SOPHIE’S POLTERGEIST’S GUIDE TO GHOSTS. 1

SOPHIE’S POLTERGEIST’S GUIDE TO GHOSTS.

I am Sophie’s Poltergeist. I’ll take some time out of my hectic haunting schedule to tell you a little bit about ghosties and other things that go bump in the night.

There are a lot of spooky things that go on in Sunset Cove and believe me, even I get scared sometimes.

My Top Ten Haunting Tips

1. Make sure that you sit in the freezer for an hour before your haunting so that you can make the air nice and icy.

2. Yell and moan a lot, that gets people really worried.

3. One you’ve gotten someone’s attention, whisper their name over and over again, this really gives them the heeby geebies.

4. Tickle the back of your victims neck, this is great for sending a shiver down their spine.

5. Throw as many things as possible. If it doesn’t scare them at least it will annoy them!

6. Try to stay hidden until the very last minute, suspense is the key to a good haunting.

7. Creep up behind someone when they’re looking in their mirror – this is a guaranteed fright hit.

8. Bang a few doors and rattle some windows.

9. get the cat or dog on your side – your victim will be really scared if their friendly pet does a runner when you arrive.

10. Last but not least, leave a lasting impression on your victim by promising them that it’s their fault you’re haunting them and that you’ll keep coming back until they can find out the riddle to your untimely death.

Sophie was great to latch on to. She was so sweet that it was easy to tap into her bad side and make the most of her jealous streak that she tried to keep suppressed.

I had so much fun! I always get a buzz when I get to throw things at people and twist heads around. Wow, talk about an adrenaline rush!

But sometimes things would get a little bit too creepy even for my liking. Like the time I went down to the beach for a walk and got chased by a headless ghostie. This guy meant business. He thought that I was on his turf when all I wanted to do was get some r&r by the sea.

Anyway, I got some green plasma thrown at me, some chains rattled right in my ears and it got really, really cold. I ran away as fast as I could – which was pretty fast considering I don’t technically have to run – I can just glide and float and kind of squish around.

But it was a close call and I can still smell the stale deathly breath of that old guy.

Yuk! Why can’t other ghosties stay nice and clean and use some aftershave once in a while?

I mean, there’s no point in letting yourself go just because you’re dead!

JOSH’S GUIDE TO DATING 2

JOSH’S GUIDE TO DATING

Who pays?

I always pay. I’m that old fashioned type of guy plus money is no issue – I have plenty!
Go with the times! There’s no particular rules sometimes the guy pays, sometimes you go dutch (pay for yourselves). It’s up to you!

The Goodnight Kiss?
So, do you do it or don’t you? If the date went really well you’ll know whether or not to attempt a big smooch. Then there’s the decision of whether or not you settle for a peck on the cheek or the big one.
It’s a big moment! It might pave the way for whether or not there is date number two! Just one tip – don’t be Niagra Falls! A really wet kiss is not everyone’s favourite thing.
When do you call?
They say that a couple of days later is about the right time to call after your date. Leave it much longer and they’ll think you don’t care. Call them once you get home and they’ll think you’re desperate.
This is your chance to ask for another date or just to cool things down and remain friends.

Not all dates go fantastically well, in fact sometimes they’re disasters. But you’ll never know unless you try. That guy/girl looking at you across the room that gives you butterflies – there’s nothing like it. Take the plunge because dating can be so much fun.

JOSH’S GUIDE TO DATING

Dating is something we all do. But people in Sunset Cove are dating all the time. With so many sultry stunners and surfy studs in the Cove they can’t help themselves! Anyway I’m Josh Montana and here’s my guide to dating.

Josh’s Guide to Dating

Who asks Who?
Unless you’re overly confident like me, dating can be scary! I personally like to ask the girl out on a date. Usually she’s so overcome with shock that she faints then and there. They always say “yes”. But sometimes the girl asks the guy out and that’s ok too. In the end it doesn’t matter.

What if they say ‘no’?

There’s nothing quite like the word ‘no’ is there? It can be a slap in the face or a boot up the backside. But sometimes it’s just that extra push that makes us want the chase. Who can resist wanting something even more when it doesn’t want you?

Octavia Vermont played hard to get with me. I tried giving her all sorts of presents and flowers but she wouldn’t budge. Of course this only made me want her even more. When I’d just about given up, which isn’t something I’d normally do, she changed her mind. In the middle of the diner one day she told Giles she didn’t love him and that she loved me!!

What if they say ‘yes’?

If they say yes then you need to make a plan!

Where do you go?

Well first of all you may realise you don’t know this person very well. You need to think of any similar interests you have as this may make the decision on where to go a whole lot easier.

Do you give her a gift?

It’s always nice to pick up your date and give her a gift. Flowers are great but chocolates, wine and hair gel are good too. A piece of jewellery or a tub of icecream always go down really well too.

COMMANDER VERMONT’S GUIDE TO SIS INTELLIGENCE SERVICE 2

COMMANDER VERMONT’S GUIDE TO SIS INTELLIGENCE SERVICE

Vermont’s five tips on how to be a good SIS serviceman

Here’s what you need to know:

1 – Play dumb, that way your enemy will think they’re smarter than you and let their guard down

2 – Keep your B52-mag water soaker full and on you at all times – you never know when it might be needed to hose down the tank.

3 – Always discipline yourself – if you do something wrong, slap yourself around a bit to teach yourself a lesson.

4 – Hup 2, 3, 4, is very important – learn your numbers before you enter the SIS.

5 – Disguise is important – go to some fancy dress parties and try your stuff.

The Uniform

Sunset Cove is not your average town but catching a glimpse of the SIS in the town is not unusual. We’re not hard to spot in our camouflage uniform which consists of a beach floral design in keeping with the entire style of Atlantis High. But when I’m going to a formal occasion I wear my official white dress uniform.

My Medals

I’ve received many medals throughout my career. Most are for bravery but some are also for geniusness, best dressed in the field, most quickly accomplished mission, and for being Miss World Commander of the year.

The Missions

We’ve made many missions over the years and they’ve all been adventures. One mission was to find the needle in the haystack – the mission was set to take 100 days but we managed it in 7.

Our next mission was to determine how long a piece of string is – this was the only mission we failed to complete – apparently it’s never been done.

Recently we had to track down an alien presence in Sunset Cove which proved to be a rather hard task…

So there you go – the SIS is full of fun and adventure. God speed to you all.

COMMANDER VERMONT’S GUIDE TO THE SIS – INTELLIGENCE SERVICE 1

COMMANDER VERMONT’S GUIDE TO THE SIS – INTELLIGENCE SERVICE

“Hello, I’m Commander Vermont and I’m the Commander of the Sunset Cove SIS. Here is my guide to serving your country and being proud to protect your people.

The Men

My men are one of a kind. I trust my men with my life and with my family’s life.

I and my trusty team of staunch intelligence servicemen are 100% committed to serving and protecting Sunset Cove.

Introducing my team (undercover names of course): Gnome, Flowerpot, Diddles, Tiger, Zulu, and Asterix.

We may strut our stuff across your screens BUT we are Intelligence with a difference!

No stone is left unturned in Sunset Cove if we’re on the case. The bolder and whackier we are the better! We are masters of our trade.

The Daily Routine

To be the best and the most efficient team ever, we must follow strict guidelines.

All men are to be up and ready to commence the days training by 0600 hours. After a short meal break all soldiers gather at the rendezvous point for manoeuvres training on the back lawn. This involves running, jumping, ducking, and moving like a stealth bomber through the bushes. This is all very important for sneaking into enemy camps.

Then comes the surveillance training which involves disguise, hide and seek, binocular training and coordination. Especially useful for tracking down aliens.

Next is the weapons training. Our SIS team specialise in B52-mag Water soakers and Long range 20mm hoses for especially difficult targets, absolutely lethal weapons that should only be used under special supervision. For the small minefields around the garden we draw a grid and hide in the ground specially designed “canned farters” which are easy to detonate and really have the enemy running from the smell. Weapons training is intensive and you need to be on your toes all the time.
