The Cell Phone Drama

A mysterious person turned up at my front door. I asked “What is your name?” She said it was “Kylie Anderson.”

She asked what my name was and I said it was “Dayna, Dayna Mathews.”

Kylie said“Can I play with you?" But Dayna was going to the movies.

Dayna said “Im going to the movies”.

“Can I come with you?” moped Kylie silently.

“Sure” said Dayna. “We are watching Life Is A Green Life”.

Off they went to the movies. “Oh I just need to get my cell phone" said Dayna, so she went back to her house to get her cell phone. Dayna came back outside with a smile on her face. “lets go” chirped Dayna.

Later at the movies Daynas cell phone went off. “Oh no” said Dayna and the usher sent them out.

Kylie and Dayna decided to go to the mall then go home .They had peered at all the garments they decided to go back to the movies again.

Dayna said “I'll remember to turn my cell phone off this time”.

“That’s a great idea” gloomed Kylie.

“We will watch 'Under The Sky'”. In two hours and forty four minutes they went home and on the way Dayna bought some sweets. When they got home Kylie said “I had a great time today. Maybe we could spend some more time together.”

“Yes” bellowed Dayna.

“What about on Saturday” said Kylie.

“Yes” said Dayna.

On Saturday morning Dayna got up and was really exited about Kylie coming over. An hour later Kylie phoned up Dayna and said she would ask her mum if it was OK if she went to her house instead.

“Mum” said Dayna “can I go to Kylies house instead of her coming over here.

“Yes you can" said Mum.

“Yes I can! I'll be over in about 15 minutes OK" Dayna said excitedly to Kylie.

“ok" said kylie. "Good bye."

On a dark stormy night Constable Dayna Peek was driving her car around the city to see what people were doing. Suddenly she saw a boy with a bag on his back heading to the bank. Then the boy came out of the bank with heaps and heaps of money in the his bag and Dayna saw him and got out of her car and chased him and jumped on him and said “WHATS YOUR NAME?”“My name is Tom don’t hurt me”. Then she got of him and called his mum and she said to his mum “your child has just robbed the bank.”“Are you sure?” said his mum.“Yes I’m sure” she said sadly. Then he went home and as soon as his mum saw him she said to “Tom, you’re grounded!”“Why mum?”“Because you robbed the bank” cried mum “GO TO YOUR ROOM NOW!”“O man” said Tom. The next day, he tried that again, but this time Dayna Peek was not looking, and Tom got away with all the money and went to Max and said “look – I got all this money.”“That is a lot of money” said Max. Then Tom got in the car and drove away, but when they were on the driveway, Dayna (the cop) saw Max and Tom with a bag in his hands, and she got out of the car and chased them, but they managed to get in the house and lock the door. However, Dayna broke the window to get in, and she said “you guys have robbed the bank again! You are going to JAIL for robbing the bank TWICE!”“Why? Said Tom “does Max have to go to jail as well?”“No” replied Dayna.Then Max said “Bye Tom, I will see you in SIX YEARS!”Six years later….Max said “Hi Tom. Was it cool there in jail?”“No – I got punched in the face by another robber!” replied Tom.“I will take you to the doctor” said Max.“Nooooooo – I will be fine” replied Tom.“OK, I will leave you here while I go to the doctor for an appointment”.“NO I DO NOT WANT TO GO TO THE DOCTOR” shouted Tom.“Why?” asked Max.“I don’t want to go to the doctor because last time I went to the doctor the nurse did a mistake and STABBED ME IN THE EYE!!!” replied Tom “but luckily the vitrious humour didn’t come out!”And Max rang the doctor again and said to the doctor “come to our house while he is not looking” said the Doctor.Tom screamed “why did you call the doctors again?”“Because you have a sore eye” explained Max. Then the doctor came, and he brought oxygen masks, just in case Tom ran out of oxygen while the doctor was doing surgery on his cheek. Three minutes later, the surgery was finished, and Tom said “that wasn’t too bad. I think I will go to the doctor next time I need surgery.”

The Smart Pilot

On a happy Friday afternoon Freddy and Eddie were at a movie theatre watching a movie called The Smart Pilot. The movie was about a pirate and his beloved gold tooth trying to find some treasure. He had a million dollar map, and he sailed upon an enormous boat.

Suddenly (in the movie), an Air New Zealand plane came vertically down and hit the water. The pirate got excited and said “Wonder what that scallywag has on board?” The pirate got his togs on and Scooby dived into the deep blue water. A minute later his head popped up out of the sea and he got back on his boat. His arms were full of gold pieces and his face had a metre long smile on it. While the pirate was staring away at his gold, the pilot surfaced and shouted at the pirate “Could you please let me on board.” But the silly pirate ignored him, and sailed away.

The cunning pilot was ready for the pirate to sail away, so while the pirate was at the wheel the pilot jumped on board. Strongly the pilot took off his belt and whacked the pirate unconscious. He then sent the silly pirate overboard into the unforgiving sea. The pilot was a qualified sailor, so he quickly found land and lived happily ever after. But as for the pirate… |
