The next Monday, Plymouth was back on the news. “We have our finalists for King & Queen”

For king, the 4 finalists were Abner, Strudel, Twister, & Banjo. For queen, it was Doreen, ChiChi, Virginia, & Pancake.

“I hope I don’t win” Strudel whispered to Strawberry. “Only if you were my queen”

“I’m totally gonna win!” Doreen bragged. (Fiona had nominated Doreen like, 50 times)

Later on, some people went with Strudel to the doctor to get his cast off. He left his crutches at home, because the doctor said to practice walking without them. Plus, he didn’t want to return them, since he was gonna need them again for something else.

They saw Midnight in the hallway, still in a wheelchair. He gave them an evil look.

Ramona was getting ready to pounce on him, but Tamyra pulled her back.

Once Strudel got his cast off, they went to the mall, (It was Strudel, Ramona, Tamyra, Strawberry, Pancake, Gepetto, & Virginia) Bats was standing by the entrance, and she gave all 7 of them a paper. It said- ‘In 3 years my son would have been eligible for the skateboard race of Nedmac Egdir; Now he won’t be, since he is confined to a wheelchair. Please help me attack this Race, as it is discriminating my son. Boycott the Shoe Mile Race!’ Bats watched them all read it.

“This is shit” said Strudel, ripping it up and throwing it on the ground. Ramona crumpled hers up and squashed it with her foot. Tamyra threw hers in the nearest garbage can. Strawberry threw hers into a water fountain. Pancake spit her gum into it and threw it out. Gepetto made his into a paper airplane and threw it into a shoe store. Virginia threw hers in an ashtray, on top of Bats’s cigarette. Bats put Gepetto in a headlock, and a security guard hauled Bats off and gave Gepetto free ice cream.

“Ooh!” Ramona squealed when she saw the reclining chairs.

She sat down in one and it said to her “Welcome. Please insert a bill”

Strudel gave her a dollar, and he sat in another one of the chairs, and Strawberry sat in the one next to him. Tamyra, Virginia, Pancake, & Gepetto all sat down, too. But everyone made Strudel pay for them. Strudel lay sideways in his chair, with his head on Tamyra’s lap and his feet on Strawberry’s lap.

“Massage my leg” he told Strawberry, as she giggled and agreed. Doreen & Fiona walked out of Abercrombie looking at them strangely.
