Disclaimer: I do not own Geronimo Stilton.
Benjamin sighed.
All he could do now was read Geronimo's Guide to Ratzikistan, which he had taken during their capture.
He looked into the book.
It read:
During a Mousikistanite capture, the capture team is divided into two groups:
Soldiers, who must catch the all the adults and some children.
And Handlers, who must get the remaining children.
Benjamin sighed.
This day wasn't going to well.
A Ratzikistanite girl came along.
She slid a food tray into the cell.
Benjamin couldn't understand why children were doing things for them.
He flipped a page in the Guide to Ratzikistan.
It read:
If a Ratzikistanite child wanted to become a something such as a soldier or a teacher they use a Mousikistanite child to test themselves to see if their good enough to be given their dream job.
That makes sense, Benjamin thought as he ate a cheesy chew.
Then a gang of Ratzikistanite boys came.
Benjamin recognized them instantly.
They were the bullies who had harassed the Mousikistanite children on their way to Ratzolia.
Benjamin frowned.
Something told him they were not here to apologize.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" The boss bully said mockingly.
"You know, I've had a pretty rough day and so I'm really not in the mood for this," Peter said.
"So?" The boss bully said.
"So I want you to leave mister…"
"My name is Jonathon Harvester," He said. "And I can bother you if I want."
"You know what, Harvester?" Benjamin said. "You're a coward. You know we can't defend ourselves if we're in this cell, so you're nothing but a lousy coward."
"You shouldn't talk like that to the Emperor's son," Jonathon said.
"Yah, right!" Benjamin snapped. "That gives me more of a reason to talk to you like that."
"That's it!" Jonathon said. "At 5: 30 there's gonna be a dodge ball match! You're coming! And I'm gonna laugh when my team strikes you down in a hail of dodge balls."
He left.
"Thanks for sticking up for me," Peter said.
"Don't mention it," Benjamin said. "But know we got a dodge ball match in sixty minutes."
"This day just keeps getting better and better," Peter said sarcastically.
