To Garfieldodie: Yes, Rupert and Earl will appear in some fics to add more of a plot to the story. I think I have a good idea for this story.
Swing123: also, I haven't put up THE TIME PAUSER yet on Calvin and Hobbes: The Series, however, this chapter includes Calvin's device of time stopping. Just thought you might want to know. Also, I'm sorry about the short chapter. stupid writer's block.
Odie bounced across the table. He stopped at the edge of the table, and started staring off into space.
"Observe the dog." Garfield told Hobbes. "Observe the dog being kicked off the table."
Garfield climbed onto the table and raised his foot.
BOOT!
CRASH!
"Let me try." Hobbes said.
Odie picked himself up off the floor, and continued staring off into space with his tongue hanging out.
Hobbes skipped the kicking and went right to the pounce.
POW!
Garfield clapped with approval.
"Very original." He commented.
While Garfield and Hobbes played around with the dog who didn't seem to notice either one of them, Calvin continued to unpack.
He took a bag of pretzels, and put them into the duplicator.
"Boink"
Calvin took out the two pretzels, and ate them down.
Jon came into the room just then.
He had a dorky grin on his face, and was carrying a sandwich.
He sat down in the chair next to Calvin.
Calvin ignored him, and continued to unpack.
"So, what's your name?" Jon asked.
"Calvin." Calvin said.
"Calvin!" Jon said. "Great name!"
"Uh." Calvin said.
"Where do live?"
"Earth."
"Earth!" Jon said. "I've been there! Great place isn't it?"
"If you can get past the jerks, pollution, and morons who ask stupid questions and give stupid answers, yes."
"Quite a place."
Just then something yellow with a tongue flew past Jon and crash landed into the wall.
"GARFIELD!" Jon screamed.
"It wasn't me!" Garfield said. "And for once, I'm telling the truth! Hobbes did it!"
Calvin continued to unpack.
Then, he uncovered his infamous Time Pauser.
He grinned, and hit the button.
BOOM!
Time stopped.
Calvin rushed into the kitchen grabbed some more pretzels, and rushed back into the livingroom.
BOOM!
Time started up, again.
Calvin ate down the bag of salty saltness.
Outside, Rupert and Earl were peeking into the house.
"Wow." Earl said. "I didn't know that Earth had walking beach balls."
"No I think that's one of those Earth 'cats'." Rupert said.
"You'd think these Earthlings had never heard of a treadmill before." Earl said.
"tell me about it." Rupert said.
"So, what's the plan?" Earl asked.
"Watch this."
Rupert pushed the button on his space uniform. He transformed into Rupert Chill.
Earl did the same on his uniform. HE changed into a bald man with a jacket.
Rupert and Earl slipped on their sunglasses.
"Won't Calvin or his parents recognize us?" Earl asked.
"Maybe Calvin will." Rupert said. "But his parents certainly won't. So, we're safe."
"Yup." Earl said.
Rupert rang the doorbell.
Seconds later, Jon opened the door.
"May I help you?" He asked.
"Yes." Rupert said. "My name is Mr John Howard Chill, it appears that me and my friend here, have been in a car wreck."
"Well," Jon said. "I got plenty of room! Why don't you bunker up here for the night?"
"Why thank you sir." Earl said. "You won't regret this."
Garfield rushed up to Jon.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Garfield screamed. "You can't invite more people into my house! My food! My reputation! My honor! NOOOOOOO!"
"What a cute little kitty." Rupert said bending over to pat Garfield.
Garfield hit the switch blade in his claws, and swiped Rupert across the face.
"YEEEE-YOW!" Rupert screamed, jumping up. "YOU HORRIBLE SPACE FELINE!"
"What happened to cute?" Garfield asked.
"Oh, I am terribly sorry about Garfield!" Jon said, holding on to Rupert's back. "He doesn't like strangers! Oh, I'm so sorry!"
"Yeah!" Rupert said pushing Jon away.
"Hey, what's going on?" Calvin asked turning the corner.
"Somebody else besides you is about to eat all my food!" Garfield spat at Calvin.
"who could possibly eat so much food as yo..." Calvin stopped.
He gawked up at the two men in the doorway.
"Ah! Hello Calvin!" Rupert said.
"ALIEN!" Calvin screamed, pointing at Rupert and Earl. "THE HOUSE HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! JON! GET YOUR RIFLE! AND HURRY!"
Calvin ran around the corner, screaming like a maniac.
"HOBBES! MOM! DAD! THE ALIENS HAVE FOUND ME! QUICK! PACK UP! WE HAVE TO LEAVE! THE ALIENS! THEY'RE GONNA GET ME! HELP!"
Jon, Garfield, Rupert, and Earl stared at the corner.
"uhhhh... Yeah." Jon said. "well, um, come in."
Rupert and Earl came into the house.
Calvin and Hobbes weren't seen all day.
Mom had come up to Rupert, and asked him where he could be. Of corse, Rupert didn't know.
Calvin and Hobbes were hiding under the bed.
"Got any three's?" Hobbes asked, holding up a deck of cards.
"Go fish." Calvin said.
Hobbes took a card from the pile.
Garfield peeked under the bed.
"Your Mom's looking for you." He said.
"We're not coming out of here, until Rupert leaves." Hobbes said.
"Well, you better find a better hiding spot." Garfield said.
"Why?" Calvin asked.
"Rupert and Earl are sleeping in this room." Garfield replied.
In mass panic, Calvin and Hobbes scrambled out from under the bed.
"Please, Garfield!" Calvin begged. "You've got to hide us from Rupert! If he finds us, then the entire world is doomed!"
Garfield considered that.
"Well, I'm not entirely sure if I believe you about the aliens, but no world means no food, so I guess I'll humor you. There is one place I can hide you."
Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes peeked out of the room.
The coast was clear.
Garfield led Calvin and Hobbes across the Kitchen, and up the stairs.
Garfield walked over to the back of the wall.
Garfield looked to see if anyone was looking, then pushed his paws into the wall, the wall gave way, and a tunnel came into focus.
Calvin and Hobbes stared into it.
"What is it?" Hobbes asked.
"A tunnel to the refrigerator." Garfield said. "Right underneath the fridge, is a small room with a table and some cards. You can hide in there. Now hurry, before someone sees."
Calvin and Hobbes crawled into the tunnel.
"Nobody knows about this right?" Calvin asked.
"Nobody but you, me, and Hobbes." Garfield grinned, and with that, he closed the tunnel up.
Calvin and Hobbes crawled through the tunnel, then came to the room, Garfield was talking about.
Calvin got an ice creme out of the fridge, and sat down on the dirt floor.
"Well, I'm bored." Calvin said.
"Try thinking about who's above the tunnel." Hobbes said.
"Suddenly, all boredom has faded." Calvin said.
-Sigh-
It was going to be a long night.
