Chapter 4: The Plan:

Jack's POV:

"Kubla Krause must be overthrown," I said.

Then there was a knock on the door and Sapphira answers and it's Snip and Holly. "Do you have a room to rent," asks Snip.

"I don't believe it," I said, "these are my friends! This is Holly."

"She's smaller than Santa's elves," says Sapphira's Father.

"UUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh... Got it," I said, "she was punished by a witch, so the witch shrunk her!"

"What did she do to anger the witch," asks Sapphira's Mother.

She would ask that. "She made out with a man the witch loved," I lied.

"You know I try to avoid things like romance," says Holly.

"I panicked," I said, "this is Sn-oops!"

"Another oops," asks Sapphira.

"Fernando Leonardi Kratsky Dopopolopolous," says Snip.

"What," I asked.

"It was all I could think of," says Snip.

. . .

Snip, Holly, and I were working on a plan.

"We have to find a way to take down Kubla Krause," I said, "any ideas?"

"Well... no," says Snip.

"Can't the people just leave," asks Holly.

"They can't afford to," I said, "Kubla took all the forms of transportation. It's like this guy's trying to win the worse person award."

Kubla's POV:

The worrrse perrrson awarrrd vill be mine!

Jack's POV:

"Maybe we can trick Kubla into moving to another country," says Snip.

"Or we could freeze him," says Holly.

"I'm sure we'll think of something," I said.

. . .

"Okay, so we're just going to climb that Icey Mountain and take on Kubla Krause head on," I said, "that might work."
