The Adventures of Jonathon & Irene

Chapter 1

Once upon a time on planet Buc Ve, there was a two-headed alien named Jonathon and Irene. They were picking flowers in a special garden on their home planet. Buc Ve was very colourful, and had special plants that everyone in the galaxy wanted. These plants were not only beautiful, but also retained magical powers. Jonathon and Irene started to walk back home and ran into a three-headed alien from planet Bong. At first, Jonathon and Irene were scared because the Bonganians were known to want the special flowers growing on planet Buc Ve. Jonathon and Irene tried to introduce themselves to this new alien, even though they were a bit nervous. The Bonganian continued to be mean to them. Irene and Jonathon realized that they had to protect their family from these aliens. It was their job to protect their family above all else. Irene and Jonathon decided that they had to leave the planet to discover new technology to protect their family…

This is chapter 1 of a 4 chapter story – each student in the class wrote the remaining 3 chapters.

Victoria’s Adventure

Victoria was playing in the most important game of her soccer career in Germany! She was the second most famous soccer player in Germany because she had four arms and hands, one leg with a wheel for a foot, five mouths, and a long purple tongue. Some of her teammates didn’t want to be her friend because she looked a little bit different. This was because Victoria was a green-skinned alien from Mars. She was allergic to water and could only drink lava, so she turned glasses of water into lava, which always made her teammates a little nervous.

Victoria wanted to have an unlimited supply of lava, and she had heard of a secret cave that contained magical lava that would always replace itself even after she finished it.

During the break of the soccer game, Victoria realized that she was fast enough to fly to the island and return in time to finish the game. She made herself invisible so no one would notice she was gone, and took off flying toward the island. She landed on a sandy beach and saw a big shark lying on the sand.

The shark had a deal for her. If she helped him get back in the water, the shark would grant her three wishes! She agreed, and began to help him.

Victoria searched the beach and found some rope. She flew back to the shark and tied the rope around his tail and then took flight again and began to pull him into the ocean. She used her powers to freeze the shark and the water so that she wouldn’t get wet. Once the shark was in the right position, she unfroze the shark and the water.

The shark was so happy to be back in the water. He was now ready to grant her wishes.

“What are your three wishes?” The shark asked her.

Victoria thought to herself, “What do I want most?”

She knew she wanted to win that soccer game so she wished for a copy of herself that she could send to finish playing the game while she continued to explore the island. He granted her wish.

“I wish for you to give me the power to transform into a human!” she said to the shark. The shark took only a moment to give her this new power. As her alien self she was still allergic to water, but if she transformed into a human water would no longer harm her.

“My last wish is for lava to make my powers even stronger!” The shark swished his tail, and granted her third wish.

“Thank you, Shark!”

Having her three wishes granted, Victoria flew off to find the cave of magic lava. When she got there, she saw a sleeping dragon protecting the lava. He was lying right in front of the lava – there was no way to get to it!

Victoria used her shrinking powers to make the dragon as small as a rabbit. Then she made herself invisible and flew over the now tiny dragon and grabbed the cauldron of lava.

She had done it! Victoria had got the magic lava!

She flew off, rushing to make the soccer game, but as she was crossing the ocean, the cauldron slipped from her fingers and fell into the ocean, where it sunk into its watery depths…

Valkry and the Haunted House of Secrets

Once upon a time, there was a zombie named Valkry. A scientist gave him a costume so he could disguise himself as a little boy so that no one would get scared of him and kill him. He also had trouble making friends since he was a zombie, which was another reason why he disguised himself as a boy. He wore the costume to turn into a normal boy, but on Halloween night, he was able to go out without a disguise.

Valkry lived in an invisible house in a graveyard in Tombstown, Cansada. Tombstown had a big problem – it was always nighttime except on January 1st. It had been night time for 1,000 years!

There was a vampire that lived in a haunted house in Tombstown. In the house there was also a baby. They had a secret cellar under the house that controlled the Earth’s rotation so that it was always night time! The vampire was also making a potion to make all the people in the world evil.

In the cellar, there was a magical purple witch’s hat with buttons that could fly you up to 4,000 years into the past.

Valkry was walking through the werewolf trees when he saw two paths. One led to the haunted house and one led to a magical safe castle.

Valkry went to the haunted house because he wanted to get the special hat so that he could go back in time to prevent Tombstown from being plunged into eternal nighttime. When he went into the house, he found another zombie named Valentina, who he could be friends with.

The vampire was guarding the time-travelling hat so that Valkry could not reverse his night time curse. Valkry knew the vampire well, because they used to be best friends, before the vampire turned evil.

Valkry opened the door to the cellar and saw a machine that controlled the earth’s rotation! Then he heard a creepy voice behind him say, “Stop right there!”

Then…

The Four Heroes in Haunted City

Once there was a girl named Sally, who lived in Haunted City. She used to live with her parents until they both had heart attacks and died while at the train station. They were at the train station because a big red tree had fallen and crushed their family home.

Sally was a normal girl, but a few days after her parents died, something turned her into a werecat.

She was now Sally the Night Cat! She had butterfly wings to fly with and could turn into a real cat, but didn’t realize she had these powers.

There were monsters and witches in Haunted City, and Sally wanted to save the day. But there was a problem, she was too scared to face them! She wanted to learn about them at Monster School, but she was made fun of for wanting to go.

There was also a boy named Bloodly Boy who had also lost his parents in a tragic accident at the train station. He wanted to fight monsters too, but he was also scared of them!

Bloodly Boy and Sally the Night Cat went outside to take a walk by the pond, where the frogs and jellyfish lived, to make themselves feel better.

They ran into a tiger named Anthony, who lived in the jungle. He had been forced into the city from his home. Anthony was with a good vampire, named Mary, who had lost her fang.

The four of them teamed up and went to the library to look for books on how to defeat monsters. In the library, they encountered a book monster that could disguise itself as a book. There was also a special book that could give them special powers that could turn them into dragons.

The next book they found told Sally all about her Night Cat powers and how to use them. She was starting to feel less afraid of monsters, but the book monster suddenly appeared and stole the book…
