Start Here: “Touchdown!” said Kendrix. In a dull room at 138 Leybourne Circle, a boy named Kendrix and his brother James were playing Madden NFL ‘09. Kendrix was a humble boy who does anything and James was a boy that always wanted to win. “I hate this game lets put in Tekken 5” said James. “Ok” replied Kendrix. They were about to put in Tekken but then they couldn’t find it. “This is weird Kendrix” said James. “Yesterday our Rugby ball went now Tekken 5?” “Something's seriously wrong”. “Lets go ask Waata”

“BANG BANG BANG!” “WAATA, WAATA!” James screamed as he was knocking on the door. From all the things disappearing, James and Kendrix decided to got to their mates house to see if their stuff is gone. “What is it bro?” said Waata. “WAATA WAATA WAATA.........” screamed James. “I think I should handle this one James, don’t you think?” said Kendrix. “Have any of your things been disappearing?” asked Kendrix. “Yes” replied Waata. “My MW3, COD Black Ops 2 and all heaps of my games”. “That’s like us” said James. We have got to get to the bottom of this. “Lets see if Starford has anything to say.”

“Star, Star” the two boys scream. “What’s up?” he replies. “Has anything been disappearing here?” “Yeah” he replies. “Have.......” Kendrix is stopped by Star. “Has anything of yours been disappearing?” “Yeah, we were just about to ask” Kendrix replies. “Ohh well. See you later” Star said.

“We haven’t asked Mum” said James.The two boys ran to their mother hoping that she would know where their stuff is. “Mum have you seen our....” James stopped talking. He and Kendrix saw all his stuff near his mum. “Mum, how could you?” asked James angrily. “It was all a prank?” said Kendrix. “Yes” his mum replied. “All the mums in the community planned this at school.” “I’ve got to say, that was pretty good” Kendrix said. “HOW COULD YOU!” James screamed. “I’m going” he storms away. At the end of the day everyone was happy except for James. But he was alright after a while. That concludes our story.
