Write a story about the day you accidentally wore your pajamas to the grocery store.

One morning I got super lazy, but I had to go to the grocery store.  So that means I forgot to put my clothes, so I went to town with no clothes.  I went to town in my pajamas.  Something was very weird in town.  They weren't just laughing at me, they were laughing at other people too.  But it wasn't just me in pajamas, everyone else was in pajamas too, even the workers.  So, I kinda fit right in.  So I just got what I needed and I got back home.  Then I remembered I had a doctor's appointment, so I went to the doctor.  But uh-oh I had forgotten to put on clothes, so I went to the doctor's in my pajamas.  Every stop I made that day, everyone had on their pajamas, even the king the president.  This day was getting weird... very weird.  So I just quit looking at people, because it was getting weird.  I went into my house and locked the doors and shut the windows.  This day was getting odd.  So I looked in my books, and found the one to tell me what was going on with these people.  I said, "Ahh-ha, found it!"  But the page with all the answers was ripped out and gone.  So President Gary was still in his pajamas, so I snuck out.  Even though I still had my pajamas on, I went through the forest and found the lost page, by following the clues. ... I was in alot of danger, but a week later, I found the page.  I waved my wand and said the words, and the people remembered to get dressed.  They all had clothes on and me too.  The End.

Thank you very much, I hope you liked my story.

If you could meet any book character who would you want to meet and why?

There are a whole bunch of people I'd like to meet Susan and Reepicheep from Narnia, Tinkerbell, and Kaya from the American Girl books.  There are a whole bunch of people.  But if I could only pick one.  I would pick Reepicheep, because I could talk to fairies at home through my notebook, but I can't talk to Reepicheep.  I want to meet him because he is funny, cool, loyal and he is a mouse.  First I would sword fight with him because it would be fun to sword fight someone smaller than you.  And it would be a challenge because he is really good at moving through the grass and attacking opponents.  We would eat a snack and then he could take me on a tour around Narnia.  I would like to see Aslan and the ruins of the castle where High King Peter, King Edmund, Queens Susan and Lucy lived when they were still in Narnia.  I would like to see the water and tree nymphs.  I would like to hear Reepicheep tell all his stories by a campfire.  I would bring smores from my world to share, and I'd try some of the stuff that Reepicheep and his friends made.

Then if he wanted the next morning I would take him around my world and let him see what it is like I would show him the swing in the front yard and our car.  He thought that was really strange and funny.  After I was done showing him everything, we would say goodbye.  Reepicheep would go back to his own world and I would go back to mine. The End.

The best day I ever had started when...

The best day I ever had started when I heard, "Britt are you still asleep?"

"Momma why didn't you wake me up!"

"You said you could wake up on your own when you were 10."

  Britt fell down the stairs.

Britt ran to the Professor's house, and panted "Where is my Pokemon?"

"So which Pokemon are you planning on getting?"  The Professor asked me.

I said, "I thought about it alot, and ..."

He cut me off, "To save time I'll just give you the only one I have left - Charmander."

I finally had a pokemon, it was the best day ever!

If you could be in the Heraea (the female version of the Olympics in Ancient Greece)
what event would you participate in?

One morning, my dog Neela was barking strangely at something by the front door.  I know it wasn't a chariot, because I hadn't heard any hooves.  So when I went there, she got quiet, and nothing was there.  But when I reached down to pet her there was a message in her mouth.  It said, "You have been invited to be one of people to compete in the Heraea.  Congratulations."   I was struck with excitement, I never thought I would ever be able to compete in the Heraea.  I had only watched in the past.  I told Neela good girl, and that I would sneak her into the room were all the competitor get ready.  I would be competing in the pole vaulting races in three more days.

The Heraea had a whole bunch of people there in a giant stadium.  With people from every corner, even though there were no corners.  So Neela gave me my pole, and gladly I am going last.  Person after person, tried to jump over the 6 ft whatever it's called.  Finally after every single competitor, it was may turn to try to vault over the 6 ft pole.  I was running as fast as I can. AHUHUHUHUHUHUH.  I finally used the stick and leapt over it.  My sandal on my left foot barely rubbed against it.  I got across and landed on my feet.  Most of the other contestants fell as they hit the bar, or landed on their head.  But I got across and ran for the finish line.  The crowd went wild.  I finished the race in first.  I got a little wreath crown, and I put it on right away.  Neela got a big, big bone.  She howled, howled, and howled with everyone clapping and yelling.

(Ruth is convinced that some races would have included pole vaulting, that at least some of the cool competitions would have existed back then, even if swimming didn't.)  The End.

If you could be in the Heraea (the female version of the Olympics in Ancient Greece)
what event would you participate in?

If I was in the Heraea, I would be in the later version and compete in horse riding.  One time I sat on my horse, the next time squatted on my horse.  Then this time, the one I just finished, I standed on my horse.  Then next time, I'm going to balance on one foot while I'm riding.  I'm actually pretty rich, because people want to give me money to see my horse riding tricks.  At night a messenger came, and said you should come to the competition.  So I signed in to compete.  I did all my tricks. First, I did a little trot, then I started to run.  So I squatted, then stood on my horse.  Pretty soon I was  balancing on one foot then my other foot, and then on my hands doing a handstand from a jump.  Finally I balanced on one hand, so with all those tricky moves, I won the competition.

(Apparently I didn't explain well enough that it was a riding and then a racing competition, not a trick competition.)

If you could be in the Olympics in Ancient Greece what event would you participate in?

I would like to do all of them, but if I had to pick one it would be javelin throwing.  See I really like weapons. Most people who know me know that.  And I'm very good at throwing things.  So liking weapons and throwing things adds up to javelin throwing.  The reasons I like it.  One, it's very, very dangerous.  Two, it's very fun.  Three, it takes a lot of energy, so I'm not running around when Momma and Daddy are trying to rest.  Things to dislike about javelin throwing.  One, once I , my arm too far back and poked myself in the eye, and I couldn't see for a few months or a few years I can't remember.  Two, I don't like that everyone is always trying to stab me before I get out of the battlefield.  Three, finally, people are always trying to see my great olive wreaths, for all the competitions I've won.  I'm actually very, very famous.  Even though javelins aren't my favorite weapon, they are the only one that I can use in the Olympics.  I hope they add some swords soon, but it probably won't happen for a thousand years in 1896.  I doubt I'll live that long.

(Write a story from Neela's perspective, about the first time she meets Scout.)

I was in Mother's backyard playing with Mother when I saw somebody.  A white van.  I can't remember if it was 3 ft or 3 miles or 3 whatever.  I saw a puppy in that van, and then Britt, Ruth, and Rebecca came out of that white van.  Then finally Danielle who walked to the other side of the car and got out Kate.  But there was one person missing, but aww it doesn't really matter, because I don't remember his name.

Mother wasn't paying attention so I ran out of her hand to see what was going on.  Mother tried to get me, but she didn't because she couldn't run very fast.  I ran under the car, and Kate saw me.  She tried to come under too, but found out she couldn't go under so she came around as fast as she could.  I ran out from under the van, and tried to get in the house.  But I could not open the door, cause I couldn't jump high enough to reach.  I ran all over the yard to get away from Kate, till Mother caught my leash and took me inside.  Now I'm stuck with Kate, and I'm tired of her chasing me around everywhere.

Then I saw a puppy.  They called him Skip, Scoot, Scout.  I'm not really sure, cause I'm not that good at reading anyway.  So, I decided to try to get through the bars of the gate to meet this new puppy.  But I couldn't fit through the bars.  But Scout was tricky, and unlocked the gate, and I got out.  We started to travel up the stairs, and the cats were loose.  So I started to raise to catch them.  We herded them.  When Mother and Danielle came up the stairs.  Danielle got Scout, and Mother got me.  They closed the cats up.  So, we got put back in the living room.  Then Rebecca said, I found out how they got out.  Something slipped open in the little door, and she locked it back up.  So I don't know how I will get away from Kate again.

When I got away from Kate, I started to look at Scout a weird way.  Looking him up and down, I said, "I think I like you."

Then Scout said his first puppy word, " I like you too."

Then I asked what's your real name?

Scout said, "Scout."

I said, "I knew it!  I knew it was Scout!"

Scout looked at me confused, and then said, "Let's play with your toys."

I said, "Why not."  But just then Mother called me and it was time to eat, so we ate together.  Me and Scout turned out to be best buddies.  I like him, because we are exactly the same.  We both think Kate is a little crazy.  And we both like adventuring, even though Scout can't get up the stairs.  So you know what I said, "I said hey, when I come to your house in a few days, I can help you."

And Scout said, "Sure why not.  When are you coming to my house."

Then I said, "Next week."  I like when he comes to visit, and I like to visit him sometimes too.  The End.

(Ruth was undecided which of two story prompts to use today, so she combined too.  Pretend you are a cat or a dog.  Write about your family from their perspective.  One day you notice a new key on your keychain.)

One morning, I woke up and noticed Ruth in a rush.  It seemed like she was looking for something, but I don't really know.  She came outside, got in the car and started off.  But then she had to come back, go inside, and came back with a bag.  But before she came back, I snuck into the car, and hid under some bags.  I found some crumbs, and after eating them I began to look around.  When I saw a key, a big silver key.  So, a snuck into the front seat, by climbing under and around things.  It was very difficult, especially to keep Kate from seeing me.  When I got to the front, I picked up the key and tried to put it on the keychain with my teeth, but I wasn't successful, so I just dropped it in the bag.  When I went to jump out of the car, Momma closed all the doors and locked them.  When I couldn't get out of the car, I thought, "Everything is going to be fine, I'll just go on a trip."

But then, they put Scout in the car.  So I hid under the passenger seat.  After a bit the car suddenly stopped, and I wondered where we were.  I peaked out the door, and then decided to go and explore the place.  I think it was called Pet Co, but I'm not very good at reading.  But, I am very good at sneaking, so in I went.  But for some weird reason, the doors wouldn't budget.  Then a human walked up, and the doors opened so I followed them in.  When the doors closed, I looked around and there were dogs everywhere, surrounding me.  So I only had one thing to do... I ran as fast as I could underneath the biggest dog.  But my tail got soaked with slobber.  Yuck!  I dashed from aisle to aisle, trying to find a spot to hide.  When I finally found an opening, I slid underneath one of the shelves.  I saw through a door that all my human servants - Momma, Ruth, and the rest - were leaving.  I was stuck inside Pet Co.  I ran to the door in time to see them drive and park across the road in an apartment building parking lot.  I saw every single one of my slaves walk into the building.

For the next few hours, every time the door opened, I tried but I wasn't fast enough.  So I decided to just stay by the door, but then one of the Pet Co managers saw me and grabbed me and put me in the cage.  After three miserable days stuck in Pet Co with so many dogs barking.  Ruth came back and Momma said, "Hey Ruth, that cat looks like Flynn."

Ruth said, "Yeah it does.  I wonder where Flynn is,.  He's been missing for a few days."

So I tried to tell Ruth that it was me.  But she's pretty stubborn, and didn't understand a thing I was saying.  Doesn't she speak English!  But, luckily I was one of the cats on bottom, and one of the managers had dropped a silver key.  So I reached for it, but it was just out of reach.  Kate saw me and I thought I was done for, but she picked it up and gave it to me.  Then, as I took it, I dropped it.  Kate picked it up and put it into the keyhole. I tried and tried and tried to turn it, but it just wouldn't budge.  Eventually a dog came along, and tried to bite my paw, but it bumped the key just enough to turn it.  I hissed at the dog, and when he ran off, I quietly opened the door and snuck out.  I barely made it into the car, as the door slide shut, and Momma locked the doors again.

But then as I rode, I started thinking.  That silver key that Momma has looks alot like the key that the manager lady dropped.  I thought and thought, but couldn't quiet figure it out. Momma then looked for her phone, she found the silver key that I had placed inside her bag and hooked it onto her key chain.  When I looked more closely I saw a super small letter p engraved on the key.  So, I decided to make Momma and Ruth understand, but the car stopped again.  But I was afraid that we were in another place like PetCo, but we were home.  Momma went to grab her keys, while Ruth went to the back porch.  I hoped down and wrote what I thought was PetCo, with my claws in the sand on the driveway.  Ruth walked up and saw my attempts to spell PetCo, and I nudged the key.  So Ruth showed Momma the key and said, "Flynn drew something in the sand, but I don't think he knows how to spell.  Maybe it says popcorn."

But I heard all of this and I was mad.  After a bit they figured out it was Petco.  So all my human servants, got back in the car, and took it back to PetCo and told the manager sorry.  So they came home, and Ruth sat down on the back porch to hold and pet me.  This adventure wasn't much fun, I think I prefer staying home and eating squirrels.  It was a cat-astrophe.  The End.

(When we were talking about names for Scout we talked about some Greek names because we are studying ancient Greece right now.  While we were talking Momma said we should have named Flynn Aries because he's so blood thirsty.  That's when Ruth and I decided he should be Hades the god of the underworld.)

Once upon time, I, Flynn, was in Egypt and I was tired of hearing Anubis's speeches.  I can't remember if they were three days, three seconds, three hours, or three centuries long, but anway, I was tired of listening to him in Egypt.  So I decided to travel to Greece.  There I met Hades.  I said, "You should go on vacation and get a rest, and I'll take care of business here."

"Ok, I guess I'll go on a small vacation."  Hades replied.

The dogs found out about my move to Greece, so Scout told Zeus, "Maybe you should go on vacation and get a little rest.  I can take care of things here while you are gone."

Zeus replied, "Sure I'll go on a little vacation.  And I'll take Hercules along with me."

So I, Flynn, King of the Underworld, decided to summon my headless ghost squirrel army.  To take down Olympus, so I could get my revenge on the dogs and Scout.  Scout took my glory, my human servants, and messes with my tail, so he had to pay.  So Dog-ules (which is Scout) and Rusty Zeus (a dog neighbor of Ahna's) herded up their allies, the goat army, to stop me and my ghost squirrel army, (which have no heads, since I have beheaded all the squirrels).  But my army was not enough, Dog-ules and his goat army were too strong for me.

So I got Severus my three headed squirrel, the only squirrel that I allowed to keep his head, because he was a giant squirrel whose heads were too big to fit in my mouth.  It would have taken me a century to eat each head.  Severus came to the battlefield and scared the goats away.  There was only one thing for Dog-ules to do, he went to the pantry, and got his year's supply of acorns.  He threw them, and the biggest one went all the way back to the underworld, and rolled in to Severus's cage.  So Severus became trapped.  So it was down to Dog-ules and me, Flynn, King of the Underworld. So I pounced and scratched him, but he bit me in the tail, and slung me back into the underworld.

Three Days later.

"Hello, Flynn, how are you doing?  AAAAHAHHHHHH!"  Hades was MAD when he found out that I had replaced his three headed dog with Severus the three headed squirrel.  He was also less than thrilled that I had replaced his army with an army of headless squirrels.  "The worst part of all is that you have HUMILIATED ME!"  He screamed.

Then Hades caught me on fire, and I ran and yelled, "AAAGGGGHEHAGHHGHGHAAAHHHH!"

Then Zeus and Hercules came back.  "Ahhh, that was a relaxing vacation, would you say Hercules?"

"Yeah, Dad, it was great!" Hercules replied.

"Look Hercules, cute goats.  Let's keep them," said Zeus.  So they decided to keep the goats.  And needless to say Scout Dog-ules gets to visit Mt. Olympus anytime he wants.  I had to go back to Ruth's house, to live in the yard, and Scout got to go back to Britt's house, and hang out-in the house- when he isn't outside messing with my tail.

Two Days later.

Zeus was strolling around Mt. Olympus when he wondered, "Hmmm, what happened to my army?"

The End.
