"There's nothing better then digging" Sam said, sticking his shovel into fresh dirt, eyes widen in excitement. "I bet we'll get halfway to China the way we're going."

He watched for a minute as Swinger-Girl admired her new set her swing chains and the Ashleys giggle furiously as they entered their clubhouse, a new set of magazines in hand. Over in the corner T.J. Detwieller was pouring over the latest issue of Senior Fusion as Vince tried out a new kickball.

"RING!" The bell echoed through the playground.

"Oh no, we'll have to finish tomorrow." Dave put down his shovel, displeased. He shrugged though, thinking that tomorrow was another day. Wiping off some sweat from his helmet, he followed Sam back into the school.

Tomorrow wouldn't be any different, right?

The Next Day....

The bell had rung, and everyone had scattered to Ol' Rusty. It was going to be a perfect day, as usual. As all the 4th graders stepped outside for recess, however, they found a horrible surprise waiting for them.

Swinger Girl gasped, Sam and Dave began to hyperventilate, and the Ashleys were in the corner, very anxious and in fits.

"What's going on here?" Ms. Finster asked, seeing that everyone had not yet begun causing trouble, a disappointment even to Randal. "What are you all looking at-oh for the love of detention!" Her eyes widened.

The Swinger Girl's favorite swing was gone, the shovels for the Diggers missing, the Ashley magazines torn to pieces along with a Senior Fusion comic. The kickballs were gone: even King Bob's throne! It was a nightmare but who, who on earth could do such a thing to a kid? At Recess!

They all turned around to see King Bob approach, a stern look on his face. He had been use to addressing the commoner from on top of his throne. Having to be the same height as everyone else was-difficult.

"What happened?" cried one of the Ashleys.

"Who could have done such a thing?" Sam demanded.

"Who could destroy a perfectly good Senior Fusion comic? It's a crime! Who did it King Bob?" T.J. asked, stepping forward.

King Bob sighed, thinking. No one dared to speak as the king made his decision. He adjusted his crown slightly, stepping onto a box. At least now he was taller. "I think-I know who did it." He said finally, in a rule- like manner. "And he OR she will pay dearly for this: harder then the dodge ball wall."

Everyone gasped, this was a serious matter.

King Bob pointed a finger out to the playground, towards the culprit who hid in the back, making everyone gasp.

"It couldn't be," Gretchen said, staring like everyone else to the general direction. "...could it?"
