Heyy :)
I thought i'd try and write an actual story rather than lots of one-shots for a change, so here it is!
Please Review!

'This 'world war evacuee' look really does not suit me.' muttered Dan grumpily. Aneisha and Zoe chuckled at the expression on his face then turned to Tom, who was playing on his DS.
"Tom," said Aneisha after a pause. "I'm not sure war evacuees played on DSs' she pointed out. Tom shrugged and carried on playing. Dan leant forward. 'I think in the jumble of information that is Tom's brain, Nintendos have existed forever' he pointed out with a grin.
The four laughed, when Mr McNab walked up to them. 'Morgan!' he shouted, pointing an offending finger at Dan, 'Sort your hair out! I'm not sure war evacuees had Justin Bieber hair, hmm?' Dan sighed wearily and began to mess with his hair, succeeding in making it even worse than before. He gave a frustrated sigh and shook his hair back to his original position.
'Stupid hair' he muttered and Zoe chuckled before handing him a hat that looked like it had survived world war 2 itself. He looked at it skeptically, than noticed Mr McNab turning the corner nearby. 'Morgan!' the strict deputy shouted down the corridor.
Dan jumped in fright and quickly shoved the hat on his head. He glared at the others who were suppressing grins.'No laughing.' he warned, pointing an offending finger at them. Aneisha grinned. 'Wouldn't dream of it.'
'Well class,' Mr Flatley stood at the front of the class. 'As i'm sure you all know, today is Dress up as a war child day,' he said cheerily, 'so to celebrate, we have four helpers from the National Historic Reconstruction Society to give you a glimpse into life as a war child!' he said enthusiastically. 'Off you go!' he prompted.
The group was alright, however, thought Dan, they weren't sure what they were doing, and their performances kept getting lost, he thought. Just like Zoe's hat. By some strange turn of events, it had somehow ended at the top of the very tallest tree at Saint Hearts. He felt someone poke him from behind and turned to see Zoe staring at him accusingly.
'What?' he asked, knowing full well what she would say. 'What has happened to your hat Daniel? She said sternly. Dan gulped. 'Errr...by some mystery it has managed to end up on top of a tree...'he trailed off and looked up at Zoe who now, to his confusion, was smiling.
'Oh, that's okay!' she smiled, then stood up as she heard the bell ring. 'I'll get it back at break!' she explained to him. He nodded, but he couldn't help thinking this was all going to end badly. He followed her out onto the field and watched as she found the tree, not noticing the actors that seemed to be following her.
She handed him her pencil 'in case it breaks', and went to the tree, squeezing through the crowd of actors. In a flash she was up the trunk, and clambering up the enormous branches that sprouted from the tree. She had just reached the top when Frank called him.
'Dan, get Zoe here now!' he ordered urgently. 'Stella's team found information linking to the National Historical Reconstruction society in a KORPS base they recently captured. Intel suggests those actors are not all they seem. Where are they?' he asked. Dan searched for the group to find them grouped together underneath the tree Zoe was climbing.
'Zoe!' he called urgently, then pointed at the men at the base of the tree and made an evil face. She looked at him in confusion, then understanding dawned on her, quickly followed by fear.
'They can't get up!' he reassured her. Zoe sighed. 'And I can't get down!' she reminded him. Dan thought for a few moments before mouthing something to her. She gave him a nod, and began to scramble down the tree. The KORPS agents were now getting excited. It seemed as if their precious bounty would come willingly. Dan watched in horror as the leader chuckled and pulled out a gun.
'Shoot her, but be careful not to kill her.' he ordered. 'She wanted her alive.' The men nodded and pulled out guns from their holsters, before aiming for her. Dan saw the fear creep in on Zoe's face, and knew he needed to do something.
He crept up behind the agents, and punched one in his face, before moving onto the others. 'Leave. Her. Alone.' he said between punches. Immediately, the rest of the agents turned to Dan and began to fight him. Whilst fighting, Dan spotted Zoe jump down from the tree quietly and run over to where Frank, Aneisha and Tom were standing.
The KORPS agents suddenly realised their bounty was out of sight and began to chase after her.
Zoe ran. Faster than she'd ever run before. Out the school gates and into the unknown.
Dan began to run after her, but Frank stopped him. 'Dan! It's way too dangerous! We'll go after her when we're ready.' Dan shook his head 'But I-' Frank interrupted. 'No Dan. Let her go.'
Dan watched as she ran into the distance. He would find her. No matter what the cost...
What did you think?
