Note On the text: I'm sorry for my long absence… I've been writing a Star wars story, so if any of you are Holes fans and star wars geeks like me, you may want to check it out. You can go through my profile, or under the star wars movie section it's called Spaghetti. That having been said, I want to finish this as quickly as possible in order to put up my story on Magnet's past, so hopefully I will be adding more chapters more often.

Chapter: insert random number here.

Zigzag stuck his head out of a bush next to Huston High's entrance. He glanced around and pulled a walkie-talkie up to his mouth. "Batman to Twinkle Toes, come in Twinkle Toes, Over."

A voice crackled back over the hand held device. "Since when did we deiced on a name for me, Zigzag?"

"I just thought it up and thought it fit you." Cursing flowed from the other end. "Twinkle Toes, are the enemy agents in place? Over."

"Yeah, over. Tony's right inside, I can't see Greg or Josh though."

"Bus just pulled up, Carrot Top's getting out."

"Who?"

"Stanly, you know, Carrot Top."

"Zigzag, I'll never understand you."

"He's got the suitcases over."

"You mean brief cases."

"Yeah both of um over."

True to Zigzag's words, Stanly was making his out of the school bus while trying to hold two briefcases. The task was proving difficult, as he dropped at least one every step. As X-Ray had predicted, Tony Railenger made his way to Stanly.

"Changing of the guards over."

"Ready for it."

"Hey Yelnats," Tony called "you look like you could use some help."

Acting fairly well, Stanly held out one of the briefcases. " Thanks Tony, take this one but be careful with it."

The bully excepted the over stuffed carrying case with a surprised grunt. "Man, these things are heavy, whatchya got in here, Yelnats?"

Stanly shrugged. "Over half grand, in twenties." He replied simply.

"You mean you brought that kinda' money to school, Yelnats?"

"Sure."

"What for?!"

"To impress girls with, they can't stand it when you start throwing money around."

Tony and Stanly walked into the school's double doors.

"Approaching your position, Twinkle Toes."

"Roger and copy, Batdork!" Squid peered around the wastebasket he'd taken refuge behind. Caveman and the bully were coming. "Mother load just made visual contact with me, over."

"Roger, Twinkle Toes."

Caveman walked to his locker and flung it open, deposited the briefcase he was carrying, and slammed the door. He turned to Tony. "Tanks for carrying my stuff, I think I can take it from here now."

"You gonna lock up this too?" The brown haired bully asked.

Stanly shook his head, "no, I think I should be able to impress a couple of Chicks before class starts." At the press of a button legs extended from the bottom of the briefcase and its lid popped off with a snap. Stack upon stack of twenty dollar bills were visible.

"Holy Toledo!" Squid called into his hand walkie-talkie, "Caveman brought real loot!"

"You owe me a dollar, Twinkle Toes." Zigzag said, "We made a bet."

"Yeah, you're the one who owes me!"

Ricky rolled his eyes. "No, you owe me money. We made a bet I said he'd bring real money. Pay up."

"No I didn't I-" his voice trailed off as he noticed a girl making her way over to Stanly.

"Why Stanly," Stephanie Black called, "is all this money yours?"

Caveman nodded. "Yep every bit of it, didn't I tell you all I went treasure hunting last year?"

"Well you never told us you struck it rich." She replied fluttering her eyelashes at Stanly.

Squid fumed angrily, "why that no got turncoat Carrot Top, over."

"What's he doing over."

"He's talkin' to my girl that's what he's doin'."

Stanly kept talking, "Oh yes I have more than this at home, a whole safe room full." A crowd of schoolers gathered around him, all pushing to get a view of the money.

A slender, light brown haired, girl pushed her way to the front of the herd. "Stanly Ylnats, you are just the man I've been looking for."

"How can I help you Susan?" Stanly asked loving every moment of this.

"Well," Susan said, "you know they went up on the price of school lunches, right? Well, I had forgot today and I was wondering-"

"If you could barrow some? Here," Stanly took a twenty from one of the bundles and handed it to her. Susan took it and started to leave, "do something nice with the change." Stanly shouted after her.

Smiling she turned around and kissed him.

A senseless smile floated onto Caveman's face. "Want another twenty?" He asked stupidly.

"Grease Monkey's making his approach." Squid muttered into his walkie-talkie.

"Who?" Zigzag asked confused.

"Magnet's coming."

"Twinkle Toes, you're no good at nicknames, over."

Magnet came up to Stanly from the side and taped his shoulder.

"Oh hey Magnet, need a twenty?"

"No," the Mexican youth replied slowly, "I just thought I'd advice you to put that stuff away Caveman. I'd put a lock on it if I were you."

"Why?" Stanly asked, "we're all friends here, aren't we Magnet?"

Jose twitched his shoulder at Tony Railenger, Stanly pretended not to notice.

"So," Caveman continued, "who else needs a twenty?"
