"So now what?" Chris asked
"Duh, we go to another library" Dan responded
"Can we get some food first? I need lunch"
Dan began to sing "It's 10 am!"
"Food doesn't follow a clock!" Chris responded in song
"I suppose you'd like a ham?"
"Oh, that would rock!"
"You're always eating… and eating… when you see a food you have to try it"
"I'm on a diet!"
"You keep eating… and eating…if you keep up you'll lose your hair!
"It's twelve-o-clock somewhere!"
"Why… you…. GAH I'M OUT OF LYRICS! Grr…. Let's just go to the diner…" Dan sulked.
They ate their 10 am lunch and prepared to go to the next library
"Hurry up, you're wasting time" Dan said
"Is there a time limit on revenge?" Chris asked
"There's an old saying, 'revenge is a dish best served immediately'"
"I don't think that's a saying…" Dan knocked over Chris' drink. "Hey!"
They headed to the library. "Can I trust you to behave this time?" Chris asked. Dan pinched him. "Ow! What was that for?"
A song began. "You talked to me like a kid, this I must forbid.
You talk to me like that once more, I'll pinch you til you fall on the floor!
I don't like being treated like that
If you continue I may beat you with a bat" Dan sang. Chris looked scared when Dan threatened to hit him with a bat.
"I will continue to pinch you
Until you beg for mercy
You will definitely not feel new
In fact you'll feel worse-y!"
"Can we just go in now?" Chris asked, interrupting Dan's song. Dan glared at Chris for a second then said "…Fine". They went into the library. Dan began to walk to the books, but Chris stopped at the desk.
"What are you doing?" Dan asked him
"I wanna ask this librarian to help us find what we're looking for" Chris responded
"Help us? For FREE?" Dan wondered
"That's what they do"
"Can I help you?" The short librarian asked, climbing stairs made of books
"I doubt it" Dan said
"Can I help you?" the librarian asked Chris
"We need information on New Mexico" Chris responded
"Right over there between the 900s and the 908s" The librarian answered
"HE'S SPEAKING IN CODE! GET HIM!" Dan sang
"IT'S THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM" Chris sang back
"IT'S STILL A CODE!" Dan sang
"IT'S NOT LIKE IT WILL OPEN ATTACK MODE!"Chris sang
"It's still a code-code code-code-code-code-code" Dan sang
"It's got a light load-load load-load-load-load
It's just the DEEEEWEEEEY DECIMAL SYSTEM!
IT'S NOT LIKE A SORE THUMB
IT WON'T STICK OUT
IT WON'T HELP OUT
AND IT WON'T HURT YOU" Chris sang back
"So he's just talking about books?" Dan sang
"He's not discussing his looks" Chris responded in song
"So we shouldn't attack him?" Dan said
"Not unless literature is a bad thin'" Chris rhymed
"Very well. Hey librarian, don't you think we've tried all the normal books?"
"We need some special information"
"How do we hurt New Mexico?"
"Hurt New Mexico? Why would you wanna do that?" The librarian asked. Dan began to sing
"You ask me why
I'd like to try
To hurt New Mexico
It wronged me
Well don't you see
It broke my window!
You want to know
Well I will show
You how this happened
I hit my head
When I got out of bed
And I was saddened
I then slipped on a burrito
And stubbed my big toe
Then tripped on an armadillo
I faceplanted on the street
And when I got back on my feet
I noticed my broken window
I noticed red dirt, and cactus needl-ees
And a block of adobe
Then there it was, plain to see
A postcard from New Mexicee!"
"Shh! No singing in the library!" the Librarian said
"DO I NEED TO SING "NOBODY SHUSHES ME" AGAIN!" Dan yelled
