Story Starters

Icy fingers gripped Tsunami's arms in the darkness... 

   "Arghh! You stupid animal!" Tsunami yelled, cursing under her breath. "I'm not an animal!" Another voice yelled. "I'm a dragon, and I'm NOT stupid!" Tsunami calmed down, well only a little bit. " You. Are. A delusional squid brain!" She yelled angrily. "Shut up, they're going to hear us." Riptide whispered.         Tsunami shivered, " Well I hope they don't, now with Shark on their side." Riptide looked Tsunami in the eyes, " Shark has no chance against the two of us." He said smiling, " I know that for sure, and I bet Shark   knows that two." Tsunami looked down and shuddered, " I can't believe he murdered Oyster just after I left. Poor Oyster."  Riptide sighed dramatically, "I don't know why shark would murder your sister, but I      do know why he wants to murder you next." Tsunami looked shocked and asked, "What do you mean?" Now It was Riptides turn to looked shocked. " Tsunami, I seriously don't know, but I think I heard Shark discussing murder in the dungeons."  " OK, now how did you get all that information?" Tsunami asked,          teasingly. " Huh? What? Oh! Since I did the deed, Queen Coral assigned me to do all the important guard post areas! Guess where? The court and the cellars! Now I can eaves drop on dragons!" Riptide babbled on eagerly. " You little dragonet!" Tsunami whispered, tugging on Riptides breast plate. " I'm NOT a dragonet!" Riptide shouted, totally missing the point of being quiet. "NO!" Tsunami hissed, "Shark!"

Hamanatua Stream Hike

Yesterday, on the 28th of September, 2021, half of my class were scurrying around, trying to get a free bathroom,  because we were going on a hike up the hamanatua stream, and no one, no one, wanted to go bathroom there. Because guess what? There were none! So, on the 28th of September, 2021, half of my class were scurrying around, trying to get a free bathroom. The girls bathroom is extra small, so there was a line bigger than me! Probably 15 times of the length of me! It was massive! I ended up going in the little kids bathroom. 

Before I knew it, we were lining up in single file, on the class deck with our medium sized bags on our backs. Suddenly we were moving across the road, and onto the walkway. Halfway there, I met Rio's mum Natalie, walking their dog Coco. I said,  " Hi, Natalie!",  and kept walking. It was nice to see my neighbor, it made me smile. 

Soon enough, we were up Scarlys Way, and Koka Rozie was opening the gate into the property. First we had to jump over a small stream. My idea was to throw my bag over the stream on flat, dry land, then jump over the stream myself. Luckily enough, Matua Steffan caught my bag in mid air, and I jumped over the stream with no problem. 

 We had to wait for the others to come, but once they did, we started walking again. We walked in mud, water, poo, more mud and lots more. finally we reached our destination we had a little break and then we headed back. We passed the enviros group when we were crossing the bridge to get to school.

Once we were at school, we took our socks and shoes off, and started playing outside. It was pretty fun, even though my feet were numb. 

In the afternoon when it was pick up time, mum hugged me and showed me the new swimming cap she got me. OMG! It was iridescent purple and it was a glow in the dark. Not that I swim in the dark!

I had the best day that week! Whew! 

Story Starters: I Couldn't Believe My Eyes!

 I couldn't believe my eyes!

About a million different lanterns swayed in the breeze, illuminating the path underneath me. It was the most beautiful thing I had seen in my life! I was so lucky that I could even come to Japan in the  dark. 

The airport was only a mile away from here , so I decided to take a look around. My friends, Cornelia and Ivy, were gaping at me as if I hadn't noticed that a million beautiful glowing lanterns were floating above my head.

I grinned at them and raced forward, hands outspread, enjoying the scene. Cornelia caught up with me and giggled quietly pointing at Ivy. I didn't realize what was so funny until I looked over to Ivy and saw that she was running under a large dragon that swept her up in the air and soared over the lanterns, Ivy was squealing with delight as the dragon blew a plume of smoke through his nostrils.

We chased them until the dragon had had enough time flying with Ivy, he landed with a ground rumbling thud and Ivy hopped down from his large taloned claws, the dragon fist bumped Ivy and accidently sent her flying in the air, she landed in a small bush. You could tell that Ivy was having the time of her life. {It wasn't everyday that you'd meet a dragon and fly with it!} 

We quickly went to the sushi shop and ordered some sushi and japanese drinks. Later, Cornelia Ivy and I were making ourselves comfortable in the plane that would bring us back to nz, Auckland airport, then jump on another plane there and fly all the way back to gisborne, our home.

   If you were wondering if this was real, I'll assure you this is fake. Although, I wish it were real! It would be super cool! 🐉

     No one took notice of him, as if he was invisible. Sometimes they walked right past his tent and didn't even flinch. They're completely ignoring me! Eagle thought angrily, They should at least say hello! Eagle sniffled a little then sneezed. A plume of smoke erupted from his nose. Humph! Eagle sneezed again, this    time a sprout of fire flew out of Eagle's snout. The fire caught the cotton fabric on the tent, and started building up. Uh, oh! A small voice inside the back of Eagle's head screamed. 

       Suddenly the whole tent caught on fire. Eagle tried to move, but his feet were glued to the floor. "Help!" Eagle cried, "Somebody help me!" Eagle heard a distant scream from outside the tent, It must          have gone right through the fabric! Eagle realized. 

Eagle pulled his feet away from  the dusty floor, and stumbled. He quickly got to his feet and scampered       over to the cupboard where the water vessels were stored.  They were quite heavy, since they were full with cold refreshing water.  Eagle trudged over to the fire, and splashed the water everywhere. Eagle         occasionally broke a few water vessels, but other than that, Eagle was doing well. 

    The fire was finally out, and Eagle was huffing and puffing. Whew! Eagle thought, That was hard work and I made it! Eagle collapsed to the floor with hardly any effort. He rolled over fast as a giant water vessel crashed where he would have been if he hadn't moved out of the way.    "Jeez!" Eagle muttered, " Didn't see that coming!" Eagle was slowly getting up, when a small dragonet flew in from outside the tent. " Watch out!" Eagle shouted, as the small dragonet collided with the Eagles stomach.        " Orghhh, Whahh?" Eagle groaned.  

The small dragonet looked over to Eagle and squeaked in surprise. "EEP, EEP, EEP!"  Eagle looked sideways and walked over to the squeaking dragonet. "EEP!, Eep, eep?" Eagle picked up the dragonet as it squirmed and wriggled. " You, are one wriggly pipsqueak." The small dragonet stopped wriggling as if it were offended by Eagles words." EEP!" cried the dragonet." What now?" Eagle said. "You can't possibly be hungry, could you?" At the words of hungry, the dragonet perked up.

 If you were wondering if this was real, I can assure you it's not. I made it really look like it was real, but I promise you, again, that it is not. Just try to enjoy the scene!

Josie hadn't meant for it to happen. She had accidentally hit 'send all' on the messaging app. Soon her driveway was full with cars that had party food and drinks in the boot.

 They all piled out their cars 1 by 1, chatting and blabbering about how cool the party would be. 

Oh dear, when mum and dad come home I'm gonna be in big trouble! Josie didn't want to think about punishments just yet - she had a party to sort out!

Josie had to do something - fast. " EVERYBODY! I KNOW YOU GOT MY MESSAGE BUT I ACCIDENTLY PRESSED 'SEND ALL' SO THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE ARE CORNELIA BOYD, IVY MCMILLAN AND RIO SCOTT!" Josie yelled loudly. 

I could feel my face flush, and that was when I totally lost It.

"EVERYONE APART FROM RIO SCOTT, IVY MCMILLAN AND CORNELIA BOYD CAN LEAVE NOW! GET OUT OF HERE!" Josie yelled, catching two little boys sneaking into the house. 

Ivy, Rio and Cornelia came up to the front porch where I was standing, a look of confusion on their faces soon made Josie burst out laughing.

" Your faces!" Josie giggled pointing and clutching her side. She grabbed her friends and went inside to start the "actual" party just the four of them.

Lock Down In NZ

 It's Lock Down, and were at home in our safe bubble. Not the bubble you blow and pop, but a family bubble. Bubbles help NZ keep safe during COVID 19, and other Viruses. But I have GOOD news for you!

Since it's Lock Down, Jacinda Adern has put all the schools in NZ, into online learning, meaning that we still go to school, but online. You can't go see your friends, only phone them.

It's really boring for me to stay home all day, with me longing to see my friends again. But lucky enough another superhero apart from Jacinda, has saved the day. 

School. 

School has been kindly lending chromebooks to us, so that we can work online and talk to our friends. It has been great now that we have chromebooks, otherwise this awesome blog wouldn't have been written or read or even PUBLISHED! 

Hmmm. That is great! Now, time for the bad news.

Tomorrow is my birthday, and I'm afraid that I have to spend it in ongoing Lock Down. Hey, I don't feel that down about it! OK maybe I feel a little bit down about it. But, I get to get my ears pierced, I can't wait!

I'm even making my own chapter book and my mum is happy to be my editor, not that I need one! I totally need one!  Hope that you are having fun in your bubble just as I am!

Bye, Josie 

In The Deep Dark Woods

 

In the deep, dark, woods lay a pebble. Not just an ordinary pebble, in fact, it wasn't even a pebble! It was a charmed crystal, trapped in a thick layer rock. The Heir towered over the gem, muttering a great deal of curses laughing as she did so. The Heir stumbled backwards from the large silver cauldron which held the enchanted stone. A massive shoot of vapour evaporated from the cauldron. The evil Descendant stepped nervously toward the bubbling cauldron. It was supposed to make mist appear as it had, but, it wasn't supposed to be blue!, It was supposed to be a fiery colour red.

The reason why the Heir was making stones, was because she was incharge for the elements, In fact, she was an element herself! She was the element of wind, thunder and darkness. the other elements were: Earth, Water, Fire, Ice, Force, Time, Shadow, Light, Moon and Sun. These elements had special powers, and the Heir wanted them all -  just for herself. 

After making a vicious plan to steal all the elements, she set of to actually do it. The heir was in a duel with the other elements since they had refused to give their powers to the evil heir because of her greediness for power. The heir was enraged and claimed war over the elements. 

So the heir and the other elements begun a duel, the elements' fighting for their lives, and the heir fighting for power. Although the elements were out numbering the heir,  the heir was more powerful, having two elements in one. The heir had started to snatch the stones around the elements neck, snapping the chain that held the stone, and seizing the runaway elements by the collars of their shirts, and asking them savage questions where they hid the tablet with the answers to all her questions. 

Once the heir had no answer, she threw the elements into a wall, making their heads go all fuzzy, she rummaged through all their pockets hoping to find a map or something useful, instead she found the rest of the stones. The elements had no chance against the evil heir - the elements were defeated, wounded by the heirs magic, as you know the heir two elements - now, she had them all.
