Sneak preview at the next Moody Eel adventure journal!

I stare down at a broken robot, and listen as the mall manager says "And stay off the energy drinks."

Whoa, whoa whoa. NOBODY tells ME stay off energy drinks. Pure GENIUS is born through those things! And plus, I'm on the job because of 'em! Now, let's see, how did I even get myself into this. Oh, yes!

DRAMATIC FLASHBACK

About thirty minutes ago, I met some dude named Gus in the parking lot of the Twin Palms mall, which is one of those huge, fancy malls with a bunch of floors that have a bunch of stores and are always getting more. He was sad cause he lost his job. He walked off, and there was some radio company guy in his car who said he felt bad for Gus then drove off. A shopkeeper said he need's someone to look after his store and get this: He asked ME to apply! For once in my life, I thought  I  would be the hero instead of coming too late and watching Giant Hawk walk away with gold medallion that's so shiny that it blinds me temporarily. By the way, Giant Hawk is one of my best friend from P.O.P, the Pre-adventurers of Poptropica, but it irks me that he's so much BETTER than me at everything. Anyway, this was MY moment to shine. I walked right up to the door of the security room and slammed my hand into the bell. And african-american lady who must be the mall manager opens the door and I say "I'm here to sign up for the Night Watchman job!" I have a big smile on my face while I say it. She shows me to the door, and this office looks AMAZING. There's a high-tech computer, official-looking papers everywhere, and one big blueprint of the ENTIRE mall up near the ceiling. Not to mention, there's energy drinks EVERYWHERE. So she shows me out the door and we're in the mall. She tells me to ride around on the Segway and stop the troublemaking robots. There's a little kid running up the down escalator. I tell him to stop, and he starts bawling. Then he gets carried down the escalator and ripped to shreds. Ok, little mistake. Then a "theif" runs off with an old lady's purse. I chase it up and down the mall. Then I lose track of it. Suddenly it pops out of nowhere and my segway runs into it. Then I find myself flying into the air. I land on a food court table. That's when the mall manager says a snarky comment that changes my life, FOREVER.
