Becky & The Chocolate Fountain
It was a special day at the local cinema. Strange Hill was premiering two episodes, and everyone, bloggers, families and characters from CBBC - were invited. Mitchell, Becky and Templeton did nothing special, they just sold special Strange Hill High popcorn buckets. I mean, they were awesome, what with the main trio on it, but Mitchell and his gang never did anything exciting, aside from when they were fighting toilet knights and messing around with the school clock on TV. In real life, nothing intoxicating EVER happened to them.
“This is boring,” said Mitchell, “All we ever get to do is sell popcorn and admire our promotional images or cardboard cutouts of ourselves.” Templeton was already talking to himself - or rather, his cardboard cutout self. “Hello, you must be Templeton. I’m Templeton.” Becky groaned. “Yes, popcorn is boring. They taste of cardboard.” “Wait!” cried Mitchell, “Throughout this whole Strange Hill High sneak peek day, in one of the clips I asked for popcorn.” “That was when we were trapped inside that health and safety video,” reprimanded Becky, “If it were all Dora The Explorer then we wouldn’t have a narrator talking to us.” “Tell me about it. You should see what happened next door on CBeebies. Thousands of mums called in to say that Waybuloo had a wisecracking narrator that ruined the charm of the show!”
Becky wasn’t listening. She was thinking about all the moments when she shone in the series, such as when she sung about knowing if people were stuck in a dream. At once the first thought that came into her head was blurted aloud. “Ice cream head!” she cried, and all the cinemagoers stopped and stared at her. Becky immediately felt guilty. “Okay, maybe I should just…go,” she said, and she dashed under a white cloth laiden over something hard. She began to feel worried that what she said might get her into trouble, fire her from the cinema and even get her banned from CBBC for good.
Suddenly, Becky smelt something. A delicious, chocolatey smell. Becky peered out from under the table, and looked up. Something brown and melty was standing in pride of place in the middle of the table. She crawled out, got onto her feet and investigated what it was. It was a whole table, laiden with cakes and chocolates and sausage rolls and drinks. And in the middle of it was the most glamorous chocolate fountain you’ve ever seen. Becky drooled! “I’m in chocolate heaven!” she cried, and dashed over to the fountain to get a better look. She dipped her finger into the luxurious melty chocolate and tasted it. Mmmmm, not bad, she thought. She then rolled up her sleeve, dipped her hand into the chocolate and licked like mad. At once, just like a rat who tried a strawberry and a piece of cheese together, thoughts of excitement filled Becky’s head.
Fireworks going off in the night sky. Bubbles popping. A teddy bear exploding, sending stuffing everywhere. Then Becky snapped out of it, noticing a chocolate cake by the fountain. Using a plastic pink knife, she cut a big slice out of the cake and dipped it into the chocolate fountain. She tasted it. “Mmmmmmm!!” she cried. It tasted even better when dipped in chocolate fondue! She shuffled under the table and began to eat the slice by herself, while sounds of Mitchell calling “Popcorn! Popcorn! Come and get your popcorn in time for the - ooh, a chocolate fountain!” Wait, what?!
Mitchell went to inspect the chocolate fountain. Oh boy, did it look great. And when Mitchell tasted it, boy did it taste this luxurious! Mitchell took a sausage roll from the plate and dipped it into the fondue. “Ooh, yum!” he cried as he tasted it. It was the most funnest combination ever.
“Funnest isn’t even a word! Where did you get it from anyway?”
Er…Brother Bear: The PC Game?
“I’ll let you off.”
Mitchell took three more sausage rolls and ate them all up as he made his way back to the special Strange Hill High popcorn kiosk.
A few seconds later, Templeton inspected the chocolate fountain. He was very curious about the fountain, and took out some chips that were still left freshly cooked. He dipped them into the fountain one by one and ate them. They were yummy. So yummy in fact that Templeton took a straw and sucked a little bit of chocolate fondue out of the fountain, then burped! UUUUUURRRRRP! “Excuse me,” said Templeton, “Got a bit of indigestion trouble. Got to go and take my pills!” So Templeton went off to take his indigestion pills, because we all know what happens when Templeton eats potatoes and chocolate together, don’t we?!
Mr Abercrombie was coming out of the cinema after going to the toilet and into the lobby, when he saw the chocolate fountain up ahead. “Oooh yes!” he shouted and he dashed towards it. He took a packet of chocolate biscuits from his pocket and dipped one into the fountain. CRUNCH! Mr Abercrombie had never felt a biscuit taste this good before. “I could use one of these on a day off from school. The way I talked to Mitchell about his old school in episode 3 was quite boring.”
“WHAT?!” Mitchell overheard and stormed up to Mr Abercrombie in disgust. “Did you say my old school?” he said in a low voice. Mr Abercrombie dropped his packet of biscuits onto the floor. “Er…no!” he whimpered. “You did! I heard you!” And with that, Mitchell tackled Mr Abercrombie to the ground, wrestling with him and fighting with him like he joined WWE or something. A crowd of onlookers gathered to see what all the commotion was about, and began chanting “Mitchell Tanner! Mitchell Tanner!” as Mitchell fought for his right like never before.
Under the table, Becky heard the loud noises and lay down, huddled in a little heap on the floor. “Mitchell knew I’ve been to the chocolate fountain,” she whimpered, “And now he wants to fight people as a result! What will become of Mitchell now?” Becky began to cry hard. Her tears soaked into the chocolate stains all around her mouth as she tried to lick off the mess all around her mouth. Becky began to feel gullible - what if the chocolate fountain causes fights at the lobby? What if it causes disruptive violence? What if…it causes the end of Strange Hill High?
A theatre employee saw Mitchell fighting with Mr Abercrombie and tried to break them up. Upon seeing this, the crowd booed and blew raspberries at the manager. “No booing in this cinema, please, everyone out for causing disruptive behaviour. Now, Mitchell, get your friends and leave. This is no place to be broadcasting Strange Hill High now. From now on, screenings of the series are banned. All banned!” So Mitchell gathered Templeton and Becky and went off down the road to the park, where they sat together as it started to rain. The rain washed away the chocolate mess round Becky’s mouth and caused it to flow in a little river towards the drain.
It eventually made its way into the sewer, past one of those creepy giant worms and towards a hissing, spitting alligator monster, who saw the chocolatey mess and grumbled, “I was going to think it was chocolate, but now I think it might be runny poo. I give up.” It then made its way out into the water treatment plant, where it was cleaned to make richer, cleaner drinking water for human consumption. The water treatment plant forces chemicals out of the water so that it can be clean and efficient enough for people’s homes, baths and sink taps.
Meanwhile, back at the park, Mitchell took out his phone and went to Youtube to search up some funny videos to take his mind off of his brawl with his headmaster. When he looked around the recommendations page, he saw a video titled ‘Main Star Of Upcoming TV Show Fights With Co-Star!’. He dared himself not to click on the video, but he did, and the cheers of the crowd and Mitchell’s screams filled his head as he felt guilty over what he had done to upset everyone at the cinema. He dropped his phone into the drain and he began crying too.
The phone made its way along the sewer, past rats and giant worms and the hissing, spitting alligator who once again said, “I don’t believe it, first chocolate that turns into poo and now a bloody phone! I knew I should’ve stayed in the swamp.” It ended up at the water treatment plant, where some workers found the phone and fished it out with a net. They tried to turn it on, but it electrocuted and shut down. “We should call somebody,” said one worker.
“Mitchell, I’m so sorry,” said Becky back at the park, “I only wanted a taste of that chocolate fountain. Now look at me - a pink-haired wreck!” “You’re not!” said Mitchell, “You’re still the same cute girly genius everyone will know and adore.” “No I’m not!” whined Becky, “I ate the chocolate from the chocolate fountain and now I’m on the verge of getting tooth decay and bad grades and then I won’t end up on CBBC at all.” “BECKS!” cried Mitchell, and Becky stopped. “Think about what you’re doing to hurt yourself. You are not sharing with anyone, making the cinema a brutal place of war and savage fights. Next time, you have to share, or else you’ll never make any friends in your life.”
Becky thought for a moment. Then, as the rain stopped and the sun broke through the clouds, she calmly said, “I understand, Mitchell,” and hugged him like she never hugged him before. Templeton joined in the hug too, and later at home Becky wrote an apology letter to the cinema asking for forgiveness for eating the chocolate fountain that was used to promote the Strange Hill High screening. She wrote:
“Dear sir/madam,
I am writing to explain that I am really sorry for all the violence and disruption I caused over eating from a chocolate fountain. I understand that once again, I have to share with my friends, and I feel that what I did was wrong. So, can you make the screening happen again? Only if we promise to share. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Becky Butters.”
The screening did go as plan, and Mitchell, Becky and Templeton went back to selling popcorn. Mr Abercrombie went up to them, his arm in a sling and with a black eye too, and he apologised to Mitchell for mentioning his old school. “That’s okay, Abs,” said Mitchell, “We all have a tragic past sometimes, but now, we can forget it.” “Hey, how’s about we ignore the chocolate fountain and instead have some sausage rolls?” “Yeah!” said Mitchell and Templeton together, and so they shared sausage rolls together as a way of their new look on sharing.
Meanwhile, at the water treatment plant, the workers had made Mitchell’s phone into a huge robotic monster, who boomed “All sentient beings will phone their friends and cause violence among the world.” “Good,” said one of the workers, “Now go forth and cause chaos!”

Sybil & Friends In Australia: Pool

This picture above is of 47 ScreamStrt Drive, in Gold Coast in Australia. And in this lovely house, there’s a pool. A pool, you say? You might be thinking, “Sybil, you don’t live in Australia! You live in the UK!” Well, here’s a fact: since Scream Street aired in Australia, I have a big imagination which means I can go and live wherever I want. And that’s where I live. I live with my big brothers Luke the werewolf and Resus the vampire, my big Egyptian mummy sister Cleo, my three uncles Mike, Alston and Niles, my two aunts Bella and Sue, my mum and our two pets Dig and Lulu in this warm, cosy tranquil house right here in the Gold Coast.
It all started during the February summer (don’t laugh, it really is Summer from December to February in Australia), when the sun was bright hot and it was the type of weather for frying an egg on the hot road. It was so hot the crocodiles in the zoo were swimming around the keep cool, and wherever there was a wizard or witch or fairy, they were too baked to do any magic, especially Luella, who lives a few doors down from us. In our house, it was so hot, Luke, Resus, Cleo and I were lying flaked out on the sofa, looking as if the sun had drained the life out of us. “Whew,” I sighed, waving a paperback book in front of my face, “I feel like I’ve been in an oven for 10 hours.” “Who thinks that a young boy with fur under his skin could become a cake baking in the oven?” asked Luke. “I might be too furry to put into a cake if I turn into a werewolf.” “Summer’s great fun, and I bet the other kids in our neighbourhood are having water fights right now.”
I shut my eyes and tried to imagine Bluey and her family having a water fight with water bombs and water soakers in their backyard, their squeals of laughter filling my head. But suddenly, I realised. “Look look look, guys, I think we remember that time when Bandit forgot to take all the boring stuff to the pool..” Suddenly, an idea popped into my head like a badger in a tight hole. “THE POOL!” At once my heat exhaustion quickly fell from my head, and Luke and his sister and brother sat up. “Pool?” asked Luke. “You mean, the one outside?” asked Cleo. “Yeah, baby!” I cried, “Come on, let’s go and get changed.” “Did someone say pool?” asked a joyous voice. It was Uncle Mike. “Hi, dad,” said Luke. “We’re going to get changed. It’s pool time!” “Woohoo!” I cried. “Count me in,” said Uncle Mike, “I’ll go and tell the others.”
While I was in the bathroom getting changed, it felt like I was changing into my swimming cozzie for a long time. I had to stand there by myself so my siblings won’t see my private areas. Here’s what I said, which is much like what an ABC Me or Kids star would say if he or she were in a dressing room.
“Can someone answer my agent? It feels like I had a slight wardrobe malfunction here. Mmmm…yes, that chocolate fountain’s waiting for me in the dining area. Hoo, I think my bum’s exposed. What’s that, Bandit? Yeah, you can let Unicorse eat the last remaining cheese sandwiches made by the best boy. My big shot is coming in April, I can’t miss it. It’s my chance to be a star, now I’m starring in a documentary for synchronised swimming in Sydney. And Felicie, will you be my backup synchronised swimmer?”
“Who’s Felicie?” asked Luke. “The star of the film Ballerina!” laughed Cleo. “Although we prefer non-CGI Angelina Ballerina.” “Yeah, that drama queen of a Nutcracker mouse who’s always hitting her hormones hard over her friends, family and teachers.” Just then, the door opened and out I came, posing like the cover model for InStyle. “Ta-Da!” I said. “Oh, who’s ready for the pool?” and “Looking good!” were the responses of my friends. Resus pretended to use an imaginary camera to take photos, then a fan wanting my autograph, and then a reporter for ABC News, with his best Aussie accent. “So, Sybil, are you looking forward to swimming outside?” he asked, holding a pretend microphone to my mouth. “Your unicorn cozzie’s trending really well.” “Actually, yes, I love going out into the pool, though we have to look out for unicorn-eating komodo dragons sometimes.” “Then let them eat this!” Resus pretended to shove his pretend microphone into my mouth, knocking me to the ground, then he started to tickle me. Luke and Cleo laughed. Resus was always the playful one, no matter how sarcastic he tried to be.
Luke and Resus got changed next, while Cleo and I waited outside. Here’s what they said. They might be relevant to what they would say if they had a trailer for ABC Me:
“Don’t walk in on me, directors, getting changed here! When was the last time you used the toilet, Yoohoo? Gosh, it stinks of pink adorable lemur pee in here. What’s that? Your pee makes…lemonade?! Eeeeewww! And that must be you, Pear. Tell Orange to keep quiet until our pool break is up. Muffy, I can’t believe you have a pool at home! You must really be the star of the Crosswires for some good reason. If you grew up then and there, you’d be a movie star!”
That’s Luke. Here’s Resus.
“I’m so happy you called Luella. WHAT?! I’m embarrassed because you were caught posing for InStyle magazine, with a pair of unicorn goggles and pink zinc? Cool! All I need is my swimming trunks and then I’m ready to hit the pool. It’s not every day Chilli was last since wearing yellow zinc suncream with a pair of green and red crab goggles while filming the Bluey episode ‘Stickbird’. Speaking of, want to know what my predictions for the forthcoming season of Bluey would be? Relax and Stickbird would be a two-parter in disguise. It’ll proceed other episodes that came before it - Early Baby and Mums & Dads, Duck Cake and Handstand…anything, really.”
Outside in the backyard, Cleo and I were applying suncream zinc. Cleo applied blue zinc to her face, while I applied yellow and pink zinc, stripes down my arms and legs - yellow on the left, pink on the right - and pink and yellow zinc all over my face like I was supporting the Maroons or Blues during the State Of Origin game. “ROOOOOAAAARRR!” I yelled, pretending to be a lion watching a football game. Cleo jumped, and fell backwards into the pool. SPLASH! Her zinc washed off. “At least you turned the pool blue,” I laughed. “Well, the water is blue after all.” Cleo and I laughed and laughed. At last, all the grownups came out wearing coloured zinc and their swimgear, and Luke and Resus charged out wearing their swimming trunks. Luke’s was orange, while Resus’ was black with red stripes. They too were wearing coloured zinc - Luke had orange zinc, while Resus had green.
“Cleo’s already in, that’s great!” cried Luke. “I’ll dive in first!” I cried, “I’m a good jumper.” With one big leap I dived into the pool, splashing Cleo. I emerged, shaking my head as water sprayed everywhere. “And that’s why Aussie homes come equipped with pools.” I said. Luke came next. “CANNONBALL!” he shouted, and he leapt into the pool, splashing me and Cleo. We screamed as Luke emerged from underwater, much like a model in a perfume advert. “What’ya think?” he asked. “Hot!” I said, clapping my hands excitedly. “There are better boys I’ve fallen for.” said Cleo. Just then, we heard a frightened scream, and saw Resus falling into the pool. Niles had done it! Resus emerged coughing and spluttering as Luke and I giggled. “Daaaad,” said Cleo, “You know you shouldn’t be nasty to Resus.” Niles blushed. “Sorry, princess. I thought it was more fun. Plus, I got the dragon and unicorn floaties.” “Yaaaaaaay!” I cried, but then I stopped. “But we can’t divide the pool, or else we’ll go to war. Each of us will have to share the dragon and the unicorn together.”
“Still, what are we waiting for? Let’s kick back Aussie style!” cheered Luke, and we started splashing each other, laughing as we did. While the grownups sat on the comfy seats and talked, Niles blew up the unicorn floatie, while Luke, Resus, Cleo and I relaxed in the pool. “Aaaaaaahhh. What a lovely day to play in the pool.” I sighed, sipping an imaginary orange cocktail. “Want one?” “Sure, if that’s what a star mummy does.” Cleo took a sip of my imaginary cocktail and imagined that sun turning into a giant orange slice. Cleo suddenly remembered words she learnt from her friend Orange:
“Remember, don’t you DARE think of me cut in half!”
“Oh! Sorry, Sybil, I was just drifting into a dream where everything was as fruity as a reality show.” smirked Cleo. “Maybe something was sprinkled into your cocktail. Could it be…unicorn juice?” I looked over the side of the pool and called to Niles. “Uncle Niles! Is the unicorn floatie ready yet?” “Not yet, sweetie!” called Niles. I sank back into the water, my eyes drooping with disappointment. “Don’t worry, Sybil,” reassured Cleo, “I think this time we really do smell of blueberries.” “And I smell like popcorn and candyfloss at a hippy market!” I added, feeling quite happy again. Just then, I saw Luke partially transform his nose and mouth into a werewolf snout, and sniff the air. “Is that…” And then he turned towards me. “Mmmmmmm…popcorn!” he drooled.
