through. I finally found the Brombia Sea. We caught our breath and dropped our stuff down. Scout would stay and I would go down to find the diamond. I hopped in the water and it was as cold as an ice cube. At the bottom of the sea I could see everything. The water was totally clear. I swam around but couldn’t find anything. I had to come up for air, but I found an old ship. I bobbed at the top of the water for a minute, then went back down. I could see a red beam of light gleaming in the water. I was almost at it when this horrible ugly creature grabbed the red light. 

The red light was the diamond. The thing swam upward and I tried to chase it. I ran to grab Scout and then we chased the creature. I wanted to get some water, then sadly I realized that I had left the bag back at the waterfront. The creature stopped at a ginormous wet straw nest. The thing was like a chicken with the legs of a shark, like a sharcken. The sharcken boomed at us and said 

“ What are you doing here?” 

“ I chased you because you stole the diamond I wanted,” exclaimed John.

“ Hi my name is Kah. John, that diamond is the Diamond of Life. This diamond can make my sharckens grow up to be strong like me,” explained Kah

“Okay Kah I will let you have the diamond,” said John.

Kah offered John to ride on her back. Of course John screamed yes. John could feel the crisp air flow across his face. The wind whistled in my ears and I was having the thrill of my life. Scout was howling and barking like crazy. Once we got home we could see mom and dad standing there with open arms. They gave me a warm hug and Scout a pat on the head. In return Scout gave mom and dad a ginormous slobbery kiss. Even though I didn’t get the diamond, and I did go through hard times, the moral of the story is to never give up.

Five billion years ago, the galaxy was created. The galaxy was made the way it was by mistake. Above space was a giant factory. To be clear, this was not any factory. This factory was the International Galaxy Creation Department, or the IGCD. The IGCD was manufacturing a masterpiece. Mr. Director of Creation, or Mr. DOC, had a plan. He was the proud CEO of the IGCD, and was the administrator in making the galaxy. Mr. DOC was excessively high-achieving. He wanted everything to be perfect and fall into place. Three years after his initial idea, he presented his masterpiece to the workers. He got many questionable looks which he assumed were indecisive looks. He declared that the project would commence the very next day.

The next morning came quickly. Mr. DOC awoke to a deafening sound in the kitchen. He rolled out of bed and groaned as he thought of the interminable day ahead of him.  As he strolled to Keurig, he noticed a rather large clump at the machine. He muscled through the crowd to find that the Keurig was spitting coffee everywhere! He bolted to the Mechanic’s Lounge in the east wing of the factory and barged in. He roared at the mechanic, “Why is the coffee machine broken!!!” He screamed so loud that he didn’t even realize that the mechanic wasn’t in his lounge. “ Mr. DOC, sir?” said Jerry, the head of the workers. “The mechanic got Covid Negative 19 and he is out for the next two weeks.” Mr. DOC was furious. He yelled and stormed away. Jerry lowered his head. “Well sorry!” he said in a sarcastic tone. “I was just trying to help.”

Once Mr. DOC had found his temper, he went on with the project without his coffee. As he approached the middle of the factory where the Creation Room was, Mr. DOC thought the situation through.  He stood on the catwalk with his microphone and said, “Attention all IGCD workers, move the galaxy and new stars to the cargo door and dump them. NOW!” All the stars and the galaxy with nothing in it fell into space. The galaxy was made in the Creation Room and was a little old, so it had a lot of dust. This dust clustered together to make large rocks and the rocks collided. Mr. DOC was watching in terror as the big clusters began to suck up all the gas that made the galaxy and it collapsed under its own weight. “NOOOOOOO!!!!!!” Mr DOC roared. “What is happening! A worker chimed in, “I do believe that the dust from the galaxy is making clusters and the gas is drawn to them, causing the molecular structure of the galaxy to collapse, causing the galaxy to be extremely hot and form a giant ball of gas in the middle, almost like a Milky Way candy bar, sir.” This made Mr. DOC lose it. “I… didn’t… ASK!!!” The worker ran away and started screaming to the other workers, “We can name the galaxy The Milky Way!” He had completely forgotten his talk with Mr. DOC and he started to type into his computer. M-i-l-k-y W-a-y. “Perfect”, he said. 

Even though the name was perfect, nothing else was. The creation of the galaxy was a bust. Right as Mr. DOC signaled for the workers to use the vacuum to bring it all back to the factory, everyone heard a booming sound coming from the entrance of the factory. It was Thor. “I can fix it!”, he said. He swung his hammer and disappeared into space. The center of the galaxy was extremely hot, but Thor went in anyway. He threw his hammer into the center and the star exploded, pushing out all the gas. Some of this gas clustered together to make many giant stars that would eventually be the center of millions of solar systems. At the center, the ball of collided gas and dust turned into a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A. 

Thor raced back and stood in the cargo door of the factory. Everyone at the IGCD clapped and cheered. Thor had saved the creation of the galaxy. Inside each solar system, rocks collided at different angles and speeds that made the planets, and everything fell into its place. Mr. DOC was amazed. He saw how beautiful it was and his jaw dropped. Before he went to bed that night, he left a note in the Mechanic’s Lounge. It contained an apology letter for screaming at him even though he wasn’t here. He went to Jerry’s room and told him he was sorry. Mr. DOC decided to change his ways  completely. He decided to be less cranky and more forgiving to his workers. The next day, he bought donuts for the employees. Everyone in the IGCD was immortal and would eventually be a human being just like us. After 1 billion years, Mr DOC let all his employees go and live a joyful life on Earth.

THE END

Scarier than your siblings when they're mad. Bigger than ten school buses stacked on top of each other. The Titan is a four winged beast with teeth sharper than your average knife. Claws able to hold ten men just on its palm. This mighty beast will haunt you in the night not killing haunt but the anxiety that when you wake up your dog will be missing. That's right this mighty beast is never seen at day but comes out at night. No one knows why the Titan does that. All they know is that if you look away from your dog for just one second your dog will disappear! So keep watch because the Titan is still out there you never know your dog could be gone faster than you can blink. So watch to see what might happen.

What the Titan  doesn’t know is these three kids are coming for him; they are going to figure out what he’s up to. These kids are called Eva the adventurous, afraid of nothing girl. Clay the brainy smart one, always trying to be right. Finally Kate the pretty and elegant one. These kids don’t know what will come, will they make it or will their bodies give out before they reach the end. Let's see what happens.

One peaceful Sunday morning Eva's mom ran outside to find Eva in a tree.

“Eva Thumper (Their dog) is gone!” She said, crying a little.

“Where is he?” Eva said wanting to go and find him. 

“ Well it's a long story but last night I was watching Thumper then I got a phone call and heard that daddy was coming home soon but then I looked back and he was gone. I might have fainted, this is why i'm telling you now but that is not important. We have to find him before dad gets home.” Eva’s mother yelled. 

“Mom, chill out, we are going to be ok. I will get the squad together and maybe they can help us find Thumper and all their dogs that are missing.” Eva stated. 

“ Oh, they are not just missing, they have been stolen by the Titan!” Eva’s worrying mother said. 

So this is where it all began. The Titan was going to be tracked down by Eva and her crew. To solve this problem.

The next day Eva went to Clay's house which is usually not normal but if she does go she is usually only there for five minutes until she is bored of all of Clay's science and nerdy lectures. 

“ Hey Clay! I need you to come with me. I have a mission we need to succeed or in other words accomplish.” Eva said. 

“But I just started figuring out how to make the human magnet.” Clay said wanting her to move on. 

“ Listen Clay, we are going to get Kate and start this mission.” Eva stated.

 “ Well if I'm going to go, what is this mission anyway?” Clay asked.

 “We are going on a crazy mission. A mission that takes courage! We are going to find the Titan and figure out what he is up to.” Eva yelled.

 “ Ok, let's go save all these dogs that have been captured.” Clay said. 

So they went walking until they reached Kate's house. They went inside and she was working on her ballet recital. Which was in  a month. 

“What are you guys doing here?” She asked. 

“ We are going to find the-” Clay started but before he could finish Kate said 

“Ok!” So they went to find this beast.

A few days later they got to the part of the trip where they found the map in a chest full of gold but they didn't get the gold they just kept moving on. They walked for miles until they came upon the first out of three challenges they had to face to get to the kingdom of the Titan.

“ Our first task is to get through the jumping widow path.” Eva said, shaking a bit. 

“ What is that?” Kate wondered. 

“ It is a path where if you don’t watch carefully the blackwidows will  jump on you and try to bit you, but if you can make the secret serum you will be able to make it with not even one spider jumping on you.” Clay said.

 But by the time he had finished talking Kate was hiding behind a tree.

 “ Ok, let's go.” Eva said.

 “We need to make the serum but what is it?” They wondered.

 “I know! The blackwidow is a creepy spider that likes to eat its prey but if you don’t study spiders the blackwidow is the only one that does not like ham.” Clay said. 

At that moment they found a pig running down to the stream to get a drink.

 “ How are we going to be able to catch him and make ham.?” Kate wondered. “You can’t make ham, ham is in the pig!” Eva whispered angrily.

“I know.” Clay said and this is what they did. 

They grabbed some of the vines from the mossy tree and they swung on a tree from one side of the stream to the other without the little pig seeing them. Then they tied it to the tree on the other side and then Eva swung on the vine and grabbed the pig with her feet holding on to the vine. The pig could talk so they asked him his name and if he could help them. His name was Henry and he said he would love to. So that is how they made it across the blackwidow path. Then they  kept moving on to their next task on their journey.

A few days went by and they still haven’t found their next task. Which relieved them because they did not want to go on another danger act. But then came the next task: flying unicorn lions. These creatures weren’t friendly.

 “ Oh great.” Kate said.

 “ Wait there is a solution to this if you look at their mane if they are blue they are males but if their mane is pink then they are girls. If you look at them they are all boys. If we find a girl then the flying unicorn lions will be distracted by fighting over who gets her.” Clay said. 

So that's what they did. But what was a great thing for them is that the girl of those creatures and the friendly kind they love people. They found one named Pearl she was looking for someone to hang with. So they took her to the male creatures and they were definitely distracted. 

They were waiting for their last task when they found it. Their last task was to fight Nanans. If you don’t know what they are, well they are little creepy creatures that look like elves without the Christmas stuff on. I know they don’t sound creepy but each one of these creatures can turn into a different type of animal. They grabbed their weapons (which were rock guns they made out of the blackwidow venom). They shot all of them with their guns and they went into another dimension never to be found again.

Sunday August 5 they found the cave of the Titan. They went in there to find hundreds of dogs cuddling with each other and the Titan. They entered the cave when the Titan saw them. The kids just got on their knees and crawled over to the dogs when the Titan said

 “What are you doing here?” She said, 

“ We just want our dogs so you may live in peace all you want.” Eva said. 

The Titan told them that all she wanted was kids she could love on so the kids, and dogs rode on the back of the beast to home where the dogs got returned to their families. Then the kids gave her some dogs in the shelter that were not owned and needed a family. The four dogs were Oscar, Charlie, Lia. and Freddy. They went home together. But what was fun about the whole thing is that every once in a while they would come and visit. 

The moral of this story is to be friendly to those who need help. Sometimes people will need your hand to help them up or help them with their problem. You should also be adventurous and courageous and don’t be afraid to do hard things.

Once upon a time there was a little chicken nugget named Nugget Pablo Salvador lll, but everyone just called him Nug. Nug was part of the Chicken Strips, one of the 8 tribes of the nuggets, and each tribe had a different power. Nug’s tribe’s superpower was gravity control, which is when they could control gravity. The only thing was, Nug was short, and nobody took him seriously, but he didn’t really care. Well, he did care, but right now, Nug has his mind focused on another thing, which was the Pluto war. He thought that the Nugerions were the only civilization on planet Pluto, but the Dora Jeeps have come out of hiding, literally. For 9000 years, the Dorianian Jeepseisity, or Dora Jeeps for short, have been hiding under the surface, waiting for the right time to come out, which is now. 

The ground erupted with Dora’s coming out of the ground in their jeeps yelling the fiercest battle cry. The one that made you want to go to bed, hide under the covers, and never come out. Their cry was “CAN YOU SAY: SOY DORAAAAAAAAA?!?!?” Yet the Nugerions were fierce warriors, and they fought back. The first battle of the pluto war was at the tallest lighthouse, but they decided to call it “The Battle Of The Puddle '', since it had rained the previous day. The bugle sounded, and the fighting began. The two clans start clashing. At first, you couldn’t tell who was winning, but as the hours passed, it looked like the Nugerions were on top. One not very bright Dora Jeep soldier thought “if I throw this grenade at the window, It will bounce off and hit the Nugerions! I for sure will be promoted to General after this!” By the way, the Dora Jeeps were known for their fierceness, not their smartness.

 Nug watched from his bedroom window, when all of a sudden, BANG! A grenaded broke through his window! In a panic, he ate the grenade! “Oh well” Nug thought “Goodbye cruel world!” As the seconds ticked by, they became minutes, and the minutes became hours. Nug eventually stood up wondering why he wasn’t blowing up. Eventually, he told his mom who thought it was a joke and, just to humor him, took him to the Emergency Room of the Nugerions, and she fainted when the x-ray pictures came. It showed the grenade melting into his blood, becoming a part of him. They immediately took him to the operating table and tried, but failed, to get the grenade. Then, one of the doctors had an idea.

They took him outside to get some fresh air.

“If the trajectile device went into his bloodstream, and merged on a subatomic level- “the doctor explained before he got cut off by Nug’s mom, Patricia, “Can you say that in english please?” she asked. 

The exasperated doctor sighed and said “ He may be able to blow up and not hurt himself.” Again, the mom fainted. 20 minutes and a bunch of smelling salts later, she said “oh my Obama.”

The doctor replied,“we would like to do some tests. If that's ok with you.”

” Sure,” the mom replied.“Only if I can get and see the doctor pass.” 

Confused, the doctor asked “why?” 

Patricia responded, “I hate waiting for you guys for check-ups. I wait 30 minutes in the waiting room, and then 30 more minutes in the room.” The doctor said ok and sighed.

The doctors called the general of the Nugerion army, Jorge Washingmachine, to come and watch Nug’s testing. The general, thinking it was a joke, still came down to the undisclosed location.

“So, where’s the kid?” he asked.

“In the bedrock box” the doctor replied. Now, it’s anyone's guess what the general was saying, but if you twisted my arm and made me tell, I would say “Wow, this is a bit extreme for a prank.” But when he saw the bedrock box exploded, and the kid, standing with only a smile on his face. Only a smile. Although his body was bomb-proof, his clothes clearly were not

“Oh jeez,” the general said as he averted his eyes. 

“Somebody get this kid some clothes.” The doctor, wanting to know what the general was thinking, said “So, whaddya think?” The general ignoring the doctor said to Patricia,

“I will pay 1,000,000,000 in chums(there currency at the time) if you let me borrow this kid

“What for?” Patrica asked 

“I want this kid to be a soldier in our army.” the general responded.

“He’s just a kid!”

“A kid with an extremely helpful superpower!”

Patricia and the general went back and forth, quibbling for minutes, until nug yelled “Enough!” 

“Mom, I'll be okay.” inside, Nug was secretly excited. It was always his dream to become a War hero, and now he actually got his chance.

Now you're all caught up about how Nug became a bomb, but now let’s hear about his journey in the war.

Nug was excited for his first day of training. He heard all of the gruesome stories about being in camp, but Nug was thinking, “It's only 1 week, how hard could it be?” Well, at the end of day one, Nug had successfully ran 100 miles, done 900,000,000 push ups, 900,000,000 pull up’s,

And 100,000,000,000 burpees. All on day one. Day 2 - 7 was like this, but Nug was determined to get through the week without crying or complaining. At the end of the week, Nug had almost lost his hands, feet, and legs, but he did it. He had to go in a full body cast, but he did it. Finally, the day was here! Nug finally got to be in a war. And get this: because of the show of “exemplary work during training”, he got to be a general! Nug wanted to end the war at this battle. He had to. Nug decided the only way to send a cavalry, then the runners. The runners were a term for people who jumped in the enemy's trenches and tried to capture as many people as they could.

Today was the day. The day that would decide it all. The bugle sounded, and it reminded Nug of so many years ago when the same bugle sounded, the day that gave him his powers. By the way, after all of the training, Nug got put in a special course for his powers, which he learned how to control. Now, he could end this war. The plan he told his leaders about the cavalry and the runners was a decoy. Once the fighting started, he ran to the enemy's side, and blew up. The captain yelled “CHARGE!!”, and Nug started running. He finally got to the other side and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Nug was so blind with fame and power, he didn’t consider the part about the deaths. 

Nug got his medallion for showing bravery, and a nice salary, but for the rest of his life, the men that he blew up haunted him, and as he died, his last thought was “What if we could share pluto”

And so, the moral of the story is that sharing will solve most problems, even wars.

Have you ever wondered about the odd color of a giraffe’s tongue? Well it all started millions of years ago. Once upon a time there was a giraffe who lived at the Atlanta Zoo. His name was Jerry the giraffe. Jerry was the most animated of all the animals. He was always up to schemes and weird activities. None of the animals would ever agree to do one. All day Jerry would sit around in his office and plan new unique strategies. One day he had an idea, it was the most extreme scheme he had ever thought of. In the corner was Ella the elephant eating her favorite  snack, peanuts. When Jerry told her his  idea she thought it was crazy, but after some hardcore convincing, she and some of the other animals agreed to do it  “Let’s get started!” Jerry said excitedly. 

“Ok, here’s the plan.” Jerry explained the whole thing as easily as he could. It started off at night, the animals would wait until the zoo keeper would come to lock the animals up for the night. As she closes the cages Cameron the chameleon would use her super power to camouflage and secretly grab the keys. Later she would use them to unlock everyone. That’s where Steve the sloth comes in he’ll be on lookout the entire time. Once we’re all unlocked we’ll enter the building, the legend says the grape jelly is in the safe on the top floor,so that’s where we’re headed. Throughout the building there will be all kinds of obstacles Ellie you’re in charge of turning those off. The hardest part is when we find the zoo keeper’s office, it’s Thursday night and Brenda’s in charge so we’ll have to be really careful. Molly the Monkey’s the fastest and sneakiest, so you’ll scurry across the room to unlock the cabinet. We’ll unlock it, grab as much as we can, and have an all you can eat grape jelly buffet!”

“Got it?” Jerry asked. 

“Got it.” The animals all cheered in agreement.

That night, the plan went exactly as it was supposed to. The animals were

locked up, and Cameron the chameleon blended in with the grass and grabbed the keys. Once the coast was clear the animals quietly entered the building. 

“Where to now?” Ellie whispered. 

“Shhh!” Jerry shushed her immediately. 

“Don’t you remember the plan?” Jerry muttered, annoyed. 

“Nope.” She responded. 

“Now Steve is supposed to check to make sure there’s no lazer beams.” Jerry explained

 “What laser beams?” Steve said, puzzled. 

“Don’t you remember, Come on guys we went over this!” Jerry whined. 

“Oh yeah!” Steve remarked. 

Steve got some powder from his bag, and blew it across the hall. Suddenly, radiant lights appeared in front of them. All the animals gazed amazed. 

“I found the laser panel!” Ellie exclaimed.

“Finally.” Jerry said.

“Hurry turn it off!” Molly the monkey said eagerly.

Ellie the elephant used her long trunk and was able to control the system. Once they were turned off the animals crossed the hall and headed up a long, dreaded, flight of stairs. They made it up to the second floor when right in front of them stood a big security guard, blocking the door. Then, as fast as they could, all the animals piled in the janitor’s closet. It was crammed in there and it smelled like old trash, and cleaning products. The animals managed to stay in there for a little while, until Jerry the Giraffe thought of something.

“Jerry!” Ellie exclaimed

“Yeah, hurry up and think of something.” Steve agreed.

“Okay, here’s the plan.” Jerry continued.

“The guard’s asleep, so if we’re extra quiet we can sneak right past him.” Jerry said.

“Okay, let’s get going.” Jerry announced.

The animals were able to squeeze out the door just in time. They headed up the stairs and reached their destination! Right in front of them stood the door to the promised land. 

“There it is guys.” Molly exclaimed eagerly.

“Come on, let's go already!” Ellie begged.

“Wait, I forgot to make one last stop.” Jerry remembered.”

Since Steve the sloth was on lookout, he convinced him to follow him. They turned left at the end of the hall, and there were the kangaroos. Jerry was good friends with Katie the kangaroo, so he asked her to help him with something. He knew that they wouldn’t be able to carry all the jelly themselves, so he thought Katie could help them. Her large kangaroo pouch could help them carry so much more! After lots and lots of begging she finally agreed to do it. 

“Please, please, please!” Jerry begged.

“Okay, fine!” Katie announced.

“Great, now follow me.” Jerry ordered.

“Coast is clear.”  Steve confirmed.

The animals brought Katie to the room, they followed the same steps to the plan. Molly the monkey found the key in the zookeeper’s drawer, and unlocked the cabinet. There  in front of them was a lifetime supply of grape jelly. As quickly as they could they stashed it. The animals put the jelly in bags, containers, and pouches until there was none left. They then scurried down the hall, down the stairs and made their way back to their cages.

“We did it!” Jerry exclaimed.

“Yay!” Molly cheered.

“Okay, since it’s so late we should wait to feast tomorrow.” Jerry decided.

The animals all agreed that that was the best decision. The one thing you should know about giraffe’s is they never wait. The animals made the wrong decision about trusting him. Jerry the giraffe had waited until everyone was long asleep and ate every single jar of grape jelly. When the rest of the animals woke up the next day, there in the middle of the floor was Jerry covered in purple jelly. The animals were very upset and mad at Jerry. Jerry the Giraffe had so much grape jelly that it stained his tongue. Believe it or not that is why giraffes have purple tongues.

On the marsin surface there are martians. They are red like the ground with 1 to 3 heads, 1 to 4 eyes per head, all have wings and they have 2 or 4 arms. One morning Roberto was going to air school to learn how to fly. Roberto is smart, handsome, has 3 eyes per head, 4 arms, and 2 heads. On the way to air school he met Leonardo and Richard. Leonardo is smart, handsome, has 2 eyes per head, 4 arms, and 3 heads. Richard is smart, handsome, has 4 eyes per head, has 1 head, and has 4 arms.

They talked all the way there and when they got there they figured out they were in the same class. When they got to class an announcement was made “Warning Earth is going to send a rover here in 2 weeks,” announced the announcer. Them and the other martians had to figure out what to do because they don’t want the people on Earth to figure out their existence. Roberto and his friends had an idea but to do it they needed to know how to fly. It took them 5 days to learn how to fly so they only had 9 days left. 

They each had a different job. Roberto's job was to find a good place to make a hidden tunnel. Leonardo’s and Richard’s job is to go and get some of the community’s help. Leonardo and Richard got the community’s help and Roberto led them to the spot he had found. The part of the community that can fly went with Richard to go get resources while the other part stayed with Roberto and Leonardo to start digging the tunnel. 

Richard was looking for stabilized iron which was what they needed but it wasn't at the resource pile they were at so they had to go to another one which took them an extra day. Richard got back to the tunnel and it was almost done but they only have 5 days left. Some of the community started building walls of the tunnel while some continued to dig the tunnel. Richard had forgotten some important resources which were simuifires, range beams, and connectors. He took only a small portion of the community with him to go out and find them. It took them 2 days to do so and set them up. 

When they got back to the tunnel it was done and the extinction command center was done except for the controls. They only had a day left to set up the controls. They barely got the controls setup in time with only an hour left until the rover came. They had no time to test it and just hoped it worked. When the rover got there they used it and it worked! Everybody cheered and gave each other a high five. The three said to the community, “we couldn't do this without your help, thank you”. Their plan was for when the rover got in about 50 miles of any sort of marsin life it would go into a simulator where it felt like the real world but it wasn’t. The moral of the story is that teamwork is important. 

Once upon a time, wait no this is not a happy story. Well, for right now it is. Let's start where I was playing with my best friend Dawn in her kingdom. She is very kind and she hates hunters.

“Nightmare! You win, I have flown up above, Sniffed with my nose, I even went to Cloud Cabin!” 

“I ran out as fast as I could to make sure she was ok. “ 

“Dawn! What do you mean you went to Cloud Cabin!” 

“ These days when we play hide and seek I never know where you could be.”

She said in a exhausted voice

“ Let's go, I am tired. I need pup treats.” 

“Race you there Nightmare!” 

“ You're on!!!”  

Yes this may seem happy for now but all the things will soon come to an end, the happiness I mean. 

“ Dawn, why is your kingdom crumbling?!”

  “ RUN!”

 I could not move. I was horrified,  the Light Kingdom was falling apart. All I could hear and see were black smoke, fire, and purple dust, and wolves howling in pain. I knew my magic was not strong enough to stop this even though I am the black alpha.

 “ NIGHTMARE LOOK OUT!” 

I knew what I had to do. I ran to Dawn and put her on my back, she was very VERY heavy. That might be since I was a female pup but I had no choice. I knew what had to be done. I teleported us to Midnight Mountains. 

I could see Dawn crying, as a wolf it's not a pleasant sound but I was her friend so I had to comfort her. 

“ My mom and Dad were in there, All the wolves that were in the kingdom. They are gone.” Dawn cried 

 I knew who had done this.

 “ Dawn, you know wolves and hunters are not on the same page.” I tried to explain

“ Yes, I know nightmare. But all these years I have never thought the wolves would lose against hunters.” She said annoyed 

 Then we both suddenly heard noise coming from further up in the mountains. Then we heard gunshots and yelling. 

“Quick think of a safe place to go, Nightmare!”

  All I could ever think of was why can’t there be peace. Dawn had no time for me to blank out. She pulled my ear and took us to Dark Drive.

 

“ You're kidding.” I said in a frustrated voice.

 “ Sorry, it's the  only place I could think of.” She said in a very tired voice.

 “ Do we have any place to go other than here?” I said eagerly 

“ Not that I can think of.” Dawn said

 All of a sudden we saw purple smoke and a baby crying.

 “ What. is. That.” 

You see, I get angry very easily. “It sounds like a mini stick figure with fur on its head and big eyes and tiny tiny nose, that is, yelping.” 

 She took a very big breath that made the sound louder.

 “ Hush, would you Dawn!” 

 I went into the bushes and found a mini stick figure with fur on its head and big eyes. And yes, it was yelping. She had brown hair and she had big green eyes, and she look scared and confused 

It looked at me and turned her head in confusion. I don’t blame her, I am a wolf with wings. I sniffed it and. 

“It's a hunter’s mini stick person,with fur on its head and big eyes and a tiny nose.

The hunter’s mini stick, you know what let me just call it a mini person. The mini person started babbling. 

“Bele Bele Bele!” 

“Quick! Before it gets a gun and shoots us or starts to grow wings and horns and uses the purple dust against us!” Dawn yelled.

But I looked at it and it looked harmless and cute.

“ What are you talking about? It's harmless,and it looks like it wants me to put it on my back. 

Dawn was very confused 

“ You mean a mini stick person wants to go on your back “

“ YEAH!”

I got it on my back but it fell onto the ground. It started crying and the purple dust came out of its hands. 

Dawn started screaming like a crazy wolf and I licked the mini stick person.

“ Dawn, stop.”

But she would not.

“ I SAID ENOUGH!”

My wings came out and turned black and then my paws started to glow.

“ WOW! You finally did it. Wait, did you really get mad at me?”

That's how I never obeyed Dawn again because she never obeyed me. Few years later I lived with Kate the mini person, oh and apparently they are called humans. Us 3 lived together on Dark Drive, hearing about humans and wolves fighting each other. We turned into our human forms, Dawn and me to go watch the news.

“ Wait, that's my kingdom!” I exclaimed

“ My Father is with. Isabella”

She is a browned haired girl with blue eyes and loves killing wolves I guess?

“ Go.” Dawn said commanding me

“What?”

“ Go to your father, he needs you!”

“ But what about-”

“ I will look after Kate, now GO!”

 I ran as fast as the wind, Like an ox I pushed the trees away till I made it to Midnight Mountains just in time to see Isabella pointing a gun toward my father. 

“ Give up you wolf. You're going to die.” 

She pointed her gun at my father, my anger rose up seeing my father about to die. My wings got black and my eyes turned red, my paws glowed a blood red color, horns grew and I ran at the speed of light. I jumped and growled at Isabella.

“ Awww the little wolf has come again to save his dad. How cute, NOT!” She laughed hysterically. 

“ You have to kill me if you want to kill my father!”

“ No problem.”

“ Her gun was loaded and ready to shoot, my horns turned red and a lazer came out zapping a piece of her hair.  Not knowing that would take so much of my strength I was tired, that's when she shot me in the paw. I felt not knowing what to do, thinking I had left all the wolves down. 

“ Any last words you baby wolf?”

I knew I was too tired to do anything at all, my father looked at me.

“ Oh right you and your father will die together”

I closed my eyes not wanting to see this moment, I heard a weak howl and a gunshot knowing what had happened. I did not bother opening my eyes, there was no point.

“ Now that he is gone no one is here.”

“ Do it if you must.”

She did, I was gone. I don't know what happened after that. It was a mystery to me. But all I know is that Kate and Dawn made a statue for me in honor of the black alpha. My dad and I are together now. I still hear Kate cry every once in a while. I know Dawn is very sad; she just does not show it.  Everyone's life comes to an end, Isabella also died a few years later.  And from then on wolves and hunters were never friends

The moral is Happiness always comes with a price.

Once upon a time there was an  interesting group of friends. Their names are Stitch, who is the main character who is an alien who is best friends with Lilo. Tigger, the one who is Winnie the pooh's good friend and is always in his own world. Pua, who cannot talk but is very smart and is Moana's pet pig. Lastly is the donkey, from Shrek who loves waffles. Now donkey is kind of the reason why Uranus is teal. 

One day they all decided to go to the Bahamas, they had no other car or plane because nobody trusted them  with their vehicles and they didn't allow a tiger, alien, pig, or donkey on the plane. So they took Stitch's spaceship. 

“Let’s get this show on the road!” Tigger said. 

“Wait, we aren't going on the road though because we are in a car that flies! But we should stop for some waffles!” 

“Donkeys would always say that. Pua was very excited for the Bahamas. He had also said he knows exactly where the Bahamas are so for some reasons they let him put in the directions.” 

“Starting route to Urabake.” Said the direction lady.

 “What's that donkey?” Stitch said “ Oh we are gonna stop at the bakery first!” 

 “Ok onward!” Tigger said. They were all so ready for this trip but we were confused because they felt like they were never gonna get there.

 “Donkey, how much longer! I feel like we have been flying for hours!” Tigger Exclaimed.

 “Yeah, so we have a slight problem.” Donkey said.

 “What kind of Problem?” Stitch asked. 

“So we are kinda not in the Bahamas, I mean we are kinda sorta not really close tho, ok we are in space around a big grey thing.”

 “WHAT!?” Stitch yelled. 

“ That's awesome!” Said Tigger. “So donkey you're saying that you didn’t check the directions before we went to the Bahamas so we are now stranded in space with no food or water left?” Stitch asked. “Yes that is correct.” “ahh!”

After everyone calmed down and Pua stopped slapping the donkey across the face, Stitch landed the spaceship on the big grey object they found. Stitch gave them the spacesuits from the ship to use to go explore for food. “Ok let's not split up because we will get lost.” Stitch said.

 “Wow, why am I doing that thing that balloons do?! This is wonderful!” Tigger said.

 “Ok enough let’s just try to find food.” Stitch and Pua were mostly the ones who actually searched for food while Donkey and Tigger enjoyed being able to “fly.” Then Stitch and Pua noticed something. Something they had never seen before and didn’t think they would ever see. It was aliens, large slimy teal aliens, having a bake sale, in the middle of a random grey object. 

“Ok this may be the only food we will ever be able to find and you never know they could be nice aliens so let's introduce ourselves. Stitch said. 

“Wait where are Donkey and Tigger!?” Pua tapped Stitch and pointed in a different direction in a portal-like door where Tigger and Donkey were standing. They stared for a long time and then decided to walk. Donkey got dizzy so he accidentally banged his head on the door and opened it. They ran inside and Stitch and Pua followed, wondering why they were following them into a spinny door. They all kept walking and walking down a long dark hallway that seemed to be going nowhere then all of a sudden they fell through the ground. They all scream while Tigger is laughing.

 “Ok I’m confused weren’t we looking for waffles?” Asked Donkey.

 “We were looking for food and now we are in an underground factory.” Stitch replied. 

“This is an amazing trip, great surprise Donkey!” Tigger yelled. Pua looked at Tigger with an annoyed face and slapped him. They soon noticed that this wasn’t any factory. It was a candy factory with candies that didn’t even exist like jellybean men with skittles as feet and chocolate as hair or a big elephant gumm with kit kats inside and the one that caught everyone’s eye was very shiny teal ice cream. It also caught their attention because the ice cream was in a safe. Then they overheard someone talking. They looked through a vent and saw the big teal aliens but they looked more like nerds. 

“What are they saying, Donkey?” Tigger asked. 

“Not sure but it looks like a meeting or something.” Stitch replied. 

“Today is the day, we will slingshot the special ice cream to planet Earth to make their planet explode so there is no more life in the Milky Way galaxy, aliens can finally rule the galaxy hehe!”

 “Um so that’s not good right?” Donkey Stated. 

“Um yeah! It’s horrible, we need to stop them from taking over the galaxy!” Stitch said. 

“Hey you!” An alien shouted. “What do you think you're doing here!”

 “Run!” Tigger shouted. They all sprinted away from the alien but he was getting closer and they eventually reached a dead end. They all started panicking and then Pua pulled out some of his Kung-Fu skills and knocked out the alien. On the belt that the alien had was a remote, they pressed the button and it opened the spiral looking door and they ran out.

 “Ok that was crazy so how are we going to stop them from destroying Earth!?” Donkey said while he was trying to catch his breath. Pua’s stomach growled and they all know when Pua’s stomach doesn’t eat food when it needs it anything he touches will explode.

 “Wait Pua! I'm gonna need you to do something for us buddy, how long till your stomach explodes?” Stitch asked. Pua held out the number one with his paw. 

“Ok one hour, so we have one hour until we save the world, meaning we find the 

slingshot thingy and yeet Pua onto the ice cream so it will explode and then Pua’s body will form back into a pig and then we can steal their food and fly back to the bahamas and Stitch is driving, let’s go team!” Tigger said. Everyone took a deep breath and followed Tigger as he bounced in a random direction. 59 minutes later.

 “Hey, do you guys know where we are going?” Tigger asked. 

“Oh my goodness Tigger what do you me-.” Stitch stopped as he saw Donkey run away.

 “Hey guys I found a really big thing that looks like a slingshot and a very big clock next to it that says 30 seconds remaining, is that important?” Donkey asked. 

“Yes Donkey, good job, ok so Pua we are going to throw you up there on the ice cream you blow in 15 seconds and the slingshot launches in 13 seconds you got this ice cream. Stitch said. Pua nodded with confidence and then Stitch threw him onto the slingshot. “3...2...1..Boom!” The slingshot exploded and so did Pua. There was ice cream everywhere. When the teal ice cream exploded it made the large grey object a teal grey object and that is why uranus is teal. Pua came back into his pig form, eventually. They had a blast in the Bahamas and it was all over the news about how a big grey object in the solar system has now turned teal.  The lesson of the story is to always check your directions. 

“Adam, Maya dinner is ready” said Abigail. It was almost 8 pm and Maya had school the next day. They came and ate dinner and went to bed. The next morning Adam dropped off Maya at school and when he came back to eat breakfast with Abigail she wasn’t there. She had been acting really weird over the past few months and just leaving and not coming back until midnight. The next morning.“Cock-a-doodle-do!” “Ahhhh” Chester says he was just woken up by Cluck the rooster. It was around 7 in the morning and Chester the chicken was awake and ready to eat. But there was no food in his pen. Adam had just woken up to the sound of Cluck the rooster too. He went downstairs to eat some breakfast but the fridge was empty. He went to ask his wife Abigail where the food was but she was gone still. Adam checked all over the house and finally got down to his farm. He thought there was no way that his wife was at the farm because she hates animals. Adam checked all of the animal pens when he finally got too the chicken coop he realized he forgot to feed the chickens. He had already left food for all of the other animals the day before but it must have slipped his mind to feed the chickens. He went into the garage to get the chicken food and he found a note. “ I am so sorry I had to do this to you, but I just can’t stand your annoying animals anymore. I have already found a new house and a new husband.” -Abigail 

Adam thought this was a joke but he then started putting the pieces together and realized this is where his wife was going all of the time. She was seeing someone else. He knew his wife would never do that to him but she did. He realized that there was no food in the fridge because usually his wife goes grocery shopping but she hadn’t gone in 2 weeks. He went upstairs to the master bedroom and grabbed his wallet and it had one $1.26. He ran downstairs, grabbed the note and looked at the back.“Oh and I also took all the money from your wallet and our bank account, I feel like I need a fresh start and besides I earned all of our money while you were taking care of those dumb animals.” Adam was angry but at least he still had his house. Fast forward a couple of weeks. Adam was eating the last of his cereal which he bought with that one dollar when there was a knock at the door. It was the police. They were there to inform him of the house being sold. Abigail had already sold the house to a new family. Adam was given 24 hours to gather all of his belongings and leave or he would be forced to leave. Adam grabbed 1 pillow, a blanket and all of his animals and then left. He had been walking for ages and lost track of time and it was already dark outside. He brought all of the animals to a parking lot and slept on his pillow and blanket. He woke up the next morning and he realized there was only one option left. Adam had to start eating his animals. One by one everyday he ate one animal. Now there were only 6 chickens and 3 cows.Chester the chicken and Sally the cow were sitting there contemplating what would happen next. They were talking about how they should just eat Adam. 

After a week only Chester the chicken and Sally the cow were left. The next day Sally and Chester were still there. Chester and Sally managed to convince Adam not to eat them. Over a course of another 2 weeks Sally, Chester and Adam became best friends. One day Adam was taking Sally, and Chester around the town when Sally smelled a strong scent of fried chicken. It wasn’t that far away so they walked towards the smell and it was KFC. “Wow,” Chester told Adam. “I wish we could have a restaurant like that and not go around eating food from trash cans just so we can survive. Maybe we could be rich.”While Sally and Chester were sleeping Adam stayed awake thinking about what Chester said. The next morning they saw an abandoned building while exploring the town again. They went inside and it wasn’t completely empty. It looked like an old restaurant which still had tables and chairs, and even a kitchen. They all knew what this meant. 

They were going to use this to build a restaurant. They were all thinking of how they would turn this into a restaurant. Then Sally hears a scream. “AHHHHH” it was Chester. Adam betrayed Chester. Adam got so hungry that he ate Chester. It was only Sally and Adam left now. Sally knew that if there was one wrong move then she would be eaten too. Sally started to think about the restaurant again when she had a great idea. { glass breaking } Sally and Adam broke into the KFC. Sally jumped into the kitchen and cooked the owner alive in the oven. Basically killed the owner and took the lease paper from his desk and fried them in the pan. This restaurant was now signed off to Sally and Adam. “ Hide Hide” yelled Sally. The police were outside because Mcdonalds next door called them for breaking and entering. The police came in and saw all of the broken glass and found the owner dead. They immediately blocked out the store and got a search warrant. Sally and Adam were still in the kitchen. They ran into the walk-in freezer and got stuck inside. Adam started running around in fear and to keep himself warm. When suddenly the door to the freezer opened. It was an officer. Sally jumped on top of him and started strangling him. Sally threw him aside and took his badge and hat. She dressed up as a police officer and just started walking around like she was investigating. Surprisingly they didn’t even notice how there was a whole entire cow that “ looked like a police.” Sally told all of the other officers to leave and she would handle the crime scene. As soon as they left she got Adam out of the freezer and they started to run away.

 The next day rolled around. Adam and Sally were sitting in the parking lot when they found old chalk. They grabbed it and some old cardboard from trash cans and then made signs for their brand new restaurant. After a couple of days it was ready. They did a whole entire deep cleaning of the building and discarded the bodies they killed. Adam hung up the signs, “Chick-fil-A”. It was here. Customers were coming in left and right once they heard of the new restaurant there. They had no food to serve so they improvised. Adam ran all the way back to the parking lot to grab the remains of Chester the chicken. They had to cook Chester to make chicken nuggets. The customers began to ask how they created such a good restaurant and Sally answered “ I once used to have a friend named Chester. He was a great guy but sadly passed away. So in remembrance I made a Chick-fil-A.” 

 “Snoring snoring.” “Boo.” Lyla said. “Ahhh.” Mark says.“ It is the 30th anniversary of Chick-fil-A. Why are you sleeping? We have to go.” Lyla says. “ Oh yeah,” Mark said. They both got in the car and drove to the Chick-fil-A that they have owned for 30 years. 

“Layla guess what, I just had the craziest dream ever.” Mark says. The moral of the story is to never give up and keep trying and you will always get there in the end.

Once upon a time there was a land like yours and mine but just one thing was different.  Emily was your average 15 year old that lives in Methania. Emily had dirt blonde hair and tan skin and was always called the school nerd. For Emily, tomorrow was a big day tomorrow was her 16th birthday. To most people this might mean that you get your driver's license but in Methania it's different. On the morning of someone's 16th birthday they get a mark on their right cheek that classifies them. Emily thought it would be average pink but boy was she wrong.“ Good morning Emily, happy birthday,”  Emily's mom said. Emily shot up and ran to check the mirror, nothing yet. After she got dressed for school the smell of french toast tickled her nose. She ran down the stairs to see a mountain of french toast “ Good morning birthday girl,” her dad and her older brother Matt said. As she took her first bite she heard her mom scream and then she cried “Not this again”. Straight away she ran to the restroom! There was a bright blue mark on her right cheek. She started to hyperventilate. Then she calmed herself  down then she remembered she had her school mark cheak today. Her parents were freaked out so she just went to school. 

 After walking for a while she saw the school loom in front of her. Then a paper ball hit her left cheek, not this again. She turned her head to see the football players with their annoying perky girlfriends. As she was about to talk they all ran away screaming like buffoons. After that something was really up when she walked into school she put her hood up so no one would see her blue mark. Then she saw her best friend Riley. Before Riley had the time to say anything Emily yanked her into the bathroom then closed the door. “What is going on and by the way happy birthday but what is going on?” Emily knew that Riley could help her since her mom worked at the study of marks. Emily took down her hood at first Riley was confused , but as Emily turned to her right she started to understand. Then she started to bow. The whole thing was confusing. As she walked out she forgot to put her hood up. As soon as she walked out anyone and everyone that had a mark started to bow. As other people started to follow her she ran into Mr. Faleps room. Then she noticed that she was alone. She sat there for a few minutes thinking what was going on. Next over the head speaker announced that everyone had to come to the cafeteria. On no she forgot the mark check she splashed some makeup on and ran out the door. When she got there she went in line. As she was waiting she noticed that everyone was acting normal around her. Then it was her turn since no one but Riley knew it was her birthday. People just assumed that she wasn’t sixteen yet. She got through the test. She didn’t know where to go so she started following the boy in front of her. She went into a room and she started to doze off. After a few minutes she went out of her fantasy to a cold splash of water on her face. She whipped it off and right after she wiped it off she noticed the mistake everyone was looking at her. She was called up to a stage and walked to the back stage. She up in shock as a man in tox told her that the blue mark ment that she was queen of the land ,and the only person as high on mark structure was Amirinda the Goddess of blue.  Soon she met Mark, apparently he was the king. Mark was 16 and really nice. He had the red mark and also ruled with the god of red Anthony.This was so much she tried to run away but someone stopped her. She was getting dizzy then she fainted. 

As she woke up Mark pulled her up and tried to calm her down. Next they walked into a dimly lit room and sat down. She fought and fought to get out but after a bit she gave up. The same woman that stopped her explained that they were known king and queen, also of the land Mark and Emily had to get married. This put Emily in shock and she passed out again this time she woke up with a cold splash of water. Now she was told that she had to get ready to be on TV to announce what happened. Before she went to put her dress on that she was given she went into the bathroom the puke. After she put her dress on she went to go be on tv hooray. The whole thing bored her until she was told that she had to pick a royal advisor. She picked Riley of course. Once the whole show was done Emily sat down and thought “ what kind of sick joke is this?” Before her thoughts could answer her question she heard a sort of humming. She looked behind her shoulder and there was a woman with dark brown hair,  fair skin , blue eyes,  and she was wearing the most elegant blue dress. Before Emily had time to take this all in she said in a high and soft voice  “Hi I’m Amirinda the goddess of blues each mark has a god or goddess.” Emily replied “ So do I worship you or something or what?”.  Amirinda laughed and explained that she was here to help her with her decision also she would work with Anthony the god of red. She also warned that  our country was on the verge of war. 

This was a lot to take in , but the thing that bothered her most was that Methania was on the verge of war. After  that long day she just went home like normal hoping that her parents would be normal. Finally when she got home she unlocked the door, and walked inside. She looked around and saw no one. “Mom , dad I’m home”Emily called out. Then she was surprised when her family walked around the corner with a birthday cake. Finally it was like things were back to normal. After that Riley came over since it was a Friday and they got to sleepover. They sat back and watched pizza. When Emily looked to Rileys right cheek she saw a silver mark “what this doesn’t make sense  before this she had a pink mark.” Emily asked “ Riley what happened to your mark? I thought you had a pink mark”. Riley replied “well when you choose me to be your assistant that a whole other mark a royals assistant gets the silver mark no matter what they had before.” Before they could continue they heard a knock on the door. Emily went to open it and saw Mark. Emily opened the door “Mark what are you doing here?” “You and Riley have to come with me now.  You remember the war that's about to happen, well we have to decide tonight.” Emily and Riley quickly got dressed in the first clothes they could find and went with Mark.

 When they got there they saw the 3 gods, also Mark's assistant Bob was there waiting for them. They sat down and then Amirinda started “We have out off this war for many years if we say that we don’t want war they will come in and destroy us but if we go to war we will lose.”  Suddenly Emily had an idea “What if we let the devils fight for us.”  There is a god in Methania that has control of the black mark or the devil mark.         “ You want us to release Satan” Mark almost screamed. “No we will have the people with the black mark fight for us also all they know how to do is fight”  stated Emily. Even though everyone thought it was a good idea and it would work it could be very dangerous. After hours of arguing they decided that it was risky but they didn’t have another chance.  Emily and  Riley went into the TV room to make the announcement while Mrak and Bob figured out the war plan.  After a few hours of endless waiting to get a call. After hours of fear they heard that the enemy had surrendered. After that day thugs went back to normal. Well as normal as things can be when you have the blue mark.   

Once upon a time there was a small village that was settled in a forest. The people there were nice and they all had a role. Some people ran the shops and some people were the stay at home moms. There was typically only one school leader or teacher. However there was one role that was very important. The hunters played the most important role. They had to be both brave and strong to have this job. The hunters had to go into a certain part of the forest to find good food. However there was also a creature that people claimed lived in a cave nearby. They would say that it has “ Long sharp claws” and “teeth that could split a rock in two because they are so sharp.” Not many people believed them at first, but then there would be loud growls coming from the forest. Over time people got more information on what this creature looked like. They said that it had “a snake like tongue” and “Multi color fur”. Someone once said that “It has eyes red like the color of blood”. This creature was believed to be larger than anything anyone has seen. This creature had picked up the name of “Cave Monster”.

One day a young boy around the age of 14 started living in the village. He had short dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes. He wore old, tattered clothes and no shoes at all. His name was Sylvester. No one ever saw him with his parents so they assumed he didn’t have any and was living on his own here. This wasn’t a problem of course it was just, they needed someone that they could talk to about his behavior. The school had tried to get him to join some of their lessons but he refused and went about his day. Typically you could find Sylvester traveling on his own, never in just one place. Everywhere he went he caused trouble. He enjoyed playing pranks on people and scaring them. Every so often you could see him running into the village looking all torn up and beaten and he would exclaim, “The monster is coming!” everyone would believe him because they were terrified of what would happen if they didn’t believe him. He did this so often that soon, everyone knew he was lying. The village got so fed up with his lies and pranks that they decided to return the favor.

One day when Sylvester was strolling on a path near the town humming a tune when two people appeared in front of him. He stopped humming and looked down at them confused. They both looked terrified and beaten up. Growing a little more concerned than usual he got on his knees so he could be eye level with them and asked them what happened. “T-the c-c-cave-” one of them began but was cut off by the sound of loud footsteps nearing them. Somewhere in the distance a loud growl could be heard. 

As Sylvester was helping the people up and brushing leaves from their hair and clothes a large silhouette of a creature appeared on the path in front of them. Terrified that the cave monster was actually coming they ran into town pleading to everyone that they must go and hide because the cave monster was coming. 

Everyone thought this was just another one of Sylvesters jokes. “You don’t understand this is not a joke!” he cried, fearing that no one would believe him. 

“I know I have lied to you before but this time I promise I’m being honest!” he wailed. 

“Wow you really upgraded your acting skills. I must say good job, this is really believable.” one of the shop owners said. 

“W-What? No this is real! You have to believe me! Your lives could be at risk!” Sylvester said growing more and more concerned. Behind him the trees bend and sway, meaning that the monster is nearing the village. Still no one would believe him so soon he gave up. 

“You won’t believe me,” he began, 

“That's fine. I am going to go hide and when that thing comes don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Sylvester stomped away in anger and hid in the school. “How could they not believe me!” he said fuming. Then he heard terrified screams and cries. He sat there sitting in the far corner waiting for it to stop. Soon enough all he heard was silence. He waited to leave the school in case the monster was still there. Eventually he mustered up the courage to leave and go check on everyone. As he rounded the corner he could see people scattered about the village. He bent down to check on the school owner. As he bent down he could hear a faint snicker come from somewhere. Then a smile spread across his face as he stood back up. “Well played everyone, well played. You really fooled me.” he said. He had realized that they had all just played one big prank on him for payback. Soon everyone began standing up and brushing themselves off. Some began to fix their shops and help their kids. Two people holding a cave monster costume came out of the woods. This event had really taught Sylvester a lesson. Soon enough he was enrolling in school and helping out around the town. He was honest from that day on. The lesson he learned was that he should always be honest or else something bad might happen. 

Once upon a time, there was a floating island. It was a small island. It had about 100 people on it. There were two kids, Tom and Jerry, who have been gone for many years. Many people believe that they were taken by aliens one night. That night was a mysterious night and the ocean was calm, the sky was green and there was no wind.  All of the sudden the ocean waves got big. It got windy and an alien rover landed on their island and the two kids were sucked right up by the allian rover. They have not been seen since. Their ruler was king Shrek; he had been the king of this island for 50 years. Many people like him as a king. He had always loved the landscape and the view of the ocean. 

One day he decided he needed more power for the city. He knew exactly what he needed to make it a better city, a magical diamond that could control everything for them. But he knew the closest magical diamond was over 500 miles away. He wanted to see if there was one any closer so he sent a message to an island 300 miles away that wasn't always trustworthy but he wanted to see anyways. When the other king got the message,he said, “I have it here on this island but you are going to have to come get it.” So king Shrek set out on a search for the diamond.

When they got to the island that had the diamond, they walked up to the castle and knocked on the door. The butler answered and took him to the king “I’m here for that magical diamond you said you had” Shrek said “what are you talking about,I have no magical diamond on this island” said the other king'' you said you did” Shrek said “well I don't,Said the other king “Men escort him right now” he said. When Shrek got back on his boat he decided to go 200 more miles to the place that he knew had one because an island nearby got one from there. So 200 more miles he went. 

When they got to the king he went to the diamond store room where they kept all of them. When he brought it out it was as bright as the sun and as blue as the sky. The king gave it to Shrek and Shrek took it out to his boat. He set off to take a 500 mile journey back home but when he was about 100 miles away from their island they hit a storm with waves as big as school busses. It tipped their 15ft boat like a bottle cap and the diamond sank 2000ft to the bottom of the ocean, But luckily he got back on the boat“I don't know what are we going to do now” Shrek said to himself ``we're going to have to build our own somehow.” 

When he  got back to the island they made an announcement that they lost the diamond into the Ocean and were going to have to build their own. So the next day they dug deep to find the special power that was buried deep. Many people believe aliens brought it to the island. They got a bucket of it then went to dig into the mountain to get oil for the mixture. They put those things together into a mold and let it dry while it was drying. In the middle of the island, they built a stand for the diamond. When the diamond was dry they put it into the stand and Bam! As loud as a trash truck the diamond lit up and made strikes everywhere people started flying, disappearing ,shooting ice, any magical power you can think of. The tree and grass even started growing like crazy and there was one bolt that went up to the sky and connected to the aliens, people believe  home because they were the ones who brought the special power to the island. 

One night 500 years later there was a very mysterious thunderstorm that was waving up the ocean like a wave pool and there were lightning strikes everywhere. After 1 hour the diamond started shooting power streaks everywhere that were putting out lights  and when Shrek came out to see what is was he saw a alien rover landing on the island and there it was the same alien rover coming down to that took tom and Jerry over 800 years standing under the space rover they flew up to king Shrek. Where have you all been all this time “oh” tom said “it just felt like a long dream.” King Shrek took them to bed. The next morning he announced that they are going to be moving away from the island Because of all the aliens and they don't want anyone to be taken away. So the whole city took boats over to Florida on the beach to live there happily ever after.

500 years later Shrek took Tom and Jerry to see if the island was still there when they got there they realized it was completely gone they went back to there beach to live forever. It is believed by many people that why the Bermuda triangle makes boats and planes disappear is because whenever the aliens come down it make the diamond under water completely crazy and the magical power shoots at ships and planes and takes out all off there instrument and then they have no clue were they are and get lost out in the Ocean for ever and ever. The end.

 

Once upon a time there was a big fat pig named Jeff. Jeff was a referee for a tug of war company. He was a pro at this; he had been doing it since he was boarn. One normal day (as he thought ) he was playing a game for Bob the zebra, Tim the goat, and Chonk the gorilla. The teams were Bob and Tim v.s. Chonk. 

This was a huge game (not bigger than Georgia vs Auburn). The teams were getting ready, then the bird told everyone that the rope was missing.“Boo” ``Come on ``''Nooo” nobody liked that the rope was missing. Then when everyone started leaving, Tim said “Well let's just use Jeff of course everybody liked that. Except for Jeff. Chonk grabbed his tail and Bob and Tim grabbed his head and then Jeff screamed NOOOOOO which sounded like GOOOOOO.

Then both pulled and Jeff screamed. He got pulled further and further, he got pinker by the millisecond. The further they pulled the pinker he got. The crowd was going wild. The gorilla was defedebtly on a roll he was totally going to win. He was stronger than 50 muscular men.

Then the bird flew in with a package that was bigger than the toaster. It said Special Delivery. The bird opened the package and there was the rope. Even though the rope was there nobody would stop pulling. They were determined to finish the game and win. When Chonk was ready to be done he used his last burst of energy and Boom Chonk won everybody was happy well almost everyone.

Jeff was Pinker than cotton candy and his tail was swirler than a cinnamon roll. He did not look good then Chonk on the other hand was looking great. He was going bananas. So to this day pigs have always been pink with swirly tails. This all concludes, look for something really thoroughly.

Once upon a time, in a land far away there were 3 friends . Magic school bus aka Dabus, Rhino and Ja. These friends were funny and weird actually they were just weird. Rhino is strong and big, Ja is small, fast and very athletic Dabus was big, strong and popular. School was starting in a day and they haven't done a piece of summer homework yet and they weren't planning to. 

“Do you know we have homework?” said Dabus . 

“Man who cares anyway” said Rhino. 

“Well we better get to work” said Ja. 

                   NOPE said the boys as they were never planning too. The boys’   night  consisted of video games ,Capri suns and pizza rolls. 

“You know tomorrow's  Friday the 13th,” said one of them . 

 “I AM SO  SCARED”, said the other boys sarcastically. The boys went to bed not scared about tomorrow if only they knew.

BEEP BEEP their alarm clock rang. No one in this land had any   parents  .   Which meant the kids had to do everything. This land always had perfect weather and was just stunning. You could not ask for any better weather.

  “Get up “said Dabus.  

Dabus had made them hot pockets and wrote on the wall the  1300 days of eating hot pockets. They had a basketball hoop outside where Ja was ready to get some shots up. So they went to school walking there scooping for any new kids. They were starting 8th grade and weren’t ready for the struggle for  it. They haven't done any work, read the assigned book or gone to learn from their new teachers because all they did was play video games. As they go into school half awake they walk in as a group and think  they saw shrek and a donkey. 

“Do you see that?” says Ja .

“Hello,” says Shrek. 

Sherk made fun of the boys for their clothes even though they had  Gucci on.

Now awake the boys have a strong hatred for him . Who would hate shrek am I  right. The boys go to class and realize  that they are in school and not playing video games.  Next ,The boys were Writing on their page My Summer then the date Friday the 13th. A student exclaimed that it was Friday the 13th.

             “That's right,” the rhino remembered. 

Shrek and Donkey had an evil smirk like they had a plan. They pass through their classes easily now making it to lunch. There was a table for 5 the boys then took up 3 of those seats leaving 2 open. Donkey and Shrek didn't have anywhere to sit so they asked to sit there. 

“Hey, can I sit there?” said Donkey. No, said the boys. Donkey and Shrek storm off if only they knew to be kind. They are still at their table  talking, having an urge to be kind there but it's over and they can’t make it up

  Finally, When the boys get home they want to put on costumes and go  into  the woods. Shrek was stalking them and heard all of it .  Shrek went to his castle where Fianoa  was talking about what happened at school . Shrek tells Donkey the plan . Later that evening the boys walk down to the woods  seeing multiple clown costumes and they were quite scared . 

“ Let's go back,” said Dabus. 

“You can,'' the other boys said. 

They kept going until they see  a Unicorn named fart nuggets. Guarding the woods, saying an old myth that I kid died here because the boy said that math was the best class. Shrek then had to do what had to be done and said it’s English.Which was true. Shrek was here for revenge. As the unicorn lets them through  they walk into a house where the door shuts. Lights off and scared the  boys run and try to bang on the window . A voice says all I wanted was a seat. The boys fall Unconscious as they wake up all tied to a seat where they can't move. The killer then reveals himself as Shrek. Shrek says whoever  makes the best myth get to go free the boys team up and write this story that you are reading they all are let free but the day still haunts them. The boys have learned to always be kind even if they have been mean to you.

Moral of the story: Always be kind to everyone even if it's someone you don't like. 

Once upon a time on Pluto's biggest crater, Oscar the 37 legged snake was walking around breaking people's toys and stealing their secrets. Everyone was crying and screaming. Everyone was so mad at Oscar no one could stand him any more. Then one brave little boy walked up to him and said “Stop making everyone mad” and then Oscar said 

“Who is going to stop me? It's not like Zeus is going to show up”.

Just as Oscar said that there was a bunch of smoke and the sky lit up and in the middle of it all was an asteroid and Zeus was on top of it. Zeus said in a booming voice 

“Oscar I have heard that you have been a bad boy if you keep this up your 30 legs no wait 37 legs will be gone forever”. 

Oscar replied “I am so so so sorry it will never happen again”. 

“It better not” said Zeus. 

Next a bunch more smoke lights came out of nowhere and before you know it Zeus is gone.

About 2,500 light years later Oscar could not stand to break one toy so he did. It felt so good so he broke a few more then more he eventually broke all the toys. Then a bunch of smoke lights came out of nowhere. Another asteroid and Zeus was on it 

“Oscar I warned you” Zeus boomed.

 Oscar said quietly “please don’t take my legs away please”

 “I have no choice but to do it, I can't go against my word”.

 After a moment of silence Zeus recited a spell “fish fish live in lakes lake lake take pegs take your 30 legs. WAZA Oscar dropped to 7 legs. Then more smoke and lights and just like that Zeus was gone.

Since Zeus accidentally only took 30 legs Oscar still had seven legs left. Oscar thought to himself if Zeus thinks he took all my legs then I can do whatever I want. So Oscar started stealing secrets and breaking toys. Everyone thought this was the way life was going to be for the rest of their life, so they tried to get used to it. Nobody was able to stand it. They tried to hide their toys but Oscar would always find them. Zeus heard all this commotion from Neptune. 2 days later a bunch more smoke lights came out of nowhere and Zeus was on a comet this time then Zeus boomed 

“ Bill and Kevin Bill and Kevin Bill and seven kill the seven”. 

Then Oscars 7 legs were gone. 

In the end everyone that lived on Pluto lived happily ever after. This is the reason why snakes have no legs. If it weren't for Oscar snakes would still have legs to this day. The moral of the story is to treat others the way you want to be treated.

A long, long, long, long, long time ago they loved the gods. They had power, they had strength, they had wisdom and they had love. There was the king of the gods Zeus. He was the god of thunder and he always got what he wanted. Now he was caring and he had wisdom but even though he had that he did not have the time to raise children. Now he had time to make children he went to mortals, goddesses, nymphs just about anything! He never really cared for them he just would have a baby and once the woman is pregnant he would say 

“OK, got to go! Have fun raising the child all by yourself!” 

Now the other gods and goddess just went round and did the same thing. And by doing that humans were made, trees, fruit, fire, animal, dance, song were all made with the help of the gods. They felt satisfied so they went to do what they did best. Hera the goddess of marriage helped with marriage. Hades the god of the underworld got more souls. Artemis went hunting.

Dionysus went back to partying and making wine. But Zeus, he was never satisfied. But he tried to be. He would watch the mortals have parties but none of them really seemed to be having fun. Then his eyes opened up. The mortals looked like they had no sadness, no happiness, no fear, no courage. But most of all hope. They had no feelings. Zeus could not do a thing about it. Then he heard the music of Apollo. The god of music, archery, and the sun. Zeus heard the music and noticed Apollo was high in the sky. Near the stars almost. And Zeus hid in the clouds to see what Apollo was up to. Apollo was looking up playing the finest, most comforting and gentle music Zeus has ever heard. Just as Zeus was about to come up to Apollo, Crystals started to sprinkle down from the stars. Zeus stood back to watch. Apollo stood up as well. Soon the crystals started to combine and form a body. The body was of a woman. Not just any woman but a goddess, Opal. Opal was very gentle and she is very rarely seen. She is the goddess of crystals. She opened her eyes and when she did Apollo and Zeus saw how they shined like a diamond and had such life to them. Apollo was the first to speak 

“Hello Opal. I am Apollo. I will not harm you, I will not force you to do anything. Please do not be shy around me.”

 

Opal smiled a bit and Apollo bowed and reached out his hand to her. Opal took his hand and with her touch Apollo slowly had crystals appear all over him then his harp turned to crystal his clothes had a bit of crystal hanging from them and then Opal giggled a bit. At that moment it was clear to Zeus. Apollo had found a remarkable discovery. Zeus thought to himself

“I am the king of the gods everything and anything they find is made is mine….So Opal will be mine”

  Zeus mind started to rap around the thought of how to win opal. Hera his queen knew in a second that Zeus was going to try and win Opal's heart so she started to think of a way to make sure Opal would not fall for Zeus. As soon as Apollo left, Opal started to go back to the stars. Hera rushed over and grabbed opal by the hand she said

“Dear goddesses, I am Hera the queen of the gods, and goddesses. I was walking by when I saw you and I thought that we could be friends?”

 Opal being the sweet woman she is, stopped and sat down to talk with Hera. They talked and talked. They talked about earth, about the other gods and goddesses then she planted a quick thought about Apollo and Opal interpreted. 

“Excuse me, I hate to interrupt but could you tell me more about Apollo?”

 Hera smirked and talked about Apollo's powers, how he came to Mt Olympus, then she told about Apollo's family. 

“Then of course there is his father . . . Zeus my husband the king of the gods.” Opal looked confused for a second and then she spoke. “I heard about Zeus . . . Could you tell me if what I heard is true?”

Hera realized that Opal knew all the bad stuff about Zeus. All the good he has done,all the things he has made. Opal knows everything that Hera planned to tell. Hera kept her calm and found an excuse to leave. Then Hera went to her room and she vanished for a long time. Meanwhile, Zeus had got himself into an argument with Apollo. 

“Apollo you are wise you strong you are a spitting image of me! I would give you my kingdom. I would give you all the mortal girls for you to be friends with. But I must tell you Opal is dangerous she needs to be friends with a god who can protect himself from her powers” Apollo heard and spoke

 “Father, she is gentle! She is not dangerous, you're just playing your game! I have seen it many times! You just want her for yourself!”

 Zeus and Apollo kept fighting and as they fought the sky was all grey and the clouds thunder and the music of the world no matter what sounded angry and off tune. Their fighting was fueled by their anger. The gods and goddesses realized that and they needed to do was end it so they pushed the fight down to earth so they could have it quiet and could produce the happiness they needed. But little did they know that that was a big mistake. Zeus and Apollo were so powerful that they had an aura of anger and the humans came near the aura and there was born anger. The humans breathed the air of it and soon there first emotion. They turned against each other for all they felt was rage. Zeus yelled

  “Apollo! As your father and as your king I order you to no longer think of Opal or see Opal and that is final!”

Apollo put his hands in a fist and headed back to Olympus. Ignoring his father. But before he got to Olympus a single tear fell on a mortal who was beating up another mortal. Soon he was sad. He saw what was happening and that single mortal felt sorry for what was happening as he walked around. He bumped into more humans and they too were sad soon sadness was made and then they were scared. With those 3 emotions that were inside dozens upon dozens of mortals. the emotions in them fought. A man could go from crying to being too scared before you could breath. Zeus saw what happened and he thought he could make them have good emotions so he went to Opal and introduced himself. But even though Opal looked happy and was still kind, she could not stop hearing a tune so sad that not even her heart could stand being happy with that tune. She waits till all gods and goddess are asleep and she separates herself into crystals and goes among the stars where she loots like a star as her bits of crystal search Olympus for who is playing that tune. She finally finds the player. Apollo is leaning against an old dead tree and plays such a sad tune that she can't smile. Opal comes down and she comes back together and she talks with Apollo and tries to cheer him up. Soon he smiles again and he plays his music so cheerful that the North wind can't help but carry the music across the North and shares the music with the South who plays it across the South and shares it with the West who plays it and shares witty the East. Soon the whole world hears and feels the music and the mortals smile. Happiness was created then excitement emotion after emotion. As the years go by, Opal visits make Apollo feel new emotions that the wind carries. Soon there is jealousy because Apollo is jealous of how Opal talks about Zeus in such a happy way. Then there is disgust when Opal talks of what weird thing she can get Zeus to do. Now the mortals sing with happiness in their heart cry for the friends they lost. Soon Zeus found Apollo talking with Opal. He was furious right as he was about to walk up to them. Hades stopped Zeus.

 “Brother I have news...My kingdom is crowded by souls. You mortals are dying and I don't have time to get the sun god to make more humans. What should We do?” 

Zeus realized that he was so focused on Opal he did not tend to his kingdom. And Apollo was so busy talking with Opal that he did not go down to earth and help the mortals. Zeus knew what he had to do. But could he do it? He knew Opal must die. But who do you kill somebody who is so kind hearted and who you're in love with? He needed to tend to the mortals first and see if he could help. Just then Hera came by. She knew what her husband was thinking and she knew that she would gladly do so. Just as Apollo started to leave to get fruit for Opal. Hera come with one of her husbands lighting bolts

  “This will put an end to the suffering! Zeus will be mine once more!” Hera said

Just when Apollo left, Opal turned around and Hera at that moment saw Opal was with child. Hera could not kill somebody with a child. So she grabbed pal and took her down to the sea of Poseidon. Opal tried to get loose but she could not. Hera went to the very bottom where not even Posiden dared to go. Opal realized she could just break herself into parts and she did just then Hera threw the lighting bolt to the ground and Opal was electrocuted. Hera escaped just before the bolt hit the ground. Opal remained in pieces. The lighting bolt enabled her to ever be whole again. For if she tried to, she would be electrocuted. So opal remained here she became sadder and sadder than soon she finally gave birth and her child was at first in pieces as well then soon her pieces floated together and she came to land and there she was whole. Aphrodite was her name. She walked among portals and she sang songs that were so sweet and lovely that all the mortals came to hear. Their love was made. Apollo was sad but deep down he thought Opal had a good reason to leave. Hera could not even be mad because the music was so sweet. But Zeus.. Well he saw her beauty and saw that the gods went crazy for her. So he realized if he had just stayed away from opal Hera would not have put her in the water Apollo would not have been sad. None of this would have happened if he just focused on the mortals. So that is how emotions were created. The moral is Stick to what you need to do, not what you want to do.

Once upon a time there lived a very handsome, lazy king. He was King Garfield. He lived in a great, floating castle. He lived above the world of pets. Garfield was always a very picky eater. He would ask his personal chef, Zach, to make him all sorts of different dishes to eat. 

“Sir, sir, it is time for breakfast,” said Zach. 

“Ugh, what time is it?!” exclaimed Garfield.

 “It's 1 o’clock sir.”

 “Fine, fine bring me my meal.” 

“Yes sir,” said Zach as he rushed into the kitchen.

 “Sir I have made a meal called Turkey Delight,” said Zach as he opens the cloche. 

“It is an overnight baked puff pastry filled with perfectly seasoned turkey soup,”. 

Garfield's eyes lit up with surprise. “Alright it sounds quite nice,” Garfield said as he picked up his fork and knife, cuts it and eats it.

 “That is.. disgusting. Get it away at once.”

 “Ye-ye yes sir,” Zach said as he slumped back to the kitchen and threw away the food.

Here's the thing, Zach has been trying for years to get the right meal for Garfield but he could never figure out one that he would enjoy. 

Months passed but no luck for Zach. He tried and tried and tried so hard. But it got to the point where Garfield started turning down his food before trying it. Chicken Delight, I'm good, Swedish fish, Eww no, Puff Pastry with chicken, so unoriginal no. Zach began to become weary of the same old routine. Finally after days of working and planning Zach created a meal he thought would show Garfield he was a great chef! He titled it lasagna. It was ground beef, diced onions, crushed garlic cloves, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, dried basil leaves, italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, flat noodles, ricotta cheese, 1 egg, mozzarella cheese, and grated parmesan cheese. It was Zach's greatest meal ever. We walked up to Garfield with his head up. “This will surprise you,” said Zach, “my greatest dish yet, lasagna,”. “Eww that looks disgusting,” said Garfield. At that very moment Zach’s heart shattered to a million pieces. Days of work, frustration, blood, sweat, and tears all for nothing. 

“That is it! I've worked for days! Trying to come up with a meal for you to enjoy! And all I get is a EW! I'm quitting,” said Zach as he stormed out.

Two weeks passed. Garfield began to miss Zach. Garfield realized Zach wasn’t just his chef he was his friend. His only friend is gone. On the other hand Zach went down from the floating kingdom. All he had was a box of kitchen supplies and all his “failed” recipes. He found an old broken down store. He began to fix it up. He made the back room his house and made the front room a restaurant. After 3 weeks of working on it he was finally done. He began to put up signs for his restaurant and began to gather employees. It was finally opening night, there was a mile of a line just for people to get into his restaurant. He felt like for once he was finally getting the recognition he deserved. They began to let people inside. As expected Zach’s most popular dish was lasagna. When he walked through the eating area all he could hear was “This is great!”, “Mmmmmm,”, “We're going to eat here more often!”, “Yummy!”. He felt so proud.

 A month passed. Business was booming! Every night reservations were filled! He was making a lot more money then he did working for Garfield and he liked what he did much better. Eventually word got around to the kingdom that there was an amazing new restaurant. So, Garfield decided to visit not knowing Zach was head chef. Finally the day of Garfield's reservation. He came down from his floating kingdom.

Garfield walked to the restaurant.

 “Do you have a reservation?” ask the employee.

“Yes I do. Should be under the name Garfield,”.

''Alrighty your table is ready please follow me,”.

They gave him a table in the very corner for one. He sat down and began to look through the meal list. He noticed that all the names of the dishes seemed very familiar. Shortly the waiter came back and asked 

“What would you like to drink?”

“I’ll just have a chicken smoothie,” said Garfield “Also what is your most popular dish?”

“Our most popular dish is lasagna, our most popular salad is turkey delight salad.”

“What is in those?”

“Lasagna is flat, expanded pasta noodle with parmesan cheese, meat sauce and Italian sausage. Our turkey delight salad is a crisp mixture of different cabbages and vegetables with bits of turkey and puff pastry squares.”

“That all sounds quite nice, I’ll take both,” said Garfield.

Just minutes later they came back with his salad. 

“Here you go, your lasagna will be ready in about 15 minutes,” stated the waiter

“Thank you,” said Garfield

He looked down at the salad. He whispered “That looks disgusting, but I will not embarrass myself in a public restaurant so I  must try it,”. He picked up his fork and took a bite. His eyes widened. He continued to chew and as soon as he was finished eating the lasagna was ready. He kept his cool and took a bite. His eyes widened even more. Five minutes later he was finished and his plate was clean. The waiter walked up and asked 

“Well how was the food?”

Garfield looked up with a serious face. 

“I loved it! May I please talk to the head chef?”

“Why of course I’ll get him right now!”.

The waiter walked away and came back a minute later with a figure behind him.“Meet chef Zach!”

“Zach?” asked Garfield

“Garfield, what are you doing here?” asked Zach

“Well I came here in hopes of finding a new chef. I hear this place was really good, I just want to say I'm sorry. I really did love your food! Would you like to come back to my kingdom and work for me again?”

Zach looked puzzled 

“Garfield. No. You didn’t pay me enough, or treat me well, or even try my food!”

“Yes I know but I'm sorry!”

“Garfield, I'm not working for you. But I do have a solution.”

“Im listening” said Garfield

“I will send you a bunch of frozen lasagnas each week and all you have to do is microwave it,”.

“Yes thank you so much!”. 

The moral of the story is don’t underestimate people and always be kind!

Colortheisisie the color god was busy making the new color for the gods, purple. “Hm, I should make this with…..” he mumbled.  In his suite he had a ton of random colors on the floor and papers all over. Beautiful drawings strewn the suit, and a canvas rested on a wall. Colortheisisie’s job was to make colors for gods. He struggled with the gods since Zeus the meeting maker and god of lighting made it hard for Colortheisisie to work.

“Maybe add some red to that blue boss!” said his servant, Colortheisisie’s two servants were Micky the mice, and Felix the kitten. They both helped him with ideas. They also confronted him when he watched “Jimmy Neutron” because he is scary.

“Well, fine.” said Colortheisisie after a long silence. He added a few drops of red into a blue and saw that he had made a beautiful color!   Colortheisisie began to think that only the gods should have this color, but then he realized that he and the gods are the only things with color. 

Colortheisisie shoved that thought away and began making a presentation for the next big meeting of the gods.  Every single night he made new and new colors, colors so vibrant that they hurt his eyes to look at them! Finally the day I'm going to present to the gods! He thought. The meeting place this week was at Zeus’s palace in the sky. When he made it to the meeting place, Zeus the lighting god and maker of all meetings said 

“Today we have 3 new presentations for us to see!” all the gods clapped and cheered. 

“ First,” said Zeus “ we have august gloop who has a speech on how the chocolate in his  duch bathtub suite are too not chocolate.” 

After a long presentation about tridents it was finally his turn to present all his new colors! 

Zeus stood up again and spoke in his deep bold voice, “Now we have Colortheisisie the color god, and he is here to show us all his new colors!” 

“Hi everybody!” said Colortheisisie. “Who wants to see some colors!?” All the gods cheered. 

“First we have Red!” said Colortheisisie. Soon he went through Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and finally Purple! The gods clapped and Colortheisisie bowed at approval. He had done it! He had  impressed the gods! 

“Wait, wait, wait!” said Zeus, “We still have one more presentation!” “Finally……...ME!!!” said Zeus as he took out a chicken nugget launcher. All the gods clapped and yelled and cheered at Zeus, while Colortheisisie took a nugget to the head! “Oh wait I forgot Zeus is the chicken nugget god too!!!” Colortheisisie told himself. As he sat down he saw 5 shreck, the god of onions flying overhead but he thought that was a concussion. As a shreck passed it screamed 

“SHREK HAVE LAYERS LIKE ONION!”

“Gee whiz!” said Colortheisisie, even though nobody could hear him over the claps.  Zeus talked about how he had created a world and it was thriving already, he said they just took the first photograph a few hours ago. 

“Now, now.” said Zeus “Who has questions?” Colortheisisie’s hand shot up. 

“What?” said Zeus, Zeus wasn't a fan of Colortheisisie. 

“Could I add color to your world?” Gasps escaped from the crowd of gods. 

“Only gods can have color!” Zeus shot at Colortheisisie. 

“It would be irresponsible to give my world color that is only fit for the gods!” “Fine.” said Colortheisisie even though he knew that he would give it color, he needed to spread it all around the universe! Only one other god had tried to defy Zeus and that was “goofy” the god of being a dufus, he was banished to be a mortal creature named goofy who would be an actor with Mickey Mice’s cousin Mickey mouse.

Colortheisisie took a nive bite out of a 6ft onion shrek gave him as a gift on his birthday.  I'm not goofy, he thought, and so for 6 nights and 6 days he worked hard planning how he would give Zeus's World color. On the final day Colortheisisie had a plan. When darkness fell on the city and the light left for the night he would sneak into the meating place and place color on all the things in that tiny world! 

The next day he waited, and waited all day until all light left the night sky. Colortheisisie was about to leave his home when he heard a voice 

“B- boss… Should we be doing this?” It was Felix the kitten. “Yeah boss?” Mickey Mice too. Colortheisisie thought for a second before saying 

“Yes, those people in Zeus's world need color, they need us to light’n their life up!” 

“O- ok boss.” said Mickey Mice. “Let's do this!”

They sighlenty went to the meeting place, and stood over the round object. It was only about ½ feet high a ½ feet across. Glass casing surrounded it. Colortheisisie carefully took it off. Behind him Felix the Kitten handed him a bag. Inside were 6 round spheres of color. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. At the top of each one was a small hole.  Carefully Colortheisisie placed them in his hand and said

 “colorina mina allofia.” The orbs floated and while Zeus's creation gained color the orbs color died out. “It- its working!” he said. Sadly it did not fully work, only surrounding half of Zeus’s creation in color.

All of a sudden, he heard a yelp from behind him. Colortheisisie turned to see Zeus standing there Felix the Kitten in one hand, dangling by a foot. Mickey was in the other silently weeping. 

“WHAT DID I SAY?!” screamed Zeus. “YOU DID NOT FOLLOW MY RULES AND NOW YOU WILL PAY!” Zeus bellowed. Zeus snapped and Colortheisisie’s stomach growled. 

“Uh oh, too many chicken nuggies….” Colortheisisie said as he clutched his belly!

“YOU HAVE NOW BEEN BANISHED AS A GOD!” yelled Zeus! At that moment Colortheisisie exploded on Zeus’s world and it beamed in blue and green colors. All the color in the world was made by Colortheisisie’s blood and guts!

Grim but beautiful this world's color came and flushed out the black and white blandness. Since then photos before that have been black and white, but after full of vibrant color that is amazing to look at. As for Colortheisisie, every color that you see has some of his blood, every dye, flower, and tree you see that has color is all from him. If you need proof just look at old photos, do they have color? >:3
