Calvin and Hobbes: Revenge of the Babysat 2!

NOTE: THIS IS THE SEQUEL TO THE CALVIN AND HOBBED COMIC BOOK, REVENGE OF THE BABYSAT. THIS IS MY TAKE ON THE SEQUEL, SINCE BILL WATTERSON DIDN'T MAKE A SEQUEL TO REVENGE OF THE BABYSAT. CALVIN IS A SPIKY HAIRED SIX-YEAR OLD KID, WHO HAS AN OVERREACTIVE IMAGINATION, AND HOBBES IS A TIGER, BUT WE SEE HIM AS A REAL TIGER ONCE CALVIN'S AROUND HIM. ENOUGH CHAT! LET THE STORY BEGIN!!

Calvin and Hobbes were in the living room, sitting on the couch, watching cartoons, and eating their dinner. Calvin is eating grilled cheese sandwiches, while Hobbes is eating a huge can of tuna.

"This is the life, Hobbes." Calvin said as he took a bite out of his grilled cheese sandwich.

"Eating dinner in the living room while we're watching the tube. Now, this is what American families should do all the time."

Hobbes laughed hysterically.

"Did you see the anvil crushing that guy? It was hysterical!"

"Yep. Tonight is going to be good, Hobbes, and nothing is going to ruin it."

Just then, Mom and Dad came into the living room, dressed. Mom was wearing a long, black silky dress, high heels, crystal earings, and makeup.

Dad wore a red tuxedo, brown loafers, cologne, and his hair was smooth, and not messy.

They stood in front of the TV.

"HEY! Why are you guys dressed? Are we going to throw a party?" Calvin asked eagerly.

"No, Calvin." Mom said.

"We're going out to dinner tonight, and..."

"Rosalyn is going to babysit Hobbes and I?" Calvin finished the sentence.

"THIS WHOLE THING WAS A TRAP! RUN, HOBBES, RUN!!"

Calvin dropped his plate of grilled cheese on the coffeetable. Then, he grabbed Hobbes, and ran out of the living room.

"Dear, grab him! He's running away!" Mom ordered.

Dad ran past the fireplace, past the colored television, and the worried Mom, and left the living room...only to find Calvin and Hobbes outside, hiding in the trash can.

10 minutes later, Dad walked back into the house, carrying the smelly Calvin and Hobbes.

"Great...now you need a shower." Dad said as he went downstairs in the basement, and threw Hobbes in the washing machine. Then, he carried the squirming Calvin upstairs for his bath.

"LET ME GO! YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME WITH ROSALYN! SHE'S EVIL! EVIL! EVIL..."

20 minutes later, Calvin was in the bathroom, taking his bath. Hobbes was with him.

"I don't believe this, Hobbes! The creature from the black lagoon is back...why does she make our lives miserable when Mom and dad are gone?! This is tyranny!!"

"Maybe if you stop griping, she will be a little nicer to you." Hobbes muttered.

"WHAT WAS THAT??!"

"Nothing...forget it." Hobbes replied, rolling his eyes.

Meanwhile, Mom and Dad are talking to Rosalyn.

"Calvin is upstairs taking a bath. Make sure he takes one." Mom explained.

"Also, he ate dinner early, so you don't have to cook for him."

"Thank goodness." Rosalyn said.

"Also, we'll be at that fancy resturant downtown until 8:00. Then, we'll be at the movies, and we'll be back at 11:45."

"If there's any emergencies, The emergency numbers are on the counter in the kitchen...my cell phone number is on there in case Calvin is out of control again...oh, and help yourself to anything in the fridge."

"Let's go, dear. I made reservations." Dad whined.

Mom laughed. "Ok, honey. Bye, Rosalyn, and tell Calvin to behave this time."

"Ok, bye, have a nice time." Rosalyn waved to Mom and dad in the car. Mom and Dad waved back as the car drove away. Rosalyn slammed the door, now that Mom and Dad are gone.

"I don't believe this...I can't believe that I'm missing my senior prom because of rat boy over there...oh, Charlie, forgive me." Rosalyn said. Charlie is Rosalyn's boyfriend.

Rosalyn ran upstairs to check on Calvin.

Meanwhile, Calvin is still in the tub, and Hobbes was still in the bathroom with him.

"I wonder if she's still steamed about last time." Calvin wondered.

"You mean, when you flushed her study notes down the toilet?" Hobbes asked.

"I REALLY didn't do it! I did it to teach her a lesson: Never mess with Calvin and Hobbes!"

"But still...I wonder if she's still mad about that." Hobbes wondered.

Suddenly, the bathroom door swing open, and there stood Rosalyn, steamed.

"Yep. She's still mad about last time." Calvin said.

Rosalyn walked up to Calvin, who was still in the tub.

"Listen you. I don't like you, and you don't like me, but if you cooperate with me tonight, I will forgive you about last time. Got it?"

Calvin was about to say "Yes", but then he thought: Calvin doesn't do nice! Then, he wonders: What would Spaceman Spiff say? Suddenly, Calvin turned into Spaceman Spiff!!

Spaceman Spiff is on Planet Vovikials, translation: Planet Babysitter. Where alien kids are being tortured by alien babysitters!! Spaceman Spiff hates aliens, but he doesn't like to see those alien kids being tortured to death, so he must he do something! he was in a tub of grease. He's hiding in there until he jumps onto one of the babysitters. He heard footsteps apporaching to the tub og grease. very quickly, Spiff jumped out of the tub of grease, jumped 30 feet into the air, and then he jumped on one of the alien babysitters! SUCCESS!

Calvin jumped out of the tub, covered in soap, and jumped on Rosalyn's back. Rosalyn shrieked as she ran out of the bathroom, trying to get Calvin off her back.

"I think I should hit the hay early today." Hobbes said as she walked out of the bathroom and into Calvin's room.

"CALVIN, GET OFF ME, YOU LITTLE TWERP!! GET OFF!" Rosalyn shook and shook, but Calvin was strong.

"Nice try, alien babysitter!" Calvin said.

"Now that I have you, you're now going to be blown to bits by my laser ray! Any last words before I blow you into popcorn chicken bits?"

Rossalyn thought about this for a second....then, she smiled...she has an idea.

"Yeah...I do have one thing to say...barf."

Calvin suddenly got off of Rosalyn's back.

"FOOL! You knew my weakness! You know I Can't stand the word barf! I have been...defeated." Rosalyn got out a towel, wrapped it around Calvin, and then, she took Calvin to0 his room.

"LET ME GO! YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET THIS! YOU"RE REALLY GOING TO REGRET THIS! LET ME GO, YOU SORRY EXCUSE FOR A BABYSITTER! I BET YOUR BARK IS BIGGER THAN YOUR BITE! STOP..."

Five hours later, Mom and dad came home. 11:45 on the dot.

"We're home." Dad said.

"Rosalyn, was calvin good tonight?" Dad asked.

Rosalyn was watching TV. She turned it off, and looked at Mom and dad, giving them the evileye.

Mom and dad were about to speak, when Rosalyn in terrupted.

"I missed my prom, because I have to babysit your kid. The kid was out of control. Now, since you two made me miss the important night of my life, I want a raise..."

"How about 15 bucks?" Dad asked Rosalyn.

There was silence.

"25?"

Silence.

Mom was rummaging through her wallet.

"I'll give you...500 dollars, a stick of gum, and a chocolate bar, but this is all I have, Rosalyn."

Rosalyn sighed. "Deal." She took the 500 dollars, the stick of gum, the chocolate bar, and Dad's 25 dollars, and she left the house.

Mom and Dad sat on the living room couch, sighing.

"Calvin is in so much trouble once he wakes up tomorrow." Mom said.

Dad looked at his wallet. He sighed again.

"I've never seen anything so empty in my life..."

"Well, your hair's almost empty." Mom said as she went upstairs to change into her PJ's.

Dad sighed once more.

Calvin and Hobbes were in bed. Calvin was in his PJ's.

"Tonight was....special." Hobbes said.

"Rosalyn beat me again..." Calvin said as he stood on his bed.

"She may have beaten me in another battle, but this is NOT the end of the war....WHOAAAAAAAAA..." Calvin lost his balance, fell backwards off his bed anf fell hard on the ground.

"OW...just you wait, Rosalyn!"

"Folks, I say that this is a happy ending, but that's my opinion. What is yours?" Hobbes asjed. Then, he held up a wooden board, 3 inches long, 5 feet wide, and in red paint, it said, "THE END".

    In the very beginning, after the introduction, you wrote: "Calvin and Hobbes were in the living room, sitting on the couch, watching cartoons, and eating their dinner. Calvin is eating grilled cheese sandwiches, while Hobbes is eating a huge can of tuna." You switched from past tense to present tense. Then you switched back in the next line. Be careful of that.

    Then you wrote: "I REALLY didn't do it! I did it to teach her a lesson: Never mess with Calvin and Hobbes!" This sounds awkward. It contradicts itself.

    All and all, this was pretty good. It was a creative story and a good spin-off of a popular cartoon. There were a lot of errors, between not capitalizing "Calvin" in one part and words like "to0". It just needs a little polishing. Errors aside, it's very imaginative, and that is key. The ending is unrealistic, what with the five-hundred dollar bill and the dialogoue spoken by mature adults, but it was amusing. I liked it. Good work. Smile

    Very good sequel. I liked that you made a sequal of the comic. The last paragraph where it said [Hobbes asjed], it should be Hobbes asked. Well, that's all.
