Could It Possibly Be? The Mummy Returns

Swiss! The wind blew the travellers vigorously as they stood at the airport ready to take off to Egypt. They wanted to seek a special artefact that was hidden in the ground for centuries.

“Please buckle your seatbelts, this is going to be a bumpy ride” the pilot spoke with horror. “We are landing in 3, 2, 1” The aeroplane struck down towards the sand making it look like a cloud in the sky be thrown about. Not a thing was found until Mariamme one of the scientist, could see and ancient pyramid. Little by little drips of water fell as they were walking. John was the youngest traveller and decided to take a tiki tour around.

He was enjoying alot, infact he wanted to live here FOREVER. There were lots of antiquated paintings on the wall which were written in a different language. John thought it meant treasure ahead but it actually said November is the month when all the mummies come alive. “OH NO” John exclaimed. He was about to get captured by a mummy. He hastily ran the way he came but couldn’t find his way out, it was like a maze.

Approximately 15 minutes passed and all had been doing was screaming HELP. His heart was beating, ba boom ba boom. He needed a miracle in order to get away. “Could it possibly be?” John was extremely relieved. There was a container that was empty and smelt disgusting. Running, stepping, closing, resting everything was all over.

Soon enough the other scientists found John and all travelled back to the airport. Remember, never go wandering around by yourself. Especially when you're in a pyramid

A Day Filled With BOOMS and BANGS

Why Is Guy Fawkes so special? Well Guy Fawkes got its name from a man who fought for the Spanish team in the low countries. He was a member of the English Catholics who planned the failed gunpowder plot of 1605.

It came to the 5th of November 2012 when everyone let off a lot of furious sounds that went BOOM and BANG. My family had just gone out to buy a box of guy fawkes or did they? They said they would searched everywhere for a box of these dangerous bangers.

When they got home I ran towards the van hoping there would be at least 20 bits of sticks or other ones in a round shaped container filled with gunpowder. “Noooo!” I depressingly said as I heard that they all were sold out. My dad had a wonderful solution to this horrible problem. “Here are some from last year” I was relieved when I saw that there were rockets, roman candles and even some cascades.

I went outside and lit all the roman candles. My cousin taught me how to make a bomb just by biting a cascade, putting it in a steady position and lighting it. One side of the cascade was blocked so there was only one way for the force to go out. A big BOOM! made two car alarms go off. We said sorry to the neighbour and off we went.

At the end we just sat and watched the sparkling night sky filled with colors. This was one of the best guy fawkes days ever! and thats what makes guy fawkes so special

This Was The Best Vacation EVER!

Down by the river lived two girls named Alice and Megan. The two girls didn't really get along they had a lot of disagreements! Unfortunately for them both their mothers were best friends, it was almost time for the summer holidays.  Alice had already started coming up with  big plans and so did Megan. Alice crept through the passage, hoping she wouldn't wake her mum she overheard a conversation coming from the living room.

“Maybe we should talk to the girls about this”, Megans mum whispered. “Trust me they’ll be fine, besides they’re 17, they’re teenagers, this trip will make them grow closer to each other, just like we did!” Alice's mum said firmly!

Late that night their mothers called for a meeting. Alice was first on scene, Megan had come in a little bit after her. Liz, Alice’s mum and Chelsea, Megans mum had finally arrived they had files in their hand, which Alice saw to be airline tickets. Liz decided to tell the girls everything.

“You two are going on a trip to Mount Doom, we've paid for all reservations and tickets” Chelsea carried on “And also you two will come back best friends, one more thing... you leave tomorrow at dawn, have a good time!”

5:35 am Alice and Megan’s alarm clock went off, they both rushed around the house, they got all dressed up packed their bags, said their goodbyes and off they went. On the plane, eyes glued to the window Megan couldn't and wouldn't relax! Alice sat there and read the papers her mum gave them, on the front of the paper had a picture of where they were about to go, on the back was a yellow note it said

“We’ve arranged a taxi to pick you up,  just look out for your names it should say Alice or maybe megan  Megan, good luck.”  The plane had finally landed after a 7 hour trip of doing absolutely nothing. Megan and Alice both were very surprised on what they saw.

“Everything I see is is is, nothing compared to the map I have.”

“Welcome to Monte Carlo. I hope you have enjoyed your trip” said a lady behind Megan said.

“ Oh no no ” Megan yelled confusingly “ This is not happening, we did not just get on the wrong plane, we couldn't have!”

“Relax Meg” Alice said with a very calm voice “we’re fine see there's the man with my name on his card, lets go.”

“Wow , look Meg we got a limo” Meg replied “Alice I'm not sure this is our-” “yes, yes this is ours,!” Alice cut of Megans sentence!

“Welcome to your hotel miss Alice” The woman behind the counter said. Alice and Megan we have a room for you, the two just couldn't wait to jump on their bed and have a sleep. Up the stairs they went following the lady.

Alice whispered “Oh my gosh, Megan look at it, it’s awesome”

Megan replied “Wow, it’s beautiful”

a soft voice grew stronger “ Miss Alice, Miss Alice”

“Yes, yes is there anything I could do for you?” Alice said impatiently.

“Miss Alex” The woman kept saying “We didn't know you had guess, would you like us to bring extra to the dinner?”

“Yes please, and if you don’t mind I’d like to have the room to myself for a moment, shuffle on by, if I need anything I’ll be sure to call down!” Alice tried to say with a British accent.

Chocolate on the big fluffy pillows, juice on each side of the bed. Gold coating on the phone. Diamond bath on the left of the bath which looked like a spa. Everything was just perfect.

“Meg, this is what we deserve” she said nicely

Megan replied “ How are we going to get home? Will we be here forever?”

Alice said firmly “Don’t be ridiculous, trust me we’ll make it home, anyway go to sleep we got a big day ahead of us!”

“Goodnight Alice.” Said Megan

Early in the morning Megan woke up, as her eyes slowly opened she saw a man  with his hands of her face with a hot towel. She slowly got up, and as she did the  man gave her the wet towel and directed her to where the shower was, she opened a very large cupboard and out poured cloths and there also was a suitcase, she opened the suitcase and all she saw was make up. She had her shower and it took forever for her to choose what to wear.

Shaking Alice, Megan yelled “ WAKE UP ALICE, come on we have to go”

“I had a lovely sleep Meg, did you?”

As Alice slowly opened her eyes she thought she saw the sun in her room!

“What do you think?” Meg said excitedly

“ I love it,  yellow sun-dress totally your thing!” Alice lied.

Off they went to the beach. They sat on the nice hot sand.  Just as they were going to lie on the sand and try to relax, they hear a voice behind them.

“Excuse me Miss Alice, I've ordered Tanning seats for you please make way for them.”

“Why thank you,  We shall move over, hurry along, I can’t stand here for ages.” Alice said with the fake British voice.

Having a great time swimming, hiking and meeting new people, unfortunately their holiday was over.  No arguing had happened nothing, their mums made it work, the two girls were finally best friends! They caught the flight home. From that day on the girls had grown up just like their mothers best friend’s and they all lived happily ever after.
