Author's comment: I wrote this back when I was 10. And on the first page there was a dedication! This little story was dedicated to my grandpa and my mom because I love them!!! LOL.
Once upon a time, there were two evil mice who lived in the wall of a house. They stole food from the other mice or from the kitchen. Why? Because they didn't like to work. One day the girl of the house brought a dog with her, when she opened the door another mouse went in the house. The new mouse asked the evil mice: "Can I stay with you until I find a new home?" The evil mice, whose names were Jerry and Dixie were astonished. Dixie said: "No! Get out of here!". So the poor new mouse left, thinking: "Where am I going to live?". Suddenly he heard a scream! It was the mother of the house, she had seen him! Then the girl saw him too and joined her mother in all the screaming. The dog trapped the mouse in his mouth and took off. The evil mice, who were very nosy, came out of their wall to see what was going on. When they saw what had happened to the new mouse they felt so bad for him that they decided to save him and let him live with them.
After that episode the evil mice stopped being evil and began working for their food and they also learned to share.

Author's comment: This story was born after I had a dream that I lost one of my dolls in the sewers. I was 10 when I wrote this. It's very random. Here we go!

There once was a girlwho lived in an orphanage. Her name was Desiree. She felt like an outcast at the orphanage so she decided to run away. She deicided to climb down a window (with a rope). The next day everyone went searching for her, but there was nothing left of her (in the area of course).
Desiree was walking not really knowing where to go, her only doll in hand. Suddenly, she saw some people working in a hole on the street. When they left she saw they had left a small canoe behind she also discovered that the hole they had been working on was a ctually an underground river. It wasn't a very clean river but there was enough water to travel through it with the canoe. She dumped the canoe through the hole and down the whole she went as well.
Then she began to row and row and row until she fell asleep. When she did, her doll fell in the water. Her doll was alive so (instead of going back in the boat), she began to swim and swim until she found the exit from the underground river. When she did , she went outside to see what she could find.
When Desiree woke up she saw her doll was no longer there, so she began to cry and cry. She also cried because she was scared. She couldn't find the exit and everything was dark, there was only one tiny lightbulb.
After a long while she finally found the exit and made it to the city.She walked around the streets. People were very rude. She got kidnapped but she was able to rather escape quickly. Meanwhile, the doll was at a parking lot. A car almost kills her. After Desiree espcaped from her kidnapper she realized how alone in this world she was without her doll, Stacie. This made Desiree cry and cry and cry. While she was crying she saw a cat almost as big as a tiger. Since she bored and alone she decided to follow it. The cat walked until he got inside a building. The it went inside and got in the elevator. Desiree did as well. When they made it to the upper floor they went inside the office of Dr. Johnson. The Doctor saw her and asked her: "Hae you been crying? Why?". Desiree answered: "Because I lost my doll and I can't find her". While this conversation took place the cat left. The Doctor told the girl that he could find her doll if she found his cat, Warren.
Desiree found the cat quickly but before she could return it to his owner a ver bad man from the street stole the little girl's bag. She was shocked and perhaps confused but she didn't cry this time. Desiree was becoming strong. After that little episode she went back inside the building and inside Dr. Johnson's office. He was already there, with Desiree's doll in hand. Now Dr. Johnson asked the girl: "Where are your parents?". "I don't have parents"-Desiree replied. He decided that he and his wife should adopt her. So they did and Desiree was very happy with her doll and the cat and her new family.
The End.

Author's comment: I was 9 years old when I wrote this one. I wrote it after I had a dream that I was supposed to collect 100 buttons before I turned 15 or I would die! ***BTW I have no idea where I got the name of the store in this story... As a child I was very fond of making up words so I'm pretty sure it's just another made-up word.
There once was a girl named Amelia who had a dress she loved. The print in the fabric of this dress was buttons. This dress inspired her to create an original dress. Her dress would have real buttons sewn to it instead of a print. She didn't have buttons at her house for the dress so she went house-to-house asking for buttons. When her mom found out she got very mad. She scolded her saying: "What are you doing bothering your neighbors? I can take you to a store to buy buttons and thread!". Amelia answered: "O.k mom, you don't have to yell at me". Her mother, Juliet, answered: "Before we go to the store you'll stand in the corner for five minutes, missy". Amelia humbly accepted her punishment.
After five minutes of standing Amelia's mom took her to a store called Telbot to buy the things the girl needed for her dress, buttons and fabric. Amelia chose 100 buttons and three yards of yellow fabric. After they paid for the materials Amelia began running to get to her house quickly. In the process she fell down. Once again her mom scolded her, telling her it was her own fault for being so impatient. When they finally got home Amelia startes sewing like there was no tomorrow. She finished her dress and it came out rather pretty. After looking at the finished product she began sewing the buttons all over the dress.
After she was done sewing all those buttons she showed the dress to her mom and said: "Look mommy, look how pretty my dress is!". Her mom was shocked, she found the dress too extravagant. The next day Amelia put her dress on and went to the park with her mom.

Author's comment: This story is a little bit weird. The main character is a little bit unstable.
Once upon a time there was a little girlwho had to study for a test but hated studying. She sighed: "I have a test tomorrow but I'm not going to do that". Her mother overheard this and scolded her, telling her she had to study. The little girl threw a tantrum. She cried, she screamed. While she was doing this, she thought: "Wait a minute I can pretend I'm studying while mom's looking at me but when she's not I'll play with my toys!" Suddenly she stopped crying and said: "O.k mommy I'll study". Her mom got very happy and kissed her. She took her toys and went to the living room where she them and pretended to study.
She decided she would review what was on her notebook while her mother vaccumed the living room. When her mom left she began playing. After some hours she noticed her mom was cleaning the bathroom quite thoroughly. She asked her mom if she could stop studying and play. Her mom answered: "O.k you can play but first you should take a shower. I'm done cleaning the bathroom. I'll do the laundry now". Listening to her mom made the girl, whose name was Gina, feel stressed so she replied: "Why don't you take a shower yourself?!". This made Gina's mom feel stressed so she began scolding and yelling at Gina. She told Gina that she had to shower and that after she showered ahe had to go stand in the corner. Once again these things were making the little girl feel very stressed. She hated school, she hated showering and above all she hated THE CORNER. But she decided that she would do the right thing this time. She took a shower. However when she was done dressing up she told her mom she was tired of standing in the corner and asked if she could leave the corner already. Since her mom was busy doing the laundry she agreed
At night Gina's mom told her: "It's 8:00pm dear, time to sleep" Gina answered: "O.k, I'll go to sleep". Then she looked around. Her room was a mess. She thought: "I don't want to tidy my room! But above all I don't wanna wash my teeth!!! So I won't do it". She went to sleep. Gina's mom went to her room to check up on her and saw an enormous mess of mega blocks all over the floor. When she was about to wake the girl up she also realized the terrible bad breath that was coming from her daughter. She woke Gina up she made her clean up the mess in her room and she washed her daughter's mouth herself. Then she asked Gina the date of that test she was studying for. Gina told her the test was tomorrow. Her mom asked her if she knew the material, Gina answered: "Of course I do, I studied." Gina's mother trusted her so she read her a story and said goodnight.
The next day Gina's mom woke her up. Gina got ready, she went to school, met up with her best friend Aria, took all her classes and finally it was her last class the class she had a test of! It was science class. Miss Roberts was the teacher. She had dark skin, curly hair, green eyes and always wore a dress. Aria had studied a lot, quite the opposite of Gina. The teacher gave out the exams. Gina was like:"Easy! I know this stuff". So she did the test like whatever and thought: "Aced it".
Gina was the first to give the test back to the teacher, since it had only taken her a few minutes to answer. The teacher decided to grade it right there and now since she wasn't really doing anything on her desk. After a little while she gave it back to Gina, the grade? F. When Gina saw that she threw yet another tantrum. The teacher was surprised, since at school Gina was usually quiet, so she decided she would repeat the test to Gina the next day. When Gina's mom came to pick her up Miss Roberts told her what had happened. Gina told her mom the truth about all her playing around instead of studying. Her mother was quite disappointed. Her daughter had lied to her. But of course she forgave her daughter and helped her study. The next day early in the morning she took the test. The teacher graded it. This time Gina got an A-. She was happy and told her mom she would never do those things again. From now on she'd be a responsible daughter! But of course when she got home she started playing again. This time it was o.k because she had no homework.The next day some other teacher from some other class announced they'd have a test soon. When Gina got home she studied for this coming test. When she was done she took a shower and then she played with her toys.

Author's comment: I wrote this story when I was nine years old for a school contest. I won 3rd place!
I was happy, a tad disappointed though, considering first place is always better... But guess who got 1st place? My sister! So I guess it's all good.

Once upon a time, there was a frog that was always alone. One day he decided to talk to the moon and ask it where he could find some friends. The moon told him: "You will always have me as a friend. You can talk to me every single night no matter where you are. However I believe you should go get other friends".
The next day the frog went on a journey to find friends. It didn't take him long to find a beautiful butterfly who had landed on a daisy. "Do you wanna be friend?", asked the frog. The butterfly answered: "No! You ugly. Plus you could eat me at any given moment, hmph!". The frog left feeling quite down.After many many days of walking through the forest he found a very nice elf. The elf looked at the frog and asked: "Do you wanna be my friend?". The frog happily answered: "With pleasure!". Together they played all day long and talked about their lives. When the moon finally came out at night the frog yelled: "Hello moon! I got myself a friend!" The moon replied: "Oh I'm glad that you have a new friend!"
