Club Code Book 1: The Mysterious E-Mail Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Monday Morning
Carl and Karl's mom only lets them watch movies in the car on Sunday. No computer and no regular television. They rode the rest of the way to church, came back, goofed off, went to bed, and woke up. At 3:18 this time. "Karl!" Carl shouted at his brother. "You set it WAY too early!" "Sheesh!" Karl replied. "I only set it an hour and thirty-eight minutes earlier than you did! We can just spend every second of the extra time goofing off before school! It's Monday!" Carl sighed. "Yeah, I guess so." Karl walked towards Judy's room. "DON'T attempt to wake up Judy this time!" Carl told him. "Man!" Karl growled. They walked downstairs. Karl grabbed a piece of paper, quickly folded it into a paper airplane, and threw it at his victim. "Hey!" Carl shouted. Carl and Karl walked the rest of the way to the playroom. "Okay Carl, let's IM eachother." Karl hit the button on his computer, and Carl pressed his. They were ready for the start of today's "Bro Messaging". Carl sent this to Karl:
ਆ (Alt 2566)
Karl sent a weird symbol to Carl:
ǻ (Alt 507)
Carl and Karl started every morning like this. There's never a second when their inbox is empty.

On more thing. Chapter 5 (below) is officially called "B-Bo's ABCs".

Chapter 5: Halfway To Church
Later, their mom called them for church. "Mmph!" Carl said as he bumped his head on the front of B-Bo's carseat. "Let's go!" their mom said as she backed out of the garage. "Mom, can you please turn on a movie?" Carl asked. "Sure!" said their mom turning on the T.V. "It's you're favorite one." "Awesome! The Mega Monster Battle and the Fire Serpent Galaxy!" "It's turning on!" Karl said excitedly. When they saw the screen, they saw a pause symbol in the middle. "Um..mom? Can you unpause the video?" Karl asked. "Oh..yeah." she replied. When she did, a teddy bear was on the screen and said, "Ready Fluffy?" "Yeah!" A white cat responded. They sung at the same time, "A, B, C, D, E, F, G! H, I, J, K, L M N O P-" Their mother said, "Oops, I forgot I paused this when I got home from shopping with B-Bo." B-Bo laughed at the screen. "Fine, we'll keep it on." Carl said. Karl sat with his arms folded and his head down and said, "Notice how I don't agree with you."

Chapter 4: The Book

Carl looked completely embarrased about his mistake. "Well, should we show mom when she's up?" "Well," Karl said as he picked up a copy of a book called Club Code Book 1: The Mysterious E-Mail. "It says here that we should, because we shouldn't just leave without mom knowing where we are, and-" "Hey! Where did you get that?" asked Carl. "I found it." "Let me see that!" Carl shouted as he shoved Karl over. "It also says that you found this book and said, "It says here that we should, because we shouldn't just leave without mom knowing where we are, and - and that's where I shouted, "Hey! Where did you get that?" Then you say, "I found it." Next, I shove you over and I say "Let me see that!" And then it says I say "It also says that you found this book and said, "It says here that we should, because we shouldn't just lea-" "ALL RIGHT! WE GET IT, OKAY?" "Hey! You do know that whatever we say and do goes into this book, right?" "Duh! I know we're made up characters in a book because it says the raining gumdrops-" "Huh? Raining gumdrops?" Carl flipped the pages of the book untill he found these sentences: Karl looked ahead of the book to see the part with the raining gumdrops. Carl was baffled when Karl said the words "raining gumdrops." So Carl flipped the pages of the book untill he found these sentences: Karl looked ahead of the book to see the part with the raining - At this point, Carl slammed the book shut, squinted, and looked sideways without tilting his head. "This can't get any more dumb, can it?" "Oh," Karl laughed. "It sure can!" Karl grabbed a piece of paper off the ground and wrote:
Carl loves dolls and unicorns. He also peed in his pants.
"What did you do?" Carl asked. He flipped through a few pages untill he read this:
"Oh," Karl laughed. "It sure can!" Karl grabbed a piece of paper off the ground and wrote:
Carl loves dolls and unicorns. He also peed in his pants.
"What did you do?" Carl asked. He flipped through a few pages untill he read this:
"Oh," Karl laughed. "It sure can!" Karl grabbed a piece of paper off the ground and wrote:
Carl loves dolls and unicorns. He als - Carl looked up and held his breath. "THAT'S IT! I'M PUTTING THIS BOOK AWAY!" When he did, he sat down. Carl looked at the clock on his computer. "It's 5:21. And Karl, let's pretend none of that happened and we're still goofing off at our computer. "Okay," Karl giggled. "So that means that the contest will be held on March 3."

Chapter 3: How To Solve A Puzzle By Goofing Off

"RRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!" Carl and Karl jumped out of their bed "Yahoo!" they said quietly so they wouldn't wake up B-Bo. "It's time to get up! It's fou - um..4:56." Karl looked at Carl angrily. "It's your fault for setting the alarm wrong!" he said as he slapped Carl in his face. "Ya-know.." started Carl. "B-Bo's pretty good at sleeping through alarms." Karl rolled his eyes. "Only this once, because you set the alarm clock to ring too early!" B-Bo suddenly woke up and started to jump on the bed again. "Cot as cheez!" and he instantly fell back asleep. Karl said to Carl. "Well, let's go wake up Judy!" A baffled expression leaped onto Carl's face. "This early?" he said as he jumped into the air. "Yeah!" responded Karl as if it were obvious. Karl grasped Carl's hand and lead him toward Judy's room. Once they were in, Carl told Karl, "You do it, I'm not waking her up!" "Okay." started Karl. "1...2..3!" "WAKE UP! IT'S - um.." Karl dashed back to his room. He came back pretty quickly. "4:58!" he continued. "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WASTE YOUR SUNDAY SLEEPING IN, ARE YOU?" Judy snored. "I guess so.." said Carl. "Well, I'm going to go downstairs to the playroom and look at my E-Mails." stated Karl. "I'm coming too." replied Carl. They held onto the rail and walked casually downstairs. Carl and Karl walked in the playroom. They left off at where they were when they were goofing off. "That's a hilarious symbol!" said Karl as he looked at his IM. It said: ʱ (Alt 689). They were laughing their heads off untill Carl hit Alt 3..."Hey!" he shouted. Carl quickly opened the E-Mail with the weird puzzle on it. "That's the same symbol as the 1st one in the puzzle!" Karl asked, "What did you press?" Carl responded automatically, "Alt 3!" "Okay," started Karl. "Think off all the things that have to do with the number 3." They thought for about 5 minutes untill Carl had an idea. "C is the 3rd letter in the alphabet!" "Hmm...maybe that's it! Make a key up to 26! Carl made this:
A-☺
B-☻
C-♥
D-♦
E-♣
F-♠
G-•
H-◘
I-○
(etc.)
He didn't literally put etc, but you get it. "Okay," Karl said as he rubbed his hands together. "Let's decipher it!" They succesfully decoded it, and it said this:
Contest 3 days after.
"Sweet, we did it! I guess that means the contest is 10 days from today." Carl said. Karl replied, "We planned to show mom, but we solved it first!" "Mmhmm...let's show her now!" Carl said. "Sure!" said Karl in a sarcastic little girl's voice. "Let's show her a bunch of symbols at 5:14 in the morning!"

Club Code Book 1: The Mysterious E-Mail Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The Confusing Code
Carl and Karl were continuing to have fun goofing off at their computers experimenting new symbols by pressing Alt and a series of numbers on the right side of the keyboard. "I wonder if this will change." said Karl. He hit "send" and sent this to Carl: ◘ (Alt 8). "Hey, E-Mail!" They shouted together before Carl could open up his IM. They both opened it up. This is what it read:
Here's a puzzle you need to solve to actually qualify for the contest:
♥ ☺♣ ☺♦ ¶ ♣ ☺○ ¶ ¶ ◘ ☺◘ ♣ ♣ ♦ ☺ ☻♣ ☺○ ☺ ♠ ¶ ♣ ☺◘.
"Hmph!" grunted Karl. "They expect us to waste our Saturday doing that ?" "I guess so..." responded Carl. "Instead, how about we play with B-Bo?" "Yeah!" B-Bo is their baby brother. Carl tugged on Karl's sleeve. "Well then, you fool! Let's go!" Oh, and if I haven't mentioned, they have a sister that's older then B-Bo but younger then Carl and Karl named Judy. So out of the 4 kids, it goes:
Boy (Carl, Age 10, who was born 2 minutes before Karl)
Boy (Karl, Age 10, who was born 2 minutes after Carl)
Girl (Judy, Age 8, who was born 2 years after Karl)
Boy (B-Bo, Age 2, who was born 6 years after Judy)
When they found B-Bo, Carl picked him up and ran towards his computer with the E-Mail still open. "Okay, B-Bo! What's the answer to this puzzle?" B-Bo slobbered. "Affle!" "He says apple." said Karl. "You think apple is the answer to the puzzle, B-Bo?" B-Bo drooled. "Banama!" "He says banana." said Carl. "I wonder what Judy would think." replied Karl. "Too bad she's at summer camp, we could've lived with the fact that we knew what she said at this point of life." responded Carl. "Yeah," said Karl. "But we can live with the fact that we didn't know!" "Haha, yeah!" said Carl. "Time for bed!" called their mother, Marsha. "Hey, mom!" Karl shouted. "Can B-Bo sleep in our room tonight?" Their mother thought about it for awhile. "Alright," answered their mom. As long as you're not being loud. "Yahoo!" they shouted simultaneously. Carl and Karl already had already brushed their teeth and were in their pajamas. Carl pushed Karl a little. "Hurry up!" Karl ran close behind him. "Remember!" he called. "It's my turn to pick which bed he sleeps in! Carl, Karl, and B-Bo crawled into Karl's bed. B-Bo stood up and started jumping on the bed. He feel down on purpose. "Whee!" he exclaimed as he fell on top of Karl's stomach and a little on Carl's back. The door to the house shut. "Judy must be home for the day." retorted Karl. Carl and Karl gave a last hug to B-Bo before their first attempt to sleep for the night. It was 8:01. And B-Bo usually didn't get to sleep untill 9 or 10:30. They planned on getting up at 6:00 sharp. Their blankets rustled a little bit and all 3 boys' heads sunk pretty deep into the pillow. But Carl and Karl wondered what the correct solution to the puzzle was...They'd ask their mom tomorrow.

Club Code Book 1: The Mysterious E-Mail Chapter 1

I'm writing a story, so I've decided to post the 1st chapter on my blog:

Club Code
Book 1: The Mysterious E-Mail
Chapter 1: Carl & Karl
Carl & Karl were having fun goofing off at their computers experimenting new symbols by pressing Alt and a series of numbers on the right side of the keyboard."I hate it when I send an instant message to you and it comes out as a differet symbol." said Karl. For instance, he hit Alt, then pressed 2 (☻). When he hit "send", it changed to a different symbol. Some turn into this: /, But some stay the same symbol. Peculiar, isn't it? "I wonder if this will change." said Carl. He hit "send" and sent this to Karl: þ (Alt 254). "Hey, E-Mail!" They shouted together before Karl could open up his IM. They both opened it up. This is what it read:

All day puzzle contest on June 31 this year at the playground at your school.

"Cool!" said Carl. "That's 8 days from today!" "Yep!" said Karl. "It's the 23rd now - Hey! It doesn't say who sent it!" "What the?" Said Carl rather loudly. "Awkward...well, back to the important things in life!" Carl rushed back to his computer seat. Karl bolted to his. And they continued goofing off.

I hope you liked it! I've got a few more things to say. There is something suspicious in this chapter that will matter later in the book, so don't tell anyone if you see it. Just say "I know what it is!" The symbols in the parentheses might change when I post this, that's a warning. I only wanted the part that said Club Code to Chapter 1: Carl and Karl to be in the middle, so it'll look a little weird. Well, bye!

The End

We're having another Reflections contest this year, and the theme is boring. (Don't take it literally, Uncle Bubs.) The theme isn't "boring." This year, it's "Beauty is..." So I've decided to spice things up a little. I wrote a poem about the "beauties" of nature:

Meteor showers

crush May flowers,

explosives destroy

every plant.

Hornets will sting

every nature-like thing,

mutilation forms by every ant.

Asteroids start the destruction,

which makes nature a site of construction.

And the last you can expect

is a dinosaur reviving effect!

An atomic bomb will strike!

(This is what amnesia is like!)

An alien invasion will start!

Until death do they depart

once they are married

after the aliens'

romantic

date!

Hopefully this at least gets me somewhere...
