Chapter 2: Handling the Freaks

Duck feeding and chatting was what they did for five minutes, till Ly Tai arrived. Chan and Bi Bi got bored in seconds, and started to moan and complain. Luckily, Ly Tai arrived.

Ly Tai wasn't a bumlicker, or anything similiar. She was Lian's best friend from waterbending class, or water-buddies (Ly Tai's idea). She had long brown hair, often put into a high plait, starting from thre centre of her head.

Ly Tai wasn't a particulary good waterbender; she rather learn chi-blocking from her mum, Tilota. However, her father, Wang, insisted she'd learn waterbending from her aunt, Ju. Which, therefore, made Lian, Lan and Li her cousin.

It was then, when all the L-girls plan went into action. Lian with Lan; Ly Tai with Li, and complete ignorence towards the bumlickers and Mr. Dancey-Pancey. It was working for the most part, but would have completely worked, if Chan wasn't so hard to ignore...

He'd pop out in all directions; north, south, east and west. He'd cackle and roar, and run circles round the Gardens, demanding to be chased. He even stole Lian notebook, with sketches and doodles, schemes and plans of everything he L-girls planned to do in the furture, or already done in the past.

"Corner him!" were the commands. There was only one way to catch Chan, trapping. The girls trapped him at every corner. Lian snatched the red notebook, and hid it in her room.

She took out her favourite book, When the Spirits Met, and began to read. It was a story that Lee wrote himself, and Lian drew pictures for. Lian was just about to turn the last page of the chapter when, Chan brust into the room.

He grabbed the book, and read the front cover. He flipped through the book, and only stopped to look at the pictures.

"These pictures are impressive," commented Chan

"Well, thanks," replied Lian.

"In the book i have at home Bi Bi and Pi Yu coloured the pitures in!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, they recently gave the Painted Lady blue skin!" They both brust out laughing.

"They gave my moher blue skin?"

"Yeah, since the Painted Lady is your mother!"

"Let's join the other outside," said Lian as they walked outside.

Meanwhile, Ly Tai, Lan and Li were chatting, and ignore the unwanted pests that wound up near them.

"Keep cool, and don't talk to them," told Lan.
