Author's note: I combined chapters, added a bunch of stuff and changed a
lot too. So for all of you who remember reading this a loooonnnnggggg time
ago, I would recommend reading it again. And always, if you like it,
review it please. I would love to hear what I could work on. Flames are
not accepted.

My Idea for a Calvin & Hobbes Show:
With Rosalyn for the Weekend (The Horror!)
ACT 1
Calvin's Mom: Calvin, time to take a bath. Calvin? CALVIN!!! Where are you?
(Cut to Calvin hiding in the empty bathtub)
Calvin: Hehe..
Calvin's Mom: (off-screen) Calvin! If you don't come out in 5 seconds, we'll leave you when we go camping tomorrow.
Calvin (To himself): Still not coming. Why would I want to go camping on that stupid, forbidden rock?
Calvin's Mom: (still off-screen) That's it, you aren't going camping.
Calvin: YEA!!!!!! Oops.
(Cut to Mom running up the stairs and into the bathroom)
Calvin's Mom: There you are! (Pan to the empty bathtub) Grrrr..Calvin! Where are you?
Calvin: (off-screen) Hehehe!
Calvin's Mom: (opens up the cupboard and sees Calvin all hunched up in a little ball)
Calvin: (gives a weak wave) Uh, hi Mom.
(Cut to Calvin in the filled bathtub with bubbles all around him)
Calvin: Hobbes, come here!
Hobbes (Arrives with nose buried in a comic book) : I'm coming, I'm coming. Did you know that in the latest issue of Captain....
Calvin (Interrupts Hobbes): Don't tell me!!! I called you so I could tell you that we aren't going camping tomorrow!!
Hobbes: Your Mom and Dad are canceling the trip?
Calvin: No. It's even better. They're leaving us behind! And you know what that means....
Hobbes: Staying up late!
Calvin: Renting a VCR and Movies!
Hobbes: Eating all the cookies we want!
(Cut to Calvin's Mom and Dad talking in the living room)
Calvin's Mom: So it's all set, Rosalyn will come baby-sit for the weekend while we go camping.
Calvin's Dad: Calvin doesn't like Rosalyn though.
Calvin's Mom: She was the only person I could find who would even think about watching Calvin for a whole weekend. Besides, after the trouble Calvin gave me this afternoon with his bath, I don't care.
Calvin's Dad: I told you we should've gotten a nice rat. It probably would behave more than Calvin.
Calvin's Mom: Dear, you don't mean-well, you have a point.
ACT 2 (The next morning)
(Cut to Calvin and Hobbes jumping on their bed)
Calvin (Chants): We get to stay home all (oof) by ourselves!
Hobbes (Also Chants): Where we can stay (oof) up late, and eat all the tuna we want.
Calvin: Huh?
Hobbes: A tiger can dream can't he?
Calvin: What's that car that's pulling into the driveway?
Calvin's Mom (Looks into room): Calvin, I forgot to tell you, Rosalyn is going to baby-sit you during the weekend.
Calvin: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Calvin's Mom (plugs her ears): Gosh Calvin. If you're going to scream like that, do it in a when I'm not in this room.
(There is a knock at the door. Cut to Calvin's Mom opening the door)
Calvin's Mom: Hello Rosalyn. Calvin will be good during the weekend, I promise.
Rosalyn: Even so, I would like a $20 advance, please.
Calvin's Dad: 20..dollars...... (Faints)
Calvin's Mom: (drags the limp body of Calvin's Dad out of the room) Uh, I'll be back in a minute.
(Cut to Calvin's Mom in the kitchen taking money out of her purse. Calvin walks up)
Calvin: Mom! You can't leave me with Rosalyn for a weekend. She'll kill me.
Calvin's Mom: No, she won't. Don't be silly.
Calvin: Then can I go camping with you?
Calvin's Mom: No. I told you that if I had to hunt you down for a bath, then you wouldn't go camping. Plus, we've already hired Rosalyn.
Calvin: Then say good-bye, because when you come back, I might just be a few bleached bones in my room. You'll see them and say, "Why did such a great, noble, loving, caring, son like Calvin--
Calvin's Mom: Hmmm. Just be on your best behavior and you won't have a problem. Bye.
Calvin: Bye. You've been an okay Mom, I guess..well, on second thought--.
(Calvin's Mom shuts the door and Calvin is left with Rosalyn)
Rosalyn: Now look, you be good and I won't have to do anything drastic, like tying you up in a chair.
Calvin: You wouldn't dare!
Rosalyn: Ok, Calvin. Listen, you just do what I say and...
Calvin: Never! I shall never give in alien scum! (holds up rubber band in fire mode) You shall have ten seconds to repents of all the torturing you have given to innocent souls like me..and give me lots of cookies. Ten..nine--
Rosalyn: Listen, you have til the count of ten to take that back, put away that rubber band and to get your coat.
Calvin: What? Where are we going? I won't go at all! It's probably back to your home planet.
Rosalyn: Fine, I suppose I'll just have to go to the natural history museum and see those dinosaurs all by myself. (starts walking toward the door)
Calvin: Wait! Never mind!
Rosalyn: Ok, get on your coat and come on.
(Cut to Calvin in room, getting on coat)
Calvin: Hobbes, we're going to see dinosaurs!
Hobbes: Don't tell me, we're going in that time machine again.
Calvin: No, we're going to the natural history museum!
Hobbes: OH great, I'll end up going and have you get in trouble by going around the museum biting people. No way. I'm not going.
Calvin: Fine, stay here and get all bored. Please will you come?
Hobbes: No!
Calvin: Fine! See ya!
(Cut to Calvin and Rosalyn walking out of the house. Rosalyn locks the door and starts walking down the driveway)
Calvin: Rosalyn? Can I drive the car? My Mom and Dad always let me.
Rosalyn: No, we are going on the bus.
Calvin: NNOOOO! Not the school bus
Rosalyn: Don't be silly. We're going on the metro bus.
Calvin: Wait a minute. I've never been on a metro bus. I wonder what it will be like. I wonder if they'll let me drive. (starts mumbling to himself about how neat it will be)
(Calvin and Rosalyn get on the bus)
(Cut to Calvin and Rosalyn getting off the bus in front of the NHM (natural history museum))
Calvin: That was just like a school bus!!!! I'm going to sue them.
Rosalyn: Look Calvin, here we are!
Calvin: Yea!!!!
Rosalyn: Don't cause any trouble!!
Act 3 - (The Natural History Museum)
(Cut to them looking at dinosaurs)
Calvin: GRRR!!!
Rosalyn: Calvin? Calvin, what are you doing? Calvin, come back here!!!
(Calvin runs off, roaring)
Rosalyn: Calvin!!!
Calvin: ROOOOAARRRR!!!!!!!!!!
(a museum worker walks up)
Museum Worker: Please young man, do not make such a loud noise.
Calvin: ROOARR!!!!! (chomps on the museum worker)
Museum Worker: (holds leg) Oww...young man!
(Calvin runs off).
