"Alright class, settle down. I'm about to give the assignment of the week," Mrs Kimball announced.

Most of the class kept doing what they were doing, Nelson is one of them.

"Okay, so I was in my owner's room, which is also my room, and I checked what he watches on TV.....you know what I saw?" Nelson asked.

"He watches Food Network, doesn't he?" A kid asked.

"Not only that, but he watches 'My Cat from Hell'! I swear my owner is terrified of me!" Nelson laughed, the other kids laughing with him.

"Meem!" Mrs Kimball yelled in anger, "do you want to have your next comedy show in the Principles Office?"

Nelson straightened up, and stood completely still.

"Heck, no, ma'am," Nelson replied.

She nodded.

"This week's assignment will be...... drum roll please, Gilbert!"

A chubby kid in the back started to slap his stubby hands on his wooden desk.

"Write your own book!" She announced.

It was silent.

"Stupendous!" Cheered some weird nerd.

"Can we make comics instead?" Nelson asked.

"No! In fact, I don't want you putting any illustrations in your book, except for the cover."

Some kids frowned and whined at that.

"This will be due on Monday.....but! If you want this special voice changer," Mrs Kimball held up a yellow box, "you'll have to hand it in tomorrow!"

The kids laughed.

"Do you think we're 8?" Asked a kid, laughing at himself.

"Can it make you sound like a demon?" Nelson asked, perking up.

"Sure!"

The Teacher changed the mode to demon, and talked through it,

"This one's called 'You're all going to die tonight'."

The teacher giggled.

The kids were kind of disturbed at what she said. One kid bolted out of the classroom and screamed down the hallway.

Perfect....

"I'll have it ready for tomorrow, ma'am," Nelson promised, breaking the silence.

"Good!" She said, "by the way, it can be about anything! Use common sense though. No inappropriate stuff or curse words!"

*ring!*

"Good luck!" She yelled.

"I'm pretty sure you say break a leg," Nelson corrected.

"No, I think that's only in theatre," Gilbert said.

"Oh...."

20 Minutes Later~

*crash!*

"Jaiden, Pamela, Big Bird has landed in the nest!" Nelson yelled, coming into the apartment.

"We don't need to know about your bathroom accomplishments, Nelson!" Pamela yelled.

"That's not what I meant!"

She didn't answer.

"What a craisin."

Nelson went to his room.

I mind as well start this book. I have nothing better to do.

"Let's see...... a title....."

Nelson was tempted to take the week to think of a title, but he really wanted to freak Jaiden out with that voice changer. He could sound literally like a cat from hell.

"I've got it!"

Nelson picked up his pencil, and wrote,

"Nelson the Cat and his Adventures."

"Hmmm....It needs something.....that title is too....bland."

Nelson looked around the room for ideas. Suddenly, he notices a stamp he used for one of his YouTube videos, "Dank or Tank". Nelson reviewed different kinds of bread, and rated it DANK, for good, or TANK, for bad! Nelson picked up the "DANK" stamp.

He erased the word "Adventures", and stamped "DANK" down onto the paper. Then he wrote "Adventures".

"Nelson the Cat and his DANK Adventures!" Nelson said aloud, "that's perfect!"

A dam just broke in his mind of ideas.

"Each chapter will be a completely different adventure. They'll be about my DANK adventures I had in the past, and sometimes maybe even my friend's adventures," Nelson decided.

Nelson then tried to decide how many stories he'll have in this book.

"16 stories. Perfect! I'm definitely going to get an A!"

Nelson was on a roll! Everything was coming together! This is actually fun. Nelson thought writing books were only fun for nerds. Maybe he'll write more books after this one!

"Now I should make the cover."

Nelson ran to Jaiden's bedside drawer, and pulled out a picture of him.

"Bam!" Nelson yelled, gluing it to the front page, "all done with the cover!"

Nelson was feeling pretty confident. He imagined famous authors shaking his paw at the red carpet, people asking if they could make his book a TV show.

"If I'm going to write a best selling book, I've gotta get my hindquarters into gear!"

Nelson turned to the first page. He picked up his pencil again, and wrote down "Story #1".

Hmmm.... what should the first story be about? Oh, yes! I've got the perfect story!

"Story #1: The Dank Meme Mattress."
