Scene 1: In the living room 
ReaganThis is my writing style, no copying my style or idea. My only disclaimer is that I don’t own any of my classmates, I just like using them as puppets in my stories.  
Gabi walks into the room.  
Reagan- *high fives Gabi*  
GabiWhy are you writing this?  
Reagan- I don’t know… probably to write down random scenarios that most likely won’t ever happen.   
Danica walks into the room with box of doughnuts  
Danica- Oh hey Reag- why is Gabi here?  
Reagan- I don’t know I just needed more people for my never ending story.  
Danica- Let’s hear it!  ------  
 Scene 2: In a land far, far away (New York Countryside) there was a school. It wasn’t just any school, it was a school for annoying weirdos like Danica, Reagan, and Gabi.

Teacher (Mr. Clay) – Hello everyone! Welcome to your 8th grade year! Today we will be learning about-  
Reagan- WHALES! WE ARE LEARNING ABOUT WHALES TODAY CLASS!   
Danica- Reagan shut up!  
Mr. ClayWell actually we will be learning about-  
Reagan- *jumps out of seat and goes to front of room* ORCAS! COMMONLY KNOWN AS KILLER WHALES! KILLER WHALES, THE MOST DRAMATIC AND LARGEST OF THE DOLPHINS, FEATURE IN LEGENDS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD-

 Scene 3: Math Class; Second Period:  
Miss Solano- Hello class! Today we will be taking a pop quiz on what you haven’t learned this year and everything that you don’t remember from elementary school! GABI IS THAT A LLAMA?  
Gabi- Yes, this is a llama. IT’S SPARKLES TO YOU.  
Miss SolanoWell then, please lead Sparkles outside at the stables.  
Gabi- Fine… WHAT IF HE GETS HUNGRY?  
Miss Solano- He won’t get hungry. There is horse fo-  
Gabi- BUT SPARKLES EATS FIVE APPLES AND 2 CUPS OF ORGANIC LLAMA FOOD FOR LUNCH!  
Danica- Gabi just bring Sparkles outside.  
Miss Solano- I can be mean sometimes, but let’s be on my good side okay?  
The whole class says yes. 
Miss Solano- Okay on with the lesson. If you have 0.5 apples-  
Emma- You would have 2.3 apples, then you would subtract 1, so your final answer would be 1.3 apples.  
Miss Solano- I didn’t even finish my question!   
Emma- Did I get it right?  
Miss Solano- Yes, but how?  
Emma- I am the oh so powerful wizard you see.  
Miss Solano- Okay. Class, let’s do some flash cards!  
Emma- 11, 23, 45, 870, 1, 45, 65, 43, 28.  
Miss Solano- HOW?

Miss Solano- Uh… Class Dismissed?

Scene 4: Art Class; 3rd period  
Miss Watson- Welcome to art class! This year we will be learning how to draw dragons!  
Reagan- All dragons?  
Miss Watson- Yes. All dragons.  
Danica- Can we see an example?  
Miss Watson makes a folded piece of paper.  
Gabi- That’s just a piece of paper!  
Miss Watson- Or is it?  
The paper opens up and a huge paper dragon comes out and glides out the window.  
Danica- WE HAVE TO MAKE THAT?  
Nick  *runs in the door, panting.*  
Nick- Sorry I am late! There was this dragon I had to battle and then a massive flying whale-  
Reagan- THERE WAS A WHALE ON CAMPUS AND NO ONE TOLD ME?  
Nick- So anyway, I had to slay the whale-  
Reagan- *throws a paintbrush at Nick’s head, but it misses and hits the wall beside him* YOU DID WHAT?  
Nick- It was just an orca.  
Reagan- EVEN WORSE!  
Miss Watson- As amusing as you two fighting is, you have wasted all my TEACHING TIME! Nick, go to the office, Reagan have a dragon shaped cookie for being the good kid.  
Nick- But-  
Miss Watson- *puts cookie in Nick’s mouth to make him quiet* Hush child. Office.  
------  
 Scene 5: In the living room:  
Danica- Poor nick.   
Gabi- Why are you making bad things happen to him?  
Reagan- Like I said in the beginning, this is my story and my classmates are my puppets.

Reagan- Oh whale (sea what I did there?)  
------

------  
Scene 7: In the living room:  
Danica- There was meatloaf at Canal View? 
Gabi- I'm not sure anymore.  
Reagan- I don’t even know, but let’s not think about it. I want the good food to stay in my stomach.  
------  
Gabi- I wonder what Sparkles is doing.  
Reagan- Does your whole life revolve around that llama?  
Gabi- Yes, yes it does.  
Reagan- EW! Who is that and what is he eating? Cause both are UG-LY.  
Jimmy- Excuse me?  
Reagan- EW HIS FACE IS EVEN MORE HIDIOUS!  
Jimmy- What?  
Reagan- I would throw this so called meatloaf at you but even that doesn’t deserve the pain of touching you.  
Jimmy- What is it?  The snot coming out of my nose? Want to see it up close? *puts finger in nose then shoves it in Reagan’s face*  
Reagan runs off screaming.  
Danica- I would say shoo fly, but you aren’t the fly. Move away and take the flies with you!  
------  
Scene 8: Social Studies; 5th period:  
Emma- This is a time to be social! But not to weirdly social, girls stay away from boys and boys stay away from girls! Kapeesh?  
No one says Kaposh.  
Reagan- Are you our teacher?  
Emma- No, I casted a spell to make the principal make me head of student body! Also I made him give me all the jobs of Student Body too!  
Mya and her squad; Lizz, Maddie, Jackie, and Annabella all run to the back table to gossip.

Everyone takes out their phones.  
MaddieLizz, why are you following Jimmy? He posts pictures of his snot!  
Jackie- Harry Styles just replied to Louis Tomlinson’s tweet! OMG Larry is so real! *gushes about them*  
Mya- Hey guys want to play some soccer?  
Everyone stops talking and stares at Mya as if she were an alien.  
Lizz- No! I can’t bear to sweat in my new dress!  
Annabella- Gosh my sister is WAY smarter than you!   
Mya- Isn’t she the oh so powerful wizard?  
Emma appears in her black cloak  
Emma- Who dares to summon me?  
Mya- Uh I didn’t summon you.  
Emma- Oh  
Emma disappears in a cloud of smoke.  
------  Reagan- I guess we are a 3 person squad.  
Gabi- Only if that Emma girl would join…  
Emma appears.  
Emma- Of course I would love to join your squad!  
Danica- How did you know we were talking about you?  
Emma- The oh so powerful wizard knows ALL.  
The bell rings and Emma disappears in a ball of fire.  
Gabi- I like her already  
------  
Scene 9: Study Hall; 7th Period:  
Emma, Gabi, Danica and Reagan find themselves texting each other on the group chat.  
  Emma- Where are you guys? I am in the library.  
Danica- I’m at the lunch room.  
Reagan- I’m in the rec room sorting the papers with Mrs. Solano.  
GabiGuys what dorm are you in? I know Reagan, Danica and I are in the same dorm.  
EmmaI’m with a girl named Anna and my sis Annabella.  
ReaganWe have an assignment to do- it’s due in 2 weeks.  
DanicaWhat is it?  
Reagan- It’s for Science. We have to take an animal and make a poster about it with facts. I’m doing an orca, what animal are you guys doing?  
Danica- I’m going to do a puppy!  
GabiCan we do pairs?  
Reagan- Yes of course we can! I think we are allowed to do groups of 4?  
GabiI gtg. See you guys tonight!  
Emma- OK  
------  
The girls all pile into their dorm and put Emma on a snapchat call using Reagan’s phone.  
Emma- So let’s assign jobs. Reagan, you draw and design, Danica and Gabi, you guys can get research. I’ll make sure everything goes smoothly and get poster board and some supplies. Who wants to go to get them with me?  
------  
Back in the living room:  
Danica- So a girl’s night out?  
Reagan- Yep!  
Gabi- That sounds fun!  
Reagan- Let’s go to um… Walmart!  
------  
The girls all pile into Reagan’s silver van and drive to the nearest Walmart.  
They all gasp when they see Mya’s squad’s private helicopter land on the roof.  
Gabi- When Maddie bragged about how rich they were, I didn’t think they meant that RICH!  
Emma- What is going on, Annabella told me she was super sick… Opps, I might have put a healing spell on her.  
Reagan- Question?  
Emma- Yes?  
Reagan- How much trouble does she cause?  
Emma- A lot.  
They all run into Walmart like they’re in a war.  
Gabi- Let’s squirt glitter at them!  
Maddie comes up with her squad behind her.  
Maddie- There’s only room for one cool squad this year!   
Jackie- Yeah, we’re the coolest! Like who likes llamas these days?  
Gabi-ME!   
Reagan’s squad takes off running, and Emma uses her powers to take popsicles from the freezer and throw them at Lizz.  
Emma- TAKE THIS YOU… YOU… PIECES OF RYE BREAD!  
Lizz- Excuse me?  
Emma- YOU HEARD ME! YOU'RE A PIECE OF RYE BREAD! NOW GET LOST! 
---- 
Reagan's situation: 
Reagan is throwing baseballs, basketballs and tennis balls at Maddie. Maddie gets a ball and hits Reagan on the head and knocks her unconscious, but Gabi comes and picks her up before she can throw another ball. All the girls end up in the back of the store with Mya's squad cornering them. 
Maddie- Well, well, well. I told you what happens when you mess with us. 
 Gabi- Well this is what happens when you mess with US! *makes loud llama noise* 
Maddie- What? Is that supposed to scare- 
Maddie is cut ofby a stampede 
A herd of llamas come barging in the store with security at their tails 
They hop on the largest one then Gabi yells 
Gabi- SEE YA SUCKERS! 
They leave Walmart while security looks in awe and Mya and her squad fall like dominos in fright. 
     
  
  



Santa Clause is coming to Town Part 3
By Riley
        After he was assigned to a child (which was him) He had to go to “Kid Care School”. I had only been two hours and all of this happened!!! There was a man a KCS and he blabbed on and on about how to take care and report about your kid. Andrew was still thinking about the Elf situation. Before Andrew knew it he was stepping into a red box with a green bow on top. The tissue paper crinkled as he stepped inside.

          “Alright Kid, you ready?” asked the man. Andrew nodded. “Oh, and don’t forget there is a parachute strapped to you if anything goes wrong.” Andrew looked at his back. He did not notice the Elf helpers put it on him few minutes ago.  The box was closed and all Andrew could see was black. Pitch black. Darkness had fallen in his box. He wondered how long he would stay in there, hopefully not long. He felt himself being lifted off the ground, on to a post and could hear a loud speaker. “Our first Elf is ready in position! 5…
                                                                                 4…
                                                                                    3…
                                                                                         2…
                                                                                             1…”
Up he went!!!
          Andrew could hear his Elf friend call to him. He could not exactly make out what he was saying but he was pretty sure he said “Good Luck!” Andrew was scared. What was happing? Is the kid-self going to be there when he gets to his house? While asking all of these questions he lost track of time and before he knew it he felt a hard PLOP on the ground. Out of nowhere music started playing, (Christmas music to be exact) and Andrew could hear the door open and him being lifted inside.

          The box flew open and Andrew could see his face only bigger! He saw the joy on his face, he never knew how happy he actually was when opening his elf. Andrew remembered immediately picking his elf up and putting him on the mantle of the fireplace and that is exactly what big Andrew did. Andrew sat on the mantle.

          A few hours later the lights went off and big Andrew went to bed so Andrew decided it was time to figure out how to become a boy again so he moved his hand and feet, and finally wobbled over to the edge of the mantle. As he got there he started to hear footsteps. Then a light turned on. He heard the fridge being opened. Then he saw the silhouette of a boy, it was big Andrew!!! Andrew was staring with fear and finally blinked and within a blink of an eye he was falling. Falling, falling and was almost to the ground. When he was caught the hand felt warm and Andrew’s life went totally back. He had been touched. If a human touches an elf that means the elf dies.
          Andrew had woken up to a dark room. Sitting in a bed under the covers there he was. His elf clothes were gone, and he was in his pajamas. He could hear some hustle and bustle down in the kitchen. He got up and went downstairs. His mom greeted him. He asked about his elf and his mom told him they had no elf ever since he had touched him. It just had occurred to Andrew that he had changed his past.











By Katie                                           Doggy Days! Story 1                   Puddles was here! He he!

Hi! My name is Puddles and I’m a doggy! Being a dog is awesome but sometimes things don’t go quite as planned. These are the stories of my life:

August 23, 2014

            My owner, Alice, was running around the house getting ready for 3rd grade. She’s been doing this for days now and she only got me a month ago! Alice ran up to her room and dumped out an enormous bag of clothes. I followed her and when she wasn’t looking I dove into the pile of clothes. “Puddles, nooooooo! “ Alice shrieked, “I just bought those yesterday!” I came out of the pile tangled up in a pair of sparkly leggings. “Oh, Puddles what am I going to do with you? Here, let me help you.” Alice said. She untangled me from the sea of clothes and then I ran out of the room and into the kitchen to see what was cooking! When I walked in, a yummy chicken fragrance greeted me. It smelled sooo good!

            “Hey Puddles, want a snack?” Alice’s mom asked. Well, of course I wanted a snack! I love snacks! “Rrrrruuff!” I barked in approval. She went to the fridge and took out a bag of Doggy Snack Chicken treats! She set one in my bowl. “Eat up!” she said. I ran to the bowl and gobbled up my treat. Man, I love these Chicken Treats! When I was done I ran to my bin of dog toys and started to chew. “Eeek Squeak Scrunch!” went the toys.

It was finally time for dinner. Alice put out a bowl of Crunchy Time Food for me and she and Mom had chicken noodle soup. After dinner, we all went outside to play. Alice threw me a ball and I caught it. It was getting colder outside, and I was glad I had a fur coat. Alice though, not so lucky. Her coat was too small and the fabric had a bunch of teeny tiny holes all over it. “Oh, Alice! I think that tomorrow we are going to the mall to get you a new sweater!” Mom exclaimed. After a few more chilly moments Alice went back inside. I’ve always wondered this about humans: Where are their fur coats when they need one?

            The next morning Alice gobbled down breakfast and then got dressed and we all piled in the car. I was pretty sure we were going to the mall. When we arrived, I saw some big glass walls and a sign that spelled out the word that I was pretty sure was mall. We got a parking space and then Alice and Mom got out of the car and left me in- “wait just one minute here!” They left me in the car alone! How dare they! Huh, well at least they left the AC on high.

            Then I noticed that the window was left down! I pushed down the button that let the seat belt fly off me. I slowly made my way to the front of the car.  When I got to the front seat, I pushed over a big purse and climbed up onto it. Then I pushed down on my hind legs and sprang out the window! “Yip ARF!” I barked. I landed on the pavement and I trotted forward to the doors of the mall. I saw someone in a green car and when the driver looked back at me he said “What in the world?” I took off running to the doors of the mall. When I approached the doors they magically slid open! I ran through the doors.

            I started looking for my first store to encounter. I saw a store that had a bunch of shoes inside. I decided to check it out. I walked inside and walked through rows and rows of shoes! This bored me a little so I decided to leave. Just as I was about to leave, I saw a little shiny black machine with buttons on it! It was on top of a counter and I wanted to see it up close. I looked back at the shoes in the store. I grabbed ten boxes and stacked them up on top of each other.

            I grabbed the top box on the stack and pulled myself up. Then I jumped on the counter. I reached over to the machine and pressed a button on it. I pressed another, and another! Then I pressed one more button. Suddenly I heard another noise. Vvvvvvv! It went. I looked to the far left of me and saw a tiny white printer. I ran over to the printer and pulled out a paper that had sprouted out the top. The paper read: adfti5329. I wasn’t sure what it meant but I took it in my teeth and tucked it into my collar.  I saw a lady in a purple dress and I knew at once she was the store keeper! I dove down from the counter and ran out the door just as the lady came inside the store!

             I ran through the mall until I saw a store with a dog on the front. I assumed it was a pet store, yay! I walked inside the store. The sight I saw looked like pet heaven! So many toys and so many treats! I immediately ran over to a bin of tennis balls. I picked one up and then a big black dog walked by me. “Hey, what are you up to without your owner?” he barked. “Oh, just looking around before reporting back to the car” I replied. “Oh, OK, well be careful!” the big dog barked. The dog walked away to another isle.

            Then I thought for a second, the big dog was right, I had been around the mall quite a bit and- TICK! Hey! Who turned the lights out? I couldn’t see a thing. The store had closed early. BANG! Oh, no, no, no! The door closed! I could vaguely make out the shiny metal of a hook used to reach high things in the corner. Slowly, paw by paw, I padded over to the hook and knocked it over! The hook was on the floor and now all I had to do was push it over to the door! (Not that I knew where the door was.) So I walked around the store for a while, scrapping the hook against the floor until, oof!
            I felt the cold feel of metal and I knew at once it was the door! I looked up and saw a handle. A handle, hmmmm, I didn’t think the main door had a handle, but it was worth a try! I slid over a litter box I saw next to me and propped it up against the door. Then I set the hook on it and pushed until I heard a clicking noise. I jiggled the hook a little and then pulled, and the door flew open and I immediately heard, music? I walked closer and saw there was a glass wall. I was in the store’s display case! Well, I guess I may as well entertain the crowd! I saw bubbles coming from a machine and I decided to pop them with my claws and teeth! I pushed off of my hind legs and jumped! Unfortunately, in the process the door closed, but at least I was having fun! Then I saw a big huge load of my favorite type of chicken treats in a bowl! I ran over to them and started to chew and about 15 minutes later I was fast asleep.

            “Oh, that dog is just soooo cute!” a voice said so loud it woke me up! A huge crowd had gathered in front of the display case!  But I didn’t want to be in the mall anymore, I wanted to be with Alice!
            Meanwhile Alice and Mom were just walking out of the clothe store. “I’ m glad we came to the mall today, it turns out we needed more things than we thought!” Mom said. “Me too!” Alice exclaimed. Suddenly, Mom’s phone buzzed and then started to ring. “Hello?” Mom asked. “Come to the pet store quick! Your dog is here!” the voice said. Mom said thanks and good bye and then stuffed her phone in her purse, took Alice’s hand, and ran.

            All of this cheering was hurting my puppy ears and I wanted to leave now! Then I saw the big black dog pass by from the store. “Help me!” I barked. The big dog knew what I wanted and then he jumped up, bit the top of his leash, and tore it from his owner’s grasp! “NO” the dog’s owner called. The dog ran to the right of the crowd and saw a door that read G-R-O-O-M-E-R on it. He ran towards the door and leapt to the handle and pulled it. The door swung open! Once he was inside he snuck past the groomers and found another door leading out of the shop. The dog did the same thing he had done with the first door and fell inside the store which was pitch black. The dog stepped clumsily through the store knocking over almost everything in his path until he came to the door I had gone through.  The dog saw the hook lying next to the door. He grabbed the hook in his teeth and latched the hook on the door handle and pulled. The door swung open! Before the door could close the dog put his big body between the door and the wall causing the door to be stuck open! “Quick, climb through my legs!” the dog barked. I saw the gap in the dog’s legs and crawled through. I dashed back into the store.

            All of a sudden there was a WHOOSH! The lights flicked on and the women running the store walked in. When she saw the crowd outside and the two dogs standing in the door, she said “Oh my, goodness!”  At that very moment Alice walked in and the man that owned the big dog! “Yay” I barked. “Puddles!” Alice called. “Oh, Sunny!” the man exclaimed. Alice swooped me up and I licked her face. Alice scolded me a bit, then we snuggled. Just as Alice and I were about to leave, the women running the store came up to us. “Your dog was a huge help to my store today! Now everyone is coming in to buy things!” said the women then she handed me a brand new deluxe squeaky bone in hot pink!

            So Alice and Mom took me home and everything was cool. I had learned puppy training lesson number 1 today, if your owner says sit, you need to stay! But now, I have a squeaky bone to chew!

The Failed Adventure of Sid the Steak

By Riley

        One Beautiful summer day Sid the Steak was Chilli’n or should I say Grill’n on his best buddies back. Greg was his name and Grilli’n was his game. Greg and Sid were best Friends. Greg and Sid never wanted to be apart.

          “Hey Greg,” said Sid that day.

          “Yes?” asked Greg.

          “You know how the neighbors grill, Sally, got lost and we couldn’t find her?” asked Sid.

          “Yes?” Greg said again.

“What if… what if I lost you… or you lost me?” said Sid in a worried voice.

“Well, you would look for me and I would look for you,” said Greg with no concern at all. He said it so casually that Sid started to think that he didn’t care. But Sid knew his friend, and he knows that he would always care.

Just then the sliding glass door that led to the deck slid open. Greg’s owner, John, popped his head out.  He came out with a plate.  John took his spatula and slipped Sid off of the Grill, put him on a plate and went back inside.

Back inside Sid knew there just had to be a way to get back to his friend. Sid wiggled and waggled until he got up on his hind bones. Sid wasn’t used to walking so it was kind of hard. Sid finally got to the edge of the table that he was set on. What Sid didn’t realize was that he had to try to get down without his bones breaking. Sid looked around for a better way to get down when he saw a sign! A Minecraft looking sign! Sid hopped over to the sign. The sign said:


Dear steak fellows,
If you are a Steak and want to escape from being eaten or want to go back to your best friend (namely Greg the grill) climb down this ladder

                             You’re loyal Friend,
John

Sid was very happy.

“That was convenient!” Sid said. Sid climbed down the ladder. And hopped over to the sliding glass door. Sid really didn’t think his plan out because, how in the world was he going to get outside and up onto Greg?! All of these questions were swirling in Sid’s head when Sid saw another sign! Sid ran-power walked over to the sign. The sign said:


          Dear steak fellows,
          You made it down the ladder! Now to get through the sliding glass door you need to pull the green string, hanging above your head and then pull to the right.
                                                    You’re loyal friend,
                                                                                                           John 


“That was convenient!” Sid said. Sid pulled the string and then the door slid open. Sid ran over to Greg. “Greg!!!!” Sid shouted.  Before Sid could reach Greg he was scooped up and put back on a plate.  He was eaten by John’s family.  The good news for Greg was he got a new friend…

Santa Claus is Coming to Town
By Riley

The jingling of bells happen in the night when you are supposed to be sleeping. But how are you supposed to sleep when Santa Claus is coming tonight?!! Well this is a story is about a child who fell fast asleep… Maybe…

One night a little boy named Andrew was begging to stay up late but his mother said NO!  It was the night before Christmas. All Andrew’s friends said they guarantee they would stay up all night and look for Santa.  Andrew wanted to look for Santa too!  “You won’t get any presents if you don’t go to bed,” Mom warned! Andrew obeyed his mother and went to bed. Andrew fell asleep to the ticking of his clock.

Andrew awoke when he heard a voice that was not familiar.  He looked around, and he was not in his bedroom.  Andrew’s ears felt weird, he felt them.

“Ow!” yelped Andrew.
“What?” asked a stranger that was in the room.
“Who are you?” asked Andrew in confusion.
“I have no idea what you are talking about,” said the other person.

Andrew observed the other guy. Andrew had lots of questions, Is that a kid? Why does he have pointy ears? The biggest question was “Is he an elf?”  Andrew was afraid so he stayed in bed.

“Whats wrong with you? Come on, get dressed!”asked the stranger.

Now Andrew was really confused. “Dressed for what?” he asked.
Then Andrew realized their was six little people in the room. All of them were staring at him as if he did not belong. Then one started to talk to him as if he knew him since, forever!

“Come on dude! Get dressed!” said another stranger.

Andrew saw a little green and red suit on the end of his bed. He wondered how he could fit into something possibly so small. Andrew got out of bed, picked up the clothes and stood there, the strangers sighed and pointed to the bathroom he changed and then to his surprise they fit… 





Santa clause is coming to town
PART: 2
By Riley
             When Andrew finally got down to “Elf Academy” his fingers and toes were red.  Andrew was 14th in line, behind the dude that told him to get on his feet. Then he saw a red, green and white building in the distance. All of a sudden everyone started to march, and they were lifting their knees really high too! Andrew tried to lift his knees as high as the others but, it just didn’t happen.
          Once Andrew got inside the red, green and white building, he smelled the familiar smell of hot cocoa. All the other little people sat down in little chairs. Andrew was afraid that he wouldn’t fit in the chair.   Surprisingly he fit!  A man in an apron and a little green hat served him some hot cocoa.  Andrew got a whipped-cream mustache.  
Then all the little men got up and started to march again. Andrew got up and started to follow. He got back in single file with everyone. They all marched out these big wooden doors. Andrew followed them all. He trudged through the snow once again, but this time it wasn’t as far of a distance.  
He arrived in a big dome-like room. There were more little people! Then he saw a platform with stairs leading up to it.
“Line Please!” said a man named Mr. Green.  He was slightly taller than Andrew. “I want one at a time Please!”
All the little men went single file.
“Hey Dude” said the little guy in front of him.
“Who? Me?” asked Andrew.
 “Yes, you!  Aren’t you exited to watch a kid for one week!?” said the little guy.
Andrew was confused. He thought that it was Christmas Eve!
Then he heard Mr. Green over the loud speaker. “All you junior elves will go to a child’s home and keep watch over them. We have one week till Christmas, make Santa happy!”
But now that Andrew thought about it he was not a little man, he was an elf!
        Then it was Andrew’s turn to find out the kid he would be assigned to watch over.  He heard Mr. Green say, “Your child is… Andrew Brubaker. He lives on 195 Summerside lane in… let me see, Oh, yes! In New York City.
          Andrew’s mouth dropped open. That is where he lives…
