Chapter 19: Payback time
"Manuel Pablo Gutierrez O'Brian Equia Rivera!" Rodolfo yelled. "You've really done it this time!"
"All I did was throw a water balloon on the school." Manny argued.
"Yeah. One the size of Manhattan! Look at this bill! As punishment you're going to pay me back!"
"But Dad-"
"No it's final!"
Manny walked out of his house hanging his head in depression. Then he walked by Sartana's house.
"Django Ricardo Jose Estaban of the Dead! Just wait til you're mother hears about this!" Sartana screamed.
"Come on Nana!" He heard Django say.
The door flung open and Sartana tossed Django on the side walk.
"And don't come home until you pay back every last penny!"
She slammed the door.
"Hey, what happened to you?" Manny asked.
"I..I..uh accidentally blew up some of Nana's treasure."
Manny raised his eyebrow in disbelief.
"Okay a lot of it! Anyway I have to pay her back."
"Same here, except I have to pay for damage. So any ideas?"
"I know let's sell stolen property."
"No."
"Okay...how about chocolate?"
"Good idea."
So they took a bag of chocolate bars and went to the first house.
(Knock-knock)
The door opened and a man came out.
"Can I help you?" He asked.
"Hello sir, would you like some chocolate?" Manny asked.
"Chocolate? Did you say chocolate?"
"Yes sir, with or without nuts?" Django said.
"Chocolate! Chocolate! CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE!
Manny and Django started to back away slowly then they took off running and the man chased after them. An hour later they came back with no chocolate with torn clothes, scratched faces, and no money.
"That guy was a lunatic!" Django said. "He ate that chocolate so fast that he bit my head!"
"Hey you got something wedged in your skull."
Django pulled it out.
"Oh my God! It's his tooth! He lodged one his teeth in my head!"
"Okay no more selling chocolate to crazy maniacs." Manny said looking at his ripped shirt. "Now what?"
"Let's try a car wash."
But they ended up breaking the windows. Then they tried dog walking but all the dogs kept burying parts of Django's body. Those two tried one thing after another but it failed.
"Oh man! This sucks! Hey spike give me back my leg!"
"Okay so far we have made nothing."
"Stupid dogs! Always stealing my body parts!"
"Django, we're never gonna make the money at this rate."
"So we get money the fast way...gambling."
They went to Calavera and placed bets. All the villains bet money, gold, and weapons. They played for 5 hours straight with Manny and Django wining every time.
"Awesome! We win again!" Manny laughed.
"We'll take our winings now." Django said.
"Wait a minute man! Your dice are loaded!" El Oso said.
"Loaded? Django!"
"What? You know I never play fair."
The villians glared at them and started attacking. Manny spun his belt and Django strummed his guitar. The two boys were pounded by one villians after another. It was a medly of pain.
"You just had to cheat!" Manny groaned.
"I'm sorry! I can't resist cheating!"
Manny looked over at the pile of stuff that had been better on. One of them was a stick of dynamite.
"Django! Pass me a lighter!"
He tossed it to him.
"Any last words man!"
"Uh four actually." Manny lighting the fuse. "Fire in the hole!"
Then an explosion went off launching Manny, Django, and the stuff back to Miracle City.
"Sweet! We made it! And we have enough money and gold to pay back our folks, right Django..Django? Django?"
"Help! Spike has my head!"
