‘Mmmmmm?’ Pradeep squealed as Frankie, my pet zombie goldfish, clamped his mouth shut with his fins.

‘Whoops! That must have been the one I put Frankie in,’ I muttered. I handed Pradeep a fresh bag as Frankie plopped back into his water-filled one. ‘I guess he wanted to make sure that you weren’t going to heave on him,’ I added, placing Frankie on my lap while Pradeep was sick. Again.

We were on our way to the Countywide Inter-Schools Intellectual Sports Day Challenge. On our coach were the netball team, the track team and the football team – who were going to take part in the sporty events. Plus the chess team, the poetry society, and the knitting, cooking and quilting clubs – who were going to compete in the intellectual and craft events.

‘What are we going to do with Frankie during the races?’ Pradeep asked.

‘It’s not like we’ll really be racing, Pradeep,’ I said. ‘I can look after him while you’re doing your chess-club stuff. And I’m just a reserve for the track team. They’ll never make me actually race.’

‘But are you sure it was a good idea to bring him?’ Pradeep went on.

‘I couldn’t risk leaving Frankie at home,’ I replied. ‘What if Mark gets home from school before we do? And what about Fang?’

Ever since Mark, my Evil Scientist big brother, tried to poison Frankie with toxic gunge and flush him down the loo, they’ve been mortal enemies. It was hard enough having a pet and a big brother who were always trying to attack each other, but things got even worse when Mark got a cute, but totally evil, vampire-kitten sidekick called Fang.

Pradeep nodded carefully. He looked a bit green again – probably from the nodding and from looking at the water sloshing about in Frankie’s bag. If you hadn’t guessed already, Pradeep and bus trips go together like snow and socks, or homework and weekends, or Mark (my Evil Scientist big brother) and Frankie (my pet undead zombie goldfish).

In other words – they don’t go together at all.
