RockWacker No. 2 ""CollegeWacker" |
|
In a time not so long ago there lived a family of 7, Kathrine known as Kati is mom, Don is dad, Glory who is 17 and really wants to move out, Fern is 13 and treasures anything that has to do with nature, Jamie is 10 and one of the most intelligent boys you would find in the year 2,000, Douglass is 8 and is a major show-off. And last but not least Bobby who is 5 and is so curious he could get lost in his own house. Spring was approaching and that meant that mom and dad were going to Italy and that meant that Glory would be in charge. She’d probably burn the house down just so she could move out. Or invite all her friends over for a party that would last about 2 days. Since our mansion is so vast she could fit about 100 of her impudent friends in it. Our mansion has 4 bathrooms, 3 playrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, 1 enormous business room, 15 doors, and 1 enormously vast entryway, and one dungeon where we keep our RockWackers. Our mansion used to be a castle and had an enormous amount of dungeons. We had enough money to get rid of all of them but Douglass thought it would be fun to show his sword-fighting moves in it. Bobby was curious and Jamie wanted to study it, so we kept it. “Mama can I help you pack for Ittle?” Bobby clumsily asked. He tried to say Italy but couldn’t. “Sure, pumpkin, but don’t pack any of your stuff. One time Bobby forgot Jojo in dad’s trunk. Jojo is Bobby’s tier. Since we lived in Bellingham it would be a pretty immense climate change for mom and dad. “Don’t forget the passports, bab,” Dad said as a reminder. “Did you pack the sunscreen, honey?” Mom asked. Mom and Dad call each other pretty witty names sometimes. “Did you pack the brochures?” “Yes.” “Darling, will you get the cooler?” “The cooler, the cooler, yes, no………….. I’ll go get the cooler.” “I can’t believe I’m stuck with you pigs for a full 4 days,” Glory hammered down right smack in Bobby and Douglass’s ears. “I’m not a pig,” Bobby screeched. Douglass just looked at Glory with a smirky face. “I’ll go get your sunglasses, Mama,” Bobby announced. He went to go get Kati and Don’s sunglasses and came back with his. “Mama, now you can remember me by my sunglasses,” Bobby whined. “Bobby honey I’d remember you if I was gone for 10 years, without your sunglasses. Now run along,” Mama said comfortingly. Then everybody rushed up to Mama. Bobby had told everybody that Mama was in a really nice mood and might give them some ice cream. “What are all you kids doing in here? You look like you’re begging for ice cream.” “We are, Mama.” “Well what makes you think I’m gonna give you ice cream?” We all shrugged our shoulders and walked off: “So much for the ice cream.” “Mom, I’m gonna go to my friend’s house,” Glory yelled. “No you’re not young lady; me and your father are leaving in a few minutes,” Kati reminded. “Oh my gosh, I get no time with my friends,” Glory mumbled. “Mom, Broccoli isn’t eating his bloodworms,” Fern said in a very concerned way. Broccoli is a little lizard that has a black body and a green speckled belly. Fern really loves her lizard. “Try mashing up some veggies,” Jamie said. “That’s what my lizard Bananas liked.” Jamie used to have a lizard, too. “OK, kids, me and your mom have to go, so get over here and give me some hugs and kisses,” Don said excitedly. We all ran over except Glory. “So lame,” Glory murmured. Kati and Don were off to Italy. We had cereal for dinner because Glory didn’t feel like cooking. In the morning everybody was awakened by a fiercely noisy cry. They soon found out that it was Bobby crying because Glory wasn’t in her bed. Glory slept in Bobby’s room because he didn’t like to be left alone. They looked everywhere but Glory was nowhere to be seen. “OK, everybody get some backpacks of food and line up at the door. We’re going to find Glory,” Fern triumphantly announced. “Now that Glory is gone there is no one to be in charge, so….. "It’ll have to be me, I’m second oldest,” Fern thought to herself. “Everybody, I’m in charge,” Fern announced. Everybody lined up while Fern checked out what they packed. “Doug, why did you pack Candy?” Fern asked. “To keep me up and moving!” Douglass yelled. “You can keep the slobbery crunch bar but you’ll need some decent food.” Doug ran into the kitchen, zoomed back out with a backpack full of spaghetti. “I guess that’ll have to do,” Fern said. They were off to wherever. After about an hour of looking through alleys and at her friends’ houses a little dog came up and started barking at them. The dog was very miniature and white with dusty brown spots; he had no tags. Fern turned around and looked at the small dog. “Oh, it’s so cute,” Fern remarked. Fern slowly crawled over to the dog and stuck out her hand. The dog slowly came over and licked Fern’s hand. Fern picked up the dog and said, “We’re keeping Wilsher.” “Wilsher? That’s a horrible name,” Bobby said in disgust. “What about Hidalgo?” Doug suggested. Fern gave Doug and Bobby a dirty look and said, “Wilsher.” Everybody said, “Sounds good to me!” All of a sudden Wilsher ran into the road. “Wilsher come back!” They ran after Wilsher and into a policeman. “Where are your parents?” the policeman asked. “Italy,” Jamie said nervously. “Let’s take you fellows to an orphanage for now.” “No,” Bobby yelled, “That’s where poor kids go, we got hundreds,” Bobby whined. “Prove it,” the policeman chuckled. Bobby pulled out 200 dollars and shoved it in the policeman’s face. “Bobby, why’d you bring money?" I said food,” Fern scolded. “Mr. Policeman our sister is lost and we came out to find her,” Fern said. “I’ll be sure to look for anybody stray,” the policeman reminded. The policeman loaded them in his vehicle and right away we all said I don’t think we’ll all fit in there. The policeman grumbled, looked at us, shoved us in the car, and the engine started. We sped off onto the road and were soon at the orphanage. We walked in, signed some papers about our life and knew we weren’t going to get free anytime soon. The other kids introduced themselves. Their names were Payton, Payton is 9 years old and has short blond hair, Emily and Dana are 12 year old identical twins with long black hair, Kate is 10 and has long brown hair, and Jonny who is 6 and has short orange hair. Bobby walked up to Jonny and asked, “What’s your favorite animal?” “Tiger,” Jonny shyly said. “That’s mine, too,” Bobby announced. “Do you want to go hide in the corner and eat candy?” Jonny asked Bobby. “Sure.” Douglass, Payton and Jamie became tight friends and Fern and the twins became very tight and for about 2 hours thy sat in the corner, by the window drawing. Everybody was having so much fun but Mrs. Stineful, the orphanage keeper, walked in the door and shouted, “Go to bed, it’s almost 7 pm!” Fern, Jamie, Douglass and Bobby were shocked; they never went to bed this early. “Will you read us a book?” Bobby asked. “NO READING!!” Mrs. Stineful bellowed in a harsh voice. Bobby didn’t even bother to tell her that they hadn’t brushed their teeth. At night Fern was trying to think of a way to get out. Maybe Emily and Dana would know some sort of back door or something. She got out of bed and jiggled Emily awake and asked if Emily or Dana knew a way out. Emily shook Dana awake and they started mumbling in each others’ ears. They stopped talking and said, “Come with us.” Emily and Dana led Fern to the kitchen and opened a cabinet door. In the cabinet was a door, and behind the door was a tunnel that led to an alley. Fern went to go get her siblings and as soon as they were all together they were off (with their backpacks of food). When they reached the alley, surprisingly Wilsher ran up to them and started barking. “He’s happy to see us,” Bobby said in a high-pitched voice. They followed Wilsher through the alley and all the sudden they fell into a pit! Wilsher jumped in the pit and started licking Dough’s backpack. It still had the spaghetti in it. Then up above them they saw a dark figure with a rope, and another man with a bow and arrow. The man with the rope let down the rope and said, “Climb!” We grabbed the rope and climbed. The man with the rope led them to a place hidden by trees and bushes. The man with the rope then introduced himself: “My name is Charles.” Charles picked up a bottle of cider and chugged it down. Wisher just sat there by Doug and waited for the spaghetti to fall. Then 2 Indians ran up and started shooting bow and arrows at Fern, Jamie, Dough and Bobby! They ran behind a log trying to get away from the arrows! Then the Indians started chanting, “You can not take our princess.” “Who’s the princess?” Fern said, puzzled. Jamie thought and thought; “Maybe Glory’s their princess,” Jamie said. The Indians soon got tired and left. Fern, Jamie, Doug and Bobby followed close behind without the Indians knowing they were there. They soon saw Glory tied to a tree with a rag over her mouth. Fern wanted to yell and run over to Glory and hug her so bad, (and of course untie her), but she knew she couldn’t. Why weren’t the Indians treating her like a princess, they said she was their princess, they didn’t do anything with her, they just left her there. They didn’t do anything with her for the whole day. And they didn’t notice that Fern, Jamie, Doug and Bobby had been hiding in the tall green grass all day waiting for the Indians to go to sleep. Soon enough they were all in their tipis and a faint snoring sound from some of the Indians would often come out with the smoke from the fire. Fern woke everybody up for they had fallen asleep. They scrambled like little mice trying not to wake up the Indians, over to Glory. TO BE CONTINUED INTRODUCTION Bull: We're 5 and we're having a ............. Dog: PARTY!

THE END THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING MOUSE Narrator: One day Little Mouse was doing the can-can on the street. Then a little ducky came along and captured the little mouse. Mouse: Help! Help! I've been captured! Ducky: Don't even think about it! You're not getting away today. Mouse: But why? What have I done? Ducky: Doing the can-can on the street is absolutely illegal in My world. You're coming with me. Mouse: No! No! Don't take me! Narrator: Ducky took little mouse all the way to the big hill and tied him up to the big oak. Mouse: Why are you taking me?

(Caterpillar unties Mouse) Caterpillar: Jump on my back and I'll take you to my tree. Mouse: OK. Narrator: And off they ran. They ran and ran until they came to a very tall tree. They lived there for the rest of their lives. THE END
