Alex and Andy went down to

Baker Street to see what was going on down there.

Charlie decided to join them even though he was not really wanted for he was Andy's baby brother and he was only six.

Did Alex and Andy know what they were going to find down there? They were not really sure. That was why they didn't want Charlie to follow.

Exciting that this trip maybe they were kind of nervous as well

for what if something dangerous was happening for they did hear a loud noise coming from that direction, and they were curious. They had to

get Charlie interested in something else and they told him to see mommy maybe she needed some help making something in the kitchen for Charlie liked to believe it or not bake cookies and cakes.

He went gladly and went to ask his mother if she needed any help, and she looked at Alex and Andy and know something was up and decided that she did need Charlie's help with a few things.

Instinctively, she knew that Alex and Andy wanted to see what the noise was for she wanted to know what it was too.

Jonathan saw them leave Alex's house and wondered where they were going. He came out his door and asked if he could come along for they were friends and said come along we are going to Baker Street to see what that loud noise was.

Knowing there were probably many reasons for the loud noise they decided to share their ideas. Alex was hoping that maybe they were finally knocking down the old

library for there were stories going around that a new one with more things than books were going to in the new one like video games, even if they were learning games for some of them are kind of fun. As they were walking down the street they ran into

Mike, who when he saw them coming his direction yelled out "Where you guys going? Can I come along?

Now Alex, Andy, and Jonathan did not really know Mike for he was new to the neighborhood, but they decided maybe a new friend would be nice, so they all said come along.

Oh, they spotted Charlette, a girl who always seemed to get them in trouble, so they decided to dart around the next corner before she saw them. They hoped that she did not see them.

Perhaps, maybe if she did, she wouldn't tell on them all because a long time ago she was kind of a tattletale about town. So,

quickly they ran around the corner and made sure that she did not see for they did have permission for Alex's mom to go downtown. They were getting closer and then another loud bang occurred, and

rather than walking as they have been they decided to

speed it up so maybe they wouldn't miss any more than they already had already.

They were getting closer for it seemed that everyone was heading to town to see what the noise was.

Usually, the town was practically empty at this time of day for

Various reasons usually they were working wherever but being a weekend, the residents are usually at home relaxing or something.

When they all arrived and looked around, they stood in awe of what they saw for the sound was the old school collapsing for they all wondered for many had

Xenophobic reasons of that old school and the memories they all had there over the years.

Yielding to all the people Alex, Andy, Jonathan and Mike just stood there and wondered why it couldn't have been the new school, but they did like going to school most of the time.

Zealously they all headed home to share what they learned and told their parents what they found out about the loud noise they all heard that weekend.

(Note: I used 'Xenophobic' for the 'X' for I was thinking the people had many fears and I believe the term means 'fear of everything'. Not sure for certain, but the letter 'X' is a hard letter to figure. Thanks for reading my story it was fun.)
