    Lily was observing her friends during lunchtime. She noticed a strange phenomenon – her friends moaning randomly and clutching their belly buttons.

    Suddenly, she saw it. A Belly Button Worm wormed into one of her friends' belly button. It was a sight that filled her with a mixture of fascination and horror.

    Lily was intrigued by this creature. She decided to investigate further, hoping to find a solution to this strange problem.

    She spent hours researching, trying to understand the creature's biology and why it only targeted girls with exposed belly buttons.

    Lily observed the worm's behavior closely. She noticed how it would leave a girl if another with an exposed belly button stood close.

    She also observed that the worm never returned to a belly button it had previously inhabited. This information gave her an idea.

    After another night of research, Lily finally found a potential solution. She was excited and couldn't wait to test it out.

    Lily explained her plan to her friends. It was a simple plan, but it required everyone's cooperation.

    They all stood in a line, their belly buttons exposed. The worm moved from one girl to the next, just as Lily had predicted.

    The worm finally reached the last girl. According to Lily's plan, there was no other girl for the worm to move to. It had no choice but to leave.

    The worm slithered away, disappearing into the grass. The girls cheered, their laughter echoing through the schoolyard.
