Chapter 7: Thinking It Over.

(In Icetea *'s house at 7:00 PM)
Icetea *: Meeting time! We're all here?
All: Yes.
Icetea *: So now we think it over. Bangle, details about the Shadow?
Bangle: It had eyes, I can tell you that. Big red ones. And it had bird-like... wings?
Java Joe: Go on...
Bangle: And it was really big, easily twice the size of my house.
Bob: Whoa!
Bangle: As I was SAYING, it sort of slithered around without any feet, and it left a trail of purple stuff wherever it went.
Icetea *: So I suppose we should tell the rest of the town to watch out for Admiral's house, that's where it likes to hang out, right? And tell them Admiral's house is off limits.
Bangle: Easily done!
Java Joe: I can go do that now.
(Java Joe goes around town telling everybody about the shadow and finally makes it back after a quick detour to the Able Sister's at 8)
Java Joe: *whew* Done!
Bob: The meeting's over Java Joe.
Java Joe: WHAT? Without me?!?!?! I thought you'd wait! Who's responsible for this?
(All point to Icetea *, who was just TOO IMPATIENT to wait for Java Joe)
Java Joe: What? You're going down Icetea *!!!
(For the rest of the night, Java Joe chases Icetea * around town until 11 when Icetea * has the sense to go inside her house and shove her kiddie table over the doorway)
Icetea *: Nnngggh... This'll do it for the night.
Java Joe: I was really looking forward to tickling Icetea *! Oh well, time for bed...
(Icetea * pokes her head out the door)
Icetea *: Hoy Java Joe! One more important bit of information...
Java Joe: What? And hurry up or I'll tickle you!
Icetea *: We're having the next meeting tomorrow at 3 PM, okay?
Java Joe: Done! See you there!
