The historical adventures #1 roman trouble



Hey guys I'm back and today I'm going to start something new which is pretty cool, every Tuesday I'm going to write a ... story . And today I'm going to write a story about the Romans.

THE HISTORICAL ADVENTURES


#1 roman trouble


"One unsurprisingly cold day in England, what could go wrong." said Benny. "Well quite a lot actually." said Johnny, his older twin by 20 minutes. "I should know" he said "because I'm older" "Yeah well, only by 20 minutes and 2 seconds" protested Benny. Then without much more fighting they got breakfast and brushed their teeth Johnny especially because he had a golden tooth at the back. Then it was time for their very sensitive Mum and video game loving Dad who usually took to school his Play-stater plus 2.0 gold limited edition ( But you and me can just call it the most recent games console) which was a much loved Christmas present even in January. "Oh come on ref why did you have to send off my star player ( who was probably Rooney dad was England crazy) in the world cup semi finals!" said their dad who has no discipline on Fifa. Then the boys did something very silly indeed they ran away and tripped over a tree root then they fell down a hole into ... ROME!

But not modern Rome, ancient Rome. They fell from quite high and landed with an "oof!" Sadly a Roman citizen was walking by and the result was not a happy person. Luckily the kind woman offered to take them home and raise them as her and her husband's own. It turned out that they lived in a huge villa with an atrium and a decorative pond and everything like that, she even gave them some money (preferably to spend at the Roman equivalent of a newsagent at the front of the house that the person named Lupus rented as he always did.) They actually thought about it but then they thought that they hadn't fought for 2 whole hours, well at least Benny was, Johnny was still thinking about something that hadn't been invented yet PIZZA. They also were very glad they didn't have to share a room "phew" they said exactly in time. They went to the baths with their new Dad and they felt like vomiting seem as everyone was naked but found a few thousand Aureus. They'd struck it rich in Ancient Rome! they then went home to find their new mum in pain and a doctor said to them anxiously "she going to die the way she is I'd say 24 hours at most." then an extremely strange thing happened they saw ... the one the only Pliny the elder. "Pliny Pliny" the eager boys said because they were meant to be starting a new topic on the ancient Romans "we want you to know that Mount Vesuvius will erupt in 79 CE so whatever you do don't go to Pompeii you will die of asthma we know because we're from the future!"

24 hours after the doctor's prediction was right, their new mum was dead. But surprisingly enough their old mum and dad came after looking and going home several times. Even more surprisingly they didn't have horrible bruises like the twins only the odd bruise here and there. But most surprisingly they found an alternative route down the Capitoline hill they found a teleporter in the forest back in the future and it just happened to be set to that day but then their mum and dad (the old ones keep up) accidentally pressed teleport. so the twins got taken home to the future.


what happened next

DAD- finally got a proper office job and made a late new years resolution to spend more time with his family

MUM- for the first time toughened up

BENNY- got into the football team and won the primary school FA cup

Johnny- ^

So that's the end of this week's story so


GOODBYE

  1. WoW!! This is an absolutely brilliant story! I loved the way that you used parentheses to give some more backgtound detail; and you used some amazing adjectives, and adverbs, that really brought the story to life! You finished off with a superb summary of "what happened next" to the family ...... I can't wait for your next story! xxxx

  3. Hmm...really nice story I liked the fact that Jonny and Benny were so good in the past they did not fight in the past Rome as they did at home and also that they enjoyed their adventure of time traveling.

  4. I loved reading this story, Oscar! It looks as though you really enjoyed creating this piece of historical fiction. I wonder if you like history in general? You also seem to know a lot about the Romans. So, they had atrium's in their houses? That sound nice, I think I'd like one in my house too. Keep up the good work with the Blog, I'm learning lots of new things by reading what you have to say - so thank you for teaching me with each new post you write. ☺
