The Prehistoric Rat

By Alyx Folmer (Or Xanrat)

About a week ago an amazing thing happened. You see, I and all my classmates had this amazing ability to be able to turn into different animals. Now, you see, we were always waiting for a chance to use our powers. And about a week ago, I guess you could say, that chance came. You see, we were having this big special recess out on the playground when our teacher, all of a sudden, got kidnapped... or, you might say, "teachernapped". She got dropped in the back of a semi and all of a sudden, the semi just rode off, with Mrs. Bell along with it. This was our chance to use our powers and actually have a bit of fun for once. So, we all turned into different animals. I and Alex Gerk turned into rats and then we got the idea to make a little handcart to run on the road and go after them. So we did, and to ouyr surprise, it ran pretty well, and fast. First thing we had to do was stop the car, or at least slow it down. So, I bent over the side of the little handcart and made a hole in the tire withj my teeth. Though by the time I got my teeth out of the side of the tire, I was quite dizzy from swirling around on the side of the tire. But still, I wasn't too wobbly to jump off and land on the handcart again. So this time, we had Josh Martinez jump onto the top of the semi. Did I mention that Josh was a saber-tooth tiger? He ripped a hole out of the top. We all jumped in. Unfortunately, we all just got caught in a big net made of magical tooth-floss that could not be broken. So eventually, we got to the man's hideout. All of a sudden, this blue-with-red-and-green swirls portal opened up in the middle of the door from his living room to his kitchen. Then he went in, took us out of the semi, and threw us right into it! All of a sudden we were on a gigantic stone with plants that I don't think any human has ever seen before. That's when I realized, it wasn't a portal, it was a TIME-gate! And by my calculations, we had gone back to the cretaceous period. So we were pretty much trapped. When all of a sudden, this strange humming noise came from right in front of us, but there was nothing there. You won't believe what's going to happen next. A police box appeared from where the humming seemed to be coming from. Out stepped a man with brownish-red curly hair and an old-fashioned coat and scarf. To my point of view, he looked just like Dr. Who. Same TARDIS, same clothes, same everything. Toi my astonishment, the man took off his hat and greeted us by saying "Good day, I'm the Doctor". I explained to him all about what happened and he agreed that if we let him know how to chjange into different animals like we did, he would bring us back to our own time, same place same everything. We made a deal. We got into the TARDIS, and within a split second, we were back home. Good thing the Tardis landed outside. We thanked him and said goodbye. Then we ran off into the hideout. We all turned into mice, snuck under the door, and sneaked to where the teacher was hidden. Since we were all mice, we weren't quite big enough to chew through the rope. so we all turned into the african giant rat (which, I might mention, is three feet long.) One snip on every rope, and our teacher was set free in about two seconds. We all sneaked outside and then I and all the rest of my classmates remembered that we had to be animals to work the handcart, otherwise it was too small. So we all turned into mice and we taught our teacher how. The only ones that didn't were me and Alex Gerk. We turned into rats. We worked the handcart all the way back to the school. Then, it was just about time to go home, so we turned into humans, packed our bags, and went home. Mrs. Bell announced "No Homework" because of our bravery.

The End.
