When Landon came home from the hospital, Mary had this welcome sign ready for him. We also printed out all of the bunches of emails we received and hung them up for Landon to read. Thanks to everyone who has prayed and continues to pray for him!
Characters: Nick Tooley Mouse, Donney the Clown Spider, Marsey the Alien, and the evil Japanese giant crickets.
Nick Tooley Mouse crossed a golden bridge while taking a walk. Under the golden bridge, he found a big map that lead to treasure!
Nick, Donney the Clown Spider and Marsey the Alien decided to follow the map to the treasure. Nick said, “This map leads to Japan. How can we get there?”
Marsey said, “We could destroy the Earth’s atmosphere, take Mars out its orbit and fly on Mars to Japan!”
Nick responded, “What in the universe are you thinkin’? You’re always full of dumb alien ideas, aren’t you? Aren’t you? AREN’T YOU?!! Now, let’s only have practical ideas that can really happen! My perfect idea is that we go to a mall, buy 3 paper airplanes, fold them up, jump on them and fly to Japan!”
“What?” said Donney. “Neither of your plans would work. I’ve got the best plan ever. We need to spin webs, hang them on the clouds, swing on the webs like George of the Jungle and if you want you can yell, “oye-oye-oye-oye-oye-oye-oye!” as you go! Now that’s a good idea!”
“I wish Mr. Bear was here.” said Nick. “He would know what to do! He would let us use his camper car to fly to Japan.” “I’ve got it,” said Marsey. “I have some other alien friends who would let us borrow their rockets to fly to Japan. How ‘bout me askin’ them?”
Nick Tooley Mouse asked, “How big is your rocket, Marsey?” “It’s bigger than Mr. Bear’s camper car plus 5 spaceballs!” said Marsey. Donney said, “Can’t we all just go in your rocket?” Marsey said, “Of course we can. There’s enough room for all three of us.”
Donney then asked, “We’ll need to eat. What should we pack?” Marsey answered, “My rocket is full of food. But except for five baloney sandwiches, the rest of the food is alien food. So if you don’t like alien food, you’d better pack your own lunch because the trip will take us about 10 hours.” So Nick and Donney packed lunches while Marsey put gas in the rocket and prepared everything else. Now they were ready to go!
When they went into the rocket, Nick asked, “I wonder what’s going on here?” He wondered because it seemed like Marsey not only owned a rocket but he also owned a space station! His rocket was actually a space station that flies! First, Marsey gave the other two lessons on how to fly the main rocket boosters which is what launches the rocket into space. Next, Marsey went to the flight deck and steered the rocket while Nick and Donney watched the rocket boosters. They were off on their adventure to find the treasure!
Using the treasure map and his directions to Japan, Marsey put the rocket on auto-pilot so that he and the others could have some fun. But Nick and Donney had to do one last thing. They had to put an auto-monitor on the rocket boosters. Now it was party time! First Nick danced the “wedgie wiggle.” Then Donney jumped out of a cubby scaring Marsey because Marsey didn’t know where Donney had hidden. Marsey is an alien from Mars who can breathe normally in space, so he left the rocket to catch a star because aliens love to eat stars as dessert. And, of course, everyone knows that stars taste better than the Empire State Building!
Suddenly, all three heard something very strange that made a really, really, REALLY loud cricket chirp. When they went to the window of the rocket they saw a giant cricket. The cricket was so big, it started eating the rocket for supper. Quickly, Nick and Donney put on their space helmets and all three jumped out of the rocket into outer space. For a while, they were “falling with style.” Then they landed in Japan. At first they were unconscious from the fall. But when they woke up, they discovered they were surrounded by 500 giant Japanese crickets!
Then Marsey called 911, but instead of getting emergency services he got Pizza Hut. Marsey said, “Help! There are giant Japanese crickets all around us!”
But the Pizza Hut employee of the month named Bob Esmanatee said, “I am the greatest employee of Pizza Hut. Who dares to interrupt my work when I’m creating the biggest pizza in the world?”
Marsey answered, “Who dares to make pizza at the police station, weirdo!”
“I’m at Pizza Hut. Don’t you know anything?” Bob asked.
Marsey started to ask, “Then what’s the emergen….. Ahhh, a cricket ate my cell phone. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Donney was soon captured by the second biggest cricket because he wanted the spider for supper. Soon Donney was in the cricket’s pocket heading for the cricket’s house. Another cricket captured Marsey and threw him into the ocean. But Marsey, being an alien, had a button on his one arms that turned him into a big boat. So Marsey was safe for now. Marsey told Nick to first go save Donney and then all of them would ride the boat to find the treasure.
Meanwhile at the second biggest cricket’s house, Donney remembered that he could spin spider webs and swing from the clouds. He looked around and saw a hole in the roof (since he was considered awfully small to giant crickets) so he spun a web, and tried to throw it to the clouds but it didn’t work. Especially since it started to rain and the rain knocked him off the web. He could barely move his arms and legs and his antennas were zig-zaggy. He could barely even talk.
As for Nick Tooley Mouse, he began his journey into the mountains looking for Donney, the bravest clown spider of them all. Nick saw something on a branch in a tree on the very tip-top of the mountain. That something turned out to be a big owl that zoomed down to pick up Nick but instead he knocked him off the mountain. As Nick was falling, he landed on the roof of the second biggest cricket’s house. Then Nick saw a hole in the roof. As he looked down into it, he saw Donney laying there in pain. Quickly, Nick jumped through the hole, grabbed onto a counter and he survived. The giant cricket picked them both up with his greasy claws and put them on separate plates. Just as the cricket was ready to stick Donney with a fork, Nick Tooley jumped across the table and knocked the fork out the way. Then he grabbed Donney and carried him out of the house through a mouse hole that he quickly made. The cricket tried to go through the hole too but his arm got stuck. He’s still there today.
Nick had to walk around the mountain to find Marsey waiting in the sea. Nick saw Marsey and jumped into the sea to swim to the boat. He almost lost Donney while he was swimming so he had to hold Donney with one hand and swim with the other one. Finally he reached Marsey. Then they all went to find the treasure. Soon they came to the cave that had an “X” spot. Marsey pressed another button on another arm and he went back to being an alien. Then he helped Donney and Nick dig for the treasure. Then they saw it . . . the big treasure chest full of gold! Soon Marsey turned back into a big boat and they loaded their gold in the boat. As they were leaving the cave, big claws came out of nowhere to try to stop them from keeping the gold. But Marsey was fast and sailed out before anything could harm them. Soon they were on their way back to America.
When they reached San Francisco, they went to an airport and flew all the way home to St. Laughter which everyone knows is a city by St. Louis. Once they were home, the rest of their friends (Alyssa Dog, Dr. Weird, Mr. Bear and The Fox) came to visit them. Nick, Marsey and Donney told their friends about their crazy adventure. Then Nick received phone call. His Aunt Lucy told him that his favorite mouse cousin, Ruthie Tooley Mouse, had disappeared! To be continued!!!
Characters: Nick Tooley Mouse, Alyssa Dog, Mr. Bear, Donney the Clown Spider, The Fox, Marsey from Mars, and Dr. Weird.
One day Nick Tooley went to tell Mr. Bear the good news. Nick, Mr. Bear and the rest of the gang had always wanted to take a long trip but didn’t have a way to do it. Now, Mr. Bear’s house was destroyed but everything was safe. Nick, the luckiest mouse of all mice, went to tell Mr. Bear that the gang bought him a camper car! Nick also said, “I have good news. I just saved $50.00 on my car insurance by switching to Geico!” The seven friends went inside the new camper car . . . and it was weird! It was even weirder than Dr. Weird. And here’s why.
Inside, they went on a rollercoaster called “Sponge Bob,” then on a trampoline, and then on the couch to watch television. All of these events were in the camper car that also had 19 bathrooms! Next, they started their dangerous trip to Tree Limb Mountains in the camper car. But no one drove them there or did someone? Alyssa Dog went to the front of the car.
“No one was in the front!” screamed Alyssa. Nick Tooley, the most particular mouse of all mice, said, “You mean no one IS there.” “So what!” said Alyssa, trying to drive. What she didn’t realize is that the wheel was moving by itself. Or was it?
As they drove up the mountain, they accidentally turned a bunny into road kill. Oops. Then they had a picnic inside the camper car and they ate bunny stew. As they were eating, they flew off the top of the mountain. Everyone screamed, “ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
The camper car landed on the ground and all seven friends survived. Next, they headed to Sue Town, the city where people sue a lot. You get sued a lot here especially if you are a playground bully. So beware.
Once they reached the jungle of Sue Town, the engine on the camper car broke. Then the evil emperor pirates came to get them! They had nasty, bad, rotten teeth that smelled worse than dog poop! Their eyes were yellow and shiny and their noses were big and buggery. Their fingernails were sharper than their teeth.
Nick Tooley Mouse, the smartest mouse of all mice, wanted to fight the pirates but he had to fix a problem first. Since the engine was broken, the door wouldn’t open so he had to break a window with an iron ball. The ball had thorns everywhere. Nick had to replace the window and it cost $300.00. After the window was fixed, Nick went out of the camper car to fight the evil emperor pirates.
Nick punched a pirate and stole the sharpest sword the pirates had. Then Nick, the bravest mouse of all mice, punched the captain with his big fist. The captain fell in the deepest whole. Donney the Spider crafted a huge spider web over the hole so that the captain could never ever get out. Marsey from Mars, one of the seven friends who had been invisible up to this point, now became visible to everyone. Hmm . . . could he be the invisible driver? He called 911 and a mechanic, the most mechanical mechanic of all mechanics, fixed the camper car with his handy ratchet and scissors. Now Marsey was ready to drive home to St. Laughter.
On the way while they were still in the jungle, the friends saw a large “X” in a dirt patch on the ground. Suddenly, Marsey, the silliest alien of all aliens, stopped the camper car. They s-l-o-w-l-y opened the door and stepped out of the camper car.
They began to dig on the spot marked with the “X.” When it began to feel like they had been digging forever, all of a sudden, Dr. Weird (one of the seven friends) discovered treasure! IT WAS GOLD!!!!
Out of nowhere, the scariest earthquake out of all earthquakes hit the jungle. All of the seven friends shouted, “ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” They went back inside the camper car and the earthquake shook them all the way back to St. Laughter.
Once they where in St. Laughter, Mr. Bear decided to drive them to St. Louis. In St. Louis, they used their gold to go to Six Flags. Here they discovered a ride, the most fun ride of all rides, called Mr. Freeze. They rode on Batman. It was the second most fun ride of all rides (barely).
After leaving Six Flags, the seven friends returned to St. Laughter. It was Nick Tooley Mouse’s 38th birthday so they decided to have a birthday party in two days. Then one of the seven friends, Mr. Fox who is a weather fox, warned them that a cyclone was headed their way!
Would Nick Tooley Mouse, the cutest mouse of all mice, have his birthday party? To be continued.
Grrrrrrrrrr! Did I scare you? Huh? This mask was made by an indigenous person. There's another face on the back of the mask. I like the colors in it, especially orange and green!
Now I'm reading "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." I liked Digory and Polly in the first book, "The Magician's Nephew." I thought the English accent in the book was weird especially the word "hullo". Write and tell me what you think!
