Boom!!!! A deafening explosion rocked the lab. Again....

"Oh man not the hot dogs...."

"RED!!! I TOLD YOU TO WATCH THE MICROWAVE!!!!" Apparently Purple was the only one alerted by the eruption, because four neighbors called the cops on him. Man did he have a lot of explaining to do, but with some sweet talkin', he was able to get out of that mess. Red also had to clean up the mess that the hot dogs made , and let me tell you something, it wasn't pretty. Poor Red, he never got to eat those hot dogs. Just because he leave 'em in the microwave too long. Who would have known that could be the problem! Maybe it was Purple's fault for wanting the hot dogs in the first place. Well, maybe some things are better not known....

AT THE STORE.....

Inside the store Red found the hot dogs (after a long search), and went to the cash register. However, Bob, the cash register person thingie, said, "That will be $3.02, sir"

"What?!?!"

"3 dollars and 2 cents," Bob said

"What are you talking about?!?!"

"The money to pay for the hot dogs."

"What is this 'money'?!?!"

"You use it to pay for stuff, man, where have you been.... another planet?!?!"

"Yeah, but I bet you'll never guess which oooonnnee"

"Sir just pay for the hot dogs."

"How do you get this 'money'?!?!"

"Well, you can try the ATM machine thingie over there." As he floated over to the ATM machine everyone stared, but why, why did they stare?!?! But because of Red's bad English, he couldn't find out how to get this 'money'. He then saw that he needed a special card thingie to access the ATM machine. Red floated over to the bank counter for a card.

"You'll need to apply for one, sit" Bob, (yes, another Bob!), the bank guy thingie, said, and handed him an application and a pen. Red stared at the pen for a while,

32 MINUTES LATER....

and then proceeded to fill out the application:

Name: Red

Age: 562

Address: Planet Earth

Social Security #: 1

As Bob looked over the application, he muttered something under his breath that sounded like, "I should get paid more for this," sighed and said, "Here's your ATM card, sir."

"Thank you." Red then floated to the ATM machine and withdrew 3 dollars and 2 cents. Then he floated back to the cash register thingie to buy the hot dogs and he then floated back to the home base.

"Finally you're back, Red. What took you so long?!?!"

"Lemme tell you, you don't want to know."

"OK.... well I went to the neighbor's house across the street and had some hot dogs there." He then wondered why..... (among many other things).

"But, Purple, I just bought some!!!!"

"That's to bad, besides, these were better because they didn't explode!!!" Red then shook his head and floated to the next room muttering, "One time and you're marked for life." What could be done with this money...... find out in "Game Thingie"
