Think of a Wonderful Thought

Yeah, it’s totally a girl thing. Oh, yay! Good, because she’s really mean with them, oooh well I’m sure with your expertise on pranking, we’ll be able to think of something! I guess I could do that during my lunch break, mhhhmm. Maybe I’ll try the rollercoaster! That could be fun? They should totally have some sort of underwater ride though, wouldn’t that be awesome, Peter?

I'm not sure what we'll do to her yet but whatever it is, she'll never see it coming! Woah yeah! That would be really awesome! It could be like an underwater race and you could race with sharks and whales and fish! 

Well yeah!- Atleast, I think it is? Me and my sisters do them a lot, it’s totally fun but I don’t really think you want a makeover, Peter. Oooh, I don’t think I’ve ever done any of those things, especially not flying- is that even possible? Playing pranks? Ugh, my little sister Andrina does that waay too often to me, it gets like, really annoying very quickly. But, are you any good with pranks then, Peter? Because if you are, maybe you could teach me on how to get my own back!  There’s not a makeover ride on the pier, or anywhere, actually I guess you could like, call the salon a makeover ride in a way.

Ooooh you and your sisters, so its like a girl thing then huh. Are you kidding? I'm great with pranks! I play tricks on the old people all the time, they never see it coming either. Yeah! I could help you get her back! We'd have to think of something reaaally good since you said she does it to you all the time. No makeover ride huh, well theres lots of other rides too that you could try. You don't even have to pick one, just go on them all!

The lunch breaks they give us just ain’t long enough! They should be givin’ us longer breaks. You’re right, we should! Oh, and I’m Copper. I dunno if we got any classes together. You don’t look all that familiar.

Hey Copper, I'm Peter! Yeah I don't think we do, but I haven't been paying much attention to class either. Do you get work to bring home with you from your classes? Like, um what is it...oh! Homework! Yeah do you get homework? I got some but I'm confused, I thought that's why we're in school, y'know to do boring work and stuff. Why'd they give it to us to bring home too?

It is rather odd that we’ve all lost our memories. But you’re right, it does make the whole thing seem more of an adventure! Yes, I did! The HQ introduced me to these people I’m sure I have no recollection of; there’s Father, Mother, and I also have two brothers John and Michael. We’ve gotten on spendidly so far, well, except for Father telling me to grow up every so often. Perhaps we’ll feel more like a family in time. Oh, but you must have a mother and a father too, Peter! Everyone needs them. Maybe they’re still on their way?

Grow up? Why would he want you to do that? Yeah maybe, I dunno I kinda like being on my own though. I wouldn't mind if they didn't show up. What makes me so awesome? Well--- you reaaaally wanna know? I can tell you, but its a secret shhh

I don't think I'm likin' this school thing

School is so booooring. Let's do that instead! We're supposed to have recess anyway aren't we? I bet they won't even notice!

Yeah, I guess I am! Trust me, Peter, I don’t ever wanna me like her it’s just like, so rude. It really is, but I’m guessing your type of fun is totally different from mine, unless you want a makeover one day. Are there any other fun things to do around the island? I guess I do work at the pier but I’ve never thought of going on any of the rides before.

Good! A makeover? Oooh is that like a game? Of course! There's tons of fun things to do like climbing trees and playing pranks on people and exploring new places and flying and--- yeah rides too! What! Why not!? You like that makeover game though, isn't there a makeover ride on the pier that you could go on? I like the roller coasters best! You should go on those too!

To be honest, I can’t remember much of anything, let alone meeting a pirate. Does that happen to people here often, forgetting whatever their lives were like before? It was certainly strange having to be introduced to one’s own family. I do hope we get our memories back at some point.

I didn't remember anything when I got here either, weird huh. Oh well, that just makes the place even more of an adventure! Waaaait you met a family when you got here? I haven't met anyone like that. Yeah! I wonder what I was like before, probably as awesome as I am now hah!

I’m just as pleased to meet you, Peter! I did always wonder how that pinching idea would work. I mean, what if you’d simply dreamed you had pinched yourself, it wouldn’t work, would it? But don’t get me wrong, I’m ever so happy that this isn’t a dream. After all, I won’t have to worry about the danger of waking up back in reality, like people often do in at the end of books, you see.

Huh I've never thought about that before. It would be kinda silly to dream about pinching yourself though. Of course I would, it'd be like an adventure! Oh yeah real pirates, hmm I can't remember ever meeting one but something tells me they're not too nice. Don't worry though Wendy, if we run into them we can take 'em!

I certainly will! They would be, wouldn’t they? But I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure of your acquaintance…? My name’s Wendy- Pinching? Oh, alright, let’s see… ouch!

Oh hi Wendy, nice to meet you! I'm Peter! Hehee....ow! Yeah, I think you're right. But that's okay, this place seems like a really fun place to live and there's so many new things to see! And I bet we could find those pirate ships and Indian camps if we tried. 

Oooh, I like that! Nope… I never really thought it was like, that much of a big deal until now really. But y’know, I don’t really plan on growing up properly any time soon though, because that really would be boring. My oldest sister Attina seems to think she’s all grown up and she’s just so bossy and annoying all the time! I definitely don’t wanna be like that.

Ooooh okay so you're only like a pretend grown up then? Well I guess that's okay, since you're not all bossy like your sister. Yeah don't be like that, bossy people aren't any fun. Having fun is much better

Right? I’ve never noticed that until now. Ugh, you’re soo lucky! Jobs suck, like really suck. Especially mine, it’s almost like the HQ people did it on purpose to spite me or something I don’t know. Yeah— AWWW REALLY?!? That’s just so sweet of you to say! I take full credit to my sister Alana’s herbal facemasks though. Unfortunately I am grown up, but only just— I never even had a childhood, well not from what I remember.

Hahah I'm gonna call you Adelalalallala from now on, its more fun. You WHAT!?!?? Never had a childhood? That's horrible! You're really missing out Adelalalalla, childhood is lots of fun all the time! 

Goodness, how on earth did I land myself on an island?

Woah! Let me know if you find those okay? They'd be really fun to explore! And I don't think you're dreaming, unless I'm having the same dream too. Quick let's try pinching ourselves to see if we'll wake up!

Oh wow, no I totally can’t but you’re right about Peter! Peter just like, sounds exactly the same all the time. I guess my name kinda does too, except it has like way too many lalala’s so it gets a bit jumbled up, oh fins, I hope my sisters can’t just hear me say names over and over again through these wall, that would be like, sooo awkward! Oh that’s really cool, nope I’m not. I’ve been here for a little while now, still trying to find some fun things to do to keep my mind off my stupid job, ugh.

Adelalalallaa hahahah it sounds like a song! Ew jobs, I don't have one of those. I thought only grown ups have jobs. Are you a grown up? You don't look like a grown up. 

Yeah like, that’s so totally cool it’s a real pleasure to meet you! Oh yeah, well Peter is a lot easier to say and I mean calling you the greatest boy ever is quite a mouthful all the time. Peter is a lot simpler and stuff. So I’m guessing you’re new, right? 

That's true, can you say it three times fast? I tried, but my tongue got all twisted and it sound more like the greatest boy whovevevevid. But if you say Peter three times fast it sounds the same! Yep I'm new! Just got here like a day ago, are you new too?
