The Messed Up Pirate

by Lydia, age 10, Rhode Island

There once was a pirate who got everything wrong like how he says barrh instead of arrh. His name was Barry but everyone called him B.P. It stands for bad pirate. He had a lazy cat instead of a parrot. He named his cat Houdini. His outfit was a striped shirt that said "barrh". and he wore a pink tutu. Don't ask about it. He was a very strange pirate and he didn't do his job right. As a crewmate his captain gave him night duty and he failed. There were two reasons. One he didn't know where to go. His captain told him he would feel it in his bones but he never got that feeling. Two an opposing ship came and when they got close they said give us yer gold! Arrh!!! So Barry said sure! He gave them gold got kicked out ,found a new captain to work for and luckily Barry didn't Get kicked out. At least for now. The new crew was kind of mean and bullied Barry and his cat for his ways. They headed for a cave to get the Ancient Fart repel gem. The gem would give the whole team and the captain the power to cover farts with a tootie frootie smell. When they got to the cave there was a maze and inside of the maze there was a lot of traps. At the end of the maze was the gem. First they ran through a bazes of of fire. Minus 2 crewmates. Then they went through the pit of cold ice. Minus 2 crewmates. Then they went through a jungle of thorns. Minus 2 crewmates. Then they went through the water full of piranhas. Minus 3 crewmates. And now only Barry and the captain remain. They got to the gemstone and there was a message : If you are pure of heart and caring worth gold this gem is yours. The captain said nah just some silly old note. I will just grab the stone and run. But as soon as he touched the gem he turned to stone. Now Barry did not take it well. Most pirates are supposed to be mean and hard. But Barry was kind and tenderhearted. Even though the crew and the captain were mean he still cared about them. And once these thoughts went through his mind the whole crew and the captain appeared. We know what you have done said the captain. We are all sorry. And that is when it got a little teary eyed. The team agreed to leave the gem and call it a day. And from that day on they treated Barry like family.

The Mutant and the Mode

by Arianna, age 12, New Hampshire

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, mutant alexandrite Garfunkel neonboy The fourth was taking his daily trip around the Solar system just for pleasure when suddenly he realized that his fuel gauge was critically low.

Alexandrite knew that he would have to crash land on the nearest planet, which happened to be earth. Knowing that it would be essential to his own survival and the survival of any earthlings below, alexandrite prepared to bring his rocket boosters into alignment and slowly prepare for landing.

Turns out alexandrite landed in the middle of times Square in New York City during fashion week.

Alexandrite was so flabbergasted at all of the glamorous dresses that he wanted to join the fashion designers and make his own glamorous dresses with silk from other planets. At the same time the humans were exasperated by the fact that alexandrite had destroyed their outdoor runway and they were also frightened because he was trying to speak to them and they couldn’t understand his language

At that moment a model walked up to alexandrite and began to speak to him in his language. Turns out she was biracial and had an alien parent and a human parent and was able to speak both English and alien.

When alexandrite brought out some materials from other planets the earthlings thought that he was weird and grotesque but the materials where like nothing they had ever seen before.

Alexandrite decided to work with the biracial model to create a design for the fashion show. He vividly described his ideas and what they would have to do to convert his alien fabrics into human designs.

Alexandrite wanted to create create a dress of opaque blue with oblique angles. They got to work meticulously cutting and sewing the fabric using a technique he has learned from his mother, who was a famous fashion designer throughout the galaxy

So it was an arduous task to complete the dress was picturesque and like nothing humans had ever seen. The model was very excited and taught alexandrite proper etiquette so that he would know how to behave at the big show

The fashion show audience was disproportionately human so alexandrite was worried about what they would think. He knew he might have to deflect negative comments so that they didn’t hurt his feelings

When the moment came that a model came out on stage wearing his dress all of the humans stood up and clapped like a wildfire, cheering and whistling for the beautiful dresses that alexandrite made

Ever since that fateful day alexandrite became an even more famous fashion designer than his mom ever could be. On earth everyone would lineup in a row around the continent just to see his dress in person And He and the model became such close friends that they decide to get married, and they had more biracial children and named them Rachel one Rachel two and Rachel three.

(I named the children before we found out Rachel was from Planet Rachel)

Oh Rats!

by Alexandra, age 7, New Jersey

Once there was a girl named Penelope. She lived with her pet cat Dana. One day, Penelope was reading a book when she heard Dana hiss. She wondered what was wrong. She stomped into the room. “ Dana, I’m trying to read a book hereee… “ She was interrupted by a couple little squeaks. What's that noise? Penelope thought to herself Then Dana pointed a paw at something. It squeaked again. RATS!!! She shouted at the top of her lungs, which also scared away Dana. The rats jumped all over the furniture, they ripped up the pillows, and one even stole some food. “ Oh rats! “ The only thing Penelope was happy about is that Dana had caught one. “ How are we going to get those other ones? “ Then she got an idea. She put two chairs straight across from each other. Then she placed two mouse traps in between the chairs. Penelope put some food in the trap, then her and Dana hid behind the two chairs. The little mice scattered up. Then Penelope and Dana jumped at them with a cage. “ Got you! You will be my new pet! ‘ And they really were fantastic pets!

The Shoe Problem

by Rowan, age 6, Pennsylvania

A looooong long time ago, 400 years behind, there were flopping shoes! The shoes flopped wherever they wanted and they were free. Then people came along and started wearing them on their feet and the shoes were ok with that because it was like they were getting hugged all day. Everyone was happy. But then, the sock company boss got an idea. He created a remote control shoe that flopped away every time the owner tried to put it on. No matter what he did, the shoe just flopped away. That gave the other shoes an idea, they should should start flopping away too just like they used to! Soon no one was able to wear shoes because they would just flop away and everyone had to wear socks instead just like the sock boss planned. But then the robot shoes get destroyed by a superhero and the other shoes remember how much they like to be worn. The end.

Don't Send a Popcorn Kernel Into Space

by Seamus, age 9, Texas

Fred needed a new toaster so he bought a smart toaster from Big Toasters Outlet, where they only sell toasters. Fred asked the smart toaster, “Can you make me toast? Then the smart toaster said “Yes I’ll send a pop corn kernel into space.” “Wait a sec that is not what I said at all!” Fred said confused. Then the smart toaster straps a gigantic kernel to a rocket. Fred frantically asked the smart toaster “Why would you do that?! The smart toaster responded “Because you told me.” Fred answered, “That is not what I asked of you! So is the popcorn kernel going toward the sun. Fred realized that he bought the smartest, yet ornery toaster.
Why would you send the popcorn kernel toward the sun?! The smart toaster said, “That’s what you told me to do.” As the kernel was launched into space and nearing the sun, it started rapidly popping because it reacted to the sun’s heat. Then it eventually became a popcorn the size of the moon.

Fred thought, “I am going to change his software program. Wait a sec, I don’t know if I can change it. Fred thinks of another idea and puts a leash on smart toaster. Then takes the smart toaster on ride in the car. While listening to smooth Jazz, they drove around for 4 hours and found a guy walking on the sidewalk named BIG Bob that looked distress and hungry. They gave him some food and asked for his help. “There is a giant popcorn hurtling back toward Earth! We need help!” Suddenly the cops show up asking for Big Bob because he destroyed a business skyscraper earlier that day.

Earlier that day: Real estate owner as Big Bob destroys his skyscraper: “Not my skyscraper!”

Fred: We better get Big Bob out to outer space to eat the popcorn. Smart toaster, I don’t know why it took me this long, but I am going to name you Jeff.

Big bob: How are you going to get me into space? We are going to straps 100 rockets on you and that should get you to the popcorn before it lands on earth.

Big Bob: Okay that sounds like a plan. I am ready!

Big bob is launched and quickly finds the popcorn and takes a bite of it.

Bob as he takes a bit out of it: Not enough butter or salt.

Fred: We need to send a salt shaker and butter into space strap rockets, so Big Bob will keep eating it!

Big Bob- Thank you for salt and butter! I really appreciate the flavor!

Big Bob finishes the whole popcorn.

Fred: But oh no, Big Bob is now hurtling towards earth too! What do we do?!

Jeff the toaster: I happen to toast a grappling hook.

Fred: What?

Jeff the toaster launches the grappling hook and grabs Big Bob to slow him down.

Real estate owner as they are finishing building his skyscraper: Yay, my skyscraper is done!

And then Big Bob crashes into the skyscraper.

Big bob on top of the skyscraper: Tasty!
