Ch. 4
Tornado
Courage watched down the road, looking by for signs of any sort.
"I HAVE TO PEE!!!"
Courage stopped the car near a bush. Eustace walked out of the truck. Courage waits next to the truck. A moment later they are back on track.
"I HAVE TO PEE!!!"
Courage stopped the truck near a burger joint. He took Muriel's hand and dragged her to the bathroom. Courage waits next to her bathroom stall. They return to the truck.
"IM HUUNGRY!"
Courage took them to that burger joint.
"What will you have, dog?" The cashier raised an eyebrow.
Courage babbled incoherently.
"Okay, the kids meal. What will you have, missus?"
"I want a burger! I want fries! I want a milkshake! I want candy! I WANT CARAMEL SQUARES!!!"
"Okay, the chicken sandwich combo for you. How about you, little boy?"
"I want dinner!"
"Okay, the big beef combo for you. That'll be 18 bucks."
Courage pulled on his golden tooth and held it out. The cashier accepted it. He put Eustace and Muriel onto the rotating chairs next to the railtable. They received their orders and Courage began to eat his kiddy meal when he heard burps. The children already devoured everything. Courage took a large bite into his burger and whined as they were gobbling his fries.
After a long drive, they made it down to Mexico through a straight 5 hour drive. Now all he had to do was to find a tornado. He decided to communicate to the locals.
He found a newspaper stand by the side of the road. Courage walked over and showed the owner a card with a tornado.
"Si, donde-"
The Latin pointed to the west.
"Yes!"
Courage booted up the engine and drove as fast as he could. He spotted a tornado. He parked the car near to it and ran.
"Are we at Disney World yet?" Eustace was angry.
The tornado wound the truck up into the sky. Courage watched and hoped as the truck fell through the top of the tornado. The truck soon fell in midair. Towards Courage.
He shrieked and ran out of the way. He panted and sighed with relief. He found the truck above him again.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!!"
The truck slammed onto Courage. He slid from under the truck pitifully and simply cackled with laughter.
Courage and his owners are back home, safe and sound again. He lied on Muriel's lap as she swung back and forth with her rocking hair. Eustace read his newspaper on the couch. The TV emitted a comforting glow. Eustace lowered his paper.
"Hey Muriel! You're a lady, right? Cook me dinner!"
"I'm sorry Eustace, but I'm not hungry, and neither is Courage."
"Were you rich when you were little?"
"Well, no…"
Eustace cried out with laughter. Courage got out a rolling pin and bonked him on the head.
"OW! What did I do?"
Courage giggled.
