Today is ice cream day. I abso-
lutely hate their ice cream. It’s
made of koala bear throw-up,
and for the cherry, the cherry is
actually the liver of a person.
Never eat the ice cream sundaes
at Derby.
Friday we are going to have fun. We are
going to have so much fun and you are go-
ing to be there too. So you are going to
have so much fun. Have fun and a good
weekend.

Fantasy Noontime Show
At yesterday’s noon time show, Shawn
and Kiri were dressed as dragons. The
first act, Charlotte Leasing, with her
breath, lit a table on fire! When Shawn
and Kiri walked back on stage, they were
singing: Real dragon’s la, la, la! Real
dragon’s la, la, la! Then the people in the
mini musical performed the Little Sea
Witch. That is a different version of the
little mermaid. Ariel is dressed as Ursu-
la, and Ursula is dressed as Ariel. Plus,
at the end, Ariel marries an eel. Next,
was a dance with Matthew Sicko and
Mille Mon. Matthew stood in the front.
All he got to do is stand. Mille pushed
Matthew off the stage! That is why Tha-
lia doesn’t like when people sit in the
front row. The last act was someone ly-
ing on the stage while someone stands
on them while someone else stands on
their head. The show was over. Thalia
came out to say the festivals. Stuff like:
going on an airplane to the moon. I
loved yesterday’s noon time show!

Age: 8 Did you hear? NO?!!?!? How could you
not hear about this brand new invention
made by the FABU, us! The magical, fab-
ulous, magnificent, amazing, papel! This
new and improved papel is a flat, color-
less piece of matter that has made life so
much more the same! You can draw any-
thing imaginable on this glorious sheet
of nothing! You can use it in prison, on
vacation, or even in the back of your
grandpappy’s new car! It’s 100% spill
attractive, meaning every spill of juice,
water, or guavas all go directly to the
papel, where it is immediately absorbed
for later use. Are you thirsty? Drink the
excess prune juice you spilled on your
papel an hour and 54 minutes ago!
Thirst relieved! Enjoy your new papel!

On Wednesday, at festival period, I was
playing on the playground. Just then I
spotted a patch of tiny white and blue
woodchips. I jumped of the swing and
ran over to the strange spot. Suddenly, a
narwhal jumped out! I also realized that
the blue woodchips were actually a tiny,
tiny, ocean! Then I ran away, scream-
ing, to the sprinkler. Inside the water
of the sprinkler, lay a solid rainbow! I
look up, as my eyes followed the col-
ors. On the top of the rainbow, I saw a
pink and white animal. It looked like a
horse. It’s body was white and it had a
pink tail and mane. Oh no! Back came
the narwhal! Plus, I saw a horn on the
horse’s head! A unicorn! Then, the
most strange thing happened! The
narwhal and the unicorn started talk-
ing! I was screaming so I didn’t hear
every word they said. But I know they
said something like: “Best friends for-
ever” or “West, we will head there.”
Oh well, I guess I’ll never know…

Pokemon Are Real By Olivia Pace
Age: 9
The flying black bear has been seen again.
It seems to only appear during the time of
Derby Summer Arts. When it was seen, it
was breathing underwater. With it there
were two unicorn dogs, a swan, a dol-
phin, a flying chipmunk, and a dog that
all can breathe underwater.
The dog’s name is Bobby. Bobby is the
adopted brother of Lusa, the flying black
bear, and Violet, the flying chipmunk.
Rose the swan is his adopted mother. Vi-
olet is the adopted sister to Lusa and
Bobby. Rose’s close adopted child is Vio-
let. Lusa is the family meat collector.
Jessie the dolphin, Dig and Woof the uni-
corn dogs are cousins to Lusa, Vio-
let ,and Bobby. The cousins live with
Rose, Bobby, Lusa, and Violet. Catch up
on the next update on flying black bears!
Flying Black Bears
Did you know that Pokémon are real? I
didn’t either. But, when Professor Larch
discovered the first electric mouse by
running tests, she found that electricity
was flowing through a piece of metal
making a spark that she was using for the
experiment. But then suddenly at the
back of the electric mouse’s tail a ball of
electricity was forming. Then after form-
ing, the electric ball was released. Profes-
sor Larch made it out of the burning lab,
but the electric mouse was nowhere to be
seen. After the fire was out, firefighters
searched for the mouse. The firefighters
found the mouse quickly. Alive and run-
ning around the lab happily. Then Profes-
sor Larch concluded her hypothesis.
“Pokémon are real”.

The Mystery of
Shawn and Kiri
Bunnies
Every day Kiri stops in all of Shawn’s classes.
Shawn always does something romantic with
her.
He also sometimes blows her a kiss.
He and Kiri also have been spotted having a
lunch only the two of them.
Also Kiri and Shawn have been seen on stage
saying “I love you.”
Also we see them doing romantic things all
the time.
We also see them hugging and holding hands
and putting arms around each other.
Have you seen any of these things?
What do you think is going on?

No one else can play with you, take care of
you or love you like your Nana. When we
had a Cape house, we stopped at My Nana
and Grampie’s house. Their house is on
one of The Cape’s best beaches. Whenever
I visit I will always remember to bring
back Cape Cod shells. Whenever I found
conch shells on the beach I called them
Nana Shells because they will always help
me remember the memories from each
time we visited. Nana even keeps some of
the cool shells for decorations in her sea
themed home! Every Christmas, after we
open presents at my house, we drive down
the Cape to celebrate Christmas with my
Mom’s side of the family. There, we eat
dinner, do a special craft, have dessert,
open presents and play Grab. That night,
the whole family sleeps over. In the morn-
ing, we have a well-prepared morning,
breakfast feast in honor of Christmas being
over and us being together as a family.
Sometimes over the summer, I sleep over.
I love sleeping over because I get alone
time with Nana and Grampie. Sometimes
we go out to dinner and others Nana cooks
me one of her famous, delicious recipes.
You can’t even believe how much fun I
have when I sleep over. Guess What? To-
day is my Nana’s Birthday! We are going to
Jakes Restaurant to celebrate. Most of my
family can attend! And it’s a SURPRISE!!

“Yesterday, in late morning around 11
o’clock, someone, who happened to not be
a human, was in the middle of the sky ly-
ing there. There was nothing under them.
This mysterious thing was lying there kind
of like it was dead, but it wasn’t. We decid-
ed to let it be and if it started to bother us
we would deal with it,” one of the news
men reported.
“But what if this thing just wanted to play
but someone thought it was trying to hurt
them?” a news woman asked.
“Then we will have to wait and see what’s
going to happen,” the news man replied.
“Join us next time for Fantasy Friday
news.”
Located behind a dumpster in Western
Chicago, doctors have found a germ that
takes over and occupies the right leg.
While this germ is inside your right leg it
will eat up all of your ligaments and bones
causing you many near death experiences
and deep terrorizing hallucinations of
multiple turtles swimming through the
mouth of a megalodon and coming out
the tail. People are devastated as they try
to find many prosthetic right legs for
these 2 and a half people that have been
infected with this germ. Please call and
donate to 1-800-this-is-fake.

Today’s word is…
+-+--- +++--+ +++++
This is Morse Code and it is extremely
hard.
Once upon a time, twenty minutes ago,
the kids were making art projects for the
Juniors…when the evil mastermind
Brendon came into the room and
planned his popsicle business. “I’m go-
ing to see what happens when you kill
two campers named Reid and Jona-
than,” he said maniacally. He calls a
staff meeting and announces, “We need
to get rid of all of the campers…
especially Jonathan and Reid.” DUH
DAH DUN.
Then Reid and Jonathan heard the conver-
sation and told all of the other campers to
make a rebellion. Ten seconds later,
“Brendon,” Reid and Jonathan said,
“We’ve come to take you and the other
staff down.” All of the other campers sur-
rounded him with popsicle sticks. Then
Dan comes in and says, “Do you want to
make a music video?” Brendon replies,
“Shut up, Dan!” and Dan begins to dance
out of the battle and Lee videotapes him.
Then Brendon says, “Now that that’s over,
let’s fight!” BOOM. BANG. BOOM. Kids
win because the counselors didn’t have
unicorns!
