The Life of Bob Fred the Unicorn book: 3
              The final Adventure

Warning: this is terribly GROSS!



Splat! All of a sudden Bob Fred was sitting on the ground covered with snot, skulls, and acid, a LOT of acid.  Finally, Bob Fred opened his eyes and saw grass and a statue, a statue of the KING.  In front of it were two other statues, one of Connie and one of Freddy.
“Connie, Freddy, no! I’m too late, why did they do this… whyyyy?!?!” cried Bob Fred. 

“Wah ha ha you really are too late. I will take over this kingdom without even starting a war!” came a mysterious voice from the bushes.

“Who said that?” Said Bob Fred. 

“It was I, the great Dr. Cyclops, the creator of all cyclops in the world!” Screeched the humongous cyclops that was coming out from the bushes. “The only way to stop me now is to defeat the giant cyclops guarding the water from the River of Slime. The river is across the Desert of Slime and over Mt. Slime and through the Man-Eating Garden of Slime.”

“Thanks for telling me” shouted Bob Fred!  Off he went.
After two days in the Desert of Slime, Bob Fred was hot and begging for water.  A day later he saw a pond and drank out of it.  Bob Fred felt better and saw the mountains.  Bob Fred went straight to the mountains.  After a few days, Bob Fred was up the mountain. He was very tired and barely could walk.  He had cuts on his knees and his feet were broken… but he went on.  Later going down the mountain, he tripped and fell down a very short cliff. He barely could walk… but he still went on. He finally went to the bottom and got into the garden. There were many huge flowers and Bob Fred was nervous… but he still went on.
For many days Bob Fred was avoiding huge man-eating flowers. '

One of the flowers started walking and Bob Fred ran as fast as he could. Bob Fred accidentally jabbed the flower with his horn and the flower fell onto the other flowers and those flowers bit the flower and there was a big huge mess… but Bob Fred still went on.  Finally, Bob Fred got through to the river. Waiting for him was a colossal (words weren’t large enough to describe him) cyclops. Bob Fred screamed his biggest screamed and ran right at the cyclops. 

Like the flower, Bob Fred jabbed the huge cyclops with his horn and he fell into the River of Slime.  Unlike the flower, the cyclops disappeared. In the cyclops’s place there was a bottle of the Water of Slime and a portal back home.  Bob Fred jumped in the portal and splashed the water on Dr. Cyclops.  Dr. Cyclops disappeared and the statues turned to people.  Bob Fred got appointed king of Myth Land.   Fred gave him a hug and Connie gave him a kiss.

                SMOOCH! 

The Life of Bob Fred the Unicorn Book 1: the Statue of the King


Warning: if you like stories with happy endings you’d be better off reading some other story.
A long time ago there was a unicorn named Bob Fred (or BF for short).  He had a pretty normal life at the time.  
One day his friend Freddy, the phoenix (F for short) gave Bob Fred terrible news.
“Bob Fred, the king has disappeared” Freddy said to Bob Fred. 
“Oh no, where is he” said Bob Fred to Freddy.
“Duh he disappeared, that means to vanish under suspicious circumstances.” 
“Oh” replied Bob Fred. 
Carlene Horsebird came around the corner.  Bob Fred did not like Carlene at all but Carlene thought Bob Fred was her “hubbywubby” and her “horned hairiness.” When Carlene came around the corner Bob Fred immediately hid behind a tree.  Bob Fred didn’t have a very large head which meant that he didn’t have a very big brain either.  Bob Fred finally figured out that his body was bigger than a tree.  Carlene just laughed and said “silly baby trying to escape from me.” 
The next day Bob Fred decided to go with Freddy to the mystical castle and Carlene decided to go with them. When they got there Freddy saw a statue. “That looks exactly like the king” said Bob Fred.
Suddenly, a really, really tall giant came out of nowhere. ‘’ Fe fi fo fum I spy a guy with wings for a thumb” yelled the giant.
“I suggest we run” whispered Freddy. Bob Fred ran and ran as fast as he could but he was no match for the Giant. 
Within two minutes of running the giant picked up Bob Fred and threw him as far as he could. Bob Fred screamed the whole way. Bob Fred landed. He expected to land and be really injured but he was totally fine. He looked down and saw that he landed in a jail cell full of pillows.  In his cell he had a small toilet and… A TV! Bob Fred immediately turned it to the mystical news channel. He wasn’t very happy with what he saw.  He saw that all his friends were taken along with the Statue of the King.

The End 

The Houston Rockets

The Houston Rockets
By: Jack
The Rockets’ franchise joined the National Basketball Association (NBA) as the San Diego Rockets in 1967.  In the early years the Rockets had the great Elvin Hayes. In the 1980s, the Twin Towers, Ralph Sampson and Akeem (he later changed his name to Hakeem) Olajuwon.  After winning their first-ever NBA championship, the Houston Rockets came out in 1994-95 and were even more remarkable than the season before.  Rudy Tomjanovich became the all-time winningest coach of the Houston Rockets.  In the 2014-15 season the Rockets made it to the playoffs.  First, they beat the Los Angeles Clippers.  The series was 3-1, the Clippers had to win one more game. The Rockets came back and won the series 4-3.  Then, they played the Golden State Warriors.  The Rockets lost the series 4-1.  They are still great!
