Chapter 1:
It was a starry night in Bumblyburg. Two kids were walking home from the movies.
"That movie was awesome!" one of the kids (who were peas) said.
"But bro," Percy Pea told his little brother, "we saw the same dang movie six times already!"
"Was it six? Or was it seven or eight?" his little brother questioned.
Suddenly, they stopped in their tracks. They both noticed a weird object falling from the sky.
"It's just like the movie we just saw!" the little brother panicked. "It's a sign that the world's gonna end! Just like in the movie!"
"Bro!" Percy shook his head disagreeing. "That movie is just a bunch of Hollywood crap! So cut it out!"
"This can't be happening!" his brother said and then he ran into the street... into oncoming traffic. As the small pea was hit by a bus and sailing into the front window of a department store, Percy just said to himself, "Dang! He ain't gonna be walking home from the movies with me in 'Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed.' Nope."
Meanwhile, Larry-Boy was too busy star-gazing on the rooftop of his mansion when Archie his butler called out to him. No, really. He was star-gazing through a crystal ball that he had ordered off of the Internet. (He thought he was psychic, which Archie thought was totally far-fetched.)
"Master Larry!" Archie called. "Excuse me, Master Larry!"
"Yes, Archie?" Larry-Boy answered, but then he accidentally hit Archie with one of his plunger ears, sending the asparagus's head slamming into the crystal ball, knocking him off his feet, and sending him rolling off the rooftop of the mansion. Archie fell face-first onto the ground below.
Larry-Boy noticed the Larry-Signal in the sky and then told Archie who was unconscious on the ground, "No time now, Archie! Duty calls!" And then he was off. Archie was still knocked out cold on the ground.
As Larry-Boy zoomed right past Archie in his LarryMobile, the car had accidentally swiped Archie off the ground, sending his unconscious body headfirst into the secret lair where the superhero had came out of.
On the road, Larry-Boy was watching to see if the falling object from the sky was going to land or not. He wasn't paying any attention to where he was going and ran into a tree. Afterwards, the "Larry-Boy and the Fib from Outer Space" title above him fell onto the LarryMobile with several clanks and bangs.
"Darn it!" Larry-Boy grumbled, banging his head on the steering wheel. "Now I gotta wait until dawn to get this bucket of bolts back to the LarryCave! Maybe the falling object would fall down to earth by the time this dang car is fixed!"
Little did Larry-Boy know that a group of penguins from the Central Park Zoo were on the same case as he was. They were heading for the desert just outside of Bumblyburg.
"Kowalski!" Skipper said to one of the penguins. "Status report on the fallen object!"
"According to my calculations, the object just landed near our destination," Kowalski answered. "To Dr. Blowhole's secret lair!"
"But guys," Private piped up. "If we're going to Dr. Blowhole's lair... then, the lair isn't so secret."
"That's right!" Skipper said. "To Dr. Blowhole's... NOT-SO-SECRET lair then!"
