The Chronicles of Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl
A Simpsons Fanfiction Story by Cartoonfan88
2. Changes
You would think, that even all the acts of bravery and heroism that Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl that had earned the trust and thanks of all of Springfield, no one would believe that they saw 'Ghostly Hostages'. When the police came to investigate the scene after the duo had cleared it, even they had to explain, in much depth, what had exactly happened. Even their own family wouldn't believe of the recent events.
"There's no such thing as a ghost" said their mother Marge. "And even if there were, the story still wouldn't make much sense anyway". They were about to protest to their father Homer, but before they could complain he replied "Your mother is right, besides, the chances of seeing a ghosts are impossible". They then looked at Homer with a look that said "And becoming a superhero in a freak accident is impossible also?" Homer then immediately changed looks.
After this, no more conversation took place as the family sat down for dinner. As they were eating, Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl were pondering over the events preceding. Firstly, Wiggum had been acting differently, secondly was the captors shooting each other, thirdly was the sniper head-shooting the escaping captor, fourthly was the ghostly hostages, and now, their family doubting them. But the weird thing was that they both felt that their parents were acting weird as well. They knew that the chances of alien abductions were immense, but even so, it still felt weird to them.
The tension broke as the family heard a knock on their door. Marge went to go answer it, and returned to the table with a disc-looking object, smaller than a CD. As she placed the object on the table, the family began to inspect it, no one had any clue on how it worked or how it operated, but all took care, as they assumed that it might be a weapon of destruction. Clobber Girl took a close inspection, and noticed that there were 2 buttons on the machine, a red and a green, from experience, she pressed the green button.
No destruction followed the button press, but instead, a Hologram of a black figure appeared, the family jumped back a little in shock. The Hologram began to speak in a deep, almost robotic voice.
"Greetings Simpson family, I am delivering a message to Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl, but any other member of the family may hear this message. I come on behalf of Alfred Lansing, my master. He would be here in person to deliver this message, but he has services that required his assistance. He has heard of the recent situation involving the hostages, and is willing to help in someway. He runs a school that could be used to help enhance your children's super-powers, and thus, give them a advantage against foes in the future. We offer nothing in the way of school fees, and we are located near Springfield, so parents living there are able to visit their children. The buttons on this holo-disk will allow us to know whether or not your children will be attending, the green signifies acceptance, the red signifies rejection. Either way, takes you time with this decision."
The hologram disappeared after the last words. The Simpson family were silent, and were carefully thinking of whether or not to send their children to the school. "Well kids, what's it gonna be?" asked Homer. Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl thought carefully about their decision, having their powers developed would be advantageous in the future, but what of Springfield while they are gone? They then remembered some advice that they heard once, "Of two hands, only one can hold a shield, choose carefully what to defend". Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl did indeed think carefully…and then Stretch Dude pressed the green button. They waited….the room was so silent; you could hear a decapitation from a few blocks away…and then nothing. As the family exhaled, there was a knock on the door, and again, Marge answered it. At the door were two men, in similar gear to the man in the hologram, and asked for Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl.
"Thank you for accepting the proposal, our master is most grateful" one said. "Please come with us, we shall take you to the school" the other said. Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl turned towards their rooms, but one of the men said "You do not need any clothes, we have provided you". They then turned towards the door, and took one final look at their parents before leaving the house. Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl then saw their transportation, a black van. They were told to climb in the back, which they did obligingly, and the van set off for it's destination….
DarthHomer: Wow…so the story is progressing even more slowly…
Cartoonfan88: Well, do I see you writing any fanfiction stories?
DarthHomer: No…but answer me this, why is there so little dialogue from Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl?
Cartoonfan88: Well, I aim to try and add more in the next chapters, but I find it difficult to write dialogue…oh well, READ AND REVIEW!
