Hi, I’m Harold Fuzzwonker, and today I’m visiting Fizzopolis at ten o’clock on a Monday morning. Why, you might ask, am I not at school on this fine Monday morning? Why am I walking past the Fizzopolis lagoon instead of working on some math problems for my teacher, Miss Yoobler?
Because it’s SUMMER VACATION! No classes! No homework! No Miss Yoobler! And most importantly, no Garvin Snood watching my every move in class. Let me repeat, IT’S SUMMER VACATION! Okay, so obviously I’m excited, and when I get VERY excited, I use ALL CAPS.
Why is everybody meeting over there?
I asked. Floyd, my best good buddy, was sitting on my shoulder munching on a hunk of cheddar cheese. He cheese-mouth-mumbled something in my ear, but I understood him.
I agree,
I said as we passed the Ping-Pong table. Let’s go check it out. Whatever it is, it must be important. And if it’s important, we need to know about it.
Floyd told me I was right, and added that we practically ran the whole place so why weren’t we invited to this important gathering of Fizzies?
To say that we run the whole place might be a slight exaggeration. My dad, Dr. Fuzzwonker, actually runs Fizzopolis. Most of the time Floyd and I go to school and help out in the afternoons with Fizzy chores.
Hey, everybody!
I yelled as I approached the gaggle of Fizzies. Nobody turned around. Velma, a Fizzy with a big round nose and green fur and arms that hung all the way to the ground, let out an A+ burp that lasted about twelve seconds.
Good one, Velma,
I said. What’s going on here? Shouldn’t we all be working?
Floyd grumbled on my shoulder. He wanted a Fuzzwonker Fizz in the worst way, but I ignored him.
What I figured out pretty fast was this: everyone was ignoring us because they were staring at a giant poster stuck to the Fizzomatic machine. My dad was standing next to it, fielding questions. I couldn’t see the poster hanging behind a bunch of furry Fizzies, so I pushed my way to the front. All the Fizzies fizzed as I walked past them, so by the time I popped out on the other side, my hair was totally full of static. I looked like a clown.
Stop laughing at my weird hair,
I said to Floyd.
I stared up at that sign and as I read it, the big fat grin on my face got bigger and bigger. This is what it said:
FIZZIES VS. FOOD COMPETITION!
10 MINUTES TO COOK, FLIP,
AND EAT PANCAKES
Each team will be comprised of
one cooker/flipper, and one eater
THE TEAM THAT EATS

FIZZIES VS. FOOD WILL TAKE PLACE

1. Fame!
2. A full stomach!
3. A custom Fuzzwonker Fizz flavor of your choice!
4. Fame!
Floyd!
I yelled. We could totally win this thing. Look at all that fame we’d get! And we could come up with our own flavor!
Floyd was nodding like a lunatic. My best good eating buddy was on board.
Are there any more questions?
Dr. Fuzzwonker asked. He was standing in a white lab coat, holding a clipboard and a pen.
That little blowhard Grabstack raised his paw and stepped forward like he owned the place. Could you offer a tad more fame?
I’m glad you asked, Grabstack,
my dad said. I’m afraid I cannot offer any more fame. There’s no more room on the poster.
Grabstack looked at the poster and nodded as if he understood.
If that’s all the questions,
my dad said, let’s get back to work so we can finish for the day. Then there’ll be more time to practice for the contest!
My dad pulled me aside as all the Fizzies hustled back to their jobs.
You and Floyd should take the next week off. Consider it your paid summer vacation. Every kid needs a break.
I was thankful for the offer, but I knew my dad was giving us time off for a very different reason.
