From Mme. Troyes\u2019 class at Willowdene Primary, Hayley\u2019s best friend Lollipop wants to chat, and she knows that Hayley is somewhere in the hall. Unavoidably, that means that FullyCharged\u2019s best friend SkippyNightmare, is also heading towards the judges\u2019 seats at the front.<\/p>\n<p>However, before OpenMike has a chance to say \u201cand please be back in your seats in thirty minutes,\u201d \u00a0FullyCharged is off like a shot.<\/p>\n<p>The catering staff have prepared four tables of treats across the back wall of the Great Hall. The volunteers RoughDi and ClaireVoyant are running the cake stall, next to Franklin and Faraday who are working on teas and coffees.<\/p>\n<p>Fully provisioned with a chocolate chip cookie in each hand FullyCharged is hanging around at the back looking for SkippyNightmare, whilst he\u2019s at the front looking for FullyCharged.<\/p>\n<p>As the teenagers amass at the back there\u2019s always a blend of chaos and fun, hazard and triumph. Hayley succeeds in guiding all of her eight year old classmates together. Unfortunately, that also means that FullyCharged and SkippyNightmare are now at peak mischief. Mme. Troyes never lets them sit together in her class! She\u2019s not here tonight, so she can\u2019t stop them picking up bad habits from the older kids.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuick, give me one penny,\u201d says MegaBite.<\/p>\n<p>ShortFuse responds, \u201cI don\u2019t have anything left.
