A farm near the tripoint of the south-eastern Australian subdivisions; November 17

Alexander Dorantes Suarez arrived home after a long day of work. He found his wife, Maria, setting the table. She went over to him and hugged.

 

“What’s up?” He asked.

 

She took out a newspaper and pointed to an article. “A large skirmish in China. That is where Diego is…” she said referring to her brother.

 

Alexander knew what she was afraid of, and gave her a reassuring hug before leading both of them in prayer.

Excerpt from: Party at 111 Howard

“There are a lot of people here,” Andrea said, knowing that Jen didn't do well in crowds.

Excerpt from: Berk in Time

“Maybe there’s a map,” Fishlegs suggested.

 

“Like that will help,” Snotlout objected. “We’re completely lost here.”

 

“Even pictures of the dragons may help a little. But it may take too much time,” Hiccup said.

 

“So, we look around some more?” Astrid asked.

 

“Yes. Maybe there’s some mechanism somewhere, or we’ll find spare sails. I know it’s too big for us to tow with our dragons,” Hiccup said.

 

“That’s an understatement,” Fishlegs said.

 

“Something like this?” Tuffnut asked.

Excerpt from: Ficlets

However, as she set the table, Candace thought back on the summer so far. ‘A rollercoaster! Really!’

 

 

After Dinner, Candace went up to her room and looked out over the yard. “Oh why? Why did the rollercoaster disappear? Where did the backyard beach go? Why did the S’winter mountain melt? What is the reason?”

 

Whatever it was, she wasn’t going to solve it soon. With a sigh she flipped open her phone to talk to Stacy about something else.

 

 

Candace Out and About

Her mother had wanted her to take a break trying to bust her brothers. Candace thought it was a good idea as it was exhausting. ‘But, what to do?’ She wasn’t sure. ‘I’ll call Stacy,’ she decided.

Excerpt From: The Christmas Case

“I’m glad to see you,” he said as he motioned for Haru to sit.

 

“How have things been?” Haru asked.

 

“It has been as usual here,” the Baron answered. “But I have missed you.”

 

“Muta said.”

 

The Baron laughed at that and began making tea for Haru.

 

 

As they were drinking the tea and catching up, there was a knock at the door. “Who could that be?” the Baron asked.

 

Haru opened the door to find another girl around her age. “Hello?”

 

“This is the Cat Bureau?”

Excerpt from: Galactic Crises

“I know that,” Brocklethwaite responded.

 

 

The Gamma Flyer left the planet unnoticed by the R’sadoak fleet…

 

“The armada is still in pursuit of Ranger,” Junior reported.

 

.”We’re clear through to the R’sadoak homeworld,” Janeway said.

 

“I’m impressed, Captain.”

 

“Enough to change your opinion of us?” Brocklethwaite asked.
