Badger
by Ryan

Today Mrs. Eldridge told us tragic news, in 30 days all the ice caps will be melt and so all of North America will be covered with 30 feet of water. So we have to make a plan to save our family’s. I’m going to take over the huge Badger ship for my family, and for food I will buy 10,000 boxes of poptarts. Plus I will buy 100 gallons of fresh ice cold water. I will have a bathroom and electricity on the boat. Then I will have my friend Camo take all the water to Africa, and let Africa deal with it.

I heard today on the news that three monster trucks were driving around the north pole until they hit the polar ice caps. The three monster trucks are Gravedigger, Destroyer, and the great legendary Bigfoot. But, oh wait there is another one heading for them, watch out!!!!!! Bammmmmmmmm!!!! As you can see the ice is flowing very fast. We just got an update that the other monster truck is Tom meents in Goldberg. We just got another update that tom meents is nowhere to be found. And here come the fire fighters, police, and the rescue fighters.

As you can see people from all over town are here to stop the flow of water. We just heard that all the drivers are safe and sound.

WATERWORLD
by TODD

The world is turning into Atlantis in less than 30 day. I found out by it was raining in the last 7 days.

The food that we would eat is fish, whales, sushi, and shrimp. The way we might catch them by fishing on a big fishing boat. Then we would eat them row.

I might like it to morph and develop gills. I could swim faster than a human. I could stay underwater for the rest of my life.

The danger might leak upon us is the sharks. Sharks are the dangerous animals that can kill you jellyfish are the most poisonous fish in the deep blue sea.

For the electricity we might have to use hydroelectric power. We would use electric eels if we have too. Also have pressurized underwater houses. Go out and go to the bathroom for the boys.

The supplies I might want is fishing poles, nets, swimming lessons, and a life jacket. Swimming is the most important thing to learn. You might need 5 or more life jackets for the family.

Living underwater might be interesting thou, but you might need lots tanks of air for the family.

Super Underwater City
by Zach

This is News reporter from Nine &Ten News. The world is going to be flooded tomorrow. Bad rainstorms are tomorrow. What will happen?

When we get flooded we need to live under water. I think we could live in an under water city. But we’re going to have to watch out from other dangers like sharks, giant squids and jelly fish. We will have to use electric spears to kill fish and shrimp. We would drive in water mobiles. They look like a bubble with a motor.

Our city is covered by an electric shield bubble. We would use electricity by putting eels in light bulbs. We would have morph machines so we would have gills so we could breath under water. For money we would use sand dollars. For war we would have an army of eels. It would be fun.

It happened by cars burning up the ozone layer. I heard it from my teacher. I would manage with my family and friends, but not by my self. I would get the food with my friends. With family I would get the boat. By my self I would go to Australia. Also by my self I would get nothing because I would make a robot that can fly, swim, walk, and do other stuff, but it would probably run out of batteries. Other than that I’d probably get eaten by a shark, or get swallowed by a whale, or fall off the boat and drown, or have a leak in my boat.

Water World
Travis

Humans and fish live side by side. The humans eat. Some times the fish. There was a flood that destroid the lands and only people and marine life can live. We knew that the flood was coming so we gathered seed’s and animals for survival. They made a city called Atlantis. Some people live in submarines.

Water World

Introduction

One day the oceans would over flow for some reason, the news even said. I am underwater because all of the water from the mountain peaks melted down and flooded the land. This is how it went. After it all flooded we [my family] almost drowned. It was horrible. I thought it was a dream but it wasn’t! We had to try to adapt to the water but it didn’t work.

These are things you should know about the story: there are deadly jellyfish waiting till they can eat us, and I really have to go to the bathroom!!

Chapter 1 Horror

My brother and I woke up for school like a normal day. Then looked out side in my backyard and saw my cat and my dog sitting next to each other and my cat looked like he was going to eat my dog… wait I don’t have a cat. It was just a Great White shark. Hold it a Great White shark in my back yard… RUN!!!!!

Chapter 2 The Flood

The shark was getting closer and closer… how is their a shark in my back yard? Why is my dog swimming around in the backyard? Wait a second and why is there water flooding my backyard? I went downstairs and there was three feet of water on the floor. Now this is getting pretty SCARY!

Chapter 3 Black out

Then all of the sudden all I mean all of the electricity went out! The house was pitch black. We tried to call my grandma to see if she was ok but we couldn’t call her. We went to the car so we wouldn’t be late for school. When we got out side we were under water it was fun but scary at the same time.

We finally got to school but nobody was there except for a a a … oh no it’s the Great White shark. What should we do asked my little brother Braden? I said Braden I don’t know.

Chapter 4 On the run

After that we ran and I mean we ran we ran as fast as we could wait we can't run we swam as fast as we could and it was hard. Then all of the sudden I started forming some scales and instead of legs I formed a fin too. It was really weird. I was getting really really freaked out. My brother stared turning into a merman and I was a mermaid. My brother was a little freaked too.

Chapter 5 Merland

All of the sudden when we got back to our house everyone was a mermaid or a merman. My brother and I lived like merpeople it was really fun. We finally got use to the water and we lived in the water for the rest of our lives. Unless the water dries out but I don’t think it will. This was the best adventure so far.

Introduction

One day the news said the oceans would overflow and blast all over the world and flood. The water would go all over the place, in stores, amusement parks, and any other place you can think of. Then one night it happened. It happened so fast I can hardly remember.

These are some things you should know before reading this story. There is a deadly shark waiting for lunch to come by, no food, or oxygen… wait a second I’m telling all of the good things.

Chapter One: Shutdown

One day the news forcast suddenly shut off, the big tree in our yard fell on the ground and smashed. I also saw a huge mountain that was moving , wait a second mountains don’t move. It got closer and closer, whew, it was just a big huge wave heading toward us. WHAT, a big wave, call the fire department, call the police. By the time I got to the phone it was too late. Water came rushing in like a big crowd of people. I didn’t know what to do, until I remembered the news telling us our city would not go down the drain. I remembered my dad telling me he would always be there with me no matter what. With that I knew the city and I would survive no matter what.

Chapter Two: Waiting

All I could do was wait. Wait until the flood was over. So I waited and waited but the water just kept getting higher and higher. First my ankles, next my knees, oh no my waist, after that my chest, Help its over my heeee…

Two days later

I don’t know how this happened but I think I am starting to get used to this new place. I also am not floating to the top of the water like usual. Another event that is happening is creeping me OUT. I think we are growing gills or something because I am starting to feel like I can breathe underwater. Our city thinks this under water place is really looking good. My house looks kind of like this.

I know, I know my house looks funny. The outside is made of seaweed and the inside is made of soil but it sure keeps me warm. And , did I tell you that I have a pet fish. My fish is kind of big for its age but he sure is smart. What , what’s that you say? How old am I well I am in 7^th grade so I am 13 years old. My name is Kelly by the way. My mom and dad died when I was five. So now I have foster parents, their names are Mr. and Mrs. Kingsly. Mr. and Mrs. Kingsly are very nice to me. I like them a lot. The only child they had ever lived with is me.
