Bite Marks by: Alex Goedhard
Carter Mullar, an outdoor, adventurous type decided he was going on a 15-minute canoeing expedition. He and his parents owned an extravagant, waterfront home by Lake Washington. Carter acquired hi dad’s attention to carry the canoe down on the beach for him. “Be Safe!” exclaimed Mister Mullar.
Carter was peacefully rowing around in a circle until he was entranced by some bubbling water. “Strange,” Carter mumbled to himself. As Carter rowed over to the bubbling a large hole with bitemarks appeared in the bottom of his canoe.
Carter stayed calm and abandoned his canoe and quickly deviated his course to the shore. Carter felt a rough, poking sensation on his leg. He then remembered that if any marine animal launches an offensive on you, you should kick it really hard in the snout really hard.
Carter did so and quickly breast-stroked his way to shore. He then carged 15 miles an hour once he got to shore to his room. He was going to take possession of hi binoculars to look at what attacked him.
Carter saw in the distance a log that coincidently was shaped like burly fish. Once his dad asked him was the canoe was he said he hit a rock and it split open. There is still something to find out, what made the Bitemarks?!?

The Phone by: Evan Lam
“Look at my new phone! My phone is one of those 4G phones with lightning speed connection from anywhere on the planet!” Exclaimed John to his new friend.
John and his new friend, Steve, were on a bus to John’s house. The two friends wished they could go to the moon one day. They wished that they could go there more than anything. But they both knew that just about no one gets to go to space, let alone the moon. Many people have tried to land on the moon, but all of them have died, fifteen in total. As the two friends finally reached John’s tacky house, Steve peered out the window hoping to catch a glimpse of John’s house before the bus stopped. Soon they were out of the bus and into John’s house.
John trusted Steve, so as John stampeded up his stairs, he also let Steve track him up the stairs. Leading the way, John tiptoed past his parent’s room and then quickly dived through his door into his room. As usual, John placed his phone into its charger which was smartly placed in a multiplex case. Amazed, Steve looked around John’ room and saw that his room was decorated to the teeth. His room was painted dark blue, black, and purple. And his room was also decorated by posters, colorful furniture, and a king sized bed. Astounded by the sight, Steve asked if he could take a few snapshots of John’s room.
“Of course,” said John pridefully.
“Hey, I didn’t know you have siblings,” said Steve finally noticing John’s siblings sprawled out around the room.
“Yeah, I have siblings. And these are their beds,” said John, pointing to two tiny beds in the corner of his bedroom.
“Hi Steve!” said John’s little brother.
“Hi Steve!” said John’s second little brother.
The little brothers kept repeatedly saying this for another minute.
“Are your brothers always like this?” questioned Steve.
Answering quickly like he had been waiting to answer the question his whole life, he said, ”Oh, you wouldn’t even want to know!” And he winked at Steve childishly.
A moment later, John’s mother called, “John! Get your dirty socks off my couch!”
So John smartly sauntered down the stairs. Right after Steve took his first picture of John’s room, John’s mom also told the siblings to get ready to go to soccer practice.
“Boo!” yelled John, quickly falling down on the floor, rolling with laughter.
Shocked, Steve stood there paralyzed. Steve had been taking photos of John’s room when suddenly, John appeared out of nowhere, and scared Steve out of his mind.
“Oh nice phone by the way,” John said sarcastically.
Steve had been using a hand-me-down-phone from his mom. “Well, at least I didn’t waste ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS on a stupid phone,” Steve snapped.
As Steve said that, he stormed out of the room and stomped down the stairs. (Still now, you can feel the house shaking from Steve’s wild stomping.) Five minutes later, John’s mom had called Steve’s dad to say that Steve wasn’t happy, and wanted to be picked up.
Toot Tooooot! Steve’s mom tooted her loud and annoying horn. (In both ways somehow…)
“Wait, before I leave I need to use the bathroom upstairs.” said Steve quickly.
Soon, Steve came tumbling down the stairs.
That evening, John saw a shiny, silver, metal piece sticking out from under his bed. As he picked it up, he recognized it as Steve’s old, junky phone. Because of John’s pride, he wanted to see if Steve actually liked his room, or if he was just faking it so that they could be better friends. As John flipped through the pictures on Steve’s old phone (there was no password on it because it was so old) he saw that Steve actually liked his room. Steve had actually taken quite a few photos of his room.
“JOHN! WHY DIDN’T YOU ANSWER YOUR PHONE?” shouted John’s mom furiously, “I called you five times and you didn’t pick up!”
Looking around for his phone, John saw that it wasn’t in his glass case, and that the latch was open. “Mom, someone took my phone, or I lost it somehow,” said John soberly. “I have my suspicions, but I don’t know for sure. It may have been one of my siblings,” John thoughtfully said.
He was trying to figure out where it had gone, or who took it. “BINGO!” cried John. He had just thought of a way to prove that his siblings were guilty. Instantly, he grabbed Steve’s phone and started flipping through his photos quickly. At 6:30 p.m., his siblings had to go to soccer. And Steve had been taking snapshots of John’s room from 6:27 p.m. to 6:34 p.m. So if the latch was open before 6:30 p.m., one of his siblings must have taken it. And if the latch wasn’t open at all, then Steve must have taken it. As he flipped through the photos, he saw in each and every one of them, the latch was closed. Sadly, John came to the conclusion that Steve had taken it.
“Wait, there’s still hope, I can prove if Steve took it or not. I can trick him into telling me the truth,” John said to himself.
Slithering downstairs and grabbing the phone, he called Steve’s home phone.
“Hello? This is John. I’m calling about Steve’s phone… Yup… Okay I will wait… Hello Steve?.. Yeah, you left your phone… Oh on the way to the bathroom, did you see my siblings in my room?.. Really? Which one was it? Oh really? Alright, I’ll talk to him about my stolen phone.” (This is just John’s side.)
(This is Steve’s side.) “Hello. Who is this?.. Oh hello! Why are you calling?.. Oh really? Steve’s been searching for his phone the whole day! Just one moment okay? I’ll get Steve,” said Steve’s mom. “Hello? John?.. Oh thank god you found it!.. Why ask? Okay if you want to know, I saw Kevin playing in your room… Alright bye!
“Too bad, I wish Steve didn’t steal my phone,” said John wishfully.
The next day John confronted Steve at John’s house. “Well, why did you steal my phone?” asked John. Immediately, Steve broke down.
“I always wanted a better phone, but my parents can’t afford a new one! That’s also another reason why my room isn’t as beautiful as your room.” Steve said sobbing.
John waited for Steve to stop crying, and then he said, “I will get you a phone just like mine, if you won’t steal things from me again.”
Immediately, Steve said thankfully, “Thank you, thank you!”
A few weeks passed by, and John got Steve his phone as promised. Steve never stole anything from John ever again, and they soon became BFFs.
. . .
Steve said, “I’m happy I stole the phone, because that’s what made me and John closer than we could have ever been in a lifetime.” Grinning as wide as a watermelon, John nudged Steve playfully as they strolled into a space shuttle 40 years later.

I have 18 copies of blueprints of the launcher I want to build. They are over there if you want to join.” All the animals didn’t know what to do except for Whinny the horse and Oinkly the pig.
Plan trial #1 is ready for action,” said Spotsy in his big, blue space suit. They made a launcher that would send brave soldiers to the moon! Once Spotsy was all situated the animals counted down, “3, 2, 1, LAUNCH!” Then Spotsy went soaring through the air and landed on the moon! All sorts of aliens crawled out. Everyone stepped aside while Chief Sungeeyong welcomed Spotsy by saying, “Let’s boogie,” and everyone started dancing and going crazy. Finally, Spotsy said he had to go home, but he would come back. When he floated down on the alien UFO, everyone was amazed. After the barn animals ate their grain, they jumped on the UFO. Once they got to the moon everyone danced crazily with Chief Sungeeyong and his crazy, green tribe. Everyone lived happily ever after, in space!

Harpoon Ninja by: Talia Weiss
The Harpoon Ninja was ready for some crime-stopping action. He already slipped into his wetsuit, and started to arm himself wit h his huge, black harpoon, and began swimming out of his underground cave.
He arose out of the water, he saw some orca poachers. The Harpoon Ninja started to tread the water, and aimed his harpoon. He shot the harpoon, and instantly flew across the water, making the calm, salty sea small waves. He arrived at the water stained, blue boats.
With great effort, The Harpoon Ninja climbed onto the boat, inconspicuously. He took a small, rusty pocket knife, and began to cut the razor-sharp fishing lines.
One of the men in the other boats caught a glimpse of the masked figure, and started yelling at him, “What are you doing?! This is private property!” The Harpoon Ninja calmly glanced back, and replied, “What are you doing? These are living, breathing creatures.”
With that, The Harpoon Ninja finished cutting the line, and released the beautiful, huge creatures. He thought saw one wink at him, but said it was his mind.
With a job well done, one of the orcas let him hitch a ride on its back to his base. He jumped off, waving goodbye, and retreated into the luminous cavern. He snapped his harpoon in its case, and began looking in his periscope for another law-breaker to eliminate.

The Graveyard Kids by: Marcus Lupse
It was a frosty Saturday and Kyle was in the mood for news to read. He walk to his living room full of both old and new newspapers covered stimulating mysteries. He found fresh and pure newspaper paper with a large article on the front. The article was called, “The Grave Yard Kids”. It started out like this, One October evening, as Dud, Johnny, Mr. Tissue (MT), and Tissue Mr. (TM), were riding their bikes home after school. On their way, they concluded to go to visit their friend Gordy, who was buried at the local grave yard.
On their way down the tricky, binding, twisting, and sloping path, they started to enjoy their journey. It gave them an amusing and challenging time. As the boy were shifting farther from the main street, they were inching closer to their friend. Soon, fog crashed in and the sun shined no more. The only light they saw was from a lamp far in the distance. It was now clear that the light was being carried because it was slowly progressing towards the boys. After two minutes of talking to Gordy, a tall, slim, scary woodsman jumped from behind a grave and threatened the children. Dud hid behind a grave, but TM, MT, and Johnny stood brave.
As the woodsman was swinging, the three musketeers dodged every gash. After a while, Johnny unhesitatingly decided to use his Super Robo Mechanism and started to demolish the woodman’s odds, until something happened. The woodsman evolved into a Super Woodenness Dragon. But with the help of MT and TM Johnny’s Super Robo Mechanism conquered the beast and slayed it into an End Portal. With that came a cost though. Johnny and Dud were sucked into the portal and gone forever.
On the stroll home, Mr. Tissue and Tissue Mr. had more durable courage, but they had shattered feelings. They were that night. Seeing their other two friends leave them. It was hard to live with. MT and TM knew that the beast would return someday, and they would be ready for it. As Kyle was finishing up, he caught a horrific scene. A week later, the two boys disappeared and their rooms were trashed. It was heard that someone saw a woodsman take the children. “It can’t be, thought Kyle,” thought Kyle. He had a dream the night before of him finding where the boys were. This is the beginning of Kyle’s adventure.
