9:12-By the Road
Calvin ran alongside the road looking for Hobbes. Before he found him, Calvin was stopped by the huge figure of Bowser. "Well, well, well..."
"Out of the way, Bowser! Hobbes needs me!" Calvin walked around Bowser, and father down the road.
"He doesn't need you anymore!" said Bowser. Calvin stopped. "I saw him down there," continued the Koopa king. "Well, half of him, anyway. He was torn up so much, you'll never find all of him! Face it, kid! He's roadkill. And it's your fault for going in the street!"
"No..."
"And since I love your misery so much, I won't even try to kill you! I'll have a few friends do it!" Bowser opened up his shell, and the Kankers jumped out, chasing Calvin.
"Not you again!"
"What should we do when we catch him, girls?" asked Lee.
"Let's do the kiss of death!" cried May.
Calvin ran faster, which was hard to do after that whole car thing. "Not that! I don't even want to know how that works!"
Calvin saw a bus going by and grabbed onto the back. He drove away safely, leaving the Kankers.
"Bowser's gonna kill us when he finds out about this!" worried Marie, watching the bus get farther and farther away.
Lee looked up. "You mean, if he finds out."
"If? If is good..."
"Aww!" whined May. "I wanted to give him the kiss of death!"
"No problem," said Lee, starting back towards camp. "If he ever comes back, we'll kiss him."
"You hear that?" Marie called back at the speck of a bus disappearing into the distance. "IF YOU EVER COME BACK, WE'LL KISS YOU!"
Laughing, the Kankers walked back to tell Bowser the good news. So what if he wasn't dead? He wouldn't be coming back!
This really should have been in the same chapter as the stampede. Oh well. I have no idea why Calvin was listening to Bowser, nor why he's not surprised to see the hulking Koopa in the real world.
