The Halloween Party From The Black Lagoon (Black Lagoon Adventures series Book 5) Read online

“Mummified who?” we ask.

  “My mummified me a yummy hamburger for lunch today,” laughs Derek.

  Eric’s next. “How about a hand-burger,” says Eric, pulling off his fake hand. I hope he doesn’t give me a hand with anything.

  He opens up his shirt and all his intestines fall out. YUCK! At least it’s not lunchtime yet.

  56

  “You’ve certainly got a lot of guts,” smiles Mrs. Green. I love when teachers make jokes.

  Soon Doris spins down the aisle, twirls, and bows.

  Then Freddy bounds up and raises his paws. “A poem,” he starts to recite. “Does a werewolf wear underwear underneath all his hair?”

  “I’m unaware, but I am next,” I answer as I fly up front in a flurry of feathers. And I almost lose my halo.

  “I’m an angel,” I smile, straight- ening my halo.

  “Just remember that for the rest of the year,” smiles Mrs. Green. I hate it when teachers make jokes.

  Randy’s last. He slinks up front. “Allow me to entrodouth myself. I am Count Dracula from Transylvania.”

  “You need a Transyl-fusion,” shouts Eric.

  “Eric, please pull yourself together,” says Mrs. Green.

  “I’m a little batty,” continues Randy as he holds up his cape and flaps back to his seat.

  “Well, you all look beautiful,” says Mrs. Green. “But we have to pick a winner for the grand prize.”

  61

  “What is the grand prize?” asks Eric, snapping his eyeball.

  “The grand prize is a $35 gift certificate to the costume shop,” says Mrs. Green, twirling her bat.

  After a lot of “oohs” and “ahs,” the class votes. It’s really close because all my classmates vote for themselves.

  62

  But do you know who wins? I do.

  I have two votes. Someone else voted for me. As I look around the room, Eric winks his eyeball.

  What a buddy! I’m going to share the grand prize with him. I’ll get him a rubber heart that he can wear on his sleeve.

  63

  As for me, I’ve got everything I want. Angels don’t need much. Well, maybe I’ll just get a little harp.
