"Okay, let's go," said Oscar, once they had managed to sneak off. It had taken them a bit to find a quiet place, but they had done it.
"Wait, what's the plan again?" asked Otis.
"Have you forgotten it?" incredulously asked Oscar.
"No, I just, uh, want to be sure." said Otis.
"Okay," said Oscar, unconvinced, "Here's the plan: Since our team, Charlie Brown's All-Stars, is losing, we won't be getting the trophy legitimately."
"Yes, yes, I got that," said Otis, "It's how we're gonna get it that's confusing me."
"Alright. They're keeping the trophy under lock and key over by the scoreboard. We need you to go over there, and take out the Unlock-inator. Then, you take out the trophy, use the Duplicatorinator on the trophy, put the duplicate in the box, reclose the box, and get out of there. Don't let anyone see you."
"Alright, I've got this," said Otis. And, Otis did indeed have it. He followed the directions to a T. He went over there, unlocked the box, took out the trophy, used the Duplicatorinator on the trophy, and returned the duplicate to the box. I mean, I say "returned", even though it had technically never been in the box. However, since it was an exact duplicate of the original, it had functionally been in the box, even though it hadn't. Anyways, he then went to get out of there. And he did.
However, the boys had made a mistake. You see, all of this was wholly unnecessary. For, as the world famous announcer would tell you: "This is the highest scoring game I've ever seen in my career!". And guess what side was causing this high scoring? That's right, the All-Stars. They had pulled ahead, for a score of 70-47. This was all thanks to the hard work of Oona and Olympia, who almost single handedly carried the team. So, in the end they won. But, when they were to be presented the trophy…
"What's this?" cried Charlie Brown, "We finally win a game, and this is the trophy?" You see, they presented the trophy still in the box, to then be opened. And so, they didn't know, until Charlie Brown opened it on the field, that the trophy had been changed into just a rock. The rock didn't even look like a trophy.
Oscar hurried to Otis, and asked him, "What gadget did you use?"
"The Duplicatorinator, just like you said," said Otis.
"Let me see that." said Oscar. Otis gave him the gadget, and Oscaar turned it over. "This isn't the Duplicatorinator!" Oscar said.
"What do you mean?" asked Otis, "It's number 246, which is the Duplicatorinator's number."
"This gadget isn't number 246," said Oscar. He then scraped a bit off the bottom of the gadget, and said, "This is gadget 248. And gadget 248 is…"
"The Make-A-Temporary-And-Exact-Duplicate-Of-Something-But-It-Turns-Into-A-Melted-Pile-Of-Chocolate-If-The-Total-Score-For-A-Baseball-Game-That-Is-Happening-Within-A-Seven-Mile-Radius-Exceeds-116-Points-inator!" They both said in unison.
"Man, we really need to start giving gadgets shorter names," said Oscar.
"Hey, don't look at me," said Otis, "Also, why do we have that one?"
"It's in case you need a duplicate of something, but are willing to give it up if the total score of a baseball game nearby is really high, and so you need chocolate to celebrate this high scour. Obviously." said Ocar, as if it was the most simple thing in the world.
"Well, at least we have the trophy," said Otis, "Let's go and meet back up with Oona and Oympia."
And so, with that, they left the area, to go back to Charlie Brown's house, where they would meet back up with Oona and Olympia. But, as they left, they could hear Peppermint Patty say: "Well, Chuck, you don't win a baseball game for years. Then you are winning, and it gets rained out. And now you finally win, but the trophy gets turned into melted chocolate. You can't do anything right, can you?".
