Chapter 6

Later that afternoon, Brain goes home still hurt and upset by what Buster said to him and Buster goes home still angry at Brain. When Brain goes into his house, his parents see him.

Mrs. Powers asks Brain, "How was school, Alan?"

Brain stops and looks at his parents with a sad face.

Mr. Powers asks, "Alan, what's wrong?"

Brain sighs and looks down with a frown saying, "I'd rather not talk about it."

Then he walks to his room. His parents look at each other.

Meanwhile after Buster heads inside his condo, Bitzi asks "How was your day, Sweetie?"

Buster stops and shows a glare to his mother. The glare isn't directed toward her, as he's not mad at her.

"Horrible!" he answers.

And he angrily walks up to his room and shuts his door. Bitzi wonders what's wrong with Buster.

That night, Brain is asleep in his bed and has a glass of water next to him. He then starts dreaming he's at the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Worldwide Academy of Mathematics he fantasized about earlier.

He's standing behind the podium on stage next to the old professor, saying to him, "Thank you Professor! But all my awards mean nothing compared to my greatest accomplishment: My pupil, Buster Baxter.

But instead of a kind, formally dressed little rabbit, Buster is a giant, hideous, angry, roaring monster rabbit, still white though. And Buster is wearing his usual clothes, only he mostly outgrew them and they're torn at the bottoms. Robocount, the robot, is standing next to Buster, who is bigger and stronger than the robot. The audience gasps.

Undaunted, Brain walks up to Buster and says, "Alright Buster, I'd like you to calculate…"

But giant monster Buster, talking in a hideously deep voice, interrupts Brain saying "Calculate? Buster no calculate! Buster no like numbers!"

Then he turns and lifts up Robocount and as Brain drops his award on the floor as he sees Buster getting ready to wreak havoc. Buster then tosses, or rather, hurls Robocount toward the audience as Brain watches and the audience screams.

Is it over yet? Not quite. Buster then stumps over to Brain looking down at him. Brain's mouth is still hanging wide open.

"Brain next!" says Monster Buster.

"No," says Brain. "Buster, please. I'm begging you."

Brain then bows his head, puts his hands on the back of his bowed head, closes his eyes and says in a higher, almost girly voice, "Don't hurt me!"

"Too late!" says the Monster Buster. "Brain terrible tutor!"

And Buster bends down and picks Brain up with one hand and Brain opens his eyes as the Buster-monstrosity holds Brain over his head with both of his hands.

"Buster, please no!" says Brain. "I'm sorry! In fact, I'm sorry I dumped water on you!"

Then Brain closes his eyes again and screams "HELLLLLP!"

Monster Buster then hurls Brain over the audience and Brain is screaming as he heads for his doom.

When the dream ends, Brain wakes up, opens his eyes, quickly sits up and briefly screams, "Ahh!"

Brain then asks himself out loud, "What have I done?"

Then he grabs the glass of water next to his bed and poors it on himself, afterwards letting out an "uhh!"

Then a couple seconds later, he says to himself, "This must be how Buster feels."

Is Brain scared of Buster now?

A/N By the way, expect no more drama for the rest of this story.
