Chapter 11-Island Escape
Sam, Danny, and Jazz walked down the street, going to Jazz's job, a luau restaurant. As they walked, Jazz turned to Sam, "OK, I got to get to work. Stick around town and stay out of the roads, OK? I'll meet you at work," Jazz said, pressing a few dollars into Sam's hand, who accepted it eagerly and stuffed it in her pocket.
Danny had found a TV store that was playing a scary movie with a giant spider that was crashing around the town. Danny pressed his palms to the glass in front of the TVs and leaned in. "Oh? Ooh!" He moaned a little in pleasure, watching the people scream and run away.
Then he decided to imitate the spider, stomping around in a circle, roaring and growling like the monster he was. When a lady hit a high-pitched scream, Danny smiled and looked over at the screen, enjoying the yelling.
"OK, I guess we should be going," Jazz said to Sam, then gave her a raspberry on her cheek. Sam giggled.
"What about Danny?" Sam asked happily, pointing to Danny, who had started growling and stomping again. Jazz just looked over at him and groaned as she rolled her eyes and walked away.
Sam waved as Jazz walked away. Danny heard a jingle, like that on a bike, and growled at it. Sam turned and saw Dash, Valerie, Star, and Paulina riding bikes together across the street. Sam gasped. "My friends!" She cried.
As Sam ran over to them, they tried to pedal away, but they were too slow, and Sam ran right in front of them, despite her sister's warning to stay out of the street. Dash and his gang had to stop. "What do you want?" Dash asked angrily.
"I'm sorry I bit you. And pulled your hair. And punched you in the face," Sam said, holding her arm and looking down in modesty.
"Apology NOT accepted," Dash said, shaking his head. "Now get outta my way before I run you over!" Danny walked over to Sam. "Agh!" Dash cried, looking at Danny.
Sam glanced over at him and smiled. "I got a new friend, his name is Danny!" Sam pointed to Danny.
"That is the ugliest thing I have ever saw," Dash said.
"YEAH," Dash's friends sang in chorus behind him.
Danny walked over to Dash's bike and looked at it. He grabbed the front wheel and lifted it, making the bike tilt a bit. "EW, get it away from me; I'm gonna get a disease!" Dash cried.
Danny looked over his shoulder and saw Vlad and Holographic Maddie, trying to be incognito, wearing disguises and holding newspapers in front of their faces. Vlad wore a Hawaiian shirt, fake mustache, sunglasses, jeans, and a straw hat. Maddie wore a red wig, lipstick, fake eyelashes, light purple eye shadow, red blush, a fake beauty mark, and a purple dress.
When Danny saw them, he gasped and lifted Dash's bike all the way off, dumping Dash onto the floor. Dash screamed as he fell. As Danny grabbed Sam's arm and started pedaling away quickly, Dash whined, "WAA! Somebody DO something!"
But Danny and Sam disappeared over a hill.
"Oh great. He's loose," Maddie said, motioning to Danny. Vlad lazily looked over his paper and shades, and said,
"His destructive programming is taking affect," then he pushed his glasses back and looked at the paper again. "He will be irresistibly drawn to big cities where he will back up sewers, reverse street signs, and steal everyone's left shoe,"
Meanwhile, Danny and Sam were riding very quickly across the island. Danny WAS looking for a big city to destroy. They stopped at the edge of the ocean. Danny looked across the beautiful water and grunted disapproval. He turned and pedaled the other way.
This time, they stopped just over a small cliff, next to the ocean again. Danny nearly yelled and turned another direction. They went across a big plain, then stopped on a rock, over the ocean! Danny was getting exasperated, and stopped to think. Sam said to herself, "It's nice to live on an island with no large cities,"
When Danny heard that, he immediately tensed up and appeared to have a seizure, and fell to the floor, off the bike, moaning and growling.
When he hit the ground, Sam flinched and looked at him. "Are you OK?" She asked him as he writhed there.
