Chapter 2. The Meeting.
A week had passed since Calvin and Hobbes had spied the moving vans, they checked from time to time trying to get a peek of their new neighbors but they didn't get a good look at them.
Right now they were watching cartoons on TV.
"Look at this Hobbes." Calvin said as a commercial played. "A limited time sale for a cruse, and what does dad do? He takes us the same old boring rock in the middle of nowhere."
"Well to be fair that trip looks expensive even if it's on sale." Hobbes said as the commercial ended.
"Are you defending Dad's Camping trip's?" Calvin asked giving Hobbes an evil eye.
"No, i'm not." Hobbes said quickly looking away.
They continued to watch t.v until Mom came over and made them go outside.
As they walked down the street something came up in Calvin's mind.
"You know we haven't checked on the new neighbors for a while." Calvin said remembering them.
"In fact the only time we've heard from them is from mom and dad when they went there for a greetings party." Hobbes said.
"Oh right, we accidently dumped some of mom's casserole on Rosalyns head."
"You intentionally dumped it on her head, It was no accident."
"Whatever let's just check in on them."
As Calvin and Hobbes walked through the neighborhood, Hobbes noticed something when passing Susie's house.
"Uh Calvin." He said pointing to Susie's house and Calvin saw Susie as well as someone else
It was another girl, with blonde hair, and blue dress, and the two were playing together.
"Hobbes are you seeing what i'm seeing?" Calvin asked as they watched the two play.
"I do." Hobbes said. "But i can probably guess what your thinking?"
"Indeed, GROSS has a new enemy." Calvin said rubbing his hands with a sinister glare, Hobbes knew that face, it meant Calvin was planning something.
"We must have a GROSS meeting immediately."
Calvin and Hobbes began to run to the treehouse.
"Calvin you just got ungrounded, and the first thing you do throw another water balloon at Susie?" Hobbes said as they ran.
"We're not attacking Susie this time." Calvin said as he and Hobbes climbed the tree containing the treehouse. "We're attacking that girl she was playing with. I believe it's time to introduce her to G.R.O.S.S."
After putting their newspaper hats on they began the meeting.
"This emergency meeting G.R.O.S.S, will now be introduced by the dictator for life. Because of the severity of the situation we will not read the report of our last meeting, instead we will get into our situation. First tiger fill it in for me."
Hobbes got a paper out and read it.
"Very well, about half an hour ago our scouts reported a girl playing with the clubs mortal enemy Susie Derkins. As such she is a enemy of this club now, and we must teach her that if you join the enemy of G.R.O.S.S, you're gonna get soaked by a water balloon."
Hobbes nodded.
"Now then, let's show the new girl what we've got."
With that the two left the treehouse and filled up two water balloons, and they ran to the spot where the new girl was playing with Susie.
They waited for Susie to go inside, as they hid in the bushes.
"She should be going in to the house any second now." Calvin said as they watched the two girls play.
Just then Susie got up. "I'm going to get some food for us, I'll be right back."
The blonde haired girl nodded and Susie went inside.
"Ok on three." Calvin whispered as he held the waterballoon in his hand. "One."
Hobbes held his water balloon and got ready to throw it.
"Two"
Calvin got his ready, as the blonde haired girl was still oblivious to them.
"THREE."
Calvin and Hobbes ran and struck the girl with the water balloons.
The girl screamed and ran away.
"YES." Calvin yelled. "YOU'RE IN G.R.O.S.S TERRITORY, AND WARN ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS, THAT I AM COMING FOR YOU."
He and Hobbes laughed. Before hobbes then said "She's gonna tell someone."
"Nah." Calvin said. "She's probably going to be too afraid to tell."
"You know Calvin I think sometimes you get too confident in the success in gross attacks."
Calvin then grabbed hobbes and pulled him to his face. "I am not getting too confident Hobbes all i'm trying to do is keep it in business, and as long as there's enemies, the club's in business."
"If you say so Calvin." Hobbes said. "But remember, someday we may not have any enemies to keep the club running."
"Yeah right." Calvin said as he rolled his eyes.
Later that day Calvin and Hobbes were watching TV, When they heard a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" Calvin said as he got up to answer the door.
Calvin opened the door, and saw a boy who was wearing black shorts and brown shoes, a yellow shirt with a black zigzag going horizontally around the shirt, with a round head.
"Hello." Calvin said smiling innocently.
"I'm presuming this is where you live." The boy said.
"Yep that's me." Calvin said nodding.
"I'm Charlie Brown." The boy said. "And my sister came over here saying that."
He then proceeded to pull out a piece of paper from his pocked.
"A boy with yellow spiky hair, a red shirt, black pants, and holding a tiger threw a water balloon at her."
Charlie Brown put the paper back in his pocket.
"I'm presuming you're that boy."
"No" Calvin said "It wasn't me, it must've been someone else that looked like me."
"Well how do you explain the stuffed tiger?" Charlie Brown asked pointing to Hobbes.
Calvin looked back at Hobbes who was whistling innocently.
"Well whoever did it must have dropped it on my doorstep to frame me."
He looked at Hobbes again, but this time he was glaring at him.
"Well I don't believe anything you said." Charlie Brown said. "You look exactly like what my sister described to me."
Calvin then put his hands up. "Okay Okay I Confess, I was the one who threw a water balloon at your sister." he said
"That's good." Charlie Brown said "Because I don't want you to throw a water balloon at her again."
"Okay" Calvin said.
He then shut the door.
"Well I don't think things can get any worse." Calvin said.
"And three, two, one." Hobbes said to himself
"CALVIN COME IN HERE!" Calvin's mom yelled.
Calvin gulped.
Later that day Calvin and Hobbes were walking down the street.
"Well Hobbes at the rate we're going, we may have to shut down G.R.O.S.S." Calvin said.
"Why's That?" Hobbes asked.
"Our enemies are getting smarter, they are beginning to know our weaknesses. If we don't find someone who doesn't know our weaknesses, we'll have to shut down the club"
Just then Hobbes spotted something.
"Calvin look." Hobbes said.
Calvin turned, and saw Charlie Brown again, except he was with taking with a girl with black hair, a blue dress, and was holding a football.
"Huh maybe we can start adding targets that are affiliated with girls to keep the club in business." Calvin said.
"Let's keep watching and see if that's a possibility." Hobbes said.
The black haired girl put the football on the ground, and she seemed to be talking to Charlie Brown about something, which he seemed to disagree with.
Eventually he walked away reading a piece of paper.
"If that is a love note i'm going to run up to him and tear it up." Calvin said.
Charlie Brown then ran back to the girl with the football. But just when he was about to kick it, the girl pulled it away and he fell on his back.
"Did I just see that?" Calvin said.
"Yes you did." Hobbes replied.
"Hobbes, put that plan of shutting the club down on hold." Calvin said as he and Hobbes ran off.
"Why's that?"
"Because we have a definitive new enemy to the club, and I have a plan for her."
"You're not going to throw a water balloon at her and call it a day are you?"
"No, we're going to beat that girl at her own game."
