Back at the house...
"Alright, Hobbes. What should we turn him into?"
"I dunno. Maybe something that can TALK!"
"Alright, alright. Geez. O.k. How about a copy of my dad? He can just talk on forever, so why not?"
"O.k."
So the two of them got the transmogrifier.
"O.K, little fella. In you go." said Calvin.
ZAP!
"Hey there, Mr. Salamander. What's up?" asked Calvin.
No response.
"I don't get it. Why didn't it work?" pondered a confused Calvin.
"Well," said Hobbes, "maybe it's because the salamander didn't have enough brains to start with."
"In that case, where's the Brain Enhancement Machine?"
"In your closet."
"Oh yeah." And Calvin rummaged through his closet untill he found...
"The Brain Enhacment Machine. Now get the salamander. Wait a sec, where'd he go?"
They found the salamander (Now in the form of Calvin's Dad.) under Calvin's blankets, skittering around on all 4.
"Alrighty then. Let's get him under and switch it on." Calvin said eagerly. Once they got the salamander to wear the helmet, they switched it on.
ZAP!
"So, Mr. Salamander, how's it...
"1st of all, my name is NOT 'Mr. Salamander'. My name is Maxwell Maxsworthy. 2nd of all, WHAT THE HECK HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!"
Stay tuned, readers. More to come soon.
