The Calvin and Hobbes Show
Episode 1
Treasure Seekers
Summary:After crashing on another wagon ride,Calvin and Hobbes discover a treasure map and venture off as another get rich quick scheme.
A young six year old boy who went by the name of Calvin was in bed one June morning.
All of a sudden,he bolted up,and looked at his alarm clock.
"Yes!" Calvin shouted. "6:23! A new record!"
Hobbes,Calvin's best friend and roommate,was woken up by all this.
"Calvin,pipe down." Yawned Hobbes. "I'm trying to sleep."
"There will be time for sleep later. Right now,we need to go on a wagon ride!" said Calvin,as he started to drag his friend out of bed.
Hobbes tried desperately to climb back on the bed,not wanting to go on a wagon ride at all.
"That's the last thing I need. Every time we go on a wagon ride,we crash."
Calvin thought about that. He remembered the time where he landed in some pricker bushes. Or the time of the Dinner Flight.
Calvin then raised his right hand.
"OK,Hobbes. I promise I will not crash this time." Calvin swore. "I promise."
"OK" Hobbes said.
"But first" Calvin said. "We must go downstairs and eat Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs until our hearts explode." He paused. "Also watch Netflix until our eyes pop out."
"Why? What day is it?" Hobbes asked.
"IT'S SATURDAY!" Calvin yelled,running down the stairs at top speed.
Hobbes sighed,and decided to follow.
As Calvin ran downstairs,he saw his dad fixing his usual Saturday morning breakfast of oatmeal and dry prunes.
"Oh,hi,Dad." Said Calvin.
looked up and saw Calvin.
"Hi Calvin. Where have you been?" He asked. "I was up since six building tons and tons and TONS of character. You should do that more often,or you'll be pumping gas for the rest of your life."
Calvin groaned. He hated the building character lectures. was a real character fanatic,and was easily seen riding a bike at six in the morning and eating oatmeal and dry prunes.
"Stop being dramatic,Dad. I like my way of living. You like yours. So shut up."
was unoffended,because Calvin hated to build character. However,he never stopped trying.
Calvin poured Chocolate Milk over his Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs and dumped a cup of sugar on top. He then rushed to his Xbox One and switched to Netflix as Hobbes came down the stairs. Calvin selected Twilight Zone.
Hobbes was confused. "Why Twilight Zone instead of Power Rangers?"
"The fight scenes are so fake." Said Calvin.
"Ah."
Noon arrived,with yelling at them to turn it off,so they got the wagon out of the garage and pushed it the the top of Mount Doom.
Soon enough,they arrived at the top of the hill and proceeded to ride. Calvin was whooping and hollering,and Hobbes was screaming the whole way.
Calvin glared at him.
"CLIFF!" Yelled Hobbes.
Calvin took a heavy swerve.
However,they flew off the cliff but landed safely.
The wagon rolled to a cave and stopped.
Calvin was excited.
"A cave! Let's explore it!" Said Calvin.
"Let's not." Groaned Hobbes,but Calvin was already running into the cave.
"Great! Let's go!"
Hobbes sighed,and decided to follow.
As soon as Hobbes caught up with him,Calvin was exploring.
"Hobbes,do you remember when you said there weren't any caves around here when I wanted to go spelunking? There is a cave. Shame on you."
"Well,that was us against the world." Hobbes replied.
Calvin was amazed.
He looked around,and realized something.
"Man,this is cool! A cave all to ourselves! We should camp here." Said Calvin.
"You hate camping." Hobbes pointed out.
"I know." Said Calvin. He hated going camping with his dad. "But this is different. This is only a quarter mile from the house."
"Good point."
As they explored more,Calvin noticed a piece of folded up paper with a bow.
He picked it up and read the tag.
It said "To Anna Grayson".
Calvin examined it.
The paper looked very ancient,from probably the 1980's.
But Calvin was very confused by who Anna Grayson was.
"Anna Grayson? Who's that?" He asked.
"I don't know."
"This piece of paper." Calvin said. "Let's unwrap it."
"I don't think we should,Calvin. It's someone else's..." Hobbes warned,but Calvin was already unwrapping it.
When he finished unfolding it,the paper was a treasure map.
"Whoa!" Said Calvin. "It's a treasure map!"
"A treasure map?"
"A treasure map!"
Hobbes grabbed the paper and examined it.
"This probably looks like it's fake and made by high school kids from Lincoln High School." He observed.
"Nonsense!" Said Calvin. He was eager to find a treasure. "It's a treasure map! Which means...there's a treasure somewhere! Let's find it!
"Let's not. We should probably leave this here."
"No. If there's a treasure somewhere,this means we're gonna be millionaires!" Said Calvin. "We'll move out of this god-forsaken dump and buy an apartment!"
"I can imagine it now!" Hobbes was excited too.
"I can't forget a car." Realized Calvin. "Maybe a Bugatti."
Hobbes thought about this. "Calvin,Bugattis are 2.5 million dollars."
"True." Said Calvin. "But if we find that treasure,we'll buy that along with a mansion!"
"Now you're talking." Said Hobbes. "Let's get moving!"
Their treasure hunt began. After raiding the garage for a shovel,they started roaming the forest. Once they approached the river,Calvin tripped on a rock. He fell in the river. Hobbes did some quick thinking and fished him out. He then chopped down a tree and it fell over the river. They crossed and continued.
Calvin was carrying the shovel. Hobbes followed. Hobbes was unsure of something.
"Calvin,are you sure this is the right way?" He asked.
"Yes. We crossed that river,headed north,and came to the spot where the X is."
"Did you say this spot is the X?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Calvin,the X on a treasure map means the treasure is buried here."
"Well,great!" Said Calvin. "Hand me the shovel."
"You have the shovel" Hobbes said.
Calvin rolled his eyes. He started to dig. Hobbes leaned against a tree. Two minutes later,Calvin dug up a treasure chest.
"HOBBES! HOBBES!" He yelled. "WE FOUND THE TREASURE!"
"Calvin,no need to shout."
Calvin quickly opened it up,and tore all the tissue paper out.
Once he pulled out the main prize,he found out it was...
"SEASON TICKETS TO THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS! NO WAY! THIS IS AWESOME! LET"S SHOW MOM!"
Calvin and Hobbes rushed to the wagon,and jumped in. They rode the wagon with a hill that lead into their backyard. Once there,they ran inside to see cooking dinner.
She looked down.
"Calvin,where have you been? Dinner is almost ready."
"Mom,Hobbes and I have made the greatest discovery of all."
"What now,Calvin?" asked. She wasn't really interested in her son's stories. They often got him into trouble or people thought he was insane.
Calvin started to tell about the treasure hunt.
"Hobbes and I decided to go on a wagon ride and we landed in front of a cave. We explored the cave and found a treasure map,ventured through the woods,found a treasure chest,opened it,and found season tickets to the Patriots!"
That made drop the wooden spoon into the meal she was preparing.
"You're kidding."
"Nope." Said Calvin. He was dead serious.
"That treasure map was something me and my friends did back in our high school glory days. I was captain of the cheer squad and was voted most popular. My friends and I decided to do a treasure project. One of my friends buried the treasure before she moved away. She left me a treasure map,and me and the others tried to find it. We never did. Then we gave up and separated in our college years." told Calvin.
"So you're Anna Grayson?"
"Yup."
Calvin was shocked. He had been trying to figure out his mother's first name for six years and he never did.
"Surprising." Said Calvin. "So,can we go to the next Patriots home game?"
shook her head. "Fraid not,kiddo. Those tickets are from 1984."
"Dang it!" Said Calvin. "The treasure hunt was a waste."
Right then, came in and kissed on the cheek.
"Hi honey. Hi,Calvin."
"Hey,Dad."
"Alright,what's for dinner,Anna?" asked. He was really hungry.
"Eggplant Casserole,Tom."
Eggplant casserole was 's specialty dinner. Calvin hated it,but he had to eat it.
"Eggplant casserole again?" Groaned Calvin.
"Indeed." Said . "Now wash up."
After dinner and TV,Calvin and Hobbes were in bed.
"Good day,huh?" Asked Calvin.
"Yeah."
"The treasure hunt was a bust,huh?"
"No,we got a good adventure out of it." Said Hobbes.
"Agreed." Said Calvin. "Now let's get some sleep."
And they drifted off into their little dream world of sleep
