Chip woke up with a start, he looked at the clock, it was 8:33, the phone was ringing, it was Ted! "Listen," said Ted "We need to get together again," Chip said "Oh" Ted said "We need to talk about what just happened last night," Chip said "O.K. What time is it on," and Ted said "10:00," Chip said "O.K. Bye," and then he put the phone down.
Chip got up, put on his coat and hat, then he went to the table to get his breakfast. He had Teddocks Acorn Flakes, then he went to the bathroom to get washed and to brush his teeth.
As he left the house he looked at the clock again, it was 9:22, he might as well fly around for a while before he noticed the Empires base, it was being well made, he saw some of his friends going to Teds house, he landed and walked with them.
END CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Notes: This may seem like a lot of unimportant information, but I think it provides a lot of character insight. Chip wears his hat to breakfast, for example.
Another Star Wars reference here with the declaration that the base (that was actually a spaceship) belongs to the 'Empire.' T-Rex must have had an interesting time of it all recently - only a few chapters ago he had been reduced to throwing baby foxes off cliffs, now he's in charge of a powerful organisation.
You would think this would make the T-Rex the more interesting character to write about, but no, we need to know that Chip was brushing his teeth.
