Here are some old stories we dug out.
Warning: You may laugh uncontrollably at the random stuff we came out with over the years...
First: A Hope story. (below) Next, scroll down for a a bunch of Robin stories, then a bunch of random art from Hope, aged probably 8.
I wrote this story in first or second grade. It was in my first notebook ever, which was Olivia the Pig themed, and I'm the only one who can translate. It was my first story in a notebook! Below, you will find my scanned pig notebook, a translation of exactly what I wrote, spelling errors and all, then one where an English teacher wouldn't freak.

Chapter One: The Sewer
Once there was a family that had a lot of pets. Their names were: Alpha (roadrunner), Ruby, Sam, and Alicia. The family's names were Chrystal, Quin, King, Queen, and Robin. Now that you know them, maybe a story:
One day in the morning, Alpha was the first one up. She ran into Quin's room. She yelled, "Wake up! It's morning! I want breakfast!"
Quin and the others were up by then.
Robin ran downstairs after Alpha, but since Alpha was a roadrunner she could not catch up.
They made pancakes because they were almost the only things Alpha would eat for breakfast. Alpha almost pounced on the sugar bowl! She liked sugar on her pancakes! Queen, on the other hand liked bumbleberry syrup,
Robin liked strawberries, Quin liked blueberries, and Crystal liked apples on hers.
Alpha found a note in the sugar bowl. It read, "When you go outside today, you will have an adventure and fall in a place, then land."
"Read me the rest of the riddle," said Quin. "You girls have school,"
"Darn it!" said Chrystal.
"I am staying here," said Alpha.
Alpha went to school.
"Boy, do I want to walk to school," said Robin.
"Why?" said King.
[footnote] The Riddle
"Because we can follow the riddle" she said back. "OK, everyone could."

Madison the Mayonnaise Fairy
What makes your veggies bearable, what makes your nachos just perfect, is it sour cream, salsa or gucamole? Or is it mayonasie or ranch dressing? Well, your favorite dip was either made by Madison, Reyna, Gabrielle, Selena or Sara. They’re food faries they make all those delectable dips that are just divine! These books are about 3 girls. Megan, Ally and Charlotte. (triplets to be exact) A smarty pants A tomboy And a girly girl actually. All these girls were so selfish and bratty that the faries (with their magical dips, of course) had to help them. There was a catch though.... the oldest and wisest faries were helping other kids! So the Fairy Council had to put the YOUNGER fairies on the job! So the faries and the girls got into a spot or 6 of trouble!

Now, an art portfolio from 2007-2009
I totally remember this play I wrote. We acted it out, and Robin went cuckoo!
Narrator: There once was a queen called Gwen. Gwen kept her daughter, Grace inside all the time the thing that Grace needed was a friend. One day there was a fairy named DaisyFlow and she happened to meet Grace one day. The 2 became friends imeditly. They danced, said goodnight DaisyFlower saying she would not stay for the night for she knew what it was like to have no friends.
There was more, but this was all I could find. I will fill you in accordingly.
OK, so I think this is what happened:
Gwen caught DaisyFlower, then she couldn't bring the special flower petals into the world to change the season to spring. Then DaisyFlower's friend Foxglove came to rescue her and Grace. However, she couldn't find her way. Meanwhile, Grace woke up and found that DaisyFlower did not show up in the morning as promised, and then panicked. Foxglove found a waterfall staircase that she couldn't climb up, but then found the cheerful guardian of the staircase, Mr. Manatee, eager to rescue the princess and her fairy friend. All escape, and then they spread the spring petals all over. And happily ever after, etc. I may consider putting this on Junior Nook.
