The trouble started the day Howard came home from school to find the Goon sitting in the kitchen. It was Fifi who called him the Goon.

When Howard pushed Awful into the kitchen and slammed the door after them both, the first person he saw was Fifi, sitting on the edge of a chair, fidgeting nervously with her striped scarf and her striped leg warmers.
