It was the early day in Retroville. Today a certain boy genius was down in his lab working. Jimmy stood in front of his workbench making the final adjustments to a baseball bat he had been working on. Jimmy twisted and turned the screwdriver he held in his hand.
Once he was done he pressed a button, closed a little panel on the bat and grinned. Penelope gave her brother a thumb up. With that the two wasted no time setting up things for a practice game. Penelope got into a position six feet away from her brother with a baseball mitt. She patted the mitt ready to play.
Goddard stood in a position with a ball in his mouth ready to throw it on Jimmy's command. Jimmy stood in front of a plate with the bat. He tapped the plate then raised the bat. "Okay Goddard right over the plate, boy." Jimmy told the mechanical canine. Goddard spun his head around before releasing the ball.
The ball flew through the air wildly towards Jimmy. A tiny satellite popped out of the top of the bat. Jimmy swung the bat at the ball, but he missed. The bat however began to jerk and tried to move in the direction of the baseball. Jimmy gripped the bat tightly to keep it from flying out of his hands.
"Ah!" Jimmy cried out as the bat jerked. The next thing Jimmy was being dragged across the lab by the now out of control bat. Penelope's face paled as she watched this. "Ga-hey! Aaheey!" Jimmy shouted as he was jerked around. Jimmy moved towards Penelope as the bat continued to chase the ball.
Penelope quickly moved out of the way before Jimmy could crash into her. Jimmy thinking fast let go of the bat and ran. Not long after letting go the bat crashed into the wall, went flying and slammed into the workbench before falling to the floor. Jimmy walked up to his invention picking it up. Jimmy frowned noticing it was now bent out of shape from the collision.
"Ah gas planet! It still doesn't work right." Jimmy said frustrated. Penelope walked up to her twin. She opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Carl who leaned in from a doorway behind the twins with a glass beaker in hand. "Anything I can do to help Jimmy?" Carl asked. The twins turned their attention to Carl, but before Jimmy could answer Carl accidently dropped the beaker breaking it.
Penelope winced a little. "I'm gonna go get the broom." Penelope told the two boys as she began walking off to a different part of the lab. "Ah no thanks Carl I'll be done in a bit. Just make yourself at home and don't touch anything." said Jimmy. "Oh, okay Jimmy I wont touch anything." Carl replied.
Carl pulled out his inhaler, pressed the button and breathed in his medicine. "I'll just be over here not touching anything." Carl added as he walked away. Jimmy turned his attention towards the baseball bat and immediately got to work on it. "Jimmy do you have a tissue because I'm- I-I'm gonna achoo!" Carl started to ask, but was cut of when he suddenly sneezed. "Oh, never mind." said Carl.
Jimmy made a disgusted face, but continued to fiddle with the bat. Penelope came back with a broom and dust pan in hand. She set the dust pan down and began sweeping up the glass. As Jimmy worked on the bat the little dish on top jerked slightly every time he twisted the screwdriver. "Maybe it's the triangulation sensors... w-what do you think Goddard?" Jimmy asked turning his head to the robot dog.
"Seems logical captain." Goddard replied. Jimmy thought he may as well give it a try. Unfortunately the moment the screwdriver touched the bat it started jerking and hitting Jimmy's head. "Ow." Jimmy cried out in pain. The bat stopped jerking.
"How's it going Jim?" Carl asked as he walked up passing Jimmy. "Really great Carl." Jimmy said with a hint of annoyance. "Oh wait here's the problem!" Jimmy cried in realization. He twisted and turned the screwdriver. Penelope who had just finished sweeping up the broken glass walked over to a trash can dumping the shards into it.
As Penelope turned to go put the broom and dust pan back she saw something that made her drop the broom. There were two Carl's. Penelope shook her head only to realize her eyes were correct. She glanced over in the direction Carl and his clone came from. One of Jimmy's machines had been activated his cloning machine to be exact.
There were more clones stepping out of the machine following after each other. "Jimmy is baseball really America's past time?" Carl 2 asked as he walked by. "Yeah I guess so Carl." said Jimmy not noticing what was happening. Goddard's back opened up revealing a robotic arm which extended and handed Jimmy a wrench. "Why not air guitar?" Carl 3 asked as he passed by.
"Go figure." said Jimmy. "Uh Jimmy! Jimmy!" Penelope cried trying to get her brothers attention. "Or pick up sticks?" Carl 4 asked stopping for moment. "I dunno." Jimmy replied. Carl 5 walked up and stood next to Carl 4.
"Hehe yeah making spit bubbles is kinda fun." said Carl 5. The two clones walked away. "Mm-hm." said Jimmy. Jimmy glanced at the two for a moment then stopped what he was doing. Jimmy realizing what was happening turned to look at Carl and his clones.
"Carl have you been messing with the cloning machine again?" Jimmy demanded. "No not me nu-uh you got the wrong guys." Carl and his clones said in unison. "I heard of seeing double, but this is just ridiculous." Penelope told her brother. The twins both shook their heads. There was another mess that needed cleaning up and it wasn't broken glass.
Well how was it? R&R. Tips on what I can do to improve welcome. No flamers please.
