Thank you Swing123, you are my idol
"This is the first time," scribbled a girl's hand, "that the little twerp left me alone and went up to bed immediately." The hand belonged to a teenage babysitter. She closed the diary and inserted a key. Her cell-phone began to ring.
"Oh hi Charlie!" said the girl. "Yeah… the little twerp is driving me up the wall… What? I know!" She walked away. A yellow head peeked out from the staircase and it stared at the diary.
"Now's the time Hobbes!" Calvin whispered. The orange fur-ball roared up to the desk Babysitter Girl, Rosalyn, was writing. He silently snatched the diary off of the desk and he ran back to Calvin. The key was still in the lock.
"Now we must investigate that Babysitter Girls' thoughts!" muttered Calvin. They carried the diary into Calvin's' room and they opened the diary.
"Babysitter Girl left her secret diary unlocked!" Calvin said excitedly. He read one of the pages. Out loud.
"I'm about to postpone my date with Charlie again. It seems that the kids' parents are so desperate to leave him; they said they'll give me a 10 dollar raise! I just went. The kid is really annoying and even I'm desperate to leave him," read Calvin. "This was from a week ago, when my parents went to that Little Italy place!" Calvin laughed. He flipped the page over. Hobbes looked intently.
"Today was my second date with Charlie. I knew him for about two years but I never got to have dates with him," read Calvin. "The twerp has—"
"WHERE IS MY DIARY!" screamed Rosalyn.
"Oh no!" whispered Calvin. He shut the diary and locked the book. He began to tie the drapes together.
"Hobbes! Tie the drapes together! Use my shirts or anything!" screamed Calvin. "First, lock the door and put my foot locker against it!"
"Roger!" said Hobbes. He pushed the foot locker to the edge of the door. He pushed the lock in and began to tie shirts to the ladder.
"CALVIN! OPEN THIS DOOR IMMEDIATELY!" Rosalyn shrieked. She was slamming her body into the door. The foot locker trembled.
"Please Calvin!" begged Rosalyn.
"Ha! We got the Barracuda to beg!" Calvin laughed triumphantly. He tossed the rope ladder out of the window. He weighed the end of the rope that is inside with a few comic books and a couple board games.
"Here we go Hobbes!" Calvin grabbed Hobbes by the waist and they slid down into his mother's rose bushes.

"Nebuloid! It is the great supreme Earth Potentate!" screamed Galaxoid from a bush. He discarded a camera he was holding, "The one who gave us the gift of Warmth!"
"Why yes it is!" said Nebuloid. "It looks like he is running away!" Indeed, Calvin and Hobbes were running away.
"We must help!" screamed Galaxoid. "Look! There is a button there! It must be their spaceship!" Galaxoid pointed to a red button bulging from the side of the house. He pulled out his ray-gun and shot the red button.
Meanwhile…
"Hobbes, look!" screamed Calvin.
"It's a ray of light!" yelled Hobbes while pointing at the ray of red light.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" shouted them both.
And…
"YES! You are dead you twerp!" screamed Rosalyn as she toppled into Calvin's room. She saw no sign of Calvin or his stuffed doll.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" screamed Rosalyn.
Also…
Galaxoid was watching the ray as it sped towards the button. A slimy tentacle tapped them on the shoulders.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" screamed Galaxoid and Nebular.
So…
The three groups of people, Galaxoid and Nebular, Calvin and Hobbes, and Rosalyn were all screaming at the moment. But Calvin felt something strange… Something very strange happening… The moment the ray hit the button, a strange blue light enveloped both Calvin and Hobbes. Nebular screamed.
"The… The boy! Look at the boy!"
