We wanted to hear the ending to the Camo Rhino’s story. It began like this:
Misty was a Camo Rhino who seemed to have a pretty awesome life. She had a terrific best friend, a caring family and she usually got pretty good grades at school. Yup, if you just scratched the surface, Misty’s life looked almost perfect  - but, of course, it wasn’t. in fact, Misty had a problem. A big problem. A huge problem. Her problem was…

…she wasn’t very confident. She didn’t like being purple, and she was very shy at school. Usually when Misty got home,she would splatter paint; one of her favorite things to do. One afternoon, after she had finished “Misty Splatter’s,” one of the canvases she had been working on, she noticed she got paint all over her skin. When she tried to wash it, it wouldn’t come off. She was so upset and embarrassed to even go to school tomorrow. How could she been seen like that? But her parents told her the next morning she had to go. The minute she walked in, people started commenting on how cool her skin looked; she was the talk of the town! Normally, feeling shy, she’d keep to herself, but she was talking to everyone and anyone! She was beginning to feel proud of her skin. Later, when Misty got home, she looked at herself in the mirror. Suddenly, she smiled, and realized how confident she was about herself now. She wasn’t shy anymore, and now she was ready to show the world who she was. – Alex

…she could never find anything! Pencils, keys, favorite shirts, the TV remote–EVERYTHING went missing just as soon as Misty needed it. She even got lost wandering around Kinzville trying to get from her house to the Arcade. Her best friend Jane the Pink Pony always made sure to have extra pencils and notebook paper to share with her in class, and her mother and older sister watched over her whenever she went to town. Finally, Misty’s mom grew worried enough that she drove her daughter to Dr. Quack’s Clinic to see if he could help. “Hmm,” Dr. Quack said. “Misty, you don’t seem to be sick, and your grades show that your memory is decent. Let’s try one more test, shall we?” With that, Dr. Quack pulled out a funny machine and had Misty look through it to read letters off a chart that was hanging on the wall. “Well, I think that just might solve the problem, Misty! Here’s a prescription for you; head over to the KinzStyle Outlet and buy some eyeglasses!” - Jen

…Misty was afraid of the dark. Every night when she went to sleep, she was scared to turn the lights out. She would stay up all night, trying to fall asleep but it would take so long. One day, she went to a sleepover, and when it was time to go to sleep, she got scared and had to go home. On her birthday one year, her parents bought her a lot of stuff, including a nightlight. Now, when Misty gets in her bed, she turns on her nightlight and sleeps in peace and quiet. One night, Misty had a bad dream and knocked her pillow off of her bed, hitting the nighlight. The next night when Misty plugged her nightlight in, it didn’t work. Misty got scared again but only for a few seconds. She laid down and imagined her nightlight worked. She didn’t see the shooting star cross the sky. While that shooting star passed, Misty wished that her nightlight worked and she wouldn’t be scared anymore. All of a sudden, Misty’s nightlight flickered on and Misty fell fast asleep. From then on, she was never scared – Meagan

…Misty was actually not who she says she is. Misty is really a secret agent working for the Webkinz Police who was sent to a school to check out a chemical spill in Goober’s lab. She was sent there because her boss thought she was the right fit for the job because she was camo and therefore could blend in easily. Also sent with her was her best friend, who was also her sidekick. Misty was not from around there so she was lodging with relatives in the city. While investigating, they quickly identified that the chemical, although being toxic, had not injured anyone and the school was restored to its original state and Misty and her friend returned home and lived happily ever after. – Emma

…that she failed her math test in school. No one knew her little secret, not even her best friend. Here’s what happened… It was Monday morning. She had just taken her seat to begin class when she looked at the board. “Math Test – Times Tables”. She’d completely forgotten to study!! She had been having a blast at her aunt’s house. Now, as the teacher started passing out the tests, circling like a shark on it’s prey, she tried to remember. “5×6=? OH NO!! I can’t remember!!” Finally, the teacher made it to her desk and handed her the test. Misty took one look at it and knew she was doomed. The first question was, “What is 9×10?” “9×10, 9×10…” thought Misty. She couldn’t remember!! She decided to guess. The next day, the tests were graded and handed out. Misty dreaded to see her grade. She carefully looked… F! Her face fell. “How am I going to tell Mom and Dad?” A week later, she told her parents. They weren’t upset with the F, just that they wished she had told them sooner. – Stephanie
