Again, I apologize for the fact that I forgot the duplicates liked being worms. Let's pretend (we all have an imagination, right?) that this duplicate didn't like being a worm anymore. O.K.?

The Clone Wars Part II

Calvin walked home from school the next day. He was exhausted. He had been sent to the principal's office for one puny little joke he'd played on Suzie. He recalled it as he walked.

(Wavy flashback effect)
It was lunchtime. Calvin spotted Suzie Derkins waiting in line for he caf meal.
"Mystery Meat." Calvin read off the menu board, "Sounds weird."
As Suzie sat down, Calvin sidled up to her.
"Hey Suzie," he said, "that looks um, good."
"Go away Calvin!" said Suzie. "I don't want to barf after you say some gross thing."
"No, I won't. Mystery Meat's my favourite." said Calvin. "Hey," he continued, "even wonder where Mystery Meat comes from?"
Suzie knew what was coming, but, in spite of herself she said: "No. Where does Mystery Meat come from?"
"Even wonder where all the road kill on highways goes?" said Calvin.
Suzie took one look at her plate. It did look like squashed up meat. She felt a wave of nausea and ran out the caf to the girl's washroom.
Calvin finished school that day in the principal's office.
(wavy flash forward effect)

Ah, yes. Suzie was the perfect target for Calvin's jokes. As he came up to his house, he tensed. This was the part when Hobbes would jump out at him as soon as he set foot in the door. Calvin s-l-o-w-l-y opened the door and yelled: "I'M HO-OOOME!" Then he braced himself for impact. Nothing.
He walked into the door and shut it. Hobbes was on the other side, smashed into the wall anime style. He fell forwards, leaving an imprint of his body in the plaster.
"So," said Calvin "stood a little too close to the door, eh?"
"Why can't you open the door more slowly?" muttered Hobbes.

Calvin went upstairs, changed out of his school clothes (not that there's much of a difference between those and his regular clothes. He always wears the same thing!), and ran outside to meet Hobbes. Hobbes wasn't outside.
"HO-O-BBES!" called Calvin.
Just then, a water balloon splashed down beside him. Taped to it was a note. He read it.

"Calvin,

You know who this is. I have the Tiger. Bring the duplicator WITH the ethicator to the forest by 6PM or you'll never see "Hobs" again. Do not call the police. You can't find me, you can't catch me.

Signed: Duplicate #5"

"Great!" said Calvin. "He wants the duplicator. Why? Well, I can modify it so it won't work the joke'll be on him!" Calvin set to work.

That evening, he put the box by the woods, like the note instructed, and went home.

The duplicate wandered out of the woods far enough to see Calvin's house. He saw the boy carrying the duplicator near the woods.
"Good, he's following my instructions." thought #5. As soon as Calvin left the yard, the duplicate ran forward and dragged the box deep into the woods.
When he arrived at him makeshift shelter, he looked at Hobbes who was devouring tuna fish.
"That tiger is soooooo stupid! He'd sell his parents for tuna fish." though #5. "O.K. tigre. I'm outta fish so you can go home now."
"What?" said Hobbes. "You told me I could have all I wanted!
"I lied." grinned the duplicate.
Hobbes jumped on the duplicate and swung him round and round
"AAAAAAaaaAAAAAaaaAAAAAaaaAAAAaaaaAAAAAaaaAAAAaaa IiiiiaMMMMgggOOIiiNNNggggTTooooBBaaRRfff!" wailed the duplicate.
Hobbes let the duplicate fly.
"Wow." said Hobbes "I guess the is a career to be made as a human discus after all!"
With that he ran back home.
