I only own Lee, Joe, Jake and Josh. And just so you all know, you won't know why it's called "The Noodle Incident" until the end of the story. I'm just going to say that it's very different from the other versions on this site.

November 18th…
"Uh… Hi…Uh… Uh…" Calvin stammered as Moe stepped out of the shadows. "Nice… To… Uh… See… You… G-guys… I guess…"
"Hi Twinky!" Moe said as he approached his favourite victim. "C'mon guys! Let's give Twinky an advance one on his beating."
Almost instantly, Moe's three goons came out of the shadows. The three were identical triplets. They weren't as strong or mean or even as smart as Moe, but they were loyal. They wore identical sweaters with their initials on them so people could tell them apart. But since their names were Josh, Jake, and Joe, nobody was sure what the point of the shirts are..
"Oh. Hi guys. What're the chances?" Calvin said quickly. "I gotta go. Nice chatting with you."
And with those words, Calvin began to run away for safety, only for one of the triplets to immediately grab Calvin by the collar.
"Good grab Jake!" Moe encouraged.
"My name's Joe." Joe said as he lifted Calvin off the ground.
"Whatever. Just take some money and let him go. We've still got that meeting." Moe ordered.
"It's nine O'clock at night. Why would I have money?" Calvin said before realizing something. "Wait a second. What meeting?"
"We got a card telling us to meet someone for some kind of job." One of the other triplets explained.
"So did I!" Calvin replied. "Did it promise you a three week vacation, clean permanent record, and money?"
The four bullies looked at each other. Moe shook his head, causing Joe to put Calvin down.
"Oh thank god." Calvin said before a limousine pulled over across the street.
The five turned to see a boy step out. He didn't seem any older than seven years old. Despite his age, the child wore a whit tuxedo and a black Bow tie. He wore a white bowler hat over his black wavy locks. Calvin had seen him around school in the recent past. He just didn't know the guy's name.
"Hello everybody." Said the kid.
"Hi Colonel Saunders." Calvin replied as a reference at the kid's wardrobe.
The kid was not amused. "Ha ha."
"Who are you?" Moe asked.
"My name will not be revealed until we've all reached an agreement."
"Weren't you the villain in one of the Oklahoma Jones movies?" The triplet, who hadn't spoken yet throughout the story, asked.
"No Joshua, I was not the villain in a Oklahoma Jones movies." The kid answered.
"Uh… my name's Josh." Josh replied.
"I know!" The kid said.
"Well then, why'd you call him Joshua?" Jake questioned.
Calvin, Moe, and the kid all stared at Jake and Josh's incredible stupidity. The triplets just looked around wildly wondering why the others were staring.
"I am not even going to reply to that comment." The kid replied. "Let's just get to the point. The job I want you to pull is a heist."
"A heist? As in a robbery?" Calvin questioned.
"No. By heist, I meant cleaning my living room." The kid said sarcastically.
"Why would I want to clean your living room?" Joe asked.
As Moe slapped Joe in the head, the kid began to explain his plan. "We are going to break into the school and steal some important stuff. Answer Books, Permanent Records, Marks, stuff like that. The things they need. I've planned it out to the last detail. It will succeed and the school will be tossed into utter carnage and we will be given a few weeks off."
"So if we get caught, we will get detention and be arrested?" Calvin said.
"Probably. But we won't be caught. I've planned it out perfectly." The kid replied.
"Alright." Moe answered. "I'm in."
"So are we!" Jake added.
Calvin thought for a second. This could end up backfiring big time. But on the other hand…
"I'll do it."
"Excellent. My name is Lee Gordon. I'll meet up with all of you tomorrow to discuss the details."
"By the way, don't you know that you're not supposed to wear white after Labour Day." Calvin added.

November 18th…
Calvin climbed a tree to the roof of his house. He began to head for his bedroom window, where Hobbes almost immediately greeted him.
"So, what happened?" Hobbes asked.
"The person didn't show." Calvin lied as he took off his jacket and crawled into bed. "I waited for a while and then left."
He didn't want anyone else to know what he was involved in. Not even Hobbes.
12:41
November 19th…
Calvin ate his lunch across from Susie as usual. As he grabbed a jelly sandwich, he decided to do his favourite lunchtime activity.
"I swear my sandwich is moving." Calvin said.
Calvin then put the sandwich ahead of his mouth and started flapping the sandwich. Then, in a very phoney accent, he began to speak.
"Okay, sheriously. I am sho hungwy, ich ishn't even funny. Vut I am a shandwich. Sho I am unavle cho eat. I sheriously wish zat I hash shome cheesh right now. Zen I could eat all I vanch."
Susie stared for a second before getting up to leave. She wasn't even sure what Calvin was saying. And something told her that she didn't want to know.
Smiling from his comic genius, Calvin began eating in satisfaction. That had been fun.
Suddenly, a paper airplane hit his lunch table. Calvin looked around and then read it.
"Meet me by the Cafeteria Entrance. Now!!!
Lee"
Calvin stood up and headed for the Cafeteria entrance. He went to the entrance where he found Lee wearing a similar outfit to the one from the other night, except this time in black.
"Did you just come from a funeral?" Calvin asked.
"Ha hah!" Lee said sarcastically. "I've got something for you. In a couple of hours, the custodian will come to clean the cafeteria. At 2:00 clock on the dot, I want you to ask for a washroom break. The custodian keeps the keys to the school in his jacket pocket. When he cleans, he always removes his jacket and places it in the janitor's closet. I need you to sneak in there and nab those keys."
Calvin stared for a second. "How did you know all that?"
"When I said that'd planned it out perfectly, I meant it." Lee stated.
Calvin began to look around wildly, uncomfortable at Lee's unusual knowledge of the janitor's schedule. "Oh look." Calvin said scornfully as he pointed at a copy of the week's menu. "Noodles on Friday again? What is up with our school budget?"
"Calvin, you may leave." Lee stated.
"Thank you!" Calvin said as he ran into the cafeteria. Before he could sit down at his table however, Calvin suddenly paused and ran back to Lee.
"Engarde Zorro." Calvin said as he began waving an imaginary sword at the child, causing Lee to gaze furiously at Calvin.
"Just had to do it, Lee! See ya soon." Calvin chuckled as he left.
14:00
November 19th…
Calvin watched frantically as the clock ticked. As it struck 2 O'clock, he raised his hand. "Ms. Wormwood! Can I go to the washroom?"
"I'm not falling for that again." Wormwood answered.
"Uh, fall for what?" Calvin asked.
"You say that you're going to the washroom, so you can sneak out of school and go home."
"Now, come on." Calvin said. "Am I really dumb enough to try that a fifth time?"
"Yes!" Susie pointed out.
"I'm not asking you!" Calvin stated. "C'mon Ms. Wormwood. I'm ready to burst."
Wormwood sighed. "Fine. You can go."
Calvin jumped out of his desk and ran out of the classroom. He was going to get those keys or die trying.
And so I introduce my Original Character, Mr. Lee Gordon. He will be a recurring character in all my future Calvin and Hobbes stories.
