“What kind of cake would you think he’d like?” said Jay. “I think he would like anything but Marmite,” said Lily. “Are you sure? I thought he loved marmite?” said Max. “Not anymore,” Lily said confidently. “Alright, I just don’t want to bake the wrong cake.” said Jay. “Let’s get to it then!” said Lily all excited. “Finally! We finished!” Yelled Max, “YESSS!” screamed Jay. On the day of the party James asked them “What kind of cake did you bake?” “Vanilla, because it’s your favorite.” replied Lily. “No” he said, “I like marmite.” The three friends sat there stunned.

A long time ago, there was a wide open, beautiful field, and an old couple lived there. One day a man came to the couple, and he told them, “Take your stuff and leave, this is my land now.” Before they did, they said, “Be warned, for if you do harm to the plains, you will regret it.” No one knows what happened to the couple, but the man lived to regret his decision. We don’t know what he did, but he stands there today forced to protect the land from people like him.

In my world, we have been at war with aliens for 20 years. Most humans are now servants, and any that aren’t slaves are in hiding. I was born in a secret city underground with others who escaped the aliens. I am seven years old and live with my brothers. Three hooded figures just walked into the city and everyone was terrified. Two are clocked in black and one in orange. The orange one spoke first, “Fear not, for we are not your enemies. We ask for your help to put an end to the aliens’ reign!”

When I was out on my deck  watching the sunset, I saw a brown balloon float over into my backyard. I was curious about the color of the balloon because never in a million years had I seen a brown-colored balloon. I went to go get it and saw a note attached to it. As I opened the note, I saw it was written in a different language. I went inside and opened up my chrome book. I took a picture of the note and got it translated. What it said left me frightened.
