"Grr!" Roxy struggled in the chocolate syrup.
It was thick and heavy.
Slowly she stood up.
Then she spun around.
She spun faster and faster, like a tornado.
Drops of syrup flew off of her and splattered all over.
Soon Roxy was clean.
She looked around. "Where's Le Sweet?"
Roxy flew out a window. "There he is!"
Le Sweet was driving a delivery truck on the road below.
The truck was zooming toward the city.
A different delivery truck lay on its side.
Roxy flew to the second truck.
The driver stood next to it.
"What happened?" Roxy asked.
The driver threw his hands in the air.
"Le Sweet ran me off the road!
Then he stole my delivery route.
He said I'd never deliver my whole-grain cookies again.
From now on, people are only eating Le Sweet donuts.
The man is crazy!"
"Where was your next delivery?" Roxy asked.
"Metro City Elementary School," the man said.
Roxy gulped. "We need to go there right now—fast!"
She grabbed the driver with one hand.
She grabbed the truck with the other hand.
Zoom! Roxy shot through the sky!
The driver smiled. "Wow!"
As she flew over the city, Roxy looked down.
She saw the Mighty Man actor.
He was taking a selfie with someone.
"Whew," Roxy thought.
"He looks fine now. People don't stay zombies forever!"
As the kids ate lunch in the cafeteria, a man walked in.
He carried a stack of boxes.
"My name is Pete Le Sweet," he said.
"I have free donuts for everyone!"
Everyone clapped and cheered.
Le Sweet held up a donut. "Who wants the first one?"
"Me!" Jack ran over.
Le Sweet handed him the donut.
Suddenly the cafeteria doors flew open.
"Don't eat that!" Roxy shouted.
Jack jumped.
The donut flew out of his hand.
It went up in the air . . . and landed right in Le Sweet's mouth!
"Gulp! Grargh!"
Detective Smith rushed in.
Roxy smiled. "You can take this zombie to jail, Detective!"
The driver stepped forward. "Who wants cookies?"
Everyone cheered.
"You missed Rocket Girl!" Mara said to Roxy during recess.
"Oh, that's too bad," Roxy said.
Terrell gave Roxy a suspicious look.
"You always miss Rocket Girl. I wonder why."
"Uh . . ." Roxy didn't know what to say.
"You missed something else too!" Jack said suddenly.
"A weird guy ate a donut and turned into a zombie!"
Roxy laughed.
But Terrell still had that suspicious look on his face.
