“Put your dog outside,” said Nick.
Nick was brave. He once rode his bike full speed down Suicide Hill. But he was afraid of Fluffy, Stuart’s little white dog.
Marvin petted Fluffy.
“Careful, he’s going to bite you,” said Nick.
Fluffy growled at Nick.
“He’s a good dog,” said Marvin.
Fluffy licked Marvin’s fingers.
Stuart put Fluffy outside.
“Where’d you get that stupid dog?” asked Nick.
“Fluffy’s not stupid,” said Stuart.
“He is too,” said Nick. “He looks like a rat that ran through a cotton candy machine.”
“We got him at the pound,” said Stuart. “I picked him out myself.”
“Well, you picked the wrong dog,” said Nick.
“I did not!”
“Did too.”
Marvin was afraid they’d get into a fight. Nick and Stuart were always getting into fights.
“I think my parents picked the wrong baby,” Marvin said.
“Huh?” asked Nick.
“What?” said Stuart.
“At the hospital,” said Marvin. “They took the wrong baby home. They’re not really my parents.”
He had been thinking about this all day. He didn’t really believe it. He just wanted to keep his best friends from fighting.
“I was kidnapped the day I was born,” said Marvin.
“You’re Prince Robert!” exclaimed Stuart.
Stuart was smart. It sometimes amazed Marvin how quickly he caught on to things.
“Say what?” asked Nick.
“Marvin’s parents are really the King and Queen of Shampoon,” Stuart explained.
“Wait a second,” said Nick. “Mr. and Mrs. Redpost? No way!”
“No,” said Stuart. “Don’t you remember what we read in Current Events? The Prince was kidnapped at birth.”
“So?” said Nick.
“So Marvin is really Prince Robert,” said Stuart.
