Jay tossed and turned around on the comfortable bed. But this time, the bed was feeling as hard as rock to him. Blake was right next to him, sleeping soundly. How can we find the Flame without Lord Cormandes finding us? Jay thought worriedly with a mix of confusion and deep thinking. Hmm... Maybe we can distract him and some of the others can look for the Flame... A noise rocked around the window. Jay jumped, or more like reacted quickly
(Author's note: How can you jump while laying down?...) to the noise. Blake shifted too. Jay hopped out of bed and looked out the window. Blake followed. "Three, two, one!" Jay yelled. The curtain swished open. "Ariel?" Blake questioned. "Oh, I've always, for some reason wanted to do this!" Jay said sneakily. While Ariel was, well, sleepwalking, Jay formed a big bubble of water and dropped it on Ariel's face. SPLASH!! "AAAHHH!!!" Ariel shrieked. "You know I was awake already!" Jay smiled sheepishly. "I've always wanted to do that on you." SMACK! Jay came back out, staggering with a bright pink mark on his left cheek. He put up surrendering hands. Ariel suddenly brought up the topic." How do you think we can get the Flame?" "I don't know, but I have a small plan." Jay said with the same sneaky face.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
