amanda knoll illustrated by howard mcwilliam one night when i reached under the bed for my truck i found this note instead from the office of mr z monsters meet here for final test z my parents were obviously trying to trick me into staying in bed i didn't believe in monsters so i crumpled the paper grabbed my truck and zipped over to my garage i heard some creaking and rumbling but i wasn't scared our house always made noises at night but then a voice under the bed scolded stop that stomach rumbling the child will hear you voices stomach rumbling if this was part of my parents trick it was pretty cool i peered into the inky blackness five pairs of eyes blinked back see now he knows we're here the voice side one of you has broken monster rule number one maintain the element of surprise this is no trick i thought there are monsters under my bed a long-necked yellow monster slid out followed by four little monsters rule number two the yellow one instructed never block the bed all of you scoot over hey i realized that one must be their teacher i sat up straight mesmerized by the monster parade shuffling across my bedroom that's better the teacher monster said access to the bet is clear now who knows rule number three that purple monster teetered on his tiptoes and gurgled get a child into bed that's correct genghis and how would you do that well mr z i would roar my scariest drug all right give it a go genghis took a deep breath opened his mouth and let out a tiny bloop stomach rumbling would have a better chance of getting me into bed than that funny little noise i laughed the child is right said mr z shaking his head that was not sufficiently scary genghis i'm sorry you're not the best monster for this child there was some creaking as genghis slunk beneath the bed before i could investigate where genghis had gone mr z asked now who wants to try to get the child into bed the orange monster looked at the ceiling and the red monster looked at the floor only the green one looked at me first he stared at my toes and started drooling then he took a step toward me and i heard that rumbling noise again i sprang into bed so he couldn't get my feet mr z blinked very unconventional gabe your stomach gurgles seem to be what this child needs what i needed was to make sure this little game monster didn't eat my toes right you three the child is now in bed said mr z as every monster knows the ultimate objective is rule number four who can tell me what that is the orange monster bounced and squeaked oh oh keep the child in bed until it falls asleep correct morgan and how would you accomplish that shadow puppet shadow puppets she squeaked again gabe whistled through his nose and i snickered but mr z said interesting idea try it morgan hopped onto my night table and flailed her arms near my lamp silly shadows blobbed onto the wall and a cloud of fluffy fur tickled my nose huh you morgan stop at once mr z ordered you're supposed to scare him not make him sneeze i'm sorry but you're not a match either morgan's arms flopped to her sides and she scuttled under my bed there was some more creaking and morgan was gone after all that sneezing i really needed a tissue suddenly a huge shadow of uncut claws loomed across my room awesome i thought and kind of scary i froze in place powerful performance gabe said mr z but do either of you see a problem oh i know chirp the red monster that child is out of bed again correct abigail mr z continued and one of you must get him back in let's revisit rule number one maintain the element of surprise all at once poof the monsters vanished then i heard more rumbling were they hiding in my closet making noises to scare me no it was only my stomach grumbling all this excitement was making me hungry i tiptoed past the closet and peeked out the door so far so good no monsters then i stepped over the squeaky stair and sneaked down to the kitchen as i reached into the pantry i heard some chattering behind me i sure hoped it wasn't that tough loving gabe i yanked open the fridge it wasn't gabe it was just the red monster shimmering on the shelf found you i laughed nice try abigail said mr z but this isn't working you're not the right monster for this child but mr z she whined it's not my fault he's not scared of me i'm sorry abigail let's go abigail clomped behind mr z when i heard the creaking i knew she was gone i grabbed some crackers and headed upstairs wondering if gabe was gone too i munched all the way down the hall then went into the bathroom to brush my teeth again when i opened the door a minute later gabe was definitely not gone he was right there and he was huge i charged into my room and slammed the door when i leaped into bed i knew my toes were safe i was surprised to hear breathing under my bed ragged breathing and stomach rumbling hey kid gabe growled good to see ya i pulled my covers up tight now if you don't mind i'd like to start the evening with an ominous puddle a drool i peeked over the edge of the bed green ooh spread soundlessly from underneath then the bed quivered as gabe unfurled his spiked tail wow this looks quite promising mr z noted when i hurt you more creaking i knew mr z was gone i was alone with gabe gabe loomed over my bed and began sharpening his uncut claws on my bedpost how'd you get so big i gasped rule number five my friends he explained people food makes monsters grow so thanks for the crackers got any toes i can munch i scrunched in my feet so gabe couldn't get them this was way better than playing with trucks no toys tonight but you can have this i offered tossing a stuffed monster off the bed gabe go for it his soft comforting snorts filled the room as he snuffled the toy i shivered kid i think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship no other monster can scare me like you i giggled gabe was the monster for me his snorts and oohs were perfect oh i yawned then shivered again i was asleep in no time he may have had to go through a few different monsters but ethan finally found the perfect one in gabe alright let's do some shout outs today i'm sending them out to river in
