Randall's Adventure of Catching Archie

    As a freshman who desired to be a member of fraternity, Randall Boggs(Randall) was waiting for any chances to prove his greatness. While seeing Archie running out the party room, Randall chased it out of the room immediately. “It is a great chance to show the fraternity how scary I am! And I must seize this chance given by Archie!” Randall thought to himself. Knowing how fast Archie was, he decided to turn to the opposite direction and hide in the corner. When Archie showed up, Randall changed himself into a fifty-mixed color monster and shouted it aloud! Archie got terrified and stood still, and Randall was going to catch it. To Randall’s astonishment, Archie was shocked for only two seconds, and then turned to bite Randall so hard that Randall’s colors kept changing. Randall was left helpless, and Archie kept running and it looked enjoyable.

    Feeling helpless, Randall passed by the breaking the dance club, he decided to join them and acquire additional skills to catch Archie. Actually, Randall was a dexterous lizard, so he learned how to perform a skill called “superman windmill” in a quiet short time. Afterwards, he finally came into Archie in the playground, he showed his new skill with an eye to trapping it in the corner, and it seemed that Randall was going succeed. At the very moment, Archie slid from Randall’s feet and was stolen by someone else. It was too dark to recognize the thief. Randall failed again, wondering why he still did not make despite learning skills. A wave of frustration swept over Randall’s whole body.

    Since Randall was in high school, he had been the first place in the class and had been very proud, rejecting to confide his feelings to others except his fraternal twin sister. Randall recalled a conversation between them, which was to cheer him up when he was flunked before. As a result, he was consoled and was encouraged not to give up and decide to play some tricks by developing his own talents. Family’s warmth inspired Randall to come up with ideas and was ready to accept challenge again.

    Being afraid of being caught by others, Archie rushed into the campus forest, the darkest and the most terrifying place in the university. Randall realized his chance was finally coming because this time the battle would be won based on wisdom rather than physical skill. Randall successfully predicted that there were lots of traps set up in the forest to catch Archie, most of which were set on the ground.  Randall hid in the forest with his color becoming similar to the surroundings and was free of plenty of attacks from others, and then he climbed up the trees and became invisible till Archie was caught by a wooden trap-bucket. Noticing somebody was moving toward Archie, Randall climbed down and rushed to catch the bucket as quickly as he could. Nobody really understood how could the bucket move by itself on the air. It appeared like a ghost in the forest and everybody gave up chasing it. After two times failure, Randall finally caught Archie! Feeling happy, Randall walked out the forest with a bucket of Archie.
