After the next day dad was painting the wall and after 2 week it never happen again and everything was normal again.     

It was the middle of summer in 2025 and the Anderson family had just moved into their new house, it looked very old and was very creaky.  The three brothers ran into the house Steven, Maxwell and Duane looked around the house and they all said “EWWWWW”, right after they said that another child walked in it was a girl and her name was Roxanne.

“Why did you guys say eww” Roxanne asked looking around the house.

“Look at this place it looks like it was made in 100 B.C.” Maxwell said disgusted.

“Your mom and I just thought that we could make the most of it” said the father Alex.

“I saw a pool nearby we could go there as soon as we finish unpacking” Alex said trying to lighten up the mood.

“Yeah we can go to the pool, YAY” said Sara the mom trying to help Alex.

“I’m gonna go chose a room” Then he stomped upstairs and chose a room all the way at the end of the hall.  

Once they had all finished unpacking they went to the pool.  When they got there Max got mad because he did not want to go to the pool so he pushed Steven into the pool and tackled Duane into the pool he tried to push Roxanne in but she jumped into the pool by herself then Steven pulled Max into the pool by his foot.

Then a kid came in and he went to Max to say hi.

“Hi ma name is Liam, I just moved here from Ireland.  What’s your name” He asked.

“Shut up” Max said angrily and he gave Liam a uppercut straight to the jaw Liam didn’t even flinch.

Then Liam’s face went from happy smile to an evil grin and cracked his knuckles and his neck at that point Max’s face went from an angry face to a pale paper white face then Liam gave Max a few punches to the stomach which knocked the air out of him and gave him an uppercut and he went up a little and fell into the pool.

“Not the best idea now that you think about it eh mate?” Liam said with a smirk on his face he wasn’t even breathing he didn’t even break a sweat.

All the other kids were looking at Liam with their jaws on the ground, Max was on the ground groaning in pain, Liam was happy that none the parents saw it so he helped Max up.

Later that week Liam went to the Anderson’s house to play video games the parents had gone shopping and to eat. Then the kids heard the doorbell ring they all froze except for Liam, Liam got up and went to the door and opened it a boy came in.

“Who is that?” Max said.

“ This is my friend.” Liam said.

“Hi” Carlos said shyly

Carlos was saying that Liam invited him to go to their house to play video games, Steven saw that Carlos had a video game controller then he told him that he could hook his controller up to their console so that they could all play then it started to get hot but their A/C did not work so they opened a few windows Max went all the way upstairs to a room with a wallpaper that had a bird design on it.  This place is weird Max said to himself.

He opened the window and went back downstairs, they all were playing video game until they got hungry, Steven went to the kitchen to see what they had and then a few minutes later he came back with chips and salsa.

They were all eating then they started to get cold, Steven went around the house closing all the windows and he told Max to go close the windows he opened.

Max went upstairs and saw a room with a whole bunch of video games and grabbed all of them and went downstairs he yelled that he had found a whole bunch new video game none of them cared how he got them they just started playing all of them one by one.  A few hours later they had finished the chips and had finished playing all of the video games and they were all sleeping then it was night.

“RRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG”

They all jumped up and went to the phone Steven picked it up thinking it was his parents, … BUT IT WASN’T.

An old man with a very deep creepy raspy voice said “ Your house is haunted and there is one person that is worthy of being their leader and one of you was a coward.”

Steven threw the phone down and said that it was probably just a prank and to not panic and that their parents were gonna be home soon so they just went back to the living room to go to sleep but they were all scared so Steven got everyone to play video games to take their mind off of the call.  Then a few minutes later they heard a big bang and they all got startled but Steven stood up and went upstairs they were all saying “Don’t go up there”, but he went up anyways.

Each time Steven took a step the ground would start making noises he walked up to the third floor to a room with a wallpaper with the design of a bird then he saw that there was something on the ground it was a very big rock he saw that the window was open and he closed it and he also saw that on the wall one of the birds was peeling off, he thought it was just the wind so he went back down the stairs and told everyone it was ok, then he went to Max and said “You told me that you close the window but you didn’t”

“I got distracted and what made the big bang.” He asked.

“It was a rock.” Steven told Max.

“But when I was there there wasn’t a rock.” Max said.

“What” Steven said with a scared voice.

Then Steven went straight to the phone and called his mom’s phone but she didn’t answer he called again but she still didn’t answer. Steven told everyone to go to the living room.

Max ran out the house saying “I’m leaving see ya never”

The man on the phone was right Max is the coward he told them all to run outside but it was too late the house spun around like a tornado and disappeared into thin air the parents and the kids were never seen again but there was one kid that survived Max he was the only one who lived to tell the tale of what happened on the night of August tenth 2025.

And it all began when someone left the window open.

It was 1680, Spring, an evil Wizard was living in the house on maple street. He had a lot of potions and spells that can be dangerous or safe. Then suddenly he saw a Dove in the window. The Wizard opened the window and saw a Dove. He brang the Dove into house to duplicate the Dove. The Wizard had an EVIL plan. First he put the Dove into the duplicator machine. After that he got some potions and spilled it into the Dove. Suddenly the Dove had so much powers that he was out of control. Then the Dove duplicated 100 million. The Wizard was shocked, her plans were ruined. The 100 million doves attacked the Wizard. The Wizard had died and the doves taken over.

It was 1980, Spring, Luigi moved into the house on maple street. He was kind of scared because of his mansion that he used to own with ghosts in it. Luigi checked all the rooms to see if there was ghosts. But only one room had wall papers of 100 doves. Then he closed the door and went downstairs to the kitchen to eat. After Luigi ate then he went to his brother’s house in the city, Mario.

It was afternoon Luigi came back home, but he felt something breezy upstairs in the room with wall papers of 100  doves. He went upstairs and opened the door to check the room. Then he saw a window open. Luigi was kind of scared, it all began when someone left the window open. So almost everyday the window opens up when he comes back from home and he had to close the window.

The next day Luigi putted some cameras to see who keeps on opening the window. After he came back from the restaurant he rushed upstairs to get the camera, came back downstairs to see what happened. But nothing happened or nobody opened the window. The only thing that he can think of, Professor E. Gadd. He called Professor E. Gadd to come to his house. Professor E. Gadd was a scientist and an inventor. He built the Poltergust 3000 which he gave it to Luigi (The Poltergust 3000 is a vacuum cleaner that sucks thing and can turn into a backpack). He waited about 6 hours, then somebody knocked the door.

Luigi opened the door and saw Professor E. Gadd with his backpack. They went into the living room to talk. Luigi told everything what happened but Professor E. Gadd can’t help because he has other jobs to do. The next day he went upstairs and into the room silently. Then Luigi saw a Dove in the window. Suddenly the Dove opened the window with its powers. After he opened the window Luigi closed the door silently. He was shocked but it was battle time.

Luigi got his Poltergust 3000 and went upstairs. He opened the door silently but he did not saw anything except the window opened. He looked  out the window then suddenly he felt so much shake in the house. Luigi thought it was an earthquake but it was the house moving up, he was super scared. While it was going up he closed every window but he kept on falling because he was in air. Luigi went downstairs and saw a staircase going down. He never saw the basement before. So he was going to check the basement.

When he went to the basement he felt that he was in space. He went to the window and saw the planet earth. Then he saw a Dove sitting in an engine with a timer. The timer was in 1 minutes and Luigi had to stop it. The only problem was the Dove. Luigi tried to punch at the Dove but he teleported and hit Luigi. Luigi was dizzy and the Dove teleported nowhere. Suddenly the timer was in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, KABOOOOOM.

Then Luigi woke up in the sand. He was surprised that he was in earth and he survived the explosion. He stood up but he didn’t know where he was. So he explored the island. Luigi saw a bridge in the forest with a sign that says HAWAII. Luigi had never went to Hawaii. Then he went through the bridge. Luigi kept walking and walking but saw two paths. The one on the left says Clean way and the one on the right says Dirty way. Luigi chose the Dirty way because someone might have switched the direction. Luigi checked the Dirty way and clean. But the Clean way was dirty. So he switched the directions in their right position and moved on to the Clean way.

After he went in the Clean way Luigi saw a big town. There were a lot of people shopping, swimming, and more. Then he saw a Dove teleported by somewhere. Luigi had its chance to catch the Dove but he teleported nowhere again. At night Luigi went to the motel and got a room to rest. He got his Poltergust 3000 and got some food to eat. He packed his stuff for tomorrow’s adventure. Then Luigi went to sleep like a rock.

At morning Luigi woke up, ate, and got ready for his next adventure. Today he talked to some people to ask where the airport was. He went to the airport to get his ticket and got on the plane. He was going back to Maryland. After the 8 hours, 32 minutes ride to Maryland he got off the plane. Then he rushed out of the airport to go to the house on maple street. But he had to call someone to pick him up. So he called Mario and Luigi waited for about 4 hours. Then Mario came with a fancy car. Luigi got in the car with his Poltergust 3000. He told Mario to go to his house.

After 2 hours of driving Mario dropped him off in Luigi’s house. But there was no house, it was just dug house. Luigi turned around and Mario’s car was gone. He remembered that he had a car too. Luigi ran to the parking lot to see if there was his car. Then he saw his car sitting in the middle of the parking lot with no cars parked. He went to his Poltergust 3000 and got his car key. Luigi got into his car but there was no gas. Luigi pushed his car for 1 hour then saw a gas station. But he was too tired to put the gas in the car. So he began to go to sleep in the car.

In the afternoon somebody knocked a lot on the window in Luigi’s car and he woke up. Luigi opened the window then asked the person what time it was. The person did not respond him because he was mad that he slept in the car by the gas station. Then he got surprised because he slept for 4 hours. So he went out the car and got the gas from the gas station to put it in the car. After his car had gas, he paid for the gas and drove quickly back into his old home.

When he arrived to his old home he went inside to check if someone was inside. But then Luigi got teleported in the park and there was the Dove, watching Luigi. Suddenly the ground began to shake, the Dove had white eyes. But it was not an earthquake, it was the earth splitting apart in half. Then Luigi turned on his Poltergust 3000, easy, to suck the Dove. But it did not work so he turned on medium and the Dove was almost in the Poltergust 3000. Then Luigi turned on hard but the Dove was on the tip of the vacuum. As the earth was splitting apart, Luigi pressed the EXTREME button on the Poltergust 3000 and sucked the Dove inside the Poltergust 3000. After he sucked the Dove, he turned off the vacuum then saw the Dove stuck in the Poltergust 3000. But the earth was still splitting apart.

People were screaming and freaking out. Luigi kept thinking and thinking then got a solution. He turned on the EXTREME button on the Poltergust 3000 and tried to pull the other half of the earth to stick it together. Then the problem was solved. 1 hour later everybody was happy.

Luigi got a new house and told Mario to live here with him.

“Yes” Mario said.
1 years later Luigi and Mario were heros. They had to save Princess Peach because Bowser always kidnaps her.

In 2017 there was 3 flashy kids lived in the household and there names were   Jamie,Jason,Kevin. They all loved soccer and practiced everyday. They all loved the game  FiFa 17  and always played whenever they had time. The next morning was there game day for soccer. There team was called champions united and Kevin scored half the goals. The other team name was fc lions they beat them every year and they made fc lions cry every year that they roll around like little babies . Champions united had  became world champs because they were undefeated and qualified to the finals on columbus day. The flashy boys had the time of their lives Because their whole team scored and surprisingly the goalkeeper even scored.

In 2018 The flashy boys always wanted to look nice has came and so The *flashy* boys can look *flashy* so they had their rooms organized and make it *flashy* clean. The next day came and the three boys went to  third floor bedroom  so they can go clean up the room because it’s  dusty a

The Third Floor Bedroom

By: Abdi

It all began when someone left the window open, this is the tale of the third floor bedroom.

There once was a girl named Stephanie McLain. She was the princess of Gardenia. She was the daughter of Ashlie and Luke “Luck” McLain, the king and queen of Gardenia. She had long blond hair with a silver highlight with blue eyes that made all of boys in the land swon. She wore the same thing to school everyday (because she has 2,000 made in the same things for each day), a dress that has a pink top and blue skirt and a black jacket that read ‘Property of the McLain’s’ and purple tube socks with a rainbow headband. Every day, her butler, Willfred (but the McLain’s call him Willy), that drives her to school in her limo. Stephanie went to Einstein Academy where she’s the top in the whole school.

One day back from school,

“Willy, when are we going to go home. I need my massage and I need it NOW!”Yelled Stephanie louder than a lion on a empty stomach.

Willfred wanted to pull over and throw her out of the limo,”We will be home right away your majesty”

“Thank god, finally,”Sighed Stephanie in relief.

As they pulled up to the castle, the wonderful Stephanie got her blue and black purse and headed for the door. The silver and gold living room with a Samsung 110-inch TV right in the center of the room was shining like diamonds while the maids were cleaning the floor and she went to her room. Her room was filled with the most expensive toys and clothes. She plopped on her Sleep Mattress, which she always adjusted according to her mood, but she went to her desk to do her homework.

What is the square root of pie?

A.5

B.37

C.all of the above

Stephanie thought for 10 seconds, (a new record), and finally went to Willfred. After she came back from making Willfred do her homework for her, she watched TV downstairs.

“MOTHER,”Stephanie yelled louder than ever.

Her mother was curling her hair,”WHAT”

“I’M GOING TO GO TO THE STORE AND GETTING NEW CURTAINS FOR THE THIRD FLOOR BEDROOM”Yelled Stephanie as loud as she could.

“OKAY, JUST DON’T GET ROBBED”

As she approached the shops, she noticed a store saying, “Magic Jack’s Magic and Furniture Store” that caught her attention. She walked into the store where she saw a boy about 12 years old, (as old as her), wearing a name tag that said ‘Hello my name is Magic Jack” and a fake mustache.

“Ah, a new customer. Would you like…..”His voice trailed off as he saw the princess.

He fixed his mustache and said, “Your majesty, I was waiting for your arrival”

She was pleased that he was waiting for her, but she said loud and proud, “Fetch me your finest curtain and it better be not boring”

Magic Jack ran all the way down the hall, and 5 minutes later, he came back panting with a beautiful curtain that was the color of the sky on a nice spring day and white doves.

“I’ll take it,”Stephanie said with all her attention on the curtain.

Magic Jack looked at the princess in worry and said, “Be careful of what you say to the curtain. It has powers that are untold,”

Stephanie was out the door when he finished talking.

An hour had passed since the princess was at the store. She had gone downtown to see all of the people that adore her. After all of the meet and gifts, (that is where the people of the kingdom meet the royal family and give them gifts), she came home to see that everyone who works in the castle were going in groups and dispersing, which means leaving the group, Stephanie was confused and thought,

What the heck is going on up in here? Is there like a party that I was not informed about?

She ran up the thousands of stairs until she found her mother’s room.

“MOTHER! WHAT IS GOING ON!”Yelled the beautiful, majestic, and annoyed princess, then she remembered that 2 hours, 12 minutes, and 13 seconds ago that there was going to be a ball where everyone in the kingdom will come and meet the loving people that rule the kingdom. She was so excited because her all time favorite BFF, Katie, was coming so she rushed to the third floor bedroom and put the new curtain on.

“You better be a crowd pleaser, or you will be replaced with the old one,”Said Stephanie. The curtain glowed, but she left as soon as possible to go get ready.

It was 9:00 pm when the beautiful, and majestic princess came down the steps.

“Here ye here ye, all rise to King Luke, Queen Ashlie, and Princess Stephanie of Gardenia,”The announcer announced. As the the people of the kingdom rose to the arrival of the royal family. She walked elegantly down the stairs and ran to her best friend.

“OMG girl, you look fab!”

“Thanks, it’s made from silk all the way from Australia,”

The girls were having a fashion conversation, the third floor bedroom curtain was only blue with no doves anymore, all of the doves were all through the castle and through the kingdom.

“AAAAAAAAA”

“WERE ALL GOING TO GET POOPED ON”

“RUN FOR YOUR LIVES”

Everyone was running throughout the kingdom, so Stephanie went to the only person who knows about the curtain, Magic Jack.

As Stephanie approached Magic Jack’s store she wondered why did he not warn her, (he did, but she didn’t listen), but she forgot all about that when she entered the store.

“Help me, the curtain doves are terrorizing the kingdom!”Stephanie pleaded to the boy.

Magic Jack looked at the princess with a bored face and said,“Let’s go”

As the people were freaking out over doves, the two kids made use of their time and made them selves magic dove catchers. The two ran through the kingdom catching the doves and eventually put them back in the curtain.

“Thanks for helping me catch them”Said the tiered princess.

“Your welcome, and i’ll be taking the curtain you know, so that this happens never again”Replied Magic Jack.

2 days later, the kingdom was cleaned up and no one was pooped on. And the princess now is nice because of the ‘incident’.

THE END
