Chapter 97: Judith:
Angelica's POV:
I was playing with Fluffy, my kitty when my Mommy got a call and then she screamed. "My Mother's coming over," says Mommy.
"I'm gonna meet my Nanna," I asked.
"This is terrible," says Mommy.
"Why's that," asks Daddy.
"She can be a bit... difficult," says Mommy.
I'm gonna meet my Nanna! Nothing's gonna ruin this!
Glowface's POV:
"Is he here," I asked.
"Yes Sir," says Lorenzo, "presenting Mr. Swiper the Fox!"
"Swiper the Fox, reporting for duty!"
"Oh, you're an actual fox," I said, "I thought you were just one of those animal themed people. Well, I guess a fox could work. Now, according to your résumé, you once helped a guy find the lost city of Parapata... but you were foiled by a 6-year-old girl who talks to monkeys?"
"She was 16," says Swiper.
"That's pathetic," I said.
"Sir, your plans have been getting foiled by a group of children younger than 6," says Lorenzo.
"Fair point," I said, "Swiper, Lou Pickles has the legendary Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You!"
"Ooh, what's that," asks Swiper.
"It's a book that talks about different magical creatures hidden from mortal eyes," says Glowface, "an evil shapeshifting ogre named Mulgarath was after it, but it will soon belong to Glowface, head of S.N.A.F.U.! Do this for me and we will reward you. Got it?"
"You can count on me, Boss," says Swiper.
"Swiper, start swiping," I said.
Angelica's POV:
My Nana came over. "Mother, good to see you," says Mommy.
"Charlotte, this is my new husband, Julien and his son, Simon!"
"Nice to meet you," says Simon.
"Come on in," says Mommy.
. . .
Nana was telling me all the funny things my Mommy did when she was my age.
"So, whee do you keep the food," asks Simon.
"I'll show it to you," says Daddy.
Drew's POV:
Simon and I entered the kitchen when we got ambushed...
. . .
I woke up and saw I was tied up by a fox with a mask. "Wha-"
"Where is it," asks the Fox. Wait, what did the fox say?
"Where is what," I asked.
"You can't fool me, Lou Pickles, where is the book that would have all the knowledge of the magical world?"
Now it's starting to make sense. "Look, Mr. Fox-"
"My name is Swiper the Fox!"
"Right, because what I said would've sounded stupid. I'm not Lou Pickles, I'm his son, Drew Pickles. You're not even at the right house. He lives at 1258 N. Highland." Sometimes, I think Stu was smart to cut ties with Pop for years."
"Oh, my bad," says Swiper.
"Wait, you believe me just like that," I asked.
Swiper then unties me. "Well, I gotta get to the right address." Swiper then runs off. Man, he's fast, but he has got to be the worst bad guy ever... I JUST HELPED A BURGLAR BREAK INTO POP, STU, AND DIDI'S HOUSE! Wait, where's Simon?
Simon's POV:
A book like that could make me very rich. I have to find it before that weird talking fox does!
Angelica's POV:
Mommy and Nana weren't really getting along that well. I wonder where Daddy and Uncle Simon are. Then Daddy came and grabbed his coat. "Gotta go," says Daddy, "a talking fox is going to break into my Dad's place to find a book that tells you about magical creatures."
"What," asks Nana.
"Don't ask," says Mommy.
Tommy's POV:
Dil and me were watching Reptar when someone broke in. We walked over and saw Spike scaring a fox with a mask. "What, haven't you ever seen a masked fox get cornered by a dog before," asks the fox.
"No," I said, "but we have seen aliums and a mean magic lady."
"What," asks the fox.
"Hey, someone else is breaking in," says Dil.
"And he's taking the book," says the other guy.
"Hey, I was supposed to steal that," says the fox.
"This isn't a job for an animal!" The fox then gets away from Spike and tackles the man to the ground. "Get off me, you rodent!"
"Foxes aren't even rodents, Frenchy!"
"I'm BriTtish."
The two were fighting over the book. Then Uncle Drew came in and he jumps on them.
"Why are you all fighting over a book of bedtime stories," asks Dil.
The three of them then stop and realize what they were fighting over. "This is embarrassing," says the fox.
"I should have known, only a fool would make the book so easy to find!"
"By the way, Simon, why were you going after the book," asks Uncle Drew.
"I'll have you know; I was quiTte just trying to keep it out of this fox's hands!"
Then Spike came in... even though he was already here!
"What," I asked.
"What," asks Dil.
"What," asks Uncle Drew.
"What," asks Simon.
"What," asks the fox.
Then the first Spike turned into a monster. "I am Mulgarath and I will have the book!"
We all ran and Mallgarlic started breaking things.
. . .
"Glowface did mention a shapeshifting ogre," says the fox.
"You work for Glowface," I asked.
"Does this happen a lot," asks Simon.
"Pretty much," says Uncle Drew.
"Grandpa's in bed," says Dil, "but we may have to wake him!"
"Let's go," says Swiper.
Angelica's POV:
"You've always been unbearable," says Mommy, "do you realize I've been too scared to tell anyone my age? I've pretended to be younger than I actually am and it's because of you!"
"Wait, you're older than you say," I asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about," says Nana, "I've never done that."
"You've been my age since I was born," says Mommy.
"Yeah... I might have... I see your point... that is... hard to swallow."
"Is that what eating your words mean," I asked.
"No, it is not," says Pop-Pop.
Tommy's POV:
We got to Grandpa's room and just as the fox was about to wake him... Grandpa punches him. "Crackers." He then goes back to sleep.
Angelica's POV:
"I never realized you felt this way," says Nana, "I'm so sorry!"
"No, Mother, I'm sorry," says Mommy. They then hugged and cried.
"You did a good thing, Angelica," says Pop-Pop.
"I just pointed out how they've been fighting a long time," I said.
"That was quiTte the good thing, you made them realize they wee quiTte fighting in front of you."
Then Daddy came back. "The fox got away, Pop destroyed an ogre and Simon's a crook," says Daddy, "I'm going to bed."
"I'm going to take a nap as well," says Uncle Simon.
"What goes on around here," asks Nana.
AGU Adventurers' POV:
Angelica: I'm at the end of my rope
I'm at the end of my tether
I feel so bad I could choke
From the rain after wonderful weather
And they hate me
For so long they had to cope
And they despise me
Like the rain after wonderful weather
And they hate me
Like the cows hate the people in leather
And they despise me
From every day in miserable weather
AGU Adventurers: Am I a bad egg?
I take the pain from everyone's pleasure
I am a bad egg
It's like the pain in miserable weather
Choke, choke me now
Choke, choke me now
Angelica: I'm at the end of my rope
I'm at the end of my tether
I feel so sick that I could choke
And then the hit me with this wonderful weather
And they hate me
I feel the rain pour down whenever
They despise me
I feel the pain and it hurts me forever
And they hate me
To the point where it doesn't get better
And they despise me
Like the rain in wonderful weather
AGU Adventurers: Am I a bad egg?
You've got to learn to get yourself together
I am a bad egg
It's so much pain in miserable weather
Angelica: Ohhh whoa ohhh
See I'm just a little girl
Don't know how to make it in this world
Oh, whoa whoa individuality
Show oh how they're looking at me
While I eat the whole world
And I'll eat it all
And I'll eat the whole world
No matter how big or small
Am I? Am I?
AGU Adventurers: Am I a bad egg?
It's like the pain in a wonderful weather
Am I a bad egg
You need to learn to get yourself together
I am a bad egg
It's like the pain and it's not the weather
I am a bad egg
It's like the pain in
Angelica/AGU Adventurers: And I'm a bad egg
Bad, bad egg
Bad, bad egg
Bad, bad egg
Bad, bad egg!
