From a wedding to the end of the world


In a land full of jubilation and joy, there was much joy and jubilation. Under the new great mayor, Vladimir, the city of Rurik had become bountiful and full of gold, jewels, crops, and other little joys in life that aren't necessary but make you just a little bit happier. Near the end of Novemtober, a wedding was to be held at the local cathedral. This wedding was to be the first wedding between citizens of the city of Rurik and the city of As-minora. A woman of As-minora had been sent from her home town to marry one of the great officials of Rurik. At the cathedral where the wedding was to be held, there live a funny little priest named Finnilwicky. The great priest of As-minora had stepped aside, humbly, allowing Finnilwicky to perform the whole wedding ceremony. The wedding was going quite smoothly and everyone was happy until it happened. The door opened and a foreign traveler with armor and a spear came inside and slumped down in the back seat of the church. The whole crowd turned around and saw this strange man, not even wearing a tie, and showed their displeasure silently. Finnilwicky, himself, was also very displeased. His very, very clean church was now getting dirty at the hands of the traveler. Nonetheless, he continued the ceremony, but then the man started making a racket and started booing the couple to be wed. When the men in the church tried to get the man out, the man attacked them with his spear. The man broke up the whole ceremony and put all of the people except for the priest in the jail, which he had also overran. The priest fell to his knees and wept. What a terrible thing to happen on his first major wedding ceremony. Then the priest decided to go and give the strange traveler a good talking to, but when he went out to talk to that man, he found that the man had put all of the people of the town in jail. When the priest walked up to the traveler, the sky suddenly filled with clouds and lightning started hitting all tall, metallic objects. Then there was a huge whoosh, and the two looked to see a large wave coming directly at them. At the same time, an earthquake rumbled and split the land, leaving only the area where the two were standing in tact. The water from the wave filled in the gap that the earthquake had made. Then the world heated up a whole lot, leading to instantaneous desertification of all the land not already submerged by water. Then a huge blizzard came and froze all the water and then it started snowing. Then the sun went out and the moon started hurtling towards the earth. When the moon hit the earth, the plot of land that the priest and the traveler were standing on shot out into space and turned into an asteroid with an atmosphere, becoming the dwarf planet, New Earth, because the rest of the earth had been blown up, and the traveler and the priest had to live on the same asteroid for the rest of their lives.

Rabk - Part 17

Teatime in the Country
Rabk
Part 17

"Ah! Here we are!" said the Doctor happily as he ran around the console, flipping switches and pressing buttons. "The north road of the City! Off you go then. I can't keep you here." So out the travelers went, into the world. As they walked off from the blue box, a vworping sound came up from the box , and when the four turned around, the box was gone. "So we just go down that way?" asked Burt, pointing down the road. "Yup," said Dodgers confidently. "We need to go right down there." "What? Have you been here before?" asked Beowulf. "Sure I have. I have a friend that lives just down here." Burt look at Rabk with eyes that asked, "Of all the people we could have picked up...", but Rabk shrugged and kept walking. Soon, Dodgers led them to a large, early 19th century mansion. Dodgers walked right up to the front door and knocked. Burt leaned over to Rabk, "How could a lowly thief know people who live in this grand estate?"As Rabk shrugged, the door opened. Behind the the door was a tall, black-haired man with a continually amused look on his face. He looked down at Dodgers and said, "Ah... Mr. Dodgers..." Dodgers tipped his cap. "Jeeves." he responded. Jeeves gazed over at the others, and looked back at Dodgers. "Mr. Wooster was quite... upset... with you the last time you... left..." Dodgers shrugged, "Well, Jeeves--" "...With his car." Jeeves interrupted. The other travelers looked at Dodgers with questioning eyes. Dodgers shrugged at them and then looked at Jeeves. Despite his obvious disapproval, Jeeves allowed them in. He showed the travelers into a lounge and then left. Soon afterward, a thin man burst into the room. Dodgers stood up and took off his hat. "Dodgers, my friend, why must you be so youish?" Dodgers tried to speak, but the man continued, "Last time I let you in here, I thought you were clean, done with your stealing, but no! Now Aunt Petunia thinks that I stole her jewels! Me!" The man slumped down into a chair. Dodgers spoke, "Wooster, I'm terribly--" "And don't try to tell me I'm sorry," Wooster interrupted, "Cause I know you're not." Dodgers gave a devious smile, "You got me there, Wooster" Wooster scratched his forehead and sighed, "What are we going to do with you, Dodgers?" Soon, he noticed the other three and hopped right back up, "Oh, and I see you brought some friends, too! More kleptomaniacs, presumably!" "Actually," said Dodgers, "These are travelers, not thieves a--" "And you want me to host a dinner party for the weak and weary, do you?" "Actually, I was hoping you'd give us a car..." "A car?! What did you do with the last one you took? Eat it? Would you like some chips with that car, sir? Oh, yes and maybe some sauce on it for the looks! No, Dodgers, I can't afford it." "but you have, like, 10 of them!" "Yeah, well I won't have any once you're done with me! I just can't--" "Mr. Wooster," said Jeeves, who was at the door to the room with another man, "Mr. Teatime is hear to see you." If he was inspected more closely, the man next had an eye that was completely black. Wooster looked at Teatime without surprise. "Oh, you again, Teatime?" he said, and with that, he made a mad dash for the other door. Teatime was right behind him with a knife. As the commotion went on with furniture being overturned and gentlemanly knick-knacks were smashed, Jeeves set out some scones and tea. Dodgers whispered something into Jeeves's ear. Jeeves nodded and left the room. Dodgers started at the tea. The other travelers followed his example, and they had tea in the lounge as Wooster flew across the desk behind them. After a while, Jeeves reappeared and said to Dodgers, "Your vehicle is ready, sir."

College Road Trip -Days 3 & 4

On days two and three of the College Road Trip were the first official days of seeing colleges. We saw UC San Diego and UC Irvine.

Monday, July 19, 2010; 7:18pm

We finally made it to one of the colleges on our list of colleges to go to. We made it to UC San Diego. UC Merced is puny compared to UC San Diego. I liked the fact that UC San Diego is broken into 6 different colleges based on your wants for your classes. I also liked the Geisel Library, the buildings, and the fact that you can sign up for a radio slot. We went to a restaurant called Currants and then drove down to Irvine. Too bad we are miss Comic Con by only one week

Tuesday, July 20, 2010; 8:38pm

Today we made our way to UC Irvine. UC Irvine is one of the most fun colleges because it has an Ant Eater as its mascot. It had a nice eating area out behind the student center. It also had a nice fine arts area which was design by the architect of the Vietnam Memorial. My dad can still remember where the Starbucks was located. We also started heading towards Santa Barbara. On our way, we stopped at one of the friends of our family on our mother's side. We met them, saw there humongous garden, and then went to dinner with them. It was a long, but fun day.

Another Story of a Young Girl

Happy Birthday, once again, to my little sister Miriam. :^)

There was once a young girl. She had a mom, a dad, a brother, and a sister. This young girl loved playing with LEGOs. She loved them so much that she got all the LEGOs in the world and made a giant tower to the moon. When she made it to the moon, she looked around from her spot on the top of the LEGO tower. There in front of her was an alien who shot her LEGO tower into a million pieces. She fell and fell, and kept falling until her pet squirrel, who happened to fly, caught her and landed her down in Bolivia, where she spent five years eating JELLO. Then her pet mole came to her and told her that he had dug a hole to China. They then went to China to find that all the Terracotta warriors had come to life because of the young girl's sister. The girl's father then fell out of the sky right in front of her. The girl then threw her father into the hole to Bolivia. As she walked along, she found a giant red button, and she pressed it, which blew up every Terracotta soldier that there was. An angry guy with a wrench then came up to her and hit her on the head. When she woke up, she was under the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House. When she walked out the door of the Bedroom, everybody thought she was a terrorist, but she stopped them with her 'La Jolla' ninja skills. She then walked to Nebraska and found a giant pile of LEGOs which she played with for the rest of eternity.

College Road Trip -Days 1 & 2


From the 17th to the 23rd of July of this year, my family and I went on a road trip to see some of the colleges on the list of colleges my sister wanted to go to. The first two days were the days that we spent driving from Sacramento to San Diego.

Saturday, July 17, 2010; 8:51pm

We are in Bakersfield, California on Day 1 of my older sister's college road trip. Today we are just driving down, but we have already starting to see colleges. We saw UC Merced as we drove and gave it a quick walk-through. It is on a pretty plot of land and looks somewhat like Folsom Lake College, but with modern art and a small river around the outside of it. Unfortunately, it is in the middle of nowhere.

Sunday, July 18, 201o; 9:34pm

We are on Day 2 of the college road trip, but we saw no colleges today. After leaving Bakersfield, we went down to San Diego, but we went through the Mojave Desert, where we saw nothing but trains, windmills, and Joshua Trees. (There was seriously nothing but shrubs and a whole bunch of windmills out there in the desert. It was a very good time to just listen to music or watch a movie. My mom was the only one really interested in the desert because she loved the Joshua Trees.)

Rabk - Part 16


Rabk
A New Allie
Part 16


Rabk looked around frantically for a way out, but there was no exit, for the police mob was in the way of them and the door. "Now" said one of the policemen, "Just come quietly, or we'll have to do this the hard way." The four of them put their hands in the air. As some of the policemen started moving forward to handcuff them, a large blue wave rippled through the air, and all of the policemen fell over, revealing a man with spiked brown hair and a brown trench coat peeking through the door. "Ah!" he said, happily. "Sorry about that. These men were tracking me, but somehow got the scent wrong. Anyway, the if the picked up my scent, the master would have programed them to re-lock their tracers onto me." "But you killed them!" Burt exclaimed in disapproval with a small hint of relief. "Nah!" said the man, walking up to one of the policemen. He picked up one of the limp bodies and ripped its face off to reveal a metal face underneath. "See?" said the man, "Simply androids. No harm done." "What in the world was that blue light, and why didn't it effect us?" asked Rabk. The odd man pulled out a small, bomb-like device from his pocket. "Electromagnetic pulser. Stops anything robotic dead in its tracks." As they spoke, a few creatures floated up to the level of the rooftop. They looked like giant salt-and-pepper shakers with a camera, a whisk, and a plunger sticking out of them.. One of them started speaking in a electronic and metallic voice. "Identified as the Doctor, enemy of the Daleks! Exterminate! Exterminate!" "Oh!" yelled the man, who was apparently the Doctor, "Gotta go!" As he ran off, he turned around and said, "Hey, you lot! Do yourselves a favor and get over here!" Wanting to get away from the evil salt shakers, the four of them ran after the Doctor without question. As they turned a bend, they saw the doctor run into a small blue box big enough to hold only two or three people. "We ain't gonna all fit in there!" yelled the thief who had given Burt the diamond, but they kept running, and one by one they all made it in. When the thief had closed the door, he turned around to find a great expanse of space within the box. "Well, that's new," said Beowulf, in an amused way. The Doctor looked at them. "Oh! Yeah, its bigger on the inside then the outside.
Do you like it?" he asked, but then he kept on talking, "Where do you want to go?" "Is there any chance that you could bring us to the large mountain in the center of the mountain range?" The Doctor looked at him. "What, the wise man's mountain?" Rabk nodded. "I can't" said the Doctor, "with Daleks in the city, it is no longer safe, so I will have to stay here, but I will bring you to the road leading out of the city to the mountain. Rabk sighed and slowly agreed. "Hey, Rabk!" said Beowulf, "Come over here." Rabk went over. "Rabk, this kid wants to come with us to get you back. "Sure, I don't care," said Rabk dully. "What's your name?" The kid tipped his hat. "Dodgers. The Artful Dodgers."

Rabk -Part 15

Rabk
The New Journey
PART 15

"What?" yelled Rabk. "You heard me." said the Librarian quite plainly, "There is no known way out of this world." Rabk kicked at the ground angrily, making two small numbered sack people in hoods fly across the room. Beowulf watched them, amused, as they hit the wall, and then he looked up at Rabk with disappointment. "Wow, Rabk. Are you seriously going to give up that easily?" "Well what am I supposed to do?" muttered Rabk, looking down. "Well, you could start by doing this," replied Beowulf, turning to the Librarian. "Ma'am, can you think of anyone who might know of an unproven way to get out?" Rabk looked up at the Librarian, hopefully. The Librarian stared at the ceiling in thought. "Well..." she said, doubtfully. Rabk was immediately in her face, saying "Yes? What? Can you think of anything?" After pushing Rabk away, she said "There is one man who might know about a way out." "Who is it?" Who?" said Rabk, full of excitement. The Librarian went to the window, followed by Rabk, Beowulf, and Burt. The librarian pointed to a group of mountains outside the city. In the center of the mountain range was the largest mountain, at least twice as large as any other mountain there. "On that tall mountain lives a very odd and mysterious man, known as...," The Librarian looked at them momentously, "The wise man." Burt rolled his eyes. "Well, that's a surprise." Librarian looked at him with her own surprise showing on her face. "Oh, don't doubt the him!" she said, "Many have come back inspired!" Rabk smiled and picked up his bag. "Well, then," he said, "We have no time to waste." So off Rabk went, with Beowulf and Burt trailing behind him, through the city. As the travelers walked down the city's main street, a a teenager ran past them, shoving something into Burt's hands, then went on running. Rabk and Beowulf turned and looked at the object. It was a small, but brilliantly pink stone. "What is it?" asked Burt. "I don't know," said Rabk, "But I think I see a pink cat in it." "That's great," said Beowulf indifferently, "But I think I see something worse." Rabk and Burt turned around to see what looked like a mob of every police force on the face of the planet running towards them. "We better go," said Beowulf, who turned and ran after the boy who had given them the stone. Burt and Rabk followed behind. "Why are we following him?" asked Burt as they ran. Beowulf yelled back to him, "He knows this city better than we do, he can show us how to get away." Soon, the boy veered off of the main road and into the city alleyways. There happened to be plenty of fat cats in these alleys, and they were all eating birds. After turning into the absolutely smallest street possible, the boy entered an old apartment complex. Up the stairs the boy went, followed by the travelers, and the police mob farther behind. When the boy made it to the roof, he turned around and yelled to Beowulf, "Why did you have to follow me?" Beowulf yelled back, "Why did you hand us the jewel. The boy tried to answer, but was topped by the mob of police breaking through the door. The travelers and the thief were surrounded with no where to go.
