TED & HIS BREAD MACHINE: 3 By Liza Obel -Omia
Ted was cooking a chicken. It was only his first time, but every-thing was going along fine. When he was finished, he took the chicken out and smiled. He liked this oven. He started to use it more often, and as he did he liked it more than the bread machine. He even thought about pulling the oven out of its place and carrying it around, but that would be too hard. Ted started to love the oven. Believe it or not, but Ted’s bread machine had a tiny, tiny, mini, not-seeable thing that represented kind of a brain. In that tiny, tiny, mini, not-seeable kind of a brain, the bread machine felt jealous. He loved Ted and wanted to hang out with him. One day, Ted had out a turkey and his bread machine. Instead of grabbing the turkey, by accident
Ted grabbed the bread machine and placed it in the oven, and then walked away. The heat was on and the bread machine got hotter and hotter. When Ted checked on the turkey, he found out that it was the bread machine. He yelled and pulled it out. He called Travis. “My bread machine is burnt!” he cried. “I’m coming over!” Travis said. A few minutes later, Travis arrived. “I brought my TAKE AWAY THE BURN & BROWN® spray in a can.” Travis sprayed the burn & brown stuff on Ted’s bread machine. They let it dry for about twenty minutes, and then… “Thanks! Yay! Yes,” said Ted. Then they had some bread. THE END (for now…) 9

REDFOOTED A Story
Prologue
O
ne dark and stormy night, Kit and Mrs. Rose (a friend of Kit’s mother) were driving to Kit’s house from Max’s (Kit’s best friend’s) birthday party. When they turned down a street, a huge, red pickup with horns on the front slammed into the right door of the car, which propelled Kit out of the open door and into the woods.
13
CHAPTER 1
K
it had a choice to make. Either run from the cops and his father, or return to the vehicle. He thought for a while, but finally made up his mind. He chose to run away. Now, everybody knew the woods were very dangerous. There were wolves and bears there, but there was a prophecy that the first person to go into the woods would be the forest bane (a person with the powers of the forest). Kit ran through the forest, but tripped over a root, slipped, and fell to the forest floor.
14
CHAPTER 2
―
Ugh,‖ Kit groaned as he picked himself up off the ground. He took the energy bar out of his pocket and bit it. He felt a surge of energy flow through him. He found a big, green leaf and squeezed it until drops of water fell into his mouth. A figure emerged from the shadows. ―Welcome,‖ it said. ―Who are you?‖ said Kit.
15
CHAPTER 3
A
rabbit led Kit to a village. People crowded around him saying things like, ―Welcome, Forest Bane,‖ and ―Who is he?‖ The forester asked, ―There are many things you need to prepare for, but which one first?‖ He pointed at a large billboard that read:
―That one,‖ said Kit, pointing to herban arts.
16
―Then you will need a map,‖ said the forester, giving Kit a map. Kit looked at it.

ASK A SHEEPISH DUCK By Erica Dominguez
Dear Sheepie, Dear Sheepie,
My brother always gets all the attention, especially when I’m at home. He comes home with 5 toys and I come home with none. What can I do?
My sister thinks she’s so beautiful, which she is. I try to be as pretty as her, but I’m afraid it will be copying! Ugh! Pretty Sister
Love, Help!
Dear Help,
Dear Pretty Sister,
Well, the best option for you is to taunt your brother with a curly fry. Those are generally effective. If your parents would not approve of the idea (mine would) then maybe you could steal some of his toys and hide them under your bed until he turns 16. Kisses and Hugs, Sheepie
My first best idea for you would be to put hair remover in her shampoo and lye in her moisturizer. Other than that, consider plastic surgery. Kisses and Hugs, Sheepie

BROOMYO AND JULIET A Continued Story
Y
ou’ve heard of Gnomeo and Juliet and Romeo and Juliet. But have you heard of Broomyo and Juliet? They come from two different families who have always had a family feud. One warm, broomy day, Juliet and her sister, Beatrice, were sweeping along the path in the park. Beatrice looked around and spotted Broomyo. He was sitting on a bench next to his brother, Tybalt. “Hey, look. It’s the dorks from next door!” Beatrice said, pointing to Broomyo and his brother. “You pointed your ugly, long, longue-licked finger at me!” Tybalt said, glaring at Beatrice. “That is what a dork looks like, Juliet. Sitting on a bench being lazy and dorkish!” said Beatrice, a little too loud. Tybalt jumped up and shouted, “I’m not dorkish or lazy!” “Oh, do I smell a challenge?” Beatrice screamed.
... 24
Continued. . . “Oh, I think your boogery nose does! But no worries for me! You are just a gal with a stuck up broom who thinks she is smart and pretty.” Broomyo and Juliet smiled at the brooms that had stopped sweeping and stared. Some brooms were even rushing their children away and telling them not to listen. “I hate when this happens,” muttered Broomyo. “I’m kind of used to it, though.” He smiled at Juliet. “Yeah! Remember when your mom started trash-talking mine?” Juliet said with a smile. “Right in the middle of the push market!” “Heehaha, I know, I know.” Broomyo laughed even harder. “Juliet, are you talking to that lowlife machine-made pickle brooma?” said Beatrice. “His name is Broomyo,” Juliet said quietly. “Broomyo, don’t talk to that mean, stuck-up BRAT Beatrice.”
Not to be continued. Make the end yourself.

HOW TO ASK FOR A SECOND OPINION By Kendall Jones
A
rrive with the bare essentials: duct tape, trash can, and a box. Buy low, sell high. Then, dig in your heels, or dig a hole. Yes, a whole hole.
attorney, now. Just dial 1800-IWANTMYLAWYER-2CALLANATTORNEY. Cover your mouth and speak slowly. Make sure the popsicle is plugged in. Be very loud. Don’t get out before it’s too late for cramps.
Next, find a pretty one (as in capes). Now you can call for help, because buying Nicki Minaj tickets are cheap.
Know that this isn’t easy: Find a concrete/grassy field. Remember—no one cares.
Ok, find a table and use a yardstick. Then, diversify your portfolio. Take a large bag to the morgue. You have to be in the right place at the right time. Don’t look before you leap, look after. Do something honorable for not looking. Smile; frown. Learn the law of pickles, and if you get stung, don’t.
Finally, look under the couch. That is how to ask for a second opinion…NOT! I WASTED YOUR TIME! That’ll be $50,000.00 please. P.S. Watch out for the cops. P.P.S. Look on the bright side: You’re down $50,000.00, and I’m up $50,000.00. No bright side for you. For me, maybe. Not you.

SECTOR 9 By Dylan Ingham
H
e was flying. High above the ground with-out a thing to worry about. He looked down at the perfect landscape and saw a wonderful mansion with a sparkly sign above the gold door that said WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME. ―Is that for me?‖ he wondered aloud. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice, that said, ―Yes, it is.‖ He saw his mom, but she was different. Her tone was lighter and less harsh, and there weren’t as many gray hairs on her head, or black bags under her eyes. It was as if his mom had gone back in time fifteen years. ―It is all for you,‖ said the mom. ―Thank you so mu—‖ the boy stopped mid-sentence. He saw that the sky was turning red and the wind was picking up. On the horizon, he saw the land crumbling into dust. ―What’s happening!?‖ yelled the boy. But his scream was lost in the now dangerously fast gales of a premature tornado. It wasn’t premature for long, though. Soon, it became a full-fledged twister. . . To be continued… 43

MUSIC REVIEW By Sam Trachtenberg
“Sexy & I know It” by LMFAO I think this band is good, but completely inappropriate for kids. I mean, come on, people. Do you know what the letters LMFAO mean? If you do, I think you know plenty about this band. Even though people are reading this they will continue to ignore me. Have you ever heard ―believe everything you read‖? The music video is also super inappropriate for the people that watch it. Now this song and this music video have put images in our heads that are unnecessary to everyone.

The thing is, though, every time I get close to him I bite my hand and suck the blood. Then I need more blood, so I have to drink the blood from my water bottle. By that time, Matt has left. ď Œ I love him so much. I wish he would notice me. Maybe he will. Goodbye. - ELizabeth Bite
