Calvin was sitting in his cabin. He had been grounded for a number of things. For one, he threw paint all over the side of the ship, giving his parents a rather large bill. He also made a great commotion in the dining room at dinner, when his family was dining next to the captain. This had caused his family to be removed from the dining room. He had taken a plate of coleslaw over the side of the table and it hit the captain. Then, he took some ketchup and pretended he was bleeding by pouring it down his shirt. The captain himself had asked his family to leave. Then, on the way back to the cabin, he took a deck chair and dropped it off of the ship, hitting a passing fishing boat.
"Can I come out now?" Calvin yelled through the door of his cabin, where his parents were sitting outside on deck chairs.
"Calvin, I told you, you aren't allowed out until we land Alexandria, in Egypt!" came his mother's voice outside of the door.
So Calvin had to amuse himself, and Hobbes, who was shut in the room with him. He took the toilet paper, and put it in the toilet, and flushed. He had replaced the rolls three times before a his parents came in, furious.
"Calvin," his dad growled.
"Yes?" Calvin replied, trying to look innocent.
"A passenger from a lower deck just came up to see us," his dad started, "and she said that she saw toilet water and toilet paper come out of the ceiling. Now, how did this happen, Calvin?"
"Gosh Dad! I don't know! Maybe there's a problem with the plumbing!" Calvin said, grinning.
Ten minutes later, Calvin was sitting in the corner.
"It's not fair," Calvin grumbled to Hobbes. "There isn't anything to do on this dumb ship!"
"Well, I wouldn't say that..." said Hobbes, who was staring out the window, into the pool area.
"Oh, sure, Hobbes. You're not following the rules of G.R.O.S.S!" Calvin was talking about their secret club, Get Rid Of Slimey girlS. "It strictly states in the forty third amendment, aricticle 12, section 157, article 12, that if you even LOOK at a girl, you're doing something punishable by removel from the you-know-what you-know-when!"
"First of all, Calvin, how can you remember all of that? 157 sections!?! Secondly, there a girls everywhere!" Hobbes said flatly. The two didn't speak for the rest of the cruise.
After what seemed like an eternity to Calvin, their ship docked in Alexandria, Egypt. Calvin's parents decided it would be fun to go visit some of the pyramids, so they got on an airplane and landed near a pyrimid.
"Now, these pyramids are very old, and they are full of traps, so we do not let anyone in them!" the tour guide told the group in which Calvin was in. This agitated Calvin. He wanted to go inside the pyrimid. "Now, if you'll step over this way, we can see some interesting sand patterns!"
"This isn't fair. Why can't we go into the pyramid!" Calvin complained, as he stayed behind from the group.
"Well, it's safer out here," Hobbes said, starting to go toward the group.
"Let's go in! Nobody's looking!" Calvin suggested, and he ran toward the pyramid.
"Calvin! This isn't a good idea!" Hobbes hissed, so they wouldn't attract attention.
"Hmm... maybe you're right. C'mon, let's go-OOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Calvin had stepped on a secret switch, and the ground seemed to open up underneath him and Hobbes. They plummeted down the stone tunnel, into the dark abyss.
Calvin landed with a thud, thankfully, on a pile of sand. "Ow..." he said, rubbing his rear. "Hobbes?" Calvin called, hoping to find Hobbes.
"Yeah?" came Hobbes's voice from behind Calvin.
"Are you OK?"
"Yeah. A little sore, but I'm fine," Hobbes said. "Where are we?"
"Probably in some hidden chamber underneath this pyramid," Calvin replied, looking around. It was fortunate for them that Calvin had his transmogrifier gun.
"We should probably transmogrify into birds and fly out of here," Hobbes said, making a grab for the transmogrifier gun.
"Let's explore this pyramid a while!" Calvin said, and he transmogrified the two of them into bats, and they flew through the pyrimid.
There wasn't much in the pyramid, mostly hyroglphics, but Calvin did find a secret chamber which led to a treasure room. Calvin tried to take some, but the floor started to shake when he flew towards it, so he decided not to.
After five minutes of exploring, Calvin decided that there was nothing interesting there, so they flew back to the chamber the entered, and flew up into the daylight. When the transmogrified back, his mom ran up to him.
"Where were you?" she demanded.
"We fell into the pyramid, and explored some, but we decided to come back," Calvin explained.
"Calvin, we turn our back for five minutes, and you go off. Do NOT do that again, do you understand?" his mom said, furious with him.
"Fine, Mom..." Calvin grumbled.
"Can I come out now?" Calvin yelled through the door of his cabin, where his parents were sitting outside on deck chairs.
"Calvin, I told you, you aren't allowed out until we land Alexandria, in Egypt!" came his mother's voice outside of the door.
