Sunshine Coffee Shop was packed.
People sat at tables, drinking coffee and eating baked goods.
A woman stood behind the counter.
"I can help the next customer."
A man stepped up to the counter.
He ordered a cup of tea.
"I'll also have a donut, please."
He sat down and took a bite of his donut. Suddenly . . .
"Grargh!"
"Yuck!" Jack looked at the food on his tray and frowned.
"Why did Principal Penn have to change the menu?"
It was lunchtime.
Roxy and her friends were in the school cafeteria.
Today was the first day with the new lunch menu.
The kids' trays were full of vegetables and whole grains.
All of the food was now healthy and organic.
Terrell groaned.
"Why did Principal Penn do this to us?
The old menu was perfect, except for sloppy joes."
"You two are acting silly," Mara said.
"This food is delicious."
She took a bite of her kale salad and smiled.
She ate some more.
Terrell looked at his food suspiciously.
He stuck his fork into a small cube and held it up.
"What is this thing?"
"It's tofu," Mara said.
"It's made from soybeans.
It's good. You should try it."
Terrell wrinkled his nose. "No, thanks!"
The tofu fell off his fork.
It bounced off the table and landed on the floor.
A kid walking by stepped on the tofu.
It was now flat and mushy, with bits of dirt on it.
Jack and Terrell laughed.
"I like the new menu," Roxy said.
"Also, this isn't the only thing Principal Penn changed.
She wants everyone to be healthier.
So she added ten more minutes to recess."
"Now that is a good change!" Jack said.
"Yeah, but . . ." Terrell sighed.
"I wish Rocket Girl would save us from this kale and tofu."
Roxy rolled her eyes.
"Rocket Girl has more important things to do, Terrell.
And besides, maybe Rocket Girl actually likes this kind of food."
Terrell gave Roxy a sly look.
"She does? How do you know?"
Roxy froze. "Um . . ."
Just then her watch beeped.
"I'll be right back," Roxy told her friends.
She went into the hallway and flipped the watch open.
Mayor Bloom looked scared.
"What's wrong, Mayor?" Roxy asked.
"Rocket Girl! Something terrible is happening," Mayor Bloom said.
"Hungry zombies are invading Metro City!
There's a crowd of them at Sunshine Coffee Shop!"
Roxy gulped. "Don't worry, Mayor. I'm on my way!"
