The Clone Wars Part VI

Calvin had a pretty usual day (for Calvin that is) at school. He grossed Suzie out at lunch when he told her his bologna sandwich was made with cross-sections of Daschenund, he failed his math test (one of his answers for 4-2 was "We live in a free country therefore, I feel responding to this question would be a violation of my rights.", and when he got home, Hobbes game him his usual 3,000 mp/h greeting at the front door.

After disentangling himself from Hobbes, Calvin asked him, "So, did you see my duplicates today?"
"No." said Hobbes "But your mom was yelling something about missing balloons."
"Hummm...Balloons...", said Calvin "I know! My duplicates must be waging a war against me! Hobbes! We've got to defend ourselves!"
"How?" asked Hobbes.
"We can stock the tree house with water balloons so when they come we can soak 'em. We can also keep water pistols up there."
"Wait!" said Hobbes " Since we're going to the tree house, how 'bout we have a G.R.O.S.S. meeting?"
"Good idea!" said Calvin.
The two set off, unknowing of the approaching danger.

Location--Duplicates HQ
T-30 minutes until Operation Water Balloons

Calvin and Hobbes arrived at the tree fort and donned their G.R.O.S.S. chapeaus.
"Oyez, oyez!" said Calvin "This meeting of Get Rid Of Slimy girlS is now in order. Dictator-for-life Calvin presiding. All bow and worship the mighty Calvin!"
"Triple cheer for Tiger Number One, Hobbes! May his wills become truth and his might respected." said Hobbes.
"Now it's time for a report from military intelligence expert Calvin." said Calvin.
Calvin pretended to enter the tree house and saluted Hobbes smartly.
"Greeting Mr. President, Sir!" said Calvin.
"Greetings Mr. Calvin. At ease" said Hobbes saluting back "Report!"
"We are to believe that a rogue group of duplicates is heading towards the tree fort." said Calvin "Reports indicate they are armed with water balloons."

Location--Duplicates HQ
T-15 minutes until Operation Water Balloons
Duplicates donned their camouflage leaf helmets and shields.

"Any ideas on a possible defence system Mr. Calvin?" asked Hobbes.
"I recommend we call a military conference to decide how to counter the threat." said Calvin.
"I will call all military personnel at once." said Hobbes
"This military conference is now under way. For General-in-command Calvin...AttenSHUN!." said Calvin pretending to enter the tree fort.
"Munitions expert Hobbes present SIR!" said Hobbes.
"Military intelligence expert Calvin present SIR!" said Calvin.
"At ease men." said Calvin "Right, now we all know why we're here. Now we need a defence plan fast! Any suggestions? Yes, Military intelligence expert?"
"I believe that if we stock the base with dihydrogen monoxide bombs and keep a steady supply of water guns on hand we should be able to hold the siege." said Calvin.
"But we don't have enough munitions on hand, sir!" said Hobbes "The enemy has captured most of our ammo."

Location--Duplicates HQ
T-5 minutes until Operation Water Balloons
Duplicates grabbed water balloons and stood by for a speech by #5.
"Men!" boomed #5 from the top of his tree "You are going out on a dangerous mission. The enemy is aware of our activity because our raiding party was spotted. You must act fast. You are to attack point X (Tree fort), capture the Stripe (Hobbes) and the C-Man (Calvin), and bring them back to base."

"That is the stupidest idea I've ever heard!" said military intelligence expert Calvin.
"Well I don't think your idea was too bright either!" said Hobbes
"Don't speak that way to a superior!" roared Calvin.
"You're asking for it, buddy." said Hobbes.
The tiger and the boy stood glaring at each other.
They never knew who threw the first punch but soon they were rolling around, hitting, biting, clawing, and yelling at each other.
Insults like: "Flea bag!", "Yoghurt Brain!", and "Stink-O" were exchanged. Suddenly, a big red water balloon hit them square on.

Location--Point X
Operation Water Balloons commenced
The duplicates stayed hidden behind trees until the first balloon was launched. Then they fired balloon after balloon at the fort.

Calvin looked over the edge of the fort. There were a few dozen of his duplicates firing ware balloons at the fort!
