Red has a new technique for sliding into the Great Hall's pond and wants Gobo to perform it with her while their friends watch. Instead, Gobo and the others are clamoring to hear Mokey's latest poem. Saddened at the fact that everyone seems to be more interested in Mokey than her, Red goes to see the Trash Heap—who begins composing a poem of her own when Red mentions Mokey's {{poetry}}. This clinches it for Red, who decides that the best idea is to dress, act, talk, and be completely like Mokey.
