A Weekend with Rosalyn: Part 2 of 3

In Part 1, Calvin had the shock of his life. His parents were going away for the weekend, leaving him with Rosalyn. The next morning...

Calvin: Mom!! You can't leave me with Rosalyn! She hates me! Let me come with you!

Calvin's mom: We offered you the chance to come with us and you said no. We decided to let you stay and you're still not happy. It's too late. We have already made the arrangements with Rosalyn for her to come and stay. She's had to drop a lot of plans to do this. I want you to be nice to her, all right? Now, let me finish off my packing.

Calvin goes to his room...

Hobbes: Is she still making you stay?

Calvin: Yes. This is going to be awful. Rosalyn won't let us do anything.

Hobbes: Why don't we just be good? Or is that out of the question, as usual?

Calvin: What do you mean, as usual? I'm always good.

Later...

DING DONG!

Calvin: That's the doorbell! It must be Rosalyn! Quick, Hobbes! Let's get the water balloons ready! Open my window!

Just before Calvin's mom answers the door, Calvin throws a water balloon out of his window and it lands on Rosalyn.

Rosalyn: AUGH! I'm soaked!

Calvin shouts down from his window...

Calvin: What did you do, Rosalyn? Fall in a lake? Ha, ha!

The front door opens...

Calvin's dad: I am sorry about this. What has he done now?

Rosalyn explains. Afterwards...

Calvin's dad: Wait till I get hold of him. Will you still stay, Rosalyn? I'll pay you triple.

Rosalyn: Yes, of course.

Back in Calvin's bedroom...

Calvin: Did you hear that? Rosalyn's still staying! What are we going to do now?

Hobbes: Give up, I suppose.

Calvin: No way.

Half an hour later, Calvin's parents leave. In the kitchen...

Rosalyn: Right, then. I'll forgive you for that little trick you played on me and forget about it under one condition... you will not cause any trouble for the whole weekend. Got it?

Calvin: All right.

Rosalyn: Let's try and enjoy ourselves. What do you want to do?

Calvin: Let's play... Calvinball!!

Rosalyn: Oh no. I have a feeling it's going to be a long weekend...
