It was July 2016 and the US Olympic team had just won gold. Everyone met for breakfast after their celebratory pizza karaoke party the night before. They got a call from Domino’s Pizza in the middle of breakfast. Domino’s asked the team to represent them in several TV commercials. “OOOOO” they said! “Of course we’ll do it! Free pizza!” “I’m Megan! I’m Bella! I’m Julia! I’m Drew! We sure love Domino’s. The chosen pizza of the US Olympic team!” After days of commercial filming and pizza eating, the team was sick. The team met for a swim practice and they felt different. After a few minutes in the pool, they emerged different and soggy. They had transformed into actual pizza. A member of the diving team approached the pizza people and treated himself to a nice hearty lunch. The End

Dear God, can we have superpowers? It will be so cool. We can have superheroes fighting off criminals faster than police. If we can have superhero families, we can fight off multiple criminals at once. We can have super cool hero names that people will remember and we can return lost things to citizens. We will be so popular that will make for us. If we have powers the world be a better place without criminals. The End.
