JENS

When you kept asking him and the Fluuber kept saying no, you looked so sad. I just wanted to make you cheer up.

CLAUDIA

Jens gave me a hug and said, “Don’t worry. It’s just a game. Let’s go eat lunch.”

Which actually made me REALLY mad. Because I felt like if we couldn’t even get an 8-point Flubby picture, we’d definitely lose to the Fembots. And I didn’t want Jens to be okay with that—I wanted him to get mad and kick butt with me.

But before I could tell him that, I heard another inside-a-Flubby-head voice yell, “Hey! Kid!”

I turned around, and one of the other Flubbies was standing there. I’m not sure if it was one of the Flubbies who’d turned us down or a totally new Flubby. It’s very hard to tell them apart. Ed. Note: may have been “angry Flubby” (see above)

He said, “You wanna picture wit’ da cat?”

This Flubby had that kind of “Fuhgeddaboudit!” New York accent that cab drivers have in bad movies. (Which, BTW, is RIDICULOUS, because most NYC cab drivers are from foreign countries and don’t sound like that at all.)

I said, “Yes! Will you do it?”

Fuhgeddaboudit Flubby said, “Fifty bucks.”

Which was crazy, because I am not Athena Cohen. Plus it was impossible, because I only had twenty-three dollars on me. So I was about to say, “How about twenty?”

But then Spanish Flubby waved his big furry finger at Fuhgeddaboudit Flubby and yelled, “You cannot do this! You promise the girl! You take her money!”

Fuhgeddaboudit Flubby told Spanish Flubby to get lost. Only he used language you seriously do NOT want to hear coming from a Flubby. Ed. Note: if any 3-year-olds heard him, they are probably scarred for life

Spanish Flubby said something like, “Shame to you! Shame! You wear Flubby costume! You must have honor!”

Then Fuhgeddaboudit Flubby punched Spanish Flubby in the head.
