School Assembly, Friday afternoon, The Auditorium

[fh_extras]

For today's assembly, there were eleven chairs set up on one half of the stage, a microphone at center stage and a table with several books piled on it one the other half of the stage. When everyone in the audience was seated, a small, blue figure strode onto the stage. "Hello der," it said. "Me Cookie Monster. De following people please to come up on stage and be in spelling bee. Is impromptu."

He cleared his throat and pronounced the names carefully. "JC Broots, Dick Casablancas, Demyx, Zero Hopeless-Savage, Pippi Longstocking, Ami Mizuno, Stealtrike, Tannim, Valentine, Naomi Wildman, and Matilda Wormwood."

Once they were all up on stage, he went to sit behind the table and gave them their instructions. "Me say word, you say word, you spell word, you say word again. If you right, you get cookie and go to next round."

Steerpike was still there. And kind of regretting shoving two cookies into his mouth at once.

He really wanted some water.

"Now I give you word from my own life," Cookie Monster said. "Word is... snuffleupagus."

Well, crap.

Time to sound it out, again. "Snuffleupagus." Break it down into words he knew. "S-N-U-F . . . F-L. . . ." And here was the limb. Did it have an e, or not? Steerpike frowned. ". . . E" he hurried on, hoping he could claim he hadn't said it if it was wrong. "U-P . . . A-G-U-S. . . ." Another S? Best not to risk it. "Snuffleupagus."

"Dat right!" Cookie Monster said, very impressed. "Have cookie, next round start soon."

Steerpike could simply not bring himself to eat this cookie right then. He still needed some water.
