After school, I was visiting some magical talking penguins in Antarctica named Ned, Ted, Red, Fred, and Ed. Ned is nice, Ted is terrible, Red is ridiculous, Fred is forgiving, and Ed is exciting. As I was saying I was visiting Antarctica (which I often do) and was exploring a cave. I sat down on a piece of ice and pulled out my binder to do my homework. At the same time I strengthened my anti-cold deluxe-edition bubble; how else would I survive? As I was doing the first bit a HUGE time & space machine suddenly appeared and a magical hurricane began to suck me into it! I was whisked through the ages and out of Antarctica when I landed in the Stone Age! (Thank goodness, Ted and Red were starting to get on my nerves.) Anyways, I was so surprised that I dropped my binder. Just as a bunch of primitive peoples were about to attack me the magical tempest began again and just before I was whisked away again I reached my hand out and secured my binder. Then I landed and as I clambered out of the huge contraption I saw thousands of strange orange and blue bugs crawling around. Is this the future? Is this what our planet will be reduced to? I realized it couldn’t be when I felt my anti-cold bubble strengthening against the temperature and turning on it’s oxygen supply (it’s the deluxe edition, remember?). I sat there contemplating different possiblities when I saw the transportation instrument disappear. No more time-traveling, either. I took out my homework when my neighbor’s dog started to chew on it! I yanked it out of his mouth and fixed it with a quick spell and walked home happily. I started some work on my computer when it froze and I tried everything when I thought, why don´t I try a spell? I said, 'Tech-a, start-o!' and the computer started.
