Spicks and Specks: Sam's Back!

Chapter 5

"Well, Murray... if there has to be only two of us left... I'm glad it's me and you" Sam said.

"Thank you, darling; that means a lot" I said.

"So what should I do?" Sam said.

"Sam! I have more to offer my team than just an adventurous girlfriend" I said.

"Huh?" Sam said.

"I mean, being on Spicks and Specks has changed me. I don't need Peter Pan's sister to fight my battles for me anymore" I said.

"Well... now that I think about it, you did stand up to that bully Arlene. That took guts" Sam said.

"I know. Especially since my nose was touching hers" I said.

Sam nodded her head.

"Okay, Murray. What we're gonna do now is up to you." she said.

I kissed her to say "thank you".

"So what do we do? I'm almost out of ammo" Sam said.

I tried making another shot but I couldn't.

"And the only thing you can shoot with an archery arrow is a sleeping snail" Sam said.

"Wait. I have an idea" I said.

"Does it involve the Battle of Waterloo?" Sam said.

"No. But it does involve tricking Arlene" I said.

"Ooh! I dunno where you're going with this, but I like the idea of tricking Arlene" Sam said.

I told her my plan. 

"Well?" I said when I was done.

"Not bad. It might work" Sam said.
