One day a nurse was working at a nursery full of 180 babies, she didn’t like her children/babies. She was in the middle of trying to calm one down, so she wasn’t really paying attention and someone snuck in. It was a scientist who was trying to invent a machine to turn humans into dolls because he had an awkward obsession with them.

“What are you doing in here, parents and doctors ONLY!!” Then he pulls a weird looking device from out of his pocket, he aims it at her and pulls the trigger. “NOOOOO.” The nurse then turned into a doll. He took her and drove her to his lab. 

She still had the ability to walk, she was traumatized at first, but then she realized what she could do. She escaped two weeks and took two devices, one was a shrink ray and the doll- a- fier. She clicked the revere button and turned herself back into human. Since most of her career was taking care of babies she hated them, and the job didn’t pay very well. She snuck into the hospital and shrunk all of the babies. She quickly grabbed all of them, shoved them into her sac, and jumped outta the 1st story window after she used the elevator. She took them back to her house and went to the basement. She cleared everything outta the basement and started setting things up and ordering supplies. The supplies include things like The shrink ray, the doll-a-fier, some selling supplies, and some decorations. She intended to sell these babies as decor and it wasn’t going to be easy. 

“Honey, what are you doing down he-” Her husband didn’t even finish before be got frozen in place by the doll-a-fier and then the shrink ray. “No one can know my plan!” she insisted on nobody…

“Let’s wrap a blanket ’round us And go flyin’ into outer space We could be famous, speak a different language Make our great escape I’ll chase the stars inside your eyes And follow you into the great unknown We’ll be alone So let’s just play pretend and find a secret place When the world around us says that we should act our age The day is gonna come when there’s no time left to waste But we’ll never grow up, I say we hide away And build a city, something out of nothing Make this place a home, a home Stay make-believing, we’ll go disappearing Who would ever know? We’ll never be too far apart ‘Cause in the end, you and I both know There’s somewhere we can go So let’s just play pretend and find a secret place When the world around us says that we should act our age The day is gonna come when there’s no time left to waste But we’ll never grow up, I say we hide away Just want to hide away Hide away, hide away Hide away, hide away We’ll never grow up Just want to hide away Hide away, hide away Hide away, hide away So let’s just play pretend and find a secret place When the world around us says that we should act our age The day is gonna come when there’s no time left to waste But we’ll never grow up, I say we hide away So let’s just play pretend and find a secret place When the world around us says that we should act our age The day is gonna come when there’s no time left to waste But we’ll never grow up, I say we hide away Don’t make me grow up, I say we hide away-Grace Vanderwaal”

 The music echoed in Joy’s  head, over and over, wishing it coiuld be reality. She loved that song so much, and day after day it echoed in her head. She thought about the past, every time she heard that song, but it wasn’t the past, it was right now. That song meant so much to her, and her friend, Kate thought she was weird becuse she liked that song, and she didn’t like it at all. Infact, she straight up hated the artist.  Kate could be very hurtful at times, but not all the time.. Anyway, Joy had lots of drama in her life. But this, she thought, was the worst drama in her life. Joy liked to listen to this song a lot, but it did cause her trouble because somethimes because it was so loud, and she was in her own world, that she didn’t hear people when they were talking to her, and she got in trouble. But she did like other songs. But this one was her favorite.   She thought that this song might mean something, and it was maybe trying to tell her something, because even when she hadn’t been listining, it still echoed in her head. It was an echo that would never go away. 

Recap: The last time we left off was when Me,Atrau,Amore, and Courtney went back to Earth and found that we left something essential which was Courtney’s parents. So, now in the present we’re on a quest to return Courtney’s parents back to Earth.

“What are we gonna do now?” said Atrau immediately. “Well we still have the rocket ship.” I said. Just then… Adam came flying high in the air with his dirt bike, that he smashed into the rocket ship. “Adam what did you do that for!” exclaimed Courtney. “Did what?” said Adam. “Owe, hit the rocket ship. Ya that was an accident” he said. We all didn’t know what to do now.

Then, the Pioneer Woods owner started walking up the path. If he saw the broken rocket ship and the dirt bike we would be screwed. “Quickly!” said Amore “What do we do?” “I got it.” I said. I squirted the last of the potion which makes you small on the rocket ship and the dirt bike as soon as the owner came walking up the path. “That was a close one.” said Courtney. Indeed, it was.

“What happened to my dirt bike it’s all small I had to pay 9,000 dollars for it!” said Adam. “To bad so sad.” said Amore. “That’s it, I’m leaving,” said Adam. He walked slowly away. “Guys I found a near NASA we could go to.” said Courtney with excitement. “It says if you dig up the most interesting item in the ground you’re allowed to fly to mars with the astronauts.” I said in curiosity. “I can help.” said a mysterious voice. We were all scared.

“It’s me” Owen “ said Owen. “I heard about you your the junior archeologist” I said with excitement. “Yep that’s me.” he said. “So we were wondering if you wanted to join us on our quest to find an interesting thing in the ground.” said Atrau. “Owe that, I’m pretty sure that’s a scam but what the heck I’ll join you on your mission.” Owen said. So we started to dig, we bought snacks just incase if we’re hungry.

We started digging when Amore noticed that there was already a hole there. “Guys there’s already a hole with air coming out of it, why not we just jump right through it?” said Amore. So we did and jumped. Suddenly, we all saw that on the side of the dirt there was a fan. It blew us off and landed in a dirt dungun. We were all stuck.

“Let’s get out of here.” said Atrau impatiently. “Uh, Atrau I forgot to bring shovels.” said Amore uncomfortably. “What, didn’t I recommend you start collecting them this week?” said Atrau. “Uh, I’m an airhead” said Amore. “Couldn’t agree more better.” said Owen in a despicable way. “I am feeling sick.” said Courtney feebly. “What’s that?” said Amore questionly. “Wait, I think Courtney’s vomit could set us out of this dirt dungun.” I said. So, we all shook Courtney up so fast that it’ll make her throw up. Suddenly, she threw up on the floor which made another hole. We jumped in and set off on our journey.

“Ha, I’m so glad that your vomit got us out of that dungun. It’s just smooth sailing from here.” said Owen. “I wouldn’t be too sure about that Owen. Coutney’s vomit isn’t eroding as fast as we’re falling!” Said Amore screaming. “What do you mean?” Said Owen confused. “If anyone of us touches the acid will distentrage.” said Atrau worried. “I don’t know why your freaking out Atrau?” Said Owen. “Why not?” said Atrau. “Didn’t you get that invisible jetpack from Santa Claus, Which we can fly out of here.” said Owen. “Oh, right.” said Atrau happily. “Everybody grab onto Atrau.” said Owen. “Yay!” We all said excitedly.

Adam came back to apologize for what he had done, he realized that no one was there. Then… he saw the hole that we jumped in. “That’s funny there’s air coming out of it.” said Adam weirdly. He threw mud on it which made the air stop coming up. He jumped in and went past the dirt dungun we’re in. He landed safely and walked a few feet, Until he got to an unknown place. 

“Oh, my gosh it’s an inverted planet! Wait, no it’s not an inverted planet it’s B.F.D.I. Which stands for Buried Forest Deciduous Insulated.” said Adam excitedly. He found a hot spring where he can sit and relax. After a few minutes, he realized why it was so warm and soothing. “Well I could be next to a volcano imagine that lol.” said Adam kiddingly. Just then, out of the hot spring water lava rushed up. “I gotta run!” said Adam hurringly.

He got out of the forest and there was a bomb in the way tripped on the bomb and fell. “Ow, was that a bomb?” said Adam. Then, the lava entered the tunnel, Adam had to come up with an idea fast. “Wait, what if I put fire on the bomb, then stand on it so I can go into the dirt dungun.” said Adam. He did all of those steps and got exploded into the dirt dungun and fell threw Courtney’s vomit.

“We’re gonna make it out of here.” said Atrau. Just then, Adam fell through the hole and said. “ Aw, we’re gonna nail it aw.” “How did Adam fell throw our tunnel that makes no sense?” said Amore. “It probably means nothing, but is it me or is it getting kinda hot?” said Owen. The lava started covering the dungun. “Oh know Atrau turn around!” said Owen. We caught Adam while he was flying. So, he doesn’t touch the acid. “Oh, I forgot the acid floor!” said Amore. “I don’t want to get disintegrated!” said Adam. “Atrau, you gotta turn around.” said Amore. “Oh, I forgot the lava ceiling!” said Amore. “I don’t want to get burned!” said Adam. “Atrau, turn around.” We went back and forth so many times. That, we were trapped. “Guys we’re trapped!” said Atrau. The only way out is Courtney’s barf. “But her stomachs empty!” said Amore. “Not if it gets a refill.” said Courtney. “Oh, okay then Owen you can get eaten.” said Amore. “What no!” said Owen. “Alright, Courtney you heard him go eat Owen.” said Amore. Courtney ate Owen. Which made her throw up. We jumped and we landed on a metal floor. “Ow.” said Adam. “Hold on, what’s this?” said Amore.

“I think we’re at the bottom of the world,” said Adam. “Well I hope not, so then we can’t escape the lava.” said Amore. “C’mon Courtney help me dig.” said Amore. Courtney didn’t dig. “Well, if it’s not Courtney why not you Saaketh you’re strong.” said Amore. I attempted to help Amore.

“Guys, I can’t believe you are not helping me. The lava is a few feet away!” said Amore. “Its because it’s a lost cause Amore,” said Adam. “Now hold on you do wrestling, you should have a muscular chance at breaking.” said Saaketh. Adam banged his muscles to the metal floor. It made a siren noise. “I don’t know what sirens are because it’s gonna kill us!” said Amore. The lava came down and killed Amore. “That’s why it’s nice to be short for once.” said Atrau. “Saaketh your medium height.” said Atrau. I flipped to my side so I can avoid the lava. We all tried to break the floor. The only two survivors were me and Adam. Atrau and Courtney died from being burned from the lava.

“The lava will start flooding the floor heading for the stairs!” said Adam. “Also, I’m sorry for starting the lava, I didn’t mean it.” said Adam. “It’s okay,” said Saaketh. We ran so fast upstairs that there was lava coming down the stairs. “Oh, I think the lava was overflowing, so it came out and came to this door.” said Saaketh. “Door, What door?” said Adam. “Did you realize that this is an underground science factory.” said Saaketh. “Oh shot, the lava came down the stairs. We need to come up with an idea fast!” said Adam. “Look!” said Saaketh. “Wow, definite garbage shot!” said Adam. “Hm, Saaketh I think you can fit if you turn on your side.” said Adam. “Ya, I guess it’s the end of the line for you.” said Saaketh. So, me and Adam greeted us goodbye. I jumped so far that at the same time I saw Adam parash into the lava. I went in the definite garbage shoot.

I went through a lot of obstacles, I even passed a big waterfall. Then, I saw a pretty thing glowing in my eyes. It was an emerald. 

I went past the obstacles and went up the hole we fell in. I found a map on the floor right next to Courtney’s house. The NASA space station was nearby. I walked a few feet and there it was. I got the emerald to the international space station. They said “You can go to Mars. But, not right now because the space shuttle is broken.” “What!” I said.

Snapchat, Tik Tok, and Netflix are very common apps people use on their phone. If these apps were taken away their would be some very angry teenagers. Most people use Snapchat way more than the average time, along with Tik Tok and Netflix. After a lot of students get home from school about all they’re doing is using these three apps on their phone. This generation’s screen time is way too high for each of these apps and we need to spend less time on these apps.

The average time of teenagers to be on their phone is about five and a half hours, which is a lot. Although I know a lot of people who’s average screen time is eight-nine hours per day. Imagine how much of that time is spent snapchatting people. Sending a picture back and forth for hours day after day, posting things on your story for your friends to see, and making funny videos or picture for your friends to see. 

Tik Tok used to be an app called musically, but recentley the app became popular again and now hase 500 million active users. Tik Tok has something called the foryou page where you can see users who you don’t follow and are probably famous. Then there is a following page where you can only see people who you follow. Tik Tok is an app where you make music videos, most videos are about 10-15 seconds long. This app is where most people post funny but serious videos of them and their friends. 

Netflix isn’t just an app that most kids are on, there’s a lot of parents who watch Netflix. There is a kids mode and not kids, so that toddlers aren’t watching innapropriate or scary shows/movies. Netflix comes out with one season at a time per show, they may start with one season and then later on add another.  When you’re bored, there’s nothing better to do than watching your favorite show or movie with your favorite actors. 

Snapchat, Tik Tok, and Netflix can solve all of your problems of boredom. When you’re complaing to your mom about being bored, just go on one of these apps. You can watch other people’s music videos or make some of your own, send your friends silly pictures, or watch the most entertainig show on Netflix. These app’s have saved many wasted hours of complaing about being bored.

There was a time long ago there was a military Army base B2 was in war and the was a general commander and a caption and a lot of privates. The Army got separated from the group the group couldn’t find their soldiers and the general said “There isn’t any more time we need to move,” And the soldiers move along with the general. 

The lost soldiers were looking around and there was about 25 soldiers and the one soldier said “can we rest for 5 minutes sir”.

 Commander officer said yes and told us to set the camp. The group and the Commander were wondering why the general sent scouts to find our group. The commander was so angry about the general decision. He was mad at the point that he wanted to declare war with the general.

The commander approached the group they looked at him and jumped into the air and stand up straight he announces “stand up if any of you soldiers want to join the fight to destroy the general.” 75% of the soldiers neald down to join the commander. The other soldiers look around and tried to run away but the soldier jump on top of most of them but the captain and a few troops ascap they ran into the fog and found a cave. The captain hollered, “make sure your weapon is off safety.

” luckily we still have men.” 

One of the soldiers yelled, “Captain, so since the general abandoned us and the Commander wants us dead what are we then?” 

The Captain was thinking about the General because he left us and he wouldn’t want any Witnesses so he wouldn’t go to prison so he would either way kill us, and the commander will kill on sight if anyone or anything would get in his path. 

The captain and his troops decided to become Rebels. They look around and shouted Rebels constantly.

  How my life would be if I didn’t have sports to play and get better by. 

In my life sports comfort me it’s where I turn to if anything is wrong its my safe place if I didn’t have it, I wouldn’t be able to imagine what shape I would be or what my life would be like. 

    To start with I have basketball practice, soccer practice, or some kind of training every night and this takes up a lot of time of my life its all worth it and I love it but it does take time for school and being with my family. If I didn’t have sports I think I would be much better at school and be a better student sports is good but sometimes it takes away from school. I also would be much less tired if I didn’t have sports it drains a lot of energy and sometimes you don’t get home from practice or games till late and then you still have to do school work. 

    On the other hand I am in much better shape because of sports and the reason I am where I am is because I play sports and helps you a lot for getting stronger. Playing sports also helps with making friends and having a good friend group to hangout with at school and other places. If I didn’t play sports I could be hanging out with bad people maybe and wouldn’t have a great friend group that I have. Sports helps with lot of physical things too that help you get stronger and feel better overall. 

      In a Addition, when you play school sports it encourages to keep your grades up so you can play the sport you love. If you do play a school sport then you have to have good grades if you want to play, one For two and you can’t play so you want to keep up with school and be smart so you can play. 

     In Conclusion,Sports takes away time in your life and my have a effect on school and rest but its worth it if you want to be the best. You get to make a lot of friends and being in sports helps you stay with the right group of kids. If I didn’t have sports I would be much less athletic and wouldn’t be where I am physically. If I didn’t have sports I wouldn’t be my self my life would be much less exciting 

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful village in the middle of nowhere and it was so peaceful that if you did a crime you only got fined or put in jail not whipped or killed. But one dark day a villager was picking carrots when donk he just barley was shot by an arrow and the arrow hit a house. The villager then screamed and rang the bell and all the other villagers screamed and went in their houses and the one who rang the bell was, thump dead. The ones killing them were pillagers they were breaking their doors down and killing them. But then a stranger with nice shiny armor came and first shot one with his bow then a pillager shot him with his crossbow but that did nothing to him at all he chuckled then dashed and slice chop slice the pillager was out cold. Then a huge elephant looking thing cames and started trampling him but he was able to take him out with a couple of slices.

Then Pillagers with robes came and started bringing huge alligator-like mouths out of the ground but the stranger was able to dodge all but one that came from behind another so he jumped up and darted to the first then the next and took them out. But from behind an axe was thrashed right in his back he stumbled a bit but then got up too looked and said since when did you guys have axes. Then a shot from a crossbow hit him in the head but the armour protected it so he was fine but more and more shots at him. Then suddenly one to the face got him he was dead after almost saving the village only 4 had to take him down. But the pillagers raided the village burned it down and killed all of the villagers the end.

Prologue ~ Luke

Hi, I am Luke and I am so excited about our youth retreat tonight. First, I’m going to tell you a little about myself and my family: The Elliotts. I am the oldest in my family and I have a younger brother(twin…same difference) and his name is Dalton. Sadly, you will hear more from him later in this book. Obviously, I got the first part because I am older, but whatever. Dalton doesn’t have a girlfriend, but I do. Her name is Mackenzie and she is literally the best. I wish I had a sister like her instead of Dalton. 

Prologue ~ Dalton

Was up! I am Dalton Eliott with a twin brother Luke. He is only a bit older than me, but I have to carry him around all the time because he is immature. I am always helping him with absolutely everything. Anyways, I will be starting high school next year with Luke and it is going to be a blast. I am one of the two coolest people in my grade, other than Luke. Everyone knows who we are and we are loved by everyone we meet. In fact, we are going to go to our youth group tonight for a lock-in and I am so excited. We are going to meet up with our best friend Micah and walk to church together.

Chapter 1 ~ Luke

I. Am. So. Excited!!! Youth Group is going to be a blast! We have our yearly lock-in and I am so ready! Last year I fell asleep in front of all my friends and they drew on my face with a magic marker. It was so embarrassing. That was before Mackenzie and I were dating and I thought she would never like me after that but here we are. I am not going to let that happen this year. I need to pack my clothes and shoes because we will probably play a lot of sports and games. I literally can’t wait. Like, you don’t even know.

Chapter 1 ~ Dalton

Youth Group is in an hour and I have to get ready. We are having a onesie party so I am going to wear my rubber ducky onesie and Luke will wear his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles onesie. Why are we so weird? Mom is making brownies for us to bring and my dad bought us some popcorn and pretzels. It’s almost 6:45 and Youth Group starts at seven. 

“Luke!”, I screamed up the steps.

“Yeah?”

“It’s almost time to go!”

“Ok, I will be down in a minute.”

“I am going to go get our bikes from the garage.

Luke and I always ride bikes to Youth Group. We only live a few minutes don the street from them, so we thought we would save our parents a drive and we could get some exercise. I walked out into the garage to pull our bicycles from their racks. Mine came down with a thud and Lukes barely made it. I walked them out to the driveway and set them on their kickstands. Luke was just coming out of the house when I finished.

“Hey Luke, ya ready?”

“Yeah, I got our backpacks together and put the snacks in a drawstring bag.”

“Great!” 

We hopped on our bikes and pedalled away, racing each other, not knowing we would be abducted very, very soon.
