Hello, dear readers. It’s been a long time since I came to tell a story. I’m probably older than you. I’m a typewriter. You're probably wondering how I got here: A worn-out, old typewriter on a fancy table… It doesn’t go together, does it? Let me tell you the story of how I got here.

Once, I was in a trash can. Flies buzzing next to my ear. Nothing exciting happened there, I’m telling you. Nothing. Not until Lily found me. A hero she was, rescuing me from that horrible place. As a small light entered the darkness of the trash can, I knew someone was opening the lid. “I’M <HERE> BEEP I’M HERE <BEEP>” I tried to shout. Some errors in my system stopped me. Lily seemed to know what I was saying, as she picked me up- slow and gentle. “<GOODBYE> ENJOY STAYING IN THE TRASH!” I mocked the remaining pieces of trash.

As Lily took me back to her house, I realized it was Big. Humongous. As she was about to enter her house, she hid me in her bag. I was fine with that. There were no flies buzzing next to my ear. No foul smell of trash. I waited for Lily to take me out. She didn’t. Finally, she took me out. It was dark already. “Okay,” Lily said to herself. “This is what you wanted, a type writer.” She set me down on a polished table. She took a soft piece of wet cloth and cleaned me. When she was done, I was as good as new. The black surface I was now used to seeing was back to its original pearl white color. “I never thought I could see myself like this again!” I gasped, knowing Lily wouldn’t hear me. Lily had brown hair, with matching hazel eyes. 

The next day, I woke up bright and early. The best sleep I’ve had in years. I found new knowledge in my mind. Yes! Lily wrote something. It's really good writing!I thought. Suddenly, the door croaked. Someone was coming in. “Lily! WAKE UP!” I tried to scream, but ANOTHER error in my system stopped me. The door fully opened,”Lily!” Said a voice. Then came a girl, looking like a smaller version of Lily. “Lily— Ooh, what’s that?” She crept up to me, looked both ways and typed something into me. “What is “HOK” supposed to mean?” I asked, though I knew no one could hear me.By that point, Lily was waking up. It was too late. The little girl tried to lift me up, but I was too heavy. I fell. It hurt. The last thing I saw was Lily crouching over me, looking more terrified than mad at her little sister. Then, everything went black.

It’s not every day a type writer gets to be at such a fancy place, you know? I had a good adventure. I lived enough. I hope Lily finds a better typewriter than the worn-out me.

The match started quickly, with a far post glancing header from a corner saved by the diving Neuer, and Leroy Sané’s finesse shot smashing the crossbar. The fans cheered their team on with enthusiasm, which gave the hard-working players a much-needed boost in morale. In the late thirtieth minute, Joshua Kimmich slipped a visionary pass behind the back line and set Serge Gnabry through on goal. He wasn’t wasting a chance like this, and coolly passed the ball into the net.

A few minutes after half-time, The Københaven right-winger dribbled past Dayot Upamecano, setting a cross into the box for an easy finish. Bayern were tied, and there were only forty-five minutes left in this game. Ten minutes after Københaven scored, Kingsley Coman broke through the Københaven back line and was one-on-one with the ‘keeper. He tried to shoot just inside the penalty area, but the ball hit the post and just trickled out of bounds. In the seventieth minute, a scare came in the form of a power shot from eighteen yards out. It seemed to be going in all the way, but Neuer made a legendary save, managing to get a finger on it and tip it onto the crossbar. Finally, in the eighty-seventh minute, a through ball sent Thomas Müller running into the penalty box, and with three minutes of the game left, this might be Bayern’s last chance. The keeper ran up to close the angle, and a composed chip won the match for Bayern.

“What an enthralling match we had tonight, but I think the home side just about edged it, and deserved the win. Isn’t that right Stewart?” Came Derek Rae’s commentary voice over the cheers of the crowd. “Yes Derek,” Said Stewart Robson “The home side will be quite happy tonight, but our visitors will have to return back to Copenhagen. Let’s see how Bayern will do in the Round of 16!”

“Yes!” Jack screamed, “My 50th match! That means I get enough XP to get Harry Kane! He’s 91 rated!” His mom’s voice came over his yelling: “Pipe down Jack, come and have your dinner!” Jack walked away from his screen, eager to use his new player as soon as he finished dinner.

“Yes! It’s time for recess.” Bella exclaimed as she walked up the stairs. It was second recess, people were heading out from all directions . When suddenly, she heard someone yell “oh no! The chips are gone! Somebody must have stolen it!”she gasped , then hurried over to check things out. The bag of chips were missing! But very quickly she figured out the people that were suspicious.

Myles, who had stayed behind during recess to finish some work. Chelsea, who had doubled back during recess to get her pencil case. And Chloe, who had went to the bathroom and came out five minutes after recess started.

So Bella told Ms Marshall her suspensions, and Ms Marshall toke them out one by oneTo talk, - with Bella. 

First was myles: “myles, you know that the bag of chips are missing, right?.” Ms Marshall’s voice was calm. “Yes. I do know that.” Hun, his voice was strong. Not anything like a thief’s voice. Bella toke notice and jotted it down in her notebook. “So you do know! Well, if you tell us who stole it, maybe that will prove that you didn’t steal it yourself.” “Well, when I was coming out from using the bathroom, I saw a pigtail disappear from the stairs. And when I got back, the chips were missing! I was just about to tell you when all of you came rushing in! If you put it this way, then it must be a girl!” His information wasn’t much use, but it was enough to prove him innocent. Bella stepped out of the shadows, spoke rapidly to Ms Marshall, then she turned to myles.”you have proved your innocence and given us more information. Now can you help us by calling Chelsea out for us?” “Sure thing.” 

”Alright, Chelsea, when you grabbed your pencil case, did you see who stole the chips?” “…no” her voice was full of unsure, Bella thought, noticing that she was wearing a pigtail. “Are you sure?” Ms Marshall pressed on “you don’t sound that  confident.” “ yes, I am sure that I didn’t see anyone.” Her eyes darted around. “ I just grabbed my pencil case and headed back to recess.” Bella didn’t want to waste more time, so she stepped out of the shadows.”thanks Chelsea! I think your innocent, can you get chole to come out please?” “Of course.”  As Ms Marshall  glance at Bella questioningly. Bella said “I’ll explain everything later, but I want to hear what chole has to say first.” 

“Well, chole, did you see who stole the chips?” “Yes actually, I saw Chelsea 

“So your name is Jerimia? Pftt! Weird.” Said Bob. “No it's not!” I yelled back trying to not take in the words. “Geez he’s just kidding,” someone laughed then whispered, “Looks like someone can’t control their temper.”  With that I exploded. I punched Bob in the face and sped. Where did I get my confidence? I didn’t have time to think because Bob catched up and pushed me and I fell down a ditch. “Ahh!” Crash! Cough cough. Ugh Bob is so mean. Where am I? I scanned the area, wait what’s that? Is that a pencil case?

So I brought the pencil case home and discovered some things. With the pencil I could create anything, and the first thing I made was a duck. I know it's weird. With the eraser I could erase anything, I mean that’s what they’re made for, and the first thing I erased was the ground I was falling into nowhere! I quickly grabbed the pencil and drew the ground again.

 Lastly in the pencil case was a scissor that could turn into a sword. First, that’s so cool! Second, why on earth would I need that I literally have a pencil which could create a sword. I brought the pencil case to school and of course being who I was Jose found out about my pencil case.

Jose Angelico Rian is my best bud. He also moved to London at the same time as me. He’s like a big brother, someone who understands me and stands up for me, and for some reason I don’t want him to know about the pencil case. “Hey Jerimia what’s that?” Jose asked. “Uhh… Oh Jose, you got new shoes!” I yelled, changing the subject. He bombastic side eyed me and walked away as I sighed in relief.

“Jerimia,”Jose said, “ Your pencil case is magical.” “H-how do you know?” I gasped. Jose chuckled, “I saw you find it.” I ran but I was too slow. “Jerimia, don't make this painful. Give me the Pencil case” Jose exclaimed. “I-I thought we were friends,” I shuttered. “Jerimia, I said give me the pencil case” Jose screeched. “ No,” I said, surprisingly confident. Jose laughed, “Jerimia look at me,” I looked at him “Now look at you.” I looked at myself. “Jerimia if we got into a fight I would win.” “No,” I said. With that he punched me, or at least he tried to but I dodged him. Wow! It's like I became Super Girl now. I punched him in the face and thought to myself. Where did I get my courage? And I understood I always had courage deep inside of me like when I punched Bob.

But Sean still started to think. “I need my bike quickly…” maybe I can make a request to my friends!” Said Sean. He asked his friend Kadin for help. He said he would be happy to help. On the day that they worked together, they got 250 HKD. Kadin didn’t need any money, so Sean managed to keep it all.

Next day, Sean went to the market. But because of the inflation, the flour that was 10 HKD per pack, was 17 HKD per pack. After thinking, he decided to make smaller cookies. “What? Why are the cookies smaller?” Said a kid. Because the flour is more expensive. But it’s still big and tasty,”said Sean. “I don’t want to buy these cookies ,” said everyone. That day, she only sold 5 cookies. Only got 10 HKD.

But then, Sean heard “whoa!” these are so big!”There was another cookie market. It was bigger than his older one. He has confronted a company.

Sean talks with mom. “Hmmm… so you have some company”. “Well, technically yes”.said Sean. ”Maybe(crunch crunch) we can put (crunch crunch) some peanut butter in those(crunch crunch) cookies(Gulp) ," said Kadin.”Maybe?”

”That’s a great idea! Thanks Kadin.” Said Sean. “You're welcome,”said Kadin. “Very”.

Sean went to work straight away. After a big whoosh of flour and stuff, cookies were finished. Sean started to sell the cookies. The cookies were sold out. Sean got 300 HKD. Now he just needs 100 more HKD. The other store made the same cookies, but they didn’t sell any, so that place went out of business.

But earning 100 HKD wasn’t so hard. He made upgraded cookies. Chocolate chips on top, peanut butter added. He sold them all. He earned 120 HKD. He finally got a bicycle, which was a grand prize for him. Also, he also did a meaningful thing. He used all his leftover money to buy toys like soccer balls and robots to donate to nursery school. But also, he said “do you wanna work together?” To the guys that were his company a day ago. He pledged to run the company well.

 Anyways even if people say I have “stupid” ideas, it doesn’t mean I don’t have friends. I’ve got about… hmmm… One. My friend is Jeremy, I met him in kindergarten. He was new back then and I welcomed him. And I was glad I finally had a friend, since the other kids steered clear of me after I dumped my lunch in the electrical room. How would I know the light and air- con would shut off! 

Nowadays we walk to school together debating like any other pair of friends. Today I told Jeremy my new idea which was eating dinner on a train. I thought he would be excited about that, but instead he screamed “ARE YOU CRAZY? FIRST OF ALL HOW ARE YOU GONNA GET ON THE TOP OF A TRA-” I didn’t  want to hear that. So I put on my headphones while Jeremy droned on about who knows what.

At about 1:00 my mom took me out of school to the hospital. I had been there thousands of times because of my “stupid” ideas. Doctor Sharp took a look at me and said that I didn’t need that wheelchair anymore, And I was relieved (probably cause it kinda stinks after I spilled milk all over it yesterday. 

That afternoon I went to Jeremy’s house to plan out my Idea. 

“I dunno Johnny, it still feels like you’re stupidest idea yet!” 

“Jeremy, I’ll make you a steak” Jeremy’s eyes lit up, he liked my steaks. Then immediately his face drooped down 

“It seems like a huge price to pay for a ribeye.”

“Man, it's gonna be fun!”  Jeremy thought about it. Then…he looked at me like a piece of gum on the sidewalk and left.

I never knew that a medium rare ribeye on a train would break us up.

The next day I sto- borrowed 312 steaks, 297 liters of Coca Cola, 50789332  peas,and 490 bags of salt. With all of that stuffed in my wagon I bought a train ticket to school and climbed to the top to make the steak. After 311 steaks,296.5 liters of coke, 50789322 peas and 489.7 bags of salt later I was ready to eat my steak. Then, out of nowhere Jeremy’s head popped up! 

“Jeremy! My man!” 

“be quiet, the police are onto you” 

“why?” 

“You stole from our local grocery store!” 

“Oh. Yeah.”

I whipped my head around and saw 2 burley policemen running towards me. I didn’t think twice.  I ran. Jeremy was right behind me then- I blacked out.

I woke up in a crummy jail cell, Jeremy looked up and said “anything to say for yourself?” 

 there was nothing stopping me. “I forgot to take a video!”

“YES!”

“Aaron?

“YES!!”

“Derek?”

“YES!!!”

“AND THE HEIST BEGINS!!”

We were planning the biggest theft in cat history: all of us cats had snuck away from our houses somehow, and in this extra time when our humans were looking for us, we were trying to steal the holy grail of catnip: CANNED TUNA. We were wired, we had a plan, and we were all ready to rob a store.

STAGE ONE: THE STORE OPENING

The theft might’ve been over before it had even started. There was a DOORKNOB.

“SO.. uhh.. how do we do this?” Derek asked.

“I don’t know, Derek.” Jimmy said. “But Aaron always has an idea.”

“I know.” Aaron said. “We stack up to reach the doorknob.”

And sure enough, we had made it in in an instant.

STAGE TWO: THE HUMAN

A human was monitoring the cash thingy when we came in. Of course, we tried to act all cute, but that was no match to what he did next.

“Oh, you little felines, don’t you need some scratches?” he purred. And Derek was taken. The human began to scratch him behind the ears, and Derek began to choke for breath.

“LE-LEAVE ME. I’LL BE FINE..” he managed to choke before he was put into a deep sleep. And another cat, watching the horror, asked us: “What are you doing exactly?”

“WELL. We’re trying to steal some canned tuna.” I responded. “Cool. I’ll lead you to the stock.” he said.

STAGE THREE: THE BETRAYAL

“We’re close.” the cat, whose name was Kaitlyn, said. “Good.” I responded. “And the cans are here.” he responded. And sure enough, there they were. Thousands and thousands of cans of tuna. I was bedazzled. The very presence of it was amazing. “But you're not going to get there that easily.” Kaitlyn said. “Stealing our private stock is theft.” “I KNEW IT! Never trust a person whose name starts with K.” Jimmy said. Kaitlyn growled, and the human came in at exactly 7.29 seconds. “Katie, wha- GOOD GOLLY LORD, WHAT DO YOU PESKY CATS THINK YOU ARE DOING? STEALING OUR STOCK OF TUNA?” the human said with his hands extended.  \“GET-” and a certain cat jumped out of the shadows and growled. Derek stole some cans of tuna out of the stock, somehow balanced them on his back, and ran out of the store. “YOU! FELINE! GET BACK HERE!!” the human said as he chased after Derek into the sunset. A valiant warrior, and it also helped that apparently surviving by stealing tuna is a “crime”.

STAGE FOUR: THE THEFT

Kaitlyn, the powerless feline that he was, cowered between the rage of the three of  us. He had betrayed us as we all knew, and he scurried away to report another day.

We all tried to get as much as we could, and went to our hideout. And when I got in..

“This tuna tastes terrible.” I said. “Uhh.. I think we robbed the wrong store.” Jimmy said. Everyone groaned.

Bob didn’t want to be like other grorkb when he grew up, hunting Xiao long bao and chanting weird spells. He actually wanted to help the Xiao long bao escape from the clutches of the Grorkb master to prevent them from being eaten. But Bob didn’t want to seem different from other grorkb, so he stayed quiet and tried to act as grorkbly as possible.

 One day, Bob found a trail of soup leading to the kitchen. He followed the soup trail and found that there was a Xiao long bao in the kitchen. He sneakily watched the Xiao long bao as it ate all the cookies in the kitchen, then spat them out. He couldn’t blame it. The cookies tasted like a frog with potato pants. Then he suddenly realized that there was a XIAO LONG BAO IN THE KITCHEN!!! He jumped, and a crack announced to the Xiao long bao that there was something watching it. The Xiao long bao turned around and saw that Bob was staring at him. It looked around, trying to find a hole to jump out of, but Bob said “Don’t worry, I can help you.”                       As you know, Bob was smart, and he knew that if anyone found out that he was helping a Xiao long bao, then he would be the next victim of the Grorkb master. But he couldn’t resist! He had waited 300 years to help a Xiao long bao. He had to take his chance! So he hid the Xiao long bao in the hole that was his room, and to say that he managed it in the nick of time is an understatement. The Xiao long bao literally just got out of sight as soon as Bob’s mom clumped to his room. She said “Bob, are you doing your homework?” “Yes mom,” said Bob. 

Hi! If you’re wondering who I am, I’m called Summer Baits. I am a new student in my school and let’s just say the first day wasn’t the dream…well this was how it was supposed to happen, I would walk into school with stylish designer clothes and sunglasses and wear a checkered skirt and cool boots with Nike kicks with the color yellow and black. INSTEAD I didn’t have ANY designer clothing because I had to follow a stupid dress code and I couldn’t wear a checkered skirt. So it’s fine to say that the first day of school was an ABSOLUTE failure.

But the good thing is, I have about one day to go to school after the summer break. A lot of things happened. First of all, I went surfing but I didn’t really surf because I was bad at it and no way am I going to embarrass myself. So that’s why I needed to pick up my game this year. The first semester was such a total fail and it got me to go to the principal's office! I really didn’t know why. Probably because I just talked to the most popular girl in school and she told the principal that I did something that I didn’t really do. But at least my mom took care of it! 

Right after I changed my clothes with my uniform and some black skirt, I walked for about two minutes to my school and everyone started clapping for me. I couldn't see Alice so that was strange. I bashfully struded to the gate and tons of people started walking up to me and asking to be their friend. “Well… sure but why are you guys saying this now?” Suddenly they started telling me EVERYTHING from when Alice got me into trouble and MY mom told the principal all the bad things she’s done to everybody and me. For example: saying bad words in front of them and throwing my backpack and trying to flush it down the toilet bowl at the end of school and not to mention that my computer was inside! They started blessing me and saying that I deserved to be popular because somehow I beat the popular girl. Just saying in my opinion she’s just pure CRUEL. 

The school year was one of the best ever! Everybody is respecting me and I get to sit with other people each day at lunch cause SO MANY people ask me to. Honestly I became the new queen bee in this school. So in conclusion, LIFE IS SO GOOD RIGHT NO- “hey class! Welcome our new student called ALICE Bakers!” OMG IS THAT THE SAME ALICE THAT WENT TO OUR SCHOOL BEFORE?! Uh-Oh… DRAMA IS HERE!  

”OK! JUST LET ME SLEEP FOR 1 MORE MINUTE!” I screeched back.

”NOO, THE BUS IS ARRIVING, HURRY UP!” Mom screamed. Ugh, Monday is the worst! I need to hurry because I hate missing the bus. If I miss the bus then I won’t get to play with my friends or chit chat with them. My best friend, Carrie always understands me no matter what I do, we known each other since kindergarten. I’m already very lucky because I’m not as late as my older sister who always misses her bus. “AHHHHHHHH!” Phew! Everything is just a dream, wait… where am I? A-a-am I in a cage!? “HELP ME! IS ANYONE HERE?” I screamed THUD! THUD! THUD! What sound was that? Oh no, I recognize that sound… Maybe this is the library's dungeon? The sound is from the stress librarian. No no no no this can’t be real, I want this to be a dream. Poof! “Huh? Is anyone here?” I’m terrified… no, no,no, I don't want this to be happening. “Woof woof!” Is someone here to save me? 

“Is anyone h-h-here?” My voice shakes, my heart racing. whimpers 

“BOO!”

”ACKKK”

”HAHAHAHA, I scared you!”

”Who are you? Do I know you?”

 ”Of course you know me, I’m your best friend, Carrie.” I can’t believe my best friend locked me behind the bars. “Why?” I questioned. 

“What do you mean ‘why’?”

”I mean why am I locked in here?”

”You aren’t even locked.” 

“Really?”

”Really.” OMG, I was so dumb that I didn't even know that I wasn’t locked up.

“But what about the dog?” I really hoped she would say the dog is hers.

”Huh? What dog are you talking about?”

”I’m talking about the dog that just barked and whimpered.” Oh no, I have a bad feeling about this. Then, there was complete silence.

”Let’s just go to school now, and forget what happened.” I have a very bad feeling about this and I feel very scared. While we walked I looked around to see if the dog was here but it was gone. RINGGGGGGG! Phew, I’m not late to school.

NOT DONE YET!

(NOT DONE YET)

Alexa

I skipped through the doorway of my classroom and unpacked for the day. “Dinggggggg” Ms.K rang the bell. We all hurried to the carpet for morning meeting, “good morning class” Ms.K’s loud but soothing voice said. “Good morning Ms.K” we replied sleepily. Ms.K told us that she had brought a surprise for us but she wouldn’t tell us what it was until recess. Math, reading and music went by quickly and we were all eager to know what the surprise was. Finally it was 10 minutes until recess. Ms.K, acting oblivious to our excitement revealed that she had brought marshmallows to celebrate our 100th day in 4th grade! We jumped with joy. “I’ll hand out the marshmallows after recess.” We quickly ran to recess, I personally love tag so I always play it with my friends. After running around for 15 minutes it was finally time to eat marshmallows! Ms.K picked us up and we fast walked to the classroom.

we hurried to marshmallows when Nicolas screeched that the marshmallows were gone! I went to look for myself, and I saw that indeed they were gone. Once the class had realized that the marshmallows were missing me and my best friend, April decided to be detectives and find out.

Nicolas

They’ll never know I told myself proud of pulling it off. I secretly went to the bathroom right before recess and waited until everyone had left the classroom. Then I went back into the classroom, and on my tippy toes, I sneakily stole the marshmallows! I grabbed the bag being as quiet as a mouse and shoved it in my lunchbox. Now everyone was freaking out but they would never suspect it was me!

Alexa

Who stole the marshmallows? Why?!? I kept asking myself. Me and April went around asking people. we had got nothing and I was frustrated so I slammed my hands down on the nearest table. “Ewwww” I screeched, Immediately picking up my hands. They were sticky! Sticky could only mean one thing, marshmallows!!! I told April and she told me that that was John’s table! We quickly told Ms.K and hurried to confront John.

IM NOT DONE YET.

”Bob!!! Clean your room!” Bob’s mom shouted. 

”Wait mom, I’m picking the potatoes!’’ Bob replied in a voice that was louder than his mom’s.

Readers, you may be thinking “What?!! Picking potatoes? That’s so old!” And yes readers, Bob is a 15 year old boy who lives in the Middle Ages. The kingdom Bob lived in was not the best life for him because the ruler of the kingdom was Lord Hogleberg IV and don’t get me started on the atrocious name of the kingdom. The name of the kingdom was called “The Realm of Hogleberg” like seriously? The Royal Hogleberg bloodline named it that because they said it portrayed the greatness of the family name “Hogleberg” like whaaat?? Ok enough of me yapping about the ruler of the kingdom, now it's time to resume our story.

It turns out Bob wasn’t picking the potatoes, instead while he was yelling he quietly absconded from the mud made cottage and dashed over to his friend, Timmy’s house. Timmy looked worried as Bob approached “What are you doing here? Your Mom is gonna kill ya!” Timmy questioned Bob in a voice slightly louder than a whisper. “Don’t worry, I have fooled her, she thinks I’m picking potatoes” Bob replied in a confident tone. Just as Bob spoke they heard an ear-piercing sound from Bob’s mom which one could mistake for a beast. The sound of Bob’s mom is monumentally loud. 

“BOB!!! WHERE ARE YOU!!???!” Bob’s mom roared

Bob shook in his size seven shoes “Umm Bye Tim—-“ Bob did not have enough time to finish his sentence as he made a mad dash to his home but he ran into a wall..?

It turns out he hadn’t bumped into a wall but Lord Hogleberg IV’s chariot.

“Guards, there’s this peasant on my chariot. Remove him!’’ Lord Hogleberg screeched

“Sir, actually I’m not a peasant”

”Mind your tongue your tongue insolent fool” Lord Hogleberg snapped 

Today was a terrible day. I  nearly did the 360 reverse flip on the school skateboard ramp! But then I crashed, in front of the whole school!And even worse,I lost the school skateboard tournament when I was so close! I was so angry that I nearly broke my skateboard into two pieces! But after I at least got ice cream at the end of the tournament.But that didn’t make anything better.My name is Timmy and I’m 12 years old but now everywhere I go people call me wobbly Timmy because of the incident yesterday. I’m in 6th grade. It's my first year in middle school and it’s pretty challenging but at least I have my friends in middle school.I’m pretty much the best skateboarder in my school apart from my rival called Jimmie rocket, and he’s way better at skateboarding than me because he’s been skateboarding since he was two years older than me, so he has the big advantage. Today I was walking to school slowly when I saw a poster on the front gate of the school! On the poster was a skateboarding event for all the people in the town! I just had to go to the skateboarding competition to show people that I was actually a great skateboarder and I could win the competition.So over the little days I had, I practiced all the good moves I had and I got a whole lot better because I had to beat Jimmie rocket in the competition. After I finished my skateboarding practice for the day I went back home. When I told my mom about the skateboarding competition she told me we could go to the local skateboarding shop to get a brand new skateboard since my one was pretty broken from all the flips and turns when I was practicing. I picked out one of the skateboards that I had wanted since I was 5 years old. The new skateboard had a big lightning bolt! So the next few days I started to practice with my new skateboard until the day of the tournament arrived. When i got to the place where the skateboard tournament was held a lot of people from the city were there but the one i had to beat was Jimmie rocket. When the tournament started I beat a lot of people in the competition. Soon it came down to just me and Jimmie rocket. Jimmie did a 250 twist and he got an 8 out of 10 stars from the judges. I was next. I took a deep breath and started to gain speed to do the famous  skateboard move, the 360 reverse flip. I started to do the flip and everything felt like it was in slow motion, then I landed on the ground the judges gave me 10 out of 10! I had won the skateboarding tournament! Later that day, the doorbell rang and I went to open the door.guess who it was! It was Jimmie rocket, and he asked me to go skateboarding with him!

     “May I speak to you in private,” Ben said. Ben’s the person who most of the time’s contacts us from the command center. 

     “Of course,” I replied. 

I indicated for everyone to leave

     “Your orders are to proceed with the mission” Ben told me

     “Why did you want to speak to me in private” I asked

     “Because with the new astronaut on board who knows what he could do” Ben replied

     I thought of what Ben said and decided to tell him “It’s not like he’s a psychopath— we can trust him.”

     My team and I were on our way to the Refueling-Station. Jack was mainly doing the navigation while me and Mark were setting up the computer system to be ready to refuel. We started closing in on the refueling station while Jack barked orders from the command center. 

     “Start docking,” Jack ordered.

     Docking was a standard procedure to attach to anything in space. For example when rockets want to bring resources for the space station they just have to dock on.I made a 180 degree turn then pushed the throttle down to 5%. Docking was hard; the rockets had to be aligned in the exact position of where it’s going. The rocket touched down so I locked in with the refueling station. 

     The stranded astronaut asked, trying not to sound furious “why are we in a refueling station?” 

     I glanced at Mark then answered “because we’re supposed to continue on our mission.

     “ABORT MISSION!!!” he yelled, this time really mad.

     “Orders,” Jack replied

     “If you don’t abort the mission I will stab the throttle with this” The stranded astronaut threatened while pulling out his dagger. Where did he get the dagger I thought.

     “You know what can happen if you stab the throttle right?! We’re going to meet each other in heaven!” I screamed. 

     The stranded astronaut unlocked the spaceship door and climbed outside to the throttle. I followed him and grabbed a shovel but the problem was the shovel was not for battle it was for digging asteroids. I climbed out of the spaceship but the stranded astronaut stabbed my astronaut helmet and took my hand off the exterior spaceship Handel. Luckily the dagger didn’t go so deep in my helmet so I wasn’t bleeding but I was losing oxygen. I took off my helmet and threw it in the opposite direction of the spaceship which may seem stupid but throwing something in the opposite direction of where you want to go would work. I was losing oxygen so I quickly unlocked the door to the spaceship and Immediately shut it. The stranded astronaut did the unthinkable; he stabbed the throttle. There was a fire burning through the methane. I immediately pushed the separate stage button before we ran out of all our fuel. 

     “Head for the moon!” I ordered

     “Roger that,” Ben said.  

     We had successfully landed on the moon.

     “Yes we have finally finished level 123” My friend yelled.

`“Jimmy?”

“YES!”

“Aaron?

“YES!!”

“Derek?”

“YES!!!”

“AND THE HEIST BEGINS!!”

We were planning the biggest theft in cat history: all of us cats had snuck away from our houses somehow, and in this extra time when our humans were looking for us, we were trying to steal the holy grail of catnip: CANNED TUNA. We were wired, we had a plan, and we were all ready to rob a store.

STAGE ONE: THE STORE OPENING

The theft might’ve been over before it had even started. There was a DOORKNOB.

“SO.. uhh.. how do we do this?” Derek asked.

“I don’t know, Derek.” Jimmy said. “But Aaron always has an idea.”

“I know.” Aaron said. “We stack up to reach the doorknob.”

And sure enough, we had made it in in an instant.

STAGE TWO: THE HUMAN

A human was monitoring the cash thingy when we came in. Of course, we tried to act all cute, but that was no match to what he did next.

“Oh, you little felines, don’t you need some scratches?” he purred. And Derek was taken. The human began to scratch him behind the ears, and Derek began to choke for breath.

“LE-LEAVE ME. I’LL BE FINE..” he managed to choke before he was put into a deep sleep. And another cat, watching the horror, asked us: “What are you doing exactly?”

“WELL. We’re trying to steal some canned tuna.” I responded. “Cool. I’ll lead you to the stock.” he said.

STAGE THREE: THE BETRAYAL

Kaitlyn was parading us towards the stock. I couldn’t believe that we were so close. He was a good feline, leading us towards the stock like that. But then again.. a small part in my brain was nagging at me. What if he would betray us? What if it tasted terrible? What if..? I silenced that part of my brain. He was too good of a feline to betray us like that.

“The stock is here.” Kaitlyn announced. It was shining in the daylight, beautiful as usual. “But did you really think that it would be that easy?” Kaitlyn said. “Stealing our stock is theft.” “I KNEW IT! Never trust a person whose name starts with K.” Aaron said. Kaitlyn screeched at us, and the human came in at exactly 7.29 seconds. “Kate, wha- WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU FELINES ARE DOING? STEALING OUR TUNA?” the human said. He looked like he might blow a fuse. And suddenly Derek hopped out of nowhere, stole a can of tuna and ran away, the human right behind him.

STAGE FOUR: THE THEFT

Kaitlyn, the powerless feline that he was, cowered between the rage of the three of  us. He had betrayed us as we all knew, and he scurried away to report another day.

We all tried to get as much as we could, and went to our hideout. And when I tasted it..

“This tuna tastes terrible.” I said. “Uhh.. I think we robbed the wrong store.” Jimmy said. Everyone groaned.
