The Birthday Party

   I'm in my house. Playing outside. Nothing seems out of the ordinary except...except...today's my eighth birthday party! Six of my friends were invited, five came. When my friends started filing in, I took them upstairs to play Madden 10 on my Wii. Unfortunately, there were only two controllers but the guests were good sports. While two of us were playing, the others took turns making their own unlimited topping, 11 inch pizzas from Pizza Studio.
  After we had fun with the Wii, we went to my backyard and played outside.We played the classic game Monkey in the Middle, but with our own twist. The two people who aren't monkeys have two decide who plays wide receiver and who plays quarterback. There are two monkeys chasing the quarterback, trying to strip the ball from him, and there is one monkey covering the wide receiver. The receiver ran routes like X-Clown, Double Seams, and Drag Outs.
  Then, the pizza came! Its heavenly scent wafted in the air. Everybody quickly came inside and devoured their delicious masterpieces. After that, we had cake. But it wasn't a regular cake, it was an ICE CREAM CAKE! We ravenously gobbled up that football cake(it was shaped and looked like a football) until not a single crumb remained. All the ants must have felt disappointed.
  I then opened presents. I got a Pokemon card set, Jenga Tetris, a $20 Barnes and Noble Gift Card, a $20 Amazon Gift Card, and a $20 Target Gift Card. Later, what better too happen than than my mom checked the mail and found a $50 Barnes and Noble Gift Card. To wrap up my birthday party, we played Mario Kart Wii until everybody left. That was the best birthday party ever!

The Nerve-Wracking Auditions

  The room was about 30 square feet. There were a lot of plaques on the walls. It was just me and a lady. I should have felt comfortable but I couldn't because she was watching me like a hawk. The "Welcome" mat at the front of the room didn't feel welcoming at all under the circumstances.
   I had worked seven whole months. Those seven months were brutal, and I was lectured tons of times on the values of "practicing" and "memorizing" and whatever by my very strict piano teacher, Mrs. Deering. I did practice half an hour a day! Usually an hour! But, all that lecturing and practicing was going to come down to this final span of 12 minutes.
  Let me just say that every minute of those auditions felt like an eternity. Playing " The Pink Panther" was the easiest because the tune of the tune of the song was easy to memorize. The first song I played was "United We Stand" and every time she looked down on that report card and made note of something I thought I was going to be sick. The passing grade was easy, even if you got 16 more Cs(negatives) than As(positives) you would still pass but I still felt like I was going to be sick to my stomach. While I was playing "Hogwarts Hymn" I could barely remember the notes of the song. On the last part, I thought I played a note wrong and I thought that mistake would cost me a good grade. After "Hogwarts Hymn" I played "Snake Charmer" in which I thought I had the tempo all wrong. After that eighth song, those twelve minutes were over. I felt like doing a hop-skip-jump dance. I braced myself for a bad grade but I got 11 As and 5 Cs. I had passed! My nerves relaxed. A ton of weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I got into the car and happily relaxed. Finally, those piano auditions were over.

The World Would be a Better Place if...

When it was summer time I visited my grandparents in Bangalore, India. My grandparents took me to an orphanage where many poor kids were living. My grandparents donate some food each month to help the orphans. I think the world be a better place if everybody has a home and family. Take those orphans, for example, and picture them living in a house with kind parents. They would also be healthy because they would get fresh food and clean water. Also they would be happy to have caring companions to stay with. I thought of ideas to help the orphans by sending them highly nutritious foods so they would be healthy. If everybody had parents and helped each other like my grandparents, the world would be a better place.

The Haunted House

After a chilly October day in school, me and my dog Midnight were walking home. It was a regular day in school, from playing handball with my friends to almost falling into a coma in Mr. Bore's science class. Little did I know about the adventure that was soon too come. Midnight loves too play fetch so I gave the ball a big toss; it rolled into a Haunted house where no one had lived since the 1700s. Midnight chased the ball inside the house and I uneasily followed him. " Midnight, Midnight, where are you." I called while pushing the door open with a loud CREAK! As soon as I opened the door I fell through a long trapdoor. When I got to the end of the trapdoor a war ghost blocked my path." I am hungry for blood." it moaned as it slowly drifted toward me. I quickly picked up a rusty,old sword that I found in a dark corner. It turned swords worked on war ghosts because when I jabbed at him he vaporized in a flash. I looked at my sword. It had transformed into a lightning bolt. Wow, I thought, why would I need a lightning bolt? Pretty soon, I found out. An army of zombie-chickens started attacking me. It turned out that when you zapped them they turned into chicken wings. After I electrified all the zombie-chickens I ate some chicken wings. Mmm, I thought, these chicken wings are really good. Then I remembered the purpose of why I was here. To get Midnight back, not eat chicken wings. Plus, I remembered that these were one-hundred percent pure zombie-chickens and suddenly they didn't seem so appetizing anymore. I raced down the cobwebbed stairs and  came to a gigantic room. I skidded to a halt and hid behind a dusty rock. Why a rock was there, I don't know. In front of me the most enormous mummy ever was about to cook Midnight for dinner. Conveniently, I knew a trick with mummies. I quietly tiptoed toward him and pulled one of his loose bandages. All of his bandages began to unravel, tripping him while I found a nearby sarcophagus and trapped him in there. Then I took Midnight up the ladder and tore like heck for home. That was some scary experience. It's a coincidence that today is Halloween. 

ALIENS

CRASH! I heard a thunderous noise in my backyard at 1:00 A.M. I rushed outside and what did I see? Aliens with high-tech laser guns and hydros( they shot water at about 100 miles per minute ). They had their names stuck to their T-Shirts. Alien 1 was called Sawk and was yellow with black spots. Alien 2 was called Throh and was green with black stripes. The one called Sawk said," We are on Earth to steal solar panels from people . After those words with a WHOOSH they were gone.I told my mom and dad. They didn't believe me. I called up some scientists. They didn't believe me either until I phoned up one who had his solar panels stolen and his house soaked with hydros. I told him to call up all the other scientists. They trusted him. After this the scientists started making some very powerful force fields. They were no match for the aliens though. They had teleporters! They quickly teleported out of the force fields which were meant to trap them. At last one very brilliant fellow named Mr. Jenkins made a force field that cripples any sort of teleporters. The Aliens tried to steal all the solar panels in the scientists labratories but they got trapped inside Mr. Jenkins force field. Their teleporters broken, the aliens laser gunned the force field and took cover under some debris in another room. Unluckily for them, that room was the newest invention of the scientists and all machines that somehow got in there were disabled. The walls were made of titanium so the only way to get out was if the scientists unlocked the door. The scientists unlocked the door, went in, and locked the door again. Throh and Sawk gave the scientists 10 million dollars( Ka-Ching), the hydros, laser guns, and teleporters so that they could keep the solar panels. Amazingly, once the scientists walked out of the room the machines started working again( even the teleporters )! It turned out that without the teleporters, Throh and Sawk were really slow so the scientists had to drive them in their cars to their irregular spaceship. It was the first time I saw the spaceship and it was definitely not normal. Instead of fuel it was powered by garbage and rocks. Throh said," We are from Mars. We power our spaceships by putting in rocks and garbage. Our great and wise leaders, Blastoise, Venasaur, and Charizard told us to go get the solar panels so that we can power our spaceships by the power of the sun so we won't run out of rocks and garbage on Mars. That really is a wise decision, that is." The scientists stuck some of the solar panels around the spaceship and put the rest inside the spaceship. The two aliens said," Thank you!" and with a WHOOSH they were gone.

The Worst Day Ever in my Life

Have you ever had a horrible day? Well, let me tell you about my worst day. I was snoozing in bed when I heard my mom shout at the top of her lungs," Get up right now and clean the garage." " Aw mom, I groaned its 6;00 A.M." " You heard me buster, she ordered, CLEAN THE GARAGE!" AARGH! This was not going to be a good day. After I cleaned the garage I stormed to the table." What's for breakfast?" I called to dad. He said," You only get one bowl of cereal. Now EAT!" I was glaring at my dad with my teeth clenched. " Really dad, I muttered under my breath, I'm starving." " What was that ?" he asked. " Nothing, dad." I quickly replied. At school, ( Preschool, I was 4.5) an annoying kid messed up all the blocks and blamed it on me. For "doing" that I got a ten a ten minute timeout. Plus, he also said that he was building something with the blocks so five more minutes got tacked on the timeout and I owed him an apology. I clenched my fists at him. He just laid down a smug smile on me and skipped off, looking for another victim. I felt like punching him in the gut, but I was in a timeout so I couldn't move. What a bad day this is, I thought, as I sat still in the corner of the room. I sighed, I hope I have a better time at home, I thought. But home was no better. As soon I got through the doorway my mom told me I had to clean me and my sister's without my mom's help. GRRR! I was so mad but I kept quiet. Dictator was the name for her, I thought. It took me and hour to do it because my sister threw everything everywhere. Her dolls were found in the bookcase! After I finished cleaning I went to my bed and crashed. Hopefully, I thought to myself, tomorrow will be a better day. Then I fell fast asleep.

Space Adventure

Yes! Yes! Yes! My heart leaped with joy! I was chosen to explore the planet Neptune way up in space. I was going to go up in space tomorrow so I slept very early. When I woke up my phone was ringing madly so I said," Who's calling me?" The reply was," Your space shuttle leaves in two hours." Two hours! I brushed my teeth, ate a hasty breakfast, and got in the car. Once I got to the space station, I changed into my space suit and ran into the space shuttle, ignoring all the reporters who were crowded around me. As I got comfy, Mission Control said," 3...2...1...BLAST OFF!" I set my course for Neptune and in a couple of days I was there. As I touched down on Neptune, a small, green figure greeted me. Surprisingly, he spoke English! He said,"Welcome to Neptune. My name is V-30 and I will be your host on Neptune." I told Mission Control about the alien and showed them some rock samples. They told me to leave in 2 days. I made friends with the alien by giving him a poker chip. He returned the favor by letting me stay in his luxury mansion and cooking me whatever I liked ( I bet he could show those MasterChef guys a thing or two). When it was time to leave V-30 accompanied me to my space shuttle but then out of the blue( or should I say black) this happened. A gigantic screen called out ," BWAHAHAHAHA!" I am the alien Destroyer and I have put you in my Course of Craziness and you have 6 hours to get through it otherwise your space shuttle will crumple and you will be marooned on Neptune forever! HAHAHAHAHA!" My heart was pounding like crazy. V-30 said," I know Neptune. I will help you." The first obstacle were "The Scary Spikes". These spikes poked out of Neptune and were metal. V-30 pulled out some metal bottle caps and clogged up the spikes in ten minutes. The next obstacle were the Evil Enemies. We defeated them by blinding them with a flashlight, but there were so many of them it took an hour to defeat them. Next the Creepy Clowns tried to hypnotize us by telling corny jokes. We defeated them by gagging them with handkerchiefs and pushing them into pits. 2 hours were up but we were facing our biggest challenge yet, the Dancing Dinosaurs. The dinosaurs went for for miles, there feet thumping the ground. It was like dodging rapidly shot fireballs. With two minutes left, we were down to the last group of waltzers. They were huge, weighing at least 30 tons each, but I managed to get into the spaceship with thirty seconds to spare. I called Mission Control and then I went back to Earth. Being on Neptune is fun, but it sure has a lot of challenges. I almost got wiped out by Destroyer and his minions. Thank god I got home safe and sound.

The Story of a spy

Hello! I am a spy from planet from planet 3.147. That's a code for U.S.A. Let me tell you about my life as a spy. You see, when I was 6 or 7 spies were my heroes. So when I was practicing stealth at school I fell down a trapdoor to a secret base for spies. I had hardly taken another step when another trapdoor sent me flying into a room where recruits were being trained.I was so excited I squealed loudly. The trainer noticed me and said," Now that you have entered the base you must be trained to become a spy." I said ," Okay, sir." I learned that my code name was H2OO2 and the numbers for the secret code. Now I was ready to spy on the British army because we were at war. I was the best at running, so I got extra training so the Admiral could know their plans. They called me, Bryce Anderson, one of the greatest spies in history. On the last battle fought in the war I had every single piece of their plan ready for the Admiral and we just destroyed them and made them surrender to us. That is how my life was during the Revolutionary War and how I became one of the spies in the Revolutionary War.

The New Dimension

Suddenly the hands on the clock began to spin at 2000 mph. I woke up in the future in a new dimension. " WAHAHAHAHA!" a voice cackled, " I have put you in a new dimension like all the kids who have fallen into my trap. Here you will have to defeat all sorts of monsters and devils with magic powers. Oh yeah, I forgot. You only have 90 minutes to do it."Oh no! My palms were sweating like crazy. Just then a bronze sword appeared in front of me. It said " to defeat the monsters you will have to jab them in the ribs at the right time. armed with my new weapon, I sped off. First up: the me looking devil. This one was easy. All it did was taunt me saying "You can never defeat me or you are weak." I just jabbed him in ribs and he screamed so loud not even a thousand men could make a sound so loud. Then he disappeared. " Wow, I muttered to myself, I'll have to get used to hearing these deafening noises." I just had muttered these words when 50 zombies surrounded me. I looked at my sword. It had turned into a bow and arrow. I shot my arrows in all directions. One by one I killed all of them. I looked at the time: 10:00. Now there was only one monster left. A ghoul. The ghoul took 5 minutes. I killed with the bow and arrow in 5 minutes when it came up close to me, then ran like a crazed bloodhound toward the finish line. With 5 seconds to spare, I pressed the button to take me home. This was a great adventure and I want to go on another one.
