"Nico nods as he remembered. "this was weird. One second, she's scratching me, screaming at me. next minute, she's totally cool." "what?" " yeah. once i said forget it, she just laughed." " laughed?'' yeah she cheered right up. even said she was sorry for scratches." 



I think this part is both funny and important. I think this part is funny because the whole book its always  about how Wendy get her way. When it said she freaked out it made sense but when it said she was totally cool and she was happy and ok with the fact she didn't get Nico was surprising/ funny. It was funny because it was totally not like Wendy and it was funny because she seemed so happy she wasn't getting Nico, they way she cheered up was funny.  I also think its kinda important to the book because, Rain is trying to find out who killed Wendy and, is trying to find out if Nico was really the one who killed her and, this really kinda gives a pretty good clue. If she was so happy she didn't get Nico was she up to something? why was she so happy? if she really was as happy as Nico said then it gives us a pretty good clue that Wendy might have been up to something witch is pretty important to the book.
