 The Birthday Gun  My brother was so excited it was his birthday and he was having a big sleepover he was staying in the tent. When all of his friends arrived they played in the garage so I decided to sneak in and listen to them. There is one thing that you should know about my brother and that is that he is a big showoff around his friends. That is why I wanted to listen to him and if I heard him showing off I would tease him about it when his friends leave. Anyway I heard him going on about his new shotgun, it was actually quite flash it was a 20 gage pump action camouflaged and he was always bragging about it. Then I heard some bangs and weird noises and then he said," See look at this." I stuck my head out of my hiding spot hoping that nobody saw me I saw my brother holding the gun *#*# BANG ///##!! the noise was hurting my ears. I looked to where the gun was pointing and there was a hole in the wall. I knew that dad wouldn't have heard the bang because he was mowing the lawns and mum was in town so I jumped out of my hiding spot and yelled, "I AM TELLING DAD!" My brother grabbed my shirt and said, "Please, I will do anything." I demanded that my brother had to keep my room spotless for two weeks and for him to give me his new tennis racket over grip. He refused at first but then I walked out the garage door and said "Fine then." He grabbed my shirt again and said, "Oh whatever". Then my brother got down on one knee and begged his friends not to tell mum and dad they all did knuckles and it was agreed. I actually thought that it was going to be a bad two days but infact it was the best two days of my life. As well as the two weeks with a tidy bedroom. By Anna M

.  Trouble at the Movies  “ Hey lets go into the movie theatre” I whispered to my friend. So we bought a ticket and went into the movie theatre. So we just walked in and sat down there was no one in there while we waited for the movie to come on we heard a noise. It was a click click noise. We waited for an hour for the movie. Then my friend wanted to go toilet so she went out and the door was locked. Oh no she yelled. There was a lady standing to take our tickets. So we tried banging on the door but it was sound proof. So that didn’t help us a bit. We were stuck in there. But I remembered that I had my cell phone in my pocket. So I quickly rang my mum. Ring ring. “Oh mum won’t answer the phone. So I quickly rang dad, he didn’t answer. I tried mum again. *Yes* she answered. I said “We are stuck in the movie theatre” She said I know somebody that owns the movie theatre so I’ll ring her and get her to come and open it for you. 20 minutes later click click. Yey we’re safe. Mum was waiting for us. Mum said “Wow that was lucky” By Hailey S.  Holloween Surprise  One day I was walking down the road and I heard a noise. I wanted to find out what it was. Unfortunately it was Halloween night and I had heard the legend. It goes like this… One Halloween night a boy was walking down the road in a country village and he heard a noise he walked around trying to find out what it was. He then saw a big nest up in a tree. He climbed up to it very cautiously. He then saw two eggs he knew what this meant so he climbed down but then it struck. A giant eagle swooped down and grabbed the boy. As legend tells it he was never seen again.. But that was not going to happen because my village believes that holding a magnet was good luck. So I kept walking but I was still looking in all the trees. I stopped at a tree that had been there before and there it was a giant Eagle nest. I climbed up to it but I didn’t care because I had my good luck charm. When I got to the top the tree fell down and then a grumpy guy walked out from behind a tree and said “Damn it you messed up our prop” ‘Our prop” I answered. “Will this answer your question and the whole village came out behind the trees. We all laughed and that was the end of Halloween. By William W

. Locked up at the Pool  “Lu lu lu” I sang as I dried myself off. Sweet sitting on the ground was a 20 dollar note, I picked it up. I was the only one in the changing rooms that was odd, normally they are packed with people. I heard a voice say “I’m locking up”, no no I shouted. To late all I had now was 20 dollars and my togs.. I was going to have to wait a long time before I could get out but wait I heard one more person. I race out and they un lock the door, I was safe. I walked off and I remember I had 20 dollars in my pocket. I used it to get a taxi to get home. When the taxi pulled up at my house Mum was in the garden and hopped up and starred at me. I got out of the taxi, Mum asked me where I got the money, I told her it was a long story. I told her the whole story. She hugged me and said “Well you must be hungry and she gave me something to eat. By Anna S

.  The Sparkling Shoes <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;"> The lights flickered, “Oh no” I said to myself charging into my room. It was from the sparkly shoes I brought. My mum told me to pay the power bill at the post office, but on the way I saw a sparkly pair of shoes. I handed over the money *CHA CHING* went the cash register. Hopefully the power will stay on until tomorrow, so I could pay it off. There was a knock on my bedroom door. I flicked my shoes off and shoved them under my bed. “What day did you pay the power bill”? announced Dad. There was a small silence I didn’t know what to say. “Um, Thursday” I said hoping he would not find out. Maybe I should ring them. “No no I shouted quickly “I will do it”. Thanks!. He went away and I sprinted to the post office. (I couldn’t be bothered phoning them) I took the money out of my brothers money box, so I had all the money I needed. As soon as I got there a sign said “Closed for public holiday, post at back” I ran around and slipped the envelope in the slot. I knew the power wouldn’t be on for at least 1 day. When I got home, the power was on. We had the generator going. It was a waste of time and my legs were like jelly. I could have collapsed. I hope Mum and Dad won’t find out. (I am so glad we had an old generator in the garage) By Hannah Parkes
