did. There, helping some people train, her blond hair tied back in a ponytail, kicking everyone’s butts, was Tahnee. Pete had never seen her fight before.
    â€˜Not to scabby hey, Pete?’ Molloy asked. Pete assumed scabby was rhyming slang for shabby, otherwise that was just gross. Anyway, Pete couldn’t see scabs on any of the people fighting, apart from one guy who had a scraped knee. He just nodded dumbly in response to Molloy’s question, unable to stop watching Tahnee. Molloy continued talking as they walked towards the fighters.
    â€˜Yeah, after you were queer ( here) last time, Tahnee decided that she wanted to learn how to defend herself. Just in case, you know, she ever went on a quest too.’
    Pete smiled. That was kind of cool. He saw Tahnee finish-off the last of the people she was training with, and then she spun around and saw him.
    â€˜PETE!’ she cried out, before running over to crush him in a big hug. Pete hugged her back with his arm. This was one of the rare times he really wished he had two arms. They pulled away and smiled at each other. Pete looked from Tahnee to Molloy and back to Tahnee. They were all together again, and were about to go and see Ashlyn and Marloynne be married. Could anything possibly go wrong?

    Okay. Let’s stop things right there. For any of you who have ever seen movies or read books where someone thinks or says that everything is perfect and nothing could possibly go wrong, you all know that’s the cue for a massive disaster.
    Well maybe that won’t happen this time. Hey?  Think you’re so smart? Maybe this time nothing will actually go wrong and it will all end perfectly.
    See? Not always right are you Mister or Master or Mrs or Miss or Ms or Madam Smartypants.  You’re so like, ‘Ooh, look at me, I’m so smart. I can tell what’s going to happen just by reading one line.’
    Okay, so you actually are right. There is going to be a disaster but that’s not the point. Stop guessing what’s going to happen and let’s get on with the story before I say something I regret, like flibbertigibbet.  Man, I hate that word.

Chapter Six
    Let the games begin
    S yra Tanooth spent a lot of time with the evil blob. He gathered a number of things. One was a bunch of flowers for the table. They looked lovely. Another was that the blob’s name was actually Bob. At first Syra thought it had said its name was ‘Blob’, but it had really said ‘Bob’. Bob the Blob. So, thought Syra, I have an evil sidekick named Bob. Not the evilest name going around, but it will have to do.
    He also learnt that Bob’s posh accent was rather endearing, and that it might be conveniently misleading. Surely no one who sounded posh and English could be evil? Finally though, Syra realised that Bob was not quite pure evil. When he questioned Bob about this, he discovered Bob’s mum had spread a few rumours to make her son seem more evil than he was, so the other blobs wouldn’t pick on him.
    At the same time, Bob also learnt a few things. One was that he was glad to be out of that awful little cave he had been trapped in for so long. Two was that he was unsure if Syra was a genius or a total idiot. Three was that he hadn’t eaten maggots before, but they were extremely tasty. Four was that Syra’s accent seemed put-on, as if he were trying to sound more evil. And finally, he had discovered that Syra really did look dapper in a cape. Bob grinned. They would create some havoc together these two, and he would enjoy having Syra as a sidekick.

    Pete McGee and Larson Smithers stood in front of Mortone, town leader of Bandragon and father of Molloy and Tahnee. Pete held out a carefully wrapped cloth package to him.
    â€˜The Wilderene Flower,’ he said. ‘Bandragon has always been my place of choice for it. Your healers will gain most from its powers.’
    Mortone took the package with a
