Very near the place where Macy was trying to battle Sparkks, Clay was still chasing after the damsel in distress. “Gotcha!” he said, lunging toward the woman’s captor. But instead of getting a hold on her, he landed empty-handed, flat on his face.

“What is with you?” The damsel shouted at him. “I thought you were a brave and noble knight!” She used a silly voice to copy Clay’s earlier words. “ ‘For justice! For honor!’ ” Muttering, she added, “More like … for nothing!”

Clay grumbled under his breath. He ran toward the woman’s captor one more time—but again, he missed both the monster and the damsel in distress completely. “This can’t be happening!” he wheezed, falling to the ground.

Just then, Macy stumbled toward him. She tripped on her dress and cried out, “Ahhh!”

“Whoa … Macy?” Clay said, gaping at her. “What happened to you?”

Macy looked down at her gown. “Is it that bad?”

“Well, uh, no. I’ve just never seen you look so …” Clay trailed off.

“Pathetic?” Macy prompted.

“Elegant,” Clay said.

“Now you’re just mocking me,” Macy frowned. She grunted and tore at the dress, trying to pry away the annoying costume.

Clay shook his head. “No! I mean, at least you haven’t completely failed as a knight. Like me. I can’t …” He drew in a ragged breath. “I can’t even rescue a damsel in distress!”

“Let me help,” Macy offered. “I’m as tough and fearless as ever!” She tried to charge forward, but her dress was wrapped too tightly around her legs and she tripped again. Kicking at the fabric, Macy howled, “Stupid dress!”
