Duck has a Plan! A Plan to team up with Mytho and get him away from scary Fakir and then working together they'll get his heart shards back! It's a great, Miss Edel-endorsed Plan and Duck is very proud of it.
The Plan runs into its first snag when Duck realizes that in duck shape (she obviously can't go leave a note in Mytho's locker as a girl!) she'll have some difficulty getting the door to the boy's locker room open. That's okay, though - Maximo comes out while she's waiting, and she can sneak in around the edge of the door as it closes.
The Plan hits its second snag when Mytho's locker turns out also to be closed. Fortunately, Gold Crown Academy's lockers are as flimsy as those at most boarding schools - however rich in magic gold, fairy tales are not known for budgeting a lot of cash for gym repairs - and a couple of firm kicks from a webbed foot send it flying open. Duck deposits her letter inside, hits the locker door closed again, and leans back against it with a sigh of relief . . .
- and then the Plan hits the third snag, as she hears the door starting to open again. No one is supposed to catch her in here! They'll totally think it's weird if they see a duck in the locker room! Hastily, Duck flutters into Mytho's locker and peers out - just in time to see Iguanadon, who is a very sweet kid with very sharp teeth and a taste for poultry, saunter in.
Hopefully he can't smell as well as Crocodellia can . . .
