Darkwarrior17: Thanks a lot for the review.
Okay, "True C and H fan"… You need to stop eating so much sugar. You have serious problems if any piece of writing you don't like you have to flame it. Please do not do this again.

Chapter 5: The Chase, And The Plan
"Are Paige and Nicole ever going to come out?" whined Jason. Then something sticking out of Marcus's backpack caught his attention.
"Marcus, what's that?"
"That, my friend, is my latest invention." Marcus pulled out some tubes and elastic cords. He quickly snapped them together.
"This, is a water balloon launcher." Marcus explained. "But, unlike those wimpy store-bought things, this shoots a balloon at 80 mph."
"Wow," said Jason, impressed.
"C'mon, give it a try."
"OK."
After putting a huge red balloon in, Jason pointed at the blue sky and fired…

"Calvin, you get back here at once!" screamed Mom, dashing out the door.
"You'll never capture me alive, evil Zogwart queen!" screamed Calvin.
"We'll see about that!"
Calvin's mom tore after Calvin, who fled, clutching Hobbes. He bent down and, with his free hand, picked up a pile of pine cones, throwing them at his mother as he ran. He passed Susie's house. Susie was outside playing with her stuffed rabbit, Mr. Bun.
"Hi Calvin, wanna play-"
"Shut up!" Calvin yelled as he sprinted past, flinging a pine cone at her, and making a mental note to give himself a bottle cap of valor for with holding G.R.O.S.S's law. He passed the bus stop, and dashed on to a random street that he had never been on before. With his mom still chasing him, he streaked past houses and houses, panting for breath all the while. He looked up and saw a red bullet emerging from the sky. As it got bigger he realized that is was a water balloon.
"Gotcha!" shouted Mom as she snatched Calvin by the collar of his shirt.
SPLOOSH. The water balloon fell from the sky and hit her, making her drop Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin didn't know where the balloon had come from, and he didn't care. He skedaddled in to a random yard and hid behind a bush. Just then Calvin's dad came driving up in his car. He rolled down his window and called to Mom,
"Come on, Honey. Calvin can walk home. He's got to build some-"
"Character, I know. Just get me home and give me some aspirin."
As the car drove off, Calvin turned to Hobbes.
"Well, that worked out well, don't you think?"
Hobbes just stared at him.

"Okay, here's the plan. We split up, and sneak to different sides of the tree house. Peter, you take the left, Nicole, right, and I'll go behind. Peter, you throw a water balloon to distract them, and then Nicole and I will open fire. When they focus their attention on us, you attack, and visa-versa."
"One question." Said Peter. "Do we have to say all this through the walkie-talkies?"
"Yes, Peter! How else do you plan attacks?"
"Whatever."
"Oh, Paige?" said Nicole."
"Through the $# Walkie-Talkies!"
"Okay, okay, chill out," she said through the walkie-talkie." Does Jason have any friends that we have to worry about him calling up for reinforcements?"
"No, not really, besides Marcus. Unless you count that "girlfriend" of his, Eileen."
"Okay, good."
"Ready to carry out the plan?" Asked Paige.
"No, I'm hungry," said Peter.
"Okay, fine. After lunch, then?"
"Right."
