"No Zoe, it's not Black Star Bad, but you and Max will have to have a green star each, so be careful in future", Mr Keogh told them.
Zoe was still uneasy because three green stars meant one black star and one black star meant the dungeon and rats, but she wasn't quite so scared.
Unfortunately, Ethan had a nightmare about being in the Rat Dungeon that night. He got smacked by his Mum, instead of being cuddled, so the next day he decided to be very brave and ask Mrs Beachamp where Mr Keogh kept the dungeon…
"Dylan! First you tell the kids that you're allowed to smack bums, then you tell them lies about having a dungeon full of rats. You can't terrorise them like that."
"It's the only way to keep those buggers in their place", Mr Keogh replied doggedly.
"Well from now on you tell them the truth", Mrs Beauchamp replied.
All the sunshine went out of Mr Keogh's life in roughly five minutes.
The day continued fairly well until afternoon playtime. The Gang went running down to the hut because Max had composed a Gang Song and he and Zoe, in their official Zax capacity, were going to teach it to everybody.
Cal was lurking to see what damage he could do, which was a shame because…
Lofty, Ethan and Robyn came scattering out of the hut, looking shocked.
"We can't play in there. Miss Freeman's not very well, she's lying down and Mrs Beauchamp's giving her the kiss of life!"
Cal smirked. He knew the truth now. Mrs Beauchamp wasn't stuffing doughnuts on the sly. Miss Freeman and Mrs Beauchamp were… LEBSIONS!
