This is a requested chapter, with the Casagrandes. A parody of the episode: Boom Boom Out Goes the Ed
At the Casagrande apartment, in apartment 3-A, Becca (wife) and Stanley (husband) were getting ready for their movie night. Becca turned on the tv. "Hurry, Stanley! Come quick! It's beginning!"
Stanley came with a bowl of popcorn. "It's nice to have our movie night while the kids are out. So Becca, this is a romantic movie, right?"
"Romantic? No this time. This is a documentary on Amazon Wildlife."
"Documentary?"
"It was my turn to choose what we watch this week, remember?"
"Oh that's right."
"Now let's watch. They're starting off with the baby jaguars."
Mr. and Mrs. Chang watched the movie. At apartment 2-A, C.J is watching a Mexican show on TV.
"Seen it." He kept changing channels as the same program was on. "Seen it. Seen it. Seen it. Seen it."
Carl and Adelaide are looking through a box of toys.
"Adelaide, don't you have any action figures?" Carl asked.
"Nope." Adelaide said.
Ronnie Anne and Sid are at the table doing their homework.
"Ugh, I wish Carlos was here to help us with this homework assignment." Ronnie Anne said, a bit stressed.
"Me too." Sid said. "But with our effort, we can still keep our grade average."
Ronnie Anne sighed. "I just need a five minute break."
"Seen it!" C.J said, still changing channels. Suddenly the lights go out.
"Hey!" Carl exclaimed. "Who turned out the light?"
"Okay, I didn't see that." C.J said. Ronnie Anne got out a flashlight.
"Are we having a blackout?" Adelaide said.
"I guess so." Sid replied.
"Let's go check the rest of the apartment." Ronnie Anne suggested. The group headed out into the darkened hallway. "Yep. It seems the entire apartment is without light. It's a power outage guys."
"What's that?" Carl pointed to a light, shining from downstairs.
"Someone taking a proactive approach, I assume." Ronnie Anne shined the flashlight in the direction of the light coming from downstairs.
"Let's go check it out." Sid said. The gang headed downstairs. One of the apartment residents, Maybelle, is shining a flashlight around the darkened building. She goes outside and the kids follow her.
"Good evening, Maybelle." Sid greeted.
"What's so good about it, kid? There's no electricity."
"Nothing to fear." Ronnie Anne assured. "It's probably the result of a sudden power surge, I suspect."
Then C.J pulled out a comic. "Oh, brain food."
Then other residents began to gather.
"Is this a joke?" Mrs. Kernicky said.
"Yeah, cause I ain't laughing." Georgia replied.
"The dark scares Nelson." Mr. Nakamura said, who was comforting his frightened dog. "And me as well."
"Uh, so who's place are we all sleeping at?" Carl wondered. Then Ronnie Anne's uncle, Carlos, showed up.
"People, people!" He got their attention. "Stay calm! There's nothing to fear. Blackouts, as they're more commonly known, are often temporary!"
C.J looked up from his comic. "Blackout?"
"Okay. So how about we all hold hands and whistle a song?" Sid suggested.
"Gang-ho!" C.J yelled horrified. He grabbed Ronnie Anne's flashlight and shined it in his face. "This is the work of the Cannibal Underground Mole Mutants! They have sucked the surface world of its power!" He checked his comic. "And now will hunt us down for Sunday supper."
Carlos stares in disbelief. "Enchanting, C.J, but do you really believe underground mole mutants are responsible for this?"
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Mr. Nakamura yelled. The residents, except Carlos, Stanley and Becca, run around in a panic. Becca talks with her husband.
"We must use the doohickey of the whatchamacallit that creates light and entertainment."
"You mean like, a generator?"
"Is this a test?"
Sid and Adelaide ran into each other, and Sid noticed their parents were missing and got worried. "Hey, where'd Mom and Dad go?"
"They were here a second ago." Adelaide said, also worried.
C.J shined the light in his face. "Freeze-dried and mechanically de-boned, they always capture the parents first."
Adelaide whimpered. "I'm scared." She hugged her big sister.
"Your parents were mere appetizers."
"What if we're next? I don't wanna be eaten!" Adelaide said worriedly.
"It says, overripe bananas and day-old hot dog buns will make them go back from whence they came."
"All this stuff's gold, Ronnie Anne!" Carl said amused.
"Gold?" Ronnie Anne said in disbelief. "Don't tell me you would think of scamming these guys out of paranoid fear, Carl!"
"Okay, I won't." Carl ran off somewhere.
Becca is forcing Stanley to drag the generator. "Come on, Stanley. We must power the generator in the manhole."
"Why in there?"
"Because there's a better power outlet."
"Wait, how do you know-nevermind."
They stare at the manhole silently.
"What?" Stanley said.
"The lid! Pry open the lid!" Becca ordered. "Must I do everything?"
"Aw, man…" Stanley crouched down.
"Get a stick, you ninny!"
"You sound like a field worker." Stanley went to look for a stick.
Carl wheels a wagon full of hot dog buns and bananas to the apartment. "Step right up and get your mole mutant repellant! Only twenty five cents!"
"Carl, please! Refrain! Desist!" Carlos said.
"One-stop shopping for all your cannibalistic mole mutant needs!"
"I'll take some of that!" Mr. Nakamura said.
"Stale hot dog buns for me!" Sid said.
"Over here, Carl!" Adelaide said. Carl's pile shrinks as his jar fills up with quarters.
"I found a crowbar instead." Mr. Chang lodged the crowbar under the manhole and strained. Mrs. Chang took over.
"Move over, Stan!" She opened the manhole easily. "I don't want to miss the baby dolphins part in the documentary."
They hoist the generator. "Use your muscles! Watch your back! Don't drop it!"
"Too late!" They fall into the hole, screaming. Miranda heard this.
"Guys, did you hear that? It came from over there!"
C.J gazed into the sewers. "A portal! They have dragged their victims into their lair to be–de-skulled." He shined the flashlight into his ear, showing his skull, and causing the residents to scream and head inside the apartment.
"All right, I've had quite enough of this nonsense!" Carlos said in annoyance. "Mole mutants indeed. I see it's up to me to prove once and for all-" He noticed Carl wasn't listening, choosing to stare at his stash. "-um, Carl?"
"Don't bug me." Carl resumes to stare at his money with joy.
"That there are no mole mutants, cannibalistic or otherwise." Carlos puts on a protective bodysuit and enters the sewers. The residents creep to the edge and look down.
"Stop, Dad! They will dine on you with fast food utensils!" Carl yelled to him.
Carlos waves a finger at his son. "C.J, hush."
"Dad's mad."
Mr. Casagrande entered the sewers. He heard the conversation of Mr. and Mrs. Chang and followed it. Suddenly, the sidewalk breaks, and he falls into the sewers. "Yuck! I'm covered in filth! It's so disgusting!" We see the others are listening at the hole. "Help!"
"They got my Dad!" C.J exclaimed. Everyone panicked except for Sid and Ronnie Anne.
"Ronnie Anne, I think I have a plan."
"Really?"
"It just might be crazy enough to work. I'll tell em'! Hey, everybody! I've got a brainstorm!" Everyone looked at Sid and C.J casted the flashlight on her.
"Give it to us straight, Sid!" C.J said.
Stanley is dragging the generator through the sewers. Becca sat on top of it. One of Carlos' calls was heard.
"What was that?" Stanley wondered.
"Only I listen." Becca put blinders on Stanley and listened. "Hello?"
"Hurry, please assist!" Carlos yelled.
"Turn around, honey!" Becca ordered. "Make like the wind! A damsel in need requests our service!"
"Good lord, it's seeping into my shoes!"
In the apartment, the residents are using walkie talkies to communicate as they're all in their own apartments.
"Everybody in position?" Sid spoke through the walkie talkie as she was in the bathroom with Adelaide.
Georgia and Miranda are seen in their bathroom.
"I guess so." Miranda said.
Mrs. Kernicky is seen by her toilet. "Ready!"
"Me too!" Maybelle said.
C.J was next to a toaster. "Death to the mole mutants!"
"Ready, Sid!" Ronnie Anne said in the bathroom.
Mr. Nakamura was in position. "I hope you know what you're doing!"
"Okay, on the count of three, we all flush!" Sid ordered. "Flush like you've never flushed before! One! Two! Three!"
The residents are poised. "FLUSH!"
Becca is pinning Carlos up from the pipes.
"Thank you, Thank you Becca!" Carlos said gratefully. "C.J and his overactive imagination. Honestly, he had everyone convinced that mole mutants swarmed–"
"Stanley! No!" Becca scolded her husband. "Ay Yi Yi!" Stanley is powering the generator. Becca looked at it. "Look what you're doing! We cannot power the generator at baby! We must have good enough!"
"Gotcha." Stanley poured on the steam as Becca put in a plug. Suddenly, the ground began to rumble. A huge wave, created by the simultaneous flush, rounded the corner and headed for them.
"Honey!" Stanley got scared.
"Oh my." Becca looked worried.
"Uh, can somebody get me down from-" Carlos began to say but the wave slammed into them. On the surface world, manholes are beginning to shake. The residents went back out.
"It's working!" Sid exclaimed. Geysers of water erupt from the Earth.
"Yeah!" C.J said. Carl is blown up by one in the process. C.J tried to catch his brother as he fell. "I gotcha, Carl!"
Carl fell on top of C.J. In another spot, Stanley and Becca fell to earth, with Stanley hitting the ground first.
"Wait." Becca moves Stanley above him. "I fall first." The citizens gather around the Chang parents, happy.
"Mom! Dad! You're okay!" Adelaide said happily and hugged her mother.
"Alright, who's the wise guy?" Stanley asked angrily.
"It was Sid's idea!" Adelaide told them. "She saved us from the mole mutants! She's a hero!"
A streetlight came on, spotlighting the gathering. The residents cheered. The rest of the street's power returned and so did the apartment power. They went back inside the apartment.
"Curling tongs, here I come!" Georgia said happily
"Hero, hero! I'm a hero!" Sid cheered.
"Now we can finish that spaghetti, Nelson." Mr. Nakamura said to his dog.
"Let's relax and get back to that Amazon Wildlife movie, honey." Stanley said, pushing his wife.
"I push." Becca pushed Stanley. Carl, C.J, and Ronnie Anne were still outside. Carl stood in the middle of the light. He is staring at a familiar pair of glasses. He dragged C.J over.
"Guys, look! Our Dad has been done for!"
"But it's almost the end of the chapter, C.J." Carl said, breaking the fourth wall.
"I know, Carl."
Carl was mournful. "I just can't believe it." Then he got happy. "I STILL GOT CASH, BUDDY BOY! FOR ONCE IN MY STINKING LIFE, I'M IN THE BLACK! Cha-ching!"
Ronnie Anne was surprised. "Carl!"
A figure growled and rose from the sewers. It walked toward the three kids.
"MOLE MUTANT!" C.J grabbed Carl's jar and heaved it at the figure. It smacked the shadow dead on and sent it stumbling back into the sewers. The creature, Carl's money, and Carl's jar fell into the murky waste below the manhole.
"C.J!" Carl said sadly.
"Run away!" C.J grabbed Carl. "It will eat us!"
The kids ran inside their apartment and blocked the front door.
"Let me out of here!" Carl tried to get out.
"What's going on, guys?" Sid wondered.
"The mole mutant is on the loose!" C.J panicked.
"Let me out or else!" Carl demanded.
"Can't do that Carl! Not while one mole mutant walks this earth, drooling for its next victim!"
Then Ronnie Anne heard growls come from the bathroom. "Guys, there's something in the bathroom!"
They check it out. The toilet lid flapped open.
"It's found us!" C.J yelled. The kids run into the living room and huddle together. The creature exited the bathroom.
"MOLE MUTANT!"
The mole mutant sneezes, and some filth flies off. The mutant is none other than Carlos.
"Bless me."
"It's just Dad, dummy." Carl said.
"DAD!" C.J grabbed his father in a bear hug. "Upchucked and undigested! We are as one once again."
"Yes, it's good to see you too." Carlos said. "Have you seen my glasses?"
"Here you go." C.J handed them over.
"Now I have a strict decontamination regimen to implement."
"Oh no you don't!" Carl got in front of Carlos. "We're going back into that sewer to get my cash, got it?"
"Not so fast, buckos!" C.J read the comic. "It may be days before it is safe to go...um...outside, as we will be the last humans on earth, living on grubs and stale marshmallows."
"Gimme that stupid thing!" Carl chased after C.J. "Yeah, you better run!"
Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes.
"Oh, for Pete's sake." Carlos said and let himself out of the apartment.
"But Carl, it's a collectors issue!"
"Oh yeah? Well, collect this!"
Carlos reached back in and turned off the lights. The colors go negative.
"Hey, who turned out the light?" Carl panicked.
