Annabel and Emily's Story About the Future




May 18 2011
Tell the future
If I was in charge of everything in the future and my job was to think of new ways to power our homes, schools, hospitals and factories, my plan would be getting rid of fossil fuels and CFO’s and introducing electricity powered by water, wind and the sun.
It was July 17th and the President was coming to visit Chloe in her big house to talk about any plans she had in mind. They talk a lot about different ways to make Smallville a better place for everyone who lived there. The first thing they said could change is the electricity so that they can power their homes and buildings by wind, water and the sun.

The second thing they said they can also change would be keeping the streets clean so that we have a better environment for the world. The very last thing they talked about was the superheroes; they said that they would try to make everyone like the superheroes and to stop people talking badly about them.

The Blur and Green arrow was out saving people of Smallville while Tess and Lex Luther were in the Daily Planet building looking for trouble to start. Tess went over to Louis to get some answers about the Blur, they both new well who the Blur was but they did not trust each other, so Louis didn’t tell Tess anything about the Blur. Clark came back to the Daily Planet and Louis told Clark about the questions she was asking about the Blur. Clark and Tess had a big argument about what she was saying to Louis and in the end they worked out there differences.

Clark asked Louis to marry him and a few weeks later they got married and they lived happily ever after.

The End.
