Unfortunately Ben wasn’t fast enough hiding from Arabella and her five zillion and three photos of the dolls’ museum even though he hid on the top shelf of the airing cupboard.

Anyway he soon recovered when I told him we were going to spend the whole of the next day in my garden right away from his annoying sister.

However, I’d forgotten that my annoying sister would be around.  When we got outside, ready for a game of superspies, Jessica had taken over the whole lawn with a yucky teddy bears’ picnic and told us to go away and play indoors. 

We were about to spray her with water from the hose when Mum saw us and made us sweep the patio – and she said she was going to keep an eye on us.

We were just thinking that this wasn’t going to be a fun day after all when a pair of stony ears popped up from a pot plant.  It was Zack, and Neb was with him.  We pretended to be polishing the pot and bent down to tell them all about Jesscia taking over the garden.  Zack and Neb grinned at each other so we knew they were going to do something cool.  Zack disappeared and Neb blended with the patio stones.

When Jessica went inside to get more juice, her teddy bears began moving about.  She couldn’t believe her eyes when she came back to see Grumblytum on his head, Sleepytime Ted up a tree and Mr Fuzzyfur with his head through a hole in the fence and the others were all in a heap on the shed roof.  And half the picnic had been eaten.  She let out an ear-splitting scream and told Mum that we’d done it!  Of course Mum knew it wasn’t us as she’d been watching us making a beautiful job of the patio.  Jessica was so cross she started taking her bears inside.  We helped which made her even crosser and then we had a great game of superspies.   It’s extra good when you’ve got two vanishing gargoylz!

Bart has read a teddy bear joke in a book.

Q. What do you get if you cross a skunk with a teddy bear?
A. Winnie the Pooh!

Oh dear he’s just made one up one of his own.

Q. What do you get if you cross a bottom burping gargoyle with a teddy bear?

A. Barney the Pooh!

I’ve thought of another trick I can play on Jessica.  Going off to get tin foil and a plunger!

This has been a great Easter holidays. We’ve done loads of tricks this week.  The best one was the prank we played on the Basher.

On Wednesday we went to see the gargoylz at the church. But just as we started a fantastic game of ‘had’ in the churchyard, the Basher loomed over his garden wall. He was the last person we wanted to see – the gargoylz only just hid in time. He said we had to tell him what we were doing and he climbed over the wall. 

Then I saw Azzan waving at me from behind a grave. Theo was with him and it gave me an idea. I nudged Ben to let him know we had a secret plan and then told Barry that we’d found a fire breathing cat. He scoffed of course and said he’d thump us for wasting his time.

I winked at Theo and he turned into a kitten and gave a sweet miaow. Azzan stayed hidden but just as the Basher bent down to peer at Theo, Azzan blasted a flame over Theo’s head.  Barry was so frightened he vaulted his wall and was inside his house shouting for his mum before you could say ‘dragon!’

 Of course Theo was convinced it was because he’d turned into a fierce tiger but it didn’t matter. The Basher didn’t disturb us again.

Back to school on Monday (boo!) but we’re going to play an awesome trick on super annoying Lucinda Tellingly (Yay!) We haven’t forgotten she was going to tell on us about the rainforest.

Hi! Agent Black here on the classroom computer.

(Superspy secret note: must not let anyone in class see this blog!)

Our cake for Lucinda was the best surprise fairy cake in the history of best surprise fairy cakes. It was all pink and girly with pretty little icing shapes we found in the cupboard. (Bleurgh!)

 Lucinda didn’t like it! I don’t know why. We got Zack to pop invisible and sneak it onto her desk before school on Monday. Then we made sure we didn’t go into the classroom until Lucinda was already inside so that we couldn’t be accused of anything. Poppy and Tiffany and the others crowded round the cake, going ooh and ahh. We went ooh and ahh too, so it didn’t look suspicious.

Lucinda said she’d love to share it but it was too small so she’d have to eat it all herself. Then she took a big bite.

She didn’t know we’d put a plastic beetle on a spring inside it. As soon as she got her teeth into the cake the beetle popped up and her face got splattered with pink sloppy icing!

We made sure we kept our faces straight. Ben even got a cloth and wiped the icing off her dress. It wasn’t his fault the icing got spread around even further – it was Lucinda’s because she was screeching and flapping her arms about.

We could see Zack, Barney, Bart and Azzan at the window rolling about laughing. They soon ducked when Miss Bleet flung it open to release the toy beetle into the wild. After that, the beetle kept turning up in funny places – thanks to the gargoylz.

In fact I’ve just noticed that it’s now lurking on Miss Bleet’s desk . . .

Uh-oh. She’s coming! Must sign off fast.

Ben Neal, top trickster, signing in . . .

Max and I rushed off to the church really early last Saturday morning to see what prank Toby was going to play on the choir. Toby was waiting for us in the porch and Cyrus was with him. They wouldn’t tell us what the trick was going to be. It was a surprise.

We all crept into the church and hid behind the font. The choir were sitting in rows, warbling some soppy song about love (yuck!) for a wedding (double yuck!). Cyrus crept up behind them and started singing along – and you all know what happens when Cyrus uses his special power! Max and I stuffed our fingers in our ears, but the whole choir slowly fell asleep and slid off their seats! 

Then Toby and Cyrus started running round putting animal masks on everyone.  They said they’d borrowed them from the dressing up box at school.  When the choir woke up there was a terrible panic. One of the elephants started a stampede for the door, followed by three zebras and a newt.

Toby said it was better than watching TV.

Signing off now. Max has just arrived. We’ve decided to make a surprise cake for Lucinda Tellingly Supersneak. It’s going to have something very special in it. (Well, she shouldn’t have said our model of a T-rex looked more like a pigeon with measles.)

More next week . . . Hee hee hee!

Hello, Agent Black reporting!

Remember Ben and Azzan’s photo trick?  It should have been awesome.  All the pictures went up in the hall before school. Soon there was a deafening shriek. We put our earplugs in and rushed into the hall on our superspy propelling machines – codename feet. Arabella was yelling her head off because everyone was laughing at her picture. That is until they came across this really gruesome child holding a watering can over his head.  It was voted most ugly.  And then it turned out that Arabella had brought it in and it was Ben!  We had to hide in the boys’ toilets until the mocking stopped.  Barry the Basher Price was the worst.  He’s been on about it all week.  Until today.

Today I took my telescope (best Christmas present in the history of best Christmas presents) into school. Ben and I hid behind the bins with Toby and Zack and poked it over the top. We took it in turns to spy on Lucinda Tellingly picking her nose. But then the Basher snatched it and ran off! He was about to use it as a cricket bat when Zack popped invisible and snatched it back. It was great seeing the look on the Basher’s face when the telescope danced off in mid-air. He didn’t eat any of his chips at lunchtime. He just sat there muttering about the Telescope of Terror.

We’re going to play with the gargoylz all day tomorrow. The choir will be practising for a wedding in the church and Toby says he’s got a spectacular trick to play on them.

We’ll tell you all about it next time . . .

Hi! Ben Neal soaptastic superspy here.

Remember Miss Bleet’s lunchbox and us swapping the grated cheese for grated soap? Well, Miss Bleet foamed at the mouth all afternoon. Mrs Hogbum thought she had some dreadful disease and sent her home before we all got it. Trouble is, the trick didn’t work quite as well as it should have done because Mrs H. took us for the rest of the day and said ‘outrageous’ two hundred and fifty-seven times.

Azzan is helping me go through some old pictures of me as a baby. (It’s very kind of him but he’s singed half of them!) We’ve got to take one of our baby photos into school next week for everyone to guess who’s who.  Azzan has just found a gruesome picture of my sister Arabella when she was one. She was so ugly!  Of course she’s even uglier now.

 Anyway we’ve thought of a cool trick.  I’m going to take the picture of Arabella in.  No one will guess it’s me because it isn’t!  And if Miss Bleet complains, I’ll just give her my innocent wide eyed smile.  It worked on Mrs Simmer today at lunch – she gave me extra jam on my rice pudding. 

Can’t wait to see Arabella’s face when she catches sight of the photo in the school hall.  Must remember to take earplugs to school on Monday so I can put them in when she starts shrieking. I’m off to phone Max and tell him all about it.

We’ll report back to you all next week . . .
