Tape Measure Duel

Spotted shiny metal casing on carpet. Silver tongue stuck out from inside. Grimlock smelled a challenge! Bit down on metal tab. Pulled back hard. Whirrrr! Bright yellow strip dragged out. Numbers stamped along sides. Kept pulling, stomping backward with heavy hind legs. Strip grew long, bending like stiff spine. Then teeth slipped. Snap! Yellow strip hissed back inside shell at lightning speed! Loud clatter. Grimlock stood tall, stomping down hard. Good reflex, little box. We fight again later.
