David was not sure whether to tell Charlotte the whole story but a severe look from Charlotte made him give in. Charlotte's reaction was again unexpected as she normally said "oh!you are quite a spy yourself" David said surprised but made a poker face to say "don't you wonder how grandpa Steve or Peter came to know about zogger-bite" Charlotte said "Peter told me that uncle Steve had a daughter who" David impatiently interrupted saying "was a spy. I know the story; I uhh! I heard that Peter had found the zogger-bite."
Charlotte gave an unbelievable smile but with a serious David she realized it was true. Without losing a minute she went up and out of the burrow with David unsuccessfully trying to follow her then she abruptly stopped after reaching Peter's room causing David to run into her
and she said "uhh! David"
and then
"look! It must be somewhere in this goopy bag of his."
"Goopey" came David " is that even a word"
Charlotte gave the most common-sense look while saying "as if I care." And started fishing out of Peter's truly stinky and goopy bag but nothing came out except biscuits of all kind and socks of all colours along with lemons...alot of lemons.
Although David preferred to simply ask Peter about the whole matter but his weird collection of things left him flabbergasted.
By then Peter woke up to find his precious possessions on the floor with David standing silently. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Peter would have killed them if he had a rifle but the shock of his lemons on the floor was devastating for him and tears filled in his eyes as his anger rose and rose and rose infact it didn't cool for three days but for that moment his flaming eyes were set on Charlotte who smiled in the most innocent way blinking her big eyes which were of no use and Peter stood up pteparing to shout however only a "youuu...are such a MONster" came out.
Charlotte quickly said "I'd prefer a beast you you know my favourite movie... more like my favourite Disney princess bel-"
Upon hearing an unregretful Charlotte (finally)a shout came out along with a shut up call from Peter who started throwing things which Charlotte easily dodged because of her training and also not-very-good-aims of Peter. David finally came between them only to accidentally get hit by a lemon curtesy to an angry Peter. It was not until some valuable time passed that finally all of them got tired and started panting.
It was then when a sensible conversation started.
The trio sat panting on Peter's bed as he said "what is wrong with you...two. How dare you touched my bag which is marvelously -"
" goopy"
came the panting voice of Charlotte Peter gave the most discusted look possible while David said "we... wanted to find the device"
"What device?" Came Peter getting some hold of the turn of conversation when abruptly Charlotte said "zogger-bite."Silence
It was a word with a mysterious history and it seemed like some mysterious silence was required everytime this word was pronounced.
Peter couldn't get over the fact that they both knew about it while David simply wanted to put his hands on that device and the curiosity of it was getting the better of him . Charlotte though seemed to be interested in it's properties well she had to admit she was quite a nerd!
