Blackberry the Raccoon

Hi! Today when I was outside I saw something in the water. It seemed big. All I really saw were 
bubbles in the water. It's in the lake behind my house. What if it's a monster? I'm going to tell my mom and see if some detective could come or something.

My mom got a detective to come. They are talking right now. I heard Dr.Jungle (The Detective guy) Saying he was going to bring an alligator to go under in the lake and look for what is making the bubbles and weird noises. I hope they find what it is, because if they don't, it will just make me more scared. Oh, also, tomorrow I have school. :( Oh well. At least I have this awesome teacher called Ms. Spots! She's really nice.





I'm at school. I told my best friend, Lilac, about the thing in my lake. She's going to come over tomorrow so I have something to do when Dr. Jungle brings the alligator. I'm doing math right now. I'm not very good at it we are learning Elapsed Time. It's weird. We know this stuff and we don't know that we know it! I've been like "It may take about two hours to get there and a few minutes." before and I didn't know I was doing Elapsed Time! Streak went to the principal's office for hitting my friend-ish Bamboo. I couldn't believe he did that! Bamboo is with the teacher and her 'best friend' Red is with her. Streak is with the principal. Lilac is beside me she is the fox! :)


Dr. Jungle is back he brought the alligator. His name is Memphis. Lilac and I are playing ball. My mom said we have to stay away from Memphis and let him focus, also make sure the ball doesn't land in the lake. Sometimes Lilac and I go over when he comes up for breath to ask him if he found anything. After a while, he came up with a sword and said he found it at the bottom. Memphis thinks it's from the Great Phantom War! I wonder if we have an ancient phantom ghost lurking our waters... One weird thing was I never knew how much 'orange seaweed' we had in our lake. Memphis was covered in it! O_O Next thing my mom may need to be getting some people to come take all that seaweed out. I never knew seaweed could even grow in lakes.







Dr. Jungle came over again. Now instead of the monster, we're working on that sword Memphis found.    I have kept away from the lake so far. I've decided to do that until the detectives find out what's in the water. I was looking out the window when I saw a white- ish cream blur. I went outside to check, shaking. All I saw was piece of fur. I look back to what I know has fur like this tan-cream shred I found. I know my friend Chip from my class has this kind of fur. Also my neighbor Holly has some tannish fur like this. The fur could have belonged to Red or Lilac, but it seemed too light to be their fur. 







There is this new guy in our school called Rusty. Once he joined our class Lilac will NOT pay attention to me. IT IS SO ANNOYING!! I was at the library and they were talking. I usually read books with Lilac but today I read with Bud. I got book one and two of this series called Warriors. Bud is starting it with me. We've become pretty good friends since Rusty came around. There are some other books by the same author as Warriors and I think after I finish the series I'll start reading Seekers!

 My mom let me invite Bud over to our house. She's really nice. We went playing outside. I was showing her some things. I totally had forgotten about the monster. I went to the bank of our lake. Bud and I were pretending we were bakers and were making stuff out of the mud. Yes, it is weird now that I think about it. Then, out of the blue, Bud fell into the water! She came out different... very, very different. She even acted different. I'm scared. Seeing Bud like that reminded me of the monster in my lake! Did the monster do it!? I ran inside screaming!
At school today Bud was still acting weird. I stayed away from her. I decided maybe to try and join Lilac and Rusty in what they were doing but Rusty said something to Lilac and I wasn't allowed in. When I went to get my book I had been reading, I couldn't find it in my desk. I saw Rusty with the same book. I walked over and asked "Hey Rusty, where did you find that book? I have the same one and it is missing." Rusty just shrugged and said. "Sorry. I got this one at the library last week. I guess you should keep looking." I am SO mad at him. He stole my book, it is plain to see! And guess who was there with him? Lilac, smirking.
Memphis came back to our house. This time he didn't bring the sword or his microscope. He said he came to finish looking around the lake. I watched carefully. As he dived in I saw a big blur of cream-ish fur. Purple was mixed with it. I got scared so I decided to watch from a distance. I went inside and peeked out the window. It was the same cream blur I had seen last time, and I wondered if the strange shade of dark purple was Bud. Bud did seem different and weird, also she was not at school  a long time today. She left early during Social Studies. I hope Memphis is ok and he doesn't come out of the water like Bud did!

 From Rusty's Point of View: 
Ugh. Blackberry is so annoying. I have no friends so I went for the weakest one in our class, which was Lilac. She'll believe anything. I asked her if I could get the address to Blackberry's house. When Lilac asked why, I said I was just curious and wanted to know where her best friend lived. 
Wait a minute WHAT? Rusty is just pretending to be Lilac's friend? Too bad I didn't know that before the bad stuff struck…
I went to Blackberry's house on my bike. I told my mom I was going over to Lilac's house for a bit. I put my bike by  a tree with a big canopy of leaves so I could try and hide it from Blackberry. Then I crept into her lake. 
I know what you're thinking. Rusty isn't the monster. He was trying to scare me, that's all. 
I wanted to scare her. I stood in  a shallow end of the water until I saw Blackberry coming outside. Then I dived under the water. For some reason she stayed a good distance away from the lake. I decided I would just poke my head out and yell or something. So I did. "OMG! Rusty! What are you doing here! Are you that Lake Monster?" She said. I was confused. "What lake monster?" I said. Blackberry just yelled at me so I got on my bike and rode home…

Same pic, just my point of view.
I was inside talking to Memphis while my mom was talking to Dr. Jungle. "Blackberry you should go play outside I'll talk." My mom said. I went outside. When I came out, I remembered the monster so I stayed away from the lake. I head an AHHHYA sound and I turned around scared. Rusty was in my lake! Was he the lake monster? I bet he was! URGH! "OMG! Rusty! What are you doing here! Are you the lake monster?" I said, annoyed. Rusty looked confused but I knew it was fake."What Lake Monster?" He fake asked. "You know! Go home! Please leave my lake! You've cause enough trouble already!" I said. He got his bike and rode home I think.
Memphis said he didn't see anything in the lake, but I have a feeling he did. A while later we went inside alone. Dr. Jungle was talking to my mom in the kitchen so we went to the living room. He told me that when he found the sword, he didn't find it. It was more like given to him. He said he was under the water, searching for the monster. Out of the random, everything went black and he felt something shoved into his hand. That was the sword. He got tied up in orange seaweed and was pushed up to the surface. Once he felt air, he woke up and saw the sword. He said he found it so that nobody though anything! WOW! I think Memphis really witnessed the Lake Monster! And I don't think it's Rusty anymore, either…


I went to school. I think I might talk to Rusty and say I'm sorry. It might make Lilac like me again, maybe. Bud wasn't in school. I went over to Rusty. "Sorry Rusty," I said. "You're not the Lake Monster. I just think I have one in my lake but now I heard a story about it and I don't blame you as the monster." Rusty turned around. "Ok good, I though I did something bad." He said. You have done something bad. You've stolen my best friend. Made her evil. I though. I want to be friends with Lilac again, but I think as long as Rusty is in our school I won't be. D:

Ugh. Rusty is introducing his brother, Splash, to Lilac and me. I'm not interested in becoming friends with Splash. I don't need another Rusty in school. I'm best friendless right now. This Friday I didn't invite Lilac over to my house like usual, and she didn't ask for me to come over to her house. I wonder is she was invited over to Splash and Rusty's house or something. What do you think I should do to make Lilac my friend again?

Splash is NOTHING like Rusty! He's really nice and friendly and forgiving. I was checking out books with him. I think Rusty doesn't like it. Same with Lilac. They were stealing glances at me saying stay away from him pretty clearly. I don't care. I need a new friend since Bud has turned weird and Lilac has been with Rusty. I guess Splash might be that new friend!
My mom took me to the pet shop today. She took pity on me after losing some of my best friends. ^_^ There are a lot of pets. I think I'm going to get a turtle but who knows if I will. Some of the dogs look pretty cute. Here is what I have in mind:
Turtle
Bird
Dog
Hamster
Which one should I get?

I got a dog! I LOVE dogs so I knew since that was an option I could get one. I called her Cocoa!  I hope Cocoa likes me and her new family. While we're at the store, we're going to buy a pen for Cocoa too! I'm so excited I got a pet!


Ms. Spots' niece joined our class. I hope she's as nice as Ms.Spots! So many new kids! Her name is Silver. Silver isn't much like Ms. Spots. I think. Today she was getting all these girls into a group and not including the people she didn't want to or like at her lunch table. I think Silver likes me. She asked if I wanted to join her 'Friend Club." I said maybe. I didn't want to seem mean but I don't want to join that mean kids "Club." Ms. Spots was smiling. "Looks like you have some friends Silver." She said. Then she walked away with a smile. Ugh. 


I'm going on a trip to New York with my DAD! He came home from work so we could go together. My Grandpaw is coming too. I'm so excited! Uh, see ya!
Here is a picture of me, my mom, my dad, (orange raccoon) and my Grandpaw (Yellow raccoon)
Wow. New York is HUGE! I went to Time Square. It is amazing! We saw the ball that drops on New Years! There was a guy called the 'Big Red Ellie' playing the drums at Town Square and as people walked by he would hold out his hat asking for some money… weird…

My family is riding back on the plane. It was a fun trip! I'm going to tell my friends when I get back! Right now I'm on the plane…. Only an hour and a half I guess back… I'm sitting with my Grandpaw. :)
I came back and realized we have new classmates. Lily and Flame. Silver was all over Flame the day he arrived at school, basically. The only other snow leopard in the class, other than Mrs. Spots.


Ok. Silver has been talking Flame into doing some things he's… not supposed to I'll say? Also Lily just met Skipper. Pair or not a pair? Hey at least she's not going on about the annoying Rusty!

Knocking over the statue or what?

Our class is doing a school project. Since Bamboo was not at school today and same with Bud, Red had to join us  and we were a threesome. There was a nest in the tree. I could't see it too well but uh Splash helped me see it through the leaves.


Hi! Mrs.Spots announced we were going to Phantom Camp. It could be fun but I don't know what is so fun about training to fight phantoms. My parents agreed and signed the form. I'm a bit nervous about the camp.


ALMOST SUMMER! Yay! The only bad thing is about summer is it is hot and I'll have to attend the Phantom Fighters Camp. I went to the pool with my mom and saw Splash and Rusty there. Weird. 

And then I accidentally was like "Oh that's Splash from my school." And FOR GOODNESS SAKES! My mom was like "Cool it's almost summer." And took a picture. -_- (Her editing was neat though, hey!)


Last day of school is tomorrow. There is a new life guard at the pool. He's pretty cool I guess. I went up to talk to him and he said his name was Ruff. We talked a while. He used to work at the Summer Carnival but his parents forced him to be a life guard like his sister. That's sad. I wouldn't want to be forced to work somewhere.


Whoa whoa whoa wait a second…Let me look at that picture again.. Who is that.. guy with the eye-patch? Behind the smoothie machine? Oh great. Investigation.

The thing that has started to bug me - who is that lion guy? I wonder if he's the monster in my lake. I wish I could find him again. I went to the pool and left a note at my house saying I was at the pool and it was urgent. I found the lion and tried to talk to him. I've been trapped!
This is weird. I have entered some sort of creepy place where I guess the plushie that stole me lives or works or... holds prisoners.. Here is what I am seeing right now. I have just gotten a chance to see the plushie's face clearly. It's a lion with an eye-patch. Creepy.

I know it has been exciting to learn about my life so far, and actually, Cosmo rescues me and explains there were some chosen to defeat a phantom invasion that will come at some point. The lion thought I was Lime, another raccoon chosen to fight the phantoms. He works with the D.Z company. Cosmo said D.Z stands for Destroy Zios. I was brought home safely by Ruby the Rhino shaman, and that's that. I checked out a cheetah called Lemon's blog, and it almost explains all that Cosmo told me.
