I had just gotten my green mohawk done at the hairdressers. I was going home when I heard two echoing voices in my head. One of them was saying I looked like a kiwi and the other was laughing. Just then I saw this nice house with a snow globe collection in the window, so I walked inside. I could now see a poster collection and a plate on the floor. The first voice called it something I won’t care to mention. I walked over and picked a book from a nearby bookshelf and sat on a bed, beginning to read. It doesn’t matter if there’s someone in the bed, am I right…? Or am I right? Just then a blue haired girl ran over and told me to leave. The first voice said, ‘Well don’t look so surprised!’ Behind the blue haired girl was a pink haired girl setting the stove on fire. Then the blue haired girl walked away, said she was excited to go to work, broke a television and attempted to fix it. She succeeded without being electrocuted. I was in shock! What kind of a household is this, where you can’t walk in without asking and read a book?! I stomped away, spilling over the dustbin as I went.

Remember Me by Sunni
“If you could have a certain power what would it be?”
“I? I… would have the power to see good in everyone. To bring people together, to make them see the light in each other’s eyes. To make them treasure their own smile as if it were gold, because it is worth that much. To, instead of fight against each other, bring together and fight against misery and pain. There are thousands of people in the world whose struggles are worse than ours, and yet a simple currency could save millions of lives. I would have the power to change that. It is lunacy that a tangible item that is printed every day could save lives!”
“And do you know what your real life superpower is?”
“No, of course not. I don’t have one.”
“Yes, you do. It is exactly what you described to me.”
Bella’s Diary by Sunni
1st day
Hello. I is Bella. I is NOT a baby! I is a toddler! I is a big girl like Sunni! Sunni is my big sister. I… ‘borrowed’… dis notebook from her. I hope she doesn’t find it and upload it to her book blog or anything like dat… I doesn’t know what the day is, so this is 1st day.
2nd day
Today was exciting! I sneaked upstairs and got in Sunni’s room! I… I saw a nice pen. It had a bunny charm and it smelled like cherries. I… I didn’t get stuck! I got… trapped between the cupboard doors. I had to wait two hours for Sunni to get out of bed and fish me out. She tickled me under the chin and I thought if I was cute enough she might let me have da pen, but she carried me downstairs and plonked me back on my bed. Mmf! I is not pouting! I is… grumpy facing.
3rd day
Today I went to get up Sunni, but she was already up. She was opening the front door and she had dis weird bag and she was carrying some toast. I ran up and hugged her legs so she couldn’t go anywhere. She plucked me off and put me on da floor. She told me something like, “I’m walking to school.” What on earth is dis ‘school’?! What is Sunni doing, leaving me for a whole 6 hours?! WHY does she go, anyway?! What does she do there?! I went into the garden, by myself, and played with a ball, by myself, until I got bored and flopped onto the grass. Just then I had an idea. I got up and sat on da swing for a bit, perfecting my plan…
4th day
Yesh! I did it! In the morning while Sunni was still brushing her hair I crept into the hall, opened her bag and got in. She has all dis weird stuff in there; notebooks, cases, folders and even an apple! Eventually I felt Sunni picking up the bag and carry me right out da front door! (-:< The apple may not have been so weird because I ate it and it was quite tasty. After a long time Sunni put down the bag and I heard her leaving. I sneaked out and looked around. I had been plonked on a table next to lots of other tables with chairs. I crawled around until I saw an open window. I crawled out of it and dropped onto da ground. I spotted some people kicking about a ball and went over. I stole da ball! Haha! Unfortunately they was a lot faster than me and they caught up with me soon enough. They thought I was cute! I was outraged! Somehow they recognised me! They brought me to Sunni. Well, they almost did. I bit one of them on his ball-kicking foot and I got away. I ran as fast as my legs would take me, until I bumped into a really tall lady with dark browny hair and a cat face on a band round her neck. I thought she would take me back home, but she took me back into da room I started in and let me walk around. Somewhere a bell rang just then and about twenty people came in including Sunni. I expected her to be very cross and take me home, but she just stared at me for a minute and then laughed and said she was cross, but she was proud of my thinking. Then they all sat down in the seats and started scribbling in yellow books. I crawled across all their laps and they all gave me a hug or a pat or a nose rub. Then the bell rang again, and they all gave me a bit of banana or apple and one of them tried to give me a piece of lettuce! Euch! He got da lettuce back. In his face. After dat they took me outside and I went to play with the ball people I bit earlier in a big green court. I kind of played. They wouldn’t let me kick about the ball. I doesn’t know if it was concern for my safety, or the fact their faces would soon be meeting the ground of their green court if Sunni found out. Either way, it was still fun to get piggybacked around. Then da bell rang again again and they took me to a big hall and all of them was doing funny things like standing upside down! I bounced on a trampoline with all Sunni’s friends. Then the bell rang and they took me back outside and this time I went to go and play with some big girls and they put my hair in bunches and tickled me and hugged me. After that we went back in and we went to a big room full of books and every one read me a baby book each. Then da bell rang and Sunni took me home. In her schoolbag.
It’s all true. Pinky promise…
I Want to Find Citrus by Sunni
This is based on I Want My Hat Back. A copy of this post can be found on the time machines blog.
Stealth Boy: I want to find Citrus. She put the time machine into hyper mode this morning. I need my revenge.
Stealth Boy: Have you seen Citrus? Courage Boy: No. I haven’t seen anything all day! I’ve been in my lab inventing! Stealth Boy: OK. Thank you anyway.
Stealth Boy: Have you seen Citrus? Typo and Error: No, master. Our scans do not detect Citrus. Stealth Boy: OK. Thank you anyway.
Stealth Boy: Have you seen Citrus? Commander Kitty: Wh-what?! No! I haven’t seen Citrus all… all week! I wouldn’t hide Citrus! Go look somewhere else! Wha- why are you asking me?! Go away! Stealth Boy: OK. Thank you anyway.
Stealth Boy: Have you seen Citrus? Silver Bat Boy: No, I- Hey! I thought we were enemies! Stealth Boy: Oh, sorry. You get back to your plotting.
Stealth Boy: Sigh. I can’t find Citrus anywhere! What if I never find her to get my revenge? She’ll have won! Super Boy: What’s wrong? Stealth Boy: I need to find Citrus to get my revenge, but I can’t find her anywhere! Super Boy: Can you still remember what she looks like? Stealth Boy: Yes. She has pink hair, a blue circle that looks exactly like the ones in the engine room, and- I HAVE SEEN CITRUS!!!! …*pant*… *puff*… You! You were hiding Citrus! Commander Kitty: I- KYAAAA!!
Some time later……
Courage Boy: Hey, Stealth Boy! Have you seen Commander Kitty anywhere? Stealth Boy: Wh-what?! No! I haven’t seen Commander Kitty all… all week! I wouldn’t Quantum Dagger Meteor Commander Kitty! Go look somewhere else! Wha- why are you asking me?! Go away! Courage Boy: OK. Thank you anyway.
