Amy couldn't wait for the Christmas dance. She was so excited that she couldn't concentrate on anything else. The week leading up to it, she drew doodles of herself wearing her dress and a sparkling tiara instead of taking notes. The night before the dance, she noticed that she was getting a small pimple on her nose. It was just a tiny little mark, but she imagined herself with a great big pimple. She worried that she would look like Rudolph the Reindeer in all the photos. She grew gravely concerned. So she ran to the store and bought a tube of every kind of pimple fighting cream available. Then she went home and applied large globs of each of them to her nose. She went to bed that night satisfied that she had done all that she could to fight the blemish. When she woke up, she ran to mirror hoping that the pimple had vanished. As she gazed upon herself in the mirror, she screamed. The pimple had not vanished. Worse still, a bright red rash covered her entire nose.

Axel was the toughest kid on the playground. He wore a leather jacket with cutoff sleeves and metal studs on the shoulders. He had a Mohawk hairstyle, listened to punk rock music, and hung out with the older kids. He rode his skateboard to school and did noseslides on the bike rack. He viscously beat anyone who challenged him. Yet, after a long day of being really tough, Axel's mommy tucked him into bed at night. Then he snuggled up tightly with a fluffy pink bear that he called Mr. Tickles.

Cassie was unhappy in her relationship with Richard. There wasn't anything wrong with him. He did cut her off occasionally while she was trying to speak, but he was generally a good guy. She just wanted something different. She decided that tonight she would break up with Richard. When he arrived at her house, she wanted to talk with him about it, but he rushed her out the door. "No time to talk now, Babe," he said. "We're late for our dinner reservations." She figured that she would tell him at the restaurant, near the end of the meal. She would even offer to pay. So they enjoyed a delicious meal together. Then, right before dessert, Cassie opened her mouth to let out the fatal words. "Richard..." she began, but Richard broke in, "Oh, Babe, I got a surprise for you." He pulled a small white envelope from his pocket. "Two front row tickets to see your favorite band, The Mountain Boys!" Cassie's mouth dropped. She loved the Mountain Boys. Richard backpedaled, "I'm sorry that I cut you off again. What was it that you wanted to tell me?" Cassie looked down at the piece of cake in front of her and replied, "Oh, I forgot. Nothing important."

It was the ninth inning and Bryant's team was down by two. Runners were on first and second base and Bryant was up to bat. He could tie the game, maybe even win it if he got a good hit. Bryant stared down the pitcher with a cold steel gaze as the ball floated from his hand. Everything seemed to move in slow motion. Bryant twirled awkwardly. He swung the bat and somehow hit the ball with the bottom of the handle. The ball gently bounced away from Bryant and landed directly in the third baseman's mitt. This caused a force out. The third baseman tossed it to the second basemen, causing a second force out. He threw it to first, and Bryant was responsible for a triple play. As the players lined up to exchange handshakes at the end of the game, the pitcher stared coolly at Bryant. They shook hands, and the pitcher said, "Nice hit, Champ. Way to get a hold of it." Bryant had never felt more embarrassed.

Max hated Brussels sprouts, but his Dad always made him eat them. One night an idea came to Max that would allow him to escape this cruel fate. He decided that he would feed the Brussels sprouts to his dog. This went well at first. The dog hungrily consumed the sprouts. Max's dad was pleased too. He congratulated Max on eating them all. "Normally it's a pain to get you to eat those, Max," He said. "I'm glad that you stepped it up." Max basked in his father's approval and felt quite clever. Then his dog let out a yelp. Max grew concerned. The dog was walking in a circle and hacking. His Dad asked, "What's wrong, Boy?" Max attempted to distract his father as he tended to the dog, "He probably just needs some space, Dad." Max's father looked at him curiously, right as the dog vomited a stream of Brussels sprouts.

The police thought that he was a criminal. Property owners felt that he was menace. But Noodles considered himself an artist. He painted huge murals with his spray cans. Noodles' artwork was everywhere. His name blazed on water towers, billboards, overpasses, and anything else that he could reach. One day, Noodles painted his name in big block letters over the window of the local grocery store. When the storeowner arrived the next day, as he attempted to remove the paint, he was heard to utter, "Oh! Thank you. How nice of you, Noodles, to paint your name over my store window like that. I really appreciate it." He never got to thank Noodles personally, though he often wished that he had.

Annie Allen loved her fiancé Scott. Annie loved him so much that he was all that she thought about all day. Feeling particularly in love with Scott, Annie thought that she’d surprise him with romance, so she snuck into his house using the spare key under his doormat and waited in his room for him to come home from a business trip. While waiting for him to come home, she thought the surprise might be even better if she hid in his closet. So she did. Twenty minutes later, she heard keys rustling in the lock. The door slammed, and then she heard the sound of feet walking up the stairs and Scott’s voice. “You know I can’t wait to see you, Baby,” she thought she heard Scott say. He must be leaving me a message, Annie pleasantly thought to herself. Then she heard Scott continue to talk. “No, she’s nothing serious. And besides, you know you’re the one I love, Katie.” Annie’s heart dropped. She grabbed the pepper spray from out of her purse, unlatched the safety, and felt her hand tense on the release button. Scott walked into the room, smiling and laughing as he flirted with Katie on the phone.
