Chapter Two

Bloo immediately jumped up on his stumpy legs and exclaimed "Mr. Herriman, is Duchess really leaving?"

"Well, Master Blooregard, I don't know really, but if she does, Madame Foster, Miss Francis, and everyone within this house, will probably feel much better and I can only hope that she leaves for good and soon! I have had enough of her prattling on for hours on end" said Herriman. With that, he hopped off.

"Mac, are you thinking what I'm-" started Bloo.

"No, Bloo, I will not help you make a fraud out of Duchess and get her out of the house" snapped Mac. "Look, I feel the same way. Duchess is a snooty royal pain, but we can't get her to leave. Herriman would have a fit!"

"Oh, well, then" said Bloo, with a dewy smile across his face. "I suppose we'll just have to let your mom know about that time that you had the sugar"

"Oh, no, you don't!" said Mac hastily "That was YOUR fault, not mine!"

"But you ate the candy that I had-"

"No." said Mac uneasily.

"And the chocolate"

"No!" said Mac in a panicked tone.

"And you went streaking, and you bit off Gummy's ear, stole Giant Baby's candy, stole Handy's candy, tee-hee, I rhymed, ate the fizzy rocks and soda, and a huge number of things that I can't recall, but am sure they are very bad!" summed Bloo.

"NOOOO!" said Mac, in a fright. "Ok, ok! I'll help you!"

"I KNEW you'd wise up!"

But what will Mac and Bloo do? Tune in next time to find out.
