Exams
I haven't been posting much because, believe it or not, I've been studying for the exams. They are coming up this week, two at a time! How much pressure are they trying to put on us? It's really stupid because we have to finish a science project, too. And we have to finish stories for English! I've been studying extra hard the last two days, so I decided not to do anything at all today, but now I feel guilty for not studying. Ugh. And I'm in a group with Kayla and Brittani and Dean for the science projects, and Dean is definitely not going to do anything. I really don't know what's happening.
Report cards are on the 21st and I really need to get good grades this term.
...
I have to get off the computer.

Mezzo Spruce: The Amazing Tree
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, when Earth did not even exist, there was a planet called Semkake. It was a very civilized planet. There were amazing technologies that you would not even dream of, and the citizens of this small planet were literally capable of doing anything. But out of all these wondrous, unimaginable technologies, there was a mechanism called the Mezzo Spruce that awed everybody.
An old inventor named Max Alexander Mezzo first created the Mezzo Spruce. He was fascinated by the future, and all his life, he wondered what would happen five, fifty, five hundred years from now. He devoted his entire life experimenting and trying to invent something incredible, which would, one day, show him the future. It took him nearly his whole life, but he never gave up, and sooner or later, he had invented something that nobody even thought of, something you would expect in a boring science fiction book. Max Mezzo died soon after constructing the Mezzo Spruce.
The Mezzo Spruce was designed to be indestructible. Nothing, no force at all, could destroy it. It would start off as a dull gray color, looking like something that you would pick up off the floor and put into the garbage. Then, after about a year of being fed and watered, it would turn into a little sprout. Then, it would start growing very rapidly into a tree. There was an extremely high-tech camera in the bark of the tree that would see everywhere on Earth, which would last forever. Although Max Mezzo could not witness the future himself, it became very useful to the next generations of people in the future.
There were only three exact copies of the Mezzo Spruce in the entire universe. One was kept on the planet of Semkake, one was sent to another planet close by, and the final one was sent to Planet Earth. It would be hundreds, thousands, millions of years before the Mezzo Spruce would even reach Earth, but better send them now then later!
A Billion Years Later On Earth
“Ahh,” Prince Freddy yawned in his sleep.
Freddy was a small young boy of only eight, but he was very much respected, for he was the King’s only child. He was very handsome, with curly blonde hair and light hazel eyes, just like his father, and he had his mother’s pure skin and fit figure. Everybody was good to him, and he was unquestionably spoiled. Prince Freddy was a wonderful little boy who was in desperate need of a normal childhood. He did not know how to run and play like all the other little boys, he did not know how to have fun.
It was a hot day in mid July and it was the Prince’s ninth birthday. What a wonderful day it would be! He would wear his best clothes, be served the best food, and receive gifts from all around then country.
“Prince Freddy Sir, please wake up! It is your birthday today and I do not want you to miss this special day in your sleep! There are already a couple dozen packages addressed to you at the door, would you like me to bring them up? Please wake up Sir!” Barbara the maid called to him through his bedroom door.
“Thank you Barbara, I am up. Please bring the gifts up, and I will be downstairs very soon,” answered Prince Freddy.
“Yes, sir,” replied Barbara.
The Prince enjoyed his birthday dearly. It started with a delicious pancake breakfast served by his mother, followed by family company, then there was a big feast for lunch, of cakes, fruit, meat, and drinks, all imported from different parts of the world. After a filling lunch, there was a lot of time left for Prince Freddy to go talk to his family visitors. He often went outside to check if any more packages had arrived, and there was always some more at the door. Finally, just before he went to bed, he opened all of his hundreds of gifts.
For his birthday, Prince Freddy received enough money to make a poor man rich, enough clothes to dress a hundred naked men, loads and loads of children’s toys and games that would keep a child busy for a lifetime, and a new humongous bed that could fit seven grown men. He had also got a million knew knickknacks that he knew he would never play with, and a million new books that he knew he would never read.
After he thought he was finished opening the majority of his gifts, he looked around the room and spotted a small, cube shaped box with sparkly red paper and a golden ribbon tied around it. It had no label, but it was just human instinct to open it. So, Prince Freddy slowly took off the golden ribbon and carefully unwrapped the red paper to discover a polished wooden box. He opened the lid of the box to find a seed. It was in the shape of a teardrop and had a magical glow to it. He didn’t know it, but that seed would become something magnificent one day!
Prince Freddy ran outdoors, the seed carefully embraced in his tightly held fist. He got to the garden, and found a spot in the ground where nothing else grew, where the soil was rich and fertilized, where he had easy access to, to water it every day, and where the Sun would never be blocked out. He dug a perfect sized hole, gave the seed a quick kiss for good luck, and carefully lowered the seed into the Earth.
It took about a year for the seed to grow into a small sprout, and until that day, Prince Freddy came outside to play around it, and take care of it. After the sprout, it started to grow very rapidly into a large tree. It did not grow fruit, or flowers. After about a month, it did started to grow leaves, lots and lots of leaves. They were all of identical shape, and it was definitely something stupendous, a magical tree for sure! It was so abnormally perfect, flawless!
Just a year after the tree stopped growing, Prince Freddy played around the tree all the time. He was becoming more active and had a lot of fun with the tree. But after a month of sheer happiness, Prince Freddy died after a long fight with the flu. It was a sad day. His family decided to bury him by his tree, because everybody knew he loved that tree more than anything else, and made his last couple years the best they could be. It was indeed a very sad day, and it was too bad that he passed away before knowing the secret to his beloved tree.
His tree was the Mezzo Spruce on Earth.
The people on Semkake were ecstatic to find out that their Mezzo Spruce had finally reached Earth. It had taken a little bit longer than expected. It was extremely interesting to them to see how Earth worked, and how people acted so differently. It almost surprised them when they saw how stupid the people could be. Everything was working out perfectly, and the people on Semkake could not be happier.
Over the years, the people of Semkake had noticed that the people on Earth had gotten smarter. They discovered new ways to do things, and invented new things that would help them in life. They still weren’t even close to being as smart as them, but they were getting a lot closer. They had even got a television, computers, and flying automobiles!
The people got more and more civilized. After a couple more years, it got boring for the people of Semkake. The people on Earth did not seem very interesting anymore. They didn’t do the stupid things they used to do, and they were a lot smarter now, and they kept getting smarter. They all came to an agreement to not watch Earth for exactly one hundred years.
100 Years Later
It was a long time after the people of Semkake stopped watching Earth, and they decided to check up on it. They opened the screen, and were shocked to see how horrible it was. There was horrible pollution; they obviously did not know how to handle fossil fuels! It was getting hotter and hotter, global warming had struck and they clearly did not know how to handle that either. There were far too many people and the plants were all in a dying state. They could just hear the animals calling for help. It was frustrating for them because they could not do anything about it.
The people on Earth were very calm. They did not seem to care what would happen to their planet. They just did what they did before, except some certain people. Some people were working so hard to get the Earth back to the way it used to be, but the majority were the people who didn’t care, and they majority was too big! The people of Semkake decided they would do something about it; they would try to help Planet Earth… but how?
They all got together to brainstorm ideas to try and save Planet Earth, but none of the ideas that they thought of seemed very possible… except one. They decided they would take their special rocket that had never been used before. It would go seven hundred thousand times the speed of light, and was very dangerous. It was very doubted that the people who got sent would survive all the way, but it was worth a try. It was the best idea they had, after all. It would take them about three years to get to Earth, and all the supplies necessary had to be provided in the rocket. It was worth a lot of money, and it took a while to get ready for it. They chose the healthiest people on the planet to go on their expedition, a man of nineteen-called Kody, a man of twenty-four named Kyle, and a man named Jasper of thirty years old. When they got to Eath
Three Year Later
“What was that?!”
