Chapter 6: Grim's Predicament

Poor, poor, poor Grim. Even while he was still in his sleeping bag in the hallway, Billy, Harold and Jar Jar all mistakenly took the sleeping bag as another rug and simply sat down. Grim was being crushed by the trio, and he couldn't take it anymore.

"Gee, this is indeed comfortable" said Harold.

"Yeah, mesa happy" added Jar Jar.

"Yeah, now that you think about it, I am happy!" added Billy.

"Oh please, please get off of me!" cried Grim.

"Who said that, is there a ghost?" asked Billy.

"Ghosts?" asked Jar Jar, "Whatsa ghosts?"

"Oh, just something very spooky" replied Billy.

"Hmm, seems like this rug is talking to us" said Harold.

"Oh no, it's alive!" cried Billy as he leaped on Jar Jar to which the two fell right on the floor.

"You Harold, get the heck off of me!" cried Grim as he roared at Harold's face.

"Hey, this rug must really be possessed by a ghost!" proclaimed Harold, "And it seemed like it merged with Grim!"

"No you dumb idiot!" cried Grim as he immediately got out of his sleeping bag, "I can probably take you and Billy, but Jar Jar's another story it's just driving me crazy mon!"

"Breakfast is ready!" cried Gladys from down stairs.

"Oh boy, breakfast, come on new friend!" cried Billy as he took Jar Jar downstairs.

"Wait for me son!" cried Harold as he followed Billy and Jar Jar.

"Oh dish is going to be a long week!" cried Grim as he was still in pain.

About ten minutes later everyone were sitting down except for Grim and eating breakfast. Grim came into the scene all tired, and worn out.

"How did you sleep last night Grim?" asked Billy as he scarfed down some cereal.

"Oh like you would know" replied Grim as he grumbled on his way to get some coffee, "all I need is me coffee, then I should be fine."

"Say, can mesa have some of dat?" asked Jar Jar.

Grim immediately became a bit steamed when Jar Jar presented that question to him.

"Listen to the guest" said Gladys to Grim.

"Fine" said Grim as he poured some coffee in another cup for Jar Jar, "but don't say I didn't warn you on how crazy this whatever he is, really is."

Grim immediately then sat down on his seat and gave Jar Jar another cup of coffee for him.

"Hey, I warned you" said Grim as he took a sip of his coffee, "don't try to drink it down all at once."

"Oh, mesa will try that!" cried Jar Jar.

Jar Jar immediately poured down all the coffee at once into his mouth. The taste was a bit bitter, but it left Jar Jar giving some more energy.

"Do you like some more?" asked Gladys.

"Oh, I don't think that's going to be such a good idea" replied Grim.

"Mesa know what mesa doing" said Jar Jar.

Gladys then poured Jar Jar another cup of coffee to which he then drank that down, and then she poured him another, and another until the rest of the coffee were gone for the day.

"Well that's all there is for today Jar Jar" said Gladys as she showed the Gungan the empty coffee maker.

"So new buddy, how do you feel?" asked Billy to which Jar Jar was a bit hyper.

"Mesa feel pretty good, mesa feel like going to school with mesa Billy friend" replied Jar Jar.

"Oh yeah, he gets to go to school with me!" cried Billy.

"Hurry up, or you'll miss the bus" said Gladys.

Jar Jar raced ahead of Billy and got there first to be on the bus.

"Say, where the heck are you from, weird kid?" asked the bus driver.

"Mesa from Naboo, mesa not from here" replied Jar Jar in quite a hyper mode.

"Oh, great you're one of those foreign kids, kind of tall must be in a growth spurt" said the bus driver, "hope right on in."

"Oh great it's that idiot from the field trip!" cried Mindy as she noticed Jar Jar.

"Race you to the seat!" cried Billy.

"Mesa on it!" replied Jar Jar.

Jar Jar once again, raced ahead of Billy and sat down in his seat.

"Hey Billy, I thought we were going to sit together while on the bus?" asked Irwin, "Why does this weird kid get to yo?"

"Oh, don't worry Irwin, you can still sit next to me at lunch" replied Billy.

"That's true yo" said Irwin as he then sat in the seat behind Billy and Jar Jar.

"Oh no, you're not bringing this mindless alien to school are you?" asked Mandy as she noticed Jar Jar.

"I'm going to present him in show and tell" replied Billy.

"Billy, that was a week ago" said Mandy.

"Well, er, I'm going to do it anyway then" replied Billy.

"Knock yourself out into making yourself into a laughing stock" said Mandy as she then noticed the only seat left on the bus was next to Irwin.

"Hi Mandy, are you going to sit next to me today on the bus yo?" asked Irwin.

"It's better than listening to the foolish alien in the seat ahead of us" replied Mandy as she hesitated to sit down next to Irwin.

Irwin stood frozen solid as Mandy sat down. He couldn't say anything really. When the school bus arrived at the school everyone on the bus got out except for Irwin who was still frozen in his present location.

"Well, it's not going to be a total loss this day" said Mandy as she noticed Irwin was still frozen quite happy as ever, "see you when I come back from school then."

"I remember that happening to me once" sighed the bus driver as he drove off with Irwin still sitting in his seat.

Meanwhile it was finally time for class to which case Miss Butterbean marked Irwin absent for obviously not showing up but instead saw a certain Jar Jar Binks sitting in his usual desk.

"Oh, you're the foreigner from the field trip yesterday" said Miss Butterbean.

"Mesa very happy to be next to Billy" said Jar Jar in quite a fast, hyper mode.

"Still hyper over those four cups of coffee?" asked Billy to which Jar Jar then nodded for a yes, "come on, when recess comes, I'll show you around the school!"

"Oh, mesa can't wait to meet moresa friends for mesa self!" cried Jar Jar with joy.
