        A/N: Hi, guys! The picture above is what Monica looks like. She has the same red hair as her mom and the same eye color as Jim. What do you think? If your wondering where I did this, I created this picture of Monica on www.avatarmaker.com

        The Quagawumps served us some food and I watched in disgust as Blinky ate the swamp maggots with delight. Then, I noticed that Claire was looking in Jim's direction, who was sitting right next to me. Jim's eyes widened with fear because he was also looking at, which caused him to freak out and take a bite out of the head of a swamp maggot. As soon as he realized what he had done, he looked like he was about to throw up, then he fainted.

        I started laughing and I noticed that Toby was being fed all the meat. Lucky. Shouldn't he be asking about the Kill stone? Looks like I wasn't the only one thinking about that because Blinky came up to Toby, but it didn't look like Toby wanted to ask them. Then, one of the Quagawumps grabbed Blinky and said, "This servant bother you? You want me to kill him?"        

        "No, no, no, he's fine. For now." Toby said. Really Toby? Then, I focused back on Jim, who was now awake, and helped him over to a boulder to sit on. My attention shifted back to Toby again when another Quagawump proclaimed, "Now is the time of telling. Why returned have you?" Was he going to finally tell them about the Kill stone?

        "Uh, yeah. I have returned for one great purpose---ahem--- to tell you of my grand adventures in a far-off mystic land called Arcadia!" Toby exclaimed. The Quagawumps gasped and were very eager to hear what he had to say. Toby continued, "Yeah! Yeah! There, I battled the diabolical Coach Lawrence and his Unclimbable Ropes." Toby went on forever and I only paid attention when he finished another one of his stories of 'epic bravery', "And that day, I was going commando or should I say, command-do." The Quagawumps kept calling for more stories, but Jim walked up to him. I really hope that he was telling Toby to hurry it up.

        While they were talking, music started playing and one of the Quagawumps declared, "My king? After journey, what is song you bring?" Toby looked at Jim and I could tell that he was asking Jim for a song suggestion. I stood up getting ready to fight if it was necessary. Then, Toby started clapping his cheeks, stomach, then butt, and said, "Boom. Boom. Shake the room. Say what?" The Quagawumps looked at him confused, then Toby yelled again, "I said, 'Say what?'" There was murmuring, then they started repeating what Toby said. It turned out to be a fun dance and song, if you would call it that, that is. Even Aaarrrgghh got into the song and joined the Quagawumps in their dance.

        Out of the corner of my, I noticed Claire walk up to Jim and reach her hand out towards him, "Come on! It's catchy."

        "Sure, sure! In a minute. I'm just digesting." Jim said. Ugh. Seriously? You missed your chance again!

        "Everyone right!" Aaarrrgghh exclaimed. I snorted while Jim wondered what he was talking about. Aaarrrgghh continued, "Wuss! Wuss!"

        "He's correct, Master Jim. Wussing out." Blinky said. I laughed and said, "Come on, Claire. I'll dance with you." She smiled and we both started dancing while Jim was talking to Blinky. Aaarrrgghh soon joined Claire and I told Jim that he couldn't go wrong. Wrong about what? I'm not sure. I soon got my answer when Jim made his way over to Claire and I. I took that as my sign to leave and I now realized why Jim was afraid to ask Claire out to the Spring Fling. He could not dance.

        Then, to my horror, Claire asked Jim out to the Spring Fling. Dang it! I owe Eli Pepperjack $10. You let me down, Jim!

        I slumped in my seat and glared at the two lovebirds and I noticed Jim nervously glance in my direction. He knew why I was upset. He turned back to Claire and he accepted. At least, Claire and Jim will go with each other to the Spring Fling. I noticed they were about to kiss, but the music stopped and I heard footsteps and a giant Quagawump came forward.
