The​ ​Brooklawn​ ​Buzz September / October​ ​edition​ ​2017

Bang​ ​crash !
“ Oops​ ​didn ' t​ ​mean​ ​to​ ​do​ ​that ,” ​ ​said Venus , ​ ​ “ ​ ​they​ ​must​ ​of​ ​left​ ​me​ ​down​ ​here . Hmmm , ​ ​how​ ​can​ ​I​ ​get​ ​out​ ​of​ ​here ? ​ ​Ahhh perfect​ ​a​ ​window .”
She​ ​wandered​ ​near​ ​the​ ​window . ​ ​It​ ​had moss​ ​and​ ​vines​ ​on​ ​the​ ​outside . ​ ​This window​ ​had​ ​not​ ​been​ ​used​ ​since​ ​this house​ ​was​ ​made .
Rattle , ​ ​rattle , ​ ​cling , ​ ​crash . “ What​ ​is​ ​that​ ​nose ?” ​ ​said​ ​Elliot “ Kids , ​ ​go​ ​to​ ​bed .” ​ ​said​ ​Sarah .
The​ ​basement​ ​door​ ​opened​ ​with​ ​a creak .
“ Hello​ ​is​ ​anyone​ ​down​ ​here ?” ​ ​asked​ ​Bax
Gotta​ ​hide . ​ ​Gotta​ ​hide . ​ ​Ummm​ ​here​ ​we go ... an​ ​old​ ​candy​ ​bowl .
Just​ ​by​ ​Venus ' s​ ​surprise​ ​the​ ​bowl​ ​was orange .
“ I​ ​guess​ ​it​ ​was​ ​nothing , ​ ​let ' s​ ​go .” ​ ​said Coal .
“ What​ ​about​ ​the​ ​pumpkin ? ​ ​Hey​ ​there​ ​it is !” ​ ​screamed​ ​Scarlet​ ​and​ ​Ana​ ​right​ ​in Jennys​ ​ear .
The​ ​pumpkin​ ​was​ ​just​ ​getting​ ​out​ ​when the​ ​kids​ ​started​ ​to​ ​chase​ ​her .
“ CATCH​ ​THAT​ ​PUMPKIN !” ​ ​they​ ​all yelled .
Venus​ ​hopped​ ​her​ ​way​ ​to​ ​to​ ​Mino​ ​Bay and​ ​sat​ ​there​ ​out​ ​of​ ​breath​ ​just​ ​hoping not​ ​to​ ​be​ ​found​ ​by​ ​the​ ​humans .
What​ ​are​ ​they​ ​going​ ​to​ ​carve​ ​my​ ​face into ? ​ ​A​ ​Jack-o-lantern . ​ ​Oh​ ​I​ ​can​ ​not think​ ​about​ ​this​ ​right​ ​now​ ​or​ ​it​ ​might​ ​just happen . ​ ​What​ ​to​ ​do ? ​ ​What​ ​to​ ​do ?
The​ ​children​ ​huffed​ ​on​ ​their​ ​way​ ​to​ ​find the​ ​pumpkin​ ​out​ ​of​ ​breath . ​ ​They​ ​sat down​ ​on​ ​a​ ​bench​ ​at​ ​Dice​ ​Street​ ​out​ ​of breath . ​ ​There​ ​was​ ​a​ ​fork​ ​in​ ​the​ ​road​ ​one leading​ ​to​ ​Lakewood​ ​Forest​ ​and​ ​the other​ ​leading​ ​to​ ​Mino​ ​Bay . ​ ​Their​ ​heads wondered​ ​with​ ​questions​ ​but​ ​the​ ​thing that​ ​should​ ​be​ ​asking​ ​questions​ ​is​ ​the pumpkin . ​ ​Elliot​ ​looked​ ​around .
“ We​ ​should​ ​split​ ​up .” ​ ​said​ ​Elliot​ ​ “ You know , ​ ​to​ ​make​ ​it​ ​easier .”
“ Fine , ​ ​but​ ​we​ ​should​ ​do​ ​boys​ ​and​ ​girls .” said​ ​Ana .
“ No​ ​way !” ​ ​said​ ​Scarlet . “ Why​ ​not ?” ​ ​asked​ ​Coal . “ Well …” “ Fine ” ​ ​said​ ​Bax​ ​sounding​ ​annoyed .
“ Well​ ​I​ ​am​ ​certainly​ ​not​ ​being​ ​on​ ​Bax ’ s team .” ​ ​said​ ​Jenny​ ​with​ ​rage .
