Total Wikia Elementary

The first year of elementary school is always a dramatic event. But this first grade class is more insane than anything you've ever seen before! A big group of characters (based off wikia users) will be thrown into a class together, and the result- total hilarous mayhem!

A collaboration by Sunshine and Zekie!

If you want your wikia character (ex. Sunshine the Ravioli Pixie, Matt Tollin) to be a student in the story, just post a picture of them and a brief discription on the talk page!

Chapter 1: The First Day
This Chapter is Brought to You by: Sunshineandravioli

As the clock read 7:34 on a cool September day, the previously-empty entrance of Wawanawkwa Elementary school became flooded with children- mostly first graders, being newly thrown into the world of education, experiencing for the first time the formal schooling without parents to guide and encourage them. Six hours a day, five days a week.

Of course, some found the experience more daunting than others.

Six-year-old boy Nalyd Renrut rolled his eyes as he passed another girl his age, sobbing as she clutched her mother’s leg. He gave his parents a wave goodbye, then submerged himself in the crowd of children.

It was a regular plethora of madness and strange faces. A dark skinned girl wearing headphones muttered to herself about the cold. A girl with bright orange hair clutched some sort of doll close to her chest. A somewhat tall, brown-haired girl adjusted her ponytail. After a moment of taking in the insanity, Nalyd caught a familiar face.

“Greg!” he called to the green-and-blue haired boy. Greg barely glanced up from whatever device he was toying with to acknowledge Nalyd. Nonetheless, Nalyd stood against the brick wall with him.

“So,” he commented, attempting to start some casual conversation, “first grade.”

“Yeah. ‘I’m a big kid now’.” Greg replied sarcastically. Both snickered, and the bell rang, relieving them of the need to actually talk to each other. The kids leaked into the school building as the principal directed kids to their classrooms.

“Nalyd Renrut, you’re in room A-113.” He instructed, pointing down the hall. Nalyd followed that path until he reached a door labeled A-113. He peered at the teacher’s name, printed neatly on a sheet of paper taped to the door.

MISS MCCLEAN, FIRST GRADE

Inhaling deeply, preparing to face whatever kind of monstrous teacher this “Miss McClean” might be, Nalyd stepped into the room.

The majority of his classmates were tearing around the room, hyped up either from panic or sugary breakfast cereals. In the center of the room was a fairly short, young-looking woman with short black hair, wearing a simple green dress that fell to her knees. She watched the children with an unsure expression as she attempted to settle them down.

So much for worrying. This year would be a piece of cake.

“Everyone, please find your seats.” She instructed in a shy voice. “Your names are on the desks. You’ll be sitting in these groups for the first quarter.” Slowly, most of the kids leaked to their seats, divided into a few groups. As he found his desk, Nalyd took the chance to look over the other five names at his group.

OWE, read the desk directly across from him.

MATT, said the one to his right.

TDIFAN, the one above that stated. It made Nalyd pause. Tdifan? What kind of parent names their kid that?! He continued nonetheless.

STEPHEN, read the desk on his left. That meant there was only one name left…

It was blocked by a pair of criss-crossed legs.

Nalyd’s head snapped up, and his eyes met the big, golden ones of the girl with the bright orange hair from earlier. She was sitting cross-legged on top of the desk, clutching her doll- it appeared to be of a teenaged boy with piercings and a Mohawk, oddly- and watching Nalyd with a curious expression.

Then she beamed, revealing a bright smile missing several teeth.

“HI!!!!!” She chirped in a voice loud enough to silence the room for a second or two before the other conversations continued. Nalyd flinched, scooting backwards somewhat in his seat.

“I’m Sunshine!” She declared, crawling onto Nalyd’s desk as he recoiled. “And I’m a ravioli pixie!” Nalyd blinked and stared, and saw that a pair of wings were settled on her back.

Okay… so, apparently, somewhere in this town, there were parents who named their child Sunshine, allowed her to believe she was a pixie, then let her bring not only her toy wings to school, but a doll, and not just any doll, but one that looked like a juvenile delinquent. It sort of made him want to move away. Soon.

“Sunshine,” A voice from behind Nalyd sighed, “please calm down. You’re a little too eager to make friends sometimes and it kind of scares people.” Nalyd turned to see a brown-haired boy wearing a black shirt that read “OWEN” on it. He was… oval-shaped, honestly. But there was a look in his eyes that made his appearance meaningless, a tone in his voice that made him seem almost all-knowing. Even the overeager “pixie” calmed down at his voice and took her seat. The boy was silent after that, and sat down in the seat that read “OWE”.

“So you’re Owe?” Nalyd asked after a moment. Owe nodded, and Nalyd guessed he would not speak unless necessary. Not surprising, considering the unmistakable gravity and power to his words. A few of the other kids were calming down and finding their groups. One brown-haired boy, holding what looked like a sketchbook, walked towards Nalyd’s group.

“HI MATT!!!” Sunshine screamed as she stood in her chair and waved to the boy. Nalyd cringed. So much for Owe’s calming words. Geez, her voice was so loud and annoying it was painful…

“Hi, Sunshine!” Matt greeted the girl. So, either they knew each other, or they were reading the names on the desks and pretending they knew each other. “Hi, Owe!” Matt greeted the boy seated across from Nalyd. Owe gave him a wave in response, but still did not treat the group with his powerful voice.

Matt turned to Nalyd. “And you’re…”

“Nalyd.”

“Well, nice to meet ya!” Matt said cheerfully, offering him a hand to shake. I wish I could share the sentiment, Nalyd thought to himself, but he shook the boy’s hand nonetheless.

Suddenly, someone slapped the back of Nalyd’s head, greeting him with “Hey, nerd!!!” Somewhat enraged, he whirled around, eyes meeting those of a black-haired kid with a red mohawk. He had a confident smirk on his face as he looked around the group.

“I guess I’ll be in your group for a while, so I figured I might as well introduce myself. The name’s Stephen, Stephen Nelson. Learn it.” With that, he took his seat, leaning back and propping his feet up on the desk. Nalyd could already tell he would not like this guy. Matt stood where he was for a minute, shuffling his feet awkwardly, then took his own seat.

Stuck with a pixie, a future delinquent, a happy freak, and this Owe guy, Nalyd thought to himself. What is the world coming to?!

His eyes shifted to the final empty desk, the one reading TDIFAN. Maybe he’d luck out and this last, sure-to-be-strange person wouldn’t come…

“Hi, guys!”

Argh. Too late.

A somewhat tall girl with a tan sweatshirt and brown hair in a ponytail bounded to the seat. So this was the famed “Tdifan”. Nalyd really began to hope it was just a strange nickname, fearing for the mental state of her parents if they had truly named her such.

“HI!!!” Sunshine greeted in a louder voice than necessary, making Nalyd flinch once more.

“You’re really, really annoying, you know that?” Stephen criticized. Both Sunshine and Tdifan ignored him.

“I’m Tdifan.” She introduced herself. “And yes, that’s really my name.”

Oh, dear god. Nalyd thought, resisting the urge to slam his head on the desk.

“So, I guess I’m the last person in this group!” She chirped as she sat down. “It’s great to meet you! Say, do you guys like Froot Loops?”

Nalyd raised an eyebrow at this incredibly random question.

Stephen placed his head in his hands, Owe gave the girl a stare, and both Matt and Sunshine enthusiastically nodded.

Help, I’m surrounded by idiots, Nalyd thought to himself. Complete, utter idiots. And one thinks she’s a pixie. HELP ME.

And thus was the birth of a little group of friends in Wawanawkwa Elementary. Whether they were all willing or not.

Chapter 2: The 1st Grade Dance!
This chapter bought to you by: Ezekielguy

Nalyd Renrut woke up that morning, to hear the sound of a guitar playing. It was a nice sound. Nalyd hated it. He looked out the window and saw a tent set up. The tent cover opened and out jumped the terrible kids (Who assumed they were his friends) from his first grade class. Out they walked one by one in a straight line. Owe, Tdifan, Matt, Stephen, and the most annoying of all, Sunshine.

“Hi, Nalyd! Hi!” They sang. Nalyd was very angry. VERY angry!

“Matt, why did you have to wake me up with that stupid guitar of yours?” He shouted out his window.

“Oh, Come on Renny!” said Sunshine cheerfully. Renny, Nalyd thought. Where did she come up with that one?

“We were bored so we asked Matt to play us a song!”

“Is that so?” Nalyd shouted. “Well what song did you ask him to play? ‘Cause it’s terrible!”

“Feel Good Inc…” Said Matt timidly.

“DON’T ANSWER THAT!!!!!!!!!” Nalyd screamed.

“Calm down, Everyone.” Owe said softly. And everyone stopped talking.

That’s when Sunshine flew up with her little pixie wings, grabbed Nalyd by his ear and took him down to his backyard.

“Come on, man! Or we’ll be late to school” said Matt. Nalyd had just noticed Matt was carrying what looked like a taxidermy pig with fuzzy dice hanging from it’s neck on a string. The hooves had been replaced by big wheels that looked like they had been whipped off a jumbo jet and sticking out from under the tail were two long car-pipes, marvelous orange sparks coming out the openings. What a weirdo. When the bus arrived at Wawanakwa Elementary School, the kids took they’re seats in the classroom.

“Boys and girls,” Said the shy, sweet, first grade teacher, Mrs. MClean. “We are going to have our first full day of school which means lunch. For lunch, we will have to go past the High School. I want you to be on you’re best behavior!”

“Yes, Mrs. Mclean!” the students replyed at the exact same time like the sweet little angelic obedient robots they were.

So, after the kids packed up for lunch, They walked through the hallway. They saw paintings that some of the older kids did. One boy, Sprinklemist tried to touch one.

“Please, Sprinklemist. Don’t touch, just look.” Said Mrs. Mclean.

“Oh, but, Mrs. MClean!” Sprinklemist whined. “They’re so pretty! And look at how colorful it is!”

“You must try to control yourself.” Mrs. MClean said.

And finally, they went past the High School class room. Nalyd and his group decided to stop to learn about High School and how what they do there is different from what they do in first grade. The teacher, Mr. Kenzen was just ending the lesson.

“And don’t forget!” He said. “Tonight is the honorable High School Dance!” All of the high-schoolers cheered.

“A dance?” Said Matt “That sounds like fun!”

“Oh, a dance!” Said Tdifan. “I saw one of those on TV. They bring people called dates and dance with them.”

“Ooh!” Said Sunshine. “Are they in L-U-V, Love?”

“Uh, Sunshine…” Said Owe tapping her on the head. “You know you spelled that wrong, right?” Sunshine ignored him.

“Yes,” said Tdifan. “They’re in love!”

“Sunny likes to dance!” Said Sunshine. “Come on Nalyd! You and me! Tonight!”

Nalyd was about to say something, but before he could, Sunshine said, in a scary low intimidating voice, “'''BE THERE! OR ELSE, RENRUT'''!!!!”

“But, you can’t go, Sunshine!” said Owe. “It’s for High Schoolers only!”

“Then we’ll all sneak in! Tonight!” Sunshine shouted.

Stephen looked around for someone to go with, and realized, their was only one girl left and that was the dreaded Tdifan1234. So he turned to Owe and said “You and me, Buddy!” and grabbed him by the wrist.

Now the only two standing were Matt who was strumming his guitar awkwardly and Tdifan who was grinning at him evilly. Matt looked up from his guitar and saw Tdifan. “Uh…? No! Oh, no! You can’t make me! You can’t…. AHHH!!!” And everyone laughed as Tdifan chased Matt around the lunch room and beat him up. “Okay,” Said Matt, breathing in after a life-time pumbling. “I guess I’ll go with you…”

Later, that night, Nalyd came to Sunshine's house to pick her up. He had to style up his hair into a green mohawk or she'd get mad. Nalyd did'nt understand why.

The moment he arrived at the house, which was a giant piece of ravioli, windows and doors included, Sunshine burst out wearing a little gown with Ragu tomatoe sauce stains all over it.

"It's a Designer Pierre Von Noodle!" said the annoying little pixie as she posed for Nalyd "Whaddya think?"

Nalyd shrugged. He walked Sunshine over to his tricycle and they rode over to the school. There they met Matt and Tdifan standing at the entrance.

Tdifan was foaming at her mouth.

"Hey, cats." Matt said to them. "She's been doin this crazy rabies thing ever since I picked her up!"

"Holy Ravioli!" Said Sunshine "SHE'S GOT MEH RABIES!!!"

"Um... Yeah" Said Nalyd. "Matt... Just... Said that..."

Tdifan slapped Matt.

"MEH!" She screamed. "MEH GUITAR!!!!!"

"No..." said Matt. "It's uh... my guitar." and they all stepped into the High School gynasium.

"Who are you?" Asked the gym teacher.

"Were...uh... FRESHMAN!!!" said Nalyd who actually knew what a freshman was. "Young, cute, short freshman!" "Come on in!" Said the gym teacher.

Waiting for them were Stephen and Owe. Owe was wearing a blonde ladie's wig and a dress with flowers.

"What... The....?" said Nalyd blankly.

"Well, I had to!" Stephen shouted. "Everyone would think I was Ga..." He was about to speak up untill the gym teahcer spoke from the mic.

"Everyone grab you're date!" He said. "It's time for the very first couple dance!"

"Ooh!" said Sunshine as she dragged Nalyd down to the dance floor.

Nalyd screamed. "NO! NO! BAD SUNSHINE!!!!! BAD!!!!"

Tdifan grinned deviously at Matt. "No! Oh no! No!"

After the dance, the dates said goodbye to eachother, except for Tdifan who slapped Matt.

"Well, Renny!" said Sunshine. "See you 'round." And she kissed him on the cheek causing him to throw up. He was appcent at school the next day.

Chapter 3: When Friends Collide
This chapter is brought to you by: Nalyd Renrut

After a year in America and a month in the first grade, Nalyd had grown used to his new surroundings, except his friends. Bunch of crazy idiots, he’d think to himself everyday as he’d get dressed for school. Matt was always outside Nalyd’s house playing the guitar. Nalyd would walk out the door and see Matt standing in front of Nalyd’s house.

“Nalyd?” Matt would say when Nalyd got outside. “You live here? Wow! What a coincidence!” Every morning. Then Sunshine would jump out of a bush and scare Nalyd until he’d wet himself, at which point he’d need to go back inside, change, and return. “Nalyd?” Matt would repeat. Sunshine would proceed to throws flowers at Nalyd that she got from his mother’s garden. After school Nalyd would have to replant those flowers. On the bus Nalyd would sit crammed between Sunshine and Matt who sung “Wheels on the Bus” horribly out of key; due to an overdose of sugary cereal.

Nalyd would walk into class and learn; or at least he’d try to. Sunshine and Matt continuously passed him notes reading “Hi” and “Hey Renny” and “Why do you keep throwing our notes away? :( ” Sometimes Ms. McClean would keep Nalyd after school because of passing notes. Matt and Sunshine would wait outside making Nalyd “mud pies” and refusing to let him go home before taste-testing each one. Nalyd hated everyday of it.

One day, Nalyd’s mother came into his room with a letter. “Dear Nalyd,” Nalyd read aloud, “How have you been? We all miss you over here in England. In fact, we decided to come to America and visit this Saturday! Your friend back home, Charles!” Nalyd jumped up and down excitedly. “Mom! Charles and the guys are coming to town!”

“But Nalyd, dear,” his mother interrupted, “Sunshine and Matt are coming over that day.” Nalyd froze and passed out.

Finally, Saturday came. Sunshine and Matt waited outside Nalyd’s house, as he never allowed them inside. Nalyd sighed and marched outside. Matt ran up to Nalyd and clung to Nalyd’s head. “What are you doing, dare I ask?” Nalyd asked.

“Quiet, Nalyd!” Sunshine scolded. There was a brief silence followed by Matt omitting a high-pitched screech. “Yay!” Sunshine cheered.

“What?” Nalyd shouted. “What’s going on?”

Sunshine and Matt rolled their eyes. “You’re such a square, Nalyd,” Matt said. Nalyd stared at them confused, while Matt and Sunshine stared back.

“You guys wanna play hide and seek?” Nalyd asked. Matt and Sunshine nodded excitedly. “Okay, you guys go hide, and I’ll count to a bigillion!”

“Wow, Nalyd,” Matt commented. “We know bigillion isn’t a number. Just count to a gillion!” Matt and Sunshine ran away to hide. Nalyd shook his head and prepared for Charles and his old friends from England.

An hour later, a ring at the door signified Nalyd’s friends’ arrival. Nalyd opened the door and saw Charles, Sam, and Ethan standing at the door. “Nalyd!” The said in unison. The four friends hugged and went into the backyard.

“Nalyd, how are you, sir?” Charles asked.

“Very good, old bean and you?” Nalyd asked. The four continued in their upper-class small talk until they saw something in the sand box. It was rainbow colored and covered in sand.

“Good heavens, what is that?” Sam asked terrified. The thing started emerging from the sand.

“Nalyd! You found me!” Sunshine exclaimed as she shook the sand off herself. She stared at Charles, Sam, and Ethan. “Wow! It’s like a square convention! Matt, get over here!” Matt jumped out of Sam’s sweater vest and held out a stuffed pig.

“It’s a pig,” Matt said, “I’m gonna be a taxoderminist!” Nalyd stared in horror as Sunshine and Matt destroyed his reputation.

“Well, Nalyd,” Charles said, “It seems that these friends of yours are proof enough, you are a total loser now!” Charles, Sam, and Ethan laughed and walked away. Nalyd glared at Matt and Sunshine. They held out the stuffed pig to Nalyd, but ran away when they heard the ice cream truck.

The following Monday, Sunshine and Matt stood outside Nalyd’s house. They waited, and waited more. They grew impatient and left, but returned with a bowl of salsa. Soon they realized Nalyd wasn’t coming so they decided to throw rocks at his window. One crashed through and they heard Nalyd scream in pain, so they ran to school.

“Where’s Nalyd?” Tdifan asked concerned.

“Yeah, where is the dork?” Stephen asked.

“He wouldn’t come outside!” Matt exclaimed. “Which is really weird because usually he comes outside, goes back inside, then comes back outside!”

Sunshine moped. “I couldn’t jump out of bushes and scare him. I jumped out and scared an elderly woman instead.”

“Wouldn’t that be Nalyd’s mother?” Tdifan asked, even more concerned.

“I don’t know probably,” Sunshine said.

“Why not go to his house after school and see what’s wrong?” Owe suggested. The group nodded, as if mesmerized.

Matt, Tdifan, Owe, and Stephen stood outside Nalyd’s house as Sunshine boldly walked in. None of them had ever been inside Nalyd’s house. The group heard slamming and shouting sounds and Sunshine walked out a calm as could be.

Matt stepped forward. “So?”

“It was really weird in there!” Sunshine explained, “There were lots of open circuits. I was so tempted to stick a fork in the wall, so I could be electrocuted. That’s what my mom said would happen, anyway. And I always wondered hat being electrocuted was like! All the circuits at home are filled with cement.”

The group stared. “No!” Tdifan shouted. “Nalyd! How is he?”

“Oh,” Sunshine said, no longer confused. “His door was locked. He wouldn’t let me in! I said please like thirty times.”

“What about the axe I gave you in case you had any problems?” Stephen asked.

“Oh that? I started destroying the door but his mom came up and started shouting something about a lawsuit and destruction of private property. She gave me a cookie in exchange for me promising to never return!” Sunshine held the cookie up proudly. “But I had my fingers crossed!” She chomped down on the cookie.

Owe shook his head in disappointment. He marched inside and upstairs. He knocked on Nalyd’s. Nalyd could tell by the silence that followed that it was Owe. Nalyd opened the door and Owe stepped in. “Nalyd, I know you’re upset. Tell me what’s wrong.”

Calmly, Nalyd explained the vents of Saturday’s play date.

“Interesting,” Owe said. He thought about what Nalyd had said. “Now Nalyd, consider this. Think of who left you because of your friends. Think of who was trying to help you. Think about the fact that those jerks will never see you again.”

Nalyd sat up. “You’re right Owe.” Nalyd hugged Owe. Owe walked outside to the group.

“So?” Matt asked.

Owe shrugged. “Sunshine was right. Lots of electrical circuits.”

~End of Chapter 3

Chapter 4: The Substitute Teacher
This chapter is brought to you by: Tdifan1234

''How could I have caught rabies? ''Miss McClean thought. Could it have been from one of the kids? She thought back earlier that day and remembered that Tdifan and Sunshine were acting rather strange and bit her arm. She sighed and dialed a number on her cell phone.

"Hi. Mr. Charlie? It's Christin. Can you fill in for me tomorrow as First grade teacher at Wawanakwa Elementary? I seem to have caught rabies!" said Miss MaClean over the phone.

"Whatever. Just don't give me rabies!" the mysterious voice on the other line said.

"Thank you! Good luck tomorrow!"

Miss McClean hung up the phone, groaned, and went to bed.

The next morning, Nalyd woke up to his usual wake up call. Matt and Sunshine were outside singing a song and throwing flowers again. ''Ugh, What will it take for them to stop?!?! ''Nalyd thought. He heard a knock on the door. It was his mother. "Come on in," he said. "Nalyd, honey, You'll be carpooling with your friends today, k?" Nalyd's mom said. "By friends you mean--" "Matt and Sunshine!" "Wonderful..." Nalyd said sarcastically. ''Great. A 20 minute car-ride with tweedle-dumb and tweedle-dumber...'' He thought.

The car-ride was miserable for Nalyd. Matt and Sunshine were singing some really annoying song:

Matt: Do you like waffles?

Sunshine: Yeah, We like waffles!

Matt: Do you like pancakes?

Sunshine:Yeah, We like pancakes!

Matt: Do you like French Toast?

Sunshine: Yeah, We like French Toast!

Both: Do do-do-do, Can't wait to get a mouthfull!

Nalyd started slamming his head on the car window thinking, ''Will this day ever end?!?! It's only 8:15 and it feels like this day has been going on for years!!!!''

The car finally arrived at the school. An angelic chorus rang in Nalyd's mind. It's finally over!!!!!! he thought. But he didn't expect what he was about to see when he entered the classroom...

Imagine entering your first grade classroom one day and seeing a gray unicorn sitting where your theacher usually sits. The average first grader would either run screaming or cry. But, the kids in this class are the farthest from average you will ever see. When Nalyd came into the classroom and saw Charlie the Unicorn, he stood at the doorway and thought, ''Oh dear god, a unicorn? ''Matt and Sunshine had a totally different reaction. They ran up to Charlie and gave him a hug. "Get off of me you--" "He talks! EEEEEEEE!" Sunshine said. "Get to your seats," Charlie said. Matt and Sunshine went to their seats.

After about 10 minutes, everyone arrived.

"Ok, I'm gonna take a nap now. Do whatever you want," Charlie said.

"Wait, Mr. Unicorn. Where's Miss McClean?" Gigi said, concerned.

"Not here," said Charlie flatly.

"What happened?" asked Zak.

"She caught rabies," Charlie replied.

"How did she catch rabies?" Greg asked.

Sunshine and Tdifan looked at each other and they grinned evilly.

"Ok, What did you two do this time?" Owe said.

"Uhhhhhh...nothin'," they both said simultaneoulsy.

"Did you guys give Miss McClean rabies?" asked Spriklemist.

"Maybe..." Tdifan said.

Stephen facepalmed himself and shook his head. Owe scooted his seat away from Tdifan and Sunshine. They both just gave each other a high five.

''Wow, What a great teacher! It must take a whole lot of skill to take a nap and leave first graders alone in a classroom! ''Nalyd sarcastically thought.

After that, Nalyd saw something even stranger than having a unicorn as a substitute. One red unicorn and one blue unicorn jumped in through the open window. Is this just some sick, twisted nightmare? Nalyd thought.

"EEEEEEEEEE!" Sunshine and Matt said as they ran up to the unicorns and gave them a hug.

"We found a map to candy mountain!" the red unicorn said cheerfully.

"Candy mountain!" said the blue unicorn.

"What's Candy Mountain?" Sprinklemist said.

"It's a land of sweets and sugar and happiness!" said the red unicorn.

"Can you take us there?" Sunshine said eagerly.

"Yeah! Let's go!" said the blue unicorn.

"FIELD TRIP!!!!!" Matt shouted excitedly.

The kids rode on the backs of the unicorns as they headed toward Candy Mountain.

"Here it is! Candy Mountain!" said the red unicorn as they landed.

"Really? But isn't this a Gas station?" Owe asked, confused.

"Be quiet, little fat boy! You'll ruin the MAGIC!" said the blue unicorn.

Owe glared at the blue unicorn while Greg laughed at him.

"Heh heh....That sorta reminds me of a dream I had once...." Tdifan said.

"D-d-dream?" Sunshine stammered.

She sat up from her bed.

"Wow, that was a weird dream! Heh heh, I guess I'll just go back to sleep..."

Well, you may think this is the end. If you did, you are sadly mistaken. Let's just take you back to the classroom for a bit.

Charlie was still in the classroom asleep. He suddenly woke up, only to find the kids were nowhere to be found.

"Alright, Who stole the children?"

THE END

Chapter 5: Sunshine’s Birthday, Everybody Run!
This chapter is brought to you by: Nalyd Renrut

At 7:25 a.m., Sunshine, Matt, and Nalyd got onto the bus. Nalyd had noticed Sunshine and Matt were wearing party hats. “What’s with the hats?” Nalyd asked. Sunshine looked at him and her eyes started to water. Matt slapped Nalyd in the back of the head. “Ouch!” Nalyd shouted. “What was that for?”

“It’s Sunshine’s B-E-R-T-H-D-A-E!” Matt whispered.

Nalyd raised an eyebrow. “Beerthdie?”

“No!” Matt said, slapping him again. “Birthday; it’s her birthday! Nalyd, you need to work on your spelling. How could you forget Sunshine’s birthday? It’s all she’s been talking about for the past three weeks!”

Nalyd shrugged. “After hanging out with Sunshine for a while I learned how to block her out.” Nalyd looked over at Sunshine who had been crying. “Happy birthday, Sunshine.”

Sunshine lit up and hugged Nalyd. “Thanks, Renny!”

“Sunshine,” Nalyd said, “Did you forget the no hug rule?”

“Maybe,” Sunshine said sitting back up. She reached into her backpack and pulled out a card. “Here is an invitation to my party, Nalyd! It’s at Chuck E. Cheeses!”

“Where a kid can be a kid!” Matt sang.

“Okay, thanks,” Nalyd said, putting the card in his pocket.

“But don’t tell everyone,” Sunshine whispered, “I’m only inviting my closest friends.” The bus stopped and the three walked to class. They put their backpacks in their cubbies and sat down. Sunshine stood on her desk. “You’re all invited to my birthday party!” The class cheered. Nalyd rolled his eyes, knowing that the whole class probably did make up Sunshine’s closest friends.

On Saturday, Chuck E. Cheeses filled up with a class of hyper first graders. After fifteen minutes of faking his own death, Nalyd arrived. He walked in holding Sunshine’s gift, the first season of “So You Think You Can Make an Idiot of Yourself on T.V.” He walked past the play area but stopped at the ball pit, thinking he heard Matt. He stared at the pit until Sunshine jumped out. “Surprise!” Sunshine said as she sprang up. Nalyd screeched like a little girl and fell backwards. “Wow! That’s the first time I scared you and you didn’t wet yourself, congratulations!” Sunshine said.

Nalyd got up and brushed himself off. “Where is Matt?” he asked looking around for Sunshine’s partner in crime.

“He’s in the hospital,” Sunshine shrugged, grabbing then opening her gift from Nalyd.

“What? Is he okay?” Nalyd asked, genuinely concerned.

“Yeah some sort of taxidermy accident,” Sunshine said. She was disappointed with the gift, as she only watched Total Drama Island, nothing else.

In the hospital, Matt was lying in bed, begging to go to the party. “Please!” he shouted. “’Tis a mere flesh wound!”

“Matt, you swallowed a car battery!” His dad retorted.

“I’ll be fine!” Matt replied. “It tasted better than Mom’s cooking.” His mother scolded him and walked out of the hospital room.

Back at Chuck E. Cheeses, all the kids were playing tag in the jungle gym. Stephen was it, and he didn’t like it. He rampaged through the playground until he found Tdifan. “You’re mine, nerd,” Stephen whispered and lunged at her. She moved to the side and Stephen went tumbling down the slide.

“Brains beat brawn any day!” she said triumphantly. She looked out a small window. “Ooh! Flashy lights!” she said and ran out of the playground.

Stephen growled and ran back inside the plastic playground. He saw Greg sitting perfectly still on a bridge. “Too easy,” Stephen said to himself. He reached out, but his hand passed right through Greg. “What the?” He looked at the bridge and saw something metal with light coming out of it where “Greg” was. “A hologram!” He turned and saw the real Greg running. “Get back here, nerd!”

Nalyd was sitting in the ball pit where Sunshine had been hiding. Nalyd thought he was alone. “Hey, Nalyd!” Sunshine said casually as she walked to the pit.

“Sunshine!” Nalyd hissed. “Be quiet! I’m trying to hide!” He ducked down into the pit of cheap plastic.

Sunshine rolled her eyes and sat next to him. “You know, Nalyd, you don’t have very good taste in gifts. Everyone else got me a Duncan doll. Even I got myself a Duncan doll!” She continued to rant about the gift until Nalyd handed her a green ball that was the same color as Duncan’s hair. “The precious,” she muttered. Nalyd took this opportunity to hide in the slide. Unfortunately, Zak was going down the slide and ran Nalyd over. Nalyd returned to Sunshine. “Wow! Renny you got a black eye! Black like Duncan’s natural hair,” she sighed, starting to trail off. Nalyd looked at her awkwardly and ran away.

Gigi and Sprinklemist were playing Dance Dance Revolution. Gigi was winning. Mostly because Sprinklemist had gotten bored and decided to draw on the walls.

“Hey kids! Cake time!” shouted a man in a Chuck E. costume. Everyone sat at the table and Sunshine sat at the end.

“I’d like to thank you all for coming,” Sunshine said happily. Her parents brought out Sunshine’s favorite desert; ravioli. They cut pieces for all the kids. Most just stared at the strange choice of dessert. “Dig in!” Sunshine said. Nobody moved. She stomped on Nalyd’s foot and he quickly took a bite.

“That is so-” he started shouting but Sunshine stepped on his foot again. “Delicious. That is so delicious.” The rest started eating and enjoyed the ravioli.

At the end of the day, everybody’s parents came to pick them up. “Bye!” Sunshine said and hugged Owe. “Thanks for coming!” she said and hugged Tdifan. “It was really nice of you not to break anything,” Sunshine said and hugged Stephen. “Bye, Renny!” she said, but didn’t hug Nalyd, remembering his rule.

“Fine,” Nalyd said, “But only because I didn’t get you a Duncan doll.” Sunshine hugged him and Nalyd ran to his car after.

Later that night, a hospital resident had broken out. They had hooked up a car engine to a wheelchair, and blasted out a window. They rode up to Chuck E. Cheese. “Hello?” Matt asked as he sat in the tricked out chair. “Anybody there? Hello? I have a Duncan doll for you, Sunshine!”

Chapter 6: The Visit to Ten Flags
This Chapter is Brought to You by: Sunshineandravioli

First-grader Nalyd Renrut was one of those rare few children that loved to learn. He was the type of child who would actually smile as he went to school, would remember some of the stuff he learned in class, and longed for weekends to be over.

Well, he WAS, until he started first grade. Once there, he’d found himself stuck with a group of idiots who thought themselves his friends. Nalyd quickly found Saturday and Sunday to be his new favorite days of the week, for the mere fact he could avoid his so-called friends.

One quiet Saturday, Nalyd was sitting alone in his room, reading a new book. Finally, it was the weekend, and he could be away from those horrible idiots that called themselves his friends. From Sunshine, the Duncan-obsessed pixie; to Stephen, the future delinquent; to Tdifan, the oddly-named, rabid nerd; to Matt, the guitar-playing hopeful taxidermist; to Owe, who… wasn’t actually that bad. But, he went where the group went, so Nalyd had to avoid him to avoid the rest of them.

As he read his book, a few small rocks started hitting Nalyd’s window. Ugh, he thought, burying his nose further into his book, the idiots are coming… just ignore them… However, such advice quickly became hard to follow as Sunshine crashed through the window, tied to a large rock. Nalyd dropped his book in surprise and lurched backwards, barely avoiding getting a broken foot from the huge rock.

“HI RENNY!” Sunshine greeted him, grinning hugely as usual. “None of the rocks we threw were getting your attention, so Stephen decided to throw me! He’s so smart!!!”

“Sunshine, in case you’ve forgotten again, today is SATURDAY.” Nalyd sighed. “We don’t have school today. What could you possibly-” Before he could finish his sentence, Nalyd found the hood of his jacket pulled over his face and tied tight so he couldn’t shake it off. Someone grabbed his arms and held them behind his back. “What in the-?!”

“Quiet, Nalyd!” He heard Matt shout. The next thing he knew, he was picked up and being carried down the stairs of his house.

“Hi, Mrs. Nalyd’s mom!” Nalyd could hear Tdifan shout. “We’re taking Nalyd for today, okay, thanks, bye!!!”

“Wait! Where are we going???” Nalyd shouted, struggling as his idiotic “friends” carried him off to who-knows where.

“Calm down, Nalyd.” Owe’s voice reassured him. Nalyd was instantly less panicked, and even relaxed a little as the morons carried him off.

After what seemed to be a long time, Nalyd was finally dropped unceremoniously onto the ground. “OW!” He screamed, attempting to pull his hood off his head, though it was tied tight. “Where the heck are we?!”

“I GOT IT RENNY!!!” Sunshine’s voice screamed, followed by the hood being painfully yanked from his face and another yelp of pain from Nalyd.

“Wimp,” Stephen scoffed.

Nalyd glared at his “friend” then looked at his surroundings. To his surprise, he wasn’t at the school, the playground, or even the local pasta shop Sunshine loved to randomly drag Nalyd to. No, he and his five classmates were at none other than the entrance to an amusement park!!!

“Everybody say hello to…” Matt paused for dramatic effect. “…TEN FLAGS!!!”

“MORE FLAGS!” Sunshine quoted the commercial. “Er… MORE FLAGS!!!”

“Stephen got six tickets, so we all decided to go!!!” Tdifan explained.

“I won ‘em in a card game!” Stephen added proudly.

“SO WHAT ARE WE STANDING AROUND HERE FOR???” Sunshine screamed, randomly lifting up Nalyd. “LET’S GO IN!!!” After another couple seconds of standing there, her arms gave out and Nalyd crushed her. He rolled his eyes and stood up, allowing Sunshine to bounce back, unfazed, and try to dash straight into the park. Owe grabbed her by the ponytail and held her back as Stephen gave the ticket guy their tickets.

“Go right in,” he allowed. Matt, Tdifan, and Sunshine rabidly dashed in, like little kids in a candy store, with Nalyd, Stephen, and Owe following afterwards.

“…and I wanna go on that and I wanna go on that and I wanna go on that…” Sunshine jabbered, pointing to anything and everything that happened to catch her eye.

“OH MY GOSH LOOK!!! Flashy lights!!!” Tdifan screamed, clapping as she stared at some flashing lights on a sign.

Matt just grinned stupidly as he stared at everything Sunshine happened to point at. After a moment, though, something caught Matt’s attention, and his eyes grew so huge Nalyd thought for a moment they were going to pop straight out of his head.

“Roller coaster,” he breathed, pointing up to the tracks of the park’s crown jewel, a hundred feet high, practically blocking out the sun. The first-graders, other than Tdifan who was very distracted by the little flashing lights, stared in awe at it, their jaws agape.

“…WELL WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR???” Sunshine screamed, beaming. “LET’S GO ON THAT ROLLER COASTER!!!!” With that, the five kids ran to the roller coaster (Tdifan was content just to watch the flashy lights). The guy admitting people onto the roller let Nalyd and Matt in, as they met the height requirement. However, he paused at Sunshine.

“Sorry, ravioli girl, you’re not tall enough to ride.” He told her.

“What?” Sunshine gasped, eyes watering. “No! You can’t do this to me! This is discrimination against the pixie minority!!! I’ll file a lawsuit!!!” She paused suddenly. “OH MY PASTA, I SOUND LIKE COURTNEY!” She then began screaming and running in circles, until she ran into a wall.

“I’ll stay with her,” Stephen sighed, giving a last longing look at the roller coaster. “Otherwise, she’ll probably blow up the park.”

“Good thinking,” Nalyd replied as he was buckled into the ride vehicle next to Matt. Owe stood up against the marker that showed whether or not one was tall enough to ride, and was pleased to see he was.

“Sorry, little dude, I can’t let you on,” The admission guy apologized. “You’re too fat; you won’t fit in the vehicle.” Owe frowned and walked away.

“Alright, have fun, kids!” The guy shouted to Nalyd and Matt as he pushed the button that started the ride. Just as the vehicle took off, the guy looked at his watch. “Hey, time for my break!” He left the ride, whistling to himself, as the roller coaster zoomed over the tracks unattended.

In the meantime, Owe sat by himself on a bench in the park, watching the tourists pass by. Suddenly, a park worker grabbed Owe’s arm. “What are you doing here?!” He hissed. “You’re supposed to be entertaining the guests!”

“But-” Owe protested, confused.

“No buts!” The worked retorted, dragging Owe to the front gate and leaving him in front of a large group of tourists.

“It’s the fat man!” One child screamed. “Dance, mister fat man!” Owe suddenly remembered, much to his dismay, that the Ten Flags mascot was a dancing fat guy.

“But I’m not-“ he began to protest.

“DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!” The tourists chanted. Owe shrugged and began dancing. Sunshine and Stephen will probably come looking for me soon, he thought.

In the meantime, Sunshine was wandering around the park with Stephen. “OOH! A merry-go-round!!!” She cheered, pointing to the merry-go-round and bouncing up and down excitedly.

“Shouldn’t we look for Owe?” Stephen reminded her.

“MERRY-GO-ROUND!!!!” She screamed, foaming at the mouth a little. Stephen shrugged, and walked into the line with her.

Back at the roller coaster, Nalyd and Matt were approaching the end. “That was awesome!!!” Matt laughed.

“I almost fell out during the loop-de-loop!!!” Nalyd snapped.

“I know!!! That was awesome!!!” Matt laughed again.

“I’m just glad it’s over,” Nalyd muttered, preparing to get out of the vehicle. However, it suddenly rocketed out of the start again. “WHY IS IT NOT STOPPING???” Nalyd screamed.

“WHOOO! Free second ride!!!” Matt cheered as the roller coaster tears down the track once again.

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Nalyd screamed, clutching to the bar of the vehicle for dear life.

In the meantime, Owe was still dancing for the cheering tourists. …yup… Sunshine and Stephen will be here anytime now… he told himself.

The aforementioned pixie and delinquent, however, were still at the merry-go-round. “ONE MORE TIME!!!!!” Sunshine cheered.

“Ugh, Sunshine…” Stephen moaned, “this is the seventeenth time… can’t we do something else???”

“ONE MORE TIME!!!!!” Sunshine declared again. Stephen groaned, then noticed Sunshine’s Duncan doll. He snatched it and held it just out of her reach. “NOOO! DUNCAN!” She squealed, leaping for the doll.

“Follow Duncan, Sunshine!” Stephen instructed her, leading her away from the merry-go-round. She followed unerringly, wailing the entire time for her doll.

Once the merry-go-round was well out of sight, Stephen gave Sunshine back the doll. She inspected it for damage for a minute, then looked around. “COTTON CANDY!!!” She screamed, pointing happily to a cotton candy stand. Before Stephen could say anything, she dashed to the stand and caught the owner’s attention. “Eight, please! He’ll pay!” she explained, pointing to Stephen.

“ME?! Why do I-“ before he could continue, Sunshine took the sugary treats and flopped down on a bench, digging into one. “Whatever,” he muttered, paying the stand owner. “It’s just a little sugar, and it’s keeping her occupied. How bad can it be?”

Twenty minutes later, an extremely sugar-high Sunshine tore around the park, wild and uncontrolled. Stephen chased her, holding her Duncan doll again. “Sunshine, stop!!!” He screamed. “Look, Duncan! Follow Duncan!!! NO, DON’T BREAK THAT! SUNSHIIIINNNEEE!!!!!!!!”

Meanwhile, Nalyd and Matt were still rocketing along the roller coaster track, which had still refused to stop.

“FIFTEEN FREE RIDES!!!!” Matt cheered as they went over a hill. “I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!”

“I’M GOING TO DIE HHHEEERRREEE!!!!!!” Nalyd screamed as the vehicle prepared to slow, though it would inevitably continue. Suddenly, the screams of a hyper ravioli pixie cut through the racket of the roller coaster, and an extremely hyper Sunshine rushed towards the roller coaster, with Stephen in pursuit. In her rabid explosion of energy, Sunshine stumbled into the control area for the roller coaster and hit the “stop” button.

“SUNSHINE, DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING!!! I KNOW YOU’LL BREAK IT!!!” Stephen screamed after her. Much to Nalyd’s surprise, the roller coaster slowed and finally stopped.

“THANK YOU!!!” He screamed to the sky, leaping out of the roller coaster with a cheer.

“Aw, man, it’s over already?” Matt lamented, reluctantly climbing out of the vehicle. Stephen looked between the hyper pixie and Nalyd, then quickly grabbed Nalyd’s hoodie and tied it around Sunshine, using it as a leash.

“COTTON CANDY!!!!!!!!” She screeched, struggling against her restraint.

“You gave her cotton candy?!” Nalyd asked Stephen incredulously. “How much?!”

“…eight bags…” Stephen admitted, exhausted.

“EIGHT???” Nalyd repeated.

“Well, she ordered them!” Stephen rationalized. “Besides, I figured it’d just keep her quiet until you guys showed up!!!”

“Wait…” Matt commented, looking over the group. “…someone’s missing… where’s Tdifan???”

“Tdifan? I haven’t seen her since this morning.” Stephen replied.

“You lost Tdifan?!” Nalyd criticized.

“You try watching her alone sometime!!!” Stephen snapped, gesturing to the pixie, who was currently trying to chew her way through the makeshift leash.

“I’ll find her!!!” Matt declared. He then proceeded to dash between other park guests, asking each one, “have you seen our nerd?”

“You’ve gotta be kidding…” Nalyd groaned as he watched the spectacle.

“Hey guys, what’s up?” Tdifan asked, randomly showing up.

“Not now, Tdifan, we’re looking for you!” Matt shouted. He paused for a moment. “TDIFAN!” He cheered. “We found you!!!”

“Where did you go?!” Stephen asked, struggling to keep the pixie under control.

“I’ve just been staring at the pretty flashy lights.” She shrugged. “Why, did you guys leave?” Nalyd and Stephen both stared incredulously at her.

“I’m going home and sleeping until Monday…” Nalyd groaned, starting off towards the exit.

“This day has been long enough…” Stephen agreed, dragging Sunshine with them.

“NOOOO!” Sunshine protested, struggling against the makeshift leash. “MERRY-GO-ROUND!!! COTTON CANDY!!! MORE FLAGS!!!”

“Wow, what’s with Sunshine?” Tdifan commented, confused. “What’d I miss?”

“I dunno, something about cotton candy.” Matt shrugged as they exited the park.

And so, Nalyd spent the rest of his weekend locked up in his room with a headache and nausea from his fifteen turns on the roller coaster. Sunshine, Matt, and Tdifan all gave their highest praise to the trip. And Stephen initiated an immediate ban on giving Sunshine any form of sugar. And though no one quite knew what, everyone felt as if they’d forgotten something…

Back at Ten Flags, a group of tourists was still applauding as an extremely chubby first-grader danced for them. C’mon, Sunshine… Stephen… anyone… Owe thought desperately. ''You can show up anytime now… guys…?! ''

Chapter 7: The Ravioli Action Squad (in 2-D)
This chapter is brought to you by: Nalyd Renrut

Tap. Tap. Tap. Nalyd turned in his bed to get away from the tapping at his window. Crash! A rock goes flying through, followed by a large child. Nalyd jumped out of bed and looked at Owe sitting on his floor.

“What’s going on?” Nalyd asked Owe in confusion. Owe pointed outside the window. Nalyd leaned his head out the hole in the window, and was hit by another rock.

“Get down here, Renny!” Sunshine shouted as Stephen continued throwing rocks.

“Why?” Nalyd shouted back.

“We got out report cards today!” Matt answered.

“Cool!” Nalyd said. He threw Owe back out the window, got dressed, and ran outside. “Where are they?” Nalyd asked excitedly.

“Where are what?” Matt asked.

“The report cards!” Nalyd said holding his hands out.

“What report cards?” Tdifan asked. Nalyd realized he had been tricked into coming outside.

“I’m going inside,” Nalyd said turning around.

“No, Nalyd!” Sunshine said, “Wait! You need to stay outside! You’re so pale!” Nalyd was about to argue, but turned and joined the group.

“So what do you guys wanna do today?” Matt asked.

“How about skateboarding?” Stephen suggested. The group agreed and went to the local skateboard park. “Don’t break the board!” Stephen said when Owe got onto the half-pipe with his board. Owe tripped and rolled down the half-pipe.

“This should be fun,” Matt said. He went into the half-pipe, but on the way back up launched into the air. He landed in a can of blue paint.

Nalyd and Tdifan accidentally went at the same time, crashed into each other, and were taken to the hospital.

Stephen was the only one to successfully do the half-pipe.

Sunshine went last and was launched in the air, similarly to Matt. However, the wind caught Sunshine’s wings and she floated down to the ground. “Holy ravioli, I can fly!” she exclaimed. Matt wandered back to her, dripping blue paint everywhere. “Matt! I have super powers!” she said shaking him. “I can fly!” She paused and saw the blue paint everywhere. “And you have powers too! You can turn stuff blue!”

“Awesome!” Matt said excitedly.

“We need a third member to this epic team,” Sunshine said eyeing the other. She saw Owe near an electrical socket.

“Go on, Owe,” Stephen said, “Just stick your finger in the wall!”

“But I’ll get electrocuted,” Owe protested.

“If you don’t do it,” Stephen said angrily, “I won’t show you my secret stash of donuts.” Owe sighed and stuck his finger in the electrical socket. Owe was immediately electrocuted and collapsed to the ground. Stephen walked away laughing.

“We found our third person!” Sunshine said trying to lift Owe. “Electric Man!”

“Now we just need an arch-enemy,” Matt said suspiciously.

Owe pointed to Stephen and Nalyd, who had just returned from the hospital with a broken arm. The two sat alone whispering. “How about them?” Owe asked. Nalyd and Stephen saw the group staring at them and left.

“They must be up to no good!” Sunshine declared. “Come Blue Guy and Electric Man, we must defeat Dr. Square and Stephen-stein!”

“Okay! And those are awesome names!” Matt said excitedly.

“Guys,” Owe said calmly, “Maybe Nalyd is just helping Stephen with homework or something.”

“Oh no, Blue Guy!” Sunshine said, “Electric Man is defecting from the good side!” Matt screamed and stuck Owe’s finger back into the electrical socket. Owe screamed and passed out as the electricity passed through his sphere of a body.

A few hours later, Sunshine, Matt, and Owe had gotten some old Halloween costumes to wear and were outside Nalyd’s house.

“It’s alive!” they heard Nalyd shout from his bedroom. Nalyd burst into laughter. Suddenly, the Ravioli Action Squad, what Sunshine had named their super hero team, heard a crash. “No, you stay away from me!” Nalyd shouted. “Get back!”

“Do you know what this means?” Sunshine asked the Action Squad.

“Not really,” Matt said sadly.

“Nalyd and Stephen must have brought a mummy to life and now it is attacking,” Sunshine explained.

“Or,” Owe said, “Nalyd made a sarcastic comment and ticked Stephen off.” Sunshine and Matt glared at Owe.

“Charge!” Sunshine shouted. Sunshine and Matt ran into Nalyd’s house and up into Nalyd’s room where they saw Nalyd on the ground and Stephen very angry. Stephen stormed out of the house without saying a word.

“Where am I?” Nalyd asked confused.

“Right now you are in your room,” Matt answered coldly. “But soon you will be downtown, Dr. Square.”

“What are you talking about?” Nalyd asked rubbing his head.

“You and Stephen have been secretly planning to take over the world!” Sunshine said.

“No, I’ve been tutoring him for school,” Nalyd explained, “But he was embarrassed and didn’t want you guys to know.”

“But what about a few minutes ago?” Matt asked.

“I said ‘It’s alive’ because I just brought a spider back to life, but Stephen squashed it and hit me in the forehead.”

Owe slowly peeked his head in the door, after crawling up the stairs. “I told you,” he wheezed, right before rolling back down to the first floor.

“Oh,” Sunshine said. “Sorry, Renny!”

“Yeah,” Matt said, “It could have been worse. We could have mistaken you for a vampire!”

“That would never happen,” Nalyd chuckled awkwardly as Matt and Sunshine left. Nalyd turned around and turned on his ultra violet light. Suddenly, Nalyd’s skin started to sparkle, as if covered in glitter. “They must never know,” Nalyd said defiantly.

Chapter 8: Farce Wars- Part 1
This chapter is brought to you by: Sunshineandravioli

It seemed to be just another ordinary day as first grader Nalyd Renrut entered his school. Of course, “ordinary” was never exactly the right way to describe Miss McClean’s first grade students. But, that’s beside the point.

“Attention, class,” Miss McClean, the shy, sweet first grade teacher, said meekly. In spite of her lack of presence, most of the class listened to whatever she said, partially out of pity for her. “Today, we will start preparation for our class play!”

The class erupted into cheers. The first grade play! Though it certainly wasn’t a Broadway show, it was a big deal at the school! The kids spent weeks preparing, and then had a big show, with all the parents and teachers and other attendants of the school coming to watch!

“Finally!” Nalyd cheered. “A chance for me to do something slightly normal!!!”

“A chance for me to be onstage!!!” Matt added, stars appearing in his eyes.

“A chance for me to draw on stuff and not get in trouble!!!” Sprinklemist commented happily, obviously imagining himself as a set designer.

“What play are we going to do???” Gigi asked excitedly.

“That’s what we’re going to decide!” Miss McClean explained, taking out a notepad. “We’ll take a few suggestions for plays, and then vote on which one we’re going to do. Now, any ideas?”

Nalyd sighed happily, thinking through all the plays they could do. Romeo and Juliet! Hamlet! He would even settle for The Lion King or something; it was finally something normal, he couldn’t complain!

“OOH! I KNOW!!!” Sunshine suddenly chirped before Nalyd could speak up. “STAR WARS!!!!!”

How ridiculous, Nalyd thought, laughing to himself. There’s no way-

“YEAH!!!” Matt excitedly agreed. “Star Wars! That would be so cool!!!”

“No, wait, I’ve got a better idea!!!” Tdifan interrupted. “A Star Wars PARODY!!!”

“YEAH!!!!” Sunshine and Matt agreed, nodding furiously.

“That would be awesome!!!” Stephen agreed.

“Cool,” Owe added, silencing the room for a second.

Pretty soon, the class was chanting “STAR WARS PARODY!!! STAR WARS PARODY!!! STAR WARS PARODY!!!”

Nalyd’s jaw dropped as all hopes of him doing something normal at his school disappeared.

“O-okay,” Miss McClean stammered, “I guess it’s unanimous! We’ll do a Star Wars Parody!” The class, minus Nalyd, cheered loudly with approval.

“I volunteer myself for set design!!!” Sprinklemist quickly declared.

“Alright,” Miss McClean allowed, taking a note of it.

“I can do lighting and technical stuff,” Greg offered, visions of gadgets and gizmos obviously appearing in his head.

“Good!” Miss McClean noted that in her notebook as well. “Now we just need someone to write the script.”

Everyone turned to Gigi.

“…what?” She asked, looking confused. “Why is everyone looking at me?”

“You have to do the script, Gigi!” Tdifan explained. “You’re the best writer in the class!!!”

“Yeah, Gigi,” Sprinklemist agreed, “if you write the script, our play is a garunteed hit!”

“PLEASE???” Sunshine begged, giving Gigi her best puppy-dog face.

“I dunno…” Gigi muttered. “I’m not really that good.”

“Aw, c’mon, Gigi!” Matt whined. “You’re better than some of the fifth graders!!!”

“Yeah, you’d be awesome as a scriptwriter!!!” Stephen agreed.

“Just give it a try.” Owe offered. The entire class grew silent as Owe spoke.

“Well, okay.” Gigi gave in, obviously entranced by Owe’s words. “I’ll do it!”

The class erupted with applause, and Tdifan gave Gigi a high-five.

“The Farce Wars is underway!!!” Sunshine cheered, randomly giving their production a name.

Nalyd just sat at his desk with a blank expression, jaw agape, wondering how his class had managed to make even a school play so insane.

“Is Nalyd okay?” Matt wondered aloud, staring at their one sane friend.

“I think he’s dead…” Tdifan commented as Sunshine poked his forehead continuously.

Stephen stomped on Nalyd’s foot, and he gave a loud yelp. “He’s alive.” Stephen assessed.

Owe sighed and shook his head.

That afternoon, Miss McClean’s first grade class had gathered in the school auditorium for. Gigi, Sprinklemist, and Miss McClean sat in the front row so they could assess the potential stars, while Greg took note of the lighting and other gizmos he would be using during the play. Nalyd, Sunshine, Tdifan, Stephen, Owe, Matt, Zak, and various other unnamed students waited backstage, ready to audition for the characters they wanted.

“Who are you gonna audition as, Renny?” Sunshine asked Nalyd as he looked over his audition lines. “Darth Vader? The Emperor?”

“C-3PO.” Nalyd growled, annoyed that she would instantly set him as one of the Sith. “I figure, even in a parody, he’ll still be one of the more sane characters.”

“You’re such a square, Nalyd.” Tdifan chuckled.

“Like you could be a better C-3PO.” Nalyd retorted.

“I might be,” Tdifan commented, “but that’s going to be up to Miss McClean to decide.”

Nalyd’s eyes widened. “You don’t mean…!”

“Yup! I’m auditioning as C-3PO too!” Tdifan laughed.

“You can’t be C-3PO!” Nalyd complained. “You’re a girl!”

“Acting skill transcends gender.” She retorted, sticking out her tongue at Nalyd.

“Yeah, Rennie.” Sunshine agreed. She then turned to Tdifan. “What does that mean?”

“And what, dare I ask, are you auditioning for, Sunshine?” Nalyd interrupted.

“R2D2!” Sunshine replied, beaming. “And I know I’m going to get the role! I can scream just like R2!!!” She took a deep breath in preparation to demonstrate.

“DON’T!!!” Everyone backstage screamed at once.

“I’m auditioning for Han Solo!” Matt commented, popping up out of nowhere holding Pig. “I figure they can use Pig for Chewbacca!”

Pig squealed in agreement.

“There’s no doubt I’ll get the part I audition for.” Stephen bragged, looking over his script. “I mean, can you imagine a better Darth Vader?”

“Nalyd!” Sunshine, Matt, and Tdifan all commented at once.

“Well, besides Nalyd.” Stephen corrected himself. Nalyd glared at them all.

“You’re auditioning, Zak?” Nalyd questioned Zak, who had been sitting nearby studying his script.

“Yeah. I’m going to audition for Luke Skywalker.” He replied. “I figured, I look the part, so why not?”

“Cool!” Sunshine commented. She then leapt onto Owe’s head. “How about you, Owe?”

“I’m auditioning for Chewbacca.” He replied. “He doesn’t really speak, so I decided I’d fit the role.”

“That’s great, Owe!!!” Matt grinned. “You’ll make a great backup for Pig!”

Owe sighed, but gave him a thumbs up.

“Would the first auditioner come onstage, please?” Miss McClean called from the audience. Nalyd began to stand up, but Sunshine suddenly rushed past him. Nalyd glared after her and waited for his turn.

“I’m auditioning for R2-D2!!!!!” Sunshine declared loudly as she bounded onto the stage.

“Um… okay…” Miss McClean stammered, obviously taken aback by her enthusiasm. “Please perform the audition script.”

“Alright,” Sunshine muttered to herself, clearing her throat. She held the script in front of her and read from it. “Bleep. Bloop. Beep bop bloop. Weep-whoot.” She then proceeded to give a loud, high-pitched R2-D2 scream, which shattered several windows in the building.

Sprinklemist stared blankly into space for a moment, then passed out from the migraine Sunshine’s scream had caused. Gigi, who was somewhat used to Sunshine, had put in earplugs the minute she had stepped onstage.

“So,” Sunshine asked, grinning widely, “did I get the part???”

“…We’ll, uh, get back to you….” Miss McClean stammered, rubbing her ears. Sunshine skipped offstage, grinning like the idiot she was. “Next, please?” Owe stepped onstage and gave the judges a wave. “Owe, it says here you’re auditioning for Chewbacca?” Owe nodded. “Well, then, take it away!”

“Raaaarrrrggg.” Owe growled. There was a long pause.

“Is he going to keep going?” Sprinklemist whispered to Gigi.

“He, uh, finished the audition script.” Gigi whispered back.

“Um, very good job, Owe!” Miss McClean complimented him. “You can go back offstage now.” Owe nodded and complied, motioning to the others backstage to tell them someone else could go on. Nalyd began to dash onstage, but Tdifan tripped him and stepped onstage. Sunshine then dragged a groaning Nalyd backstage once more.

“Hi, guys!” Tdifan greeted the judges. “I’m auditioning for C-3PO!”

“I will win!!!” Nalyd shouted from offstage.

“Go ahead and perform, Tdifan.” Miss McClean encouraged her. Tdifan then proceeded to saunter across the stage like a robot, accompanied by robotic whirrs and beeps, and various nervous comments. “Great job, you can go back!” Miss McClean complimented her. She walked offstage proudly, giving Nalyd a competitive smirk. Nalyd glared back at her, and Stephen strutted onstage.

“LUKE,” he growled before anyone could say anything to him, “I AM YOUR FATHER.” Gigi and Sprinklemist quickly ducked behind the chairs in fear.

“W-wow,” Miss McClean stammered, “you’re obviously very… dedicated to your role! You can go backstage now.” Stephen grinned and walked offstage. “Next, please!” Matt walked onstage with pig, grinning widely. “Matt, you’re auditioning for Han Solo, right?”

“Yup!” Matt nodded. “And Pig is gonna be Chewbacca!” Pig squealed.

“Um… okay…” Miss McClean commented. “Go ahead and perform the script.”

Matt blinked. “Dang. I knew I forgot something.” He muttered to himself. He stared fearfully at the three judges awaiting his performance. Suddenly, he turned and pointed to Pig.

“I’ll never join you, Pig!!!” He shouted, improvising. “You killed my father!!!” Pig grunted back in a pig-voice that sounded strangely similar to Darth Vader’s. Matt’s eyes grew wide and he dropped to his knees, screaming “NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!”

Miss McClean, Gigi, and Sprinklemist all stood and began applauding.

“That was great!!!” Sprinklemist commended Matt.

“Yeah!!! It wasn’t Han Solo, but it was great!!!” Gigi commented.

“Excellent!” Miss McClean agreed. “You can go backstage now.” Matt grinned, not quite knowing what he had did but happy it had worked out, and walked offstage. “Next, please!”

Zak stepped onstage. “I’m auditioning for Luke.” He stated.

“Alright,” Miss McClean replied. “Go ahead and perform the script.”

“I’LL NEVER JOIN YOU!!!” Zak shouted at an imaginary Darth Vader. “YOU KILLED MY FATHER!!!!!!!” He then turned back to Miss McClean and the other judges. “How was that?”

“I don’t remember Luke sounding so angry,” Sprinklemist whispered to Gigi. She elbowed him in the ribs in response.

“That was, um, very good, Zak!” Miss McClean chirped. “You can go backstage now.” Zak complied, and Nalyd finally tore onstage.

“I’m auditioning for C-3PO!” He announced, obviously fed up with having to wait this long.

“Er… o-okay Nalyd…” Miss McClean stammered. “Go ahead.”

Nalyd proudly gave his script a glance, then tossed it aside to perform. “LUKE,” He growled in a deep, intimidating voice, “I AM YOUR FATHER. JOIN ME, AND WE CAN RULE THE GALAXY AS FATHER AND SON.” Suddenly, Nalyd stopped, grabbed his script again, and looked it over. “I grabbed the wrong script!!!!” He realized. Muttering to himself, he stormed offstage.

“Um… okay…” Miss McClean commented as Nalyd left. “That’s all we have time for today, kids. Those of you who didn’t audition today, please come tomorrow! The final cast will be up in a few days!”

As the kids walked out of the auditorium, Tdifan gave Nalyd a superior smirk. “Oh, shut up!” Nalyd snapped, storming past her and out of the auditorium.

“GUYS, GUYS, GUYS!!!!!!!” Sunshine shouted, charging her group as they approached the first grade class. Owe jumped out of the way, falling flat on his face. This allowed Sunshine to smack into Nalyd, who went careening into Stephen, who fell on Tdifan. Matt, standing next to Tdifan, just watched as the chaos barely missed him.

“Geez, Sunshine, what was that for?!” Stephen complained, struggling to get up.

“I can’t breathe!!!” Tdifan’s muffled cry came from underneath the pile of first graders.

“COME ON GUYS, GET UP!!!!” Sunshine screamed, completely ignoring the chaos she had caused. “THE FINAL CAST FOR THE PLAY GOT PUT UP!!! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO COME BEFORE I LOOKED AT IT AND I CAN’T TAKE THE SUSPENSE!!!”

“What?! The final cast?!” Nalyd repeated, somehow pulling himself up. The three first graders quickly got up, helped Owe stand up again, and then dashed into the classroom towards a huddled mass around the bulletin board.

“Today, Nalyd, we will finally see who has the greater acting skill!” Tdifan challenged.

“Yeah! Me!” Nalyd laughed, pushing his way through the crowd. “And C-3PO is…” His eyes widened as he read the actor’s name. “Tdifan?!” Tdifan cheered, and Sunshine gave her a high-five. “Then what part did I get???” Nalyd quickly scanned the list of names, then looked disappointed as he found his own. “Oh… of course. Darth Vader.”

“We told you you’d be a natural!” Matt laughed, giving Nalyd a pat on the back.

“No way!!!” Stephen snapped. “You can’t be Darth Vader! I was gonna be Darth Vader!!!”

“Sorry, dude.” Nalyd shrugged. “Maybe you got the part of the Emperor or something.”

“No,” Zak, who was sitting nearby, sighed. “I got the part of the Emperor. I guess I pushed the whole ‘anger’ thing too much during my audition…”

“So that means I’m…” Stephen glanced over the cast list, and his jaw dropped as he found his name. “Han Solo?!”

“Awesome!” Matt congratulated him. His smile disappeared after a second. “Wait… that means I didn’t get the part.” Matt shoved his way to the front to search for his name, and his face lit up. “WOAH!!! I’m Luke Skywalker!!! Me!!! Luke!!!” He glanced at the sheet again, and his grin grew even wider. “And Pig is going to be R2-D2!!!”

“So who am I?” Sunshine asked, confused. Matt allowed her to come forward and look at the cast list. “Huh, it says here I’m Princess Leia. Who’s that?”

“That’s the female lead!!!” Nalyd said incredulously. “How did SHE get the female lead?! She’s nuts!!!”

“I got Chewbacca!” Owe said excitedly. Everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing to give Owe words of congratulations.

Amid the celebrations, Gigi stepped up to Miss McClean’s desk. “Miss McClean?” She asked.

“Yes?” Miss McClean replied, looking up from her gradebook.

“I just wanted to ask you something about the play.” Gigi explained.

“Go ahead,” Miss McClean allowed.

Gigi grinned shyly yet deviously. “It’s just that… we don’t have an Obi-Wan…”

Chapter 9: Farce Wars – Part 2
This chapter was brought to you by: Nalyd Renrut

“What do you mean we don’t have an Obi-Wan?” Ms. McLean asked Gigi. Gigi had just informed Ms. McLean of the unfortunate news.

“What are we going to do?” Gig asked. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman burst through the auditorium doors.

“Where is my grandson?” he asked angrily. “Where is little Owe?”

“Grandpa?” Owe said looking out into the auditorium. “It’s you, Grandpa Omar!” Owe ran up and hugged the old man.

“Wow, you’ve gotten fat,” Owe’s grandpa commented.

“Sir?” Ms. McLean said shyly. “Can I… help you?”

“You want me to play Obi-Wan Kenobi in the play tonight?” Owe’s grandpa asked surprised. “I’d love to.”

“Oh… okay…” Ms. McLean said more confused than ever.

An hour later, all the actors were back stage and getting ready to go on.

“Break a leg, Tdifan,” Nalyd said.

“Thanks, Renny! You too!” Tdifan chirped in her bad British accent.

“No, really, I hope you break your leg,” Nalyd said. Tdifan put on C-3PO’s metal leg and kicked Nalyd in the shin. “I deserved that,” Nalyd said, fighting back tears.

“Thank you all for coming,” Ms. McLean said to the parents watching. Ms. McLean was sweating, breathing heavily, and looked as pale as ever. She had stage fright. “Tonight you will be seeing………. Star…..” She then passed out and Gigi and Sprinklemist dragged her off the stage.

The Star Wars theme was heard in the background as the curtain rose. The scene was set; Nalyd stood in his Darth Vader outfit with Sunshine dressed as Leia (with real cinnamon buns attached to her head) surrounded by unnamed and just rather unimportant students surrounding her.

“Well, well, well,” Nalyd said. The Darth Vader voice changer had malfunctioned and he sounded like Alvin the Chipmunk. “So we have captured Princess Leia. And now you will see you planet be destroyed.”

A smile came across Sunshine’s face. She barely resisted laughing at Nalyd’s ridiculous voice.

“Say your lines,” Nalyd whispered.

“You wouldn’t dare,” Sunshine said, trying to hold back laughter.

“Obi-Wan is here to save the day!” Owe’s grandpa shouted as he ran onto the stage wielding a lightsaber. He began hitting Nalyd in the chest and back with it.

“Ow! Stop it!” Nalyd shouted.

“Wait a minute,” Zak said as he reviewed the script, off-stage, “The Emperor isn’t in this play at all!”

“I sort of forgot he was a character, sorry,” Gigi said.

“Oh dear,” Ms. McLean whispered as she watched Nalyd get the snot beaten out of him by an old man. “Owe? Can’t you do anything?”

“Too tired,” Owe panted, “Just ate… everything… on the snack buffet. I think I’m going to be sick.” He burped.

Owe’s grandpa stopped hitting Nalyd, who was now lying on the stage. “Where am I?” he asked.

“What do we do?” Sprinklemist asked worriedly.

“Improvisation!” Matt said excitedly. “The show must go on!” Matt ran onto the stage in his Luke Skywalker costume and hit Nalyd in the back of the head with his blue lightsaber, knocking Nalyd out. “Oops,” Matt said.

Ms. McLean slapped her forehead. “We’re doomed,” she said sadly.

“I can go save the show!” Tdifan said happily.

“Fine, this can’t get any worse,” Ms. McLean said.

Tdifan hobbled onto the stage. She was horrified as Owe’s grandpa slowly approached her. “Oh my gosh!” Owe’s grandpa shouted, “It’s Forrest Gump!”

“What are you talking about?” Tdifan asked in her C-3PO voice. “I am C-3PO. Human-cyborg relations.”

“Back in my day we did not talk back to our elders!” Owe’s grandpa shouted. He took off Tdifan’s mask, grabbed her by the ear, and dragged her off the stage.

“Let go of me you weird old man!” Tdifan screamed.

Nalyd woke up. “Where am I?” Nalyd asked.

“You’re performing in the school play,” Sunshine explained.

“And you aren’t doing to good,” Matt said.

A flash from the audience stunned Sunshine, Matt, and Nalyd. It came form a camera. “That’s my baby up there!” Nalyd’s mother shouted. “The pale goth one! That’s him! I am his mother!” She turned to the man sitting next to her. “Oh he was such a cute baby. I think I have some baby pictures in my purse here, somewhere.”

“Mom!” Nalyd shouted. His face turned red.

“Wow, Nalyd,” Sunshine said, “There’s color on your face!”

“I think that’s just off-white,” Matt suggested.

“Kids!” Ms. McLean hissed. “Please focus!”

“That’s it,” Stephen said as he put on the Han Solo wig. “I’m not letting Renrut and his happy band of dorks ruin the play. Come on, Owe.” Stephen grabbed Owe by the wrist and dragged him onto the stage.

“I don’t feel good Stephen,” Owe said. Owe followed however.

“Die!” Stephen shouted, shooting Nalyd with his water pistol.

“My eye!” Nalyd shouted. “That’s not water!”

“You’re right,” Stephen laughed. “It’s lemon juice.”

“This is terrible!” shouted a man in the audience. He threw tomatoes at the kids, but they hid behind Owe who ate them.

“Two lines,” Ms. McLean said sadly. “We got two line sin before all heck broke loose.”

“Uh-oh,” Owe said. His stomach shook and he let out a huge burp.

The whole room went silent.

“That was the best Chewbacca roar ever!” the man from before shouted. The whole audience erupted in applause.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” Zak said, as he put his head in his hands.

The next day, Nalyd woke up in his room with all his friends staring at him. “Oh no,” Nalyd said, “I’m having that nightmare where I move to America and hung out with a group of complete twits and… Oh no. I’m awake!”

“Nalyd’s talking crazy!” Tdifan said happily. “He finally snapped!” She laughed evilly.

“Nalyd, look at the newspaper,” Matt said, handing Nalyd a paper. “We made the front page!”

Nalyd read the review of the play. “Well, the play last night at Wawanakwa Elementary last night was terrible. They had a fat old man playing Obi-Wan Kenobi. He kept beating up first grader, Nalyd Renrut. I feel bad for Nalyd Renrut though. If I was a girl, I’d hate to play Darth Vad- They think I’m a girl!”

“Just keep reading you big cry baby,” Stephen said.

“Zak Koroen was quite impressive,” Nalyd read. “Because he never came onto the stage I can’t think of any criticism. Sunshine Pasti and Matt Tollin came off as unrehearsed and unprepared. Stephen attacked that poor little girl, Nalyd Renrut, with lemon juice.”

“Maybe he would think you were a boy if you got a hair cut,” Sunshine suggested.

“You know I thought he was a girl first time I saw him,” Matt said.

“Same here!” Tdifan agreed.

“Be quiet!” Nalyd shouted. He continued reading. “The only good part of the play was Owe’s fabulous portrayal of Chewbacca. Never before have I seen such a great actor in a minor role. Better luck casting next time, Ms. McLean.”

“Congrats, Owe!” Sunshine said happily. Owe burped.

“You gotta be kidding me,” Nalyd said. He hid his head under his blanket and waited for everyone to forget the horrible night that was the first school play.

Chapter 10: It’s About Time!
This chapter was brought to you by: Nalyd Renrut

“Ms. McLean!” Nalyd shouted. “Sunshine and Matt just built a roller coaster on the playground!”

“Nalyd,” Ms. McLean said calmly, “This isn’t like the time Sunshine and Matt ‘built a rocket ship,’ or a ‘race car track’, or ‘became one hit wonders,’ is it?”

“I’m telling you Ms. McLean!” Nalyd said sadly. “They’re evil! E-V-I-L! I don’t know how they always clean it up so fast!” It was a mid-November day, and, other than Nalyd’s claims, it was a normal day in Wawanakwa Elementary. “They are always doing things like this!”

“Fine,” Ms. McLean said. She stood up and followed Nalyd outside. When they got out to the playground, all the kids were on the slide.

“Ms. McLean! We built a roller coaster!” Sunshine said.

“Looks great,” Ms. McLean smiled, thinking Sunshine meant the slide.

Nalyd stared in awe. “Bu- bu- bu- bu…”

“I’m writing a note for your mother to get you glasses, Nalyd,” Ms. McLean sighed.

The next day, Nalyd watched Sunshine and Matt as soon as recess started. “Hey, Sunshine!” Tdifan said as she skipped over to Sunshine and Matt. “Whatcha doin’?”

“We’re building a time machine,” Matt said.

“I’d like to see that work,” Stephen smirked.

“As would I,” Owe said happily.

“I was being sarcastic, dork,” Stephen said.

“I’ve got them this time,” Nalyd whispered to himself.

“Hey, where’s Pig?” Sunshine asked.

“I left him at home,” Matt said.

Alas, Pig was not in Matt’s house. The lifeless body had been struck by lightning, and some how came back to like. Pig crawled outside, and into a small hold under Matt’s front porch. Pig slide down a chute that went far into the earth. When the chute ended, Pig was in a laboratory. A man appeared on a screen. “Ah, good morning Agent P,” he said. He was an old man with a white mustache, one eyebrow, and a huge nose. “Your arch enemy, the evil Dr. Ztrimhcsnefood, is up to his old tricks. We need you to find out what’s he doing, and put a stop to it!” Pig oinked and hurried into another chute that launched him out. The man in the screen turned. “Hey, Carl, how do you pronounce ‘Ztrimhcsnefood’ anyway?”

“I have no idea, sir,” a teenager said off-screen.

Before long, Sunshine and Matt had created a time machine and a line was forming to use it. “Nalyd, you wanna get in line?” Sunshine asked.

“No!” Nalyd shouted. “You two are going down! D-O-W-N! Down!”

“Your loss,” Sunshine shrugged. “Plug it in, Matt!”

Matt ran a giant electric cord into the classroom and plugged it in. “Matt, whatcha doin’?” Ms. McLean asked.

“Sunshine and I built a time machine!” Matt said.

“Sounds nice,” Ms. McLean said. “You kids and your imagination.”

The portal lit up and the ground started to shake. “I’ve got them now,” Nalyd whispered as he pulled a camera out of his pocket.

“So, Pig the Pig,” Dr. Ztrimhcsnefood said when Pig had gotten into Ztrimhcsnefood’s Evil Incorporated. Dr. Ztrimhcsnefood pressed a button on the wall and a cage fell from the ceiling and captured pig. “I repeat; So, Pig the Pig, you have found my secret layer! What do you think? I like this one a lot better than the other one. The real estate agent said that this one was in a much better neighborhood… but, anyway, I hate when I’m always tripping over extension cords! Walking through my lab, I trip on power cords! Walking through the hardware store, I trip on power cords! Walking through the woods… Well, I trip on roots and stuff there. So I will remove all the power cords from the entire tri-state area! My psychiatrist told me that I should try for higher goals like world domination, but really I just want the tri-state area. What would I do with the whole world? Where would I put my stuff?”

“Oink,” Pig oinked. He used his magic tail of epic pwnage to break through the cage.

“How is that even possible?” Dr. Ztrimhcsnefood asked. The next thing he knew, he was tackled by Pig! Dr. Ztrimhcsnefood stumbled backwards into his machine. “You are too late!”

The machine turned blue and within seconds power cords were being pulled onto it.

The power cord in the classroom started to shake, and was pulled out of the socket. It flew up into the air, and pulled the time machine with it.

FLASH!

Nalyd took the picture and ran inside. “Ms. McLean! Ms. McLean! Look at this!” Nalyd held up the camera proudly. Ms. McLean looked at the picture on the camera screen and saw a picture of the playground, lacking a time machine.

“Very nice, Nalyd!” she said happily. “Great picture of everyone on the playground!” Nalyd looked at the camera and screamed.

Outside, Pig had joined everyone. “There you are pig!” Matt said as he held pig up.

“Whatcha doin’ tomorrow?” Tdifan asked.

“The same thing we do everyday, Tdifan,” Sunshine said. “Try to bother Nalyd!”

“They’re Sunshine! They’re Sunshine and the Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt!” the students sang.

“If you say so,” Matt said, sounding scared.

Chapter 11: The Boy with the Red Hair.
This chapter is bought to you by: Ezekielguy

Nalyd Renrut was very used to his new life. He was beggining to even like his friends a little. A little. He almost grew fond of the smell or ravioli in the morning and the sweet sounds of guitar tunes.

Almost. But he never liked people with red hair. He didn't know why. It was just creepy. He knew Stephen had red hair, but that was different since he had a mowhawk. He had no idea what he would do if a flakey red-head guitar playing skater dude joined his group. Huh? Whaddya mean I'm ruining the story for you? Aw, Shut up!

Anyway, the first thing that happened that bright Saturday morning was clearly bizzare in every way.

Stephen screamed through his mega-phone. "Kids 'O Wikia Elementary! Let's go! Let's go!"

Out the marched in they're pajamas one by one. Sunshine, Matt, Owe, Tdifan and Nalyd. They were ready for they're club meeting.

"Today," said Club President Stephen "My Dad made us a new club house!" He pointed to the big wooden shack built on a tree.

"I dunno, Steph..." Said Matt, looking at the big hunk of wood from each angle. He measured each corner with a ruler. "It looks pretty lame for cool cats like us..."

The others agreed.

"How square." said Sunshine, nodding her head.

"Wrecked." said Nalyd. "Too messy."

"It's too small." said Owe quietly thus causing all to stand still.

"Oink." said Pig wisely. Everyone nodded.

They knew Pig had such a way with words.

While all was quite, voices were heard coming down from above.

"No way, Muds!" said a low, tough-sounding voice. "Just no, you little..."

"Uh... Oh.... Heh heh..." said a high, chirpy british accent. "Oh, you're so stupid!" said a deep, harty Australian accent.

"No! No fight! No!" said what sounded like a young girl's voice.

"Argh!" said the low tough voice. "That's it, Muds! You're going down." And a huge luxirious winneabaego landed straight on top of the tree house.

A green man in a grey sweat shirt fell out and screeched.

"Oh," Matt said awkwardly, "Guess that ends with session. Right, cats?"

Pig squealed. Everyone nodded.

But then, Matt noticed something! "Look" He squealed "Out on the horizion!"

The other children looked around and they saw it. It was the bullies of Wikia Elementary School! Salami, Beef, and Cheese!

Now, Cheese was a skinny tall boy.

Beef was a buff, strong boy.

And Salami was short and thick. He was the leader.

“Hey!” Salami demanded “Get that pig! I want him! I want that PIG!”

”W-W-Why, of course, boss!” squealed Cheese.

“Y-y-yeah!” said Beef. He wasn't too bright.

“Now SEAZE him!” screamed Salami. “SEAZE the pig! Get him for me!”

Matt jumped in front of his pet. “No! I won't let you take him!” He shouted.

Nalyd and Sunshine jumped to help, followed by Owe, Stephen and Tdifan. It wasn't worth it. Beef and Cheese were ganging up on them. Then, the gang spotted a shadow in the distance. It jumped, ran, and galloped over to them.

Then they heard a sound. “Hey! Bite me!”

Then they saw him.

Sunshine saw him.

Matt saw him.

Tdifan saw him.

Owe saw him.

Stephen saw him.

Pig didn't see him.

Nalyd saw him though! He couldn't believe it! It was a kid with red hair! He shivered. 'He's gonna kill us!' He thought.

But the kid didn't kill anyone.

He went up to Matt. “Listen! I'm a stranger, but I'm a nice one! Give me what ever is in you're pockets! I'lll give it back! I promise!”

Matt was very confused, but he did as he was told. He dug through his pockets and found a potato gun, loaded.

“Perfect!” said the red head kid.

He grabbed the potato gun. “Hey!” he said. He shot off one of the potatoes. He knew the guys hated potatoes.

Nalyd was beginning to like the red head a little.

Beef squealed as a potato split on his head.

Cheese laughed until one landed on him.

The two boys ran away crying.

The gang thanked the boy and became good friends with him.

They learned his name, Jack.

“So...” He asked, “Why did they want Pig?”

“You know,” Replied Nalyd, who never really liked Pig that much. “I really don't know.”

Chapter 12: A Love Letter for Sunshine
This chapter is bought to you by: Nalyd Renrut

“Holy ravioli!” Sunshine exclaimed when she entered Ms. McLean’s first grade class in Wawanakwa Elementary. She saw a big pink note on her desk. “My dearest Sunshine,” she read aloud. Matt, Owe, Stephen, and Tdifan surrounded her as she read. “I can no longer live without you. Since the day I met you I have barely been resisting telling you. I can not tell you who I am, but I am one of your friends. Love, Anonymous.”

“Ew!” Tdifan said. “Sunshine, guys have cooties!”

“They do?” Sunshine asked.

“At least these ones do,” Tdifan said. Sunshine and Tdifan looked up and saw Stephen giving Matt a noogie, and Owe eating a burger.

“But one of them L-U-Vs me!” Sunshine protested.

“You gotta figure out who it is,” Tdifan advised.

“Ms. McLean, I have to go find out who likes me,” Sunshine said as she left class.

“But Sunshine,” Ms. McLean protested, “You hardly gave the writers enough time to set the scene! They don’t know what day it is, when it is, where Nalyd is, or anything about this so far!”

“I think after twelve chapters people are tired of reading all that,” Sunshine said, then ran down the hallway.

After school, Sunshine went to Stephen’s house. She entered the house without knocking. She saw Stephen sitting on his couch watching Total Drama Island. “Turn it off!” Sunshine shouted.

Stephen glared at her. “One, why are you here? Two, why turn it off?”

“To see if you love me, and this is the episode where Dunky gets eliminated.”

Stephen’s eyes widened, then he remember the note. “No,” he said angrily. “I don’t love you. Go check with Fatt or Ren-rat.” Sunshine looked at him blankly. “Curly and Square.” Sunshine still didn’t understand. “Matt and Nalyd.”

“Oh!” Sunshine said happily. “Okay! Bye!” She turned to leave, then turned around and said slyly, “Tell your brother I said ‘Hi.’”

Sunshine soon arrived at Nalyd’s house. He wasn’t in school that day because of a cold. Nalyd’s mother let Sunshine in. “Sunshine, Nalyd has a cold, and he took too much medication, so he’s a little woozy,” Nalyd’s mother told Sunshine. Sunshine sat next to Nalyd on his couch, and barely resisted laughing at his bunny pajamas.

“Hey, Renny,” she sighed.

“Wazzup!” Nalyd shouted.

“I got a love letter today and I’m trying to figure out who wrote it,” Sunshine said.

“Oh, Matt wrote it,” Nalyd said. He then laughed at the television.

“Matt?” Sunshine asked surprised.

“Yeah,” Nalyd laughed, “The guy is nuts about you. He’s liked you for… about the last six years.”

“Six years?” Sunshine shouted. “That’s like… Six years!

“Yeah,” Nalyd sighed, and then he passed out. Sunshine realized visiting the other guys’ houses wouldn’t do any good.

The next day, she went back to Nalyd’s house after school. Nalyd was no longer sick. “Nalyd,” Sunshine said shyly. “I know who Matt likes.”

Nalyd gasped. “Who told you? I bet it was Tdifan!”

“No,” Sunshine said. “You told me. You said he liked-”

“I did?” Nalyd asked surprised.

“Yes,” Sunshine said.

“He didn’t want you to know.”

“I figured. What should I do?”

“Talk to him. That’s the only way to get through this.”

“Thanks, Renny.” Sunshine hugged Nalyd and left. She said to herself as she went to talk to Matt, “I’m just worried I feel the same way.”

To be continued…

Right now…

Matt’s phone rang. “Ello! You’ve reached Matt! Leave a message after… the… noise! What’s it’s called…” Matt answered.

“Matt,” Nalyd said on the other end. “I don’t have much time. Sunshine is coming to your house. She knows who you like!”

“Who told her?” Matt gasped.

“I think it was Tdifan,” Nalyd said. Nalyd heard Matt’s doorbell ring. “Via con dios.”

“You too,” Matt said, unsure of what Nalyd said. Matt jumped onto his couch and turned on the television.

Sunshine entered Matt’s house. He was on his couch watching a commercial for Pigs Is We. “Matt,” Sunshine said, “can we talk for a second?”

“Sure,” Matt said awkwardly. He and Sunshine went and sat on Matt’s front porch. “How’s it going?”

“Matt,” Sunshine said, “I know you like me.”

“You know what?” Matt asked confused.

“Nalyd told me you wrote that love note,” Sunshine said. “And how you’ve liked me for six years.”

“I didn’t write that,” Matt said. “I like Gwen! I’ve liked Gwen for six years.”

“Gwen?” Sunshine asked.

“Gwen from Total Drama Island!”

Sunshine smiled. “That’s a relief!”

Matt stood up. “I gotta get in for dinner. Later, Sunshine!”

“Night, Matt,” Sunshine smiled. “Wait, who wrote the note?”

“Renny told me not to tell you,” Matt shrugged, and then ran inside.

“Oh, okay,” Sunshine said. She started walking home. “Wait a minute,” she sad to herself. “Could that mean that Renny wrote the note?”

~End of Chapter 12

Chapter 13: Kid Country
This chapter was brought to you by: Nalyd Renrut

“I can’t believe I ever signed up for this show,” Nalyd said angrily. Sunshine, Matt, Nalyd, Tdifan, Owe, Stephen, Greg, Zak, Gigi, and Sprinklemist sat on Nalyd’s couch.

“Just turn on the TV, Renrut!” Stephen growled.

“Okay,” Nalyd said. Nalyd clicked the remote and the TV came on.

A muscular man stood on a dock. Behind him seemed to be a very poorly built campsite with two cabins. “Welcome to Kid Country,” the man said in a deep voice. “I’m your host, Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is a new reality show brought to you by the Fox network. ‘Fox – When all the other channels have nothing good on!’ Ten children have been forced from their homes and have to live here, in Camp Crud. Here come our ten castmates now.” One by one, Sunshine, Matt, Nalyd, Tdifan, Owe, Stephen, Greg, Zak, Gigi, and Sprinklemist walked off a boat and onto the dock. “Welcome to Camp Crud,” Arnold Schwarzenegger said.

“You can say that again,” Stephen smirked.

“Welcome to Camp Crud,” Arnold Schwarzenegger said. “First order of business, we will be dividing you into two teams. The Screaming Moles will be Sunshine, Matt, Nalyd, Owe, and Stephen. The Killer Dolphins will be Tdifan, Greg, Zak, Gigi, and Sprinklemist. Any questions?”

“Can I switch teams?” Nalyd asked.

“Where’s the bathroom?” Owe asked.

“I’ma firin’ mah lazar!” Sunshine shouted.

“Can I switch teams?” Nalyd asked.

“Can I go home?” Zak asked.

“I’m hungry,” Matt said.

“I left my sketchbook at home, can I go get it?” Sprinklemist asked.

“Excellent, no questions!” Arnold said happily. “Now go to your cabins and get comfortable. Don’t worry, the cabins are split with a side for girls and side for guys.”

“There’s only three girls, how is that fair?” Gigi asked.

“We found more interesting guys than we found interesting girls,” Arnold said. “In one hour, I’ll announce the first challenge.”

“I knew that the winner of a reality show always has a good alliance,” Nalyd said in the confessional stall. “This means that I need to find somebody desperate or dumb enough to do whatever I say.”

Nalyd observed the other Screaming Moles. “Stephen is too smart,” Nalyd said to himself. “And Owe is too loyal to Stephen. That leaves…” Nalyd watched as Sunshine and Matt climbed onto the roof of the cabin. “Perfect.” Nalyd followed Sunshine and Matt onto the top of the cabin. “Sunshine, Matt. I think the three of us should be in an alliance in case we lose.”

“Will you buy me a pony after the show?” Sunshine asked.

“Yes,” Nalyd said.

“Okay, then!” Sunshine smiled.

Matt rolled off the roof and landed on his head. “I’ll join too!” he laughed.

“Come on, Renny!” Sunshine said. She grabbed Nalyd’s sleeve and pushed him off the roof.

“This cabin is awesome,” Tdifan said, knocking on the wooden walls of the Killer Dolphins cabin.

“It’s terrible,” Greg said. “Poorly constructed, covered in mold, I’m waiting for it to collapse on me in my sleep.”

“Tell us how you really feel,” Zak said gloomily.

“Challenge time,” Arnold said, via the overhead speakers in each cabin. “Everybody get in your bathing suits and report to the cliff.” The kids changed into their bathing suits and joined Arnold on top of the cliff. “Today you will be jumping off this cliff.” Arnold was silent.

“Is that it?” Greg asked.

“Pretty much,” Arnold shrugged. “Screaming Moles, you’re up.”

“Who wants to go first?” Nalyd asked. Stephen pushed Matt over the edge of the cliff, and then jumped himself.

“Come on, Renny, you only live once!” Sunshine said, and then jumped off the cliff herself.

“And I don’t want to die today!” Nalyd shouted. Nalyd looked at Owe. “Age before beauty,” Nalyd said.

“I don’t get it,” Owe said.

“Just go,” Nalyd said.

“Here I go,” Owe said. He stepped back for a running start, and charged at the cliff. Owe jumped and went the 5000 meters into the water below.

“Wow,” Stephen said, “I was expecting a huge wave but, nope, he belly flopped.”

“So much pain,” Owe said in the confessional.

“That was so fun!” Sunshine said in the confessional.

“Are you going, little man?” Arnold asked Nalyd.

“No,” Nalyd said. He turned to walk down the cliff, but tripped on a root and ended up jumping backwards off the cliff. “Well this stinks,” Nalyd said as he fell down the cliff. A shark jumped up and ate Nalyd.

“Oh my gosh!” Matt shouted. “They killed Nalyd!”

“Those jerks,” Owe whispered.

The shark spit Nalyd out. “Ew, British food!” the shark screamed, and then swam away. Everyone looked shocked.

“We have rare boy-eating, English-speaking sharks here,” Arnold said. “Killer Dolphins, time to take the dive.”

“I’ll do it,” Zak said. “As if this couldn’t get any worse, maybe I’ll get to go home if I die.” Zak slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and jumped. Zak landed safely and got to the shore. Tdifan and Sprinklemist jumped next without problems.

“Let’s go, dude,” Gigi said to Greg.

“Don’t count on it,” Greg said. “I don’t wanna die.”

“Don’t you wanna feel like you’re flying?” Gigi asked. Her eyes grew large.

“No.”

Gigi shrugged and jumped off the cliff.

“Last chance, Greg,” Arnold Schwarzenegger said. Greg didn’t move. “The Screaming Moles win immunity!” The Screaming Moles cheered. “Killer Dolphins, come to the campfire tonight and vote off one of your members.”

That night, Arnold met the Killer Dolphins at the campfire ceremony. He held four marshmallows. “You have cast your votes and made your decision. When you receive a marshmallow, you are safe. If you don’t get a marshmallow, you must leave on the boat of losers. First marshmallow goes to Gigi.” Arnold threw Gigi a marshmallow. “Next one goes to Tdifan. Next is Sprinklemist.” Arnold tossed Tdifan and Sprinklemist their marshmallows. “Zak and Greg, this is the final marshmallow. And it goes to…. Zak.” Zak grabbed the marshmallow from Arnold.

“What?” Greg asked standing up. “Why me?”

“You weren’t very nice today,” Sprinklemist explained.

“Greg, the boat is here,” Arnold said. “Hasta la vista, Greggy.”

“Awesome episode!” Sunshine laughed.

“Sorry we voted you off, Greg,” Gigi said.

“That’s so helpful now,” Greg said sarcastically.

The next week, Sunshine, Matt, Nalyd, Tdifan, Owe, Stephen, Greg, Zak, Gigi, and Sprinklemist sat on Sunshine’s couch to watch Kid Country.

“Last time on Kid Country,” Arnold Schwarzenegger said as he stood on the dock. “The teams were formed and faced their first challenge; a cliff dive! The Screaming Moles won, and the Killer Dolphins voted off Greg.”

The next morning, everyone woke up and ate breakfast in the mess hall. Nalyd walked in wrapped in a blanket and an angry look on his face. “Where’s my hoodie?” he asked. Stephen started laughing, and pointed to the kitchen. Nalyd walked towards it, but Stephen tripped him. Nalyd dropped his blanket, exposing his pale torso to everyone.

“My eyes!” Sunshine screamed.

“What?” Nalyd asked. “Guys don’t have shirts on all the times.”

“You’re a guy?” Stephen laughed.

“Nalyd, the problem is, no regular guy is as white as you, that’s why everyone just lost their appetite,” Tdifan explained.

“Should we censor out his pale chest?” a cameraman asked another cameraman.

Nalyd angrily walked into the kitchen to retrieve his hoodie. Nalyd screamed in horror then ran back out. “It’s pink!” Nalyd shouted.

“It suits you better,” Stephen laughed. Nalyd put the hoodie on, ignoring Stephen.

“I can see again!” Sunshine said. She started laughing at Nalyd’s hoodie.

“I have a huge crush on the show,” Sprinklemist said in the confessional. “I’m going to ask her out tonight!”

Arnold Schwarzenegger walked into the mess hall. “Today both teams will be putting on a talent show that I will judge; you have one hour to pick your three performers.”

“Guys!” Matt said to the Screaming Moles. “Watch this!” He started dancing.

“Next,” Stephen said.

“I can do this,” Sunshine said. She then exploded into glitter.

“Oh my gosh,” Nalyd said. “They exploded Sunshine!”

“Who are they?” Stephen asked.

“She didn’t do that on her own,” Nalyd said. They looked over and saw Matt throwing glitter, and Sunshine hiding in Nalyd’s pink hood.

“Next,” Stephen said.

“I can eat three times my own weight,” Owe said. Owe proceeded to eat three times his own weight in oatmeal.

“You’re in,” Stephen said.

“I can,” Nalyd started.

“Wear pink and look like a dork,” Stephen laughed.

“I can dance,” Nalyd said.

“I’d like to see you try,” Stephen laughed mockingly. Nalyd then danced an impressive version of Thriller.

“Nice, Renny,” Matt said.

“Okay, Renrut’s in,” Stephen said, “And I’m in.”

“What’s your talent?” Owe asked.

“You’ll see,” Stephen said.

The Killer Dolphins were in front of their cabin practicing.

“I can dance robot,” Tdifan said. She began dancing, but ended up falling backwards.

“Interesting,” Gigi said.

“I have dark poetry I can read,” Zak said, pulling a notebook out of his pocket. He cleared his throat. “I see the kids play. They all leave me out of it. Minor character.”

“You’re in, Gigi said happily.

“I can draw,” Sprinklemist said. He did a quick sketch and showed it to Gigi, who looked at it puzzled.

“What is it?” she asked.

“It’s you and me holding hands,” Sprinklemist said. “I mean some guy and some girl holding hands…”

“Okay,” Gigi said awkwardly. “You’re in. And, Tdifan, you can be too.”

“What about you, Gigi?” Tdifan asked. “Don’t you have a talent?”

“No, it’s okay,” Gigi said.

One hour later, Arnold returned. “Time to perform,” he said. “First up, Screaming Moles!”

Nalyd got onto the stage. Stephen pressed the play button on the boom box off stage, and “Barbie Girl” started played. Nalyd didn’t realize it and started dancing the Thriller.

Arnold Schwarzenegger broke out in laughter. “That is hilarious! A little boy in a pink hoodie dancing to ‘Barbie Girl!’ Ten points!” The Moles cheered for Nalyd, but he just blushed and hid in the cabin. “Who is next?”

“I’ll go,” Owe said. Matt and Stephen brought Owe three wheel-barrows full of food. Owe ate it, wheelbarrow and all.

“That was deep, man,” Arnold said, a tear rolling down his face. “Ten points. Next!”

Stephen walked onto the stage. “I will be performing magic! First, my lovely assistant, Nalyd the Dork, must come onto the stage!” Matt dragged Nalyd onto the stage. Nalyd stood there awkwardly. Stephen pantsed Nalyd and pushed him off the stage. “I made his dignity disappear!” Nalyd quickly waddled away.

“That was amusing,” Arnold said. “Seven out of ten, since I think you got blood on the carpet. Wait, that’s just ketchup. Anyway, Killer Dolphins, time to go!”

Tdifan got onto the stage and performed the robot. Arnold called in medics to get her. “Three out of ten,” Arnold said.

“We lost,” Zak said. “It’s impossible for us to win even if Sprinklemist and I both get tens.”

“You can get more than ten,” Arnold said. “So go, whiner.”

Zak opened his book of poetry. “Darkness consumes me. But I like big pink bunnies. Owe is very fat. Wait a minute, this isn’t my poem!” Offstage, Stephen was on the ground laughing.

“Two out of ten,” Arnold said. “Sprinklemist, you need to get a score of fifteen or high to tie or win. No pressure.”

“Gigi,” Sprinklemist whispered. “I can’t do this. I’m too scared.”

“You’ll be fine,” Gigi laughed. Sprinklemist turned green, ran away, and threw up in a bush. Gigi stepped onto the stage and started singing ‘Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows.’

“That was amazing,” Arnold said. “Fourteen points! Moles win!”

“Aw, man,” Gigi said sadly.

“Dolphins,” Arnold said. “See you tonight.”

That night, the four Killer Dolphins sat at the campfire ceremony with three marshmallows. “Greetings, Killer Dolphins,” he said. “First two marshmallows go to Gigi and Zak.” Arnold tossed Gigi and Zak their marshmallows. “Tdifan and Sprinklemist, this is the final marshmallow. It goes to… Tdifan. Hasta la vista, Sprinky!”

Sprinklemist stood and turned back. “Gigi,” he said, his eyes swelling with tears, “I really like you and I just wanted to tell you before I go.” Sprinklemist started walking down the dock.

“Wait,” Gigi called out. She caught up with him. “I really like you too and I’m sorry you have to go.” She kissed him on the cheek. Sprinklemist got on the Boat of Losers, and left Kid Country.

“That was so interesting,” Arnold said sarcastically. “Join us again next time on Kid Country!”

“Are you two still dating?” Matt asked Gigi and Sprinklemist.

“No,” Gigi said, “We didn’t really like each other. The producers gave us each a hundred dollars to pretend to like each other!”

“They did?” Sprinklemist asked awkwardly.

The next week, the ten kids went to Sunshine’s house. “Can we watch now?” Matt asked.

“Nope,” Sunshine said. “We lost power.”

“But this was my big episode where I got eliminated!” Zak said sadly.

“You lost, get over it,” Greg said.

“Nothing really interesting happened,” Nalyd said, recalling the events of their third day on the show. “Matt and Sunshine threw me a birthday party, it wasn’t my birthday, the Screaming Moles won the challenge, and Zak got voted off.”

The next week, the ten kids all went to Tdifan’s house to watch. “This is the week with the merge right?” Sunshine asked.

“Quiet,” Greg glared, “This is a spoiler free zone!”

“Last time on Kid Country,” Arnold Schwarzenegger said, standing on the dock. “Matt and Sunshine threw Nalyd a birthday party, even though it wasn’t his birthday. The Screaming Moles won the challenge! Zak got voted off, due to Gigi and Tdifan’s alliance. Who will be voted off tonight?”

The next morning, everyone got pancakes. “Congrats on making it to the merge,” Arnold said happily.

“Yeah, baby!” Sunshine screamed. She jumped onto the table and danced on everyone’s pancake.

“My poor pancake!” Owe shouted, beginning to cry. When nobody was looking, he ate his pancake regardless.

“Today’s challenge is an Awake-a-thon,” Arnold said. “Last one awake wins.” Sunshine immediately fell to sleep.

Ten hours in, Sunshine, Owe, and Matt were out. Gigi woke up Sunshine and brought her over to where she and Tdifan were sitting. “Sunshine,” Gigi said. “Tdifan and I had an idea, to start a chicks’ alliance to vote off the guys.”

“Okay, mommy,” Sunshine said sleepily.

“Awesome,” Tdifan. “Now we need to make sure the guys either vote with us, or don’t vote together.”

Five hours later, Stephen and Nalyd had fallen to sleep next to each other. Nalyd, in his sleep, kissed Stephen’s head. Nalyd woke up immediately and started screaming.

“Renrut,” Stephen said, anger slowly rising in his voice, “If you like me, it’s seriously time for you to die.” Nalyd ran away.

“Only Gigi and Tdifan are still awake,” Arnold Schwarzenegger said.

“I’ll let you win this,” Tdifan yawned. Tdifan fell asleep.

“Gigi wins immunity!” Arnold said. “All of you come to the campfire ceremony in an hour.” He poured ice water on everyone to wake them up.

“Okay girls,” Gigi said as she, Tdifan, and Sunshine sat in the Dolphins’ cabin. “We need to vote Nalyd off. He’s mean, and I’d tell him that to his face if I wasn’t terrified of him.”

“Nalyd’s like the nicest guy I know,” Sunshine said. “And he plays a mean game of canasta.”

“Plays what?” Tdifan asked.

“I don’t know, really,” Sunshine said.

Before the campfire ceremony, Nalyd sad to Sunshine, “Sunshine, we need to vote off Tdifan. She’s a huge threat. All the guys are voting for her, and I’m just telling you because Matt considers you one of the guys.”

“Tdifan’s like the nicest girl I know,” Sunshine said. “And she plays a mean game of canasta.”

At the campfire ceremony, Arnold had six marshmallows. “Marshmallows for Gigi, Sunshine, Owen, Stephen, and Matt.” He tossed the five their marshmallows. “The final marshmallow goes to… Nalyd.”

“Bye guys,” Tdifan said sadly as she walked to the Boat of Losers.

“Wait!” Nalyd said. He ran down and hugged Tdifan. “I really like you, and I only voted for you because I was worried I’d tell you and everything on the island would be really, really awkward like it is right now…”

“I know what you mean, Nalyd,” Tdifan giggled. She hugged him, got on the Boat of Losers, and left.

“Aw!” Sunshine cooed.

“Keep watching,” Nalyd said.

“I don’t actually like Tdifan,” Nalyd laughed in the confessional. “But if I pretended that a girl I really like got eliminated, nobody will vote for me next week!”

Sunshine smacked Nalyd in the back of the head. “That hurt!” Nalyd said.

“Not as bad as this is gonna hurt,” Tdifan growled. She jumped onto Nalyd and started attacking him.

The next week, everyone watched at Stephen’s house. Sunshine spent most of the time looking for Duncan.

“Last time on Kid Country,” Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “The teams merged, Gigi won immunity, Tdifan got voted off, and Nalyd, being his evil self, pretended to like Tdifan!”

Nalyd walked into the mess hall dressed in head to toe in black. “Hey, Renny!” Sunshine said happily. “What’s wrong?”

“Tdifan got eliminated,” Nalyd said. His eyes were red from crying.

“I put a little salt in my eye,” Nalyd said, laughing evilly in the confessional. “I am good!”

“Poor, Renny,” Matt said. “Maybe this will help.” Matt jumped onto the table and started dancing. He fell off the table. He landed on Sunshine.

“Aw,” Stephen said, “Look at the lovebirds!” Matt realized that he and Sunshine’s lips had collided when he fell, making it look like they had kissed.

“I got the cooties!” Sunshine screamed. She sprayed Matt with pepper spray she pulled out of her breakfast Hot Pocket.

“Today’s challenge,” Arnold Schwarzenegger said as he walked into the mess hall, “Is a game of Hide and Terminate. You hide… And I terminate you!” He shot Nalyd with a paintball. Arnold ran away, then returned and shot Owe. “The rest of you have ten minutes to hide.” Stephen hid in Arnold’s office. Sunshine hid on Arnold’s head. Gigi hid behind Owe. Matt hid on Sunshine’s head. Arnold looked up and shot Sunshine and Matt.

After an hour of looking, he found Gigi behind Owe, but she ran away before he could shoot her. He found her trying to get into his office. He shot her with the paintball gun. “Stephen wins,” Arnold said. “Now the final six must come to the campfire ceremony. Or else.”

“Matt,” Nalyd said to Matt, “I fear we may have to vote Sunshine off.”

“Why?” Matt asked.

“She’s in two alliances,” Nalyd explained. “She’s in the girls’ alliance.”

“Sunshine’s not a girl!” Matt said.

“Yeah she is,” Nalyd said. The two looked over to see Sunshine playing with worms in the mud.

“This is Sparta!” she shouted in a low masculine voice.

“That doesn’t prove my point, does it?” Nalyd asked.

“Not really,” Matt shrugged.

At the campfire ceremony, Arnold gave marshmallows to Stephen, Matt, Owe, and Gigi. “Sunshine and Nalyd, this is the final marshmallow. And it goes to… Sunshine.”

“What?” Nalyd screamed. “I’ll sue the pants off this show! You’ll regret ever casting Nalyd Renrut! And all of you will regret the day you voted off Nalyd Renrut! You’re nothing without me!” Two huge bodyguards carried Nalyd to the Boat of Losers. “I do not concede!”

The room exploded in laughter. “I was mad, gosh!” Nalyd said angrily.

The next week, nobody bothered to watch the episode.

However, final four week, everyone was crammed onto Matt’s sofa, and tuned in.

“Last time on Kid Country,” Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “We visited the losers. While some, like Greg, Nalyd, and Zak, were still upset they had to go, people like Tdifan and Sprinklemist reminded us it’s okay to be a loser! In the end, the voted off campers voted for Matt!”

“Where’s Matt?” Sunshine asked Gigi. “And where’s Renny?”

“Eliminated,” Gigi said. Sunshine gasped.

“I must find them!” she then ran away.

An hour later, Arnold walked in. “Bad news, everyone. Sunshine wandered off and we can’t find her so she’s eliminated. Today we will be doing dares sent in by eliminated contestants. If you do the dare, you can pick who goes next.”

“Yes!” Owe said, jumping onto the table. “Awesome! Let’s do this!”

Arnold held out a hat with names in it. Gigi pulled out the first name – “GREG.”

“Jump off the cliff,” Arnold said. “That is Greg’s dare.”

Gigi went to the top of the cliff, and jumped off of it. She returned soaking wet, and picked Stephen to go next. Stephen picked a name – “MATT.”

“Matt’s dare,” Arnold said, “Is to eat a can of worms.”

Stephen took the can and chugged down the worms. “That all you got?” he asked. He picked Owe to do the next dare. Owen picked a paper out of the hat – “SUNSSHIEN.”

“Sunshine’s dare is to tickle a sleeping grizzly bear,” Arnold laughed.

“Wish me luck,” Owe said nervously. The producers led him to a sleeping bear. He walked up to it and began tickling it. The bear kept sleeping.

“Well done, Owe,” Arnold said. “Now dare somebody else!”

Stephen grabbed Owe by his shirt collar. “Owe,” Stephen said. “We gotta be final two.”

“Why?” Owe asked. Stephen held up his fists. “You make a very forceful argument.”

Owe picked Gigi to do the next dare – “SPRINKLEMIST.”

“Sprinklemist’s dare is to watch Owe dance,” Arnold laughed, “Without his shirt on!”

Owe took off his shirt and began dancing. “Oh, the horror!” Gigi screamed. But she kept watching, imagining Owe was a bowl of jell-o that had fallen on the floor during an earthquake. After sixty seconds, Gigi had passed. She picked Stephen to do the next dare – “ZAK.”

“Zak’s dare is to drink the pond scum,” Arnold smiled, holding out a freshly poured cup of scum. Stephen gulped it down.

“That was nasty,” Stephen gagged. He picked Gigi for the next dare – “TDIFAN.”

“Tdifan’s dare,” Arnold said, “Is to chew Owe’s old gum.” Gigi took the huge was of Owe’s gum and started chewing.

“This is disgusting,” she said sadly. She then started choking and swallowed the gum.

“No!” Owe shouted. “That gum was so young!”

“Well, Stephen,” Gigi said. “You get the last dare – Nalyd’s dare.”

“This is a good one!” Arnold laughed. “Eliminate yourself!”

“And if I refuse?” Stephen asked.

“Then you get eliminated,” Arnold laughed. Stephen growled, spit on the island, but got on the Boat of Losers.

“And then there were two,” Arnold said. “Join us again next week for the exciting conclusion!”

“Go, Owe!” Sunshine shouted.

“Sunshine, where did you go?” Nalyd asked.

“Somewhere called ‘Indonesia.’ It was really boring,” Sunshine shrugged.

The next week, everyone went to Greg’s house, and sat on the same couch as who they wanted to win. Ironically, all the Killer Dolphins supported Gigi, and all the Screaming Moles supported Owe. The block read 8:00, time for the show. Greg turned on the TV and…

“Tonight on ‘Ultimate Showdown,’ Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mark Thornton will fight in a cage match, and the winner gets one dollar!” the man on the show said.

“Where’s the show?” Gigi asked surprised.

A banner ran across the screen. It said, “Due to only ten viewers per episode, ‘Kid Country’ has been cancelled. Enjoy this show anyway.”

“So who won?” Matt asked Owe.

“Gigi and I can’t say until the finale airs,” Owe sighed.

“So what now?” Zak asked.

“Now,” Gigi said, “We go to school tomorrow and go on with our lives.”

“Waste of my summer,” Nalyd said.

~End of Chapter 13

Chapter 14: Worst Halloween Ever
This chapter was brought to you by: Nalyd Renrut

One cold late March day, the students of Wawanakwa Elementary filed into the school and took their seats in their classes. Except for one very special student. “Happy Halloween!” she screamed as she ran down the halls of the school.“Sunshine!” Nalyd shouted. Sunshine looked at him with a crazed look in her eye. “It’s March. Halloween was months ago. We all went trick-or-treating, and then Owe went into a coma and threw up on himself from eating too much candy!”

“I know not of what the pale one says,” Sunshine said. She ran over to the rest of the group. “Guys! Let’s go trick-or-treating!”

Owe’s eyes grew big. “Candy…” he sighed.

“Sounds fun,” Tdifan laughed. “I can be Princess Peach.”

“If you’re Bowser you can save money on having to buy a costume,” Nalyd smirked.

Tdifan kicked him in the shin. “You could be Petey Piranha. You wouldn’t have to even get a bigger head.”

“Touche,” Nalyd muttered.

“I’m not going,” Stephen said.

“Me neither,” Matt said. “I’m too old for trick-or-treating!”

“Guys, it isn’t Halloween,” Nalyd said. He was ignored however. Stephen put Nalyd and Matt in a head lock.

“Looks like the three of us are hanging out tonight,” Stephen laughed evilly.

“Nalyd, I’m frightened,” Matt said.

That night, Sunshine, Owe, and Tdifan all met up in front of the school. Owe wore a giant burger, Tdifan was dressed as Princess Peach, and Sunshine worse a large gray hoodie.

“Are you some sort of ghost?” Tdifan asked Sunshine.“No, I’m Renny!” Sunshine said. “I stole one of his hoodies!”

“That’s not creepy at all,” Tdifan said sarcastically.

“I know,” Sunshine laughed. "But Nalyd is one of the scariest things ever!"

“Come on guys,” Owe said angrily. “We’re wasting time!”

“Calm down, Owe,” Sunshine said.

“Never!” Owe shouted. “I need candy!”

(I know I rarely do this, but I need to point out the irony of Sunshine telling Owe to calm down. I was just so worried people would miss that gag that I had to write this little note. Thanks for your time, enjoy the show. Love, Nalyd.)

Meanwhile, Nalyd and Matt were at Stephen’s house. “Ready for a scary story?” Stephen asked, laughing evilly.“I’m gonna wet my pants,” Nalyd whispered.

“That’s why I put newspaper on the floor,” Stephen said. Stephen flashed a flashlight under his chin. “Ten years ago, in Wawanakwa Elementary, there was a little boy named Billy.”

“Question!” Matt interrupted. “How much did he weight?”

“Why does it matter?” Stephen asked.

“I can picture it better if you tell me,” Matt said.

Stephen ignored him. “Ang Billy was just a regular kid like me or you or Renrut. And he walked into Ms. McLean’s class and… He exploded!”

Matt and Nalyd started screaming. Nalyd ran out of the house. “That was awesome,” Matt laughed. “We scared Renny!”

“Yeah we did,” Stephen said. “That was hilarious.”

Meanwhile, Sunshine, Owe, and Tdifan walked through the neighborhood, knocking on people’s doors. Ms. McLean opened the door. “Hello, Sunshine,” she smiled. “Please don’t hurt me.”

“I need chocolate!” Owe shouted. Ms. McLean screamed, then ran inside, locked her doors and windows, and called her therapist. Owe started crying. “We’ll never get candy, and now I’m gonna starve!”

“Owe,” Tdifan said. “We stopped at the candy store ten minutes ago. I think you’ll live.”

“This was the worst Halloween ever,” Sunshine said sadly. “Why didn’t I dress up as Duncan?”

“Sunshine, Owe,” Tdifan said, “This Halloween may have been terrible, but at least we have each other!” Sunshine and Owe just glared at Tdifan.

Meanwhile, Matt and Stephen were on Nalyd’s street looking for him. “I bet he’s in that house,” Matt said, pointing to a white house with several small Halloween ornaments on the lawn.

“That’s his house,” Stephen said.

“So I’m probably right,” Matt smiled proudly. The two walked up the steps to the house and knocked on the door. The door opened and smoke slowly creeped out.

“Hello?” Stephen shouted. “Renrut!” They walked in and the door closed. Suddenly, the living room and dining room to their left and right were on fire, everything burning. Stephen and Matt screamed. They turned to open the door, but couldn’t get out. A tall figure walked down the stairs, holding a scythe and wearing a black cloak.

“It’s the Grim Reaper!” Matt screamed.

“For whom the bell tolls,” the figure said in a low menacing voice. It extended a finger at Stephen. “It tolls for thee.” Stephen screamed and kicked the door down. Before Matt and Stephen ran through the doorway, they saw that there was a large spider web covering the door.“Run!” Matt screamed, running right through the web. The dark figure chased them out of the house. Stephen and Matt ran down the sidewalk, to the next block, and didn’t stop.

The figure removed its mask, and Nalyd’s head sat in the cloak. He laughed to himself. “That will teach them to mess with me,” Nalyd said. He jumped off the stilts he was standing on, and turned to go back into his house. He looked and saw that it had burned down. “Uh oh.”

A car pulled into Nalyd’s driveway. “Nalyd Sherbert Renrut!” his mother screamed as she stepped out of her car. “What did you do to my house!?!”

“Worst Halloween ever,” Nalyd muttered.

~End of Chapter 14

Chapter 15: Not Wawanakwa Elementary (Part 1)
It was a sunny fall day, and the children were walking to school together.

Owe and Stephen were chatting, Tdifan and Sunshine were discussing something, and Matt was running over to greet Nalyd.

“Hi, Nalyd!” He said loudly, his dark curly hair blowing in the wind.

“Hey,” Nalyd whispered very quietly, “Is Nalyd Jr. done yet?” Nalyd Jr. was Nalyd's ecret Teddy Bear. The school bully, Salami, and his minions, Beef and Cheese had discovered the bear and ripped it a part. So Nalyd asked Matt to fix it with his taxidermy kit.

“Yeah,” said Matt. He was the only one in the gang who knew about Nalyd Jr. “I even added an extra touch, and sowed on to the tag, 'Nalyd's teddy'!”

Nalyd shrieked. “Who are you? My mom?”

As soon as the gang arrived at school, they noticed a new building with a sign on it labeled “Not Wawanakwa Elementary School”.

“What? 'Not Wawanakwa Elementary School'?” ranted Nalyd, “That's pathetic!”

Pig just shook his head. The others got his signal. “Bad.”

Sunshine might have just been the only one who didn't get Pig's signal, because she said “Let's cut school and go explore it! We can see what it's like to go to another school!”

“Yeah!” said Tdifan. “It'll be like visiting another planet!”

The others agreed to go.

All except Nalyd, who they had to drag in.

As the children walked across the hallway to find the 1st grade, they noticed something. All the children looked like kids who they thought went to there school, except for they were all super pale, and wearing completely black robes.

“Well, Nalyd,” said Sunshine. “You seem to belong here.”

Matt noticed that one of the kids looked like Gigi. He went up to greet her.

“Hi, Gigi!” he said cheerfully.

“My name is not Gigi.” said the Gigi look-a-like, “Call me Not Gigi. You know, I know a boy who looks very similar to you. His name is Not Matt.”

“Oh?” said Matt, “What's his name?”

“I just told you.” said Not Gigi.

Matt walked away, very confused. The children walked along until they saw a room labeled, “Not 1st Grade.”

They opened the door to find what looked like pale versions of themselves, and all there friends in black.

The teacher looked like Ms. Mclain.

She turned her head to see them.“You're LATE!” she barked meanly.

“Ms. Mclain!” said Matt, “You work here now!?”

“Ms. Mclean? Who's that? My name is Not Ms. Mclain!”

“Oh?” said Matt, “What is it?”

“I just said it.” Grinned Not Ms. Mclean.

End part 1.
