Part 1
River of Slime
It was Halloween morning in town. The sun had just risen and everyone was
getting up. There would be no school today.
Outside the Finster house, a group of road workers were hard at work.
Inside the house, Chuckie and Kimi were having their breakfast with their
parents.
Kimi stood and went over to the cupboard. She opened it and took out a glass.
Then she went over to the sink and turned on the cold water faucet.
She was quite surprised when a fluid red slime came out instead.
Kimi:Dad, I think you'd better call a plumber.
Chas gets up and goes to the sink.
Chas:Yeah, you're right! Well Kira, I don't think we'll be doing the dishes
until this gets fixed.
He goes over to the phone to call the plumber, but he only got this reply.
Voice on phone:We're sorry, we've sent all our men out to work. Many cases of
red water all over town.
Chas hung up.
Chas:You're not going to believe this, but we're not the only house hit by
this perplexing problem. It's all over town!
Kira:Oh goodness gracious!
A little later that morning, the tweenagers met outside on the street.
Chuckie:Did you guys hear the news? Our water has turned red!
Tommy:It's not water Chuckie. It's slime!
Phil licks his lips.
Phil:Sounds tasty!
Kimi:What's causing it?
Tommy:Who knows?
Suddenly, they heard a commotion coming from down the street.
Road Worker:Somebody call the press! We've found something big under the
streets!
The tweenagers heard everything.
Lil:What was that all about?
Tommy:I don't know. But let's go take a closer look!
The tweenagers walk down the street towards where the road workers had been
working. But they had already run off, leaving their equipment, and a hole
in the street behind.
Phil:Oh boy! Really big worms in the sewers!
Tommy:Phil, it couldn't possibly be a big worm who made a hole that big! It
was those workers.
Angelica looks down the hole. Down below, she hears what sounds like the
flowing of a thick liquid.
Angelica:Hey guys, there's something down there! I hear something!
Susie:What is it?
Tommy:Well there's only one way to find out! Somebody has got to go down
there!
The others are shocked.
Chuckie:Are you crazy?
Tommy:Oh come on Chuckie. This could be the start of another one of our great
adventures!
Chuckie:Well, I'm not going down there!
Angelica suddenly attaches a harness and a chain to Chuckie.
Angelica:Zip it! Do something daring for once in your life!
The tweenagers slowly lower Chuckie into the hole.
Chuckie:Ok, the sound is getting gradually louder.
Above the street...
Kimi:What do you see?
Down below...
Chuckie is lowered into the sewers. He notices that the walls are coloured
dark red.
Chuckie:Well, I see red walls, decorative tiling and...
He sees what's down on the floor.
Chuckie:SLIME! IT'S A RIVER OF SLIME!
Above the ground, the tweenagers hear every word.
Dil:What did he say?
Tommy:There's a river of slime down there!
Suddenly, they hear a voice.
Road Worker:Hey, what are you kids doing over there?!
Taken by surprise, the tweenagers release the pulley. Down below the streets,
Chuckie falls into the river of slime. He starts thrashing around.
Chuckie:Help! Help!
The road workers grab the pulley and start cranking, until finally, Chuckie
is pulled out of the hole.
Chuckie's friends gasped when they saw him. He was covered head to toe with
a fluid red slime.
The road workers set Chuckie down on the street and unchained him. Then they
removed the harness.
Kimi:Chuckie, are you alright?
Chuckie:Do I look alright?! Look at me! I'm soaking in this stuff! But what
really makes me mad is the fact that you all dropped me!
Tommy:Sorry Chuckie. Won't happen again.
Chuckie:See, this is why I never want to take part in your stupid adventures!
As of now, I...
But to everyone's shock, Chuckie screams. Then he screams again. And again.
And again. He continues to scream repeatedly.
Lil:What's going on?
Angelica puts her hands over her ears.
Angelica:Will he ever stop?! Make it stop!
Tommy:We'd better get him home!
The tweenagers take Chuckie home.
