What happened: Nate was sleeping in the detention room and the detention monitor, Mrs. Czerwicki, accidentally locked him in. As I said in the last chapter: BIG NATE AND THE CHARACTERS IN THIS BOOK (EXCEPT FOR THE CAT) DOES NOT BELONG TO ME! IT BELONGS TO MR. PEIRCE.

NATE SUDDENLY WAKES UP

Nate: Huh? What happened? WHERE THE HECK AM I?!

Outside of school

Principal Nichols: I could've sworn that I heard screaming, must be a stray cat! (Stray cat suddenly appears) OH, it IS a stray cat. Hello, cat! Let's take you home, and then we can take it to Social Studies tomorrow. I'm sure Mrs. Godfery would like that! What was that, kitty? OK, I'll take ya to a nice and toasty place for the night!

Cat: MEOW! MEOW! MEOW! (I NEED FOOD!)

Principal Nichols: I have no idea what you just said, but I'll give ya some food and milk!

Cat: PURRRRRRR (YUM!)

Principal Nichols: Sigh... cats... everyone loves them... let's get home!

In the school, 8:50 at night

Nate: Finally, a light switch! WHY AM I STILL IN THE DETENTION RO- Wait a second... the detention room can access to the OFFICE, where I saw Mr. Nichols eat something SUGARY, so they must have a VENDING MACHINE, which they BANNED at school! THAT'S IT! GOTTA EAT CHEEZ DOODLES NOW! (runs to office)

3 minutes later

Nate: Where could it b- Stuffed behind the principal's closet! Of course. DANG, I don't have any mon- …... wait. IT'S FOR FREE! So, I see a few orange cheese curls, but which one is it? Well, I guess I'll go with N8, which sounds like my name... DANG! "A few orange cheese curls" as a snack name, VERY HILARIOUS (in a sarcastic tone)!

After 7 minutes of searching (PS, because of copyright stuff, I changed the name of some popular cheese brands, so don't think I don't know anything about company spelling.)

Nate: Cheeze-Ites, nope. Cheatos, nope. Mack and Cheez, nope. What's that doing in a vending machine, anyway? FINALLY, on A8! CHEEZ DOODLES! (devours the first package) GOTTA... HAVE... MORE!

Francis's call to Teddy

Teddy: Hey Francis, what's up?

Francis: This is about Nate.

Teddy: Oh no, not HIM! Can't we talk about something else?

Francis: Fine. Pete Carroll.

Teddy : NONONONONONO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!

Francis: It's either Pete Carroll or Na-

Teddy: NATE!

Francis: I feel that we've been beginning to be a little harsh on him. Don't you think?

Teddy: Definitely. After all, he IS our best friend. Why did we treat him like that anyway?

Francis: Maybe he got on our last nerve, but interrupting the class is no reason to dislike him, but he DOES need a lesson on manners.

Teddy: Well if you think about it, SHE interrupted HIM, not the other way around. And remember when Nate was at the office and you were being an office helper?

Francis: It was Gina's day to be office helper, and she told me that Nate will be in HUGE trouble and shouldn't be friends with him anyway. I think we worship her too much

Teddy: HAHAHAHAHA! WE? MORE LIKE YO-

Francis: Alright, Alright. Nate WAS right, my point is, that Gina could be such a snitch sometimes.

Teddy: What do we do?

Francis: I got homework to d-

Teddy: Aren't you done?

Francis: I'm taking an online high school course later tonight.

Teddy: Oh yeah. Continue on, Geekboy.

Francis: That was one of Nate's names to me when you came, copycat. Anyway, what I want you to do is to call the crew: Chad, DeeDee, Jenny, Artur, Breckenridge, and Maya. You got that, Teddy?

Teddy: Yep.

Francis: Well, bye. I gotta call Marty, Nate's dad, because I know Nate won't want to talk to us.

Teddy: See ya. (hangs up the phone)

At Nate's house

*RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNG

*RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNG

*RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-*

Ellen (Nate's sister): DADDY, PHONE!

Marty (talking to Francis) : Hello, Francis? It was relaxing. I wish every night would be like this. What? No. Where is he? WHAT? HE MIGHT BE STUCK IN SCHOOL! He'll like it! He'll have more time to learn! The school has A/C! He can't suffocate! Cheez Doodles? WHAT?! Wait, that's impossible. Isn't it hidden behind the principal's closet? He'll have no chance at finding it. OF COURSE NOT! He's been too noisy. I want to enjoy my first relaxing night I'll ever get! He deserves to stay in school! I'd feel horrible. NAH. Bye!

Ellen: What was THAT all about?

Marty: Nate's stuck in school and I want to have my first peaceful night. Good night Ellen!

At the principal's house

Principal Nichols: THIS is where you'll stay for the night. (shows the cat the guest room with a comfortable kitty bed with the best cat food and milk there is!)

Cat: MEEOOOW! (THANK YOU! THIS IS PARADISE!)

Principal Nichols: Well, have a good night's sleep!

Cat: Meow MEOW! (You're the best person in the WORLD!)

In school, 3:00 in the morning

Nate: DANG IT, all the Cheez Doodles ran out! Well, I'm tired. I'll sleep in the Principal's naptime bed. WOW. SURE IS COMFY! Well, good night, Cheez Doodles.

Nate's dream: Nate is sleeping in Cheez Doodle paradise! Nate quickly devours all of the bags and then feeling sad he won't eat anymore. A minute later, the Cheez Doodles regrow! Instead of eating them, he makes a giant Cheez Doodle out of small Cheez Doodles. He is almost done when a huge shadow appears and then demolishes almost all the Cheez Doodles and Nate's doodles are the only ones left. Nate says "NO! NO! NONONONONONO! NOT MY CHEEZ DOODLE SCULPTURE! Nate suddenly wakes up, seeing a huge shadow above him.
