SeaBEAN An Extra Chapter :
from A. Magazine
By Clemmie R. - Year 6
It was a dark and stormy night, and Kit was crying. Mum and Dad were trying to calm her down. Lying in her bed feeling sorry for herself, Alice decided what she was going to do. She had been debating running away for the last couple of days but had chickened out in the last second. She was running away because, ever since Kit was born, Mum and Dad were spending all of their time with the baby.
Just as Alice was putting on her favourite jumper over her pyjamas, she heard Kit stop crying. At that second, she knew it was now or never. She tiptoed to the window and tugged it up, just enough so that she could slip out. Alice ran down the hill as fast as she could, until she got to Indie’s house. Luckily, the window was open in Indie’s room. She slipped in and tiptoed over to Indie’s bed; she was fast asleep, snoring loudly. Alice stood over her for a second, pondering if she should wake her. After a second she decided that, just for good measure, Indie should go with her. Alice had been shaking Indie for a minute when she finally woke up.
“Alice,” she stammered stupidly.
“Yes, it’s me!” Alice whispered intently.
Indie shot up like a bullet. “But why are you here?” she whispered back.
Alice explained her whole plan to her about how she was going to go on an adventure. Of course, Indie was overjoyed.
“Of course, I’ll come with you!” Indie whispered excitedly, and they set off down the hill again, until they came across Sam F’s house.
The exact same thing happened and off down the hill they happily trotted. The same thing happened again with Sam J, and off the four trotted down the hill, to the classroom. When they arrived, they climbed over the fence and over to the SeaBEAN.
“Alice whispered, “Hello!” and pushed on one of the sides of the SeaBEAN; the door popped open and there was the classroom. The four of them stepped inside and the door shut behind them
Alice said confidently, “Lght!” and on flickered a light, just bright enough so they could see. Alice stepped over to the whiteboard and wrote down random coordinates.
