8 Doom and Gloom

CHAPTER 8 DOOM AND GLOOM Later that night, I have a nightmare—well, it's more like a field-mare. YIKES! It's tomorrow, and the field day has started.... Derek, Randy, and Doris have all grown into ten-foot-tall giants. Coach Kong has joined their team as well. They even have team uni- forms and a team name—THE GIANTS.

Eric, Freddy, Penny, and I are called the Wimps. Boy, I wish I had my rubber band. The first event is the Tug-of- War. Our team holds on tightly to the rope. The Giants give one yank and we go sailing over the school! SEE YA. HAVE A NICE FLIGHT.

The next event is the Soccer Kick. They kick us instead of the ball. And we go sailing over the school again! TWO POINTS. BLAST OFF!

After that, the Bean Bag Toss starts. But the Giants toss us. Once again, we go sailing over the school. The last event is Bubble Gum Blowout. Freddy is now able to get 240 pieces of bubble gum into his mouth. NOT AGAIN! THIS IS FUN. BYE.

Then he blows a gigantic bubble. It gets bigger and bigger. He begins to float up. We grab on to him and together we all sail over the school. Our team is disqualified for leaving the playing field. DON'T LOOK DOWN. NOT FAIR. COME BACK.

I wake up and I've fallen out of bed... right into Friday. It's time for the field day! Hope our team's ready.
