  5. You seem very determined. It is incredible what you were able to accompllish and that you fought through it all and made it safely to your friend's house. Congratulations! I would not have been able to go 50 miles and then help move furniture the next day. Thank you!

  8. Thank you Nuile for your comments. I agree with the posts you made in regards to my errors in grammar and style. I am glad to have received a thumbs up and high five. That is a first. Thank you!

  10. I found this poem to be very profound and I enjoyed your take on 'truth' and admire the length you were able to give to this poem.
  11. Tina: Jay, this is Tina! I need for you to come to the store. Jay: Alright, but only for a minute. I'm right around the corner. Tina: See you in a bit then. They hang up and then Jay runs to the corner of that street and then walks down the sidewalk to the store and then he goes in. Jay: Alright Tina! I'm here! Tina: How was your run? Jay: Awesome! I never knew I could run so fast. Wait! How did you...? Tina: It's a good thing your the only one. Jay: What do you mean? Did you...? Tina: I know what you can do. I've been waiting for it to happen. Jay: How do you know? I just found out. What's wrong with me? Tina: Nothing's wrong with you. It is your destiny as much as it is the girls' destiny. Jay: What? They can run as fast as I can. Tina: No, they're different. You're their help against the Shadow. Jay: Who's the Shadow? Tina: Come, I'll tell you everything. They go into the storage room and then you see Leah at the restaurant. Leah's waiting. She looks at her phone which says meet me at the Hard Rock Café at nine. Waiter: Would you like to order now miss? Leah: No, I think I've waited long enough. Here's for any trouble. I'm sorry! She grabs her sweater, gives the waiter the money, and heads towards the door. Back underground with Jay and Tina… Jay: So they have magical powers and are trying to defeat the Shadow, because he wants to take over the Earth, and it is my job to help protect them. Tina: Yes. Jay: And Whitney controls water, Emma controls the Earth, Felicia controls fire, Amy controls air, and Leah can… Oh, no! Tina: What? What’s wrong? Jay: What time is it? Tina: Oh! Um! It’s almost ten. Jay: Oh no! Leah! I gotta go! Tina: Wait! Jay: I can’t! She’s waiting! Tina: Yes you can! It’ll only take you a minute to get there. Jay: Fine! What is it? Tina: Here is your costume. Jay: What’s the B for? Tina: The Bullet. Jay: Cool name! He sees a letter fall when he opens it completely. He picks it up. Jay: A letter Tina: Don’t open it! Jay: Why? Tina: I can’t tell you that. Just don’t open or mention it to the girls. Jay: Then when do you want me to open it? Tina: When the time is right. And don’t worry, you’ll know when. Now, go save your date. He speeds out the door. Leah leaves the restaurant and hails a cab. She gets in, just as Jay slows down and sees her get in. He normally runs as the taxi drives off. He knocks on the window and runs while Leah rolls the window down. Leah: What? Jay: Look, I’m sorry I’m late. Leah: What took you so long? Jay: I went out for a run and then I st… Leah: Wait! You went out for a run? Jay: Yeah! Leah: Your sister was right. Jay: What do you mean? Leah: Maybe if you weren’t so in love with the thrill you get from speed, you’d know. At least I do. I'm sorry! I don't think we should see each other like this anymore. Leah rolls up the window, the cab speeds up, and Jay stops running. He then begins walking around NY,while Leah gets home and ready for bed. (Go back and forth between them.) Jay also calls Leah on his cell, but she ignores it, so he leaves a message. You see her phone light up. Jay: Hey! It’s me. Look! I’m sorry I was late. I really am. I was with Tina at the store after I ran, and you were right; I am obsessed with going fast. I now know why. It’s because… Phone makes a buzzing sound. Jay: Hang on a sec. He looks at his phone. It says low battery. Jay: Uh! My phone is on low battery, so I’ll hurry. I know why I love speed and it’s because… Phone buzzes again. Jay: Oh no! I know because I’m the Bull… Phone:… Jay: Hello! Leah? Dang it! He shuts his phone. Jay: I’ll make it up to her tomorrow. Next day… Leah walks in the store and up to the girls. Leah: Hey girls! Emma: Hey Leah! Whitney: So how was your night with Jay? Leah: We broke up. Amy: Why? Leah: He was late. Whitney: How late? Leah: An hour. Felicia: Wow! Did he bring you anything to make up for it? Leah: No, and he didn’t even call to apologize. You were right Amy. All your brother cares about to going fast. Amy: I’m sorry! I didn’t want to be. Whitney: Well, I wouldn’t say he didn’t give you something to make up for last night. Leah: What do you mean? Whitney: Amy! Amy: My brother gave me these to give to you since he didn’t have work today. I didn’t know! She pulls a bouquet of roses out from the table behind her. Leah: Keep them Amy. These are for all the times he ignored you to go ride his stupid moped. She hands them to Amy. Leah: Now, let’s get to work. Amy sits the roses down and they get back to work. Nine o’clock. Tina: Ok, it’s time to close and go practice! Amy: Ok mom! Come on guys! Whitney and I want to show you our idea. They go down and Tina turns on the light. They have their outfits on. Whitney: Ok guys! Watch this! Whitney creates a big water cylinder in front of them and then Amy puts cold air on the water and freezes the water into a block cylinder. Felicia: Whoa! Now we can do some ice-sculpturing. Amy: Another time. How about you try and melt it Felicia. Felicia: Alright. She uses her power and melts it completely. When done, their rings begin to glow. Felicia: Cool! Whitney: Now our rings are glowing. Amy: And mine is doing it again. Leah: Guys do you hear that? They are all quiet and hear something speed around them. They then hear movement in the room coming from Bullet. Leah then listens closely and turns around and puts up a force field that knocks the Bullet to the ground. Bullet: Hey! Be careful! Tina: Girls, this is the Bullet. Felicia: This? Bullet: Hey! I’m good! Tina: Behave now. This is the one I was telling you about who will help you to defeat the Shadow. Bullet: I will fight until the end and I promise to protect all of you. He looks at Leah. Emma: Great, another speed freak. Leah: Please! I don’t want to talk about it ever again. He and I are through. Bullet stares at Leah. Bullet: Are you alright? Leah: Yeah! Hi! I’m Leah! Bullet: The Bullet. They shake hands slowly and look into each other’s eyes. Whitney: I’m Whitney! Emma: Emma. Felicia: It’s nice to meet you. I’m Felicia. Amy: And I’m Amy. Tina: Now that we have all been introduced, it’s time to practice. Emma(thought): I’m sorry about my mom you guys. She wants us to be ready. Leah(thought): Don’t worry about it. Felicia(thought): I forgot we could do this. Emma(thought): Tina’s staring at us. Do you think she knows what we’re doing? Tina: I know what you guy are doing? Amy: What are they doing? Emma(thought): We’re speaking to each other with our thoughts. Amy: Oh! Tina: Now I know for sure. You don't need to speak telepathically unless you're in danger. Bullet: Am I able to do that too? Tina: I’m sorry! I only know the same amount of abilities that you possess as I do about Leah. Ok, now let’s get back to practicing. They get ready to practice. Later…You then see them practicing. And then Felicia realizes she can throw fire balls. Felicia: Hey guys! Watch this! She throws some more fireballs out of her palms and then she begins juggling them. Whitney: That’s awesome! Felicia: I’ll try to make a bigger one. Emma: Leah… Felicia makes a huge ball of fire. Emma: You’ve got to see this. Felicia: I’ll take it to her. As she begins to run over to Leah and she turns around, Felicia falls over, and the fireball flies fast towards Leah. When she turns around completely, Bullet grabs her before it hits her. They fall to the floor. The others run over to them. Leah: Thanks! Bullet: You’re welcome! They look at each other for a little bit. Emma: Are you guys alright? Bullet: Yeah! Leah: Yeah! Bullet gets off Leah and helps her up. Felicia: I’m so sorry! Leah: Don’t worry about it! She looks at Bullet and walks away. Amy follows. Amy: What’s wrong Leah? Leah: It was his eyes. Amy: Him? Why? Leah: That is exactly the same way I met your brother. Amy: Oh! Leah: And he looked at me the same way. He has those same deep blue eyes. Amy: Just forget about it. He had his chance with you, but then he lost it. Tina: Ok guys! You can go home now. Emma: Thanks mom! They all leave and then you see the crystal ball again.
  12. I think that was very interesting. I like your choice of words and the idea you placed in your work. Thank you!
  13. straightforward answers are a blessing...dumb nonverbal communication :P

  14. Christian Rider recently lost his father to cancer. The loss hit Christian hard. He grew up admiring his father. They spent all of their free time together going fishing, bowling, and playing or watching sports. Now he no longer played or went to the lake. He just slept or sat on the sofa. It had been over a month since his death, but Christian couldn't get over the fact that he had lost his best friend, and that everything in his hometown reminded him of him. So he went to his mother and asked if they would go away for the rest of the summer. She agreed and the next day, they left for his grandma's, who lived one state over in Minnesota. Once settled, Christian went for run around the town, while mom spoke with grandma. He ran for several blocks before he stopped for a breath. The sun was already beginning to set, so he decided to head back. As he turned to track back, he noticed someting blue floating in the sky. With closer observation through squinting and walking towards it, he determined it to be a balloon with what appeared to be some black writing on its sides. It chalked it up to having had blown away from some kid or adult at a birthday party or other celebration. He didn't think it came from around here though, since he could hear no laughter or any other sounds or signs that would signify the fact that a party was occurring. He assumed it probably got caught by the breeze from earlier and blew to this neighborhood and got caught on some telephone wire or tree branch or whatever else that got into its path, luckily without bursting. There was no wind now, so it must've just been released from its prison, and began its upward journey to meet the clouds or get hit by a plane or bird or something. He so wished he could be free like the balloon from all the pain he was feeling, but all he could do was shrug and jog back home. He ate supper, thanked his grandma for letting them come and stay there for awhile, and for the supper she prepared, before retiring to his room to go to sleep. He slept most of the next day until his mom made him get up and have brunch with his grandma and her. Afterwards, he flipped through the channels on the tv for awhile until he landed on a Twins' game. He and his dad used to watch them all the time during the last bit of the school year until summer vacation. His dad grew up here with his mom, dad, and sister, so they were his favorite team. His dad's dad used to take his father to the games until he became an adult, got married, and moved away for a great job opportunity. Soon after, his mother became pregnant with Christian. His father promised to one day take Christian to a Twins' game, but now that wouldn't be happening. Christian became sad remembering his father's words, so he turned off the TV and went to go for another run. After running several blocks like he did the day before, he stopped and stood beneath the shade of a tree. He then watched the sun go down over the lake just across the road, atop the hill overlooking it. He had noticed the shimmery blue water reflecting the sunlight off the surface of the water and found himself walking towards it. He sat there watching the people walking along the sand of the small lake and saw some kids swimming and splashing water at each other. He listened to the laughter and screams of the children and got lost in the sounds and beauty that was below him. It didn't last long though, as he saw a father chasing his young daughter around, before lifing her high into the air and bringing him back to his chest. Soon memories poured from his head and reached his heart, releasing a single tear, which found its way past the barrier he had put up after his death. As the sun began disappearing, he stood up and began his walk back. When he got back to the street, he noticed another blue balloon floating above the houses across the street. He thought it was just a coincidence, that maybe it too had gotten stuck, or maybe both had been tied to a pole or something, and they were slowly breaking free. He ignored it as he continued home, but after dinner, he went to his room and laid in his bed, unable to fall asleep and staring at the ceiling, because he couldn't ignore it anymore. He thought he could forget about that silly balloon, but his blue walls and the blue shirt his grandma was wearing, didn't help him to do so. He decided he would go back again tomorrow and see that it was nothing more than a mere coincidence. The next morning, while Christian's mother and grandmother were eating breakfast, they saw him appear before them. Their jaws dropped at the fact that he was awake so early and that he had wished them a 'good' morning. He grabbed two pancakes from the stack on the plate and a glass of milk before going back to his room. They didn't understand what caused this change in Christian. Later on in the day, his grandmother got a bigger shock. He asked if she knew where he could find a set of binoculars. She told him that his grandfather had put it in a box that he took to the basement, but that it was such a mess down there, she didn't know where he had put it, or if he'd be able to find. Later she walked by the basement door and heard strange noises. When she opened the door and went down the stairs, she noticed that it was clean. All the boxes were placed on the shelves near the back wall and that they were marked, while the floor appeared to have been swept. She heard a noise to the left and saw Christian carrying the final box over to the shelves. On the desk next to him, were the binoculars. After placing the final box on a shelf, he turned to see his grandma descend the last two stairs with huge eyes staring at him. He explained that it took him awhile to find the box and since he wasn't busy with anything else, he just kept going after he found them. She tried to hold back tears as she went to hug him. She was so happy, she wanted to cook his favorite meal; lemon pepper chicken with mashed potatoes and sweet corn. They both went back upstairs and Christian took a quick shower while his grandma prepared supper. After his shower, Christian threw on a tee and some jeans, grabbed the binoculars, and told his grandma that he would back and that there was something he had to do before supper was done. Her only words were 'okay'. He saw the sun was starting to fade, so he ran until he reached his destination. He brought the binoculars to his face and began searching for a possible balloon drifting in the small breeze this evening. He waited ten minutes, looking through the binoculars at the houses where the balloons could've came from. The sun was close to gone and he knew supper was probably done. He was filled with disappointment, half-hoping the balloons weren't some sort of coincidence, so he put the binoculars arond his neck He then pulled them back off as he saw it; a blue balloon appeared above the trees. He looked through the binoculars at the backs of houses until he saw a figure moving around. He then went over and peered over the bush beside the fence of the figure's backyard. There was a girl about his age with short blonde hair staring up at the balloon. Although he was curious why she was letting off these balloons every night, he quickly shyed away from communicating with her. He turned to leave, but then heard the girl speak. "Hey!" He looked back as she was making the last couple of strides to the fence, so he turned back and walked up to her. "What are you doing?" "Nothing. I was just taking a walk and I noticed your balloon." "So you were watching me?" "No. No. It's just that I've been seeing your balloons for the last couple of nights and I was wondering where they came from is all." "What's your name?" "Christian." "Oh! I am sorry to hear about your dad. Your grandmother was telling me about your father and about you after it happened." "You know my grandmother?" "Yea. I live with my grandma and your grandma comes over a couple times a week to play bridge with my grandma and a few other grandparents in the neighborhood. I join them once in awhile as well when I don't have homework or work to do. She hadn't come for a few weeks and I had heard from my grandma about her losing her son. She came about four days ago to play again and she began telling us about him and about you." "Oh I see." "Yea! My name is Trinity by the way. So...how are you handling it? Have things gotten better for you? " "I don't know. Just one day at a time, I guess." "I know how you feel. I lost my parents seven years ago in a car accident." "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" "Don't worry! It's alright! I mean at first I thought it was the end of the world, but after the first couple of weeks, my grandma gave me an idea to help me get through the pain I was feeling of losing them." "What was that?" "Come on. I'll show you." She opened the latch on the gate and invited him into the backyard. He followed her to the stairs and waited as she went inside. She emerged a few moments later with a bag of balloons, some sort of a tank, and two black markers. She opened the bag and placed it in front of Christian. "Here. Pick one." "What for?" "You'll see. Now pick your favorite one." He stared at her for a moment before reaching into the bag and pulling out a green one. She placed the bag on the porch step and went up to the tank. She filled them up with air and he tied them off. "Okay. Now take this marker and write down everything you want to say to your father. Write until you run out of room. I'll do the same." "I don't think I can do that. I don't even know what to write." "Write anything you want. Tell him how you feel or what's new in your life or how much you miss him. It doesn't matter what you write as long as it comes from the heart." "I guess I'll try." They both sit down on the porch with their balloons between their legs as they write. Christian wrote how much he missed his father and how he was staying with grandma for awhile and that mom was doing well. He wrote until he ran out of room on the balloon. Trinity then told him to stand up and follow her. He followed her to the middle of the backyard, cradling the balloon carefully in his arms. "Alright! Now what?" "Isn't it obvious? You let it go and it'll fly up above the clouds to your father, so he can see what you wrote." She tossed hers up to the air and it began to go higher and higher. She turned to see Christian staring at his balloon still in his hands. She then went over and grabbed one of his hands and held it tight. "It'll be okay. Trust me. This helped me so much when I lost my parents. I was so happy that my grandma had helped me find a way to send messages to my mother and father. She actually works at a party store and that's how we have the helium tank, so when she saw how much I was hurting, she thought this was worth a shot, and I did it. I was still sad, but I felt a huge sense of relief as well. I've been doing it almost every day since and I only use blue balloons because that was their favorite color. You can do this too, okay?" He looked at her for a moment in her hazel eyes and then released the balloon. It rose above them and relief washed over Christian's body. She was right. It felt so good to have written all of it down on that balloon and release it. He watched it until it disappeared and then turned to Trinity and thanked her for giving him the balloon and marker. They talked for a few minutes more until he realized his grandma and mother were waiting for him. She told him he could come back again if he wanted and that she always did it at sunset because she remembered watching the sun go down with her parents on their porch swing with she was younger. He agreed to come back and hurried home; he had much to think about.
  15. Tina: You guys need to change into your normal clothes now. All of them, except Whitney change. Whitney (thought): Why do we have to change? Everyone except Tina and Whitney: Huh! Whitney: What? Felicia: Did you say something? Whitney: No! Felicia: Then who said why do we have to change? Tina: No one said it. They turn to Tina, but as soon as they open their mouths, she raises her hand. Tina: No one said, but it seems Whitney thought it. Emma: We can read each others thoughts. Tina: Yeah, but only when they want you to hear it. Emma: Cool! Respond to what I think Amy. Emma closes her eyes, breathes in, and then opens them. Emma (thought): This is so cool. Amy (thought): I know! Emma: Awesome! Tina: Make sure you don't use your powers or think all the time. Because everything you do affects your power and will drain the rings if you use them and they aren't activated, at least until you are strong enough, but hopefully by then you won't need them anymore. You'll be able to use your power or change what you look like without even needing them. Leah: What is they get lost or are stolen until then? Tina: Then you can use another ring to find yours. Emma: Can we find anything else that's lost or stolen? Tina: Yes, but only use them to find the rings. Come on now girls, before we close. They begin cleaning normally until Whitney puts on a radio and then they begin fooling around and using their powers to clean up. Emma uses vines, Leah uses her flying powers, and Amy uses gusts of wind to put cds in a pile. They all giggle about it, until one of Amy's piles of cds falls. Leah was on the ground below so she puts her hands above her head, which activates her force field. She then begins to stand up and then put it back in a nice stack. She then uses her power to put them away. Emma: That was awesome Leah! Hey, your ring is glowing. Leah: Yours too. Amy: So is mine. Leah: Why are they doing this? Tina: They are glowing because of how you three have improved with your powers. Whitney: Too bad for us. Tina: Don't fret. Yours will too. When the ring is in full glow that means that you have full control of your powers. Amy: What time is it? Leah: Where did the clock go? They all look up on the wall above the storage door. Tina: They took it! Leah: Why? Tina: To remind us. Leah: Of what? Tina: They wanted us to always remember that our time is limited. Amy: Well, I'm not worried! Emma: Yeah! They can't separate us. We're a team. Amy: Yea Team Awesome. While they talk, Leah slips out the door. Tina sees her. Whitney: That's correct! They'll never beat us. Felicia: And we can't forget about our magnificent leader. They look around. Felicia: Wait! Where did she go? Tina: You guys can go talk to her. I'll be fine here. She went that way. Tina points with her left hand. Emma: We'll see you later! They begin going to the door. Tina: Remember not to tell anyone! They go out the door and see Leah walking around the corner. Whitney: There she is. Emma: Let's go! They begin running after her until they finally catch up with her. Emma: Leah! Leah turns around and sees them. Leah: Hey, I'm sorry I left without saying good-bye. Felicia: What's wrong Leah? Leah: Nothing. Amy: If it's about you going out with my brother, I'm fine with it. Emma: And we're worried to about the final battle. Leah: It's not about those things. Whitney: It's not? Leah: No! I mean yes! Kind of. Emma: Then what is it about? Leah: I'm not used to having friends or a boyfriend or being part of a group. Emma: How come? Leah: Growing up, I traveled a lot to other countries, so I wasn't able to make friends. The people I did meet spoke a completely different language. Felicia: What about school? Leah: I was homeschooled. I've never been used to talking with other people and hanging out. When you called us a group, I felt really weird and had to get out of there to think about all of this, but I wasn't ditching you. I will fight those monsters and help you stop them. Whitney: We know. We're sorry. We didn't know. Leah: I should've told you. I'm sorry. Emma: I have a wonderful idea! How about you name our group. I mean, we need a name. We're like superheroes. Felicia: That's a good idea Emma! Leah: That's ok! You guys can name it. Amy: Sorry, but you’re the one who has to. You're our leader. I mean remember what I said? Team Awesome. That is lame. Leah: We don't need a leader. All of us should be the leaders. Emma: No! We need one leader. All in favor of Leah being the leader, say aye. Everyone: Aye. Leah smiles and realizes there is no point in fighting them. Leah: Thanks guys! I feel better now. Amy: You're welcome boss! They laugh. Leah: Well, I should probably go home and get ready for my first date. Or is it my second? Whitney: It's your first. That other thing wasn't planned. Felicia: Alright, but first you have to give us a team name. Leah: Fine! How about... the Elementals? Felicia: That's perfect, but what about you? Leah: What do you mean? Felicia: Well, your power isn't an element. Amy: Like Emma's mother said. Emma: Yeah, but my mom said she didn't know the total extent to her power. Amy: Yeah and what about the boy in our group! All he can do is move really, really fast. Leah: We need to find him guys. He can help us in the final battle. Whitney: I say we should give him a name. Leah: No, we should let him. It is his power alone. Whitney: Fine! Leah: Well guys, I’ve got to go! I have a date with a boy. Amy: Please don't tell him about the way I feel. Leah: How did you know I knew? Amy turns around and looks at Emma. Emma: Guilty! I'm sorry Leah! Leah: I don't mind as long as Amy doesn't. Amy: Oh, I'm fine! It's good he has a girl in his life again. Leah: Alright! If you're absolutely sure. Amy: Yes. Go on, Get out of here! Leah: Thanks! Bye ya'll! She turns and begins walking away. You then see her at her house. You see her trying on clothes and makeup. You then see the clock; it is almost time (8:30), so she leaves. You then see Jay. He sees his clock (8:30) and so he leaves. When he goes out the door, he sees someone driving away on his moped. Jay: Hey! The guy zooms away, Jay then begins to run after him, but is unable to catch up. The thief starts laughing and Jay gets angry and begins running again. This time he realizes he can move fast. He catches up to him and rips him off his bike and gets on and stops it. Jay: Whoa! He drives back to the thief. Thief: I'm sorry man! How did you do that? What's wrong with you? Jay: Shut up! He then picks the guy up and begins to run with the thief to the police station. Two police see the thief handcuffed to the lamppost. One of them sees their cuffs missing after a gust of air guides them to the sight of the thief. Thief: I'll talk! I'll talk! But no more running. You're making me dizzy. Officer: Alright! Uncuff him! You see Jay running again. He runs all around NY and blows newspapers off their stands and coffee and food and clothes to fly as well. What he doesn't know is that Tina was leaving the store and saw him with his power when he slowed for a second, so she hurries back in the store. He then receives a call on his cell phone from Tina, so he stops running and pulls out his phone. Jay: Hello!
  16. if only our tongues were made of glass...how much more careful we would be when we speak

  17. You did real well with your descriptions. I saw a clear picture of the scene and the events that occurred throughout the story and I enjoyed how you led the scene up to what the story was really about. Thank you!

He thought that was probably what had happened because it was slowly ascending and with no breeze like their was early, it should've been higher up by now. He shrugged and jogged back home. He ate supper, thanked his grandma for letting them come and for supper, before retiring to his room to go to bed. He slept most of the next
  19. I love stories that have a deeper meaning behind the words of the creator. I think you did a great job in creating a story in which the reader can identify its purpose. I understand what Velox meant by the veteran one day being on the streets and the next with the carriage. I'll just assume it isn't a very grand carriage, but rather old and just functioning. Still, I enjoyed the story very much. Thank you!
  20. cant wait for school Tuesday :)
