WE LOVE THE WIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!

After 16 months of endless hoping and whining, we finally got a Wii! For those of you who don't have one, it's is a game station that uses your motions to move characters. Say Wii Sports, for example. In tennis, you move the Wiimote( I love that name) to hit the ball. In boxing, you jab the Wiimote and the Nunchuk (which is a controller type thingy that connects onto the Wiimote for two hands moving) forward to punch. Wii ( ;) ) got that game and, drum roll, SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL! That's the game every Wii lover has been waiting for! Get the Wii, you won't regret it!

Cool Story for Club Penguin

Here's a story I made for Club Penguin. If you don't understand it, ask your kids. I'll bet they play it.


The Mission- By Bobto23

It was a dark night. Two strangers walked through the blackness. One was wearing a wet suit, the other one wearing night vision. They headed towards the snow forts, but took a different turn into the abyss of the woods. To an onlooker they were merely taking an exploration into the woods. But they were really heading onto a secret mission. They headed down a trap door, ready to be briefed by the master. When they made it down the trap door they met G. He said, “I cannot say who did it, but someone has sabotaged Rockhopper Island. They somehow made it onto the ship, and made it to the island. Your mission is to navigate Rockhoppers motorized row boat to the island. Then find the culprit and stop the sabotage, before all is lost.” The two penguins nodded. They set off for the beach.
**************
When the two finally spotted the island, it was three in the morning, two days after their briefing. “Who could be so cruel as to do this?” the older one said as he saw the sight of burning trees. They immediately started circling the island, when the younger one yelled to the older one to come here. They found a pair of penguins burning the trees. When they asked why they were doing it, the penguins said” Because we hate Rockhopper! He was so mean to us!” Well the agents didn’t want to hear that, so they offered to ask Rockhopper why he supposedly was mean to those penguins. When they found Rockhopper tied up and took his gag off, he yelled” Arggh, those scoundrels! They were trying to hijack me Migrator! When I said no, they tied me and forced me to lead them to my island! When I said no, they threatened to hurt Yarr! Ohhh, I’m going to get those rotten penguins!” When he was done, they untied him, and took the arsonists to Club Penguin. The penguins were sentenced to two years of wiping up spills in the Coffee shop and swabbing the Migrator until you could eat off it. Club Penguin never found out this incident. And that’s the story of the most secret mission of all Club Penguin Standard Time.

This is the Longest Chapter

Chapter 6
If Looks Could Kill……

When Reggie got up that morning, he sensed something was wrong. The air was somehow telling him that it was wrong. Then he heard a faint rustle in the bushes. He then saw a glitter. The glitter was coming from the barrel of an M16 machine gun. He tried to run, but he felt a thump on the back of his head, and everything was gone.
************
When Reggie woke up his head was throbbing. He hoped someone would come and treat it. He started to think about Camille, but soon stopped himself. If he thought about her, he might do crazy things to get back. He took deep breaths, and soon he felt better. He stood up and looked around. He was in a cell about 3 yards wide and 6 yards long. There was, all of a sudden, a knock on the door of his cell, and it opened. In walked a very burly man with a tall thin man standing next to him. The burly one looked in Reggie’s eye and Reggie saw a look of so much hate, he just wanted to ask the man why he gave him that look. The tall one said,”Now Rory, don’t give our guest a look like that. You know he didn’t blow up your tank and your brother. It was that blasted girl, and you know it. This man did nothing wrong, but we’re going to use him as bait. I’m so sorry Mr, what is your name?”
“Reggie” Reggie answered.
“Ah, Mr. Reggie. Would you please sit down? My name is Dr. Ilosophus. Don’t make fun of it, or you shall pay the consequences. Now, I’m guessing that you don’t know why you’re here.” Dr. Ilosophus said.
“Actually, I think I do.” Reggie said. “You’re mad because Camille somehow blew up your tank, and you want to do something to punish her. That’s what it is, isn’t it? Well, if that’s the case, then I’ll try everything I can to stop you.” Reggie couldn’t believe this. If his assumption was correct, then they would try to capture Camille and torture her, and if they really were as cold blooded as they acted then maybe they might…. no. He shouldn’t think about it. It was too unbearable.
“I really would advise against it. You see, this is my assistant. His name is Rory, and he’s itching to punch your brain out, and he almost did when he shot you. I had to lower the gun just for a second so it hit under your brain, and over your arteries. That’s why you didn’t die.” Dr. Ilosophus calmly said. His voice had something that made Reggie calm, and he wanted to ask him for something to help his head.
“Now, here are you’re instructions. You will return to your camp, only with a special transmitter that will tell us what you’re doing and saying. You must bring her to us. If you tell the girl anything, Rory will shoot you, and I will not lose a moment of sleep for it. Once you carry out your orders, then I will reward you. You will die painlessly. We will knock you out with anesthetic then dump you in a pool of sulpheric acid. If you do not carry out your orders, we’ll take out the anesthetic part and just dump you in a pool of sulpheric acid.” Dr Ilosophus said, again very calmly.
Reggie sighed, figuring there was no other way.
“Alright, I’ll help you, but you have to promise that you won’t make Camille watch.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it.” Dr. Ilosophus soothingly said.
“Now, could you please help my head? It hurts.” Reggie asked.
“Of course. But first, I must let you think about what you’re going to do and act like when you get back to camp,” Dr. Ilosophus replied, a little more coldly. He left the room, but not before Rory knocked Reggie unconscious.
***********
When Reggie woke up for the third time that day, he tried to remember where he was. Was he at home, with his mom and dad?“Nope. I’m in the Australian Outback.” He thought. Right then the door opened and in walked Dr. Ilosophus.
“I trust you slept well?” He said, again very soothingly. Reggie nodded.
“Good. I have just built the transmitter. I will attach it to your arm where that blasted girl can’t see it. And if all goes well, she’ll really be blasted. With a pipe bomb.” Dr. Ilosophus chuckled at his joke.
“Well, see you at the lab.” said Dr. Ilosophus. He left. Reggie sat there, thinking. He was glad Rory didn’t accompany Dr. Ilosophus. “Honestly, if looks could kill, I would be dead.” He thought.

Ewwwwww...... (P.S. These kids are 17)

Chapter 5

A Special Gift

When Camille got back she was startled. She saw the most beautiful shelter in the history of the world. It had a little spout for collecting water that poured water through a spinning wheel which created electricity which powered little filters for cleaning the water. It was the most advanced primitive thing she had ever seen.
"Camille! There you are! Did you like our contraption?" Reggie asked her.
"Oh yes. It's the most advanced primitive thing I've ever seen. Oh, I found some raspberries." She replied. She then went back to the bushes to get more raspberries. Reggie went and started building a door to the shelter. He was working hard when Camille came rushing back with a great discovery.
"Reggie I found a beach! Can we go? Please please please!" She begged.
"All right." Reggie complied. An hour later they were staring at the sunset.
"Isn't the sunset beautiful?" Reggie asked.Camille looked at him. They looked at each other for a few seconds. Then they leaned forward and kissed. They lingered like that for a moment then they just came apart, went back to the camp, and each went to sleep in a different part of the shelter.

I can't think of a name for this post........

Chapter 4
The Finding
The next morning Camille got up early to try and see if there were berries on this place. She headed on out and saw the scariest thing of her life. It was a Japanese tank. She decided to run all the way back to where the other students and Reggie were. But before she could run the tank saw her. It started moving slowly. Camille started running. She knew that a tank moves slowly, which she would use to her advantage. After she ran for about ten seconds she tripped over something. When she looked to see what it was, she saw it was a bottle of nitroglycerine.
"This could be useful." She thought. She grabbed the bottle and heaved it at the tank. It exploded and pieces of the tank came rushing toward her. She jumped into some bushes next to her. When the pieces were gone she hopped out of the bushes. She saw her hands were red! She tasted the red stuff and found it was raspberry juice.
"Cool. I managed to destroy the enemy unit AND find food to eat. Reggie will be so proud of me." She thought. She hoped Reggie would have built a nice shelter. She took out a bowl she had made in her pottery class back at the high school and filled it with plenty of the heavenly berries. She then started skipping back to camp.

Master of Disguise

Chapter 3
Everything Is Not What It Seems

"This is not good." Camille said out loud. She and Reggie had just, unknown to them, parachuted in to the Australian Outback.
"Um, Camille? Look behind you." Reggie said. Camille turned around and saw the biggest funnel web spider she had ever seen.
Before Camille could run, the spider came toward her and........ Shook her hand.
"What the?!" She cried.
"Greetings! We are the former students of the Ricky Donny High School. We were wondering if we could stay with you. We were kidnapped by Japanese people when a bomb blew up in our school." The spider responded to Camille's cry. It then revealed itself to be four students in a costume.
"Well, we haven't gotten anything made. We don't even have a shelter." Reggie said.
"No worries. We will help you get a shelter ready. But first, we must think of a name for us. Since we are now together, we are some sort of club. Therefore, we must have a name. Since my friends and I are in every grade of high school, let's be called The United Grades of High School." The students said. Reggie and Camille nodded, knowing their ordeal was only beginning.
