TAILS, TALES, AND MORE!

Hi, Bella here! Here's another story coming at you- but this time I'm gonna finish it! This new story is called TAIL. Hope you like it!

  Misty Ricardo was THE most paranoid person in her entire fifth grade class. Every ripped textbook page was committed by aliens. Each toilet plugged was a man-eating sewer blob created by the government, coming to destroy the school. She was always putting her fellow classmates in a panic.

One day, Misty hit the last straw. As everyone was filing out of the building, she heard the alarm die out and screamed, " Apocalypse! It's the Apocalypse! We are going to die! They've taken our electricity!" The students started to panic and run out of the school, shouting wildly.

Mr. Harrison, the principal, called Mr. Ricardo and told him what had happened. Mr. Ricardo came down as quick as he could, knowing that Misty had hit a huge nerve and he didn't want to hit one, too. "Mr. Ricardo, the staff and school board both agree that Misty is out of control. You need to fix her. You have until the end of winter break. If she is not better when she returns, she will be expelled and forbidden to set foot in Stepcrook Elementary School ever again!" Mr. Harrison shouted.   

As, Misty and Mr. Ricardo drove home, Misty put on her tinfoil bray and slouched in her seat. "Sweetie, please. You need to stop this. People can get hurt because of your conspiracies," Mr. Ricardo said. "I'm thinking about sending you to Mrs. Pint's Academy for the Paranoid. It will help you rethink your silly conspiracies and live a better life. It starts tomorrow." Mist rolled over in her seat. "Academy it is, then," he muttered.

Chidren of the North Star

 I can tell that by the time you looked at the title of this post you were interested. How do I know this? Well, its your choice. I'm either psychic or obviously talented with titles. What do you choose?

This is the FIRST post ever that I am going to show you my amazingly awesome writing skills, with proper grammar, of course.  And here is one of my drafts to demonstrate.

Eleanor looked up at the clear blue sky and carefully concealed her tears under the veil of black covering her face. She had failed. Of all the things that she had done, this was the worst. She could hear a part of herself saying optimistically, It's not your fault you lost the Prince and Princess of the Stars to a witch. She was just too powerful. Another part of Eleanor's mind argued saying, All she did was shoot you with a weak flame thrower spell and YOU RAN AWAY, leaving Prince Alexander and Princess Elizabeth to FIGHT FOR THEMSELVES! What kind of sorceress are you?!?!  Eleanor quietly told herself to shut up and sat up.

 Ever since she had ran away from the Prince and Princess, she hid in a place called Earth. It was rather polluted and everyone talked in a weird, jumbled language, but she felt that compared to what she did, this was the perfect place for her.

As Eleanor started to stand up, men with large what seemed to be weapons aimed directly at her and yelled their strange language. "What?" she said.

A man with a huge mustache and an army outfit on looked at her like she was a bug that was too pathetic to squash. "Mam, this is military territory. I need to ask you to leave immediately," he barked. Eleanor wiped the spit from her hair and tried to interpret what they meant. By the way the man looked, it seemed that he was threatening her. "Make me," she answered lowly.

Surprised at her response, the man lowered his gun, then hightened it again. The men behind him got ready to shoot. "Fine," he said. "Have it your way." The man turned towards the other people and grinned. "Get ready, set, fire!"

Purplicious Perfection

    This recipe is just totally Purplicious Perfection! And by Purplicious Perfection I mean, well... whatever it means.
Today you are going to be blown away with this awesome-scrumptiously-delicious-thingy-ma-bobber, also known as the MONSTER BLOOD MUFFINS! Don't worry, there not made with green gooey stuff. Well, unless you want them to!

                                      INGREDIENTS
                    Bake = 400 degrees
                    Time = 18 minutes
                     Makes = 1 batch
                                   
                                 1 3/4  cup of flour
                                 1/2  cup of sugar
                                 2  teaspoons of baking powder
                                 1/4  teaspoons of salt
                                 1 beaten egg
                                 3/4  cup of milk
                                 1/4  cup of cooking oil (preferably Canola Oil)
                                 1/4  cup of lemon juice
                                 7 drops of blue food coloring
                                 4 or 5 drops of green food coloring
                                 6 blueberries, cut in half
                  
                                      INSTRUCTIONS
                  Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray one muffin pan with pan spray and set aside. First, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Take the beaten egg and add to the mixture. DO NOT MIX. Then, add the other liquid ingredients. DO NOT ADD BLUEBERRIES. THEY ARE A TOPPING FOR THE MUFFINS. Put the muffin mixture into the muffin pan and put in oven for 400 degrees, once it has beeped and said that it was fully heated.
                  Take muffins out of oven and set them on a platform to cool. Then, cut each of the blueberries in half and put them in a bowl. If you would like, I will show you how to make this delicious lemon sauce to drizzle on top. You're going to need it to make the blueberries stick! First, you don't need a stove, so go pack it away in some corner of your mind so that you don't worry about it. Second, grab 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 a cup of lemon juice. Mix. Easiest thing ever, right?
                   Drizzle lemon sauce all (I repeat ALL) over the muffins and grab you son, daughter, brother, or sister and tell them an alien is attacking your muffins and the only way to save them is if you eat them all, and if that doesn't work, tell them that you need their help to stick the TWO blueberry eyeballs on EACH muffin.
                  Finally, sit back relax, and let everyone in your family praise what a good chef you are!
