Legal junk: yada yada yada I don't own any characters so don't sue me

Two new reviews yahoo! (I think I am finally getting the hang of writing these stories.)

Bee Rivers: Yeah your right there is a little romance in this story but it's put there only to add a little drama to this tale not for any fluff. At least wise not in this chapter

L-Se'pear: Thanks for your support

Ch 4: What happened

Susie stared out her window at Calvin's house across the street. Today she had been unsuccessful at convincing Calvin not to fight Moe, and with only two days left time was running out. She had to come up with another plan and fast or in two days Calvin would be in the ICU ward or worse.

'Why didn't I just say "no" to Moe when he asked', Susie wondered. 'Then this whole mess could have been avoided'.

Susie heard a knock on her door and turned around to see her mom entering her room.

"What is it Mom", Susie asked.

"You seemed a little withdrawn at dinner tonight", Susie's Mom replied. It was then that Susie saw her mom had two glasses of hot chocolate and a few cookies on a TV tray. "Do you want to talk"?

" Okay sure", Susie replied as she grabbed a glass and a cookie. "Mom have you ever done something with good intentions and had it back fire on you"?

"Yeah", Susie's mom replied as she took a sip of her hot chocolate. " Fill me in sweetie".

Meanwhile over at Calvin's House:

Calvin and Hobbes sat in on Calvin's bed.

"Hobbes what am I gonna do", Calvin asked. " I can't learn how to fight like a tiger in two days".

"I know", Hobbes replied.

"Well you're a big help", Calvin said.

"Calvin can I come in", Calvin's dad asked as he opened Calvin's door.

"Yeah sure Pops", Calvin replied.

"Miss Wormwood called me today and told me that Moe had been attacked by a boobie-trap of suspicious design", Calvin's Dad said as he sat down on Calvin's bed. "Would you care to comment on that"?

'Well here comes the hurricane', Calvin thought as his eyes rolled up to the ceiling.

"I'm sure Moe got what he deserved", Calvin replied.

"I'm sure of that too", Calvin's Dad said. "I am also sure that the person who set this trap is in this room".

"Uh….it's a distinct possibility", Calvin said.

"Son, there is a part of my life I never have told you", Calvin's Dad said as he smiled and looked down at his son.

" I first met your mom when I was in high school, she had just moved in from another town when I met her", Calvin's Dad said. "Well there was this bully named John and he pushed her down a flight of stairs and then laughed. I saw him laugh and then I broke his jaw with one swing of the back of a chair. What I am getting at son, is that if you fight for personal gain then you are no better then the bully but if you fight to defend others then you are better. Now I know you are fighting to protect Susie and everyone else from Moe. Right"?

"Yes", Calvin replied. 'Just how the heck did his dopey ole Dad know all of this'.

"I am proud of you son", Calvin's Dad said as he got up to leave.

"You mean that Dad", Calvin asked. "I mean no other parent would tell his son to fight someone without lots of reservation so why are you"?

"Because son you are fighting for what you know is right", Calvin's Dad replied. "To me that shows two things it shows that you are able to distinguish right from wrong , and it shows that you have the character I always hoped and tried to build in you to have. In both instances I now have proof in knowing I have done my job".
