(From "Splitting Images":

Danny: (trying to prove he's not Poindexter) In second grade, Tucker threw up in your lunchbox, but he told you Ricky Marsh did it.

Sam: What! I kicked him off the monkey bars for that!)

"You ok, Tucker?" Danny asked on the playground before school started.

"No. My tummy feels weird."

"Go to the nurse."

"I'm too scared."

"I'll go with you."

Easier said than done. Tucker was so afraid of going to the nurse that day that it quickly became one of those school legends that kids speak of to this day.

"You're just nervous, Tucker. You'll do fine on the math test." The nurse said.

"See, Tucker? You'll be fine." Said Danny "Hi, Sam." He said, blushing as a girl in huge galoshes came walking up to them.

"Hi, Danny." The girl replied, also blushing.

"Danny and Sammy, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Sammy with a baby carriage. That's not all, that's not all, Danny's drinking al-co-hol." Said Paullina, a girl in a pink tee and pig tails.

"WE'RE NOT IN LOVE!" Danny and Sam replied.

"Hey Fen-tiny! You like Sam, don't you?" said Dash Baxter, the biggest bully in the school.

"NO! What I mean is…uh… I, uh…"

"You think she gooorgeous, you want to huuug her, you want to kiiiss her."

"NO I DON'T! Er, well, I… what I meant to say is, uh…"

"It's ok, Danny. Hey, Ricky" Sam said.

"Hey, Sam." Ricky Marsh was the guy everyone said was the guy Sam was most likely to go out with, but Sam knew that his teasing wasn't a sign that he liked her.

"How you feeling?"

"My mom told me I may be coming down with the flu."

"Eew, gross. Wanna sit with Sam, Tucker and me at lunch today?"

"Ok."

"Ew, baloney! Danny, can I borrow a couple dollars for lunch? My mom packed meat in my lunch."

"Sure." He handed her a couple singles.

"Thanks." She said, running off to the lunch counter.

"No problemo, dudette."

"I'll be right back. Will you tell Sam I had to go to the bathroom?" Ricky said at lunch that day."

"Sure. You ok, Tucker?"

"No, and it's not because the math test is next." He said as he grabbed Sam's lunchbox and lost his lunch, pun intended.

"Hey, guys, I'm ba- OH, GROSS! WHO DID THAT TO MY LUNCHBOX?"

"It was, uh, uh, uh, RICKY MARSH!" Tucker said as he blurted out the first name that came to mind.

"Oh he did, did he?" she said with a murderous glint in her eye. "I'll be back after recess."

At recess, Ricky was playing on the monkey bars, when all of a sudden he heard someone calling his name.

"Oh, Ricky?"

"Yes?" he said as he turned around, seeing Sam in midair, arms in the air like two wings, draw one knee up to her waist, and sending heel right into his face.
