Boo shot up into the air. "FEED THE MONSTER! I AM PERFECT FOR THIS! I HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR DAYS!"
"You have been preparing?" Felix asked skeptically.
"Mentally."
"That is not preparation."
"It is ghost preparation."
The groups split.
Boo, Sable, and Lucien headed toward the Feed the Monster station, where a large decorated box sat on a table. The box was painted to look like a monster. Big eyes, sharp teeth, a wide open mouth. Children from different classes were already gathered around, holding beanbags in their hands.
Professor Hobb stood at the station, holding a clipboard. His bald head shone in the sunlight.
"Welcome, welcome," Professor Hobb said, adjusting his glasses. "Please form an orderly line. Remember, three attempts per child. Points will be awarded for successful feeds."
Boo floated to the front of the line.
"Ah, Boo," Professor Hobb said. "I see you have registered for this event."
"YES, PROFESSOR EGG!" Boo announced.
