Chapter 4

Knickknacks and a Plan

625 and Moody walked down the sidewalk to the nearby party supply store. The heat made the air rather humid to breathe in. Unfortunately Moody had to hear 625 complain about the heat all the way there.

'' I'm so hot! I hate this heat!'', 625 whined.

'' Enough! We're almost at the store'', Moody said.

'' I already feel like that grilled cheese sandwich... melted''.

'' First the heat, now you're making me hungry''.

'' Are we there yet?''

'' No.''

'' Are we there yet?''

'' No.''

'' Are we-...''

'' Enough!''

'' Okay''.

They soon arrived to the party store. It was rather small in size, as seagulls flew around in the parking lot hoping to snag a meal. 625 watched them flying about.

'' 625, you get the streamers, I'll get the balloons'', Moody said,'' I'll get the cart too.''

They both entered the store. 625 could feel the refreshing breeze of the air conditioner,'' Nice and cold... like that freezer.''

'' Don't get distracted!'', Moody warned.

'' I'm burning!''

'' Not anymore. Find that stuff... for the sake of the family.''

625 groaned and went to a random isle.

Moody was looking at the balloons that would mostly fit in for the occasion, after she got the shopping cart.

'' Birthday party... no. Wedding... NO! Baby shower... I should put this down... NO!''

Nothing of Moody's interest, just all for regular ordinary occasions,'' I'll just use these plain, white, ordinary, regular... paper plates.''

She got the plates and put them in the cart.

625 walked up to her,'' I've got the streamers.''

He showed the roll to her. The streamer roll was very small.

'' I thought streamers were alot longer than that'', Moody replied, with her hand resting in her chin.

She looked at the roll and discovered that it unraveled, she followed the trail and outside the isle she saw the cashier tied up in streamers,'' Why'd you do this 625?''

''... I wanted to know how long 250 feet was''.

'' Why'd you tie up the cashier?''

'' She wouldn't shut up... so I tied her up and covered her mouth to go along with it.''

'' We should help her.''

'' So she could scream and hurt my little eardrums? I don't think so.''

Moody walked up slowly to the cashier,'' Hello, we're here to help you. We come in peace... to shop.''

The cashier screamed but it was muffled. Moody ripped the short strands of streamers to let the cashier free,'' Are you okay?''

'' Take anything you want! I won't tell the cops! Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!'', the cashier screamed, as she left the store and ran down the street, continuing to scream.

Moody made a strange look on her face,'' Are we really that scary?''

'' No. Wow! Free shopping!'', 625 said.

Moody glared at him.

'' Can I get those spray streamers... in a can?''

'' Go ahead! I'll get the balloons.''

'' Yes! Later, Moods.''

Moody sighed and found some assorted balloons and tossed them in the cart, along with some earplugs and candy. 625 walked up to her.

'' Hey Moods, aren't you going to fill those balloons up with helium?'', 625 said, as he tossed spray streamer cans into the cart.

'' No, I think somebody's going to do that stupid helium voice... that I hate so much.''

'' Sure not me. I hate making a fool of myself.''

'' What do we need next?''

'' We've already got plastic spoons, and forks in the ship. Napkins... yes.''

''... I think that's it.''

'' Okay, well let's go back home and decorate.''

They walked up to the register.

'' Moods, free shopping remember?''

'' Still...''

'' Moods!''

Moody sighed in defeat.

She pushed the cart out of the store as 625 helped her, and back into the heat outside they went, as the sidewalk began to burn their feet.

'' I hope we've got enough supplies'', Moody said.

'' I think we do... also I still forgot the bacon.''

'' We can live...''.

'' I'm gonna make the sandwiches.''

'' Good... Oh no!''

'' What?''

'' How are we going to invite the cousins? Stupidwheel won't let them come to us just like that?''

'' That cute look you sometimes give me will work... trust me... It works.''

'' I'd rather use that as a last resort.''

'' Then what?''

'' I've got it, but we need Gantu for this.''

'' Okay?''

'' Okay, as soon as we finish decorating I've got the plan.''

'' Moods, my feet are burning.''

Moody had another idea,'' Climb up into the cart, I'll push you.''

'' What are you, my mother? I'm not a baby.''

'' You're behaving like one.''

'' What about you?''

'' Don't worry about me. Now climb!''

625 climbed up the cart and sat inside it, as Moody pushed the cart. It wasn't easy for an experiment her size.

'' Having a little trouble there Moods?'', 625 asked.

Straining from the weight of the cart, the white mood-detecting experiment replied,'' No!''

'' I still think that you need help.''

'' No!''

While they were almost at the ship, Moody had a hard time moving the cart through the sand, as the cart's wheels quickly filled with sand then they were unable to move.

'' ... Help!'', Moody said, bluntly.

'' Relax Moods, we don't have much stuff. We could carry it back to the ship.''

'' Fine ''.

They took their items out of the cart, abandoning it after they got all of their stuff and walking up the sandy path to get to the ship.

'' Great... we're already here'', 625 sighed.

They entered the ship. Moody saw Gantu laying down on the sofa reading a book. She had another idea.

'' 625, can you pass me one of those silly streamer sprays?''

'' Why?''

'' First I wanna see if my plan works by testing it out with Gantu''.

625 threw a can of green silly string towards Moody as she caught it. Moody made a blank look on her face to keep it straight. She sprayed some string at herself.

'' Moods, the party hasn't even started and yet you're celebrating'', 625 remarked.

'' Shush! This is part of my plan!''

625 made an ''oh-great-another-plan'' look on his face.

Moody made the same blank look on her face as the spray streamers were around her body. She hid the can behind her back. She walked up to Gantu moaning, grabbing his attention.

'' Oh it's terrible!'', Moody moaned.

'' What happened to you 623?'', Gantu asked on the verge of panicking.

'' Gantu it's horrible... get out before it's too late... It's got me...''

625 watched from a distance, Drama queen.

'' What is it?'', Gantu asked.

'' Surprise!'', Moody shouted, revealing the spray can, spraying silly string at Gantu, who was screaming his head off.

'' Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!'', Gantu screamed.

Moody collapsed on the floor, laughing,'' Just like in ' Tremors'. That kid scared the townspeople twice!''

Gantu growled trying to get the string off of him.

625 had a can of yellow string in his hand,'' Hi Gantu, you've still got some string on you... here... (Sprays can)... there... (Sprays can)... and some on you're arm... (Sprays can)... and that's it.''

Then Gantu had yellow silly string around him,'' What is this stuff?''

'' Party string! It's funny! Gantu, you should've seen the look on your face!'', 625 laughed.

'' Also Gantu, how many times do I have to tell you that... MY NAME IS MOODY?''

'' Sorry 6- I mean Moody'', Gantu said, pulling the string off him again.

'' Gantu can you call Stupidwheel?'', Moody asked, sweetly.

'' Usually he calls me'', Gantu sighed.

'' Not today! I've got a plan.''

625, Moody, and Gantu huddled together as Moody whispered the plan to them.

'' I have to WHAT?'', 625 shouted.

'' Do it!'', Moody said.

A Few minutes later...

'' Places aliens, and 625, stick the whipped cream nozzle into your mouth'', Moody said.

'' I don't wanna'', 625 whined,'' I never make a fool out of myself.''

'' But it'll be fun...'', Moody said.

Her antennae, ears, and bushy tail drooped down, as she widened her eyes and bottom lip up, trying to make the puppy dog look.

'' Don't give me that look! Not the cute look! Oh!'', 625 sighed, in defeat,'' Fine.''

He stuck the nozzle of the whipped cream into his mouth and sprayed some into his mouth.

'' Great! Now act all weird like I said.''

625 groaned, even though it was muffled.

'' Say it... don't spray it'', Moody giggled.

Gantu called Hamsterveil,'' Hamsterveil! Something terrible has happened!''

'' What? What?'', Hamsterveil said.

He saw in the background Moody and 625 both covered in silly string and growling out loudly with whipped cream in their mouths, walking toward Gantu.

'' What's going on?'', Hamsterveil asked.

'' 625 and 623 have some sort of glitch'', Gantu shouted.

That got Moody angry.

'' Name's Moody!'', Moody shouted.

'' Aww, now you've ruined the plan'', 625 said, through a mouthful of whipped cream.

'' Nice try Gantu'', Hamsterveil said,'' Why'd you call me? I'm very busy!''

'' Can you transport the experiments here?'', Moody asked, sweetly.

'' Why?''

'' Family reunion... please?''

Moody began doing the cute look... the same one she gave 625 earlier.

'' No using your eyes to gain sympathy!'', Hamsterveil said, but to no avail.

He sighed in defeat,'' I can't believe I'm doing this but... fine, but after your party, return them to me. Gantu! I'm leaving you to supervise them!''

'' Y-y-yes sir!'', Gantu stuttered.

Then Hamsterveil turned off the t.v. He turned to the experiments as he thought, Well, at least I'll have peace and quiet.

'' Great work Moods. Who knew Hamsterveil would let this happen'', 625 said.

Moody blushed,'' Aww, It all comes naturally.''

They walked to the teleportation room to greet their ''long lost'' cousins, but little that they knew that the reunion would result in chaos...

TBC...
