Chapter 8, dun dun dun DUNNN! Hey, wasn't that the title of the last chapter? Oh well!

"Trouble!"

Trouble laughed. "I've got a mask underneath this one."

Foaly now reawaked without the intruders noticing, glared up at him from the ground. He slowly picked up the frying pan lying next to him. He stood up on all fours and crept up behind the intruder.

"Stay away from her Root!"

There was a pause. Then the intruder (A/N: Woohoo! Last time having to say that!) Whipped off his second mask.

"It is you Root!"shrieked Holly.

Root looked away, and turned around, his knife in his hand.

"Yes it is me, and nobody else needs to know that, now do they?"

Foaly hit him over the head with the frying pan. Root was immediately unconscious. Holly ran over to Foaly.

"Lets get out of here!"

Foaly stood still, then stiffened up and flopped over onto his side.

Root stood up.

"Tranquilizer dart, works every time. You guys fell for the oldest trick in the book. I even scratched my nose while you were running!"

Holly collapsed and starting shaking. "You're going to kill him, I know you're trying to. I won't let you. You sick, very sick."

Root laughed. "Yes, I guess I am, aren't I?"

Holly stood up, and edged towards Root. "Fine, leave Foaly alone and I'll do whatever you're wanting me to do."

Root smiled and rubbed his hand mischievously. "I like this plan."

"So what is it you want?"

Root laughed. "I want you to go with me to this party/ball thing. There is a huge prize for the man with the prettiest lady."

Holly backed away. "No way."

Root took out his knife and bent down towards Foaly's tranquilized body. He beckoned her towards him. Holly approached slowly.

"I'll kill him then,"hissed Root.

Holly trembled as she watched Root's knife against Foaly's throat.

"Don't kill him!"she cried out.

Root grinned. "So you'll go?"

Holly stopped for a second. "Only if you promise not to hurt anybody."

"Ok then, I won't hurt Foaly, just mind-wipe him."

Holly trembled and nodded.

"I'm sorry Foaly,"she whispered.

Sorry I had to leave there. I was in a hurry. I hope you're all pleased. HAHA! YOU WERE ALL WRONG wrong wrong wrong WRONG. I thought it would be really obvious, you know, the fact that Root's gone and everything. Hehe, next chapter up soon I hope! Please review!

Yours until Evil Dr. Peacock gives back Toucan Sam's colour back!
