The problem with identifying the culprit purely based on smell was well, most boys smelt like body oder and cheap cologne. Taylor was getting tired of this. When she came to her locker that day she found a folded paper taped to it. She grabbed it from the door and gently unfolded it. Her eyes grew wide in shock and confusion. The paper was a drawing of the very dragon they were investigating. Underneath the picture someone had written a note.

The dragon is coming for you.

The thought made Taylor shudder in disgust. Then she realized that wasn't the only thing causing her to shudder. The paper smelled just like the tarp had. How such an awful stench went unnoticed by most of her peers was unknown to her. Nevertheless, she wrinkled her nose, clutched the paper tightly in her fist and went to find her friends. The school she noted had been dragon proofed by means of a large electrical fence and barriers on the school itself. Most students said it was too much, others said it made the school look like a prison but for Taylor it made her feel safe. Especially since the dragon had come after her the day before and was apparently going to show it's ugly face again. Taylor was far from helpless but the dragon did frighten her just a wee bit. Of course, she'd never, ever admit to something like that. After all cowering in fear was the job of Shaggy Jr and Sammie who she found eating their after lunch pre-dinner snack. Which consisted of a sandwich stacked high with ham, turkey, roast beef, onions, peppers, Swiss cheese, regular cheese and of course, ice cream.

"Eww, like, what's that smell?" Shaggy Jr asked as Taylor took a seat next to him.

"Our next clue," Taylor informed her brother while handing him the note.

"Taylor this sounds like a threat,"

"I know,"

"And do you know what Mom and Dad will do if they see this?"

"Mom will burst into flames then Dad will send her to the forest so she can cool off. After Mom leaves Dad will put me on hous arrest,"

"Wouldn't it be a bad idea to send Mom to the forest if she's on fire?" Shaggy Jr questioned.

"Dad will put out the fire first,"

"But what's mom going to do in the forest?"

"Rip trees from the ground in rage,"

"How do you know this?"

"I've seen her do it,"

"Remind me not to make her angry,"

"SJ you know the three rules,"

"What rules?" Susie asked floating out of nowhere.

"There are three very important rules when it comes to our parents. One don't make Mom angry. Two don't make Dad angry and most importantly NEVER make Mom and Dad angry at the same time," Shaggy Jr explained

"Has it happened before?"

"Yes, a long time ago,"

"How? Why?"

"Well, we were five and we doodled all over Mom's favorite book. She cried and cried which made Dad angry. Thankfully though I found a spell to restore the book to the original condition"

"So, you're not going to tell your parents?"

"Nope"

"Is that a good idea?"

"I don't want them to worry,"

"Be careful,"

"We will,"

Please review and tell me what you think. Since Christmas is really close I'll be taking a break but don't worry I'll begin posting after the holidays are over starting with the the squeal to Punishment Is A Pain. In the meantime I wrote a short Christmas story titled Melissa's Holiday if you want to check that out. One more thing what should I call the squeal?
