"A...Hat? Okay..." Dib searched his drawers for a hat of some kind, finally he found a navy blue flat topped hat. It suited Richard, it even had a black ribbon around it.

"Here, um... How's this?" Dib asked, handing it out to Rikky.

"Hey! You got a great lotta close! To bad i've almost never been of you..." said the Trench-Coat.

Dib was a little, shall we say, 'Weirded out' by this statement, but he didn't have much time ti dwell on it.

Rikky had gone downstairs, AND he was late, AND Gaz was down there.

When he came down, he saw a... well, strange sight.

Gaz had twisted Rikky's arm up behind him, and was pinning him down.

"Will you take your stupid Coat and leave? It's annoying." she said moodily.

"I...Um...OKAY!" Dib said desperately.

When he got outside, he rounded on Rikky.

"What were you thinking! You know Gaz! You know what she can do!" Dib hissed.

"Sorry Dib, but she's one heck of a good lookin' girl" he said.

"You stay in the backyard OKAY? I'm going to skool." Dib said angrily.

"Ooh! Skool...Heheh... Lemme come, I'd like to visit the local females..." said Rikky, and if he had a face, it would have a VERY wide grin on it.

"What!? NO!" Dib said franticly.

"Alright then, you wanna play hard ball, i'll play hard ball." it said, and before Dib could so much as blink, it swirled upwards and DOWN! And, well...Um...It put itself on Dib. The hat floated down, and the pants...Um...Just lay there...

"Look pal, I'm sorry, but I really don't want to stay here." and that was the last thing Dib heard for about a Day.
