One night, Skel wakes up to music in the quiet house. It is not coming from a room inside. He has no clue where it is playing from.
Skel goes outside and sees the problem. A trio of llamas want to have a party on the farm! They stomp and dance on the grass.
Skel tries to ask the llamas to leave. He does not want them to stomp all over Zom's crops. Will they react to his words?
It seems not. In the morning, the llama drama is even worse. They have asked more friends to come, and now it is chaos!
Skel thinks about why the llamas came. The sweet grass must be why they stay! But Zom is busy at the pig pen. A wild zombie creates a mess as it nips at the pigs.
Skel goes back to the field after lunch. The crops are a giant ruin. Llamas eat all over the field, quiet and happy. 'That is a lot of llamas,' Skel says to himself.
Zom looped leads around three llamas and set off. 'The rest will react and follow the leader,' he said. It worked, and the herd fell into a calm line behind him. Zom grinned, pleased to be a llama person.
The farm was quiet, too quiet. Skel stood by the pond and watched the water move. 'It won't last,' he said. Then a frog made a loud sound nearby. 'See? Even the frog agrees,' Skel said.
The next day, the llamas are back. They push and shove to get back in. A wild riot! This is the best spot they have found, and they will not stay away.
Skel can take no more. He tries to scare the llamas off. Instead, the llamas spit stinky green fluids all over him!
Zom comes out to react to all the noise. He finds Skel covered in stinky spit. Skel has failed. They go inside.
Zom heals Skel with a glowing vial after his llama drama. The llamas might have won this round, but they will not win the war.
