Disclaimer: Still not owning Calvin and Hobbes.
Why should I have to WORK for everything? It's like saying I don't deserve it! -Calvin

"OK, the GROSS meeting will now come to order! Dictator-for-life Calvin presiding!" Hobbes announced.
"Hear, hear!" Calvin said, imitating a crowd of people. "Agenda Supervisor Hobbes, what's on the agenda for today?"
"Well, first, it says that we need to…help you with your English project?"
"GIVE ME THAT!" Calvin screamed. "You're supposed to call it 'spying on the enemy'!"
"The enemy includes all targets that can be spied on to make articles for the school paper. That's your English project."
"Contradicting the dictator-for-life! That's one demerit!"
"You give me demerits? I think not!"
They started fighting, and rolled out of the treehouse. When they stopped, Calvin noticed Susie playing on the sidewalk.
"Shh, Hobbes! There's our first target! Get the camera!"
Hobbes sighed and hung the camera strap on his neck.
"Did you just sigh? I could give you demerits for that!"
"Calvin, shut the #$ up about demerits."
"What?"
"Nothing."
Calvin and Hobbes peeked over the hedge, where Susie was playing.
"She must've gone in for lunch. Let's check out what she was playing with. Gloves?"
"Check."
"Gas masks?"
"No."
"Whaddaya mean NO?"
"Not enough room in the budget."
"OK…Tweezers?"
"Check."
"Anti- Cootie Spray?"
"If you mean Lyssol…"
"JUST SAY CHECK!"
"CHECK!"
"Ha ha, real funny. Let's go, already!"
Calvin and Hobbes walked over to the toys.
"OK, Hobbes, Here's a possible headline…WITCH PREFORMS MAGIC ON VOODOO DOLLS OF PEOPLE PAST!"
"That's not true."
"Right, right…Let's go into her room and spy on her. Gas masks?"
"Not in the budget."
"RRR…"
-----------------------------------------------------
"OK, Hobbes, grab the rope!" said Calvin. He had thrown a rope through her window and after pulling himself up and spraying the room with Lyssol (ahem…Anti- Cootie Spray), he was ready to pull Hobbes up. "Hobbes?"
He turned around and saw Hobbes, already in the room.
"How did you do that?"
"I took the stairs."
"Sigh..."
"OK, mom, I'll be up in my room!"
"Hurry up, she's coming!"
Hobbes hid in the dresser, and Calvin hid under the bed.
Susie opened the door to her room.
"Why does my room smell like a spring meadow?" Susie said. "Ah well, I'd better write in my diary…Oh, man, I have to get Binky Betsy from outside before Calvin gets her!"
Susie ran outside, closing the door behind her.
"Come on, Hobbes!"
---------------------------------
Outside, Susie had picked up her dolls.
"Hello, tree! Thank you for giving me oxygen to breathe!"
She was hugging the tree.
Calvin, who now had the camera, jumped up and took a picture.
"RUN, HOBBES!"
Calvin and Hobbes ran like Susie was a Brussels sprout (or at least Calvin did).
"I'M GOING TO GET YOU, CALVIN!"
The chase was on!
