THE NINJAS…

THE NINJAS…

Where they came from and who they were trained by, nobody knows. But it is fair to say that this crack team of nifty ninjas are both swift and secretive.

They take their orders from Q without any questions. They carry out these orders with no fear for their own safety even though they have been in many a strange and sticky situation.

Although they never speak, this tricky team retain their manners and are very polite to anyone who happens to come across them.

They appear to have the power to multiply or disappear, as discovered by Dorothy Gordon. She found one in a cupboard at the Vermont’s home and whenever she shut and reopened the door, there would be one, some or none!

These Ninjas stealthily creep around the Cove on various tasks and adapt well to being in different places. Commander Vermont is quite fond of them and often congratulates them on their work (even though he knows nothing about them).

They are an accepted part of life in Sunset Cove and people are never surprised to see them. Their athleticism is most probably admired by many of the beautiful people of Sunset Cove and Atlantis High and they would be sorely missed if they were to disappear. Their presence is just a part of normal life in this happy little town.

THE MILITARY…

THE MILITARY…

Led by the respected and inspiring Commander Vermont, this team of military masterminds forever lurk in the background of daily life in Sunset Cove.

Whether they are attached to their countries military base or not is something that we have yet to discover.

Perhaps this team of soldiers are employed by the owners of Sunset Cove to keep this unique and idyllic lifestyle top secret from the outside world.

Perhaps they are employed by Q or by whoever employs Q?

Maybe Commander Vermont is an eccentric millionaire who spends his money on playing soldiers in his back yard?

It could be that the Vermont house is built on a sacred Atlantan site that needs to be protected from the outside world?

This group of soldiers could even be made up entirely of alien lifeforms.

It is certain however that these boys in blue are extremely loyal to their beloved leader Commander Vermont and they try their very best to carry out his orders to the word.

They do not use typical military weapons or other such devices. Water guns seem to be the preferred weapon of choice and the cordless red hotline telephone is never far from the grasp of the Commander.

Training takes place in the back yard of the Vermonts’ home and there is a minefied to the west of the vegetable patch.

Commander Vermont eats sleeps and breathes the military and he looks after his men with the same loving care a father would show to his newborn baby.

MR. FLUFFY MUFFIN…

 

MR. FLUFFY MUFFIN…

The sweeter than sweet Mr. Fluffy Muffin is Sophie May’s best friend. She rarely goes out without him and even when she does, he is always near.

He’s just gorgeous. He’s got these big floppy ears and this cute little pink button nose.

He can be dressed up to suit any occassion and his behaviour is always impeccable. 

He is the ideal dinner date, prom partner, classmate or beach buddy and he will listen tirelesly to all your problems with his fantastic fluffy ears.

It is unclear as to where Sophie May found her little buddy or for how long she has had him but she is obviously extremely fond of him. Perhaps he found her?

Whether or not Mr. Fluffy Muffin has a personality of his own has yet to be discovered.

He does seem to change his facial expressions to suit the occassion and particularly enjoys dressing up in smart clothes.

He looks delightful in a bow tie and the pink pads on his cute little feet match his inner ears.

All in all this bunny buddy is a joy to all who encounter him and Sophie May would never be without her best friend.

COMMANDER VERMONT’S GUIDE TO ALIEN ABDUCTIONS Part 2

COMMANDER VERMONT’S GUIDE TO ALIEN ABDUCTIONS

I lay on my back and got my breath back. I tried to move but my whole body ached so I closed my eyes and had a nap.

Aliens Don’t Like…
  • Being chased by llamas
  • Star Wars movies
  • Photographs of Wildebeest
  • Darth Vadar
  • Joyracing
  • Marshmallows
  • Heavy Metal Music
  • Drive-in Movies
  • Flowers
  • Black Holes

When I woke up I could move again and I made my way to the latrine to check myself out in the mirror. I looked like I had been BBQ’d in green olive oil and I had bruises all down my chest.

My legs had been shaved and my hair had been put in curlers. My eyelashes were permed and my nails had been painted. I didn’t know what to do, where to turn.

Luckily it was still night time and everyone else was fast asleep so I was able to grab some clothes out of my tent and took a bike and cycled back into town for a shower and a change of clothes before heading back to camp before sun-up.

I don’t know why but all my memories of Johnny had been wiped and all the memories of all the guys in my unit had been too! Nobody mentioned Johnny and I never thought about him until Christmas when I went home and Mom asked where my little brother was. It all came back to me in a rush and I ran to the top of the hill and called out into the sky for Johnny.

Of course I got no reply but it hasn’t stopped me from trying to find him through the years.

I have never been taken away by aliens again. And I have never found Johnny.

But to this day I believe that if he had wanted to come back he would have – maybe he’s happy where he is – and maybe Elvis is there with him.

I have devoted the rest of my life to trapping aliens and I know all their tricks. Just wait until I get my hands on that Mr. Dorsey – he looks like he’d know a thing or two about green tentacles and Moon Monkies…

 

 

 

VITA ON THE ATLANTIS HIGH GUIDE TO THE THEATRE 2

VITA ON THE ATLANTIS HIGH GUIDE TO THE THEATRE
Well, in England in the 1800’s plays started to deal with stories of everyday people as characters and commercial theatre started to appear in North America.Then came the 19th century with the introduction of electric lighting. Ah, that is so wonderful, no? This great addition, along with the industrial revolution, changed the face of theatre. Theatre became less about content and storyline and concentrated more on special lighting effects and scenery. This era also debuted the talents of such writers as George Bernard Shaw.
And in to the 20th century people. hang in there. You too could win an Emmy after learning all this!

Once again new technology allowed for bigger, brighter and better plays. Theatre went from being a humble play to the ever popular stage show. No longer about simple storylines, the 20th century will be remembered for shows like Tennessee Williams’ Glass Menagerie, Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, Lloyd Webber’s Cats, The Phantom of the Opera and many many more.

Of course this is just the beginning, what will this new millennium have to offer??? What will your contribution be? Eh scumbag attention seeking morons? What will your contribution be? It might help if you learn to read and write properly first…”

 

Mr. Dorsey asked Antonia to write a report on the night of the school production ‘Romeo and Juliet’ by William Shakespeare and Giles Gordon.

 

” Well, first of all Josh had a nasty fall and couldn’t be the leading man. Of course I had to drop out as well because Antony was wracked with jealousy.

And then Giles got called in to take over from Josh at the last minute!

Poor old Giles had to be pushed on to the stage. man, he was so scared! Antony would have been so much braver than geek boy!

 

 

But Giles was okay when he saw Octavia on stage. He seemed to be really excited and relaxed at the same time.They did look kinda cute together. It’s a shame that he’s besotted with me. I mean, he never leaves me alone! The play went so well and the crowd just absolutely loved it!

 

 

So in conclusion Mr. Dorsey, I’d like to say well done to Giles! I think that he really did well in the writing of the play and I’m sure glad we didn’t have to listen to all that Shakey spear throwing mumbo jumbo talk stuff.”
