Too Many T-Rexes
by Leo, age 7, Washington
Well... it happened again. I got eaten by a T-Rex.
The Opera (It’s Not Boring This Time!)
by Layla, age 9, California
*Note: AlienGirl has a valley girl accent and President has a calm, greatful voice*
Once upon a time, there lived a girl. Not a human girl, an alien girl. She had neon purple skin and laser beam eyes. She was 9 years old, and had a name, AlienGirl. Anyways, She was chilling in her planet called "Whatintheworldareallthelettersinchalkboard" (What in the world are all the letters in Chalk Board) When the president of the planet suddently knocked on AlienGirl's door. The president also had laser beam eyes, but they were rainbow, and played disco music.
AlienGirl opened the door, and was quite suprised to see President there.
President: Oh, AlienGirl! I know you are just a child, but you must go on a mission!
AlienGirl was confused.
AlienGirl: Whaaa? That is supes not cool, Prez.
President: But you must do it! You MUST go to earth to attend... The Opera. *Dun, dun, DUUUUUUN!*
AlienGirl: The Opera? You mean that thang where peeps with voices that are totes too high sing songs?
President: Im afraid so.
AlienGirl: But, like, like, why?
President: You see, The Opera singers this year are villans, and are planning to give everybody who comes to theyre performance serious ear infections by singing WAY TOO HIGH! And, they are advertising The Opera all over earth, so almost EVERYBODY will come!
AlienGirl slapped her hand over her mouth. She was seriously freaked out.
AlienGirl: Ear Infections are totes bad. Thats supes terrible! Like, O.M.G! With, like, ten G's! I'll do it, Prez.
President: WHAT?
AlienGirl: I SAID I"LL DO IT!
President: WHHHATTTT? I CANT HEAR YOU OVER MY DISCO MUSIC!!!!!!!!
AlienGirl: UGH! I....WILL.....DO.....IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
President: WHAT????
AlienGirl screams so loud the disco music stops.
AlienGirl: Huh, I didint know I could turn the music off THAT easily. Mah point is, I'll do it, Prez.
President: OK!!!!! YOUR MISSION STARTS TOMORROW!!! FOLLOW ME TO MY PRESIDENTS OFFICE AND I WILL HELP FIND A COSTUME THAT MAKES YOU LOOK HUMAN!!!
AlienGirl: O....kaaaay. Why you still screamin'? The disco music is off.
President: I DUNNO IVE GOTTEN SO USED TO IT!!!
AlienGirl and President go to the Purple House (Y'know, instead of the White House) and go inside The Presidents Wardrobe, a giant wardrobe the size of a avarage sized human house. Inside the Wardrobe, millions of costumes and outfits of all sorts were displayed.
President: HERE YOU GO! THIS IS THE PERFECT OUTFIT! MAKES YOU BLEND IN SO NOBODY WILL SUSPECT YOUR AN ALIEN!
The president pulled out a costume of a robot. It had a triangle shaped tin skirt, a rectangular box for a shirt, and a cube box that covered the head.
AlienGirl: Uh..prez, that does NOT make me blend in.
AlienGirl pulls out another outfit from the wardrobe.
President: But...that is the same costume.
AlienGirl: Exactly! The one you picked out is one size too small!
THE NEXT DAY
President calls AlienGirl on her telephone.
President: Its time to start your mission!
AlienGirl: Oh, yah. I totes forgot about that. Hey, I see your yellin' problem was resolved!
President: I took some medication.
AlienGirl: Thats supes cool, Prez. I'll be at your house in like, 2 minutes. Ready to start the mission.
After going to the Purple House and meeting President, President guides AlienGirl to the Rocket Ship.
AlienGirl: Im supes nervous, Prez.
President: Listen, I dont mean to be rude but...YOU SHOULD BE. I need you to go stop The Opera from happening. Do whatever it takes. We cannot let all those people be tortured with ear infections.
AlienGirl: Ok. I guess I'll just step into this rocket ship and...WOAH!
The rocket ship makes a loud BOOM as it flys away from "Whatintheworldareallthelettersinchalkboard" and heads toward earth.
After a long ride and a lot of barfing, AlienGirl finally arrives at earth, only 3 minutes before The Opera commences.
AlienGirl: AUGH! IM GONNA BE TOTES LATE!
She rushes threw the crowd of people who are also rushing to see The Opera. President was not exagerating. There were THOUSANDS of people. Running, screaming, shouting people who REALLY wanted to get to The Opera on time.
AlienGirl arrives at The Opera building just in time. She stands in a huge line behind what seems like a billion people. And probably WAS a billion people.
AlienGirl: I dont have TIME for this! I NEED TO GET IN BEFORE THE OPERA STARTS!!!!!!
She says it mostly to herself, but other people definetly heard.
AlienGirl starts pushing everyone waiting in line to get to the front.
AlienGirl: IM FIRST.
She goes up to the Check In Guy.
Check In Guy: Woooaaahhh, dude, you cant just cut the line. But like, whatever. My job is just to check your reservation. And security is late, so its fine on my watch.
AlienGirl: RESERVATION? Isint it like, first come first serve?
Check In Guy: Dude, of course not. We've got thousands of people comin', you think we'll just let people in? Also, why are you dressed in that ridiculous costume?
AlienGirl: Im blendin' in, duh.
Check In Guy: Whatever. Just tell me your name so I can verify you have a reservation and get payed.
AlienGirl starts to panic. She does not have a reservation! So, she does what she know she has to do.
AlienGirl: CHHHAAAARRRRGGGGEEEE!!!!
AlienGirl tackles Check In Guy.
She smiles proudly, but does not notice a car pulling up.
Security.
AlienGirl: Uh, oh.
Security spots her and starts chasing her, but she slams the door and locks them out.
Panting, heartbeating fast, and tired, AlienGirl is in The Opera now, but she knows she does not have much time till security finds a way in. Suddently, she hears clapping. The Opera is starting!
AlienGirl rushes backstage. She is so close to defeting the evil opera singers, but she has to wait for the right moment to attack.
AlienGirl: 1....2....3....NOW!
AlienGirl pounces onto stage, grabbing two of The Opera singers and throwing them high into the sky, using her Alien Super Strenghth. She grabs 2 more, than 2 more, throwing them each into the sky until every The Opera singers were gone. Wiping sweat of her face and grinning, AlienGirl was the happiest person in the world. But then, Security barges threw.
Security: HEY! PERSON IN AN ROBOT COSTUME! YOUR GOING TO JAIL!
AlienGirl gasps. Then she starts crying. But...suprisingly, they were not tears of sadness, they were tears of happiness.
AlienGirl: *Sniff* OH! *Sniff* IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO JAIL! *Sniff* THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
And as AlienGirl walked out the autitorium, with security holding both her hands, she peered up at the sky, and saw the evil The Opera singers still in the air, going up and up until they hit the moon. Litterally. AlienGirl grinnned. Not only had she saved the world from ear pain, her dream of going to jail had also come true.

Roll Call Stories
Cous cous is delicious
by Fird, age 7, UK
It’s cous cous day – a day when everyone eats loads of cous cous. A man called Derek runs a bath and just before he’s about to get into it, he goes to get a drink.
When he comes back, the water in his bath has turned to cous cous. He says ‘Oh, no! Now I need to eat all this cous cous.’
Then he eats all the cous cous and turns into a massive piece of cous cous. And he says ‘Oh well, I’m just going to go for a roll’ and then he realises everyone else has also turned into massive pieces of cous cous and he says ‘Hello!’.
Then he says ‘how can we talk? We’re cous cous!’
And everyone else says ‘Actually, we have no idea!’
Then he goes back home and then he goes to sleep and then the next day he’s still a massive piece of cous cous and he goes back to sleep, then the next day after that, he’s a person again.
He feels a bit hungry, so he eats some cous cous and then he turns into a giant piece of cous cous again and goes ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOO!’.
