Tuga came bounding into the room "Quackers? What's the matter" she yelled.

Quackers pointed to the window. On the window in sloppy red paint was written, 'Nicky was the first to go and you'll be next, I hope you know.'

Tuga looked at the frightened Quackers. "You should go tell a band mom" she said.

Quackers nodded her head and turned around and walked down the hallway where the band mom, who stays up all night, sat on her air mattress, monitoring the hallway.

"You need something" she asked Quackers.

"Yeah" Quackers said trembling. "Someone has been in my room! They wrote stuff on my window"

"What do you mean someone was in your room? Are you sure it wasn't your room mate playing a trick on you" the band mom asked.

"My room mate was taken away. Plus I know she wouldn't do any thing like this" Quackers said.

The band mom stood up. "Now let's see your room."

Quackers walked her down to her room. When the mom got to the door and peered in, she gasped.

The band mom ran into the room and over to the window and touched the paint. "How could you do this? You think that painting words on your window is going to get you to go home, eh? I know how you are thinking. You're thinking that you don't want to be here so you are going to get yourself in trouble so you will be sent home. Well, I'm not going to tell Mr. Tone like you want me to. I want you to wash this window right now and if you don't then you will...you will... well, I'm not so sure yet" the band mom yelled. She turned around and walked back to her post.

Quackers looked at disbelief at the window. "Alright. If no one is going to believe me, I'll get started on this window" Quackers thought aloud.

Tuga walked into the room. "I'll help if you want."

Jessie, the drum major, came into Quackers' room. "I heard you painted your window. Now you have to clean it up yourself, with no help" Jessie said looking at Tuga.

"Ok, ok. I get the point" Tuga said. "See ya tomorrow, Quackers."

Jessie followed Tuga out of the room and shut the door.

Quackers was left to clean the window by herself. She went to the closet and pulled out a towel and took it over to the sink and got it wet.

She went over to the window and pulled back the shades to wipe the window clean. She gasped and dropped the towel.

The words were gone
