PASTA LA VISTA - CHAPTER ONE
Calvin was standing on the diving block at the local pool. It was 3 feet high, but Calvin seemed to be in a daze and was grabbing his floatie ring. His mom walked over.
"Calvin, you did this yesterday! Just jump off." She said, but to no avail. She decided to walk over and help him out with jumping off.
Spaceman Spiff stood on the edge of a billion foot high cliff. Well, atleast it looked that high. An alien was approaching. Spiff took the emergency alpha-ring around his chest and set it to ELECTRIFY. He slowly got it ready the alien approached. Spiff ATTACKED!
Calvin attacked his mom and stuck the life ring around her arms, scratching them and making them unmovable and pushed her in. She splashed into the pool as Calvin beamed in glory. His mom got out and glared at him from the pool side.
"ZOUNDS! The alien has re-emerged to get revenge!" Calvin exclaimed.
"You're going to have a lot more than aliens to worry about, kiddo." His mom said flatly. Calvin's eyes bulged open in fear.
"Great. Just great." Calvin said, going through the door. He had gotten a whole lecture the 30-minute drive home. His ears were hurting and this day could not get any worse.
"Calvin, I'm going to go bring back the garbage cans, okay?" his mom said.
"Fine. Just fine." Calvin said.
"I'm home!" Calvin said, even though no one was inside. It was almost a habit now.
A bad habit, he realized, just as the words slipped out of his mouth. The moment he said that, a big ball of orange-and-black terror pounced at him.
"I have got to stop doing that," Calvin remarked, covered in dirt. Hobbes retreated upstairs and Calvin took off his coat and shoes and laid them on the living room floor sloppily.
He noticed the mail and went over to see if anything was for him. He checked through the pile until he noticed his school's logo on one. Oh no! He'd been discovered! They had pinned the noodles to him. The oh so soggy noodles.
He grabbed the letter and ran. He would be in big trouble if mom found out. He dashed into his room and Hobbes pounced him again. Tigers were definitely trouble.
Calvin's mom walked in only to find Calvin, gripping his stuffed tiger, flying off the balcony to the upstairs. He spun through the air and landed foot-first, but spinning on his ankle landing. What was that kid trying to do? Kill himself?
"Yeah, do that again and it'll be the last pounce you ever make." Calvin vowed, before walking up the stairs. His mom met him on the way up.
"Honey?" she asked.
"AAAHHH!" Calvin screamed, thinking that she knew about the letter.
"Is anything wrong?" she asked.
"Oh, no. Nothing at all. Me and Hobbes were just… uh, nevermind." Calvin said, before running into his room and bolting the door with a chair, and putting a nail through the door and the wall.
"Hobbes, we need to get out of here. Mom's going to find out about the noodles." Said Calvin.
"So why are you worried? You said you were framed…" Hobbes started.
"I WAS! If they find me with this, I'm in big trouble because they think I did it." Calvin said.
"So what are you going to do?" asked Hobbes.
"I think it's time we built a new invention…" Calvin said.
