“It was hilarious,” George told Alex later that afternoon, while the boys were hanging out in George’s living room. “Mrs. Farley had this big glop of chocolate sauce hanging off her nose. Just hanging there. Like a chocolate booger.”

Alex laughed. “That had to be really funny.”

“It was,” George said. “I guess Mr. Farley’s plan for getting kids psyched up for his ice cream parlor didn’t work too well.”

“Not this plan, anyway,” Alex agreed. “But you know the Farley family. They’re bound to come up with some other sneaky way to get everyone to go to their place instead of Ernie’s. Which is why we have to find out what caused your burp as fast as we can—just in case Ernie’s Ice Cream Emporium really does go out of business.”

“It was pretty empty in there today, huh?” George asked.

Alex nodded. “I think Ernie was actually crying in his office at one point. His eyes were all red.”

Wow. George had never seen a grown-up cry before.

“Were you able to look at any more ingredients after I left yesterday?” George asked Alex.

“There’s nothing out of the ordinary in Ernie’s root beer floats,” Alex told him.

“That’s why I keep telling you the burp is magic,” George said. “It was that dumb shooting star.”

“I’m not so sure,” Alex told him. “I still think there’s a scientific explanation. And I may have figured out a way to solve this mystery.”

George sat up excitedly. “You have? What is it? Tell me!”

“I don’t know if you’re gonna like it,” Alex said.

“Oh, come on,” George insisted. “It can’t be any worse than spicy ginger candy or drinking gallons and gallons of warm water or—”

“This plan’s a little different,” Alex told him. “You’re gonna have to return to the scene of the burp.”
