Dedicated to the real Gunner as well as our teachers for inspiring us.

This is for the real dog, Gunner, too, and to our teachers Mrs. J and Mrs. Lee for teaching us how to use grammar and spelling correctly, and for being our inspiration.

Hiya, I'm Gunner.

Chapter 1

TV Time

Ruff! Let's see what's on the TV.

I need to win the X Games! I'm sure Alyssa Will let me ski in the snow!

The one who gets first place in the X Games for Puppies (XGP) will get a medal and a dog treat!

I need to win!!!!!!!!!!!

 There will be no materials provided by the XGP except for sleds, skis, mountain climbing equipment, and skateboards.

Now we will stop for a brief break.

Time for bed, Gunner!!

Good night, Gunner!

Good night, Alyssa! I will train for the XGP tomorrow.

CLICK!

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE'S STILL INFORMATION THAT I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Groan]

[Bonk!]

Man, that's hard to push.

CLICK!

AAH!! What was that?? Gunner?

Gunner, I said go to bed NOW!

Hold on, just one more minute!

And we are back! As I was saying, no equipment will be provided by XGP, except skis, sleds, mountain climbing necessities, and skateboards. No more than that, and if you need something else, report to the station manager and

she will hide it and you'll have to track it down, like a treasure hunt. Further details may be found on our website. Now it's time for A Series of Unfortunate Events, told by Lemony Snicket!

I gave you more than a minute, Gunner, get over here!

Chapter 2

The XGP

(Training Program)

Here we go. Getting ready to train for the XGP. I'm gonna ski.

Here we goooo!

Phew! Finally at the bottom of the mountain! I am done training! Now I'm gonna go home and take a nice bubble bath while watching TV.

Time for A Series of Unfortunate Events!

Chapter 3

The Night Before XGP

Now that I'm done with my bubble bath, time to brainstorm my strategy over a small snack.

(6 hot dogs)

Hi Gunner! Sheryl and I wanted to stop by and tell you that we're making hamburgers for dinner!

Yeah! How are you doing Gunner? Still obsessed with A Series of Unfortunate Events?

Ruff! Yummy, hamburgers! And answer to Mrs. Lees question: Yes!

Hi Alyssa, Hi Sheryl. You guys are home early! I bet you guys had a light day.

Time to make dinner and dessert!
