Chapter 3: Buster:

Susie's POV:

We were decorating for Kwanzaa. I hung the mask on the wall, I was standing on a chair, but there's something about that mask.

"Hey, did someone say my name," asks Buster.

"I don't think so," says Lisa.

"I didn't," says Edwin.

"Not me," I said.

. . .

The Pickles came over. "Is that the mask," asks Tommy.

"Yep," I said.

"It kind of looks like a Zim," says Dil.

"Maybe that's why it creeps me out," I said.

"You know, I was in Africa," says Tommy and Dil's Grandpa, then he sees the mask. "Where have I seen that before?"

Buster's POV:

I was asked to get dinner started again. "Buster!"

"Huhh," I asked.

"Put me on!"

"Who says that," I asked.

"Things have changed for the worse! Put me on! I just want to go back to the old ways! Help me, Buster!"

I then tried to ignore it.

Susie's POV:

"I'm telling you, there's something weird about that mask," I said.

"You may not like that mask," says Grandaunt T, "but I think it really brings in some culture!"

"Hey Susie," says Tommy, "where did you say it came from again?"

"Mack Stuckburger," I said.

"Yeah, there can't be anything good about that mask," says Dil.
