"Well, while I'm here I might as well get some popcorn," thought Lizy, "Might as well enjoy myself before Cruel comes to power."

The thought had just barely slipped through his cranium when Chubby let the arrow fly. As expected, Bob fainted and the apple fell to the ground. It seemed all hope was lost.

But while the lizards of the Valley hung their an the underlings of Cruel rejoiced, the arrow flew through were the apple had been, ricocheted off the sign to the coffee shop, off the clock tower at city hall, off the bough of the tree in the center of city square...

"HA! HA!" laughed the Mean, "I win! Lizard City is..."

Off the Mean's head (knocking him clean out), off the very peak of Mt. Evrest, off the Sears Tower, off the backboard...

Now wait here a minute! This has gone too far. Chubby, this is the last time I give you the keyboard while I get up to get a drink!

Hmm... How do I hurry this up? Okay, here we go again!

...Off the Brooklyn Bridge, finally coming to a stop in the apple. Now the citizens of Lizard City and Cruel's troops got into a fight over whether all this nonsense really counted or not.

Poor Lizy was stuck in the middle, too. Knocked around and getting trampled underfoot, poor Lizy was in a terrible mess! One might ven say he was a terrible mess. But it was not to last!

"Hey look!" yelled somebody from the ensuing chaos, "The Mt. Lizard Castle! It's taking off."
