Cuteness and Stupidity
Chapter 1
It was still a cold and windy day in Spookstown. The zombies were doing some spring
cleaning around the castle. So were the witches and warlocks.
As for Ratchet and Lawrence, they were in their room just watching television and relaxing.
"Ah, nothing is better than to have at least one day off without any missions," said Lawrence.
"Don't you think so, Ratchet?"
"Yep," said Ratchet, stretching out his arms. "Just one whole day with nothing to do but sit
down and relax."
Just as the two imps were about to sleep, a voice called out, "Ratchet, Lawrence! I have a
job for you to do!"
The two imps whined and complained.
"Aw, man," said Ratchet. "Just as we were about to have our day off."
"Why does Master Venom have to be so bossy?" asked Lawrence.
"I heard that," said Venom's voice over the intercom. "Come into my lab and I'll tell you
what to do." Ratchet and Lawrence got up while grunting and walked to Venom's lab.
When they entered inside, they saw their master sitting in a chair while wearing his hooded
cape.
Lawrence shrugged. "What's the assignment, Master Venom?"
"I would like you to spy on Salley and find out what she's up to."
Ratchet's jaw dropped. "That's it?! You want us to spy on the girl?! Why can't you just use
your powers to do that?"
"Because I need to save some of my energy for when I really need it." Venom got up from
his chair. "And since you boys never got a chance to do a job that involves Salley, I decided to do that now."
Ratchet and Lawrence shrugged because all they wanted to do was relax.
"Boys!" said Venom in a stern voice. "Enough of your useless complaining. Now, go do
your job or else you'll be punished dearly. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Master Venom," said Ratchet and Lawrence at the same time. They both left and
headed to find Salley.
Meanwhile, Salley was over at Erin's house, having cookies and tea. She thought that they
were both delicious.
"This is really good, Erin," said Salley, taking a sip of tea.
Erin smiled. "Thank you, Salley. Mother taught me how to do it. Cream made the cookies."
"Well, I really like them." Salley ate the rest of the cookie. "I'm glad that you invited me to
your house for a sleepover."
"So am I."
While the two girls were having their conversation, two little imps were watching them from
outside. They were on top of the roof, hanging upside-down and looking out the window. They both got back up
after a few seconds.
"Okay," said Lawrence, "now we know what they're doing."
"Yep," said Ratchet, "they're having a sleepover."
"Right and now that we know, we can finally go back home."
"I hope Venom'll let us have the rest of the day off."
"Well, don't get your hopes up too high, Ratchet. You know how strict he is."
"I know. I'll call him now." Ratchet tried to find his cell phone, but couldn't. "Where's my
cell phone?" Then, he finally remembered. "Oh crude! I dropped it in the bushes when I was trying to climb up
here."
Lawrence's jaw dropped. "Ratchet, you didn't even bother to pick it up?!"
"Just help me get it."
At the other side of the house, a little rabbit-girl was playing in the yard with her little chao
friend. They were chasing the butterflies and smelling the beautiful flowers.
The girl laughed. "Everything is so beautiful here. Right, Cheese?"
"Chao, chao! (that's Cheese's language for 'Right, Cream')," said Cheese. Just then, the little
chao spotted a butterfly and tried to catch it. It was heading for the other side of the house.
Cream followed them. "Cheese, come back here!"
Meanwhile, Lawrence's feet were clawed to the roof and held Ratchet's arm while the blue
imp was trying to get his cell phone.
"Did you get your stupid phone yet?" asked Lawrence, struggling to hold on to Ratchet.
"Not yet," replied Ratchet, stretching out his hand to get the phone. "Lower me a little more."
Lawrence shrugged and lowered him more. Ratchet was very close to the phone.
"Almost…" Ratchet grabbed the phone. "…got it." Then he spotted a chao and a rabbit-girl
coming towards him and Lawrence and they accidentally fell into the bushes.
The rabbit-girl saw this and ran to them. She picked them up and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Put us down, you little brat," said Lawrence, harshly.
The girl dropped them. "I'm sorry, sir. I was trying to help you and your friend."
Lawrence dusted himself off. "Well, we don't need any help from little girls like you."
The chao was angry. "Chao! Chao, chao, chao, chao! Chao, chao, chao, chao, chao, chao!
(Hey! Don't yell at Cream! She was trying to help you!)"
Lawrence glared at the chao. "Don't get involved, you runt! Besides, it was Ratchet's fault
that we fell."
Ratchet faced Lawrence. "My fault?! You probably slipped off the roof and let me go!"
Lawrence shrugged. "Let's just get out of here." Ratchet and Lawrence ran away from the
rabbit and chao and hid at the other side of the house.
The rabbit was confused. "Who were those strange creatures?"
"Chao, chao, chao. (I don't know.)," said the chao.
"Oh well. Let's go back inside." The rabbit and chao went inside the house.
Meanwhile, Lawrence was calling Venom on Ratchet's cell phone. "...We'll tell you
everything about it when we get back. See you there." Lawrence hung up the phone, gave it to Ratchet, and they
walked all the way back to Venom's castle.
For some odd reason, though, Ratchet couldn't get the rabbit-girl out of his mind. "I wish I
knew who she was."
