Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Part 4
Meanwhile, the mayor and Brent were at the thing covered in tarps. Brent was eating sardines, and the mayor was talking.
"This town's too small for me Brent. I want to be big; I want people to look at me and say; that is one big mayor. That's why this has to work, IT HAS TO WORK. Otherwise I'm just a tiny mayor in a tiny town full of tiny sardine sucking knuckle scrappers" said the mayor.
"But not me, right" asked Brent with a smile.
"Oh no Brent, you've always been like a son to me" said the mayor with a fake smile. He looked away and showed a disgusted face. He cleared his throat and walked out onto the stage.
"Hey, Hey Everybody" he said, addressing the fifteen people that were there. "Under this tarp, is the greatest tourist attraction every built" said the mayor smiling.
But while everyone else was concentrated on the mayor, Flint and his machine were sneaking around. They moved behind the crowd and hid behind a small wall. "We just need seventeen thousand more gigajolts" said Flint.
"Uh, is that going to hurt" asked the machine.
"You're a machine, you can't feel pain" said Flint.
"Says you" said the machine quietly.
Flint looked behind the wall to make shure the coast was clear. "GO, GO, GO" said Flint, and he and the machine began running to the power station.
But then, someone stepped in Flint's way. Flint quickly hid the machine behind his back.
"What are you doing Flint Lockwood" asked Earl, the local police officer.
"Just uh, taking a walk, with no one behind my back, respectively, sir" said Flint.
"You know what you are Flint Lockwood; a shananaganizer, a tom fool" said Earl. "You see my beautiful angle son Cal" he asked, pointing to a kid near him.
"Sup" said Cal.
"I love him so much this is my only son. I want him to have a bright future; a future in which you don't ruin our town's day, with one of your crazy science thingies" said Earl.
"Well, that's actually all behind me now" said Flint, but Earl just kept talking.
"You see this contact lens Flint Lockwood" asked Earl, showing a contact lens. Flint nodded. "This contact lens represents you, and my eye represents my eye. I Got My Eye On You" he said, putting the lens on in a dramatic way.
"Do Something" whispered the machine, who was still hiding behind Flint.
Flint looked around, saw someone walking, and said "Oh my gosh a J walker".
Earl looked "Hey" he said, and tackled the guy. Flint and the machine quickly ran off.
Back at the unveiling, the mayor was still talking. "And I've arranged for live coverage from a major cable broadcaster, and their most experience professional reporter" he said smiling.
New York City-Yesterday
"Oh just send the inter. She's cute, and she's supper perky" said one of the TV executives.
"Well, those are the only things we look for in a TV weather person" said the producer.
He turned around to see a girl with blond hair and wearing a blue shirt and black pants carrying a tray of coffee. "Intern, how would you like to do a weather report from a rinky dink island in the middle of the ocean as a favor to my cousin" he asked.
"REALLY" she screamed, flinging her arms in the air and spilling the coffee, with one cup being caught by a camera man nearby.
Later, she and her camera man were driving through New York towards the docks. "Can you believe it Manny; temporary professional meteorologist, woo" she said happily, putting her hands up. Manny quickly took the wheel and straitened it.
Later, the two were on a boat heading towards Swallow Falls. "Okay, how about this? Hello America I'm Sam Sparks. Hello America, Sam Sparks here. America, hi, I didn't see you there; it's me Sam Sparks. On my way, across the ocean" she said happily as they neared the island.
Meanwhile, Flint and the machine had gotten to the power station. The two looked up at all the dangerous sparking wires.
"This is a great idea. Let's get you hooked up" he said to the machine.
The machine, looking scared, pressed a button on his chest, and a gulping sound was heard.
"Weather News Network; Weather News happens, or Not" said the news announcer.
"Now were over to Swallow Falls, were our intern is on her first day on the job. Or should I say, first gray on the job, looks pretty cloudy there intern" said Patrick.
Sam, realizing she was on the air, quickly smiled and turned to the camera. "Hello Sam Sparks I'm America. It's Swallow Falls degrees, and, uh, well let's just go to the mayor" said Sam. She jerked her head, and the camera looked at the mayor.
"And welcome national television audience" he said happily.
While this went on, Flint began attaching jumper cables to one another, and to the power station towers. He reached out, attached one, and was instantly electrocuted.
"Great idea hu" said the machine, who was on the ground with his arms crossed.
Back at the unveiling, the mayor turned on some music. "And now, here to cut the ceremonial ribbon, Swallow Falls favorite son…BABY BRENT" he said, and Brent walked out from behind a curtain pulling a wagon of sardines. "He's still got it folks" said the mayor.
Then, Brent ripped off his jumpsuit, and was now only wearing a diaper. The whole town cheered, but Sam looked shooked/surprised. "I'm the best person in the whole town" said Brent. Then, he tipped over the wagon, spilling the sardines, and posing like he was on the cans. "Uh oh" he said.
Flint climbed over the wall of the station, pulling two jumper cables. He ran over to the machine. "Are you ready" he asked.
The machine took a deep breath (even though he doesn't have lungs) and said "Yes, I'm ready". Then, two small rods with a small metal ball on the end came out of this shoulders. "Food Synthesis, GO" said Flint confidently.
Earl was with his family, clapping with everyone else. But then, he stopped, and his chest started moving. "My chest airs are tingling, something's wrong" he said. Then he did a backflip, and went to find out what was wrong.
"Well here it is, the attraction the whole world has been waiting for…SARDINE LAND" screamed the mayor. Brent cut the ribbon, and the tarp fell off. "With rides" said the mayor, pointing at a large sardine can that kids were being sealed into. "And exhibits" he said, showing them a sardine museum. "And featuring Shamo, the world's largest sardine" he said, pointing at a large fish bowl with a fish sized sardine in it. "And his flaming hoop of glory" he said as a hoop was set of fire above the tank. "Those of you in the splash zone, lookout" said the mayor, pointing to one person in a one-person section saying 'Splash Zone'.
Earl did many flips as he moved through the crowd. When he got to the back, he looked around. Then, he saw Flint Lockwood and his machine by the power station.
Flint took the jumper cables, and albeit slowly, attached them to the rods. "WOAH" said the machine, and seventeen thousand gigajolts ran into him. Electricity was sparking all over his body. "Cheeseburger" he said in his deep voice. Flint put a plate in front of the hole and waited, but then.
"FLINT LOCKWOOD" screamed Earl as he ran towards them.
Flint and the machine looked back and saw Earl getting closer to them. "Uh, just a second" said Flint. The machine concentrated hard to make the cheeseburger come out faster. But then, he saw words flashing in front of his eyes. They said "Rocket Shoes Activated".
"I'm in the middle of a" was all Flint could say before…WWWOOOSSSHHH!
The machine took off, and since Flint was holding onto the cables, he was dragged along behind him. "AAAWWWHHH" screamed Flint. "CREATOR, WHAT'S GOING ON" screamed the machine.
"YOUR ROCKET SHOES MUST HAVE BEEN ACTIVED BECAUSE OF THE POWER" screamed Flint. "I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD ROCKET SHOES" screamed the machine. "YA, I PUT THEM IN BECAUSE I THOUGH THEY WERE COOL" screamed Flint.
"WELL HOW DO I SHUT THEM OFF" screamed the machine. "I DON'T KNOW" screamed Flint.
The machine rocketed through town, hitting cars, and even knocking the F off the Swallow Falls sign.
"Well, looks like things in Swallow Falls are SARDINE to get better" said Sam. She was about to continue, but then the machine rocketed past here. The camera zipped out of Manny's hands, and attached to Sam's face. "Ugh" said Patrick, looking at Sam's squashed face on the screen.
"WATCH OUT" called the machine as he flew towards Sardine Land. "COMING THROUGH" called Flint.
The machine flew into Sardine Land, and then into the supports holding up Shamo's giant bowl. It rocketed around under it, and then flew out of the supports then Sardine Land. As Flint and the machine flew through the crowd, Flint saw his dad look at him for the split second he was in front of him.
The machine turned left and flew along the sidewalk. He was slowing down slightly now. "Don't worry, I'll stop you" said Flint. He dug his shoes against the pavement, but they just grinded away the concrete.
"Hurry Creator, try to destroy my shoes" said the machine.
"Right, I'll just take my wrench and" was all Flint could say before, POW! Flint smacked into a stop sign. The jumper cables detached from the machine. Then, the machine turned straight, and flew up into the sky. "CREATOR" he screamed as he flew into the clouds and out of sight.
"NO" screamed Flint, reaching his hand up. But then, Flint was tackled by Earl.
"You're under arrest Flint Lockwood. Thank Goodness, you only caused minimum damage to Sardine Land" said Earl.
But then, there was a strange groaning sound. Everyone looked over at Sardine Land. The supports for Shamo's bowl had been too damaged because of the machine, and the bowl was now falling over. Water poured out of it, covering everyone who wasn't in the splash zone. "Aw come on" said the man in the zone. The bowl then rolled towards the museum, and crushed it to bits. Then, it rolled over to the canning ride, and destroyed that. The mayor jumped off the stage as the bowl destroyed it. Everyone was running away from the destructive bowl.
"I really shouldn't be running with these" said Brent, who was still carrying the scissors.
"Run, Run" said Steve as the bowl rolled towards him and Flint. Flint ducked, and the curved up part of the bowl rolled over him. He looked up, and saw the bowl roll into two cars. Then, the two cars exploded, launching the bowl into the air. Shamo flew out of the water, and right through his flaming hoop. He smiled in delight, but then a Rat Bird snatched him and flew off.
The bowl fell downward, with the open part facing down. Then it landed, right over flint. He was now stuck inside the bowl. Townspeople swarmed the scene, and started saying things Flint was glad he couldn't hear.
But then, Flint saw his dad looking at him. He didn't say anything; he just gave him a disappointed look and slowly shook his head. Flint didn't say anything either, he just looked very sad.
The townspeople then moved away from the bowl. Flint, still sad, sadly hit his head on the bowl. But then the glass cracked, and the whole bowl fell apart. Everyone looked at Flint, who was just standing there. Then, he ran from the crowd towards the docks.
