Chapter 11

Calvin and Hobbes raced toward the exit of the forest.

Calvin's eyes widened with delight, as the Camp Pine sign began to come into focus.

Just forty more steps, and they'd see civilization again!

Just then... oops. The entire crew of aliens blocked the trail into Camp Pine.

Calvin and Hobbes screamed, and came to a screeching halt in front of the aliens.

The captain grinned. "Well, well, well. Look what the cat barfed up. Where's you little fighting buddies?"

Calvin backed up.

"They uh... they..."

"They're gone." said the captain. "They went back to their little world inside your empty head!"

Calvin backed up into pine tree.

Hobbes growled at the aliens.

The captain laughed. "We can do that to you again you know."

Hobbes screamed, and hid behind a tree.

The aliens turned their attention back to Calvin.

"Kid, you're are a very weak potentate. And now, you'll die."

Calvin stared at the aliens.

"I am NOT the Earth Potentate!" he screamed. "I'M NOT, I'M NOT, I'M NOT I'M NOT, I'M NOT!"

The alien's laughed.

"Yes, you are! And Earth was stupid to pick a stupid kid like you!" they yelled.

Calvin gritted his teeth.

These aliens were making him SO mad! His mind ran at full power, then resorted to his very last plan.

"You're right." he said. "I'm am a stupid kid.."

The aliens drew closer to him.

"That's right." they said.

"But you know what?" Calvin continued. "I think for a kid, it's not all that bad that I did what most kids would parish doing: I survived in the wilderness in a MONTH!"

"Hurray." said the captain, rolling his eyes.

"I AM A KID!" Calvin screamed.

"We know!" yelled the captain. "Now back against the tree!"

"I'm a kid... AND I'M PROUD OF IT!"

A microphone suddenly dropped into Calvin's hands.

"I soak people with water balloons, I read comic books, I prank almost everyone a see... AND I'M PROUD OF IT!"

"Calm down," yelled one of the aliens. "We hate killing someone while there sitting there babbling about being proud!"

"And there's just something I want to do. I want the world to KNOW exactly who we are! We're... we're... WE'RE..."

Calvin didn't finish.

Fog began to rise from the ground, and a spotlight was now shining on Calvin.

The aliens traded glances, each one as confused as the other.

Just then, Calvin leaped up.

He was holding an electric guitar, and bulking a heavy attitude.

(Make up your own note for this.)

"We're Calvin and HO-O-O-Obbes!" screamed Calvin, sending the aliens whirling backward in shock.

"We've got gobs of fU-U-U-Un!"

"What's he doing?" screamed an alien.

"Ya can't fool around with us be-cause we're CALVIN AND HO-O-O-OBBES!"

"STOP!" several aliens screamed.

But Calvin just kept on singing.

He drummed his fingers over the electric guitar, did the worm, twist, and other moves.

"so ya wanna be like us? Ya better pack a lunch! We've got lot's of talent, and FU-U-U-U-UN!"

By this time, Hobbes had joined in with the singing.

"There are no re-PLACEMENTS for people like U-US!"

"GET HIM!" the captain screamed over Calvin's rock and roll.

The aliens growled, and lunged for Calvin.

The aliens were right on top of Calvin, but with a musical blast of color and sound, The aliens went tumbling away.

Calvin rose into the air, and continued with the mighty music.

The captain watched, as Calvin rose into air, and did amazing stunts.

The captain turned to his crew.

"Why are you just sitting there? Get up, and kill him!"

The aliens stared at the musical Calvin.

"Do you think we ought to?" one asked.

"GET HIM! HE'S A JUST STUPID KID SINGING A SONG!"

The aliens hesitated, then grabbed The musical sensation.

Big mistake.

ZZZZT!

Electricity from Calvin's guitar zapped through the alien.

He collapsed, unconscious.

Serval other aliens made a grab for him, but the same thing happened to each of them.

Calvin continued playing the music.

Only now, he was sending electric blasts from his guitar at the aliens, knocking them out.

The captain screamed in frustration that a six year old was defeating his entire army!

Then Calvin sent an electric blast straight upward into the sky.

The blast made fireworks, drawing the attention of mom, dad, Susie, Moe, and Candice at Camp Pine.

Calvin turned his eyes on the captain, who was the only alien who hadn't received a blast of electricity.

He yelled, and ran off, as Calvin fired shot after shot after him, still playing the mighty rock 'n roll music.

Just when the captain thought he had escaped, Calvin drummed down on the strings harder, making a huge blast of hot energy.

BLLLAAASSST!

Calvin scored a direct hit on the captain.

Hobbes yelled "HOORAY!" as Calvin put the finishing touches on the only real song he had ever done.

"We're live at Camp Pine, where Calvin, lost for a month in uncharted wilderness and considered dead, is found in a tearful ceremony." said Jane Gregory of the CNN news.

Calvin came bouncing out of the forest, as if nothing happened.

Everyone was shocked.

"There's not a scratch on him!"everyone yelled.

Two guys came running up to Calvin. One of them was holding a MSNBC cam, the other held a microphone.

"Calvin," said the guy with the microphone. "Everyone wants to know: what was it like being away from civilization for one month?"

Calvin stared up at the camera man with a big insane grin on his face.

"Well," he said. "It all started when I got off the bus!"

(6 hours later)

"and then," Calvin was saying. "The aliens began to close in! I had no place to go!"

The guy with the microphone rolled his eyes.

(10 hours later)

"And Then!" Calvin said with extra drama. "THE KING APPEARED!"

Calvin hadn't noticed that the reporter had walked away.

"HEY!" Calvin yelled. "GET BACK HERE! I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE GOOD PART!"

Just then Mom came bounding up to Calvin.

"Oh, Calvin, You're alive! THANK GOODNESS!" She embraced Calvin.

"MOM!" Calvin yelled, as Hobbes snickered. "LEGGO! DON'T EMBARRASS ME IN MY PUBLIC!"

"Come on, Calvin, we're going home." said mom.

"But I haven't gotten to the part about the real..."

Just then a shadowy figure seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Calvin gasped.

"MISTER INSPECTOR COLD! AAAAAAAAAAA!"

Mom turned and stared at Chill who had his sunglasses back on, covering his big alien eyes.

"Calvin," he hissed. "I'm just delighted that you're alive!"

Calvin laughed. "HA! YOU'RE NOT DELIGHTED! YOU'RE SADDENED BEYOND BELIEF! YOU HATE ME! YOU WANT ME DEAD! SOMEBODY TACKLE HIM!"

"Calvin, don't be silly." said mom. "Chill's been here since we got here."

Calvin glared at Chill. "He's an alien, mom! He tried to kill me, and he's still planning to!"

Chill grinned, innocently.

"You have to excuse that." Chill said. "he's been lost for a long time. He's probably dazed."

Calvin's mouth dropped open.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"HEY! WE GOT SOMEBODY HERE!"

Calvin, Chill, mom, dad, Susie, Moe, Candice, and everybody else turned around.

There, standing in the entrance of the forest, Was a Search and Rescue guy, the hiker who had saw Hobbes' footprints, and The REAL John Howard Chill.

"This guy wanted to show me some strange looking tracks." The S&R guy said motioning to the hiker. "We didn't find the tracks. What we found was this guy lying in the dust, half crazed from starvation."

Calvin grinned. "SEE? SEEEE? HE'S NOT CHILL!"

the fake Chill lingered for five seconds, then darted away in a puff of dust.

ZOOM!

He vanished.

Calvin yelped in surprise.

Just then, a policeman bolted past Calvin, and tackled the fake Chill.

They both collapsed to the ground.

Calvin turned to Hobbes. "Wow, you don't see THAT very often on Court TV."

Hobbes blinked.

"Sorry for the confusion, ma'am." the policeman said to mom and dad, who were to stunned to do anything. "This is RUPERT Chill. John Chill's Twin Brother."

Calvin's mouth dropped open. "THAT'S NOT RUPERT! THAT'S AN ALIEN!"

A few people chuckled at Calvin's outburst.

Calvin growled, then turned to John Chill. "You tell 'em, Mr Inspector Cold! Tell 'em of how they took you on their spaceship!"

All eyes turned to John.

He just stood there, staring off into space and babbling like someone who had been kidnaped.

Calvin blinked, then spun around back to Rupert.

"TAKE OFF HIS SUNGLASSES!" he commanded. "THERE'S A PAIR OF BUG EYES UNDER THEM!"

Just to humor Calvin, The policeman took off Rupert's glasses.

Calvin held his breath.

There were ordinary eyes underneath.

Calvin stared at everybody.

At last he said, "oh, the heck with it!" and walked to the car.

"P.S." he said turning around. "I refuse to stay another SECOND at this torture chamber for harmless little boys!"

Susie rolled her eyes.

The next day, everything seemed to be back to normal.

Calvin walked into his room.

Hobbes was on the bed reading a comic book.

"So," said Hobbes. "How are your heros doing?"

"Oh pretty good." said Calvin. "They're pretty happy to be back in my head."

"There must be something wrong in THEIR heads." said Hobbes.

"What?" asked Calvin.

"Nothing." said Hobbes. Calvin grumbled, and walked down the stairs.

"Mom?" he said. "how long was I lost?"

"A month." replied mom. Calvin gasped.

"A MONTH! that's a month of summer wasted! Down the drain! Gone forever!"

Calvin thought for a moment.

"Can I take a month off when school starts?" he asked.

"No." replied mom. "NO!" Calvin yelled. "How would you have felt if those aliens had sent me to Jupiter!"

"Then Earth would be very peaceful." replied mom.

Calvin growled. "You can't do this to me!" he yelled. "I'll hire a lawyer!"

"Mm-hmm" replied mom.

Calvin growled in frustration.

Then mom said. "Calvin, there's something for you on the table."

Calvin's eyes popped open.

He ran over to the table.

There, sitting in the very middle of the table was a gift wrapped in sparkling wrapping paper.

Calvin plucked a card off the present.

"To: Calvin. Welcome home." he read.

He threw the card aside and ripped through the paper.

Once he did that, he grabbed the box lid, and ripped it open.

Calvin stared at the contents of the box. A wide delighted grin spread across his face.

"Could it be?" he asked. He reached into the box and pulled out...

"FIRST EDITION CAPTAIN NALPALM COMICS!" He screamed. "I can't believe it! Look at them all! It's to good to be true!"

mom smiled.

She didn't hear Calvin say; "Hmmm, maybe if I get lost again, mom'll get me a flamethrower."

but she did hear: "But right now... THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
