Rat Child had tired thoughts.
Rat Child put on pink pajamas, set the Hoard alarm system, and turned back her camo blanket.
And found no pillow.
Rat Child frowned. Then narrowed eyes. Stars, where Rat Child pillow?!
Giggling. Shush! More giggling. Shush!
Rat Child tracked the giggling.
And found Stars hiding in The Den. With Froggy. And Chicken. And Hippo.
And Rat Child's pillow.
Stars! Give Rat Child pillow!
Stars' eyes were huge and his ears were up in Hero Alarm. Rat Child, how did you find Stars? Stars was quiet! Stars was in Sneaky Stealth Mode! With accompanying sound track!
Rat Child stared at Stars. Then pointed at Hippo. Heard.
Stars shushed Hippo!
Rat Child snorted.
Stars gave Hippo an indignant nose poke. Who let Hippo pass Espionage For Heroes?
Rat Child took pillow. And went back to camo blanket.
Look, is that Dr. Thumbs' pillow?
Giggling. Shush! Giggling. Shush!
Rat Child covered head with camo blanket. Stars!
Pause.
Hippo! Stop giggling so loudly!

The Trials of Properly Equipping A Hero
Rat Child tells him, Heroes need gear.
Rat Child needs gear, he rolls over, Heroes need cheese.
Rat Child pokes him, Heroes fight Evil Squirrels, leap tall buildings, run faster than UPS delivery van thirty minutes before Christmas. Need gear.
The hero gives dramatic sigh. Show Stars the pack.
Rat Child gleefully shows him the pack. Perfectly fitted, aero-dynamic, Evil Squirrel abrasion resistant, and color coordinating with the hero's cape.
He leans forward, sniffing suspiciously. What is inside?
Rat Child positively dances. Standard Hero Victory Kit: cheese, Dr. Thumbs' lucky sock, and Girl America's press picture with autograph. Sidekick Accessory Pack: flashlight, handkerchief, cookies. Rat Child quickly puts it on the hero.
The hero collapses artfully into imitation of roadkill. Too heavy.
Rat Child scowls, suspicious. Gear not too heavy!
Too heavy, groans the hero. Can't carry.
Rat Child and Stars stare at each other.
Rat Child sighs dramatically. How fix?
The hero grins. Stars should eat the cheese.
