Poor Pup

Maybe getting a new puppy was a bad idea. I mean, it seems like she gets into trouble the minute I take my eyes off her. Just the other day she raided the cafeteria garbage cans and literally trashed the floor. It took me like two hours to clean it all up. Now I feel like people are avoiding me because they don’t want to be anywhere near her.

She was supposed to help me make friends, not lose them.

Officer Ward is the only one that doesn’t seem to mind her. She seems to like him, too. At least she doesn’t eat his shoes or growl at him. Maybe he could help me. I mean, she DEFINITELY needs obedience training. I think I’ll go ask him now before she gets herself (and me) into more trouble.

YAY!

I finally got my pet! I listened to all of your suggestions and, after a lot of thought, I decided to get…a…

Puppy!

Trey and I went to pick her out from the pound instead of buying her from a breeder for one big reason:

It feels good to rescue a dog that was abandoned. From now on, Daisy (that’s her name), will always have someone to love her and watch over her. And I will, too.

She’s a mutt (meaning that she’s not a purebred), but I don’t care. To me, she’s the best, most beautiful dog in the world. And she just ate my left shoe while I was typing this. Uh…I have to go.

I want a pet!

I’ve been thinking a lot about getting a pet. I mean, if Erika can have a parrot and Alan can have an alien, why shouldn’t I have something, too?

But what exactly should I get? I mean, cats are cool. They just sort of lie around and snuggle up to you when they’re cold. I like dogs, too, because they’re a lot more affectionate and playful.

What about a snake? I know it’s not the cutest animal, but they feel so soft and they aren’t very hard to take care of. Oh! I could get a ferret! That’s like a furry snake with legs! But I hear that they smell bad…

There are so many options! What do you think I should get?

Um...thanks?

So today I asked Scout what he was going to be for Halloween, and he said he was going to dress up as me! When I asked him why, he just said that Halloween was a time to dress up as something scary, and that I used to be really, really scary to a lot of people.

At first I was really upset. I mean, I know I used to be a bully, but I’m not scary anymore! Right? Instead of dwelling on it, I just laughed it off. I know Scout didn’t mean for it to upset me. I told him that if he was going to be me, I was going to be him! We ought to make a funny pair!

What Now?

Everyone came back two days ago and, I mean, I was really happy to see them…but it really stunk to have to tell them I messed up so bad. It’s bad enough that Zwert got sick, but my worst mistake was that I let all the cyber villains escape! No one said they were mad, but I think that’s because they could tell I felt really bad about it. I tried my best, everybody! I really did! I guess my best wasn’t good enough, though.

I’m not going to give up, though. I’m going to work extra hard to recapture those bad guys! It’ll be a tough semester, but I know we’ll come out on top again.

Poor Zwert!

As if I needed any more stress in my life! Last night I woke up because I heard Zwert whimpering at the foot of my bed. When I turned on the light to see what was the matter, I nearly screamed! Zwert was lying there shivering and covered in these weird blue dots! I don’t know what happened! I ran to Alan’s room to look for any kind of medicine for him, but I didn’t find anything. What I did find was a notebook filled with star coordinates and a laptop loaded with the SETI program.

I hopped on his laptop and sent a desperate message out, hoping that it would reach Zwert’s people. I told them he was very sick and needed help.

Then the room turned bright white.

Next thing I know, I’m sitting at the end of a long table surrounded by big Zwerts! I stuttered a quick hello. The biggest one sitting at the far end of the table stood up and said, “Hello, puny human thing. What have you done to Zwert?”

I told them I hadn’t done anything to him! I just fed him the same things I ate – vegetables, skim milk and whole wheat bread. They looked so angry! “We do not eat such filth!” the big Zwert shouted. “We need healthy foods, like pepperoni, caramel and lard! Where is Alan? He would never let this happen to Zwert!”

I told them that the rest of the Academy was stuck back in 1986 and that they couldn’t figure out how to get home.

“Time travel is no excuse not to take care of one’s friend! We will go back to 1986 and return your fellow cyber defenders. Then we will sit down and have a long talk about Zwert’s dietary needs!”

And then, in a flash, they were gone. I hope they find them quickly! I have to go melt a stick of butter to feed to Zwert. Oh, and catch a handful of the world’s most harmful cyber criminals. Ugh.

Oh No!

They’re gone! They’re all gone! All the cyber criminals in the detention center…I can’t believe it! What am I going to do? It was up to me to keep them locked up and now… What will the other cadets think? And the faculty? Officer Ward is going to be so angry at me! All right, just breathe. I can get them back. I have to get them back.

Once I heard the noise, I went downstairs to make sure all the detainees weren’t trying to escape. Well, they weren’t trying – they had succeeded! All that I found was a note that said “Ahoy landlubber, I’ve conscripted yer prisoners for me crew. YARRRRR, Captain Jack Plunder.” I have no idea how he did it, but I know what I have to do. I have to track all the criminals down and bring them back before they do any serious damage out there!
