"Wake up!" Carmelita yelled as she kicked Bentley in the gut. But it was pointless. His mind was somewhere else. He was remembering one of the worst moments of his life. Sadly it was in his favorite class, Science.
Bentley, Murray, and Sly walked into the science classroom and sat down at one of the many tables next to each other.
"I wonder what wonders awiat us today in the magical world of science..." Bentley said to his friends gleefully.
"You say that everyday, Bentley." said Sly. "And the answer is always the same, nothing."
"You bite your tongue, Sly!" Bentley exclaimed."Science is the best class in the universe!" As Bentley finished, the substitute teacher Mr. Romner walked into the classroom. Since the school was too cheap to get good substitute teachers, they always got the cheapest one, that being Mr. Romner.
"Okay children." Mr. Romner began."Today will be an extra-super-terrific d-d-day, okay. We'll be finishing our model volcanoes, okay."
"What if they "accidentally" explode?" Roger asked smugly.
Mr. Romner started to turn red. "GET OUTTA MY CLASSROOM!" he yelled.Roger ran out, crying.
"Happens every day..." Bentley thought." I don't understand why Roger always tries to be cool."
"Speaking of volcanoes..." Sly whispered to Bentley, looking at Mr. Romner who was still red.
"Oh I get it!" Murray whispered to Sly and Bentley."Mr.Romner looks like a volcano when he's mad."
"Yeah Murray. That's why I said that..."
Mr. Romner started calm down. "Okay, now that we removed the b-b-bad apple beacuse b-bad apples like that are b-bad." Mr. Romner sputtered. "I want all of you to get into groups of four. Okay that's four.You know, one, two, three, four...okay?"
The children got into groups, with the exception of Sly,Bentley and Murray.
"Guys, all the kids are taken. What are we gonna do?" Murray asked looking around.
"Ah, that's where you're wrong, Murray. There's Joshy." Bentley said while looking at Joshy.They walked over to Joshy.
"Joshy, will you be our lab partner?" Bentley asked.
"Really? You guys want to be my lab partner? That's cool." Joshy said eagerly. Sly and his friends walked to their table, while Joshy ran at full speed, which isn't very fast.
"Okay, c-class, okay, to make our volcanoes, we n-n-need to go to our c-cu-cubbies and g-get the supplies, in our cubbies, okay. You kids get 2 paper cups, and your clay volcanoes, and, your red and orange f-food coloring, which is all in your cubbies, okay, that should be good. I will pass out the r-rest. " Mr. Romner stuttered. He poured vinegar and a spoonful of baking soda into the kids' seperate cups.
"Ok-kay, class, first off, we have to pour our food coloring into our v-vol-volcanoes, okay." Mr. Romner said as he sqeezed a couple of drops into his large clay volcano.
Joshy and Bentley carefully sqeezed a few drops of the food coloring into their crooked clay volcano.
"N-next, we pour in our vinegar and b-baking soda, okay." Mr. Romner said as he poured in the ingredients. "I-if you do it right, it should foam and fizz, okay." Murray and Sly dumped the ingredients into their volcano.
"Nothing's happening, guys." Joshy moaned as he peered into the volcano. It fizzed out and burned his eyes. "AHHHHH! MY EYES!" Joshy screamed as he ran around in circles. Mr. Romner picked him up and ran to the eye wash station, but slipped and accidentally flung Joshy out of the room, sending him tumbling down a flight of stairs. All of the kids started to laugh.
"JOSHY!" Bentley screamed, waking up from his flashback. After reagaining his senses, he looked around. Carmelita was still on the computer. "Carmelita! Is Paris destroyed!"
"Oh, that, I turned off the computer. That stopped the missles, and the wall from closing." She said calmly.
"B-but, I'm the one who does the hacking! You...you just turned off the computer!" Bentley shouted.
"Calm down!" Carmelita yelled.
"NO! I CAN'T! THIS ISN'T RIGHT!" Bentley shrieked, running around until he ran into the door, which promtly opened to reveal a fat shadow.
The figure mumbled something and continued walking down the hallway.
"Great, more shadowy figures," Carmelita said. She left the room and tackled the figure down and slapped some handcuffs on it. "Who are you?" She asked.
"Huh?" The figure grunted.
"Hang on, Carmelita, you might want to look away, because I know how to get answers from people." Bentley said, walking up to the figure.
Raco and Sly contiued walking through their corridor until they came to a door with a sign on it that read: Lounge.
"I guess this is the lounge." Sly said.
"So you CAN read." Raco replied.
"Be quiet. "Maybe there are some guards to chase us around inside. We could use the exercise. Especially you."
"Oh, ha-ha, really funny." Raco said as Sly turned the doorknob. They both walked inside. Not suprisingly, the room was empty and dimly lit, except for a refridgerator, a couch, and a TV. To their suprise, a gerbil was on the couch and wathching the TV.
"Oh, here's the problem," Raco said. He flipped on the rest of the light switches, making the room easier to see. The figure turned around and awkwardly flopped over the couch. He got up and waddled over to Sly and Raco.
"You...I'd recognize that face anywhere..." He wheezed, pointing a shaking finger at Sly. "Don't think I don't remember...you...'cause I do."
"I don't know who you are and I don't want to know." Sly said.
"Oh...you do...remember me...you ruined my speech, and in turn ruined my life." The figure moaned.
"Oh, you're that guy Murray was talking about a while ago. Mr...Romner?" Sly asked.
"NO! I am Stan R. Banclacks! You ruined my life, causing me to start the C.U.B. Scouts...Company Under Banclacks! AHHHH!" Banclacks shrieked.
"So...why exactly did you start the C.U.B. Scouts again?" Raco asked,confused.
"Duh! To punish the world for mocking me and my awesome speech!"
"That's pretty stupid."
"It is NOT STUPID!"
"Well.. what exactly are you going to do now?" Sly asked.
"Duh! KILL YOU!" he said as he picked up the couch and threw it at Sly and Raco. They ran in seperate directions as the couch hit the ground. Banclacks started to rumble with fury.
"You avoided that couch just like you have been avoiding me for all these years!" Banclacks screamed.
"Avoiding you? I just remembered who you are today!" Sly replied.
"GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Banclacks yelled as he charged at Sly. Halfway between him and Sly, Banclacks tripped on the refridgerator's electrical cord and the refridgerator crashed down on him.
"Is he dead?"
"Who cares, let's get out of here,"Sly said as he ran out.
