The Missions of Agent Cool Wing (Chapter 5): by Cool Wing
[Continued from October 2009's newsletter!]  Cool Wing was walking through her yard at Shark Tooth Island. Then suddenly Serious Fox was flying out of nowhere! “HELP!!!!”She screeched. Agent Cool Wing Finally found her friend! “I’m coming Serious Fox!” Said Cool Wing as she dashed off to where ever her friend was going. Serious Fox was surrounded by none other that her fearless if not fear making captor! NED NOODLEHEAD?!?!?! “What in the world?!” Exclaimed Cool Wing as all of her friends came out and said “SURPRISE!!!!!” It was all to cheer her up! “Guys, You are the best friends EVER!!” Cool Wing said as they shared a group hug! “Oh and Ned Noodle Head was dressed like you to Cool Wing!” Said Golden Eagle as they were playing Sky Dive!

“This is the Club Penguin mine while many come here, they are almost always underground. Penguins hardly come to the outside of the mine shack,”
“Excuse me, but who are you?”
“Well, now that we have reached our desination, I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Peggy, Peggy Penguin and I have had a firm belief for years that there is another world out there! Seeing you amkes me think my theory is correct! So what is this Poptropica like?”
“Well, it’s-”
“THERE IT IS!!!” yelled a familier voice.
“OH NO! THERE HE IS!!!” cried Peggy.
Sure enough, when I turned around, there was the policepenguin I met before.
“RUN!!!” Peggy and I cried together.
Peggy’s flipper grabbed my hand and we dashed into the mine. There were mine carts inside.
“I’m not very good at cart surfer,” said Peggy.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you!” I reasured.
We jumped into a cart and pushed off.
“This isn’t so bad,” I said.
“No, but the corners are coming up!” Peggy yelled. She started screaming and covered her eyes with her flippers.
“LEAN RIGHT!!!” I yelled and leaned to the right.
“Ok!” Peggy leaned with me. Together we raced through the tunnels, leaning at the corners.

“OH NO! THE REALLY SHARP TURN IS COMING UP!!!!!”
I could see just up ahead there was a really sharp turn. I turned around to look behind us.
“That Policepenguin is catching up to us!” I exclaimed.
“We’ll just have to hope we’ll make it. WAIT A SEC! I GOT IT!” Peggy cried. “Hold on!”
With this she held up the cart vertically above her head. I held on tight as she ran around the corner and then put down the cart. She gave it a push as she jumped in. I tturned around to have a look. Sure enough, with the shock of seeing Peggy do her stunt, he crashed into the corner.
“HE CRASHED!!” I screamed happily.
“His was a damaged cart. He has no spare lives for his cart. He’ll have to turn around,” Peggy said.
“OH NO!” she screamed.
“What?” I asked.
“Th-the-the track! It’s about to end!”
Ahead of us was the end of the tunnel- as well as the end of the track.
“AAAGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!” we screamed as we flew though the air. Quickly, I grabbed Peggy’s flipper and jumped out, just before the cart smashed into a wall. We landed the floor.
“Where are we?” I asked as Peggy came to.
“The inside of the mine,” she muttered as she shook dizzy fog out of her head. Then she brightened. “We have to go!” She then grabbed my hand and we ran. [To be continued in future Poptropican's 911 issues!]

The Unknown Island [Part 3]: by Sparkle Star/Green Seal
[Continued from October 2009's newsletter!] “Are you crazy?  It’s absurd, illegal, and it’s… dangerous!” Green Seal said, her hands on her hips.  “Well, what other choice do we have!?” snapped Friendly Heart.  Green Seal mulled it over.  She sighed, “You’re right… I guess we have to do it…”
***
Friendly Heart tip-toed silently, then placed the wrapped box by the ground beside her.  She tip-toed back behind the Fly-By-Night Airlines building.  “Done,” said Friendly Heart.  “Good,” said Green Seal.
The unsuspecting pilot walked over to the box, and opened it.  He carefully took out a pair of goggles (turquoise-colored with engraved turtles on the sides) and held it up to the moonlight, where it shone like stars.  He beamed, and looked at the other contents of the box, seeming very intrigued.
“Three… two… one!” Green Seal whispered to Friendly Heart.  The two friends walked slowly, cautious to stay out of the pilot’s sight.  They tip-toed around the building, and went directly for the plane.  While the pilot was busy examining the goggles, Friendly Heart and Green Seal set out in the sky, the wind blowing in their excited faces, and the stars lighting their way.

Incomplete Island – Part 3 – My Half’s Keeper: by Golden Cheetah
[Continued from October 2009's newsletter!]  Every muscle tense, Golden Cheetah spun on her heel to face the  ghastly being in charge of this dreadful place, and saw… herself. But this creature was so horrible, so mutilated, that she could hardly call it that. “Welcome, dear, to my lovely home, soon to be, I fear, your permanent residence.”

The creature said, cackling wickedly, a dark glow in her empty eyes.
“What are you? What is this dreadful place?” Golden Cheetah could barely keep the shake out of her voice, and she was quivering madly. Even though the Merry Band-er always had sustained a tough exterior, she began to tear up in her eyes. “Why are you doing this?”

Gldn Chth laughed. “Is it not obvious? Am I that dense? Let me explain…”The half-person gestured towards the wall, and Cheetah began to tune out. A hand snapping across her face brought the girl back to reality. “Don’t zone off, fool, this is important. I guess, I am the fool. I shouldn’t be telling you my plot. That’s the mistake of every great villain. You’ll soon see for yourself.” The evil counterpart spun on her heel and stalked off, leaving Golden Cheetah at the mercy of two partial B.A.D. agents, one of whom came forward with a large needle, and then, the world became very dark…

Golden Cheetah could feel a blurry figure in the edge of her consciousness, and dragged herself awake. She was in a metal room, looking at a window, her own face peering back. Gldn Chth looked at her counterpart. “Ahh. You’re awake. All’s  well. This laser,” she pointed at a large scanner that was rotating around Golden Cheetah’s body, “Is scanning the body parts of yours that I do not have. After that, I will receive replicas of them… and you will take up a rather permanent residence here, while I return to the outside world.”

Golden Cheetah struggled. “What exactly ARE you? I mean, you didn’t just…grow, did you?”
“A wise question, obviously. I began as an entity, a buildup of many things,” Gldn Chth gave a small half-smile, “I fear that I am your fault. I am YOU.”
“You can’t be! I gave up my plotting long ago!” “Ahh, but I am. I am a buildup of your negative thoughts, and you see, all of us are. None of us know quite how we became physical beings, but for one word. Kingskeep.” Then, there was a whirring noise, and a click, and the laser stopped its scan. With that word in mind, Golden Cheetah let the guards drag her away. [To be continued in future Poptropican's 911 issues!]

The Official Adventures of Silver Sneeze: Chapter 2, Hamburger Goes Missing: by Silver Sneeze/Berry Fudge Yummy
[Continued from October 2009's newsletter!] “Lady, will you be quiet!” said Stunning Nails.
“Sorry!” Bubbles grabbed a cup of coffee and dumped it on Nails’ desk.
“Whaddid you have to do that for?! I’m getting Boa!”She started dialing a number on her ShellPhone. Soon, Boa came.
“Oh, good. I’ve wanted to see you-”Boss said.
“Boa, she dumped-”Nails’ started.
“Yeah. Whatever. Okay, so first of all, where is Sneeze? I can’t find her. And congrats on getting the part!”
“Thanks! Oh, she’s around the cafe.”
“Best. Girl. Ever!” She slapped her hand and walked away. Nails poked her tongue out at Bubbles. Menawhile, at my office…
“Hey, Bubbles. Okay, Bubbles got the part!”Boa announced
“OMG. OMG! Oh. My. Gosh. Oh my gosh!”I was super shocked!
“Yeah, yeah. Calm down! So, you have to make an ad with ‘er in it. Here’s the photos from the photo shoot” Boa handed me a few photos made of bubble paper.
“Oh. And I can’t find Hamburger. Seen her?”
“Nope”
“Oh, well. She’ll turn up soon.” Boa accidently thrusted her clipboard on the floor without noticing and walked out. I’ve always wanted to see what kind of work she does so I picked it up. There was a tiny letter on the front. HAE45R.
“What on Reality TV Island is that supposed to mean?”I said loudly.
“Did you say something, dear?”Boa was only halfway out the door.
I hid the clipboard behind my back.”Uh, no.”
“Yeah, I might get a hearing aid tomorrow.”she kept walking. I searched on Google for HAE45R. It was on Wikipedia.
The HA45R tunnel in Masachusetts, USA is believed to be the home of the great villian, Baby Tushy. To access it you must dig exactly under the Molly Hover Platform Station. But no one dares do it. HAE45R is believed to stand for Hot America Episode 45 Rewind.
“Baby Tushy? What kind of a name is that? Hot America? My favourite show to watch in the US!! Okay, now.” I started to search for episode 45 of HA. Then I rewinded it. Suddenly I felt a strong wind that seemed to be coming out of the computer. Then ‘ching’ a shovel seemed to go out of the computer and landed on my desk.

The Adventures of Shaggy Starfish: by Shaggy Starfish
I went to Spy Island from Shark Tooth Island to check on Director D after I stopped him from turning Poptropica into a land of hairless people. I went inside the Head Quarters (it was empty), and went up to where Director D was prisoned. But instead of seeing Director D, I saw a laser cage stuffed full of, well… spies. “Get us out of here!” one of them yelled angrily. “How did he do this?” I muttered out loud and shaking my head. One of them replied, “He called me because he was hungry, and then when I came up here, Director D got this gun out and zapped me in this laser cage! I called help and then he zapped all of them in here. Then he lasered his way out of his own cage and escaped. And now he’s looking for you!”
I spotted something that was dropped on the floor. The spies couldn’t reach it from their cage. Director D must have dropped it while he was on his way out, I thought. I picked it up. It was a remote. I pressed the large red button on it. Instantly, the laser cage went out and all the spies walked away. The spy who had explained everything to me had stayed there. “Director Starfish, you need to find him and bring him back. We believe he is hiding somewhere near.”
“But how do I catch him?”
“That’s up to you. You’re the director here – you should know what to do.”
Then he walked away and came back to me with the three spies that I had rescued from my last mission. “You may need some back-up,” he said. “Director D has stolen some gadgets from Dr Spyglass. He is more powerful than ever, so that’s why you’ll need to bring these spies with you..”
“Alright, then,” I said.
“That’s not all,” the spy replied. “Dr Spyglass has invented a new Chameleon Suit, so it’s bullet proof and laser proof.”
Then the spy gave me a phone. “Call me if you need more spies. Good luck on your mission, director.”
I left the Head Quarters with the other three agents. They were dressed the same as me. I took charge. “Split up and see if we can find that culprit. Call me if you find him, or if you need help!” I said, waving my new phone in the air. The spies headed off in different directions. I headed for the docks. I put my phone in my pocket and got out my laser gun, just in case someone decided to fire off at me. I knew the suit was protective, but still. Anyway, the spy in the trash can hissed, “Psst! Over here!”
“Okay,” I said. “Have you seen Director D?”
Then the spy’s eyes suddenly open wide, and I got a feeling of what – who – could be behind me. I slowly turned around, seeing Director D, gun raised, ready to fire at me. I didn’t put my hands up. I raised my gun just like him, and we began to circle each other.
“Ah,” he said, relaxed. “The annoying Agent Starfish.” I felt my cheeks grow red. “It’s DIRECTOR, not Agent.” I said, annoyed.
“So what? I don’t care either way. You’ll never stop me this time. I’ve even got more weapons than you.”
Director D pointed to a satellite that was behind him. “It’s my brand new satellite. It doesn’t only get rid of people’s hair, it gets rid of PEOPLE! And hopefully you’ll be my first victim.” He grinned. Now that set me off! I fired at him and he jumped behind a trash can. I saw Director D get out a remote and press a button on it. I looked behind me and the satellite turned so it was aiming at me. Then it shot out a huge, big red beam at me. “Oh no…” I said. [To be continued in future Poptropican's 911 issues!]

Island Ideas (Submit Your Own)
Exploration isn’t all about land and water. Here were some ideas hatched up by Neat Whale, a Poptropican who likes to explore her imagination!

Katie’s Tale/ Phoer’s Journey Island (based on the book by The Boot, which can be read here: http://loopedylooploopshoop.wordpress.com/story-links/katies-tale/): What would happen if you needed to help Katie,Phoer, and Prokk stop Talika and General D’vark from taking over Earth? This is the island where you can do so!

Paper Flowers Island (also based on a book by The Boot, which can be read here: http://loopedylooploopshoop.wordpress.com/story-links/paper-flowers/): Harold and Grada need your help to stop the evil monsters from taking over. Can YOU defeat them?

Harry Potter Island: You can meet Harry, Ron, Hermione and everyone else as you journey through Hogwarts and help Harry on his exciting quests!

Pet Island: by britneyspearsb2
10 pets was kidnapped by an poptropican named Alfie who hates pets and your mission is to find the pets. First, you will have to find 10 keys hidden across the island. Then you go to Alfie’s house and see 10 cages. Easy? No way. Alfie’s friends will be guarding the keys and if you want a key, you will have to defeat each of his friends. They are very strong so if you are not strong enough to defeat them, you will never get the keys.

Once you get all the keys and free the pets Alfie will come and attack you. He hates garlic so use the garlic you got from the grocery store on your way to defeat him. He will start to run away. Go back to the main street (the animals will follow you) and look for a lady crying. She has blonde hair and wears a black dress. Talk to her and say I found your pets. She will then start to smile and give you the islands medallion AND she will let you keep a pet of your choice. Your mission is done!
