This is a unique idea from one of our mods, where we start a story, and each person adds a 3-5 sentence paragraph to continue the story. You may not post back to back with your own paragraph, and may not post twice on the same day. Also, no drastic changes like turning a medieval story into a space alien story Opening: George yawned sleepily and reached above his head to try to work out the kinks in his shoulders that sleeping on the bus inevitably formed. He froze, however, when his fingers first brushed, and then caught, in something that felt like a massive spiderweb. He lay there for a moment, mind still fuzzy with sleep, and tried to recall anything on the bus that could possibly have formed this texture, but nothing came to mind. After a few moments' dread, he dared to open his eyes, only to find that *somebody* had taken it upon themselves to "decorate" the bus for Halloween. His fingers were now caught in a twisted-toilet paper web that, like the rest of the bus, was covered in colourful strands of silly string.

Startled by the sudden changes in the bus's decor, he rolled himself out of bed to see who this *somebody* could possible be. Ducking silly string and toilet paper spider webs, he made his way (very carefully of course because one can never be too sure of what this *somebody* could have done to the floor) to the bunks of the other lads. One, two, three, four-- all asleep! This worried George more than anything else. After shaking awake all the lads, he called together a Thunder meeting to get to the bottom of this strange occurence.

George sits them all down on the couch and stands in front of them. "Now which one of you did this?" They all look nervously at each other. Not wanting to get in trouble with George, or even worse....Sharon! It's silent until.....

"Watch out!" Damian yelled Keith ducked. Behind him was a what looked like a ninja star. George walked over and pulled it out of the wall. "What is this?" He asked. Paul took it, "What has batman got against us." In his hand was a batterang.

"Weve gotta do something about this! we cant have ppl wrecking out bus and trying to hurt us!" Keith and Ryan get up and stand next to George. "We'll protect the band" Then all of a sudden!

A huge bump threw them all from their seats! Keith and Damian landed in a heap on the floor, Paul was thrown against the ketchup on the wall, and George and Ryan JUST managed to escape the Keith and Damian pile-up. But while this huge bump knocked everybody all over the place, it also revealed a box that was wedged beneath a bottom bunk. George very cautiously picked up the box and opened it. As soon as he did, the opening strains of "The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" could be heard, but while everybody else was listening to the pretty music, George was more concerned with the note inside.

"Guys, I think you better check this out," George mumbled, standing and walking over to the lads who were still strewn about the bus. They got themselves settled in random seats around the bus, prepared to hear whatever George had to say. "Listen to this. It's got to mean something," George continued. "'Here is a riddle, for your Halloween'," George went on, reading the note. "'Which one of you think you can see the truth hidden behind all the things that aren't truly what they seem.'" He lifted his eyes from the note to raise an eyebrow at the other lads. "Now, what does THIS mean?"

"Don't touch anything!" Keith yelled "Why not?" Ryan asked. "You watch those crime shows we got to preserve the evidence." "Damo, put the candy bar down." Paul yelled at Damian who was eating a candy bar that was on his bed. The guys started to carefuly collect all the decorations. "Hey guys I think I found something." Damian said he was looking at one of the spider webs that was hanging.

"Eeew, that's pretty gross!" said Keith (who doesn't much like spiders). For there, against the wall, was hanging a big toilet-paper spiderweb, and this big spiderweb had in it the biggest fake spider any of them had ever seen. But that was not all, for attatched to this spider was a note, and on this note, Paul's name was hastily scribbled. "That's not creepy at all," stated Damian (sarcasm). "Hmm, I look pretty good as a spider," was all Paul could say.

Keith looked around the bus, staring at all the decorations, scrutinizing the handy work. "I think Paul did it!" He exaggerated, pointing an accusing finger at Paul. Paul, rolled his eyes and shook his head. "If I did it, then why would I put my name on a note?" He reasoned. Keith nodded. "I see." Damian fidgeted in his spot, staring at the candy bar. "Although, I have to say, whoever did this, has amazing craftsmanship skills." Paul praised. "Maybe it was Keith." Ryan suggested, Paul just shook his head. "Nah, Keith isn't man enough to make fake spiders." Keith glared as the rest of the group chuckled at Paul's statement. "Maybe I did it. Did I do it?" Damian asked, earning confused and amused stares. "Damian, if you did it, then you would remember. Did you get enough sleep last night?" Ryan asked. Damian nodded, staring at the candy bar. "Maybe you should lay off the sugar." George suggested. Ripping off a drawing of a jack-o-lantern from the wall. "I don't like pumpkins with faces." He mumbled, binning the paper.

"Guys time to go." Sharon's voice rang through the van. She walked onto the bus, seeing the trashed bus, and the guys still in their pajamas, "What happened here?!?" The guys looked at each other, "HE DID IT!" They all yelled simultaneously, pointing at each other. "Look I don't care who did it, just get ready now." Sharon left. They guys got ready, and left the bus. When they came back around noon, the bus was spotless except for the carved jack-o-lantern on George's bed.

George let out a shriek no one would think possible to come from George. "Get it off of my bed." Paul snickered, walking over to the bed and picking up the jack-o-lantern. Once again, there was a note, but this one had been sitting on the bed, under the jack-o-lantern. Paul picked up the note, looking at it in disbelief. "If I'm not mistaken, the note's written in the Greek alphabet," He mumbled, showing the note to the other guys. "Anyone know how to read it?"

Keith cleared his throat and took the note. "Let me see what we have here." He mumbled scrutinizing the paper. "Well, it certainly is greek." He stated, as the group waited in anticipation to see what it said. "Well we have some A's triangles and circle looking things." Paul sighed. "You can't read greek can you?" Keith shook his head and gave the note to George. "Who here knows Greek?" Ryan asked. "I might." Damian said with an innocent smile. "You might?" George questioned. Damian nodded his head taking the paper. "Well, it's simple really..."

"You just go to the internet type in Greek alphabet and voila." He turned his computer around to show a Greek alphabet with English letters next to it. Paul then hit him, "What was that four?" He asked. "For being a smarty pants." Paul said. "I was doing what you asked." Damian argued. While these two were arguing Ryan had decoded the messaged, "I have figured it out." He yelled. "Well what does it say?" Keith asked. "It says," Ryan started.

"Jack is nimble Jack is quick, flamingos sleep on one leg.." Ryan told them, the whole group stared at him in confusion. "Well it's either that or, Jack is nimble Jack was quick, None of you can escape my trick. Yeah that's definitely the translation." George looked over his shoulder and Keith smiled. "Whoever jack is, he has nice rhyme." After this he began to search for his guitar. "Hey has anyone seen smokey?" he asked then the group started to look for his guitar. Damian stopped, sniffing something sweet. "HERSHY BAR!!" he shouted as he pulled a candy bar out of the hollowed pumpkin. "Only Damian." Paul sighed as Damian unwrapped the bar and started to eat the chocolate until he bit into something plain, thin and nasty. It was a paper that was folded and placed in the back of the candy bar, already halfway in Damian's mouth. "Neato, I found a note. Maybe it's a discount for the candy barrel!" Damian hoped as he unwrapped it, the group watching him intently.
