Steve: Voltaire!
Mrs. Travis: Voltaire!
Sherlock: Come out, come out, wherever Ты are!
Josh: Man, where could he be?
Mr. Travis: We know he's here somewhere, but he is no where in sight.
Steve: Oh look! There's that calliope.
Josh: Whoa! It's playing by itself!
Sherlock: Must be one of those coin operated ones.
Steve: Эй, guys! Look what else I've found!
Mr. Travis: It's an old switch. And it has a sign. (Reads sign) "Pull for assistance"
Mrs. Travis: Well, we do need assistance in finding Voltaire. So let's pull it.
Steve: Wait! My book says Voltaire is a trickster. Something tells me that this might be a trap.
Josh: Hmm, that is a possibility. I know, just in case it is a trap, we'll pull it together.
Steve: I agree, Josh.
Sherlock: Why?
Steve: Because we're a team. We have to stick together no matter what. If this thing is a trap, then we should all be trapped together.
Josh: That's right, Steve.
Mr. Travis(Concerned): Uh, if Ты say so.
Everyone puts hand on switch
Steve: Ready? One, two, three, pull! (All pull switch)(Silence)
Steve: Huh, nothing's happening.
Loudspeaker crackles and talks: Assistance will be with Ты momentarily. For now, please take your seats for the Показать is about to begin.
Sherlock: Whatever Ты say loudspeaker.
Cast sits on chairs in bleachers.
Mrs. Travis: See Steve? There's no trap. The guy on the intercom says they're gonna help us.
Steve: Yeah, you're right. For now let's sit here and wait for someone to help.
Josh: And I hope this Показать is gonna be a success.
Silence
Sherlock: Uh, guys? Did Ты notice something?
Mrs. Travis: Yeah. The calliope. It stopped playing.
Sherlock: Exactly. And it just got quiet in here.
Mr. Travis: Hmm. It's almost TOO quiet.
Steve: Maybe it's just a dramatic emphasis for the Показать to start. Well just have to wait and...(Lights suddenly go out)
Cast gasp and scream
Sherlock: D'ah! Who turned out the lights? Where did everybody go?
Steve: Don't anybody panic! It is just a temporary blackout for the start of the show! So nobody Переместить until the lights come back on.
Mr. Travis: Actually, I can't Переместить at all!
Mrs. Travis: You're right honey! I can't either! I'm stuck to my seat!
Sherlock: So am I!
Josh: Me too!
Steve: What? What are y'all talking about? (Spotlight shines on cast tied to their chairs) Hey! I'm tied to my chair! We're all tied up!
Cast struggle to get out
Mr. Travis: Aw man! Ты were right Steve! This was a trap!
Steve: I don't see how this could get any worse!
Lightning strikes. Cast gasps. Spotlights wave around the stage
Loudspeaker: Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, welcome to Cirqus Voltaire! And now here is you're host, ME!
Lightning hits light-up letters
Steve: Look! The lightning is spelling some letters!
Cast (spelling letters as lightning strikes): W...O...W (Lightning stops) Wow!
Steve: Uh oh!
Josh: What uh oh?
Steve: Spelling wow is the evil ringmaster's cue to come out in the pinball game!
Cast: WHAT?!
Purple smoke appears. Voltaire comes up from under the stage
Cast gasps
Voltaire: I am the ringmaster! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh I Любовь saying that! Now where is my audience? (Turns to cast) Oh there they are! (Approaches cast) Hello everybody!
Steve (Nervously): Uh...hi?
Rest of cast: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
All except Josh stop.
Steve: Uh Josh?
Josh continues
Steve: JOSH!

Steve (to Voltaire): He's okay. As Ты were.
Voltaire: Uh right. Anyways, welcome to my circus! Tonight's performance will be spectacular! Your сердце will race, your mind will be blown, your eyes will pop when Ты see all that my circus has to offer.
Mrs. Travis: Uh, we're not here to see your performance, mister! We came to get me and my husband's baby son back!
Steve: And my friend Cat! What did Ты do to them? Ты better not lay a finger on them!
Voltaire: Ты can't prove I took them, no one can!
Sherlock: We have a lot of evidence, sir! For instance, your hair, the broken pinball machine, the purple smoke, and your green face!
Voltaire: Okay fine! But don't worry, they're completely unharmed.
Josh: Well that's a relief. Oh and by the way, Ты owe me money!
Voltaire: Money? No...wait...why do Ты need money?
Josh: To pay for the damage you've done to my arcade and the Cirqus Voltaire pinball machine!
Voltaire: Oh Josh! Ты know there's no way I'm paying for that! And PLEASE don't remind me of that pinball machine! Ugh, it was so crammy in there and that springy neck was killing me!
Steve: Whoa! How did Ты know Josh's name?
Voltaire: I am a mind reader. I know everyone's names!
Steve: Oh yeah? Can Ты guess all of our names?
Voltaire: That's easy! Josh, Steve, Sherlock Squarepants, Mrs. Travis, and Mr. Travis.
Mrs. Travis: Man, Ты really do know our names!
Mr. Travis: Who are you?
Voltaire: Who am I? WHO AM I?! I am the ringmaster of this circus, the world's most outstanding magician, a mind reader, a palm reader, the most wanted bad guy in pinball history! I am...(Evilly) VOLTAIRE! (Lightning strikes)
Voltaire: Hit it, my magic calliope! (Calliope plays) Allow me to introduce myself, properly!
Josh (Whispers): He's not going to sing, is he?
Steve (whispers): I'm afraid he is.
Voltaire (singing): Welcome my Друзья please step right up,
Come on inside of my great big top,
There's so much to do and so much to see,
My circus is great for all families,
The show's gonna start please take a seat,

Look in the spotlight, who's that over there?
Why it's meeeeeeee, the evil Voltaire!

Mrs. Travis (Whispers): For such a bad guy, he can sell a tune.

Who knows what I might have up my sleeve,
A bunch of Цветы for a lovely lady,
For my Далее act that involves great fear,

Voltaire: Well good, because I already have two volunteers! Allow me to Показать you! (Turns to audience) Well, well, well! Ты didn't tell me Ты brought this many Друзья with you! Well hello people! Let me Показать Ты what my performance is like!
Goes off stage to the front row audience
Voltaire (Singing and interacting with the front row):
On your left there is ring 1,
Which will be filled with loads of fun,
Like a baby spinning on a spinning wheel,
As I throw boom balloons at his head and heels!
Spinning wheel comes on stage with Junior attached
Junior: Waah! Waah!
Mrs. Travis screams
Mr. Travis: Oh my gosh! Junior!
Mrs. Travis (to Voltaire): Release my son at once, Ты scoundrel!

High wire comes on stage with Cat on the left end at the top
Cat: Help! Get me down from here!
Steve: Holy диван, мягкий уголок potatoes!!! Cat!!!

I was watching over Manhattan feeling like no threat can defeat me. I notice the Throbbing Cerebellum behind me.
TC: Beautiful sight, isn't it?
Me: It sure is, brainiac.
TC: And where there's a city like that, there's the antithesis of the visual thesis.
Me: And where there's people like that, there are people like us.
TC: But everything will change when the mask comes off.
Me: What?
TC: Everything will change when it comes to the point where your friends, family, and enemies will find out who Ты really are.
Worried, I nearly forget to breathe. Then, as I take a big gasp of air, I wake up, finding myself sitting up in my bed, still listening to "Superman (It's Not Easy)" on my ipod. I thought for weeks about what it would be like if the other three penguins, David, Jessica, and Jiggles found out. I told Kowalski everything at first and Mastique caught me turning into the alter ego that wasn't Angela Bult. Everything will definitely change, I wish I knew if it was good или bad.

Silence is Deadly
Ты flee from the scene where all the blood shed.
Ты cry over dead bodies of those Ты just met.
With future uncertain, your silence is key,
Though sometimes this silence can be deadly.
One word can lead to a fight, another to war,
Then in the end you'll find your hearts sore,
From all the fire, all the distress,
But you'll never give up, not yet.
A troigger is pulled and gun is heard,
Once again, no one says a word,
Ты just want to stop the violence,
But the killing is because of your silence.
"one word may start a war, but I promise, silence is a fr еще deadly weapon than any gun или нож you've ever known," - Mark, from "of the unwanted"

"Come on, Tiana!" Mya said,"We don't want to be in a traffic jam!"
"Okay, okay! Let me just get my purse!" I сказал(-а) while looking in my drawer.
After we reached the shopping mall, there was a huge sale on bags & shoes! We both scream "AHHH!"
As we get as much clothes as we wanted. Mya saw a store which had a sale on DBZ outfits for boys & girls!
Hey, Tia! Mya said, "Wanna get a drink?" Mya asked.
"Sure!" I replied.
We went to a льстец, смузи shop, and we ordered a клубника smoothie.
"Wanna go some еще shopping?" Mya asked.
"Maybe later." I replied.
After we finished drinking, we went outside for a little walk.
"Isn't it amazing outside?" I asked.
"Yes, your right, Tiana! It is amazing!"
After that we went swimming. It was like a hotel with shopping malls! Then we realized it was a hotel! So we decided to stay in the hotel for 2 weeks.
