This is my attempt at telling the "Noodle Incident" which Bill Watterson refers to in "Calvin and Hobbes".

CHAPTER 3-The caf

"Spaceman Spiff is being carried off to the mess hall where all the prisoners will be forced to eat the putrid pasta he is hiding in." commented Calvin as the dish as carried to the caf table. As the dish was set down, Calvin thought, "The time has come! Spiff must act now if he wants to save the prisoners. This may mean his death but if he can save the others, he'll do it!" With that, Calvin stood up, flinging pasta everywhere.

Suzie was in line for the macaroni and cheese. She was hoping Calvin wouldn't show up and make some gross comment that would make her loose her appetite. She could already imagine it: "Hey Suzie, did you know they make macaronis from dead dog guts? And the cheese is in fact melted plastic?" Ugh! Suzie was wondering where Calvin was. He had not come back to class and she had the feeling he was up to something. Last time, he disappeared from class; he came back as Stupendous Man. And when he returned as himself, he had the nerve of saying it hadn't been him in the costume! Just then, she heard kids screaming ahead of her, as noodles flew above her head. Instinctively, she ducked under a table.

When Calvin leapt out of the pasta, Moe was just about to help himself. The pasta went all over him. When he finally say who had thrown the pasta at him, he said, "That's it Twinkie! You're dead." With that, he brought his massive fist down on Calvin but the smaller boy dodged and Moe hit the dish of pasta, which sent it flying over all the students. All the pasta fell out and rare were those who escaped clean.

Calvin darted from the caf and into the washroom. "Spiff saves the day! The pasta is inedible and the prisoners are saved! He waited until the end of lunch bell rang before returning to his classroom. As soon as he came in though, he could see he was in BIG trouble. For one thing, no students were in the classroom, only the principal, Miss. Wormwood, and...his mom. "Uh-ho." he thought.
