Chapter 1

Michael Fredsman woke up at 7:30 am for school.  Michael has three brothers and one sister. 

“Mom!” Michael’s younger sister, Carissa, yelled.  “Michael took the bathroom before me!” 

“Who really cares!?” Michael said.

“Michael took the bathroom 43 seconds before my turn!” Winston yelled.

Winston is the smartest kid in San Diego .  Maybe even in California .  Johnson is his blue-haired twin.  Johnny is adopted from Thurston , Texas .  It’s a city of 10 people.

“Come on!  School starts in five minutes!”

Michael rushed out of the bathroom, still brushing his teeth.

“5 MINUTES!” Michael yelled.

He rushed out the door.  Michael grabbed his skateboard and rode off.  Then, Nik, the bully, split it in half. 

“Loser!” Nik laughed.

Michael had a special ability.

“Water!” Michael yelled. 

He could use water type powers.  One second before the bell rang he bashed the door open to the classroom.

“MICHAEL!”  Mr. Leady Lead yelled.  He sighed.  “Just go sit down.”

“Our winner for the writing competition is…Ally!”

Ally jumped out of her seat.

“Who are you going to take with you to the 10 largest cities tour?” Mr. Leady Lead asked.

“Kyle, Mile, Adam , Ky , Johnny, Johnson, Winston, and Michael.” 

“Lucky I have a teleportation car,” Winston said.

“Ok then,” Ky said happily, “Let’s go!”

At 10:00pm, without telling their parents, they teleported to New York City .

Chapter 2

“Home, sweet home,” Ally said.  Ally was born here on April 6^th, 13 years ago. 

“I’ve always wanted to go to the Statue of Liberty!” Winston exclaimed.  The two twins went to the beach, Michael and Ally went to the Statue of Liberty, Adam went to the Capitol, Ky and Winston went to the Empire State Building , and the rest wandered Manhattan .  After the day in New York , they decided to go to Los Angeles .

Los Angeles was horrible.  *cough*

“It’s polluted!” Winston said.  After 2 hours in Los Angeles , they left.

Chicago was nice, but they only went to the Sears Tower , the 2^nd largest building in the world.  At the top, they looked down.  Michael almost had a heart attack.  They spent one day in Chicago .  Then they went to Houston .

Houston was like Los Angeles – bad and polluted.  It had a flash flood warning and they left immediately.

Chapter 3

“ Philadelphia !” Michael yelled.  Everybody in the state park looked at him.

“Sorry,” he said.

“Michael, you’re embarrassing us!” Ky exclaimed. 

“Is it too much for your complexion?” Michael asked innocently.

“You dirty…” Ky started.

“Hey, 7 sins!” Ally said.  “Are we going some where or what?”

“He started it!” Michael yelled.

“Everything is about you!” Kyle yelled back. 

“You’re the one whose brother backs you up!”

“Northern people,” Kyle said.

Ky, Michael, Ally, and Adam surrounded him. 

“Where are you guys from?” Kyle said.

“ Minneapolis , Boston , Philadelphia , New York .”

“Oh yeah!” Kyle exclaimed.

“Oh yeah, my backside!” Adam said.

“Attack!!!” Ky said.

Everybody was punching and kicking.  The next minute, they were in jail for public violence. 

“The fee is $500,” the sheriff said. “For each of you!”

“Out of here!” Ky yelled.  He paid the sheriff $500.

“Hey, Winston.  Don’t you have the teleportation car keys?”

“Oh yeah!” Winston exclaimed.  He pressed the teleport button.  “ San Diego , here we come!”

They teleported back to San Diego .

“Where were you guys?!” Michael’s mom yelled. 

“You didn’t tell her?” Michael said.

“Oops!” said Winston.
