Chapter 1 Donald Petfridge

I was surfing the web. It was 4:03 am. My older brother and twin brother were both asleep. I had woke up at 3:30 because I had had a nightmare about Curly the Cuddly Cockroach leaping into my head and possessing my body. I glared at the pest, in his airtight cage.

He got there because after he possessed me, Cherie Encia, Heather Fode, and Tiny Fode (the mouse) saved me and then Ron(my twin) grabbed the sniveling roach, threw him into a beaker, and flipped it upside down. Curly had been trying to take over the world after falling into a bioenhancer. We literally couldn't kill him so he stays in the container.

Anyways I was typing my apology note to Cherie for asking her out, putting her under such stress, and pretty much just for being a jerk.

Dear Cherie, Sorry I was a jerk. It wasn't my place to ask you out. Please forgive me. I had a severe caseof puppy love or a crush as some might call it. I'll go to Heather next! (just kidding)

Bye. The only one from Mars,

Don.

p.s. Thanks again for helping to save me from Curly!

I glanced at the clock 5:53. "What day is it?" I muttered. There was a groan from Ron.

"Saturday, Jonathan's and Cherie's birthday."

I looked at him and pressed send on the computer. "It is?"

"DUH! Don't you remember Cherie, Laura, Heather, Tiny and our older brother Christopher are going to be at the party?!" Ron cried dramatically.

"Christopher is coming home from college?"

"Yeah"

"Let's go downstairs, grab a hop tart, and prepare for the water war that will occur at the party." I enthused. "It is 6:05 am. We will have to hurry we hav just over twelve hours to prepare!"
