Meerkats by Rhianna

She was waiting for the right moment to turn it off, but she just couldn’t. She tried, but she just stood there, transfixed, face blank. Nobody had spoken for the last four hours, and they just stood there, in silence, watching ‘Dance Moms’. They couldn’t care less if it wasn’t from their nationality, as they watched anything they could grab their large, chubby hands on.

The box set came to an end, and so her father put on a documentary about meerkats. She wished she could scream, “WHAT IS GOING ON‽I WANT TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING!” but she couldn’t. They were just too cute. A meerkat was prowling around, and then another one joined it, and they started digging in the sand. Happily, they started yapping together, about who-knows-what. Back in the lounge, everybody just stood there.

Then the meerkats looked straight at the camera, and began to look sad. She wondered why. She hoped they would lighten up a bit. In a trice, they pounced at the screen, and began to claw away at the screen. They got through, and jumped straight out of the television! “Okay, okay. Baaaadddd kitty. Baaaaaaaddddd kitty. Please go away!” said her brother, his belly wobbling as he leant over to grab the crisps. He was seventeen, and already twice the size and weight of their eighteen year old cousins. The cousins were mildly obese. So that says a LOT about him. “HOW COULD YOU‽ YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THE POOR CREATURES, AND YOU’VE BEEN WATCHING THE STUPID DOCUMENTARY FOR TWO AND A HALF HOURS NOW! TWO AND A HALF!” she shouted. She was working herself up into a state now, and ran out the room.

By this time, the sitting room (well the main one, because they sit down 99.999% of the time) was absolutely jam-packed with meerkats, more meerkats and even more meerkats. They began to search for a better place, so they took a left and began to raid the pantry and kitchens. Surprisingly enough, they didn’t touch the food, and they only took the orange juice, and the milk. Then they came back with a load of cards and board games. They played blackjack, monopoly, snap, and Lego.

They carried on playing for another half an hour, with the family staring with open mouths. They were practically gasping for breath, except the little girl. She knew what was happening, and what was going to happen next. So she got her camera out, and took a bunch of pictures. She must have shied them away, because the next minute they left the door open behind them, and started waving goodbye.

The family thought it was only fair that instead of watching the television, they started socializing and playing monopoly until the day ended. They were sad to see the meerkats go, but they knew that they had taught them a valuable life lesson.

The next morning, the girl went to school. She took her photos with her for show and tell, and when it was her turn, all they said was, “Nice Photoshop.”

Late Night Shopping by Tyler W

“I’m hungry!” groaned Mark.
“Well go shopping then,” replied Julia.
While he was hungry he didn’t want to argue so off he went to the supermarket. Off he set in his car on the way to get his food ‘Bleep’ Julia had sent him a shopping list. “Welcome to your local supermarket please enjoys the super prices!” bleared a small speaker behind a sign.

Slowly Mark makes his way to the salad isle and looks at his phone. “Tomatoes” he mutters. Then to his surprise a packet of red juicy tomatoes come towards him singing
“We are red and were juicy
We love to squirt all over you when you cut us la, la, la.”

On to the sweet isle and he mutters “lemon drops,” Quickly the lemon drops jump off the shelf
“I want candy
I want candy
I want candy
I want candy!”
Mark now loved shopping he stood in the centre of the shop and said “cabbage, milk, sausages and ice cream. After a while, Marky started to think what would the cashier say but still he walked up to the till.
“Weeeeeeee yay,” all the items wailed around every corner. Mark took a deep breath and then walked up to the cashier and everything was normal.

Later that night he admitted he liked shopping which made Julia say
“Well you can go tomorrow,” but would it be the same
“Flour err flour!” Mark shouted
“Hello we are security would you like to leave now!”

The Meerkats by Kiefer

A family sprawled out on the floor, doing nothing but watching television. They were completely silent full of nothing. They were watching the nature channel. This bit of the programme was about meerkats. All of a sudden the meerkats jumped out the tele! All the family did, was watch the meerkats in amazement take over the living room. They watched the meerkats build an Eiffel tower and the statue of liberty out of lego. Still silent, the family watched the meerkats drink a bottle of milk and orange juice each. They took a hat each and raised it off their head as they ran out onto a taxi. They didn’t know what had happened but whatever happened was frightening weird and unusual.

Petrified, the family slowly walked towards the tele. They didn’t know what to do, turn tele back on, leave it, call the police. When an idea struck them. They would set a trap for them!!!!! It was genius. They laid some orange juice bottles on the floor, made a giant cage out of lego, and held it with a rope. As soon as something would jump out the tele, they would let go of the rope. They were just about to turn the tele on when….
ROAR CRASH BANG!!!!!! As they opened there eyes they had accidently turned on sky cinema. Unluckily for them the brand new Godzilla was on!!!! As there house fell to bits Godzilla was just about flamethrower when NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! The daughter had found herself in bed. “Oh my family watching meerkats coming out of the tele and then setting a trap for Godzilla then destroying the house and trying to flamethrower me with its stinky breath was just a nasty dream”. Said the girl. Well at least that’s what they think. 

The Meerkats by Olivia

It was just an ordinary night at Halloween when the family of 5 girls sat down to watch Coronation Street in their unicorn onesies. That night there was a terrible storm that struck Skegness. After ten minutes the adverts came on then “crash!” lightning strikes.
Finally sparks stop coming out the TV and then…the Meerkats jump out of what’s left of the television “at Meerkat .com!” says the Meerkat. Weirdly the Meerkat runs upstairs and then comes back down wearing a unicorn headband and carrying unicorn monopoly.
The Meerkat shouts at the television screen “you are good to go!” suddenly more and more Meerkats come crawling through the television “what’s happening?” asked the girls as some more Meerkats crawl out of the television.
Quickly the girls try to run to the front door but the doors locked so the try to get to the back door but that’s crowded by all of the Meerkat army the girls run to the up stairs bathroom so they can lock the door and the window but those devils still manage to find a way in.
One of the girls reach’s into the pocket of her unicorn onesie so she can grab her phone but its not the none of the girls phones were where the left them…

The magic groceries by Aimee

There once was a girl called Esme who went to the supermarket every Saturday. On Saturday 17th October, she happily skipped through the door and got a trolley.
Esme got her shopping list out of her bag and read the items in her head. Slowly, she read out all of the items on her list “Milk, butter, yogurts…” she said and when she said each one, they jumped off the shelves either doing their own dance or singing their own theme song! “What is happening!!?” She said, confused.
She looked around her but no one seemed to notice anything. “Maybe I’m just imagining things,” She thought. She rubbed her eyes and opened them again…
But they were still singing in the trolley. She slowly trudged to the cashier, wondering what the lady would say. “Would she say…? Why are the groceries alive?!!! Would she say…? Did you do this?!!! Would she say… well would she scream and run off?” Esme thought. What would her mum and dad say when she gets back? She was puzzled.
Quickly she looked back in the basket and they were thankfully back to normal. “Phew.” She said. Esme quickly packed her bag and went home.

Trouble at home by Kaycee

I couldn’t believe it! There were loads of…well you are just going to have find out yourself. The day started pretty normally apart from the fact that it was snowing. My sister, Maddie, was really happy but mum said we couldn’t go outside because it was too dangerous; we lived on a mountain so there was a chance of avalanches.
Instead of going outside we watched a film called “Meerkats Madness” It was so boring until the meerkats started coming out of the television. It was really cool, they started playing games like Monopoly and Cludo and in like ten seconds they took over the living room.
In within a blink of an eye they were in the kitchen drinking all the orange juice, eating all the chocolate and they was about to eat the grand pancake. “Don’t you dare?” Mum shouted. The meerkats blinked and continued to wreck the house.
After about a full hour of craziness the meerkats left waving at us while walking out of the front door my family and I just waved back awkwardly. My mum turned looked at the television and it was turned off. Instead of watching the film we just played with the games and the toys that the meerkats left out.

Meerkat Madness by Molly

As the family of four all with the surname Monchons sat down and turned on the new 20 inch television to watch Britain’s Got Talent. They all love it. Lyla’s favourite act is Zia D the best singer. But Freddy likes Frankie Mingles and the little Teddy likes Isabelle C who has already been kicked out and last but not least mum and dad like Tia A the professional gymnast. Anyway as they turned on the telly and one of the best adverts came on it was meerkat movies but the telly was cracking and cracking and cracking even more oh no one hundred by one hundred come on to the sofa making all of the feathers go everywhere and then in the Fridge drinking the orange juice “Mind the cake!” shouted mum in shock but they ignored her and ate every single crumb and now it was enough they shooed them so they would never come again.
They all settled down in their cosy beds and fell asleep; in the middle of the night there was a bash and a clash. “What’s happening?” Lyla yelled in confusion they all hurried down stairs and the television was all back to normal we went back to bed to forget what happened earlier today. When the sun came out for a whole new day it meant to them that they can forget about what happened and let SKY have a look at it to make sure it was all ok now and nothing like that would ever happen again even though in Lyla’s dream she wishes rainbow unicorns come out the television next. Even though though mum and dad said that will never happen or will it.

The Shopping Trip by Tyler S

There I was, in my car being dragged off to another weekly shop at the local superstore. Little did I know that something extra-ordinary was going to happen.
I trudged through the double automatic doors of TESCO supermarket. I thought I saw a loaf of bread wink at me but it might have just been my imagination. But all of a sudden my Dad called out his shopping list starting with semi-skimmed milk and in the distance, you could hear someone singing.
Instantly, a semi-skimmed milk bottle walked along singing, “Milk, milk, semi-skimmed milk! Milk, milk semi-skimmed milk!” As it jumped in to the trolley who seemed to singing to “Trol-ly, tro, tro, trol-ly!”
The first thing that came to my head when I saw this was `I really hope that the CCTV doesn’t catch this!` But for a matter of fact, no-one seemed to take a glance at it at all!
You could just imagine what a sight this all singing, all dancing, weeks’ worth of food would like and not a single other person noticed. NOT ONE OTHER! Which you would notice if a singing and dancing roast chicken was tugging on your jeans!
After the last black forest gateau, which had a very high pitch voice, leaped in the trolley we steered it to the till as all the food went “WHEEEEEEEE!”
Surprisingly, the till had a song to sing, which sounded very much like the death march, but instead it had lots of `tills` in it. I said to myself at the end “I’m going to TESCO’S every day!”

The Skeleton by Jack S

Inside the dull old house, there was a family of four. Inside of their house everything was dusty because no one could be bothered to clean. The dad was flicking through the television channels he settled on a channel about squids and all types of strange creatures underwater. Surprisingly, when there was a splash of water on the screen all the dust in the house gathered into a pile on the floor.
The television had turned off when the dad looked back at it. He turned his head back to the dust only to see that it was spinning everywhere and had taken the form of a human skeleton! “What the heck?” The dad said. The skeleton turned around and asked in a stony voice “Who are you? And what are you doing in my home?”
The dad had fainted by the time the skeleton had finished. The children walked into the room to see a skeleton poking their dad. “Who are you?” The children asked “My name is … … I have no idea what my name is all I can remember is that this is my home and no one else’s.”
“Oh, well we bought this house because it was for sale … Also why are you a skeleton?”
“I also don’t know why I’m a skeleton… I think I’m dead.”
“Oh, Wait DEAD?!” The children ran into the kitchen and grabbed a frying pan and a fork. When they ran back into the living room the skeleton was gone and all the dust had come back their dad woke up and said “That was a weird dream.” The children said nothing.

The Alive Shopping by Kirsten

I happily pushed my trolley into the empty Morrison’s foyer; I was doing some ten thirty pm late night shopping for my 80th birthday tomorrow. My wife said I must go as it was my party. At least I like going unlike some people (yes, you Mr. Ball!). I grabbed a trolley and walked inside. Carefully, I took my list out of my pocket.

Shopping List

A chocolate gateau

A big chocolate cake

A bottle of milk

A deli platter

A block of cheese

Ribs

Crisps

Bread

Sandwich fillings

Some wine and beer

Sausage rolls

Anything else I like the look of!

As soon as I read the first thing out on my list, I heard a faint song.

‘Choc-late gateaux … Choc-late gateaux. I ‘m on my way!!! Choc-lat-ey’

It was all that I could hear, and then I could see a chocolate gateaux dancing it’s way to me! I was amazed. I called the next thing out on my list. “A big chocolate cake!” I called out.

Like last time, another song came.

‘Chocolate cake is on its way. It’s coming down the aisle. It’s big and round and full of joy. It’s a choc-choc-chocolate cake!’

The funny thing was as soon as they had arrived at my trolley; they jumped in and made themselves comfortable. I called many more out and the songs came again. They all harmonized together at one point. It was amazing, it was incredible. I was dumbstruck!

I looked round to see a couple of other people shopping, but no-one seemed to notice! Once my list was finished, I went round all the aisles just to see if anything else caught my eye. Annoyingly, every time I went round a corner, everything in my trolley went, “WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” It was funny at first but soon became annoying.

Once I had finished looking (and had picked up many more things) I made my way to the checkouts. I was worried about what the hot lady at the checkouts would say.

“Now listen up you… listen milk, alive groceries and foods. Behave whist you are scanned and tickled else…” I weirdly said to the contents of my trolley. But they had stopped being silly and were lied like normal groceries. Was I dreaming? Never mind.

“Hello, duckie. Doing a bit of late night shopping? You ‘avin’ a party or something?” the checkout assistant asked me.

“Yes, I am having a party tomorrow.” I replied. I packed my bags, and paid: I had spent a lot more than I had planned! I took my trolley back to the trolley park and loaded my bags into the boot of my Ford™ Fiesta and drove home. That was a weird shopping trip I thought. I wonder if anyone else has had one of them, have you?
