Elmo VS Barney
Once upon a time, in a land called Elmo’s World, there lived Elmo, a lovable, adorable looking creature whose only fault was loving things too much, and his deadly sharp crayons of course. Now, when we look in on this tale we see Elmo, talking to his fish, Dorthy, and sharpening his crayons. “Dorthy” said Elmo “you’re the best fish a puppet could have, Hahaha!” Then he proceeded to kiss the fish bowl. Then he said “I think that I’m gonna make some cookies.” Later, when the cookies had been made, he sat down and said “This is going to be a great day!” Then, with a resounding crash, in came BARNEY! A horrible, purple, dinosaur shaped creature with an appetite for cookies. He had smelt Elmo’s delicious cookies and had come all the way to Elmo’s World with the intent to steal them. “GIVE ME THOSE COOKIES!” He shouted. “No!” said Elmo “haven’t you ever read The Little Red Hen!?!? I made these cookies, so I’m gonna eat them.” “You better give me those cookies” warned Barney “or I’m gonna have to use extreme prejudice!” “Bring it on.” taunted Elmo. So as Elmo stood there between the cookies and the horrible being, he picked up his crayons and took up a defensive stance. Barney laughed and pulled out a long, wicked looking knife. Then he charged Elmo, slashing his knife and Elmo dodged this way and that, ducking and parrying .They slashed and hacked, parried, countered. Barney slashed with his knife Elmo stabbed with his crayons. Finally Elmo had but one crayon left and Barney had a broken knife. They looked at each other with loathing. The hate was palpable in the air. Then Barney looked past Elmo and started. “The cookies are gone!” he said. Elmo turned around and there, behind an empty plate that once held the cause of this whole conflict but now held noting but crumbs and an empty memory of the sweet delicious cookies, sat the Cookie Monster! He said “me hear fight and come to help but then me sees COOKIES! THEN ME EAT COOKIEEES!” He then started to eat the plate. Elmo and Barney then turned towards each other and Barney said “Well, I’m outta here.” And he turned to leave. “Oh no you don’t!” exclaimed Elmo, who then jumped on Barneys’ back and proceeded to stab him in the neck until Barney was limp and dead on the floor. “That’s for all of my broken crayons” said Elmo. Then he turned towards Cookie Monster, whose mouth was open in apparent shock. He said “and as for you, I have a job for YOU!” He then dragged Cookie Monster into the kitchen and mad him make 500 batches of cookies without eating any. Then Elmo tied Cookie Monster to a chair while he ate them all . THE END

i wrote this peice to motivate our generation of "slakers" and "video game junkys". the older generations say that we're "unmotivated". and you know what i think? i think its competely true. we are unmotivated and heres why. its because we're always expected to be doing something. "Go out side""Go do some chores""oh you're bored? then i have something for you to do" and i think that thats just adding to the problem. i think to get motivated to do something we have to get BORED! and i dont mean get rid of all your video games and comic books (sorry moms) i mean just sit and think in bordom for awile and we could have great ideas. take this story for example. i was bored and i thought "what would jacky chan do" and then i realised that he would fight so then i heard my little brother watching barney and thought " i hate this show and viola' this story was the outcome. so good luck, and get bored!
