We don't know whether its type combination will be unique or not. Drapion was the first Poison/Dark type revealed, but its typing was never unique because Stunky and Skuntank were introduced in the same generation. That's not the reason, since evolution families are included on this page; the real reason is that we don't know the full Gen VI dex, so there might be unrelated Pokemon that are also its type. In any case, the page is already locked to everyone except admins, so I don't see the point in bringing this up on the talk page. You're not missing anything; it is definitely a first for its typing. In '97, Dudley didn't do right. 21:24, 5 July 2013 (UTC) It's the first one revealed, but as far as I know, we've been waiting to put "unique type" trivia on the new Gen VI Pokemon because we don't know whether another Pokemon with the same type will be revealed. We have to wait till the entire dex is out. Because there could be a new mon that isn't related to Litleo but has the same typing. No. It is possible that there are more Pokémon with that type combination in Generation VI, a la Drapion and Stunky family in Generation IV. We can't assume until we know the rest of the generation's Pokémon. What if actually some more Pokémon are going to have this combination? The only known Dark/Ground Pokémon. But keep in mind that Black and White might introduce other Dark/Ground Pokémon. I think we should probably leave it out since if it turns out there are more we'd have wasted time.

Darksilvania Just here to say Im not interested in giving you any of my fakemon, plz stop asking for them. ThatHappensToABook I see you've made a lot of comments asking to use people's fakemon in your game. I just wanted to suggest you could make your own~ I'm sure you've thought about it, and it would be a lot of work, but I think it would be the most original thing to do~ If you need any help, I could try to give you some inspiration, thought I'm not a very creative person. I also noticed that a lot of the people you asked reject you, so I think that if you do continue asking, you might want to look for some up for sale, and buy them instead of asking to use not-for-sale ones. People tend to be attached to their characters sometime. I don't know when you'll be back on, but I'm here to help if you ever want some ideas about fakemon~ Hetalia4Infinity They are just offering their honest opinion, no need to be snappy. psychonyxdorotheos I am being honest, not mean.Banjo Kazooie 5: The Artifical Mystics of the Magi Release Date Japanese:July 9 2014 English:July 12 2014 Worldwide:July 19 2014 Main Characters Banjo (Playable) Kazooie (Playable) Mumbo Jumbo (Playable) Humba Wignam (Playable) Rosalina Bottles Jamjars Oogeyes Archaq Smertios Recurred Characters Boggy Mrs Boggy Soggy Moggy Groggy Piggles Leaky Gobi Conga Nabnut Gnawty Horace the Warthog (New) Thumbular Motzand Jars of Repent Satan (New) Old King Koal Jinjos Chompsaurus Stompadon Snorkel Collosuem Accnoucer (New) Collosuem Assistant (New) Mr Fit Mr Vile Uunga Bunga Oogles Tribe Bunga Tribe Terry Shinobi Beavers (New) Squire Beardom (New) Wise Owl (New) Blubber Coach Hart (New) Klungo Dingpot Major Bacteria Maia (New) Hannah (New) Skater Girls (New) Teacher (New) Enemies Cluckers Hooded Grunt Flower Monster Petal Flip (New) Bearge (New) Wildernessbeast (New) Zubbas Snippers Yum Yums Gruntyorilla (New) Zalioens (New) Gruntydaytl Knight Bears (New) Catherdum (New) Cannonballs (New) Cannonaster (New) Prusonur (New) Monk Fu (New) Leopard Master (New) Owl Senshi (New) Grurobtics (New) Proachers (New) Pharoah Grunt (New) Grumppel (New) Cockroach Beehive Cursed Beehive Rocknut Tribe Snapdragon Chompas British Bearkles (New) Soldier Grizzkles (New) Dragunda Bargasaurus Soarasaurus Skeleton Teehep Alive Graveyard Whiplash Pipe Monster Sailor Grunt Flotsam Boom Box Fire Hand Fire Imps Devil Imps (New) Moltrock (New) Hommnuts (New) Grizzlers (New) Wrestler Star (New) Shadows (New) Mages (New) Sorceresses (New) Cosmic Dragon (New) Vessinces (New) Bad Heart (New) Junk from Grunty Industries Girl Skater (New) Brawny Skater (New) Superpower Trucencacy (New) Big Butt Chompa Chompa Dragonflies Sir Slush Ice Cubes Weatherman (New) Skoar Eagle (New) Lionster (New) Hydras New) Chimerre (New) Worlds Spiral Mountain Gruntila's Lair (New) Garden of Paradise (New) Treasure Trove Cove Franceshroom Beardom (New) Keagon's Dungeon (New) Terrydactyland Bearington Hart Gymnasium (New) Gobi's Oasis (New) Mad Monster Mansion Feiry Furnace (New) Rusty Bucket Bay Cosmicthertor Temple (New) Inside Body Threater (New) Cyllageblade Alley (New) Click Clock Wood 2 (New) Rainbow Collosuem (New) Gruntila's Witchy Tower (New) Bosses Gorgefeiry (New) Nippler Revenogre (New) Keagon (New) Terry Coach Worsteur (New) Targitzian Count Suckela (New) Molten Cobra (New) Cosmicthertor (New) Sumo Rikizuna (New) Cerviccoine (New) Boom Box Boss Mingy Jongo Alexandria Lyn Marcot (New) Gruntila Transformation Bonquette (Garden of Paradise) Crab (Treasure Trove Cove) Dragon (Franceshroom Kingdom) Beast (Keagon's Dungeon) Baby T-Rex and Daddy T-Rex (Terrydactyland) Lebron James (Bearington Hart Gymnasium Camel (Gobi's Oasis) Korrina (Cyllageblade Alley) Pumpkin (Mad Monster Mansion and Gruntila s Lair) Fire Imp (Feiry Furnace) Octopus (Rusty Bucket Bay) Princess Luna (Cosmicthertor Temple) Life Heart (Inside Body Threater) Bumblebee (Click Clock Wood 2) Angelica Lyn Marcot (Rainbow Collosuem) Items Blue Eggs Fire Eggs Ice Eggs Grenade Eggs Cuckoo Eggs Remote Eggs Electric Eggs (New) Rapid Eggs Toxic Eggs (New) Musical Notes Extra Honeycomb Red Feathers Gold Feathers Silver Feathers (New) Feather Pad Shock Pad Jinjos Talon Trot Runner Wading Boots Spring Up Shoes Claw Chamber Boots Ice Skates (New) Boxing Gloverang (New) Abilities Movement Jump Claw Swippe First Person View Alter Camera Zoom Move Camera Clockwise Move Camera Counter Clockwise Center Camera Behind Banjo Crouch Pause Game Forward Roll Feathery Flap Rat a Tat Rap Beak Buster Adjust Direction Flap Flip Beak Barge Fire Eggs Bounce Eggs Talon Trot Wonderwing Swimming Movement Swimming Jump Dive Adjust Heading Kick Wing Stroke Turn Sharply Climbing Move Up/Down Jump Off Drop Dpwn Aim Rise Beak Bomb Beak Buster Turn Sharply Pack Whack Wing Whack Breegull Bash Select Egg Type Camera Behind Pause Game Bill Drill Glide Failed Flip Leg Spring Beak Barge Hatch Sack Pack Shack Pack Taxi Pack Snooze Pack Faster Kick Talon Torpedo Airborne Egg Aiming Beak Bayonit ?It is not possible to complete the game without entering this world, because of the 810 note door in Gruntilda's lair. ?It is possible to complete "Grunty's Furnace Fun" and see the credits without having stepped foot in this world, a trait shared with "Click Clock Wood".

Beavis and Butt-Head Go on a Killing Spree

DISCLAIMER: The following is a work of fan fiction, incorporating characters or situations created by Mike Judge or belonging to MTV. This work is not presented for profit, nor may it be redistributed without consent of the author. I do not claim ownership or profit from these characters or situations, and use them under the fair-use rights provisions of copyright law.

Beavis and Butt-head have been friends for as long as they could remember. They've been partners in crime all of their lives. When they tried to "score" with the nuns in Las Vegas, they were together. Now today they're still Beavis and Butt-head with the same mentality.

They usually get into small trouble here and there, but now it's different. They're in some deep stuff that results in death! Or could it be that bad? I'll never tell. They have done their homework and now they're both master-mind serial killers on a rampage killing any and everything in their way, showing no mercy for no one. Their whereabouts are unknown as of right but soon the government will know.

"Why are we doing this Beavis?" Butt-head asked out of the blue.

"Because it's fun to do and what else can we do man, were 26 years old and have nothing to do, you big dummy," Beavis replied.

"Well that's that," Butt-head told Beavis.

After that the government agencies arrive at the latest crime scene of a murder of 4 people. The FBI and CSI of New York, Miami, Dallas, and Las Vegas were all working on this case in Lancaster, Texas.

"Do we have a description of the victims?" Agent Sparks asked calmly.

"No, but we're getting closer," Agent Jones replied.

What have they done to themselves? Beavis and Butt-head have turned into mass murderers. How did this happen? Who or what brought upon the sudden change? Where could they be? Their plot is simple: kill whom they hate and take hostage any witnesses. How did two very dumb kids learn to kill? Where did they learn all of this about guns? Could they have help from their close friend JT maybe?

"Did you hear that?" The SWAT team asked in unison.

"Sounded like someone shooting a gun." Lieutenant Marshall stated.

"Sorry about that guys, just a newcomer." Joey Pitts, the SWAT team captain, shouted.

If you're wondering, Beavis and Butt-head are in Arizona at their secret location under the Grand Canyon trying to figure out where to strike next.

"Yeah, let's go like kill some more people, Butt-head." Beavis insisted.

"Shut up Beavis, you are always ready to kill it takes time," Butt-head replied.

"Shut up Beavis, you are always ready to kill it takes time," Beavis said mockingly.

"Are you mocking me?" Butt-head asked.

"Well, if the shoe fits, you might as well wear it," Beavis replied.

"Shut up you doofuses." Some stranger out of nowhere said.

"Who the freak is you?" Beavis and Butt-head asked in unison in a violent manner.

"Don't worry about that, the feds are onto you guys you need to get out of here and go somewhere else. How about Maui, Hawaii? They shouldn't come and look for you there." He suggested.

"Forget Hawaii Butt-head, let's kill this snitch right now," Beavis said in a whisper.

"OK, on the count of three," Butt-head also said in a whisper.

"1, 2, 3, let's tie him up first then torture him," Beavis said.

So they tied him up and then that's when the real fun started to happen.

"You get the Uzi and I'll get my Tec-9," Butt-head told Beavis.

After that, all you saw was some man lying on the ground just leaking his internal organs out.

"Hey, at least he died trying," Beavis said humorously.

They had just shot at 50 Cent and were successful. They shot him two times in the heart, four times in the foot, five times in the head, and seven times to the torso. They was serious about their killing.

They needed to get away and do it quickly, so they went out to their safe house in Maui, by way of their private jet, BB.

When they got to their safe house in Maui, Beavis and Butt-head were caught. Their reign of terror was finally over after 8 years of murder. In those 8 years they killed more than 201 people and injured many more. They were #1 on America's Most Wanted list and now they were caught. The FBI had found $3 million in cash stashed in the house in Maui. In Arizona they found $2 million worth of cars. They found Lamborghini's, Bentley Phantom, and Mercedes.

"Now, that Beavis and Butt-head have been caught, a raise for all government agencies." President Bush gladly told everyone.

They were caught on January 1, 2006. Beavis and Butt-head were found guilty and sentenced to death by the electric chair on June 21, 2006.

So caillou parents left there house so beavis and butthead could babysit them. "hey beavis" says butthead. "lets see how bald this kid is."so beavis got out a laser pin and aimed it at caillou head. Then beavis accidently aimed it at caillou eye. Caillou yelled "oh my god!i Can't see!".

Butthead confirmed "according to our calculations. Caillou is balder than a bald eagle."

then beavis said "what do we do with his head.". Then butthead said "we should kick it!".

Beavis yells "kick it kick it kick it!" then butthead kicks caillou. Caillou says "oww! That hurts!" but they still kick caillou's head.

An hour later. caillou said "i'm hungry!". Butthead said "what should we feed him?". Beavis said "heheheh! Lets feed him a can of beans.". Butthead said "bald kids don't eat beans! Dumb ass!". So beavis and butthead turned on the stove and cooked caillou food. But surprisingly. The leaver on the pan is In a dangerous area. So caillou grab hold of the leaver and got burned a little bit. "Oww!" yelled caillou.

So after caillou ate dinner. Which was beans by the way. Caillou was holding a fork. Then caillou found a electrical socket. Beavis said "do it do it do it!". Then caillou said "what?". Butthead replied "put the fork inside the thingy you dillweed!" so caillou put the fork inside the electrical socket and got shocked. Butthead said "cool!". Caillou was laying on the floor.

Butthead said "i think we need to give it CPR." beavis said."yay! PPR!" butthead said "do I have to kiss him?". Beavis said "uhhh! I dunno! I think so!". So butthead kisses caillou. Butthead goes "uhh! What now!". Beavis says "push his chest!". So butthead pushes caillou's chest. Caillou wasn't responding. "what now buttmunch" said butthead. Beavis yelled "slap him! Slap him!" so butthead slaps caillou really hard! Caillou responded. Caillou survived.

"Damn it beavis! Caillou is alive!" said butthead. Beavis said to caillou "wanna play ball in the street." caillou said "is that dangerous?" butthead said "no! you fartmuffin! Its safe!"So they let caillou play ball in the street. Suddenly. Caillou got hit by a car.

? Follow/FavBeavis And Butthead In Bills Suck By: Kaven08 ? After their cable gets shut off due to not paying the bills, the boys have to figure out how to get some money. Rated: Fiction T - English - Humor - Words: 572 - Reviews: 6 - Favs: 5 - Published: Jan 25, 2010 - Status: Complete - id: 5695670

Beavis and Butthead are sitting on their couch, watching TV. They are watching an exercise show with nothing but females. They both start laughing.

"Check it out." Butthead says. "You can like, almost see her boobs. Uh hu huh."

"Yeah, Yeah!" Beavis says, watching with extreme interest.

Suddenly, the TV shuts off. Beavis and Butthead fall silent.

"Eh, what?" Butthead says.

"Damn it Butthead, turn it back on! Now!" Beavis screams.

"Shut up, dumbass." Butthead says. "I didn't do it."

"Then who did it?" asks Beavis, clearly upset.

Suddenly, a knock at the door grabs their attention. Butthead gets up and moves over to the door, opening it. On the other side is a man in a suit.

"Hi, I'm Ed from the cable company. Our records show you haven't paid your bills in over 3 months, so we cut your service."

"Uh huh huh. How do we get it back?" Butthead asks.

"Well, you could start by giving me some money now." The represenative replies.

"One minute dude." Butthead says, and then closes the door. Butthead walks back to Beavis, and they both laugh.

"Hey Beavis. Uh huh huh. Where do we keep the money?" Butthead asks.

"Um..." Beavis replies, and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a dollar and a few pennis. "Here." He says, handing them to Butthead.

Butthead opens the door and hands the dollar bill and change to the represenative. "Uh, here you go." Butthead says.

The represenative sighs. "This isn't enough. Your bill is thirty-eight dollars." The represenative says.

"Eh. How about we like, pay you back next month. Uh huh huh."

"No, we need the money now. You are already 3 months behind."

"Eh, ok. We'll like, have the money tomorrow." Butthead says. The represenative nods and then walks away.

Butthead walks back to Beavis. Beavis looks to him.

"What happened Butthead?" Beavis asks.

"Eh, we gotta like, come up with some money before we get cable back."

"Damn it!" Beavis screams.

"Shut up, buttmunch." Butthead says, turning to Beavis. "I like, have an idea. Uh huh huh."

The next day at Burger World, Beavis and Butthead are finishing up their shifts. Their boss comes out.

"You boys actually did alright." Their boss tells them. "Go ahead and take off early." He orders them, before moving back into his office. Butthead moves up to the cash register, and Beavis follows.

"Let's not go home, Butthead. We don't have TV. Heh heh."

"Shut up, dillweed. Check this out."

Butthead opens the cash register and takes out the majority of the money inside. "Uh huh huh. Now let's go home."

A few hours later, the represenative walks up to Beavis and Butthead's house. He knocks, and both of the boys answer.

"Got the money?" The represenative asks.

"Uh huh huh. Yeah." Butthead says, and pulls out the large sum of cash they took from the register. The represenative's eyes widen.

"Whoa." he says, "That's a lot of money."

Butthead hands it over to the represenative. "Uh huh huh. Yeah. We worked like, real hard for it and stuff."

The represenative counts the money. "Alright, you boys are all caught up and just bought another year's worth of cable. It will be switched back on tonight." The represenative says, before heading back to his car.

Beavis and Butthead laugh.

"That was cool. Uh huh huh."

Cartoons?Beavis and Butt-Head

? Follow/FavButtknocker By: pantyslime ? What vendetta against the word "buttknocker" could Beavis possibly have? B/BH Rated: Fiction T - English - Romance - Words: 1,466 - Reviews: 3 - Favs: 5 - Published: Nov 16, 2012 - Status: Complete - id: 8707061

?+ ?-  ?   ?     ?   ?

There were plenty of reasons Butt-head liked to piss Beavis off, the most obvious being that it was fun. Usually, Beavis would take it as a joke and play along—they would call each other names, maybe smack each other a bit, then go right back to watching TV or ignoring their teacher. As an added bonus, it gave them something to do in that horribly boring house of theirs. Sure, they watched a lot of reruns and music videos over and over but Jesus Christ, even they had a sanity level. Moments like that—the overwhelming boredom experienced during "normal" teenage life—were the ones Butt-head decided to use to make his move for the simple reason that he liked getting into fights with his best friend. Especially physical fights.

Those were the best.

And of course, summer was always the most boring. Weekends especially. On the bright side, there wasn't any school and sure, they could always try and go to the mall or the convenience store to pick up chicks. Maybe even say hi to Todd and get lucky enough to get their asses kicked by him and his gang. But at the end of the day, they came home to big steaming pile of nothing.

That was when the comments started.

A Bon Jovi video plays. At this point, everyone knows Beavis likes 'em. Hell, Butt-head didn't even really care anymore. But he couldn't just let it go; it was way too fun getting Beavis worked up over it.

"No wonder you like Bon Jovi. You're just as much a wussie buttknocker as they are," Butt-head said smugly.

"Shut up Butt-head," Beavis warned, his voice taking on a tone of 'don't fuck with me today'. "And don't call me a—"

"Buttknocker?" Butt-head finished for him. "Why? What's a buttknocker like you gonna like, do about it?"

He could see Beavis' fists curl up by his side, still resting on the couch. He didn't say anything, instead opting to stare at a spot on the wall.

Butt-head snorted. "If I'd known it was like, Silence of the Buttknockers Day, I would've gone to school or someth—"

He never got a chance to finish his sentence because suddenly all of Beavis's weight had knocked them both over the side of the couch. The move knocked the floor lamp over, too, and both it and the teenagers hit the ground at the same time. The brunette hit his head on the way down, but he didn't mind. In fact, he actually somewhat enjoyed it—the way his and Beavis's body made a hard thud! sound on the carpet. Fighting had always excited him.

Beavis had landed somewhat on top of Butt-head, his knee pressing into the taller boy's stomach as he hovered over his best friend, only friend. The berserked blond wrapped his fingers around Butt-head's neck and began pounding it into the ground. However, both of them were used to the idea that Butt-head was pretty thick-skulled, so it's not like any real damage could ever come of it. Still, he persisted in his violent actions.

"How many times do I have to tell you," Beavis yelled, thrusting his companion to the ground, "not to call me a buttknocker?" He pressed his knee into Butt-head's stomach harder, but Butt-head didn't complain. Instead, he wrapped his arm around Beavis' torso and attempted to shake him off. As he continued to shake him, Beavis continued. "You can call me anything else, but you can't. Call. Me. A. Buttknocker!"

"Uh, yeah?" Butt-head replied, deciding now was as good a time as any to start fighting back. He thrusted his own knee up into Beavis' stomach and that was enough to knock the blond's leg onto the floor so that Beavis was now straddling him. "Why don'tcha like being called a buttknocker so much?" Though he meant for the question to be an insult, it was actually something that he'd thought about on more than one occasion. Why did that singular phrase bother Beavis so much? Butt-head shoved the aggravated boy up into the air and rolled over so that he landed with another hardthud! on the ground beside him. He grabbed Beavis's shoulder and punched him right in the gut, hoping to provoke a more violent response than simply being thrashed into the ground repeatedly. He wanted to get punched. And he wanted it to hurt.

Apparently, it seemed luck was on his side that day—Beavis punched him square in the chest, though it was hard to get good aim or any force to it since Butt-head was tilting the blond's head so far back. Beavis tugged back at Butt-head's shirt, hoping to pull him closer so it'd be easier to pop him one right in the mouth, but the momentum only helped Butt-head roll on top of Beavis. This time, it was the brunette that hovered over the blond, and due to the fact that he was slightly bigger than Beavis, he wasn't going to be able to get away. Butt-head pinned Beavis' arms to his sides and settled his knees on either side of his hips. Beavis's torso arched here and there to try and throw Butt-head off; his hands clenched and unclenched in a futile attempt to get them free; and his legs kicked wildly to try and hurt the brunette, but it was all very ineffective. Butt-head merely pressed Beavis' arms down a little harder, or he would squeeze his legs together to get the squirming under control—his control—, or he would move his own feet out to separate Beavis' legs so that it was harder for him to kick.

"Answer me, Beavis! Why does the word buttknocker piss you off so much?"

"Augh, Butt-head I'm gonna kill you if you don't let me go!"

"No way, ass wipe! You couldn't kill anything if you had a gun in one hand and like, a knife in the other. Except yourself, maybe, since you're such a buttknocker!"

"Dammit Butt-head!"

The music from the TV hadn't even registered to either of them before because they were too caught up in trying to overthrow the other that it didn't matter. But the volume had gradually risen to an extremely annoying volume and that didn't help the temperament of either teenager. Beavis was getting so angry that he mustered up the strength to raise himself a bit, and Butt-head made the mistake of letting go of one of his arms to push his shaking chest back down.

That was pretty stupid, considering that now Beavis was able to grab Butt-head by the collar and tug him closer to him. Beavis shoved Butt-head like he had done to him a minute ago, right up against the wall under the window. Their legs had become entangled and Butt-head's arm was stuck under Beavis' shoulder.

The two's cheeks were nearly touching as Butt-head pressed the issue. "Why can I call you anything else," Butt-head yelled, pressing his knee into Beavis's stomach for the second time, "but I can't call you buttknocker? I mean like, it's what you are, isn't it?"

"No!" Another thrash from Beavis to Butt-head's head against the wall.

Butt-head raised an eyebrow. "Uh, you sure about that? 'Cause that's not what your boner says."

"Augh, shut up Butt-head! That's just like, adreadedline!"

"Oh yeah? Huh, so you do have one!" Butt-head said, licking his lips and laughing. He grabbed the fabric of Beavis's shirt with his tight fists and pulled him closer.

"That's not what I meant, butthole!" Beavis's face was turning red now, but whether it was from his anger or the possible accuracy of Butt-head's statement would never be known.

Because that's when he smashed his face to Beavis's and kissed him right on the mouth.

Beavis' everything froze. His hands stopped pressing against Butt-head's neck; his feet stopped kicking; fuck, even his heart stopped for a second or two, too.

Butt-head shoved him away, but only a couple of inches from his face. "You like fighting with me, too, don't you Beavis."

The blond only stared at Butt-head. The color of the wall became hazy, and all he could do was blink hard, once. Maybe swallow whatever less-than-quality-sentences he had stuck in his throat.

And even though Beavis couldn't think of anything to say, Butt-head wouldn't have let him, anyways. He tugged Beavis hard by the collar and pressed their lips together again—but this time, Beavis only froze for a second before pressing back.

Even though the mood had taken a hard hit in the face from one extreme to the other, Butt-head wasn't ready to go all sissy gooey gushy wussie crap with this. He still liked being physical and rough, so he moved one hand from Beavis' collar to the small of his back and dug his fingers into the skin there to pull him closer. Beavis didn't seem to mind—after all, he had just inadvertently admitted that he liked to play, too. However, as rough as he was being, the point of Butt-head's change in the position of his hand was not so he could just grab a hold of Beavis and claw him to death.

The point was so he could get a much easier grind out of his companion, the fight exciting him in the same way. Beavis pulled back and the surprised noise that came from his mouth only made Butt-head harder. For just a second, he stopped and thought about all the things that happened that probably led Beavis to being okay with Butt-head's sudden decision. He'd gotten wood in the back of a bus while he and a bunch of dudes occupied the space there. He considered having sex with Muddy for money, maybe if they just closed their eyes. They changed in the same stalls. Beavis had wanted a party with just Butt-head, instead of having chicks there, too.

And as for Butt-head, well.

He just really liked Beavis.

The signs were all there. So Butt-head just had to ask, voice a little low from all the unexpected contact he'd gotten that day.

"You like dick, don't you Beavis."

"Damn, it took you a long time to ask." He shoved Butt-head up against the wall again and kissed him, scraping his lips occasionally against the metal on Butt-head's teeth.

Maybe now all Beavis' offers to show him his butt would actually pay off.

Cartoons?Beavis and Butt-Head

? Follow/FavCall Center By: Citizenjess ? Beavis and Butthead are unceremoniously dispatched from their jobs at Burger World, and seek new, albeit still sucky employment. Any resemblance to actual and living call centers is purely coincidental. Really. Rated: Fiction T - English - Humor - Words: 3,409 - Reviews: 3 - Favs: 2 - Published: Mar 14, 2007 - Status: Complete - id: 3439559

?+ ?-  ?   ?     ?   ?

Working two jobs, completing a Master's program, and daily classroom observation has basically drained me of any and all recreational time, but I somehow managed to crank this out in the midst of an evening spent with my brother. This is for him.

Summary: Beavis & Butthead are unceremoniously dispatched from their jobs at Burger World, and seek new, albeit still sucky employment. Any resemblance to actual and living call centers is purely coincidental. Really. Rated PG-13.

Call Center

It all started when Beavis & Butthead got fired from their jobs at Burger World. That they had kept their tenured positions for as long as they had was the surprising thing that Beavis had peed in the fry cooker, thinking the oil was, somehow, just a vat of hot urine, waiting to be added to, was actually a fairly anticlimactic end to their reign of terror over the world of fast food.

Normally, unemployment was not a prospect that really registered on their collective radar. Having unwittingly turned slacking off, eating nachos, and sitting on a battered couch watching music videos into some sort of art form, neither boy really cared much about earning a steady paycheck, except that having money in their pockets cut down on how often they had to sneak into movies and steal food out of the refrigerator in the teacher's lounge at Highland High School.

Still, their sort-of friend Stuart was working at the local Icee Freeze, and when he kicked them out when he was working the late shift because Butthead kept filching change out of the tip jar and Beavis clogged the toilet, they decided they needed new jobs. If nothing else, it was necessary to have some place to hang out. "Dude, work sucks," Butthead lamented as they trudged up the road after yet another inauspicious day at school. "Why do we have to do it again?"

"Heh, 'cause like, then we'll have like, money," Beavis replied. "And like, chicks like dudes who have money. So if we have money, we'll get chicks, heh. And then we'll score!"

"Heh, you said 'score'," Butthead said agreeably. "Where should we get jobs?"

"How about Burger World?" Beavis suggested.

"You bunghole! We can't work there anymore, because you like, took a whiz where you weren't supposed to do or something. Dumb ass." Butthead said angerly.

"Heh, I thought it was because like, heh heh, I scratched my butt with a spatula and then like, that one fat chick with the huge hooters ate that burger and threw up all over the parking lot," Beavis mused.

"Heh heh. Hooters."

"We should get something cool," Beavis continued. "I think we'd get even more chicks if like, we had cool jobs."

"Yeah, cool guys score," Butthead agreed. "Like, Stuart's a loser, and his job sucks. We're like, way cooler than Stuart."

It was at that point that Daria, one of their classmates happened by. "If you guys are really looking for a job, you should try TCI," she intoned flatly. "They take anybody."

"Diarrhea, cha-cha-cha!" they chorused.

Daria just sighed. "I was just trying to help. Though I'm not sure why I bothered."

"Heh, thanks, Diarrhea," Beavis said. She went on her way, shaking her head. "What do you think, Butthead?"

"Heh," said Butthead. "Diarrhea."

TCI, or Telecommunications Center, Inc. was a large, white building in one of the crappier parts of town (and there were a lot of them). Beavis and Butthead left school early the next afternoon, mostly because they'd gotten sent to the principal's office for taking the frogs they were supposed to be dissecting for Biology class and chucking bits of them at the other students, and the principal, a perpetually sweating man named Mr. McVicker "McDicker," Butthead had guffawed afterwards had simply pointed a shaky finger out the window until they went away.

The waiting room area of TCI held two battered-looking computers, and a handful of chairs, which were arranged to face a sliding glass window that was currently closed. A couple of other burn-outs whom Beavis and Butthead recognized from around town were there, though the computers weren't in use. As if on cue, a bored-looking HR person slid the window open and sized up the room's newest occupants. "You guys filled out the application yet?" he asked.

"Heh, application?" Beavis queried.

The HR guy sighed, and then pointed to the computers. "All incoming employees have to fill out an application it takes like fifteen minutes, tops. Then you can wait here, and you'll be interviewed, which is another fifteen minutes. I think we have our next training class tomorrow, so you guys got here on a good day."

He made to close the window again, but Beavis chimed in again. "Diarrhea said this place hires everyone!" he protested. "So why do we have to apply?"

The HR dude blinked. "We need a way to keep track of everybody we hire," he explained with somewhat forced politeness.

Butthead snorted. "You guys should just like, take roll or something, then. Dumb asses."

HR Guy smiled weakly. "Yeah, heh, we uh, we should. Anyway, um, why don't each of you take a computer and fill out your application. Roger, will you come with me, please?" he gestured to a tall, gangly teen against the far wall with a piercing in every conceivable orifice, who stood and trudged awkwardly over to the door of the HR office. It open and closed again methodically, and Beavis and Butthead watched through the window, fascinated, trying to peer in at Roger's interview. "They're just like, talking," Beavis said, disappointed.

"Yeah," Butthead agreed. "This show sucks." They turned their attention anew to the computers, set up against opposite walls, the screens already broadcasting a blank copy of the application form. Butthead squinted at the 'name' field in confusion. "Nah-meh," he mispronounced. "Dude, what the hell is nah-me?"

"Um, I think that's like, where you put your like, name and stuff, heh," Beavis offered. "Like, I would put, B-E-E-V-I-S, 'cause that's like, 'Beavis' or whatever, and you would put, um, N-A-D-S."

Butthead typed it in and then stared at the screen. "You bunghole! That says 'nads', not 'Butthead'." He held down the 'delete' key until the computer made an erroneous noise, and then held it down a few more seconds before the room's other occupants glared at him. "Dillweed."

After a rigorous application process, the two boys waited for an interview. The other people in the room went first, all of who exited the HR office with a packet of paper in hand and looking at least moderately pleased. "Man, I totally screwed up that last word," an acne-laden girl with oily blonde hair said to her companion, a dude Beavis and Butthead had seen around town whose name was Darren. They left together, and the HR guy stuck his head out the door.

"Okay, so which one of you is 'Beevis Poopshire', and which one is 'Dirk Bignads'?" Beavis and Butthead giggled. "Guys, you do realize you could get fired for not copying down correct information, don't you?" He handed them both back their applications. "Now, I'll let you fix these, because I like you fellas and I think you were just having a little joke, but you're not going to get another warning about this sort of thing, okay?" Both boys took their respective applications, scribbling out their cool new monikers with stubby bits of pencil they found lying on a table in the waiting room. "Should I like, also take out the part where I said I was like, this really famous pro-wrestler who fights dudes in Mexico and drinks lots of tequila and scores like every night?" Beavis asked.

HR Guy stifled yet another sigh. "Well, did you do any of those things?"

"Heh," Beavis said. "No."

HR Dude shook his head. "Okay, well, anyways. My name is Bill, and I will be interviewing you both. Who wants to go first?" Both boys were silent. "Don't be shy," Bill said encouragingly. "How about you, um, Butthead, is it? Boys, you said you were going to write your real names down this time."

"Huh, that is my name, turd burglar," Butthead snorted.

"Oh. Oh, um, okay, then. Well, Butthead," Bill blinked, "let's head into my office and talk about why you want to become a TCI employee, shall we?" He opened the door wider and waited for Butthead to follow him. "Butthead?"

"Huh, do I have to like, take my pants off or something?" Butthead asked. "'Cause like, I don't like doing that in front of other dudes."

"Oh, no, nothing like that," Bill assured him. "This is just an oral interview. We're not a doctor's office or anything." Butthead snickered "huh huh, 'oral' but followed Bill inside, and sat down in the chair he'd seen Roger and the rest occupy. Bill placed a list of about thirty words in front of him. "Butthead, do you know what we do here at TCI?" he asked, folding his hands on the desk in front of him.

"Huh," Butthead replied. "Work?"

"We provide research to companies who hire us to gather data on a variety of topics usually, political, socio-economic, and occasionally religious."

"Huh huh. What?" Butthead asked.

"We do phone surveys," Bill reiterated, more slowly this time. "Have you ever done phone surveys before, Butthead?"

"No," Butthead answered honestly. "But like, this one time, me and Beavis called this phone sex line to talk to some chick with big hooters. We totally scored."

"A-ha, well, yes. Um, this isn't really the same thing," Bill said quickly. "You just read whatever's on the screen and record people's answers. Do you have any experience with computers?"

"Huh huh, once me and Beavis had to watch for police and stuff while this Todd guy stole a computer. Todd's like, cool," Butthead said approvingly. Bill just sighed and made a note on his clipboard. Then he pushed the list of words towards Butthead and asked him to read them. "Heh heh, okay. Um, let's see. 'Ar-cans-ass'; 'e-piss-co' uh, huh huh, piss. 'Cat-eh', uh, huh huh, what if we don't know what any of these mean?"

Beavis' interview went about the same. Bill told him about being able to use an alias on the phone and he chuckled. "You can have your ass talk instead? Heh heh, wow, that's cool!"

Nonetheless, both boys were handed a packet of papers detailing the dress code, rules and other important information granted to "new members of the TCI family", and were instructed to show up the next day at 8 AM sharp. "Dude, that's like, a Saturday," Butthead said flatly. "That sucks."

Bill just smiled at them uneasily. "Uh, right. See you then!" He hurried back into his office and shut the door audibly behind him.

Training was held in a small room without any ventilation of windows. Beavis and Butthead crowded into it alongside roughly twenty other new TCI recruits, none of whom seemed particularly thrilled to be awake so early on a Saturday.

Eventually, Bill made his way into the room and to the center of the convocation of hard plastic chairs. "Welcome to training, everyone!" he proclaimed with an enviable amount of enthusiasm. A few of the new employees muttered; Beavis picked his nose. Butthead chuckled predatorily at some chick next to him wearing a low-cut shirt and dangly earrings. Neither paid much attention to Bill's prattling about QA, dress code, or calling in sick, though the girl next to Butthead grew pouty when Bill told her that her shirt was not acceptable on the call floor.

Finally, Bill paired the room's occupants off into groups of three and had them take turns logging into what appeared to be computers that were older than most of the new employees. A guy who looked about twenty, with multiple tattoos and a Metallica t-shirt that was two sizes too small for him joined Beavis and Butthead. He grunted a hello, and began squinting at a piece of paper with log-in directions typed on it. "What the hell," he muttered, and then turned to the two boys. "You guys know how to do this crap?"

"Huh, crap," Butthead laughed. Bill happened over at that moment. "You boys having trouble logging in?" he said helpfully. "Here Butthead, was it? Why don't you sit in front of the computer and show me how you would log-in. Come on, don't be shy."

Butthead chuckled and moved into position. "Okay," Bill continued, unwaveringly chipper. "Now what would you do first?"

"Huh, I don't know," Butthead snorted.

"Beavis, can you help him out? How about you, uh, Clifford, isn't it?" Bill looked back and forth between the two, a tinge of desperation in his voice. Clifford, however, just shrugged; Beavis pulled a booger out of his nose and wiped it on the underside of the table.

"I think most of you are doing really well," Bill said some four hours later, leading the rag-tag crew out onto the edges of the call floor for their official induction as TCI employees. Clifford had abandoned Beavis and Butthead to chat up the large-busted girl who kept placing her hand across her cleavage as if afraid her breasts were going to tumble out of her shirt. The boys stood at the back of the group, no more the wiser as to how to log-in than they'd been that morning. An emptied section of the call floor had been marked by post-its on each monitor, and Bill steered the group over to them, instruction everyone to sit down and wait for a supervisor to come around and watch them log-in for the first time. A sour-looking woman with glasses and a dull bush of hair stepped behind Beavis and Butthead. "All right, you know how to do this, yeah?"

Beavis chuckled. "Yeah, we know how to do it, heh heh." Butthead laughed appreciatively.

The woman crossed her arms over her chest. "Okay, then. Show me."

Both boys gaped at her. "You want us to do it here?" Butthead goggled. "With each other?"

Beavis chuckled. "That's like, nasty, lady."

The woman rolled her eyes, then seized Butthead's keyboard and began typing. "What's your interviewer ID?" she asked him. He stared at her dumbly and she sighed loudly. "Never mind hey, Bill!" she called down the row. The trainer shuffled over quickly. "Can you give me this young man's interviewer ID?" He did; she keyed it in, and talked herself through the prompts, for Butthead's benefit more than anything, though it was unlikely that he noticed. Eventually, a screen popped up indicating that the computer was logged in. She quickly repeated the action on Beavis' computer, and then moved down the line. "Get ready, you two," she said sternly, evil-eyeing them both. "Your first calls should come in soon."

As she predicted, the calls began trickling in about three minutes later. "Uh, hello," Butthead said, breathing heavily into the mouthpiece. "My name is uh, Butthead. You wanna like, do it?" The person on the other end hung up.

Bill passed by just then. "Did they hang up?" he asked. "Here, you just hit the number that corresponds to the result of the call. In this case it's a '6', and then it asks if you want to try another interview. Hit 'y'. Now you do the next one."

Another call came in about twenty seconds later. "Huh huh, six," Butthead chuckled. The call recipient slammed down the phone once more. "Six, y," he said to himself, pressing the buttons clumsily. He logged the next four calls in quick succession, not even attempting to answer any of them. "Heh heh, this is cool," he said. "What do you think, Beavis?"

Beavis was busily trying to join the ends of the plastic extension for the microphone on his headset up both nostrils. "Hey, check it out, Butthead," he announced. "I'm a bull!" He laughed, and both ends of the extension shot out of his nose, landing on the desk. Butthead chuckled at him for a few minutes, and then resumed prematurely logging his calls.

An hour or so passed. Reluctantly, it seemed, Bill happened by again. "Boys, I've looked at your stats. Butthead, you've hung up without saying anything some 27 times. And Beavis, you haven't even logged your first call yet! I know it's your first day, but most of your training class has gotten at least one completed survey. Do you need more help? Anything I can do?" Bill asked, wringing his hands. "Guys, come on, talk to me. Beavis? Butthead? Buehler?"

"Huh huh," Butthead said. "You can get us some nachos if you really want to help."

"Nachos?" Bill echoed blankly. Both boys snickered, and he sighed. "Look, guys, I hate to be like this, but you're going to be QA'd in the next hour or so. You really need to show me that you know what you're doing, or that you're at least trying to understand." He walked away. Beavis picked up the microphone extension and stuck it in his ear this time.

"Heh heh, uh, huh, my name is Beavis," Beavis said, after Butthead taught him how to press the '6' and 'y' buttons. "I'm calling on behalf of People Studies. Would you like to do a survey?"

"Hmm," a soft, feminine voice answered. "All right. It won't take long, will it?"

"Heh, it's uh, it's kind of long," Beavis replied, snickering. "But um, your o-pin uh, you okay, so like, just do it, okay?" He hit 'enter' and came up with another block of text. "Um, okay," he read, slowly. "How likely are you to vote in the next Presidential e- uh, e-lec, um erection. Huh huh, the President has an erection! Hey Butthead, look!"

"Excuse me?" the voice on the other line said.

"No no, not you," Beavis rasped, whipping off his headset and turning to his friend. "Butthead, c'mon, did you see? The President has an erection!"

"Heh heh, cool," Butthead said appraisingly. He continued with his own call. "Okay, uh, huh huh, next question, ma'am. Do you have: big hooters, really big hooters, really really big hooters, or are you a dude?" The caller hung up. "Huh huh, that was cool."

"Yeah!" Beavis enthused, no longer paying attention to his screen. The sound of someone clearing their throat startled them both.

"That really wasn't cool, you guys," Bill said, frowning at them grimly. "Not cool at all."

"This sucks," Butthead announced, kicking a rock with the toe of his sneaker. "We got fired, and we won't even get money for like two weeks."

"Yeah," Beavis agreed. "I had plans for that money. Think about all the nachos we can buy!"

"Nachos," Butthead chuckled. "Bill was a douche," he said a moment later. "He's like, a bigger douche than McDicker and Mr. Van Dreason put together."

"Yeah, he's a bunghole," Beavis agreed. "But like, he was gonna pay us and stuff."

"He'd better, 'cause that job sucked," Butthead said angrily. "Except for that part where I totally scored with that one chick. She had big hooters."

"Yeah. But like, how could you tell, Butthead?" Beavis asked, scratching his head, and then scratching his butt with the same hand and sniffing his fingers. "I mean, heh, couldn't she like, lie and crap about her hooter size? Like, what if she was a dude or something?"

"Whoa," Butthead said in awe. "A dude with big hooters."

They walked along for a few moments in silence. "Hey Butthead, do you think Burger World will rehire us if like, I promise not to take my weiner out anymore?"

"Huh huh, weiner." And off they went, in search of truth, justice, and a job that would inevitably suck as much as Bjork's music, which was a lot.

Working two jobs, completing a Master's program, and daily classroom observation has basically drained me of any and all recreational time, but I somehow managed to crank this out in the midst of an evening spent with my brother. This is for him.

Summary: Beavis & Butthead are unceremoniously dispatched from their jobs at Burger World, and seek new, albeit still sucky employment. Any resemblance to actual and living call centers is purely coincidental. Really. Rated PG-13.

Call Center

It all started when Beavis & Butthead got fired from their jobs at Burger World. That they had kept their tenured positions for as long as they had was the surprising thing that Beavis had peed in the fry cooker, thinking the oil was, somehow, just a vat of hot urine, waiting to be added to, was actually a fairly anticlimactic end to their reign of terror over the world of fast food.

Normally, unemployment was not a prospect that really registered on their collective radar. Having unwittingly turned slacking off, eating nachos, and sitting on a battered couch watching music videos into some sort of art form, neither boy really cared much about earning a steady paycheck, except that having money in their pockets cut down on how often they had to sneak into movies and steal food out of the refrigerator in the teacher's lounge at Highland High School.

Still, their sort-of friend Stuart was working at the local Icee Freeze, and when he kicked them out when he was working the late shift because Butthead kept filching change out of the tip jar and Beavis clogged the toilet, they decided they needed new jobs. If nothing else, it was necessary to have some place to hang out. "Dude, work sucks," Butthead lamented as they trudged up the road after yet another inauspicious day at school. "Why do we have to do it again?"

"Heh, 'cause like, then we'll have like, money," Beavis replied. "And like, chicks like dudes who have money. So if we have money, we'll get chicks, heh. And then we'll score!"

"Heh, you said 'score'," Butthead said agreeably. "Where should we get jobs?"

"How about Burger World?" Beavis suggested.

"You bunghole! We can't work there anymore, because you like, took a whiz where you weren't supposed to do or something. Dumb ass." Butthead said angerly.

"Heh, I thought it was because like, heh heh, I scratched my butt with a spatula and then like, that one fat chick with the huge hooters ate that burger and threw up all over the parking lot," Beavis mused.

"Heh heh. Hooters."

"We should get something cool," Beavis continued. "I think we'd get even more chicks if like, we had cool jobs."

"Yeah, cool guys score," Butthead agreed. "Like, Stuart's a loser, and his job sucks. We're like, way cooler than Stuart."

It was at that point that Daria, one of their classmates happened by. "If you guys are really looking for a job, you should try TCI," she intoned flatly. "They take anybody."

"Diarrhea, cha-cha-cha!" they chorused.

Daria just sighed. "I was just trying to help. Though I'm not sure why I bothered."

"Heh, thanks, Diarrhea," Beavis said. She went on her way, shaking her head. "What do you think, Butthead?"

"Heh," said Butthead. "Diarrhea."

TCI, or Telecommunications Center, Inc. was a large, white building in one of the crappier parts of town (and there were a lot of them). Beavis and Butthead left school early the next afternoon, mostly because they'd gotten sent to the principal's office for taking the frogs they were supposed to be dissecting for Biology class and chucking bits of them at the other students, and the principal, a perpetually sweating man named Mr. McVicker "McDicker," Butthead had guffawed afterwards had simply pointed a shaky finger out the window until they went away.

The waiting room area of TCI held two battered-looking computers, and a handful of chairs, which were arranged to face a sliding glass window that was currently closed. A couple of other burn-outs whom Beavis and Butthead recognized from around town were there, though the computers weren't in use. As if on cue, a bored-looking HR person slid the window open and sized up the room's newest occupants. "You guys filled out the application yet?" he asked.

"Heh, application?" Beavis queried.

The HR guy sighed, and then pointed to the computers. "All incoming employees have to fill out an application it takes like fifteen minutes, tops. Then you can wait here, and you'll be interviewed, which is another fifteen minutes. I think we have our next training class tomorrow, so you guys got here on a good day."

He made to close the window again, but Beavis chimed in again. "Diarrhea said this place hires everyone!" he protested. "So why do we have to apply?"

The HR dude blinked. "We need a way to keep track of everybody we hire," he explained with somewhat forced politeness.

Butthead snorted. "You guys should just like, take roll or something, then. Dumb asses."

HR Guy smiled weakly. "Yeah, heh, we uh, we should. Anyway, um, why don't each of you take a computer and fill out your application. Roger, will you come with me, please?" he gestured to a tall, gangly teen against the far wall with a piercing in every conceivable orifice, who stood and trudged awkwardly over to the door of the HR office. It open and closed again methodically, and Beavis and Butthead watched through the window, fascinated, trying to peer in at Roger's interview. "They're just like, talking," Beavis said, disappointed.

"Yeah," Butthead agreed. "This show sucks." They turned their attention anew to the computers, set up against opposite walls, the screens already broadcasting a blank copy of the application form. Butthead squinted at the 'name' field in confusion. "Nah-meh," he mispronounced. "Dude, what the hell is nah-me?"

"Um, I think that's like, where you put your like, name and stuff, heh," Beavis offered. "Like, I would put, B-E-E-V-I-S, 'cause that's like, 'Beavis' or whatever, and you would put, um, N-A-D-S."

Butthead typed it in and then stared at the screen. "You bunghole! That says 'nads', not 'Butthead'." He held down the 'delete' key until the computer made an erroneous noise, and then held it down a few more seconds before the room's other occupants glared at him. "Dillweed."

After a rigorous application process, the two boys waited for an interview. The other people in the room went first, all of who exited the HR office with a packet of paper in hand and looking at least moderately pleased. "Man, I totally screwed up that last word," an acne-laden girl with oily blonde hair said to her companion, a dude Beavis and Butthead had seen around town whose name was Darren. They left together, and the HR guy stuck his head out the door.

"Okay, so which one of you is 'Beevis Poopshire', and which one is 'Dirk Bignads'?" Beavis and Butthead giggled. "Guys, you do realize you could get fired for not copying down correct information, don't you?" He handed them both back their applications. "Now, I'll let you fix these, because I like you fellas and I think you were just having a little joke, but you're not going to get another warning about this sort of thing, okay?" Both boys took their respective applications, scribbling out their cool new monikers with stubby bits of pencil they found lying on a table in the waiting room. "Should I like, also take out the part where I said I was like, this really famous pro-wrestler who fights dudes in Mexico and drinks lots of tequila and scores like every night?" Beavis asked.

HR Guy stifled yet another sigh. "Well, did you do any of those things?"

"Heh," Beavis said. "No."

HR Dude shook his head. "Okay, well, anyways. My name is Bill, and I will be interviewing you both. Who wants to go first?" Both boys were silent. "Don't be shy," Bill said encouragingly. "How about you, um, Butthead, is it? Boys, you said you were going to write your real names down this time."

"Huh, that is my name, turd burglar," Butthead snorted.

"Oh. Oh, um, okay, then. Well, Butthead," Bill blinked, "let's head into my office and talk about why you want to become a TCI employee, shall we?" He opened the door wider and waited for Butthead to follow him. "Butthead?"

"Huh, do I have to like, take my pants off or something?" Butthead asked. "'Cause like, I don't like doing that in front of other dudes."

"Oh, no, nothing like that," Bill assured him. "This is just an oral interview. We're not a doctor's office or anything." Butthead snickered "huh huh, 'oral' but followed Bill inside, and sat down in the chair he'd seen Roger and the rest occupy. Bill placed a list of about thirty words in front of him. "Butthead, do you know what we do here at TCI?" he asked, folding his hands on the desk in front of him.

"Huh," Butthead replied. "Work?"

"We provide research to companies who hire us to gather data on a variety of topics usually, political, socio-economic, and occasionally religious."

"Huh huh. What?" Butthead asked.

"We do phone surveys," Bill reiterated, more slowly this time. "Have you ever done phone surveys before, Butthead?"

"No," Butthead answered honestly. "But like, this one time, me and Beavis called this phone sex line to talk to some chick with big hooters. We totally scored."

"A-ha, well, yes. Um, this isn't really the same thing," Bill said quickly. "You just read whatever's on the screen and record people's answers. Do you have any experience with computers?"

"Huh huh, once me and Beavis had to watch for police and stuff while this Todd guy stole a computer. Todd's like, cool," Butthead said approvingly. Bill just sighed and made a note on his clipboard. Then he pushed the list of words towards Butthead and asked him to read them. "Heh heh, okay. Um, let's see. 'Ar-cans-ass'; 'e-piss-co' uh, huh huh, piss. 'Cat-eh', uh, huh huh, what if we don't know what any of these mean?"

Beavis' interview went about the same. Bill told him about being able to use an alias on the phone and he chuckled. "You can have your ass talk instead? Heh heh, wow, that's cool!"

Nonetheless, both boys were handed a packet of papers detailing the dress code, rules and other important information granted to "new members of the TCI family", and were instructed to show up the next day at 8 AM sharp. "Dude, that's like, a Saturday," Butthead said flatly. "That sucks."

Bill just smiled at them uneasily. "Uh, right. See you then!" He hurried back into his office and shut the door audibly behind him.

Training was held in a small room without any ventilation of windows. Beavis and Butthead crowded into it alongside roughly twenty other new TCI recruits, none of whom seemed particularly thrilled to be awake so early on a Saturday.

Eventually, Bill made his way into the room and to the center of the convocation of hard plastic chairs. "Welcome to training, everyone!" he proclaimed with an enviable amount of enthusiasm. A few of the new employees muttered; Beavis picked his nose. Butthead chuckled predatorily at some chick next to him wearing a low-cut shirt and dangly earrings. Neither paid much attention to Bill's prattling about QA, dress code, or calling in sick, though the girl next to Butthead grew pouty when Bill told her that her shirt was not acceptable on the call floor.

Finally, Bill paired the room's occupants off into groups of three and had them take turns logging into what appeared to be computers that were older than most of the new employees. A guy who looked about twenty, with multiple tattoos and a Metallica t-shirt that was two sizes too small for him joined Beavis and Butthead. He grunted a hello, and began squinting at a piece of paper with log-in directions typed on it. "What the hell," he muttered, and then turned to the two boys. "You guys know how to do this crap?"

"Huh, crap," Butthead laughed. Bill happened over at that moment. "You boys having trouble logging in?" he said helpfully. "Here Butthead, was it? Why don't you sit in front of the computer and show me how you would log-in. Come on, don't be shy."

Butthead chuckled and moved into position. "Okay," Bill continued, unwaveringly chipper. "Now what would you do first?"

"Huh, I don't know," Butthead snorted.

"Beavis, can you help him out? How about you, uh, Clifford, isn't it?" Bill looked back and forth between the two, a tinge of desperation in his voice. Clifford, however, just shrugged; Beavis pulled a booger out of his nose and wiped it on the underside of the table.

"I think most of you are doing really well," Bill said some four hours later, leading the rag-tag crew out onto the edges of the call floor for their official induction as TCI employees.

He logged the next four calls in quick succession, not even attempting to answer any of them. "Heh heh, this is cool," he said. "What do you think, Beavis?"

Beavis was busily trying to join the ends of the plastic extension for the microphone on his headset up both nostrils. "Hey, check it out, Butthead," he announced. "I'm a bull!" He laughed, and both ends of the extension shot out of his nose, landing on the desk. Butthead chuckled at him for a few minutes, and then resumed prematurely logging his calls.

"Huh huh," Butthead said. "You can get us some nachos if you really want to help."

"Nachos?" Bill echoed blankly. Both boys snickered, and he sighed. "Look, guys, I hate to be like this, but you're going to be QA'd in the next hour or so. You really need to show me that you know what you're doing, or that you're at least trying to understand." He walked away. Beavis picked up the microphone extension and stuck it in his ear this time.

"Excuse me?" the voice on the other line said.

"No no, not you," Beavis rasped, whipping off his headset and turning to his friend. "Butthead, c'mon, did you see? The President has an erection!"

"Heh heh, cool," Butthead said appraisingly. He continued with his own call. "Okay, uh, huh huh, next question, ma'am. Do you have: big hooters, really big hooters, really really big hooters, or are you a dude?" The caller hung up. "Huh huh, that was cool."

"That really wasn't cool, you guys," Bill said, frowning at them grimly. "Not cool at all."

"Yeah," Beavis agreed. "I had plans for that money. Think about all the nachos we can buy!"

"Whoa," Butthead said in awe. "A dude with big hooters."

They walked along for a few moments in silence. "Hey Butthead, do you think Burger World will rehire us if like, I promise not to take my weiner out anymore?"

"Huh huh, weiner." And off they went, in search of truth, justice, and a job that would inevitably suck as much as Bjork's music, which was a lot.

Chickenpox

By Joey

Summary: Beavis and Butt-head get the chickenpox but don't even realize it.

Author Notes: I do not own Beavis and Butt-Head, its characters, or any copyrighted material.

Chapter 1: Acne

The golden yellow sun rose over the city of Highland one Monday morning. Everyone in town prepared to start another long week consisting of either work or school. The weekend had passed far too quickly for most people. And that included Beavis and Butt-head as well.

The previous Friday, Beavis and Butt-head were relieved to return home. Without thinking, the two boys pounced on the couch and turned the TV on and watched music videos, infomercials, and other TV shows all day long. To their delight, many lame music videos aired, and they enjoyed ridiculing them. They were the lamest videos they had ever seen in a long time, and they were happy to see something they could make fun of for a change. Beavis and Butt-head's lives revolved around making fun of things. Later in the evening, they went to the Maxi-Mart and bought some hot nachos. Butt-head farted really loudly while eating, and Beavis cackled so loudly that he choked on a nacho. It took three whole minutes before Butt-head even thought about doing anything. Finally, a chick that Beavis and Butt-head both deemed as "hot" came to Beavis's rescue and gave him the Heimlich maneuver. Beavis and Butt-head both made feeble attempts to "score" with the young woman, but she gave them both a hard slap on the face and walked indignantly away. Even though Beavis and Butt-head were upset that they didn't get to hang out with the woman, it was still an incredibly memorable experience for them because nothing like that had happened to them in months. Once they were both back home, they realized just what a great evening they had.

During the weekend, Beavis and Butt-head spent more time in front of the TV instead of doing anything else. They didn't feel like doing anything physically active, and they seemed a little more sluggish than usual. However, neither of them really seemed to think much of it. As long as they were well enough to continue making fun of lame music videos, they knew that all was well.

Monday finally came, and the time had come for Beavis and Butt-head to return to school. Butt-head was half asleep, but he could still hear the shrill sound of the alarm clock buzzing through his ears. Without thinking, Butt-head shoved the clock off the night stand, which stopped the alarm from annoying him. Butt-head fell asleep once more, but he didn't get much extra sleep. About ten minutes later, Butt-head started to open his eyes and woke up completely. His bed was so warm and cozy, and he didn't want to go to school. Butt-head decided to miss school and turned over on his side to fall asleep.

That's when he heard Beavis shriek in the bathroom at the top of his voice. "Aghhh! Butt-head, Butt-head, come here!" he shouted.

With an annoyed grunt, Butt-head forced himself out of bed and stepped into the bathroom feeling rather miffed. "What is it, dumbass?" Butt-head snapped. Beavis was standing in front of the bathroom mirror in his underwear looking at himself in shock. Dozens of bright red pock marks were scattered across Beavis's entire body. He kept scratching himself all over. Just then, Butt-head's eyes widened in shock. "Whoa! Beavis, you've got like, a million zits all over you. Uh huh huh huh," said Butt-head.

"You think I don't know that, butthole?" snapped Beavis. Beavis then stared at Butt-head. "Whoa! You've got a lotta zits, too!" he exclaimed.

"What are you talking about, dillweed, no I don't," said Butt-head.

"Yeah you do! Look in the mirror," Beavis said.

Butt-head looked in the mirror and gasped when he saw that he too had a lot of zits. "Whoa! Uh huh huh huh. Cool! They're everywhere. Uh huh huh huh."

"How the hell am I going to go to school with all these zits? And they're really itchy too. I can't stand it!" he cried.

"Dude, shut up," Butt-head said as he gave Beavis a firm slap across the cheek. "I think they make stuff that like, get rid of zits," Butt-head said.

Beavis's tone of voice lightened when he heard that. "Heh heh, really? Heh heh."

"Yeah, dude, let's just go to the Maxi-Mart and get some of that stuff for you," Butt-head said. He then realized that his own "acne" was itchy, so he started to wildly scratch his skin. "Uh, on second thought, we'd better both get this stuff. "I've got it really bad too."

Beavis then reached into his underwear and started scratching. "Hey, heh heh, I think I got acne on my schlong, too. Heh heh heh," Beavis said.

"Huh huh huh," Butt-head chuckled, obviously amused, "you've got acne on your dick. Uh huh huh huh."

"Yeah, yeah, heh heh heh," Beavis laughed. Both Beavis and Butt-head stood in the bathroom snickering their heads off for a whole minute before leaving for the Maxi-Mart.

Chapter 2: Back to School

Beavis and Butt-head arrived at the Maxi-Mart fully dressed a few minutes later. They snickered while entering the store and continued to scratch their skin. The boys wandered up and down the aisles and tried to look for acne products, but the process went very slowly because they were both poor readers and could not read the labels of the products very well. Other shoppers that were near them gasped in shock when they saw that Beavis and Butt-head were out in the open with a very contagious disease. The shoppers immediately fled the store, and thanks to Beavis and Butt-head, every other customer had evacuated the premises in less than a minute.

The boys were bent down and tried to read the labels on some products. Beavis handed Butt-head a container of 10W-30 motor oil. "Hey Butt-head, heh heh, what's this say?" Beavis asked.

"Uh…huh huh, it says like, 'One-oh-double-you-dash-three-oh m...ow…tor oh-I-l.' Um…I think it's like that stuff that you can rub your face with, and it makes it all smooth and stuff."

"I guess this would do the trick, right? Heh heh," Beavis said hopefully.

"That'll do it, Beavis. Uh huh huh huh," Butt-head said.

"Heh heh, you said, 'do it.' Eh heh heh heh heh," Beavis snickered.

"Yeah. Huh huh huh. That was cool. Huh huh huh," Butt-head said.

Beavis and Butt-head then approached the counter ready to buy the container of oil. The clerk's eyes bulged when he saw all the bright red pock marks on Beavis and Butt-head. "Uh, we wanna buy this to help our horrible acne," said Butt-head.

"What the hell are you boys doing walking out in public like this?" demanded the clerk angrily.

"Well, we needed to come to the store to get rid of our acne, so I guess we really didn't have any choice," Butt-head said.

"Don't you guys get it?" the clerk asked, sounding exasperated.

"Um, heh heh, yeah, we've got bad acne, and we look really bad. And in order to make it go away, we need to buy some of this," Beavis said, holding up the 10W-30 oil.

"That's motor oil, you idiots!" snapped the clerk. "That's not going to get rid of your so-called acne!"

"It's not? Huh huh," Butt-head questioned.

"No! Now get out of my store before the juices from your blisters contaminate it!" the clerk demanded as he pointed towards the direction of the door.

"Uh…okay," Butt-head said. Beavis and Butt-head set down the 10W-30 and walked back outside. "That guy was a dork," Butt-head said.

"Yeah," Beavis said. The two boys continued snickering for a little bit. "So, heh heh, shouldn't we be like, in school or something? Heh heh," wondered Beavis.

"Yeah, I guess. Uh huh huh huh," said Butt-head.

The two walked all the way to Highland High School and walked up the steps and entered the building. They walked down the halls and entered Mr. Van Driessen's biology class. All the students gasped when they saw Beavis and Butt-head. Mr. Van Driessen was at the blackboard writing and had his back turned to the class, so he didn't notice Beavis and Butt-head. As the two walked past other students' desks, they heard people mumbling, "Thank goodness I've already had the chickenpox," and "Please get away from me!" Beavis and Butt-head sat down in the back of the class in their usual seats and started goofing off.

"Hey, Beavis. I heard that if you pop zits, you can make them go away," Butt-head said. "Uh huh huh huh."

"Really? Heh heh heh. That's cool! Pop my zits!" Beavis exclaimed.

Beavis and Butt-head snickered as Butt-head squeezed one of Beavis's pock marks. A large number of students in the class were no longer paying attention to Mr. Van Driessen and instead were watching with fear and fascination at Beavis and Butt-head's antics. Butt-head was causing Beavis a lot of pain by squeezing his pock mark, and Beavis couldn't stand it anymore. "Ow! That hurts, Butt-head!" squealed Beavis.

"Hold on, assmunch, I'm not done yet," Butt-head said, still applying a lot of pressure to the pock mark. Finally, he did manage to squeeze a lot of fluid out of the pock mark, but Beavis was in a lot of pain, and the pock mark was still noticeable.

"Agghhh!!!" cried Beavis. "Stop it, asswipe!" he demanded. By this point, everyone in the class was staring at Beavis and Butt-head, including Mr. Van Driessen. He looked horrified at the sight of both Beavis and Butt-head with so many pock marks.

"Oh my gosh! Now, Beavis and Butt-head, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you both to leave right now, m'kay?" Mr. Van Driessen said.

"Uh…okay," Butt-head said. "Uh huh huh huh." Beavis and Butt-head approached the door to leave the class.

"Now boys, do you understand why I'm asking you to leave?" Mr. Van Driessen asked. He briefly shut his eyes. "Don't you understand that you're contagious, and I'm assuming that there are some people in this classroom that have never had…" Mr. Van Driessen continued but then quit talking when he realized that Beavis and Butt-head had already left. He then turned his attention to the class and said, "We're going to have to get you all medical attention immediately," he said.

Chapter 3: ¡Usted muchachos tiene la varicela!

Author Notes: If the Spanish in this chapter is incorrect, please let me know. I used an online translator, so it may not be correct. Thank you.

Beavis and Butt-head sulked as they walked down the halls of Highland High School. "That was stupid," Butt-head said as he scratched his skin. "We had to leave class just because we had acne," he snorted. "Uh huh huh huh."

"Yeah, heh heh," said Beavis. "Let's go see what that Spanish teacher's up to. Heh heh heh."

Beavis and Butt-head walked into Mr. Herrera's classroom and went to the back of the classroom. Nobody seemed to notice Beavis and Butt-head enter the classroom. Mr. Herrera was speaking in Spanish, and to Beavis and Butt-head, the sounds he made sounded like gibberish. Both of the boys started snickering, and they tried to imitate Mr. Herrera by speaking gibberish with a Spanish-sounding accent. It was then that the students turned their heads to the back of the room and gasped when they saw Beavis and Butt-head. Mr. Herrera stopped teaching as well and was shocked to see Beavis and Butt-head as well.

"¡Señor Beavis y Señor Butt-head! ¿Qué estás haciendo aquí?" Mr. Herrera shouted in shock.

"Uh…huh huh huh…" Butt-head said. "Could you like, stop talking gibberish and talk normal?" Butt-head asked in a rather irritated voice.

"¡No hable a mí de esa manera!" ordered Mr. Herrera.

"Uh, Butt-head, heh heh, I can't understand a word this guy's saying. Eh heh heh heh!" Beavis said, scratching his skin.

"¡Usted muchachos tiene la varicela!" yelled Mr. Herrera.

"Whoa, cool!" Butt-head said.

"Do it again, do it again!" shouted Beavis. The boys continued snickering, but they didn't snicker as quickly as they normally would, as they were too busy scratching themselves. "Aggh! Aggh! It itches so bad!" cried Beavis.

"Uh huh huh huh," chuckled Butt-head. "You look like a wuss, Beavis. Uh huh huh huh," Butt-head said as he continued scratching his own body frantically. "Man, this acne really sucks. Uh huh huh huh."

"¿Acné? ¡Eso es no acné, imbéciles! ¡Usted tiene varicela!" yelled Mr. Herrera.

"Come on, Beavis, let's get out of here. This guy's pissing me off. Uh huh huh huh," said Butt-head.

"Yeah, yeah. Heh heh heh," said Beavis. The two got up and continued scratching themselves. However, before they could go, Mr. Herrera grabbed them.

"Come on, boys, we need to take you to the nurse and send you home," he said.

"No way, dillweed!" Butt-head said and smacked Mr. Herrera. "We're not gay. We don't want to have sex with you. If you try to take us home with you, then we'll charge for sexual harassment."

"What? No, no, that is not my intention…" Mr. Herrera tried to explain.

"Come on, Beavis, let's get out of here. Uh huh huh huh," Butt-head said. Beavis and he then ran as fast as they could out of Mr. Herrera's classroom.

"Come back here!" called Mr. Herrera. He chased Beavis and Butt-head down several halls.

"Agh! Stay away from us, you child molester!" cried Beavis. "Heh heh."

"Quick, Beavis, let's hide in the bathroom. Uh huh huh," suggested Butt-head.

Mr. Herrera continued chasing Beavis and Butt-head down a few more hallways, but suddenly, he couldn't find them anymore. Like magic, they were both gone! There wasn't a trace left of them. Mr. Herrera scratched his head in confusion. He shrugged his shoulders and went to alert the nurse that Beavis and Butt-head had the chickenpox.

Meanwhile, Beavis and Butt-head were in the bathroom in one of the stalls snickering and scratching their skin very frantically.

"Well, it looks like we got rid of that gay Spanish teacher. Uh huh huh huh," snickered Butt-head.

"Yeah. Heh heh. Now what do we do? Heh heh," said Beavis.

"Uh…let's go see Buzzcut. Uh huh huh huh huh," said Butt-head.

"Um, heh heh, yeah, okay. Heh heh," said Beavis. The two snickered for another second or two. "Hey, heh heh, how come there aren't any urinals in this bathroom?" asked Beavis.

"I don't know. Huh huh," said Butt-head.

Just then, the door opened, and three girls came in. "Oh my gosh, girls in the boys' bathroom!" screamed Beavis. A big, toothy grin stretched across his face, and his entire body started to vibrate. "I'm getting a stiffy! We're gonna score! Eh heh heh heh!" he screeched loudly.

"Settle down, assmunch!" Butt-head said, smacking Beavis. "Don't you know what this means? We're in the girls' room, not the boys' room!"

"Uh…heh heh…oh yeah…heh heh," said Beavis.

The girls had been overhearing Beavis and Butt-head's conversation and were freaked out by the fact that there were boys in the girls' restroom. They all screamed at the top of their lungs and then banged on the locked stall door. "Get out of here right now, you freaks!" screamed one of the girls.

Beavis and Butt-head unlocked the door and opened it and snickered ever so much. The girls screamed once more when they saw that Beavis and Butt-head were scratching themselves and that they had a severe case of the chickenpox.

"Boi-oi-oi-oi-oing!" Beavis said when he saw the girls.

"Hey, baby. Huh huh. Come to Butt-head," Butt-head said in a sultry voice.

"Agghh!!!" screamed the girls, who ran out of the bathroom in a panic.

Beavis and Butt-head then wandered out of the stall. "You think chicks hate dudes with acne? Heh heh. Maybe that's what scared 'em off. Eh heh heh heh," said Beavis.

"Yeah, that's probably it. Uh huh huh huh," said Butt-head. "We gotta get rid of this damn acne. Uh huh huh huh."

"Hey, let's go see Buzzcut. Heh heh," said Beavis.

"Uh…okay. Uh huh huh huh," said Butt-head. Beavis and Butt-head then left the girls' restroom and walked down the halls of Highland High School to find Mr. Bradley Buzzcut's classroom.

Chapter 4: Going Home

Beavis and Butt-head found the door to Mr. Buzzcut's room. As they entered the class, they noticed that Mr. Buzzcut was teaching algebra. He explained the procedures to solve an equation in a very loud voice and scolded students who solved a problem incorrectly.

Like Mr. Van Driessen, he had his back turned to the class, and he was writing on the board. He didn't notice that Beavis and Butt-head had come in. The two continued scratching their skin frantically, and they made noises of frustration as they did. Other students looked very paranoid at the sight of Beavis and Butt-head with chickenpox. They tried to scoot as far away from them as possible. Suddenly, one student blurted, "Mr. Buzzcut, sir, Beavis and Butt-head are here!"

"What!" roared Mr. Buzzcut. He turned around and saw the two troublemakers in the back of class snickering and scratching madly at their skin. "Beavis and Butt-head, what are you doing here? Don't you know that you are extremely contagious?"

"Uh…extremely what anus?" Butt-head asked as he scratched some pock marks on his left arm.

"You boys are sick! You must go home now, or you will contaminate any student in this room who has not had chickenpox!" roared Mr. Buzzcut.

"Chickenpox? No, asswipe, we don't have chickenpox – we have a really bad case of acne. Eh heh heh heh! We tried to cure it this morning, but that dumbass at the Maxi-Mart said it wouldn't help us. Eh heh heh heh!" Beavis said.

"You imbeciles!" shouted Mr. Buzzcut. "You do not have acne! You have a very severe case of the chickenpox! I order you both to go to the nurse and then to return home immediately!"

"Uh…okay. Uh huh huh huh," Butt-head said. "Come on, Beavis. Let's go to the nurse. Uh huh huh huh."

A few minutes later, Beavis and Butt-head were seated in the nurse's office. The nurse was taking their temperature and trying to contact Beavis and Butt-head's parents. Unfortunately, the nurse was unable to contact the boys' parents, so she assumed they could return home without any problems. The thermometers beeped, indicating that they had finished taking the boys' temperatures. The nurse took them out of Beavis and Butt-head's mouths and looked at the thermometers.

"Well boys, you both have a fever of 103 degrees. You'd better get home right away. Now, I recommend seeing your doctor as soon as possible, and in the meantime, try to get plenty of rest and take oatmeal baths to relieve the itching," the nurse said.

"Cool," Butt-head said.

Then, Beavis and Butt-head sang in unison, "Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh!"

"Hey, Beavis, huh huh, I just realized something. Uh huh huh," said Butt-head.

"Heh heh, what?" Beavis asked.

"If we have the chickenpox, then that means that we can't go to school. Let's have chickenpox every day so that we can't go to school anymore. Uh huh huh huh!" Butt-head said.

"Whoa, heh heh, cool!" Beavis said. Beavis and Butt-head continued snickering for another minute before the nurse had them go home.

Chapter 5: Get Well Soon

About two weeks passed before Beavis and Butt-head were nearly back to normal. Their pock marks had crusted over, and a large number of them had finally fallen off. The boys felt a lot better than they did several weeks earlier, and they felt about ready to return to school…even though they didn't really want to. They decided to stay home for about another week before going back.

Finally, one week later, Beavis and Butt-head's pock marks were just about gone. They were rather disappointed about it because it meant they had to go back to school.

"Man, this sucks. Eh heh heh heh. Now we gotta go back to school. Heh heh," said Beavis.

"No, we don't have to go back to school, dillweed. I've got an idea. Uh huh huh huh," said Butt-head.

The boys snickered as Butt-head took a red marker and put large red dots all over their bodies. When he finished, the boys went to Highland High School and went to Mr. Buzzcut's classroom.

"Ah, Beavis and Butt-head. I see your chickenpox is gone now. I suggest you get in your seats and make up all the work you've missed!" Mr. Buzzcut said.

"Uh…what are you talking about? Uh huh huh. We're still sick," Butt-head said.

"Yeah, yeah, check out all these red bumps and blisters. Eh heh heh heh heh!" cackled Beavis.

"Shut up!" thundered Mr. Buzzcut. "I know that you are lying. That is not chickenpox! You just put a lot of red dots on yourselves with markers! Now sit down and get to work!" Mr. Buzzcut ordered. Beavis and Butt-head sat down in their seats, and Mr. Buzzcut gave them each a three-foot-high stack of papers. "Start working, now!" ordered Mr. Buzzcut.

"Man, chickenpox sucks," Butt-head said.

"Yeah, yeah. Eh heh heh heh," Beavis said. The two boys continued to snicker as they finished all the work that they missed during their absence.

Beavis picked up a set of matches and preceded to rub a bundle together.

"Fire! I shall make fire!" Beavis gritted his teeth as he waited for the matches to set off.

"Come on fire."

The matches started to lose texture as Butthead entered the room.

"Uhh, what are you doing?"

Beavis threw down the matches, he kneeled down and put his hands over his head. "Eheh, e, ehehu. I just wanted to make fire." Beavis turned his face upward, "Is that too much to ask for Butthead."

"You need a lighter Buttmunch."

Beavis stood back up. "Oh yeah, hehehe, lighter. I forgot about that."

Beavis walked down to the nearest convince store and went to the front desk.

The clerk looked at Beavis. "Can I help you sir?"

"Hehehehe, yes you can. I need a lighter." Beavis turned away from the clerk, "That way I can finally set stuff on FFFire!"

"Sir are you of the age of 18 or older?"

"Uhh, think fast Butthead." He mumbled to himself.

"Uh, yes, yes I am. Hehehehe."

The clerk rolled his eyes. "Can I have proof of your age, sir? Like a driver's license."

"I don't drive sir, hehehe, but I promise I am over 18. Hehehe."

"Right, sir I cannot let you buy a lighter. Come back when your 18."

"Ehehe, come back when your 18, ehehehe." Beavis walked out the convince store back to his house and told Butthead the story.

"Huhuhuh, your not 18."

"It's not funny Butthead, and you not 18 either."

Butthead stopped laughing, "Oh yeah.."

Kind of Beavis's point of view. (Huhuh, point.)

Fire. I just want to set something on fire.

Beavis walked into the living room.

Hehehe, I need some T.V., hehehe.

The first thing that came on T.V. was the 4th July special the local channel had every year.

"Folks do we have a show for you."

"Hehehehe, it's not fair." He eyed the T.V. as family started to light off there own fireworks. Children started to gather around to watch.

Beavis eyed a little boy. "Hehehe, that kids not even 18. No fair."

I'll just have to make my own fire.

Beavis picked up his satellite television and went outside.

"Hey sir!" He spotted a man crossing the road.

The man spotted Beavis and then turned to walk away.

"Sir!" Beavis said as he caught up to him. Beavis put a finger on his television to identify a firework but accidently pointed at a child. "Do you know how to make these?"

The man eyed him suspicously and then walked away.

"Huhuhuhuh, rejected."

Beavis turned around to face Butthead, who had mysteriously appeared.

"I was not hitting on him, hehehe."

"Huhuhuhuh."

"It's not funny Butthead."

Beavis clenched his fist and started to shake. "I said it's not funny!" He threw his T.V. at Butthead's face.

Butthead dodged and then chuckled, "You missed, huhuhuhuh, your aim is worse than your pick up lines, huhuhuhuh."

Beavis stared straight ahead.

"Hey, I'm talking."

Beavis continued to stare.

"Uh, I don't swing that way, huhuhuh, even if that means scoring."

Fire.

"Fire!" Beavis said out-loud. "I created fire!"

Butthead turned around to stare at the old television. It had hit the ground and was somehow engulfed in fire.

"Uhh... yeah. Huhuhu, good job Beavis."

"Fire, fire, fire!" He took off his shirt and tossed it in the fire.

Butthead turned around to face Beavis again. "What are you doing Buttmunch."

"Creating FFFIIRRREEE!"

Butthead looked at the fire, deciding he was not to be outdone. "Huhuhh, you need some gasoline."

"Good idea Butthead."

The walked down the sidewalk but continued to keep there eyes on the fire.

"Ouuch." Beavis said as he knocked over a can of paint.

"HUhuh, Beavis do you know what this is."

"Ehehe, fire!"

Butthead shook his head. " No buttmunch, your to excited to know what your doing." He glared at the can. "This is straight up gasoline. Huhuhuh, Brooklyn's finest."

Beavis stared at the can and started to think. "I didn't even know Brooklynn had paint."

"Huhuh, let's use it."

Butthead took the can of paint and went back to the fire.

Hhehehe, know we will make very big fire, heheehe.

Butthead poured what was left of the can into the fire. slowly killing it.

"Ahh!" Beavis but his hands over his head. "What are you doing Butthead your killing it!"

Butthead looked at the dwindling fire, "Oh yeah." He threw down the can of paint. By that time there was only a small flare left of the massive fire.

"Fire!" Beavis fell to his knees in front of it. "I have failed you."

"Huhuhuh, you failed."

Beavis eyes bulged and he clinched his fist again. "Eheheheh, this all your fault Butthead! I had.. fire... and... you, you ruined it!"

Beavis was interrupted by the sound of sirens. "I'm busy!"

The cop car pulled over and three policemen got out.

"Woah, huhuh."

One of the Policemen went over to handcuff them while another one spoke. "You two are under arrest for arson. We've gotten several calls about two idiots that set a T.V. on fire."

"Hhuhuh." Butthead looked at Beavis. "This is cool." Then he turned to look at one of the Policemen. "Uh, are we on Cops, huhuh."

The cop pushed Beavis and Butthead into the vehicle and paused before slamming the door. "I hope you two are happy."

Beavis was still fuming. "I had FFFIIIRE! And then, I didn't have it anymore!"

The cop looked at Beavis. " Dont worry, they may not be fire but there's plenty of excitement where your going."

Beavis was still in a disfunctional state of mind.

Butthead raised his hand. "Uh, huhuhuh. Will we score officer?"

"Hahaha. Oh don't worry kid you'll do plenty of scoring."

"Huhuhuh, Cool!"

The cop slammed the door on a crying Beavis and a overly-excited Butthead, and drove away.

Beavis and Butthead are sitting on their couch, watching TV. Butthead brings up the remote and changes the channel a few times, until it comes to a commercial advertising a new video game. Both Beavis and Butthead's eyes widen at what they see.

"Whoa" Butthead says. On the TV, there are videos of gameplay being shown, including murdering many people and wrecking cars. An advertiser's voice comes on. "In the new video game Super Mega Destroyer Death 7, you can kill as many people as you want, wreck cars, have sex with prostitutes, and best of all it's only $59.99! Sales tax will apply."

As the commercial fades out, Butthead turns to Beavis.

"Beavis, uh huh huh, we gotta get this game." Butthead says.

"Heh, yeah! Yeah! We can cause explosions! And make FIRE!" Beavis says, starting to shake his fists, getting excited.

Beavis and Butthead walk through the doors to their local shop, and walk up to the register. There, a bored long-haired male stands, seeming to be half-asleep.

"Uh, hey." Butthead says. "You guys got that new game? Uh huh huh."

The clerk looks up. "Uh, which one?"

"Y'know." Butthead continues. "That one on TV where you can kill everyone."

"And make FIRE!!!" Beavis adds.

"Oh, Super Mega Destroyer Death 7? Yeah, we got it. Let me-wait..."

"Eh, what?" Butthead asks.

"How old are you?"

"Why do you care, assmunch?" Beavis replies, obviously wanting to play the game.

"Because." The store clerk continues, "It's an M-Rated game, you have to be 17 or older to buy it."

"Damn it! No!" Beavis screams.

"Shut up, dumbass." Butthead whispers. "I have an idea."

Butthead looks back up to the clerk. "Eh, I left my ID in the truck. Uh huh uh."

The clerk glances up and sees one van in the parking lot. "There's no truck out there. Don't lie to me, boys."

"DAMN IT!" Beavis says, starting to shake again.

"Eh, settle down Beavis. I have another idea. Uh huh huh." Butthead says.

Beavis and Butthead once again enter the game shop, but this time with a hobo who is holding a bottle of alcohol in one hand and flies are buzzing around him. They walk up to the counter.

"Uh, here's our dad. Uh huh huh." Butthead says.

The clerk covers his nose. "Oh, christ! He stinks!"

"Eh, don't discriminate." Butthead says.

"Heh heh, yeah." Beavis adds.

"Uhhh, alrightty boysss, tell 'um what game ya want...." the hobo says, clearly drunk.

"He knows what game we want. Uh huh huh." Butthead says.

The clerk hesitates, and grabs the game from the shelf, handing it over to the hobo. Butthead pays the cashier, and they walk out of the shop. The hobo, however, doesn't reach the door, and falls to the ground, passed out. Beavis grabs the game and then they head back home.

Back at home, Beavis and Butthead are watching TV. Beavis is holding the new video game. Butthead turns to him.

"Uh huh huh, what are you waiting for, Beavis? Put it in. Let's play."

"Heh heh, oh yeah." beavis says, taking the disc out. Beavis looks around for a minute.

"Um, hey Butthead. We don't have a video game system."

Everything falls silent for a minute, then Butthead speaks.

"Eh, oh yeah. Uh huh huh."

Both of them laugh.

Cartoons?Beavis and Butt-Head

? Follow/FavIdiots Are The Next Level By: AL19 ? A new student named Savannah moved from her noisy town, to Highland. Now that she's in Highland High School, Savannah has already noticed Beavis and Butthead as idiots. What to do with these morons? Rated: Fiction T - English - Humor - Words: 3,461 - Reviews: 4 - Favs: 2 - Follows: 1 - Published: May 2, 2012 - Status: Complete - id: 8080639

?+ ?-  ?   ?     ?   ?

Here I am in Highland, Texas. My parents and I have moved here because our hometown was too crowded or something. But I was pretty glad to get out of there because tons of people there were weird.

I am Savannah, and I will be the new student in Highland High School. As my parents and I moved into our new house, it looked amazing. And since I liked school (Not love, just like), I couldn't really wait to go to my new school.

It was the day before I was going to school. I asked my mom, "Mom? Is my new schedule there?"

"Yes it is, Savannah. Here you go," Mom replied. She picked up my schedule for my classes, and handed it to me. I was definitely not going to lose this because I'd have to hold it, and put it in my binder. Because if I didn't do that now, then I'll forget to bring it.

As I was getting ready for bed, I told my mom and dad, "Good-night!" They replied 'Good-night' back and let me go to bed, so that I could get ready for the next day. I slipped in my black blanket in my cozy bed, and drifted off to sleep. I smiled slightly while dreaming about Highland High School. Boy, was I pretty excited.

The next morning was very lovely. The sun was up and bright, very few clouds were in the sky, birds were chirping, and the fresh air was, well, fresh! I opened my window, and breathed in deeply while giving out a smile.

I ran downstairs, and ate some breakfast just as mom said, "Good morning, dear."

"Morning, mom!" I replied, still smiling. She smiled at me back. Dad already went to work because he left before I even got up. The good news though was that he would be home at about 7:00.

After I finished eating, I washed the bowl that I used, dried it, and put it away right before I set my things together so that I could get ready for my first day at Highland High School. Mom told me, "Good luck, Savannah."

I replied with a cheer, "Thanks, mom!" I then ran out the door, and started walking to school. It wasn't that windy, so I didn't need to bring a jacket with me. Hell, it was pretty warm, even in the morning.

The school was a few blocks away. That's why I didn't ride the bus.

At my left, I could see two boys going out of their house as well. I stopped for a second, and took a quick look at them. They didn't have backpacks, strangely. But were they going to school anyways? Oh well, it wasn't any of my business so I didn't bother them. But what was even weirder was that the two of them didn't look like…a 'normal' person. One had his gums exposed (With braces on his teeth, and he had brown hair), and the other had his bottom lip sticking out more than his upper lip (He had blonde hair).

I ignored them and headed straight for school.

A few minutes before the first bell rang, I looked through my schedule, and obviously had to get to my first period class. I tucked my long, blonde hair behind my ear as I thought, This shouldn't be hard.

I looked at my first classroom number one last time before I realized that I was at the right classroom. I smiled slightly, and entered the classroom. There, I saw my teacher, who was named Mr. Van Driessen. He seemed to notice me, and asked, "Are you Savannah?"

I chuckled, and replied, "Yes, I am."

"Well, Savannah, I hope you'll enjoy this school. But just watch out for Beavis and Butthead."

I raised a brow up, and was a little confused. "Who's Beavis and Butthead? And what's with the weird names?"

Van Driessen answered, "They're the students who sit in the back of the classroom. They're what you can say…different."

I blinked, and didn't really get what he was talking about. But come to think of it, I believe those weird names belonged to those weird looking boys I saw while I was walking to school.

I nodded my head, and said to him, "Thank you for warning me, then."

"You're welcome, Savannah," He replied. He let me sit down in a seat, and I sat down. I was almost to the back, but not to the far back, like Beavis and Butthead. Jeez, what kind of names are those? Was it really their parents that named them?

Deciding not to think about them for now, the bell had rung. Two more students then came into the classroom, and what do you know? Those weird looking guys named Beavis and Butthead were in my first period class! I had a feeling that they really were different than the rest of the students here (Different as in weirdos).

The two boys sat in their seats in the far back, and I could've sworn I saw them taking a quick look at me.

Just as class started, Van Driessen started to talk about the environment, but first said, "Class. I'd like all of you to meet our new student: Savannah. She came here from a different town in Texas. Now say hello."

All the students said to me, "Hello, Savannah." I chuckled a bit, and was surprised that they all said it.

My new teacher began to talk while I heard a few voices from the class. I was used to students talking to each other quietly, but I only heard two voices. And those were from those weirdos.

One of them said, "Hey, Beavis. Uh huh huh. Check out that new chick."

The other replied, "Yeah, heh heh. She's hot."

I blinked, and gave myself a what-the-hell look. I thought, What's with those two? Why are they adding 'uh huh huh' or 'heh heh' at the end of their sentences? Are they even human? I'm not even hot! Are they checking me out?

One of the things I wasn't actually used to was being checked out. Because then, it'd feel very awkward.

I turned my head for a second, and saw the brown haired guy, which is Butthead, saying, "Look! Uh huh huh. The chick is checking us out!"

The blonde, which I found out his name is Beavis, replied to Butthead, "Wow! Heh heh. You think we'll get a chance to score?"

"Uh…uh huh huh. I don't know, Beavis. We'll just ask her at lunch."

I turned my head back, and thought, Van Driessen's right. They are different! And they don't even know me, so they can't score with me!

I already knew what 'scoring' meant. It meant that they wanted to have sex. I wasn't surprised at that, but who the hell would want to score with these two weird looking students that don't even have backpacks? Bah, maybe they wanted to get a rise out of me. But who knew what was in their minds?

At lunch, I paid a hot lunch because I didn't exactly have time to pack my own. No, I'm not lazy.

I heard the familiar voices that belonged to Beavis and Butthead. As they were approaching me, I rolled my eyes and thought, Here we go. Wonder what these guys want.

My head rested on my hand as the two were sitting next to me. Butthead asked, "Hey, baby. Uh huh huh. I'm Butthead."

"And I'm Beavis! Heh heh." Beavis added.

I ate my hot dog, and asked, "Why are you calling me 'baby' when I don't even know you weird looking creeps?"

Butthead paused, only saying, "Uh…" But as he started to eat his hot dog, he finally said, "We like hot chicks. Uh huh huh."

"I can tell already," I replied as if it weren't already obvious.

Beavis said, "We want to score! Heh heh." Right after his weird comment, Butthead slapped him in the face, making both of them look more idiotic.

Oh boy, how did I already know they were stupid?

Butthead told him, "Shut up, butt munch! Uh huh huh." He turned to me, and asked, "So what's your name, baby? Uh huh huh."

I rolled my eyes again, and answered, "First, don't call me 'baby'. Second, it's Savannah."

"Whoa. Uh huh huh. That name kicks ass."

Beavis clenched his fists, and lifted them up and down, agreeing to Butthead, "Yeah, yeah! Heh heh! It reminds me of something…but I can't remember what! I think it's…uh…a cow!"

Butthead slapped Beavis across the face once again, and told him, "No, you dumbass! That's not what the name 'Savannah' comes from!"

"Then where does it come from? Heh heh."

"Uh…uh huh huh. I think it's from a bear."

I decided to leave, and I was finished with my lunch anyways, so it didn't matter much. But most of the reason why was because these two idiots would not stop bugging me. I went to go get a drink of water, at the water fountain, and drank some water. The water was cold, and refreshing.

Then, a voice came. "Are you the new girl?" I looked up, and looked at the girl who was calling me. She had long, brown hair, and wore a T-shirt and a long skirt.

I answered, "Yeah."

She replied, "You've met Beavis and Butthead, haven't you?"

"Sadly, I have. I can already tell that they're stupid."

She chuckled, and walked closer to me. "They are. No matter how bad they want to score, they never will because they're too idiotic."

I laughed along, and said, "My name is Savannah."

"I'm Cristina," She replied. Cristina shook hands with me, giving me a smile. I smiled back at her, and I figured that we were going to become friends quickly. Well, better have her as a friend than Beavis and Butthead. Otherwise it'd be pretty chaotic, or so I thought.

Wow, I didn't expect to make a friend this quickly.

The girl named Christina asked, "You want me to show you around? Since you are new?"

I smiled at her, and answered, "That'd be nice. Thank you."

"Anytime." Cristina laughed once more and began to show me the classes and the rest of the school, including the gym. Gym was going to be my next class after lunch, but I was flexible so I was really prepared.

After lunch was over, I went to the girls' locker room, and started to change from my every day clothes, to my gym clothes. I was just glad that I didn't have to wear my every day clothes because back in my old town, my school had gyms where people stay in their regular clothes, and it wasn't fun.

I was wondering who my gym teacher was since I haven't really met him or her yet. But as the girls' and I were putting on our gym clothes, we heard laughs, and one voice said, "Shut up, Beavis. The girls' will hear you. Uh huh huh." I knew for a second that it was those freaks.

I shouted at them, "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, YOU CREEPS!"

Beavis screamed in panic, "AHH! Let's get out of here!" I could hear them running away from the girls' room.

I shook my head as my new friend Cristina asked, "Freaks, huh?"

"Yep, and I've just met them," I answered.

We finished changing into our P.E. clothes, and ran out of the changing room. There, I saw our gym teacher. He was a guy, and his hair was…straight up, I guess. Everyone else, even the boys, was in a white shirt and shorts.

I noticed Beavis and Butthead standing next to the gym teacher, and Butthead said stupidly, "Uh, Mr. Buzzcut. I can't be here right now. I have to, uh, go visit my uncle. Uh huh huh."

I shook my head once again, and figured that the gym teacher's name was Mr. Buzzcut. Was that his nickname, or his real name? Well, either way, I didn't like it that much, but I'd have to get used to it.

He shouted at Butthead in an angry tone, "You don't even know if you have an uncle, Butthead! You idiots have to stay here, and do what we will all do in gym today!" He pointed at the ground while he kept shouting at them. I didn't care if he called them idiots because I knew that perfectly.

Cristina whispered to me, "Get used to his shouting, because he'll do that a lot." I looked at her, and noticed that she was right. I had to get used to it otherwise I'll have trouble in gym.

Mr. Buzzcut announced, "We'll be wrestling today! And the first who will wrestle will be Beavis vs. Cristina!" I wasn't surprised that Beavis' name was called, but it made me wonder if Cristina would knock Beavis down to the ground (Or blue mat, which was here). Well, one thing's for sure: Beavis is as stupid as Butthead.

As Cristina stood in front of Beavis, Buzzcut shouted, "NOW WRESTLE!" He blew the whistle, and Christina immediately picked up Beavis (Sort of), pushing him to the mat roughly.

"OW!" Beavis exclaimed loudly. "WHAT'RE YOU TRYING TO DO? KILL ME?"

Cristina rolled her eyes, but not before answering with sarcasm, "Yes, I'm trying to kill you."

Butthead gave out his usual laugh. "Uh huh huh. You got your ass kicked by a girl, Beavis."

"Urgh, shut up, butthole!" Beavis exclaimed back. He managed to stand back up, but his hand was on his hip because he was still hurt. But he doesn't have an injury.

As I chuckled along with Christina since she kicked Beavis' ass, Mr. Buzzcut shouted (As to causing the whole gym to echo), "Now we'll do something different! Savannah!" He pointed at me just as I blinked. He continued, "Kick Beavis and Butthead in the jimmies!"

Beavis and Butthead had shocked look on their faces. I was actually surprised rather than shocked. I pointed at myself, giving Buzzcut a face saying 'Me?'

He said, "Yes! Now kick them in the jimmies since they're a bunch of idiots!"

I thought for a second, but thought, Yes, they are a bunch of idiots. Buzzcut's right.

I made a smirk, and replied to the coach, "With pleasure."

My feet started to dash to the weird looking morons, and as soon as I got close to them, I lifted one of my legs up, kicking Beavis, and then Butthead in the crotches.

Both of them opened their eyes widely as they were holding onto their crotches, crying out for mercy.

"Th-That chick just kicked our asses, heh heh!" Beavis exclaimed in a girly tone. Everyone, including me, laughed as the two idiots were lying on the ground.

Man, that felt good!

The next day, as class was starting, my new friend Cristina came up to me as I sat in my desk, and complimented me, "That was amazing, Savannah! I can't believe you actually did it!"

I chuckled, and replied, "I wasn't that confident in myself, but it did feel good to beat the crap out of those two."

We continued to talk until the bell rang. Every student sat in their own seats, including Beavis and Butthead. I pretty much ignored them because I couldn't help but laugh as I remembered what had happened yesterday.

Van Driessen came into the classroom as the late bell rang while holding a few folders, filled with paper, obviously.

"Morning, class. Today, we will be talking about the environment." He was a bit slow at talking, but it was better than a speedy teacher. Meaning that he or she would talk so fast, that I could barely keep up with him or her.

For the past 5 minutes, he was talking about the way people recycled, and how people cleaned up beaches (You know, picking up bottles and such).

I wasn't really bored of listening to him, really. But I was pretty distracted by Beavis and Butthead talking to each other. Christina was a few seats in front of me, so she probably didn't hear them (How could some students not hear them?). I, on the other hand, heard every word they said.

Butthead told Beavis, "Dammit Beavis, that Savannah chick kicked our asses yesterday, uh huh huh."

Beavis replied to him, "Yeah, yeah. Heh heh. Should we kick her ass later?"

"No, dumbass. We should, like, reason with her or something. Uh huh huh."

Just as I was rolling my eyes at the two biggest idiots ever, I could hear them scoot out of their chairs, and walk away from their desks.

Oh great.

Beavis grabbed my arm, pulling me out of my desk. The three of us then began to leave the room. Van Driessen asked them, "Beavis? Butthead? Where're you going? And why're you taking Savannah?"

Butthead answered, "Uh, uh huh huh. We're, like, gonna do something. Bye for now, ladies." We all got out of the classroom, and to be honest, I wasn't really that worried about myself. In fact, I had no fear at all.

As we were a few feet from the class, Beavis let go of my arm and asked me, "So why'd you kick our asses yesterday? Heh heh."

I gave out a laugh, and told them, "I did what Buzzcut said. And besides, you two are a bunch of idiots."

Butthead said, "Uh huh huh. Buzzcut's a buttmunch."

"Yeah, he, like, yells at us every day and we don't even get to score at all! Heh heh."

I once again gave out a laugh, and asked them, "You wanna know what the name 'Savannah' comes from?"

They asked at the same time, "Uh, what?"

I placed both my hands on the sides of their heads, and bonked them together. I answered, "It's from a wild cat." They wobbled a little, and rubbed their heads as I left the two. I wasn't really going anywhere. I was just going to get a drink of water.

As I set my hands in my pockets, I thought, 'Buttmunch'…that is actually funny.

I've never heard of anyone say those kinds of names. And for a name that's 'new' to me, I would think it's funny. Unless it sounds very awkward and disturbing.

I looked up the ceiling, and gave out a smile. I knew that Beavis and Butthead would be total idiots, but I was pretty much going to like the town I now live in.

I don't think it was strange for me to write a Beavis and Butthead fanfic. XD

Anyways, I actually wasn't trying to make Savannah beautiful. It's just that Beavis and Butthead always say stuff like "She's hot" or "Hey baby". And for the truth, Beavis and Butthead were probably the hardest to write in character! I usually don't mind anime/cartoon characters being OOC, but I would much rather prefer these two funny idiots to be in character. LOL And who said this would be easy? ;P

A Savannah really is a cat breed. :P

Changing topic: I actually became a fan of this show in October of 2011. Reason for that was because I didn't really watch it when I was young (The show was first aired in late 1992! Over a year before I was even born! O.O) because I thought they looked weird. But as I watched the "newer" episodes plus the old ones, I realized that this show gave me the laughs. XD So yeah, I'm a fan now. LOL

To be honest, I usually have trouble writing my one-shots long, because I never have much to write (I hope you get what I mean, because I suck at explaining. ^^"), but I was surprised that I wrote 3100+ words of this.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this Beavis and Butthead one-shot! Please review if you'd like! And I did try my best at it. :)

Pokémon + Beavis and Butt-Head Crossover

? Follow/FavBeavis and Butthead in Pokepets By: Michivous12 ? Beavis wants a pet. A Pokemon pet to be exact. So he sets out to find one, but ends up on an adventure he wont forget. Maybe.

Chapter 1: Pokemon exist...dont they?

The story starts with our favorite butt-knockers watching TV.(what a suprise) They were watching a show about a boy and his dog.

"Good girl, Lassie!" the boy said. While watching, Beavis got an idea.

"Hey Butt-Head, we should get a dog." Beavis said.

"Uh, dont you remember what happend last time we got a dog, Beavis?" Butt-Head said. Beavis thought for a moment. "Heh uh, oh yeah. That damn dog kept attacking me, heh heh." Beavis said.

"Uh, yeah. That was cool, huh huh." Butt-Head said.

"Hey, uh, like what happend to our dog?" Beavis asked.

"Uh, I think he ran away." Butt-Head said.

"Oh. Well, we should get another pet." Beavis said.

"Beavis you dumb-ass. Pets are expensive and you have to feed them and take care of them. Its expensive." Butt-Head said, getting a bit annoyed.

"Well, we could teach it how to feed itself." Beavis simply said.

"Beavis you butt-munch, you cant teach it that. They're not smart. Butt-Head said getting really annoyed.

Beavis didnt say anything for a few minutes until he got an idea, then he grabbed the remote and changed the channel.

"Damn it Beavis! Change it back!" Butt-Head demanded.

"NO! Look!" Beavis shouted.

Butt-Head looked at the tv and saw a boy wearing a hat, finger-less gloves, a black shirt, a blue jacket and blue pants talking to a furry, yellow mouse of some kind, with red circles on its cheeks, brown stripes, long ears with black tips and a thunderbolt shaped tail.

"C'mon Pikachu, lets win this!" the boy said with determination in his eyes. "Pika!" the yellow mouse said.

"What the hell is this crap? Butt-Head asked to no one in particular.

"Its called Pokemon," Beavis said. "Its about a kid named Ash, who travels with monsters called Pokemon. See the yellow thing? Its name is Pikachu. Pikachu is an electric mouse. He shoots electricity from the sacks on his cheeks." Beavis said.

"Sacks. Huh huh. Cheeks. Huh huh." Butt-Head chuckled.

"Heh heh." Beavis giggled.

After the show, Butt-Head started getting annoyed again.

"Damn it Beavis. Why the hell did you make me watch that crap?" Butt-Head asked.

"We need to get a Pokemon. Like a Charmander." Beavis said.

"Beavis you butt-knocker, those retarded things arent real." Butt-Head said. "They are made to keep dumbasses like you entertained while makes smart people like me kill ourselves or worse, become like you."

"Dont call me a butt-knocker you son of a BITCH!" Beavis yelled. "And Pokemon are real and are NOT retarded, I'll prove it." Beavis said.

"You and what other butt-knocker?" Butt-Head said. Beavis shot up from the couch. "THATS IT! IM GONNA KICK YOUR ASS! Beavis shouted from the top of his lungs and lunged at Butt-Head, knocking him of the couch. The fight lasted for an hour with both boys covered in bruises and scrapes. Butt-Head gets up to sit on the couch while Beavis goes to the door and opens it walking out. "I will find proof that Pokemon exist! YOU just watch!" Beavis then slams the door causing the wall to crack even more.

I will prove they exist. Butt-Head will see.

Chapter 2: The Secret about Pokemon

Beavis looked around. Heh, like ok, it shouldn't be THAT hard to find living proof that Pokemon exist. But...where to look first is the question. hmm. Beavis thought to himself. A second later he figured where to look first. "Oh yeah! Tall grass!" Beavis said. From all the games, anime and research, he learned that most Pokemon live in tall grass. Some live in forests, caves or water, like the ocean and rivers. So he looked and looked until he found a meadow. His eyes widen and he ran to the meadow. Then he stopped to think.

So I walk around until I find a shadow of a Pokemon.

Beavis shrugs his shouders. Seems easy enough-but wait! How would I fight it? I dont have a Pokemon! Even more important...PokeBalls! I dont have those either. This sucks. Beavis stood in the same place for what seems like forever, thinking until he got an idea. I can go to that new Japanese store and buy some PokeBalls. They have to be about $2 each. Beavis searched his pockets for money but found nothing. Damn it! Beavis thought. How am I gonna get money? A few minutes passed until he figured how to get money. Thats it! I can go to Tom Anderson's house. He probably has some stupid thing for me to do like get pills or do something. Beavis turned back and went to Tom Anderson's. He eventually reached Tom's house and knocked on the door and a few seconds later, Tom opened it.

"Well hello there young man. What can I do for you?" Tom said in his texan drawl.

"Heh heh, uh, like I was wondering if you need anything from the store or something." Beavis said.

"Well actually I do need some things." Tom said handing Beavis a list. "I cant get them myself because I need to take care of the missus. Heres a $20. I'll be waiting."

"Heh like, you can count on me." Beavis said walking down the street.

That was easy. Now onto the cool Japanese store whose sign I cant read for crap.

Beavis kept walking until he heard his stomach growl. Im hungry. Beavis took out the $20 from his pocket. Well, I dont need too many PokeBalls so I guess I can use a few bucks to get some nachos. He went to the Maxi-Mart and bought some nachos, leaving only $18 left to buy PokeBalls. Beavis eventually reached the Japanese store with the windows plastered with Pikachu, Kirby, Mario, Link and other characters. Inside the store, it had many Japanese stuff ranging from Pokemon to Kirby to Super Mario to The Legend of Zelda. Other than games it had movies and tv shows in full Japanese language with English subtitles. In another section of the store it had toys and cards(mostly Pokemon, but you get the idea). Beavis looked around the store for PokeBalls but only found toy PokeBalls. Beavis gave up looking and talked to the Satoshi.

"Hey uh, hi Satoshi." Beavis said.

"Oh, hey Beavis-Chan. How you doing?" Satoshi said.

"Fine. But uh, I was like, wondering if you sell PokeBalls or even better Pokemon here. Beavis said. The man was confused. "Uh, yeah." Satoshi said.

"I mean REAL Pokemon and PokeBalls." Beavis said. Satoshi looked around and walked up to the window and closed the blinds.

"Okay Im not supposed to tell you this but...I DO sell real Pocket Monsters." Satoshi said.

Beavis' eyes widened. "Woah! heh, like cool!"

"Shh! Shut up!" Satoshi said. Listen, I do have em but you gotta be very quiet, okay?"

"Like, ok." Beavis said.

"Follow me." Satoshi said opening a secret passage. He led Beavis down the passage. It was quite a long passage but eventually they reached a room filled with many Pokemon.

"Woah!" Beavis said in amazement.

"Hai. Satoshi said.

Beavis was so excited he practicly jumping up and down. But something confused him.

"Hey uh, wait a minute. If Pokemon ARE real. Why are they here and not owned by people? Beavis asked.

"The reason is because people are VERY irresponsible. Satoshi said. We have tested to see if people can live with Pocket Monsters, but they use them for personal gain. They didnt treat them with respect so, many of the creatures ended up dying or started killing the humans in anger."

Beavis was horrified and pissed that people didnt care for them. To Beavis thats like not treating your familly or friends with love and respect or something.

"But heh, I thought people here didnt know of them until '96." Beavis said.

"The reason why is because centuries ago, when people discovered Pocket Monsters, they were forced to do work wearing metal collars and saddles as slaves. Most Pocket Monsters were treated so horribly that they lashed out in anger or were killed because they refused to work. Until one person made a differance. My ancestor, Yoshi Tajiri found two Pocket Monsters that could help him. Jirachi and Uxie. Uxie made everyone forget all about them and Jirachi made Yoshi's wish come true. And that was 'Free all Magical Creatures so they can live in peace. Satoshi said.

Beavis was in shock. He never thought that people were that messed up.

"Woah. Heh, like thats horrible. Come to think of it that sounds a little like that movie Pokemon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life." Beavis said.

"Thats kind of like that except not as horrible." Satoshi said.

Beavis stood, thinking.

"What if I teach everyone the importance of treating them with respect?" Beavis asked.

"That would be great but it cant be done, besides not EVERYONE like Pocket Monster.

"Thats true but everyone has to respect people's likes and dislikes even if they dont agree with them. Beavis said.

"Well, you seem determined to change everyone's mind. If I give you a Pocket Monster will promise to take care of it?

"Heh, uh really? Heh, that'll be cool! Just like Ash I promise to do whatever it takes." Beavis said.

"Well, okay which Pokemon do you w-"

"CHARMANDER!" Beavis shrieked. the man was stunned for a few seconds but snapped out of it.

"Charmander?"

"Heh, yeah." Beavis said happily. "Charmander are cool."

"Are you sure you want a-?"

"Yes, damn it! Dont you HAVE one?" Beavis asked in a loud voice.

"Yes." Satoshi said in a defeated voice. "Come here Charmander."

Heh heh, you said 'come'." Beavis giggled.

Soon a yellow lizard with blue eyes, a green bandana with a flame pattern on it and a blue flame-lit tail came.

"For the last time its 'Mystery'." the Charmander asked.

Beavis stood there in astonish. He's seen many Charmander before, some shinies, but never one with a BLUE-COLORED flame on its tail and one that can speak human speech.

"Mystery. I want you to meet your new trainer." Satoshi said pointing at Beavis.

"Awesome! A trainer that can take me on adventures or can simply hang out with?" the Charmander said.

"Yes."

"Sweet! This kicks ass! Oh and by the way my nickname that I prefer over Charmander is 'Mysterious Flame. Or Mystery for short." Mystery said.

"Heh like, ok. Beavis said.

"And what is the name of my brand-new trainer?" Mystery asked.

"Beavis."

"Good name but mine is better, heh heh heh." Mystery laughed.

"Yeah 'Mystery' is a jokester but she means well and is a valuable partner and friend." the man said.

"C'mon! Lets go Beavis!" Mystery said.

"Wait! Here Beavis," the man put a PokeBall in Beavis' hand. The PokeBall was purple on the upper half and plain white on the lower half. On the purple part it said 'Mystery' in light blue and it has a blue flame patern on the back of the PokeBall.

"Cool, huh." Mystery said. Thats my home bitch!"

"Mystery! Watch your languange!" Satoshi said pissed. "Im sorry Beavis."

"Heh, like thats ok me and Butt-Head curse or something too." Beavis said.

"Cool! Does that mean I can curse around you? Mystery asked.

"I guess so." Beavis said.

"Okay before this gets outta hand, Beavis you remember what you said you would do right?

"Yeah, heh, like dont worry about a thing, me and Mystery will be fine." Beavis assured.

"Okay off you go!"

"Heh, like lets go Mystery!"

"Right behind you!

"Heh heh, you said 'behind'.

"You're a behind."

As they ran and laughed, Beavis and Mystery are soon gonna head into the biggest adventure of their lives.

Coming of Age

Act XIII – The Swan Song of Burger World

"Hey Beavis," Butt-head looked out the window of Van Driessen's van. "See that dude over there?"

"Yeah, heh heh, he looks like a bum!"

"Hmm, it looks like a hitchhiker," Van Driessen acknowledged. "And he looks like he's lost."

"Wait a minute, that guy looks familiar," Stewart pointed out.

"He does?" asked Beavis.

"Actually he does," Butt-head took a closer look as the van got closer. "I think he's some fat dude we know."

"Really?" Beavis looked surprised.

"Whoa, it's that manager dude!" Butt-head exclaimed.

"He's your manager?" asked Van Driessen. "I'd better pull over for a second."

The van pulled over on the highway to make a stop for the man. Van Driessen was the first to step out, followed by Butt-head and the rest.

"Uh, is that you?" asked Butt-head bluntly.

The man turned to face them. He was a chubby individual with curly hair and a mustache on his face, followed closely by stubs on his chin from lack of shaving recently. He wore a Burger World uniform and from the likes of his present situation, it had not gone into a washer and dryer for quite a while. His hair was unkempt and messy and his overall appearance was that of a total wreck. Despite all this, he was still recognizable to his two employees.

"Whoa, it really is that manager dude!" Beavis cried.

"Uh, what're you, like, doing out here?" asked Butt-head.

Before the manager could answer, a large black car from behind them stopped. Buzzcut stepped out looking angrier and more irritated than before. As part of his mission, he trailed the gang from behind to keep them safe.

"What in the hell is going on here?" demanded Buzzcut. "How many more bathroom stops do you two idiots need to make?"

"Actually Bradley," Van Driessen informed. "This is for something different."

"Come to gloat at my misfortunes, I see," the Burger World manager groaned. "As if my life couldn't get any worse!"

"You look like a dirty bum!" Butt-head pointed out.

"Yeah, heh heh!" chuckled Beavis. "Take a shower, hippie!"

"That's not funny!" insisted the manager. "I've had to close down the business finally due to lack of customers and it's all your fault!"

"Excuse me, sir," Stewart asked. "But what happened?"

The Burger World manager saw Stewart and recognized him. He had been friends with Mr. Stevenson, who was a semi-regular customer at Burger World until it got progressively worse with Beavis and Butt-head screwing up orders to the nth degree.

"Oh, it's you Stewart," the manager seemed to calm down visibly. "Well, I guess I should say it all began the day I hired these two bumbling morons. Back then, the business was just starting and I had to accept whatever help I could get at the time. I made the mistake of choosing these two!"

"Lately, health inspections took one final look at the restaurant and declared that it was unsuitable for business," he continued. "I've been blacklisted from ever working for a Burger World again."

"Yeah, Burger World sucks!" Butt-head agreed. "Who'd wanna work at that place?"

"Apparently you," Daria pointed out.

"Shut up, Diarrhea!" Beavis told her. "We were just there for the drinks, heh heh heh!"

"Even my own family refuses to talk to me now," the manager broke down. "How am I supposed to carry on now that my life's ruined?"

"You could just get another job," Butt-head said tactlessly. "Uh, huh huh huh!"

"Why you little—" the former Burger World manager finally lost it and grabbed Butt-head by the neck.

"Yeah, heh heh!" Beavis egged him on. "Choke him! Choke him!"

Before Butt-head could run out of breath, Buzzcut grabbed on to the former manager and yanked him off, throwing him to the ground.

"As much as I'd like to see Butt-head get his ass kicked, I'm afraid I'll have to restrain you from doing so," explained Bradley Buzzcut who took out his Federal Agent badge. "You see, I'm under special orders to protect these two."

"Heh heh heh heh heh!"

"Huh huh huh huh huh!"

The manager looked at the duo with narrowed eyes.

"Besides… nobody kicks their asses but me," Buzzcut added quietly when he was sure nobody heard him.

"Are you alright?" Cassandra asked the manager. "Is there anything you need?"

"I need my life back," the Burger World manager muttered bitterly.

"If you want, we could drive you to the next town," Van Driessen offered. "We're going there to stop for food and gas."

"There's no way I'm getting in the car with those two!" the manager replied furiously.

"Actually," Buzzcut grabbed Beavis and Butt-head by their collars. "I have a good arrangement planned for you."

The new arrangement was made for the next forty five minutes before they could reach the upcoming town. Beavis and Butt-head sat in the back of Buzzcut's car while the former Burger World manager sat in the front.

"Are you two ready to apologize for ruining this man's life?" demanded Buzzcut.

"Uh, what?" asked Butt-head.

"Um, what're we gonna apologize for?" Beavis questioned.

The manager sighed. "Can't we just drop these little jerks off on the side of the road?"

"Huh huh huh!" Butt-head laughed. "He said jerk off!"

"Heh heh heh heh heh!"

"You know," the manager glanced back. "You only had to work for 15 hours a week. Why couldn't you make the most out of that time?"

"Um, I was too busy picking my nose?" Beavis offered.

"Yeah, then Beavis flicked his boogers onto the fryer!" Butt-head recalled.

"That's exactly why Burger World was declared unsanitary," the manager rolled his eyes and readjusted his glasses. "You two found every excuse you could to not work diligently!"

"Uh, it was Beavis's fault," Butt-head shifted the blame onto his companion. "He was always messing around with the meat."

"No way, Butt-head," protested Beavis. "You were the one who put that rat in Anderson's burger."

"You put a RAT in someone's BURGER?" the manager yelped.

"Uh, one time there was also a roach," Butt-head recalled.

"Are you sure we can't pull over?" the manager asked Buzzcut. "Then I can throttle these idiots with my bare hands?"

"I ain't stopping until we get to the next town," replied Buzzcut. "But by all means, continue telling Beavis and Butt-head what failures they are at life."

"How do you think Beavis and Butt-head are doing?" asked Stewart. "Think they've made up with their manager yet?"

"I have my doubts," Daria replied.

"Why is that?" asked Van Driessen.

"Well, for one thing," explained Daria. "Beavis and Butt-head were never model students. That kind of attitude carries on into the workplace."

"Why is it that every time, you have something negative to say about my friends?" demanded Stewart.

Daria sighed. "Can't you tell they're just taking advantage of you?"

"Well maybe sometimes they do it a little," Stewart finally admitted. "But does that mean you should keep up your negative attitude about them?"

"Stewart," Daria began. "I'm only being truthful about them."

"I swear, you have this attitude all the time," Stewart allowed a flicker of frustration to show. "You always have to say something cynical or condescending. Can't you loosen up for once? See the dark cloud's silver lining?"

"To paraphrase Popeye," Daria told Stewart plainly. "I am what I am."

It was then that Stewart realized he had gone too far with that accusation. He didn't even know everything there was to know about Daria and here he was, passing judgment on her. Deep down, he felt a bit ashamed.

"Well," Stewart finally said in an attempt to be reconciliatory. "Is there something about Beavis and Butt-head that you think is positive?"

"Actually yes," Daria told him truthfully. "I admire the fact that through thick and through thin, they stay true to themselves in the face of change. They stare Zeitgeist in the face and laugh. For that, they've earned the respect of yours truly."

"Zeitgeist?" asked Stewart.

"It means the spirit of the ages," Cassandra translated for Stewart. "No matter how much the times change or how life moves on, both Beavis and Butt-head have had their feet rooted deeply into the ground like ancient red oak trees in the face of the changing world around them."

Van Driessen, Stewart, and Daria all paused for a minute. Because Van Driessen was driving, he could not turn back. Stewart and Daria, however, stared at Cassandra in awe, clearly not expecting such insight from her. Cassandra noticed this too.

"Whatever the case," she went on. "I know that Beavis and Butt-head are not bad people deep down. Had they had the chance to grow up in a normal, loving family, their lives would surely be different today. And even now, despite their background, it's a miracle they haven't ended up like Todd. The seeds they've sown into this Earth weren't fresh seeds, but were never truly evil either. In time, I believe karma will serve Beavis and Butt-head the justice and the happiness they deserve."

"Umm…. you want to comment on that?" Daria looked at Stewart, a little shocked from what Cassandra had said.

"Er, not really," Stewart said. "How about you?"

"I'm good."

After the forty five minutes had passed, Buzzcut pulled his car up shortly behind Van Driessen's van. All this time, he had had enough of the constant laughter and snickering he heard from the duo. The former Burger World manager was also in the same boat as he ran out of the car and bolted for the nearby bar.

"Nothing to say for yourselves?" Buzzcut closed the door to his car.

"Uh, can we, like, get some food now?" asked Butt-head.

"Yeah, I'm hungry!" Beavis noticed Van Driessen, Stewart, Daria, and Cassandra entering into the local dinery.

"You two are gonna starve for as long as it takes until you realize the error of your ways!" Buzzcut glared at the two coldly.

"This sucks!" Butt-head declared.

"Yeah, I wanted to get some nachos…" Beavis looked down at his rumbling stomach.

"You two wait here!" Buzzcut ordered. "I'm going into the gas station to buy some spare parts."

After Buzzcut had left, Butt-head looked at Beavis with a cunning idea in mind.

"Hey Beavis," Butt-head gestured towards the bar the Burger World manager had gone into. "Let's go to that bar! I think we can, like, drink now or something."

"Okay, heh heh heh!"

"Whoa!" exclaimed Butt-head. "This place kicks ass!"

To both boys, the bar was an amazing sight. Around them were drunken alcoholics, strippers who hung across the poles, and suspicious-looking biker gangs. To the very corner was the Burger World manager, drinking himself silly with the money he had gathered from panhandling.

"Um, could we have a drink, sir?" Beavis sat down at the bar.

"Can I see some ID, please?" asked the bartender.

"Uhh, we left it back home," Butt-head told him.

"What?" the bartender was surprised. "Then no drinks!"

"Damn it!" Beavis ordered. "Give us the drinks, asswipe!"

"Hey AJ!" the bartender shouted to a particularly vicious looking man who sat at a nearby table with three gang members. "We've got ourselves some youngin's who refuse to show me some ID!"

"Well, whaddya know," AJ got up. He was a 6'2 man with a goatee that hung on his face like a tattoo across his chin. Spikes were adorned across the bands he wore and a leather jacket complimented his muscular body. AJ walked towards the two, followed up by his three gang members.

"Look what we have here," AJ grabbed Beavis by the collar. "Some little punk who refuses to pay the piper?"

"Actually, I like to play my piper, heh heh heh!" Beavis chuckled.

AJ was not amused. He threw Beavis onto the table with one quick fling. His followers turned their attention to Butt-head. They grabbed him and threw him to the ground mercilessly. AJ turned to Beavis and punched him viciously, knocking the blonde to the floor. AJ's gang then proceeded to beat Butt-head down, kicking him as he was on the ground.

"Uhhhhh!" groaned Butt-head.

"Aaahhh! Help!" Beavis cried.

"Huh huh! You're getting your ass kicked!" Butt-head chuckled briefly before getting punched across the face. "Uhhhhh!"

"You are too, butthole!" Beavis shouted back before being punched in the gut by an angry AJ.

"Aww, poor little boy gonna cry for his mommy?" AJ held Beavis up, taunting him.

Two of AJ's gang held Beavis tightly as the other one grabbed a beer bottle and poured beer on top of Butt-head's head. All the while, the drunken Burger World manager looked at Beavis and Butt-head with an indiscernible expression across his face, as if recalling all the moments he had in the past with Beavis and Butt-head.

A myriad of things were going through the mind of the former Burger World manager as he remembered all the times he had before with the duo. He remembered all the times Beavis and Butt-head had shown up late for work. He remembered all the money they had cost him because of their incompetence. He remembered all the times they nearly got Burger World shut down because of their unhygienic ways. He remembered all the times they had gotten themselves and even him injured because of their misinterpretation of the concept of worker's compensation. He remembered all the pain, misery, suffering, and agony they had inflicted upon him and his business.

But then he remembered something else. He remembered how the two had worked for him since their freshman year and how they had stuck with their part-times jobs for all of high school. He remembered the times they had given up on Holiday breaks to stay at the restaurant for overnight shifts. Most importantly, he remembered how Beavis and Butt-head had stayed and worked for him when nobody else would.

"Well, time to teach you boys the real lesson," AJ took out a pair of brass knuckles as he looked at thoroughly pummeled Beavis.

"Heh heh heh heh heh," Beavis chuckled. "That hurt…"

"Uh, I think I broke my hip bone," Butt-head moaned as the gang members placed him in a chokehold. "Huh huh huh…"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" a drunken rage soon rang out, with all the fury of a madman, who had been consumed by a seething anger that also had the desire to avenge the great injustice being committed.

As AJ turned around to see what it was, a chair smashed down on his head, knocking him head over heels to the floor. Standing over him was the former Burger World manager, with looks that could kill.

"Don't… you… lay… a hand… on… my…. Boys…." the Burger World manager spat angrily.

"Get him!" the gang members dropped Butt-head and attacked the Burger World manager.

Very quickly, the manager grabbed onto the two legs of the chair and smashed it down on one of the gang members, taking him out of the fight early on. He then picked up a stool and smashed it over the head of another. The final thug rushed the manager but got knocked out as soon as the manager smashed into his face, not bothering to pull his punches.

"Hey, you can't do that!" the bartender protested. "Those boys needed to be taught a lesson!"

"Shut up, you!" the Burger World manager spun around and grabbed his face, slamming the bartender nose-first into the wood.

AJ got up and picked up an unopened beer bottle. Without hesitation, he brought it down and smashed it onto the former Burger World manager's head, knocking him to the ground.

"You're screwed up, man!" AJ yelled, now bleeding from his forehead from the injury the manager had given him a few seconds ago. "Now I'm gonna show you who's boss!"

"Think again, hooligan!"

Buzzcut punched AJ across the jaw. Again and again, he laid into AJ with heavy blows until the bald man fell to the floor, unable to take the punishment being dished out to him by the former US Marine.

"Uh oh," Butt-head crawled back up. "It's Buzzcut!"

"I had a feeling I'd find you idiots in this seedy bar!" Buzzcut barked.

In a matter of minutes, the police had arrived. They took away AJ, his gang, and the bartender in handcuffs. Van Driessen and the others had come just in time to see what was going on.

"Uh, I'm gonna be feeling that for a while," Butt-head said, still bandaged up on his left arm.

"Yeah, heh heh, these guys probably kicked our asses harder than Todd's gang…" Beavis agreed.

"Guys," Van Driessen looked at the two sternly. "I hope this has taught you an important lesson."

"There's no need," the former Burger World manager said to Van Driessen. "Whatever happens, these boys need to find their own path in life. And no amount of scolding will change it. I see that now."

"What will you do from now on?" asked Van Driessen.

"Oh, my manager can explain," the former Burger World manager told him.

The man in the cowboy hat next to the manager decided to introduce himself. "Hi folks, my name's Jimmy Aderhold and I'm a promoter the Jonestown Wrestling Circuit. Your friend here really impressed me with his demonstration in that bar. I've offered him a gig as the Amazing Mucho in my wrestling federation!"

"Whoa!" Butt-head exclaimed. "You're gonna be a pro wrestler now?"

The ex-Burger World manager nodded, smiling.

"That kicks ass!" Beavis agreed.

"Yeah, maybe you're a pretty cool dude after all," Butt-head told his former manager.

"That means a lot, boys," their ex-manager shook their hands. "I want you to know what whatever happens, I wish you the best of luck in life for whatever you want to do. I know you'll make something of yourselves because I believe in you."

"Uh, thanks, huh huh."

"Yeah, heh heh, thanks."

"Now if you'll excuse me," the former Burger World manager said and walked off with Aderhold. "I have to go check out my new costume."

"Imagine that," Daria said. "Karma really did make a clean sweep of things."

"Uh, I thought Karma was a bitch," Butt-head remarked.

"Like I said," Cassandra explained. "The wheel of life is ever-turning. The universe eventually unravels on its own and shows us just what we're destined for."

"Wow," Stewart looked at the former Burger World manager changing into his new, over-sized spandex suit. "I guess things really do happen for a reason."

"Yeah, like me kicking Butt-head's ass on Broadway, heh heh heh!"

"Shut up, Beavis! That was a fluke and you know it!"

"Wanna bet, bunghole?"

"Gladly, fartknocker!"

Beavis tackled Butt-head and took them both to the ground. As the duo wrestled with each other despite the bruising they had received from the bar fight, the other members of the gang could only watch in awe.

"Think we should pull them apart?" Daria looked at Buzzcut, who appeared rather amused by the sight of the two fighting on the ground.

"Well, let me think about it," Buzzcut smiled before looking back at Daria.

"I'm gonna kick your ass, buttlick!" Beavis grabbed Butt-head in a chokehold.

"Nah!" Daria and Buzzcut echoed at the same time.

Author's Note: I'm sure some of you remember the Burger World manager. He could actually be considered a semi-regular to the show the same way Mr. Stevenson was. The only problem is that throughout the whole show's run, they never actually gave him a name. That presents problems when writing a story about him but I still decided to include him since he played an integral part in being their boss.

A Swing of the bat.

A Beavis and Butt-Head fanfiction story by Wouter Jaegers

There it stood, where it had been all of these years after it happened, that aluminium baseball bat that changed everything. Butt-Head's tired eyes glanced at it filled with hatred, that fucking baseball bat robbed him of companionship forever. Still he never felt like getting rid of it, it was afterall, a keepsake of the coolest thing he ever did.

Was what happened really that sudden or were there indications that something was about to take place? Butt-Head glanced at a picture of him and Beavis together. Beavis had the tendency to start babbling like a dumbass every once in a while. Butt-Head clearly recalled watching a music video of a Band named Korn when on such occurence happened, Beavis started babbling about what was wrong with the music and how it fitted in the mantle of alternative rock or whatever but then again he did say "sphyncter". Butt-Head quickly learned that a smack in Beavis' face would be enough to get him back to normal.

But that wasn't the case when the Baseball bat incident happened. Butt-head slowly laughed as he saw the thing in his mind again. They were playing frog baseball when all of a sudden the biggest butterfly Butt-Head ever recalled seeing landed on Beavis 'head. They stole this brand new metal bat from a sport store earlier and Butt-Head recalled thinking that squashing that big ass butterfly would be the perfect way to break that bat in, hitting Beavis in the process would be an added bonus.

As expected Beavis went out cold after recieving the blow that he never even saw coming. Butt-Head laughed out loud as he recalled seeing Beavis hitting the ground. Even after all those years the memory of having knocked Beavis down was enough to have him laughing for hours. That was without a doubt the coolest thing that ever happened, just how long he stood there laughing at that fartknocker, he couldn't recall but every time he tried to get over to Beavis to see if he was alright, just the sight of him lying there was enough to get him laughing again. Eventually Beavis came around again and if it weren't for the fact that he was still laughing Butt-Head could have noticed that Beavis was different. First of all, Beavis' "Heh-heh" way of laughing wasn't there, instead Beavis reached for his head and asked what happened. Butt-Head laughed at seeing Beavis confused at what was happening. "Come on dude, let's get out of here." Butt-Head laughed.

But Beavis, seeing the metal bat in Butt-Head's hands, apparently had put two and two together. Butt-Head recalled seeing Beavis' face going into a shock and that made him laugh even louder. "Did you hit me in the head with that?" Beavis shouted in a tone of voice Butt-Head never heard before and that was yet another reason to laugh, this just got cooler and cooler. "Yeah, huh-huh, it was cool." But what happened next was unexpected, Beavis suddenly leaped up and ran away screaming for police and an ambulance. Butt-Head remembered being baffled: normaly Beavis would start to fight and try kick him in the nads. In a way it was cool, Butt-Head would later call him a cowardice buttwipe for it. Shrugging it off, Butt-Head decided to go home.

But when arriving home, Beavis wasn't there, instead there was a cop car and the clerk of the sport store waiting for him to arrive. Butt-Head saw them, looked at the stolen metal baseball bat in his own hands and looked at the cops and the clerk looking at him and all of a sudden felt his inside going really cold. This would be a great time to panic, he couldn't recall ever running so hard but the cops and the shepperd dog they had with them caught up with him without any trouble. Once he was shoved in the back of the cop car, Butt-Head tried to piece together the chain of events that got him there. It must have been the theft of the bat and that Beavis must be in custody already. When being brought into the office Butt-Head tried to make out Beavis' voice in the mish-mash of voices inside the building but Beavis' tell tail voice wasn't among them.

"Uuhh, huh-huh, where's Beavis?" Butt-Head asked the cop who took his fingerprints and mug shots? The answer was confusing, something about a hospital, charges of first degree assault and theft. When he was placed in a cell Butt-Head once again asked around for Beavis, the others in the cells had no idea where this "dumbass fartknocker" as Butt-Head described him was. It was at that time that Butt-Head got a little worried. So he asked the cop who was guarding the place where the bunghole that he hit with the bat was? The cop turned to him and told him that Beavis was in the hospital being treated for his injuries.

The next day Butt-Head stood in a line up. "That's the one officer." Mr. Stevenson said while pointing straight to Butt-Head. "That's the boy who lives with Beavis and who whacked him in the back of the head with a metal bat." Butt-Head was taken to a seperate room and a cop asked him about it. This time Butt-Head wanted to know a little more about what happened to Beavis. Butt-Head was told that Beavis had suffered severe trauma to his head and had sustained possible brain damage, it was the adrenaline rush that abled him to run away to safety. Hearing that and seeing the thing happening again made Butt-Head chuckle "Yeah I kicked his ass." The cop then started to look really darkly at him and said "So you admit to doing it?" it only made Butt-Head laugh louder "Yeah, it was cool."

Afterwards Butt-Head was put in another line up and this time the store clerk identified him as the one who took the bat. When being pressed about it Butt-Head insisted that Beavis had been there as well but when shown the security camera footage Butt-Head was reminded that when he stole the bat, he had Beavis outside the store to stand guard. Butt-Head slowly began to understand that whatever was about to happen now, it was gonna suck. As the days went by in the cell, Butt-Head found out that being locked up sucked. he was constantly being beat up by guys bigger than him. Then there was this homosexual assmunch who tried to score with him. If there was food, the food sucked and worst of all, no TV. Butt-Head recalled wanting to go to Burgerworld or Taco bell to get something real to eat.

The court case was cool though: those lawyers and judges in their silly suits, plus he finally got to see Beavis again. Butt-Head just sat there in the courtroom laughing at words like "Penal" and at the wordplay of his defense attourney, it was all a big laugh really. But the biggest laugh of all was when Beavis was brought forwards to testify. Beavis was wearing formal attire, the judge had to remove Butt-Head from the hearing because of him laughing so hard at how Beavis looked. "Butt-Head, may I have a word with you." a familiar voice spoke up after Butt-Head was removed from the court room, it was Mr. Van Driessen. He told him that Beavis was found by Mr. Stevenson who took him to the hospital. And Beavis managed to tell Mr. Stevenson and the medics that Butt-Head had hit him with a bat. The medics allerted the police and Stevenson gave them the home adress of Beavis and Butt-Head. Van Driessen also told him that Beavis now lived at the Stevenson's house and how Beavis had improved really well.

In the end Butt-Head was convicted of first degree assault, apparently stating that "It was the coolest thing in the world" was the wrong thing to say because he could remember seeing his defense attourney cringe and stating that he "Should slap some sense into that butt-munch" also didn't help matters much, Beavis asked him straight why he thought so. "Hey isn't it like the rule to say the truth and nothing but the truth in a courtroom, uh-huh-huh." Yeah that courtcase was one big laugh after another. Beavis had become such a wuss and he now constantly spoke in that strange wussy way, all he needed was for Butt-Head to make him settle down again and a few slaps in the face would do nicely.

But then came the sentence: two years in a youth prison. Two years without TV, two years of having his ass kicked on a daily basis, two years of not having something decent to eat and two years of no opportunity to kick Beavis' ass fot ratting him out. And why didn't the guidence councillors get it when he told him that it was cool to whack Beavis in the head with the bat? It wasn't really that hard to understand was it? But most of all, it was two years of loneliness, nobody to talk to, nobody to do cool stuff together with; like frog baseball or blowing up mail boxes. Two years without Beavis.

It was just after his 18'th birthday that Butt-Head was released, it was strange to be back in highland again after his jail time, after getting his stuff back from the police Butt-Head went straight to the Burgerworld to have something good to eat and to see something familiar after all that time. He was served by a polite boy and the burger was really good, the place itself was clean as a whistle. Butt-Head saw kids playing in the newly built playground and the place ran like a well oiled machine. "This place sucks more than it ever did." Butt-head sighed, two years without him and Beavis making it cool had left deep scars. As Butt-Head walked through his neighborhood he saw more things had changed in two years. There was Mr. Anderson's house looking like new, Butt-Head remembered chuckling when he saw it, fat chance that it was gonna stay that way.

As he neared the front door of his house, something caught his eye: it was the metal baseball bat, apparently it was all but forgotten after the cops had taken him in. Butt-Head picked it up and he instantly saw it happening again, Beavis was whacked in the head and he went cold, Butt-head laughed at the memory while bringing it inside, a nice reminder of that ultra cool day "This place rules!" Butt-Head mumbled in awe when seeing what two years of not being maintained whatsoever did to the house he grew up in. Take the Hallway alone: the foul air was thick and musky, the windows were covered in cobwebs, there were wet stains all over the place and several stray cats quickly hid between the piles of stuff lying all over the place. This was a home coming of all home comings, Butt-Head carefully walked through every room checking if they matched the epitome of "Cool" of the hallway. The toilet was the best: the turd Beavis left two years ago was still there but in the meantime had turned into a wierd looking black fibre-looking rock hard disc. Butt-Head quickly lifted it from the bowl and placed it in the window, the coolest ornament ever. A visit to the kitchen supplied him with a microwaved Burrito that had been in the fridge for far too long, Butt-Head looked at the expiration date and shrugged, a Burrito only became better with age. Butt-Head then walked to the living room, saw that everything was still there, the couch was crusty and infested with mice, never the less, Butt-Head let himself drop into the couch with a happy sigh before reaching for the remote of the TV which was covered in a thick layer of dust and turned the TV on. He felt happy, finally back home, sitting on the couch watching TV after having been deprived of just that for far too long.

But after two days of being at home watching TV, the empty spot on the couch seemed to become emptier with the minute. Butt-Head realized that in order for him to find out where Beavis was, he had no choice to go to the suckiest place in the whole town: Highland High school. With a Grunt, Butt-Head lifted himself from the couch and marched off.

When arriving there, he saw several football players walking past wearing their wide padded jerseys, apparently it was pep-rally day. Just then one of those players caught his eye: he was big, muscular and talked with a cocky tone of voice but Butt-Head recognized him as the shy, demure and fat kid he used to be. "Uhh... huh-huh, Stewart, is that you?" the boy turned around and looked at the skinny, scraggy and unkept guy who addressed him. "Do we know each other?" he asked in a mocking way. "It's ME, Butt-Head, your ...uh.. Friend, remember?" Stewart and the other football players then turned around and moved in a circle around Butt-Head. Stewart then looked at him with an angry glare. "Yeah, I remember, I remember you and Beavis torturing me by throwing a cactus in my underpants, I remember you guys blowing up my parents' kitchen, I remember all the hardship I went through thanks to YOU." Butt-Head couldn't help but to laugh at the memories caused by what Stewart just brought up. "Oh yeah, huh-huh-huh, that was cool."

"What's going on here people?!" a voice hollered, it was Coach Buzzcut. "Nothing really coach, just a little pantsy that apparently has crawled up from under his rock again." Stewart spoke while he and the other football players moved aside. "Hey, you bung lick, don't make me kick your ass!" Butt-Head protested, but all the same feeling that his chances of actually doing so were VERY small, he was out numbered and out gunned. Coach Buzzcut gave him a look over and then a smiled crep on his face "Your hair is longer and you've grown somewhat but you're still the same weak maggot you always were Butt-Head, I see that even jail couldn't change you. Luckely your former companion is a whole different story." at hearing that Butt-Head's eyes went wide. "Uh, huh-huh, what are you like talking about?"

"He's talking about my older brother." Stewart spoke up. "After you smacked him with that baseball bat, Beavis needed a place to recover from his injuries. My Parents took him in and were pleasantly surprised at how much his demoenor had changed after you smacked him, he proved an excellent help around the house, well mannered, atlethic with outstanding grades in school, he has redeemed himself. My family has formally adopted him and thus he and I became brothers." At hearing that Butt-Head couldn't help but to laugh "Huh-huh-huh, that waiste of bumwipe became an even bigger wuss than I thought! Huh-huh-huh. Where is he anyway?"

"Well then Butt-Head, seeing as you have been out of it for two years, let me fill you in here." Coach Buzzcut hollored, while grabbing Butt-Head's arm and dragging him inside the school. "In addition what Stevenson has already told you, he and Beavis both joined the football team and trained really hard and honed their skills, Beavis even became team captain." Buzzcut laughed while shoving Butt-Heads face towards a framed picture of the football team from the prior season, sure enough, wearing the team captain jersey and looking way wider and muscular than Butt-Head could ever imagine him to be, was Beavis. "No way, huh-huh, that can't be Beavis." When the pep rally went underway a baffled Butt-Head sat down on the bleachers and watched the game but not really paying attentions, he saw Stewart tackling other guys, moving them away with ease. This no longer was the Stewart Stevenson he and Beavis used to bully. To keep his mind off of things he focussed on the cheerleaders but when he went "Uh-huh-huh. Hey Beavis do you think they..." he once again was reminded of that vacant spot next to him. With a sigh and an uneasy chuckle Butt-head decided to leave, go home, eat something and watch TV ...for all eternity.

It was then that faith smiled on him as a run down and rusty car stopped in front of him. "Hey man, are you new in town?" it was Todd. Butt-Head suddenly felt hopeful. "Uh-huh-huh, yeah, I just got released from prison." Todd eyed the 18 year old lanky, unkept, longhaired and scruffy kid: there was some potential here... With a smile he opened the door and threw him a pack of cigarettes. "Then why don't you come with me man, there's a party at Slay's." Butt-Head was feeling elated, Slay's place was the coolest place in town and Todd was inviting him over.

The following four years saw Butt-Head as a member of Todd's gang, being introduced to booze, violence and drugs. Butt-Head felt like a fish in water, this was like being fifteen again and pulling the stints he did with Beavis but in a much higher degree. Doing smack, shooting guns, breaking into peoples houses, THIS was the life. But there was one thing that he wasn't allowed to do: no sex, leave the chicks alone, the only condition here. Todd never did explain why, but Butt-Head didn't mind hanging out with all those cool people, doing such cool things and all those fights and wild parties were enough for him to NOT question Todd's rules. Butt-Head was arrested a few times but Todd was always there to get him out.

But it was on a certain morning that it all came crashing down, in the litteral sense. Butt-Head and Todd rear ended this fancy black SUV. "Why you little!" Todd fumed "Damage my car will you!" before jumping out, Butt-head right behind him. Time to teach that driver of the SUV a lesson. But then the door opened and this HUGE guy stepped out. "Take that rust speck off of my car right now and nothing will happen." the guy spoke. Butt-Head went cold inside, the pitch had changed but he knew that voice, in fact he knew it very well. "Uh-huh-huh, Beavis is that you?"

"I don't go by that name anymore, the name is Stevenson, Peter Stevenson. Who are you anyway?"

What happened next was a bit of a blur, Todd wanted to have a fight no matter what but was quickly knocked to the other side of the street. Butt-Head looked in Awe, Beavis just kicked Todd's ass, that simply was too cool. But then came the realisation that he could finally smack Beavis in the face and knocking some sense into him, finally an opportunity to get Beavis back. But while raising his arm up, Beavis quickly turned around and intercepted him. Butt-Head recieved a Knee to his solar plexus and toppled over. It was then that he saw that there were other people in the car, two kids and a woman, a good looking woman. Beavis then re-entered his car and drove off. Butt-Head couldn't believe what happened here: he finally found Beavis again and Beavis kicked Todd's ass and then he got his own ass kicked by Beavis who had a woman and kids in his car, probably his wife and children. He couldn't make up his mind about whether this was cool or not. "Hey man, are you okay?" Todd asked while helping him up. "Seems like you know this guy."

"Uh-huh-huh, yeah he... uh was like a warden in that jail I was in." Butt-Head replied, wondering why he covered up for Beavis. "We'd better avoid this buttknocker Todd, he's a mean son of a bitch."

That was now two years ago. Butt-Head later found out that Beavis had legally changed his name into Peter Stevenson, had joined the marines after graduation and had married the former head cheerleader. Butt-Head looked at the Baseball bat, and opened a beer, Todd already called him about a heist that was about to take place later tonight. Butt-Head rubbed his fat belly and sat down on the old worn out couch. Wondering who ended up with the cooler lifestyle?

- Butt-Head was a full fledged member of Todd's gang, he was alcoholic, did smack, there were a lot of cool parties, fights, Chicks (eventhough he still wasn't allowed to score with them).

- But Beavis was a former Football player, a marine, big and muscular enough to kick everybody's ass and he had a wife and two children which meant that he scored at least two times, maybe more.

Butt-head looked at the vacant spot and then looked at the Baseball bat, and in an instant the memory of seeing Beavis lying knocked out after recieving the blow made Butt-Head laugh again. It still was the coolest day of his life.

The end.

?+ ?-  ?   ?     ?   ?

A/N Warning before you read this I must say it is on the creepy side and it has slash. Don't like it? Click the back button and read some fluff. Enjoying yourself? Review it! But be aware that before you want to go on a flaming rampage you have OFFICIALLY BEEN WARNED! Other then that this is my first Beavis & Butt-Head fic...hope you like it!

What…what the heck happened? Butt-Head's mind was in a much heavier haze then usual. He couldn't remember a single thing from the night before…except dazed flashes. That was a bit odd for him. Sure he was a total idiot but he did know when something wasn't quite right…and this…wasn't quite right.

He slowly realized that he was lying with his shorts around his ankles in the middle of the bathroom. His head was lying in a puddle of puke and Beavis…Beavis was next to him naked and shivering, curled up into a ball.

Something told him that was…that was bad. That was very, very bad. He yelled out in surprise which woke the blond up straight away.

"Um…uh…" Beavis giggled nervously while Butt-Head stared at him in shocked confusion.

"Shut the hell up!" Butt-Head shouted. The blond scuttled back like a puppy being scolded. He started apologizing madly, twitching and shaking. "Get out of here before I kick your ass!" Butt-Head commanded angrily. Beavis gladly obliged dashing out of the bathroom.

Butt-Head felt like shit. His head was throbbing and his stomach hurt. It was like a hangover except…they hadn't had beer or shit last night. He was sure of it.

So what happened? Did he screw Beavis? Ew…he's like a dude not a chick…didn't have any tits…why the hell would he screw Beavis? That's stupid. He didn't like guys, he liked chicks.

Butt-Head stood up and clutched his head moaning in pain. He pulled up his shorts and tried not to step in the puddle of puke which was already all over his shirt and face. He slowly locked the bathroom door and slid down onto the cold tile floor. He watched a cockroach crawl up the grimy bathtub and chuckled a little.

A voice told him that he should start trying to remember what happened last night. So he tried…the thick haze in his head was preventing him from remembering a single thing. Except…whimpers…and nails digging into his back…and frantic panting…that was sorta cool…

The…garbage had something to do with it? Yeah last night the overflowing can of garbage in the kitchen had started to piss him off. There were bugs everywhere and they were getting on the food. So…what did he do? He asked Beavis to take the garbage out.

Oh, now he remembered. The news was reporting on some fire on the TV. A lot of real footage which unfortunately had Beavis completely transfixed. The blond was staring in a half-trance and whispering excitedly, "fire, fire!"

"Beavis take the garbage out!" He demanded. His request fell on deaf ears as Beavis remained in his semi-trance. After 5 minutes of yelling, insulting and slapping nothing seemed to be working. This left Butt-Head with the obvious option to take the garbage out himself.

So he did. It took a rather long time because it was so heavy…but eventually he made it. Pretty dark out here. Cold as well. Better get back inside.

He had a very nasty surprise when he got back to the front door. It had locked itself or something. Can doors lock themselves? Probably…stupid doors. This sucked. He tried kicking it, yelling at it but nothing worked. He was getting cold out here.

"Beavis? Beavis! Open the door, fart-knocker!" Butt-Head yelled in frustration. No answer. He went and peered through the window. The blond was still completely transfixed with the fire on the TV. Stupid butt-munch.

What should he do? It was too cold to just sit there. After 5 minutes of wondering about what he should do he finally decided to go and buy some nachos. While he walked he thought of how he was going to kick Beavis's ass when he found out some way to get back inside. The guy was such a dumb-ass.

The Maxi-Mart was dark and quiet for some weird reason. Feeling a bit confused Butt-Head walked up to investigate. The door wouldn't open and there was a sign on it saying…what did it say? Um…c-c-clobed? No…err…clozded?

"The place is shut for the night, kid," said a voice.

Butt-Head turned around to look at the guy who had spoken. It was some dude kneeling nearly hidden in the shadows on the pavement. He looked like a bum…no too well dressed to be a bum…smelt like a bum.

The guy was skinny as a rake, covered in scars and held a cigarette loosely between his fingers. He smokes? That's pretty cool…although he looks like a dork…

"What the hell do you want?" Butt-Head said and then chuckled a little. The man stood up and swaggered up to him grinning in a strange sorta way. He wasn't drunk…and he didn't look like he was on drugs…but he was still weird. Butt-Head didn't like him that much.

"What's your name, boy?" He asked breathing cigarette smoke in the teen's face.

"Err…Butt-Head. Uh-huh-huh-huh," he replied taking a step back.

The dude looked around casually and smiled. He fiddled with his cigarette and looked at Butt-Head as if expecting a conversation out of him.

"Where's that little friend of yours who you always hang out with?' He asked placidly after awhile.

"Err, what? Uh-huh-huh-huh."

"You know, the twitchy blond one," he said still doing that weird smile.

"Um…Beavis saw a fire on the TV and he's, like, not moving or anything," Butt-Head said. The man nodded seriously and said, "pyromaniac eh?"

Butt-Head giggled for a minute or two. "Uh…no. You're a dork…"

The guy kept on talking and Butt-Head slowly zoned out like he usually did. His mind was firmly focused on how he was going to get some nachos now that the store was closed. So he asked the weird guy. The dude grinned and took a long drag from his cigarette.

"Nachos eh? You're a man of fine tastes. You'll get far in life I expect. Maybe be the president…or better. Get yourself a fine looking lady probably," the man said starting to cackle. Butt-Head laughed along with him although he had no idea what the man had just said.

"Well my boy, I've got something much better then nachos. You come along with me," the dude said, walking off while beckoning Butt-Head to follow.

Better then nachos? That was cool. Maybe he's got this hot chick or something that he can score with. Maybe he's got something like beer or cigarettes, something that'll make him cool like Todd.

The teen followed the strange guy feeling excited.

The dude led him to the alley next to the store. He ordered Butt-Head to sit down on a milk carton. Then he turned around and started rustling around in his pockets. While he looked for whatever cool stuff he promised, Butt-Head thought idly if the fire was still on the news and if he could get back inside when he got home.

The man soon sat down with this weird tourniquet thingy. He asked calmly how much money Butt-Head had. The teen replied by showing the 5 dollars he had in his pocket.

"Well I am starting to get a bit short of cash. That'll do just fine," the dude said reaching for it, while taking a wicked looking needle out from his pocket.

Something clicked in Butt-Head's mind and he clutched the money to his chest suspiciously. "Is that, like, drugs or something? Like, it can get you all trippy and stuff?"

The man roared with maniacal laughter. He sounded like a mad old witch or something weird like that.

"Why son, your much more savvy then I took you credit for. But no it's not drugs, although everyone assumes it is. It's much better then that. It's pure chaos as I like to think of it," he giggled.

Butt-Head eyed him, still wary. "Uh…chaos?" He asked.

"Yes my boy, pure, untamed chaos. I adore chaos, I worship chaos, don't you? Chaos is just so much fun to witness," he explained slowly prying the money out of Butt-Head's fingers. This chaos thing sounded cool. Maybe it could help him score or something.

The man tied the tourniquet tight around Butt-Head's skinny arm. He demanded the teen to close his eyes. Butt-Head obeyed.

After 5 minutes there was a sharp pain in his arm and…multi-coloured lights flashed in his mind's eyes and heat shot between his legs. He blinked several times and his head swarmed. All of his senses was going mad. He could smell coppery blood and the earth and air. He could hear birds and trees and children crying, people talking, whispers and people laughing.

"Whoa! This is really cool!" He exclaimed. He started to feel…weird. Like…primitive, animal-like…and then he couldn't remember hardly anything.

Voices and sights and smells…head spinning and the strange animal feeling rising in the back of his throat. He felt like he was going to puke blood and guts.

"…where are you…going now, son?" Came a strange distorted voice.

"H-h-home…uh-huh-huh-huh back…home…TV…huh food…Beavis watching fire…fire…kick his ass," he murmered. There was a mad giggle from beside him. "…nearly forgot…bout poor Beavis…kid's in for a rough night…ha!" The voice cackled.

Then he was on the street with red, orange, purple and green swirling before his eyes. He remembered…strange disjointed stuff.

"Get your hands off me you freak!"

"Yeah get away from her before I kick your scrawny little ass!"

Prey…running away? Go after her. Take her right there on the pavement…ravage her…No…go home…male protecting her is bigger then you. Fight will lead to injury….injury bad. Injury very bad. Injury hurt…

Home…that is home. Too cold out here…must enter for warmth…enter home or die…must eat…hungry. Eat or die…

So he tripped and tumbled back inside.

Where is friend? Where is blond boy my age? Not in front of talking box…why?

He heard strange noises coming from the bathroom. Moans and sighs. The normal, quieter voice in Butt-Head's mind whispered that Beavis was probably spanking his monkey and should be left alone. Leave him alone…go get something to eat…something to drink…go to sleep…leave him alone.

Some savage, sadistic and louder voice commanded him to go in. Go in and help a fellow out. Go in and have some fun…go in and do him hard and brutal on the cold bathroom floor.

Bigger man…didn't let you do the pretty girl…she was protected…blond boy not protected…blond boy weak…blond boy dumb…get him…uh-huh-huh-huh…get him…go on.

He walked to the bathroom door and pushed it open.

"…what the hell? I'm busy, ass-wipe!"

Blond boy…on the ground? Kneeling on ground…? No shorts on…that makes it easier…go get him…

His head was swirling and his stomach lurched. He collapsed to his knees and crawled over to the sink. He tried to stand up but his legs refused to work. Falling to the ground he started to throw up all over the floor.

"…heh-heh-heh what's wrong with you, Butt-Head? You're like puking everywhere…"

Butt-Head coughed weakly spraying the floor with blood, spit and vomit. The boy…the one who was his friend…he was looking at him with a look of confused amusement. He seemed to have forgotten to pull his shorts back up.

…so trusting…so innocent…so…child-like…uh-huh-huh-huh.

He tried to crawl over to him but slipped over in his vomit. The blond boy was giggling madly now.

Slowly summing up his entire strength he pushed the blond one to the cold floor. A small sound of surprise hit his ears…the blond one thought it was a game…a little fight for fun or something…

Halfway through he seemed to realize this…wasn't a fun fight. This was…something else. He somehow put together that…something was wrong with his friend. Something a bit off. Then he panicked. He kicked, screamed and punched.

"…get the hell off me Butt-Head! This isn't funny!"

Soon he gave in…soon he even began to enjoy himself…

Butt-Head saw the morning light crawl through the window. The pain in his head was disappearing slowly and the haze seemed to have gone down a bit.

But…he was feeling sick in a different way now. He heard about people going to jail about what he just did to Beavis. Anyway…he was, like, his best friend or something. You didn't do that to your best friend. You can slap him and call him a dumb-ass but…screwing him if he didn't want to…was like against the law or something. He was a guy as well which made it worse.

If he ever met the guy who gave him that Chaos stuff again…he'll kick his ass. No worse then that…he'll kill the weirdo creep. Chaos was like, bad. It like…made him want to screw everything like a mad, horny dog or something.

Butt-Head cautiously opened the door again. He saw Beavis sitting on the couch. Better go talk to him…err…what if he freaked out? What if he goes totally psycho and kicked him in the nads?

The taller teen went and sat down on the couch in his usual spot. Beavis had gotten a ratty old t-shirt and tattered shorts on because he had left his usual clothes in the bathroom while rushing out. He looked…kinda pathetic.

He started giggling nervously again his laugh getting increasingly more high-pitched then normal as he shifted to the far corner of the couch. He eyed Butt-Head like he was a rancid racoon with rabies.

"Um…err…" Butt-Head struggled to find something to say. His blond companion twitched anxiously still keeping as far away from Butt-Head as he could.

"Well, last night…I got like, locked out, and I went to get some nachos…and this weird guy…uh…he gave me this needle that made me really horny and stuff. I tried to jump this chick walking home but she had this guy who was big and muscly and stuff…"

He paused to look at Beavis sheepishly. The blond was starting to relax a bit.

"…and this like, horny voice in my head told me to go to the bathroom and screw your brains out…it was really weird. Sorta cool…but I don't wanna screw you again…ever."

Beavis looked at him and looked almost disappointed. "Never?"

Butt-head stared at him like he was crazy. "Um, yeah! Never…I thought you hated it? I mean…I wanna score with chicks with big tits and stuff. I'm not gay. Uh-huh-huh-huh."

Beavis looked away and a blush creeped onto his face.

"It was…pretty cool you know. I-I-I wouldn't mind…"

Butt-Head fought the urge to slap him and turned around.

"Let's see what's on TV. Maybe a cool music video or something," he said grabbing the remote. He told himself to forget about it. Just next time he got locked out in the middle of the night…don't go talking to weirdo guys next to the Maxi-Mart.

THE BERENSTAIN BEARS, AND, THE NAKED BOOGIE!

By WileE2005

Loosely adapted from "The Berenstain Bears and the Slumber Party" by Stan and Jan Berenstain; this is just a work of fan-fiction!

When a cub sheds her clothes

To dance nude in a school,

She may forget that

She's breaking a rule!

It all started as a typical Sunday afternoon in the big tree house down a sunny dirt road in Bear Country. But when the telephone rang, it all began.

Mama Bear checked the Caller I.D. and answered. It was Lizzy Bruin, Sister Bear's best friend. "Sister, it's for you!" Mama called out. "It's Lizzy!"

Whenever Lizzy called, she often had some big idea: a tea party for their dolls and stuffed animals, going up to the attic and playing "dress up" in grownups' clothes, or organizing a sorority and using Farmer Ben's old chicken coop as a clubhouse – with permission, of course.

"It's OK with me," Farmer Ben had said to the cubs, "but I think I should warn you…"

Within minutes, the cubs were running from the old chicken coop, nauseated by the smell that was left by the chickens' poop. "PEE-YOO!"

But this time, Lizzy was calling with her biggest idea yet. "Sister Bear, guess what?"

"What?" asked Sister.

Lizzy whispered into the phone, "I'm having a naked boogie at the school, Friday night at seven o'clock. You're invited, too!"

"Really?" said Sister. She couldn't believe it.

"Yes!"

"Mama," Sister lied to Mama, "can I sleep over at Lizzy Bruin's house Friday night?"

"I don't see why not," said Mama, "as long as you remember about privilege and responsibility, unlike that last time."

"Don't worry, Mama," said Sister. Then she told Lizzy on the phone, "It's all settled. I'll be there!" Then they hung up.

…

On Monday, during recess at school, Sister and Lizzy talked about it.

"It's not going to be like that slumber party we had two years ago," Lizzy said, a mischievous grin on her face. "But this time, we ARE inviting Too-Tall and his gang, complete with his boom box. Boys WILL be invited!"

"What kind of music are we going to listen to?" asked Sister.

"We're going to listen to the latest rap, of course!" said Lizzy. "Anna and Millie are bringing CDs – and Queenie's coming to, to show off her latest hip-hop dance steps!"

"Why are we having the naked boogie in the school anyways?" said Sister.

"That's not important," said Lizzy.

…

On Thursday evening, Papa had an announcement for the cubs.

"Your mama and I are going out Friday night for dinner and dancing. Mrs. Grizzle has bingo Friday, so she can't make it to watch Brother, so Grizzly Gramps will be watching over Brother. It's not a problem for Sister, because she'll be staying at Lizzy Bruin's house then, but if there's an emergency, she can call Grizzly Gramps, or the hotel Mama and I will be staying at," said Papa.

"Don't worry about a thing," said Sister, secretly crossing her fingers behind her back.

…

Friday evening arrived, and with it came Grizzly Gramps. Mama and Papa were in their best clothes, getting ready for their romantic night out. "Be good for Grizzly Gramps, Brother," said Papa, "oh and Sister, you remember what your mama said about privilege and responsibility!"

"Oh, I will, Papa!" Sister lied, as she started off for the boogie.

As the sky was clouding up with dark gray clouds, Sister waited until Mama and Papa had pulled out from the tree house, and Sister headed over to the Bear Country School. It was a long jog, but she arrived in time. The lights were all on inside the school. She entered through a back door that someone had wedged open…

…

By now, it was raining. Mama and Papa Bear were enjoying a lobster dinner at the finest restaurant in Bear Country. Mama Bear sighed and said, "I just hope Sister Bear will be all right."

"Of course she will," said Papa, looking up from his lobster. "Then once we're done with this dinner, we can go over to the hall to the dance!"

Mama sighed again.

…

But there was a big problem at the naked boogie: No grown-ups were in the school! And Lizzy Bruin did not get permission to use the school that night!

Lizzy had one of her guests hide after school let out that day, and once all the teachers, faculty and other students had left, the cub came out, turned the lights back on, and wedged open a door. The faculty thought the school was all locked up and empty.

And they certainly didn't think that a rip-roaring, earsplitting, rowdy and disgusting party for half the cubs in Sister's class, and roughly a third of the student population was going on at the school. Because that's what was happening – with Sister right in the thick of it. She had stripped off her clothes except for her bow, and all the other cubs were completely nude, dancing and running around the building as loud rap music was being played over the school's speaker system. There was poop all over the halls, toilet paper on the stairs, pee in the classrooms, and diarrhea on the auditorium stage. Some cubs were flying on fire extinguishers, others opened all the lockers, vandalized school property, messed around with the school's bell system, and they were having big pee fights with each other. The naked boogie was completely wild and out of control. You never saw such a commotion!

Some neighbors near the school have never heard such a commotion, either. They called the cops.

The chief sent Officer Marguerite to investigate, and at the same time he had notified Principal Honeycomb. Officer Marguerite arrived at the school at the same time Principal Honeycomb drove up in his convertible!

Well, things calmed down pretty quickly after that. The party was over, parents were phoned, Lizzy was expelled and arrested – and a very angry and disappointed Mama and Papa Bear came from their date to drive Sister home.

"We're very angry and disappointed," said Mama Bear as they drove home through the night. "After all the things I said about privilege and responsibility!"

All the other cubs that attended the naked boogie, including Sister, were suspended for three days, except for Too-Tall and his gang. They snuck out when they heard the cops arriving. Sister had never been suspended before. At home, Sister was grounded and sent to bed – doubly grounded, which meant she had to stay in her room for the weekend and in the house for a week.

"A pretty harsh punishment," commented Papa Bear a little while later, once he and Mama were in their pajamas.

"Not harsh at all," said Mama. "You saw the inside the school: poop stuck to everything in the halls, urine all over the place, opened lockers, vandalized school property – an absolute disgrace! And after all I said about privilege and responsibility!"

"Sister does have to share the blame," said Papa. "But she didn't do it all by herself. It was one of those situations where she just went with the flow. But you know, my dear, privilege and responsibility aren't just for cubs. They're for grown-ups, too."

"And if Sister was going to the school tonight, the principal should have called us- " said Mama.

"But that's just it," continued Papa. "When Lizzy invited Sister to the naked boogie, and Sister lied to us that it was just a regular sleepover, it was our responsibility to call the Bruins. If we had, we'd have found out that Lizzy didn't really plan for a sleepover at her house, and the whole thing would have been nipped in the bud."

"You know," added Mama, "I recall Mrs. Bruin talking to me at the school, saying that she thought Lizzy was going to spend the night here at our house. But you'd think Lizzy would be more neat and organized…"

"Wait a minute," said Papa, snapping his fingers. "I have an idea!"

…

The next morning, Mama canceled the grounding, and Papa Bear called the school board, the principal and the Bruins', and took Sister over to the school to help clean up. Lizzy, Anna, Millie, and Queenie had come to help too. It was disgusting and smelly, but they all pitched in. Lizzy's expulsion was also dropped and she was let back into the school, and all the suspended cubs that attended the nude boogie had their suspensions canceled. But Too-Tall and his gang got caught, and they were suspended from school for the following week.

"I know what!" said Lizzy, full of ideas as ever. "After we're done, we can have a clean-up party at my house! We can get down and boogie, and…"

"Let's not," said Sister. "And if you don't mind, Liz, I don't want to hear the word boogie again for a long time."

The Witching Hour

Sophie couldn’t sleep.

A brilliant moonbeam was slanting through a gap in the curtains. It was shining right on to her pillow.

The other children in the dormitory had been asleep for hours.

Sophie closed her eyes and lay quite still. She tried very hard to doze off.

It was no good. The moonbeam was like a silver blade slicing through the room on to her face.

The house was absolutely silent. No voices came up from downstairs. There were no footsteps on the floor above either.

The window behind the curtain was wide open, but nobody was walking on the pavement outside. No cars went by on the street. Not the tiniest sound could be heard anywhere. Sophie had never known such a silence.

The BFG

Perhaps, she told herself, this was what they called the witching hour.

The witching hour, somebody had once whispered to her, was a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grown-up was in a deep deep sleep, and all the dark things came out from hiding and had the world to themselves.

The moonbeam was brighter than ever on Sophie’s pillow. She decided to get out of bed and close the gap in the curtains.

You got punished if you were caught out of bed after lights-out. Even if you said you had to go to the lavatory, that was not accepted as an excuse and they punished you just the same. But there was no one about now, Sophie was sure of that.

She reached out for her glasses that lay on the chair beside her bed. They had steel rims and very thick lenses, and she could hardly see a thing without them. She put them on, then she slipped out of bed and tiptoed over to the window.

When she reached the curtains, Sophie hesitated. She longed to duck underneath them and lean out of the window to see what the world looked like now that the witching hour was at hand.

She listened again. Everywhere it was deathly still.

The longing to look out became so strong she couldn’t resist it. Quickly, she ducked under the curtains and leaned out of the window.

In the silvery moonlight, the village street she knew so well seemed completely different. The houses looked bent and crooked, like houses in a fairy tale. Everything was pale and ghostly and milky-white.

Across the road, she could see Mrs Rance’s shop, where you bought buttons and wool and bits of elastic. It didn’t look real. There was something dim and misty about that too.

Sophie allowed her eye to travel further and further down the street.

Suddenly she froze. There was something coming up the street on the opposite side.

It was something black…

Something tall and black…

Something very tall and very black and very thin.

Who?

It wasn’t a human. It couldn’t be. It was four times as tall as the tallest human. It was so tall its head was higher than the upstairs windows of the houses. Sophie opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out. Her throat, like her whole body, was frozen with fright.

This was the witching hour all right.

The tall black figure was coming her way. It was keeping very close to the houses across the street, hiding in the shadowy places where there was no moonlight.

On and on it came, nearer and nearer. But it was moving in spurts. It would stop, then it would move on, then it would stop again.

But what on earth was it doing?

Ah-ha! Sophie could see now what it was up to. It was stopping in front of each house. It would stop and peer into the upstairs window of each house in the street. It actually had to bend down to peer into the upstairs windows. That’s how tall it was.

It would stop and peer in. Then it would slide on to the next house and stop again, and peer in, and so on all along the street.

It was much closer now and Sophie could see it more clearly.

Looking at it carefully, she decided it had to be some kind of PERSON. Obviously it was not a human. But it was definitely a PERSON.

A GIANT PERSON, perhaps.

Sophie stared hard across the misty moonlit street. The Giant (if that was what he was) was wearing a long BLACK CLOAK.

In one hand he was holding what looked like a VERY LONG, THIN TRUMPET.

In the other hand, he held a LARGE SUITCASE.

The Giant had stopped now right in front of Mr and Mrs Goochey’s house. The Goocheys had a greengrocer’s shop in the middle of the High Street, and the family lived above the shop. The two Goochey children slept in the upstairs front room, Sophie knew that.

The Giant was peering through the window into the room where Michael and Jane Goochey were sleeping. From across the street, Sophie watched and held her breath.

She saw the Giant step back a pace and put the suitcase down on the pavement. He bent over and opened the suitcase. He took something out of it. It looked like a glass jar, one of those square ones with a screw top. He unscrewed the top of the jar and poured what was in it into the end of the long trumpet thing.

Sophie watched, trembling.

She saw the Giant straighten up again and she saw him poke the trumpet in through the open upstairs window of the room where the Goochey children were sleeping. She saw the Giant take a deep breath and whoof, he blew through the trumpet.

The BFG

No noise came out, but it was obvious to Sophie that whatever had been in the jar had now been blown through the trumpet into the Goochey children’s bedroom.

What could it be?

As the Giant withdrew the trumpet from the window and bent down to pick up the suitcase he happened to turn his head and glance across the street.

In the moonlight, Sophie caught a glimpse of an enormous long pale wrinkly face with the most enormous ears. The nose was as sharp as a knife, and above the nose there were two bright flashing eyes, and the eyes were staring straight at Sophie. There was a fierce and devilish look about them.

Sophie gave a yelp and pulled back from the window. She flew across the dormitory and jumped into her bed and hid under the blanket.

And there she crouched, still as a mouse, and tingling all over.

The Snatch

Under the blanket, Sophie waited.

After a minute or so, she lifted a corner of the blanket and peeped out.

For the second time that night her blood froze to ice and she wanted to scream, but no sound came out. There at the window, with the curtains pushed aside, was the enormous long pale wrinkly face of the Giant Person, staring in. The flashing black eyes were fixed on Sophie’s bed.

The next moment, a huge hand with pale fingers came snaking in through the window. This was followed by an arm, an arm as thick as a tree-trunk, and the arm, the hand, the fingers were reaching out across the room towards Sophie’s bed.

The BFG

This time Sophie really did scream, but only for a second because very quickly the huge hand clamped down over her blanket and the scream was smothered by the bedclothes.

Sophie, crouching underneath the blanket, felt strong fingers grasping hold of her, and then she was lifted up from her bed, blanket and all, and whisked out of the window.

If you can think of anything more terrifying than that happening to you in the middle of the night, then let’s hear about it.

The awful thing was that Sophie knew exactly what was going on although she couldn’t see it happening. She knew that a Monster (or Giant) with an enormous long pale wrinkly face and dangerous eyes had plucked her from her bed in the middle of the witching hour and was now carrying her out through the window smothered in a blanket.

What actually happened next was this. When the Giant had got Sophie outside, he arranged the blanket so that he could grasp all the four corners of it at once in one of his huge hands, with Sophie imprisoned inside. In the other hand he seized the suitcase and the long trumpet thing and off he ran.

Sophie, by squirming around inside the blanket, managed to push the top of her head out through a little gap just below the Giant’s hand. She stared around her.

She saw the village houses rushing by on both sides. The Giant was sprinting down the High Street. He was running so fast his black cloak was streaming out behind him like the wings of a bird. Each stride he took was as long as a tennis court. Out of the village he ran, and soon they were racing across the moonlit fields. The hedges dividing the fields were no problem to the Giant. He simply strode over them. A wide river appeared in his path. He crossed it in one flying stride.

The BFG

Sophie crouched in the blanket, peering out. She was being bumped against the Giant’s leg like a sack of potatoes. Over the fields and hedges and rivers they went, and after a while a frightening thought came into Sophie’s head. The Giant is running fast, she told herself, because he is hungry and he wants to get home as quickly as possible, and then he’ll have me for breakfast.

The Cave

The Giant ran on and on. But now a curious change took place in his way of running. He seemed suddenly to go into a higher gear. Faster and faster he went and soon he was travelling at such a speed that the landscape became blurred. The wind stung Sophie’s cheeks. It made her eyes water. It whipped her head back and whistled in her ears. She could no longer feel the Giant’s feet touching the ground. She had a weird sensation they were flying. It was impossible to tell whether they were over land or sea. This Giant had some sort of magic in his legs. The wind rushing against Sophie’s face became so strong that she had to duck down again into the blanket to prevent her head from being blown away.

The BFG

Was it really possible that they were crossing oceans? It certainly felt that way to Sophie. She crouched in the blanket and listened to the howling of the wind. It went on for what seemed like hours.

Then all at once the wind stopped its howling. The pace began to slow down. Sophie could feel the Giant’s feet pounding once again over the earth. She poked her head up out of the blanket to have a look. They were in a country of thick forests and rushing rivers. The Giant had definitely slowed down and was now running more normally, although normal was a silly word to use to describe a galloping giant. He leaped over a dozen rivers. He went rattling through a great forest, then down into a valley and up over a range of hills as bare as concrete, and soon he was galloping over a desolate wasteland that was not quite of this earth. The ground was flat and pale yellow. Great lumps of blue rock were scattered around, and dead trees stood everywhere like skeletons. The moon had long since disappeared and now the dawn was breaking.

Sophie, still peering out from the blanket, saw suddenly ahead of her a great craggy mountain. The mountain was dark blue and all around it the sky was gushing and glistening with light. Bits of pale gold were flying among delicate frosty-white flakes of cloud, and over to one side the rim of the morning sun was coming up red as blood.

Right beneath the mountain, the Giant stopped. He was puffing mightily. His great chest was heaving in and out. He paused to catch his breath.

Directly in front of them, lying against the side of the mountain, Sophie could see a massive round stone. It was as big as a house. The Giant reached out and rolled the stone to one side as easily as if it had been a football, and now, where the stone had been, there appeared a vast black hole. The hole was so large the Giant didn’t even have to duck his head as he went in. He strode into the black hole still carrying Sophie in one hand, the trumpet and the suitcase in the other.

As soon as he was inside, he stopped and turned and rolled the great stone back into place so that the entrance to his secret cave was completely hidden from outside.

Now that the entrance had been sealed up, there was not a glint of light inside the cave. All was black.

Sophie felt herself being lowered to the ground. Then the Giant let go the blanket completely. His footsteps moved away. Sophie sat there in the dark, shivering with fear.

The BFG

He is getting ready to eat me, she told herself. He will probably eat me raw, just as I am.

Or perhaps he will boil me first.

Or he will have me fried. He will drop me like a rasher of bacon into some gigantic frying-pan sizzling with fat.

A blaze of light suddenly lit up the whole place. Sophie blinked and stared.

She saw an enormous cavern with a high rocky roof.

The walls on either side were lined with shelves, and on the shelves there stood row upon row of glass jars. There were jars everywhere. They were piled up in the corners. They filled every nook and cranny of the cave.

In the middle of the floor there was a table twelve feet high and a chair to match.

The Giant took off his black cloak and hung it against the wall. Sophie saw that under the cloak he was wearing a sort of collarless shirt and a dirty old leather waistcoat that didn’t seem to have any buttons. His trousers were faded green and were far too short in the legs. On his bare feet he was wearing a pair of ridiculous sandals that for some reason had holes cut along each side, with a large hole at the end where his toes stuck out. Sophie, crouching on the floor of the cave in her nightie, gazed back at him through thick steel-rimmed glasses. She was trembling like a leaf in the wind, and a finger of ice was running up and down the length of her spine.

‘Ha!’ shouted the Giant, walking forward and rubbing his hands together. ‘What has us got here?’ His booming voice rolled around the walls of the cave like a burst of thunder.

The BFG

The Giant picked up the trembling Sophie with one hand and carried her across the cave and put her on the table.

Now he really is going to eat me, Sophie thought.

The Giant sat down and stared hard at Sophie. He had truly enormous ears. Each one was as big as the wheel of a truck and he seemed to be able to move them inwards and outwards from his head as he wished.

‘I is hungry!’ the Giant boomed. He grinned, showing massive square teeth. The teeth were very white and very square and they sat in his mouth like huge slices of white bread.

‘P… please don’t eat me,’ Sophie stammered.

The Giant let out a bellow of laughter. ‘Just because I is a giant, you think I is a man-gobbling cannybull!’ he shouted. ‘You is about right! Giants is all cannybully and murderful! And they does gobble up human beans! We is in Giant Country now! Giants is everywhere around! Out there us has the famous Bonecrunching Giant! Bonecrunching Giant crunches up two wopsey whiffling human beans for supper every night! Noise is earbursting! Noise of crunching bones goes crackety-crack for miles around!’

‘Owch!’ Sophie said.

‘Bonecrunching Giant only gobbles human beans from Turkey’ the Giant said. ‘Every night Bonecruncher is galloping off to Turkey to gobble Turks.’

Sophie’s sense of patriotism was suddenly so bruised by this remark that she became quite angry ‘Why Turks?’ she blurted out. ‘What’s wrong with the English?’

‘Bonecrunching Giant says Turks is tasting oh ever so much juicier and more scrumdiddlyumptious! Bonecruncher says Turkish human beans has a glamourly flavour. He says Turks from Turkey is tasting of turkey.’

‘I suppose they would,’ Sophie said.

‘Of course they would!’ the Giant shouted. ‘Every human bean is diddly and different. Some is scrumdiddlyumptious and some is uckyslush. Greeks is all full of uckyslush. No giant is eating Greeks, ever.’

‘Why not?’ Sophie asked.

‘Greeks from Greece is all tasting greasy’ the Giant said.

‘I imagine that’s possible too,’ Sophie said. She was wondering with a bit of a tremble what all this talking about eating people was leading up to. Whatever happened, she simply must play along with this peculiar giant and smile at his jokes.

But were they jokes? Perhaps the great brute was just working up an appetite by talking about food.

‘As I am saying,’ the Giant went on, ‘all human beans is having different flavours. Human beans from Panama is tasting very strong of hats.’

‘Why hats?’ Sophie said.

‘You is not very clever,’ the Giant said, moving his great ears in and out. ‘I thought all human beans is full of brains, but your head is emptier than a bundongle.’

The BFG

‘Do you like vegetables?’ Sophie asked, hoping to steer the conversation towards a slightly less dangerous kind of food.

‘You is trying to change the subject,’ the Giant said sternly. ‘We is having an interesting babblement about the taste of the human bean. The human bean is not a vegetable.’

‘Oh, but the bean is a vegetable,’ Sophie said.

‘Not the human bean,’ the Giant said. ‘The human bean has two legs and a vegetable has no legs at all.’

Sophie didn’t argue any more. The last thing she wanted to do was to make the Giant cross.

‘The human bean,’ the Giant went on, ‘is coming in dillions of different flavours. For instance, human beans from Wales is tasting very whooshey of fish. There is something very fishy about Wales.’

‘You means whales,’ Sophie said. ‘Wales is something quite different.’

‘Wales is whales’, the Giant said. ‘Don’t gobblefunk around with words. I will now give you another example. Human beans from Jersey has a most disgustable woolly tickle on the tongue,’ the Giant said. ‘Human beans from Jersey is tasting of cardigans.’

‘You mean jerseys,’ Sophie said.

‘You are once again gobblefunking!’ the Giant shouted. ‘Don’t do it! This is a serious and snitching subject. May I continue?’

‘Please do,’ Sophie said.

‘Danes from Denmark is tasting ever so much of dogs,’ the Giant went on.

The BFG

‘Of course,’ Sophie said. ‘They taste of great danes.’

‘Wrong!’ cried the Giant, slapping his thigh. ‘Danes from Denmark is tasting doggy because they is tasting of labradors!’

‘Then what do the people of Labrador taste of?’ Sophie asked.

‘Danes,’ the Giant cried, triumphantly. ‘Great danes!’

‘Aren’t you getting a bit mixed up?’ Sophie said.

‘I is a very mixed-up Giant,’ the Giant said. ‘But I does do my best. And I is not nearly as mixed up as the other giants. I know one who gallops all the way to Wellington for his supper.’

‘Wellington?’ Sophie said. ‘Where is Wellington?’

‘Your head is full of squashed flies,’ the Giant said. ‘Wellington is in New Zealand. The human beans in Wellington has an especially scrumdiddlyumptious taste, so says the Welly-eating Giant.’

‘What do the people of Wellington taste of?’ Sophie asked.

‘Boots,’ the Giant said.

‘Of course,’ Sophie said. ‘I should have known.’

Sophie decided that this conversation had now gone on long enough. If she was going to be eaten, she’d rather get it over and done with right away than be kept hanging around any more. ‘What sort of human beings do you eat?’ she asked, trembling.

‘Me!’ shouted the Giant, his mighty voice making the glass jars rattle on their shelves. ‘Me gobbling up human beans! This I never! The others, yes! All the others is gobbling them up every night, but not me! I is a freaky Giant! I is a nice and jumbly Giant! I is the only nice and jumbly Giant in Giant Country! I is THE BIG FRIENDLY GIANT! I is the BFG. What is your name?’

‘My name is Sophie,’ Sophie said, hardly daring to believe the good news she had just heard.

The Giants

‘But if you are so nice and friendly,’ Sophie said, ‘then why did you snatch me from my bed and run away with me?’

‘Because you SAW me,’ the Big Friendly Giant answered. ‘If anyone is ever SEEING a giant, he or she must be taken away hipswitch.’

‘Why?’ asked Sophie.

‘Well, first of all,’ said the BFG, ‘human beans is not really believing in giants, is they? Human beans is not thinking we exist.’

‘I do,’ Sophie said.

‘Ah, but that is only because you has SEEN me!’ cried the BFG. ‘I cannot possibly allow anyone, even little girls, to be SEEING me and staying at home. The first thing you would be doing, you would be scuddling around yodelling the news that you were actually SEEING a giant, and then a great giant-hunt, a mighty giant look-see, would be starting up all over the world, with the human beans all rummaging for the great giant you saw and getting wildly excited. People would be coming rushing and bushing after me with goodness knows what and they would be catching me and locking me into a cage to be stared at. They would be putting me into the zoo or the bunkumhouse with all those squiggling hippodumplings and crockadowndillies.’

Sophie knew that what the Giant said was true. If any person reported actually having seen a giant haunting the streets of a town at night, there would most certainly be a terrific hullabaloo across the world.

The BFG

‘I will bet you,’ the BFG went on, ‘that you would have been splashing the news all over the wonky world, wouldn’t you, if I hadn’t wiggled you away?’

‘I suppose I would,’ Sophie said.

‘And that would never do,’ said the BFG.

‘So what will happen to me now?’ Sophie asked.

‘If you do go back, you will be telling the world,’ said the BFG, ‘most likely on the telly-telly bunkum box and the radio squeaker. So you will just have to be staying here with me for the rest of your life.’

‘Oh no!’ cried Sophie.

‘Oh yes!’ said the BFG. ‘But I am warning you not ever to go whiffling about out of this cave without I is with you or you will be coming to an ucky-mucky end! I is showing you now who is going to eat you up if they is ever catching even one tiny little glimp of you.’

The Big Friendly Giant picked Sophie off the table and carried her to the cave entrance. He rolled the huge stone to one side and said, ‘Peep out over there, little girl, and tell me what you is seeing.’

Sophie, sitting on the BFG’s hand, peeped out of the cave.

The sun was up now and shining fiery-hot over the great yellow wasteland with its blue rocks and dead trees.

‘Is you seeing them?’ the BFG asked.

Sophie, squinting through the glare of the sun, saw several tremendous tall figures moving among the rocks about five hundred yards away. Three or four others were sitting quite motionless on the rocks themselves.

‘This is Giant Country,’ the BFG said. ‘Those is all giants, every one.’

It was a brain-boggling sight. The giants were all naked except for a sort of short skirt around their waists, and their skins were burnt brown by the sun. But it was the sheer size of each one of them that boggled Sophie’s brain most of all. They were simply colossal, far taller and wider than the Big Friendly Giant upon whose hand she was now sitting. And oh how ugly they were! Many of them had large bellies. All of them had long arms and big feet. They were too far away for their faces to be seen clearly, and perhaps that was a good thing.

‘What on earth are they doing?’ Sophie asked.

‘Nothing,’ said the BFG. ‘They is just moocheling and footcheling around and waiting for the night to come. Then they will all be galloping off to places where people is living to find their suppers.’

‘You mean to Turkey,’ Sophie said.

‘Bonecrunching Giant will be galloping to Turkey, of course,’ said the BFG. ‘But the others will be whiffling off to all sorts of flungaway places like Wellington for the booty flavour and Panama for the hatty taste. Every giant is having his own favourite hunting ground.’

‘Do they ever go to England?’ Sophie asked.

‘Often,’ said the BFG. ‘They say the English is tasting ever so wonderfully of crodscollop.’

‘I’m not sure I quite know what that means,’ Sophie said.

‘Meanings is not important,’ said the BFG. ‘I cannot be right all the time. Quite often I is left instead of right.’

‘And are all those beastly giants over there really going off again tonight to eat people?’ Sophie asked.

‘All of them is guzzling human beans every night,’ the BFG answered. ‘All of them excepting me. That is why you will be coming to an ucky-mucky end if any of them should ever be getting his gogglers upon you. You would be swallowed up like a piece of frumpkin pie, all in one dollop!’

‘But eating people is horrible!’ Sophie cried. ‘It’s frightful! Why doesn’t someone stop them?’

‘And who please is going to be stopping them?’ asked the BFG.

The BFG

‘Couldn’t you?’ said Sophie.

‘Never in a pig’s whistle!’ cried the BFG. ‘All of those man-eating giants is enormous and very fierce! They is all at least two times my wideness and double my royal highness!’

‘Twice as high as you!’ cried Sophie.

‘Easily that,’ said the BFG. ‘You is seeing them in the distance but just wait till you get them close up. Those giants is all at least fifty feet tall with huge muscles and cockles alive alive-o. I is the titchy one. I is the runt. Twenty-four feet is puddlenuts in Giant Country.’

‘You mustn’t feel bad about it,’ Sophie said. ‘I think you are just great. Why even your toes must be as big as sausages.’

‘Bigger,’ said the BFG, looking pleased. ‘They is as big as bumplehammers.’

‘How many giants are there out there?’ Sophie asked.

‘Nine altogether,’ answered the BFG.

‘That means,’ said Sophie, ‘that somewhere in the world, every single night, nine wretched people get carried away and eaten alive.’

‘More,’ said the BFG. ‘It is all depending, you see, on how big the human beans is. Japanese beans is very small, so a giant will need to gobble up about six Japanese before he is feeling full up. Others like the Norway people and the Yankee-Doodles is ever so much bigger and usually two or three of those makes a good tuck-in.’

‘But do these disgusting giants go to every single country in the world?’ Sophie asked.

‘All countries excepting Greece is getting visited some time or another,’ the BFG answered. ‘The country which a giant visits is depending on how he is feeling. If it is very warm weather and a giant is feeling as hot as a sizzlepan, he will probably go galloping far up to the frisby north to get himself an Esquimo or two to cool him down. A nice fat Esquimo to a giant is like a lovely ice-cream lolly to you.’

‘I’ll take your word for it,’ Sophie said.

‘And then again, if it is a frosty night and the giant is fridging with cold, he will probably point his nose towards the swultering hotlands to guzzle a few Hottentots to warm him up.’

‘How perfectly horrible,’ Sophie said.

‘Nothing hots a cold giant up like a hot Hottentot,’ the BFG said.

‘And if you were to put me down on the ground and I was to walk out among them now,’ Sophie said, ‘would they really eat me up?’

‘Like a whiffswiddle!’ cried the BFG. ‘And what is more, you is so small they wouldn’t even have to chew you. The first one to be seeing you would pick you up in his fingers and down you’d go like a drop of drain-water!’

‘Let’s go back inside,’ Sophie said. ‘I hate even watching them.’

The Marvellous Ears

Back in the cave, the Big Friendly Giant sat Sophie down once again on the enormous table. ‘Is you quite snuggly there in your nightie?’ he asked. ‘You isn’t fridgy cold?’

‘I’m fine,’ Sophie said.

‘I cannot help thinking,’ said the BFG, ‘about your poor mother and father. By now they must be jipping and skumping all over the house shouting “Hello hello where is Sophie gone?”’

‘I don’t have a mother and father,’ Sophie said. ‘They both died when I was a baby.’

‘Oh, you poor little scrumpiet!’ cried the BFG. ‘Is you not missing them very badly?’

‘Not really,’ Sophie said, ‘because I never knew them.’

‘You is making me sad,’ the BFG said, rubbing his eyes.

‘Don’t be sad,’ Sophie said. ‘No one is going to be worrying too much about me. That place you took me from was the village orphanage. We are all orphans in there.’

‘You is a norphan?’

‘Yes.’

‘How many is there in there?’

‘Ten of us,’ Sophie said. ‘All little girls.’

‘Was you happy there?’ the BFG asked.

‘I hated it,’ Sophie said. ‘The woman who ran it was called Mrs Clonkers and if she caught you breaking any of the rules, like getting out of bed at night or not folding up your clothes, you got punished.’

‘How is you getting punished?’

‘She locked us in the dark cellar for a day and a night without anything to eat or drink.’

‘The rotten old rotrasper!’ cried the BFG.

‘It was horrid,’ Sophie said. ‘We used to dread it. There were rats down there. We could hear them creeping about.’

‘The filthy old fizzwiggler!’ shouted the BFG. ‘That is the horridest thing I is hearing for years! You is making me sadder than ever!’ All at once, a huge tear that would have filled a bucket rolled down one of the BFG’s cheeks and fell with a splash on the floor. It made quite a puddle.

Sophie watched with astonishment. What a strange and moody creature this is, she thought. One moment he is telling me my head is full of squashed flies and the next moment his heart is melting for me because Mrs Clonkers locks us in the cellar.

‘The thing that worries me,’ Sophie said, ‘is having to stay in this dreadful place for the rest of my life. The orphanage was pretty awful, but I wouldn’t have been there for ever, would I?’

‘All is my fault,’ the BFG said. ‘I is the one who kidsnatched you.’ Yet another enormous tear welled from his eye and splashed on to the floor.

‘Now I come to think of it, I won’t actually be here all that long,’ Sophie said.

‘I is afraid you will,’ the BFG said.

‘No, I won’t,’ Sophie said. ‘Those brutes out there are bound to catch me sooner or later and have me for tea.’

‘I is never letting that happen,’ the BFG said.

For a few moments the cave was silent. Then Sophie said, ‘May I ask you a question?’

The BFG wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand and gave Sophie a long thoughtful stare. ‘Shoot away’ he said.

‘Would you please tell me what you were doing in our village last night? Why were you poking that long trumpet thing into the Goochey children’s bedroom and then blowing through it?’

‘Ah-ha!’ cried the BFG, sitting up suddenly in his chair. ‘Now we is getting nosier than a parker!’

‘And the suitcase you were carrying,’ Sophie said. ‘What on earth was that all about?’

The BFG stared suspiciously at the small girl sitting cross-legged on the table.

‘You is asking me to tell you whoppsy big secrets,’ he said. ‘Secrets that nobody is ever hearing before.’

‘I won’t tell a soul,’ Sophie said. ‘I swear it. How could I anyway? I am stuck here for the rest of my life.’

‘You could be telling the other giants.’

‘No, I couldn’t,’ Sophie said. ‘You told me they would eat me up the moment they saw me.’

‘And so they would,’ said the BFG. ‘You is a human bean and human beans is like strawbunkles and cream to those giants.’

‘If they are going to eat me the moment they see me, then I wouldn’t have time to tell them anything, would I?’ Sophie said.

‘You wouldn’t,’ said the BFG.

‘Then why did you say I might?’

‘Because I is brimful of buzzburgers,’ the BFG said. ‘If you listen to everything I am saying you will be getting earache.’

‘Please tell me what you were doing in our village,’ Sophie said. ‘I promise you can trust me.’

‘Would you teach me how to make an elefunt?’ the BFG asked.

‘What do you mean?’ Sophie said.

‘I would dearly love to have an elefunt to ride on,’ the BFG said dreamily. ‘I would so much love to have a jumbly big elefunt and go riding through green forests picking peachy fruits off the trees all day long. This is a sizzling-hot muckfrumping country we is living in. Nothing grows in it except snozzcumbers. I would love to go somewhere else and pick peachy fruits in the early morning from the back of an elefunt.’

Sophie was quite moved by this curious statement.

‘Perhaps one day we will get you an elephant,’ she said. ‘And peachy fruits as well. Now tell me what you were doing in our village.’

‘If you is really wanting to know what I am doing in your village,’ the BFG said, ‘I is blowing a dream into the bedroom of those children.’

‘Blowing a dream?’ Sophie said. ‘What do you mean?’

‘I is a dream-blowing giant,’ the BFG said. ‘When all the other giants is galloping off every what way and which to swollop human beans, I is scuddling away to other places to blow dreams into the bedrooms of sleeping children. Nice dreams. Lovely golden dreams. Dreams that is giving the dreamers a happy time.’

‘Now hang on a minute,’ Sophie said. ‘Where do you get these dreams?’

‘I collect them,’ the BFG said, waving an arm towards all the rows and rows of bottles on the shelves. ‘I has billions of them.’

‘You can’t collect a dream,’ Sophie said. ‘A dream isn’t something you can catch hold of.’

‘You is never going to understand about it,’ the BFG said. ‘That is why I is not wishing to tell you.’

‘Oh, please tell me!’ Sophie said. ‘I will understand! Go on! Tell me how you collect dreams! Tell me everything!’

The BFG settled himself comfortably in his chair and crossed his legs. ‘Dreams,’ he said, ‘is very mysterious things. They is floating around in the air like little wispy-misty bubbles. And all the time they is searching for sleeping people.’

‘Can you see them?’ Sophie asked.

‘Never at first.’

‘Then how do you catch them if you can’t see them?’ Sophie asked.

Ah-ha,’ said the BFG. ‘Now we is getting on to the dark and dusky secrets.’

‘I won’t tell a soul.’

‘I is trusting you,’ the BFG said. He closed his eyes and sat quite still for a moment, while Sophie waited.

‘A dream,’ he said, ‘as it goes whiffling through the night air, is making a tiny little buzzing-humming noise. But this little buzzy-hum is so silvery soft, it is impossible for a human bean to be hearing it.’

The BFG

‘Can you hear it?’ Sophie asked.

The BFG pointed up at his enormous truck-wheel ears which he now began to move in and out. He performed this exercise proudly, with a little proud smile on his face. ‘Is you seeing these?’ he asked.

‘How could I miss them?’ Sophie said.

‘They maybe is looking a bit propsposterous to you,’ the BFG said, ‘but you must believe me when I say they is very extra-usual ears indeed. They is not to be coughed at.’

‘I’m quite sure they’re not,’ Sophie said.

‘They is allowing me to hear absolutely every single twiddly little thing.’

‘You mean you can hear things I can’t hear?’ Sophie said.

‘You is deaf as a dumpling compared with me!’ cried the BFG. ‘You is hearing only thumping loud noises with those little earwigs of yours. But I am hearing all the secret whisperings of the world!’

‘Such as what?’ Sophie asked.

‘In your country’ he said, ‘I is hearing the footsteps of a ladybird as she goes walking across a leaf.’

‘Honestly?’ Sophie said, beginning to be impressed.

‘What’s more, I is hearing those footsteps very loud,’ the BFG said. ‘When a ladybird is walking across a leaf, I is hearing her feet going clumpety-clumpety-clump like giants’ footsteps.’

‘Good gracious me!’ Sophie said. ‘What else can you hear?’

‘I is hearing the little ants chittering to each other as they scuddle around in the soil.’

‘You mean you can hear ants talking?’

‘Every single word,’ the BFG said. ‘Although I is not exactly understanding their langwitch.’

‘Go on,’ Sophie said.

‘Sometimes, on a very clear night,’ the BFG said, ‘and if I is swiggling my ears in the right direction,’ – and here he swivelled his great ears upwards so they were facing the ceiling – ‘if I is swiggling them like this and the night is very clear, I is sometimes hearing faraway music coming from the stars in the sky.’

A queer little shiver passed through Sophie’s body. She sat very quiet, waiting for more.

‘My ears is what told me you was watching me out of your window last night,’ the BFG said.

‘But I didn’t make a sound,’ Sophie said.

‘I was hearing your heart beating across the road,’ the BFG said. ‘Loud as a drum.’

‘Go on,’ Sophie said. ‘Please.’

‘I can hear plants and trees.’

‘Do they talk?’ Sophie asked.

‘They is not exactly talking,’ the BFG said. ‘But they is making noises. For instance, if I come along and I is picking a lovely flower, if I is twisting the stem of the flower till it breaks, then the plant is screaming. I can hear it screaming and screaming very clear.’

‘You don’t mean it!’ Sophie cried. ‘How awful!’

‘It is screaming just like you would be screaming if someone was twisting your arm right off.’

‘Is that really true?’ Sophie asked.

‘You think I is swizzfiggling you?’

‘It is rather hard to believe.’

‘Then I is stopping right here,’ said the BFG sharply. ‘I is not wishing to be called a fibster.’

‘Oh no! I’m not calling you anything!’ Sophie cried. ‘I believe you! I do really! Please go on!’

The BFG gave her a long hard stare. Sophie looked right back at him, her face open to his. ‘I believe you,’ she said softly.

She had offended him, she could see that.

‘I wouldn’t ever be fibbling to you,’ he said.

‘I know you wouldn’t,’ Sophie said. ‘But you must understand that it isn’t easy to believe such amazing things straight away.’

‘I understand that,’ the BFG said.

‘So do please forgive me and go on,’ she said.

He waited a while longer, and then he said, ‘It is the same with trees as it is with flowers. If I is chopping an axe into the trunk of a big tree, I is hearing a terrible sound coming from inside the heart of the tree.’

‘What sort of sound?’ Sophie asked.

‘A soft moaning sound,’ the BFG said. ‘It is like the sound an old man is making when he is dying slowly.’

He paused. The cave was very silent.

‘Trees is living and growing just like you and me,’ he said. ‘They is alive. So is plants.’

He was sitting very straight in his chair now, his hands clasped tightly together in front of him. His face was bright, his eyes round and bright as two stars.

‘Such wonderful and terrible sounds I is hearing!’ he said. ‘Some of them you would never wish to be hearing yourself! But some is like glorious music!’

He seemed almost to be transfigured by the excitement of his thoughts. His face was beautiful in its blaze of emotions.

‘Tell me some more about them,’ Sophie said quietly.

‘You just ought to be hearing the little micies talking!’ he said. ‘Little micies is always talking to each other and I is hearing them as loud as my own voice.’

‘What do they say?’ Sophie asked.

‘Only the micies know that,’ he said. ‘Spiders is also talking a great deal. You might not be thinking it but spiders is the most tremendous natterboxes. And when they is spinning their webs, they is singing all the time. They is singing sweeter than a nightingull.’

‘Who else do you hear?’ Sophie asked.

‘One of the biggest chatbags is the cattlepiddlers,’ the BFG said.

‘What do they say?’

‘They is argying all the time about who is going to be the prettiest butteryfly. That is all they is ever talking about.’

‘Is there a dream floating around in here now?’ Sophie asked.

The BFG moved his great ears this way and that, listening intently. He shook his head. ‘There is no dream in here,’ he said, ‘except in the bottles. I has a special place to go for catching dreams. They is not often coming to Giant Country.’

‘How do you catch them?’

‘The same way you is catching butteryflies,’ the BFG answered. ‘With a net.’ He stood up and crossed over to a corner of the cave where a pole was leaning against the wall. The pole was about thirty feet long and there was a net on the end of it. ‘Here is the dream-catcher,’ he said, grasping the pole in one hand. ‘Every morning I is going out and snitching new dreams to put in my bottles.’

Suddenly, he seemed to lose interest in the conversation. ‘I is getting hungry,’ he said. ‘It is time for eats.’

Snozzcumbers

‘But if you don’t eat people like all the others,’ Sophie said, ‘then what do you live on?’

‘That is a squelching tricky problem around here,’ the BFG answered. ‘In this sloshflunking Giant Country, happy eats like pineapples and pigwinkles is simply not growing. Nothing is growing except for one extremely icky-poo vegetable. It is called the snozzcumber.’

‘The snozzcumber!’ cried Sophie. ‘There’s no such thing.’

The BFG looked at Sophie and smiled, showing about twenty of his square white teeth. ‘Yesterday’ he said, ‘we was not believing in giants, was we? Today we is not believing in snozzcumbers. Just because we happen not to have actually seen something with our own two little winkles, we think it is not existing. What about for instance the great squizzly scotch-hopper?’

‘I beg your pardon?’ Sophie said.

‘And the humplecrimp?’

‘What’s that?’ Sophie said.

‘And the wraprascal?’

‘The what?’ Sophie said.

‘And the crumpscoddle?’

‘Are they animals?’ Sophie asked.

‘They is common animals,’ said the BFG contemptuously. ‘I is not a very know-all giant myself, but it seems to me that you is an absolutely know-nothing human bean. Your brain is full of rotten-wool.’

‘You mean cotton-wool,’ Sophie said.

‘What I mean and what I say is two different things,’ the BFG announced rather grandly. ‘I will now show you a snozzcumber.’

The BFG flung open a massive cupboard and took out the weirdest-looking thing Sophie had ever seen. It was about half as long again as an ordinary man but was much thicker. It was as thick around its girth as a perambulator. It was black with white stripes along its length. And it was covered all over with coarse knobbles.

The BFG

‘Here is the repulsant snozzcumber!’ cried the BFG, waving it about. ‘I squoggle it! I mispise it! I dispunge it! But because I is refusing to gobble up human beans like the other giants, I must spend my life guzzling up icky-poo snozzcumbers instead. If I don’t, I will be nothing but skin and groans.’

‘You mean skin and bons,’ Sophie said.

‘I know it is bones,’ the BFG said. ‘But please understand that I cannot be helping it if I sometimes is saying things a little squiggly. I is trying my very best all the time.’ The Big Friendly Giant looked suddenly so forlorn that Sophie got quite upset.

‘I’m sorry’ she said. ‘I didn’t mean to be rude.’

‘There never was any schools to teach me talking in Giant Country,’ the BFG said sadly.

‘But couldn’t your mother have taught you?’ Sophie asked.

‘My mother!’ cried the BFG. ‘Giants don’t have mothers! Surely you is knowing that.’

‘I did not know that,’ Sophie said.

‘Whoever heard of a woman giant!’ shouted the BFG, waving the snozzcumber around his head like a lasso. ‘There never was a woman giant! And there never will be one. Giants is always men!’

Sophie felt herself getting a little muddled. ‘In that case,’ she said, ‘how were you born?’

‘Giants isn’t born,’ the BFG answered. ‘Giants appears and that’s all there is to it. They simply appears, the same way as the sun and the stars.’

‘And when did you appear?’ Sophie asked.

‘Now how on earth could I be knowing a thing like that?’ said the BFG. ‘It was so long ago I couldn’t count.’

‘You mean you don’t even know how old you are?’

‘No giant is knowing that,’ the BFG said. ‘All I is knowing about myself is that I is very old, very very old and crumply Perhaps as old as the earth.’

‘What happens when a giant dies?’ Sophie asked.

‘Giants is never dying,’ the BFG answered. ‘Sometimes and quite suddenly, a giant is disappearing and nobody is ever knowing where he goes to. But mostly us giants is simply going on and on like whiffsy time-twiddlers.’

The BFG was still holding the awesome snozzcumber in his right hand, and now he put one end into his mouth and bit off a huge hunk of it. He started crunching it up and the noise he made was like the crunching of lumps of ice.

‘It’s filthing!’ he spluttered, speaking with his mouth full and spraying large pieces of snozzcumber like bullets in Sophie’s direction. Sophie hopped around on the table-top, ducking out of the way.

‘It’s disgusterous!’ the BFG gurgled. ‘It’s sickable! It’s rotsome! It’s maggotwise! Try it yourself, this foulsome snozzcumber!’

‘No, thank you,’ Sophie said, backing away.

‘It’s all you’re going to be guzzling around here from now on so you might as well get used to it,’ said the BFG. ‘Go on, you snipsy little winkle, have a go!’

Sophie took a small nibble. ‘Uggggggggh!’ she spluttered. ‘Oh no! Oh gosh! Oh help!’ She spat it out quickly. ‘It tastes of frogskins!’ she gasped. ‘And rotten fish!’

‘Worse than that!’ cried the BFG, roaring with laughter. ‘To me it is tasting of clockcoaches and slime-wanglers!’

The BFG

‘Do we really have to eat it?’ Sophie said.

‘You do unless you is wanting to become so thin you will be disappearing into a thick ear.’

‘Into thin air,’ Sophie said. ‘A thick ear is something quite different.’

Once again that sad winsome look came into the BFG’s eyes. ‘Words,’ he said, ‘is oh such a twitch-tickling problem to me all my life. So you must simply try to be patient and stop squibbling. As I am telling you before, I know exactly what words I am wanting to say, but somehow or other they is always getting squiff-squiddled around.’

‘That happens to everyone,’ Sophie said.

‘Not like it happens to me,’ the BFG said. ‘I is speaking the most terrible wigglish.’

‘I think you speak beautifully’ Sophie said.

‘You do?’ cried the BFG, suddenly brightening. ‘You really do?’

‘Simply beautifully’ Sophie repeated.

‘Well, that is the nicest present anybody is ever giving me in my whole life!’ cried the BFG. ‘Are you sure you is not twiddling my leg?’

The BFG

‘Of course not,’ Sophie said. ‘I just love the way you talk.’

‘How wondercrump!’ cried the BFG, still beaming. ‘How whoopsey-splunkers! How absolutely squiffling! I is all of a stutter.’

‘Listen,’ Sophie said. ‘We don’t have to eat snozzcumbers. In the fields around our village there are all sorts of lovely vegetables like cauliflowers and carrots. Why don’t you get some of those next time you go visiting?’

The BFG raised his great head proudly in the air. ‘I is a very honourable giant,’ he said. ‘I would rather be chewing up rotsome snozzcumbers than snitching things from other people.’

‘You stole me,’ Sophie said.

‘I did not steal you very much,’ said the BFG, smiling gently. ‘After all, you is only a tiny little girl.’

The Bloodbottler

Suddenly, a tremendous thumping noise came from outside the cave entrance and a voice like thunder shouted, ‘Runt! Is you there, Runt? I is hearing you jabbeling! Who is you jabbeling to, Runt?’

‘Look out!’ cried the BFG. ‘It’s the Bloodbottler!’ But before he had finished speaking, the stone was rolled aside and a fifty-foot giant, more than twice as tall and wide as the BFG, came striding into the cave. He was naked except for a dirty little piece of cloth around his bottom.

Sophie was on the table-top. The enormous partly eaten snozzcumber was lying near her. She ducked behind it.

The creature came clumping into the cave and stood towering over the BFG. ‘Who was you jabbeling to in here just now?’ he boomed.

‘I is jabbeling to myself,’ the BFG answered.

‘Pilfflefizz!’ shouted the Bloodbottler. ‘Bugswallop!’ he boomed. ‘You is talking to a human bean, that’s what I is thinking!’

‘No no!’ cried the BFG.

‘Yus yus!’ boomed the Bloodbottler. ‘I is guessing you has snitched away a human bean and brought it back to your bunghole as a pet! So now I is winkling it out and guzzling it as extra snacks before my supper!’

The poor BFG was very nervous. ‘There’s n-no one in here,’ he stammered. ‘W-why don’t you Heave me alone?’

The BFG

The Bloodbottler pointed a finger as large as a tree-trunk at the BFG. ‘Runty little scumscrewer!’ he shouted. ‘Piffling little swishfiggler! Squimpy little bottle-wart! Prunty little pogswizzler! I is now going to search the primroses!’ He grabbed the BFG by the arm. ‘And you is going to help me do it. Us together is going to winkle out this tasteful little human bean!’ he shouted.

The BFG had intended to whisk Sophie off the table as soon as he got the chance and hide her behind his back, but now there was no hope of doing this. Sophie peered around the chewed-off end of the enormous snozzcumber, watching the two giants as they moved away down the cave. The Bloodbottler was a gruesome sight. His skin was reddish-brown. There was black hair sprouting on his chest and arms and on his stomach. The hair on his head was long and dark and tangled. His foul face was round and squashy-looking. The eyes were tiny black holes. The nose was small and flat. But the mouth was huge. It spread right across the face almost ear to ear, and it had lips that were like two gigantic purple frankfurters lying one on top of the other. Craggy yellow teeth stuck out between the two purple frankfurter lips, and rivers of spit ran down over the chin.

???????? ?????? ?????????? ??? ?????!

?????? ????????? ????????

It was not in the least difficult to believe that this ghastly brute ate men, women and children every night.

The Bloodbottler, still holding the BFG by the arm, was examining the rows and rows of bottles. ‘You and your pibbling bottles!’ he shouted. ‘What is you putting in them?’

‘Nothing that would interest you,’ the BFG answered. ‘You is only interested in guzzling human beans.’

‘And you is dotty as a dogswoggler!’ cried the Bloodbottler.

Soon the Bloodbottler would be coming back, Sophie told herself, and he was bound to search the table-top. But she couldn’t possibly jump off the table. It was twelve feet high. She’d break a leg. The snozzcumber, although it was as thick as a perambulator, was not going to hide her if the Bloodbottler picked it up. She examined the chewed-off end. It had large seeds in the middle, each one as big as a melon. They were embedded in soft slimy stuff. Taking care to stay out of sight, Sophie reached forward and scooped away half a dozen of these seeds. This left a hole in the middle of the snozzcumber large enough for her to crouch in so long as she rolled herself up into a ball. She crawled into it. It was a wet and slimy hiding-place, but what did that matter if it was going to save her from being eaten.

The Bloodbottler and the BFG were coming back towards the table now. The BFG was nearly fainting with fear. Any moment, he was telling himself, Sophie would be discovered and eaten.

Suddenly, the Bloodbottler grabbed the half-eaten snozzcumber. The BFG stared at the bare table. Sophie, where is you? he thought desperately. You cannot possibly be jumpelling off that high table, so where is you hiding, Sophie?

‘So this is the filthing rotsome glubbage you is eating!’ boomed the Bloodbottler, holding up the partly eaten snozzcumber. ‘You must be cockles to be guzzling such rubbsquash!’

For a moment, the Bloodbottler seemed to have forgotten about his search for Sophie. The BFG decided to lead him further off the track. ‘That is the scrumdiddlyumptious snozzcumber,’ he said. ‘I is guzzling it gleefully every night and day. Is you never trying a snozzcumber, Bloodbottler?’

‘Human beans is juicier,’ the Bloodbottler said.

‘You is talking rommytot,’ the BFG said, growing braver by the second. He was thinking that if only he could get the Bloodbottler to take one bite of the repulsive vegetable, the sheer foulness of its flavour would send him bellowing out of the cave. ‘I is happy to let you sample it,’ the BFG went on. ‘But please, when you see how truly glumptious it is, do not be guzzling the whole thing. Leave me a little snitchet for my supper.’

The Bloodbottler stared suspiciously with small piggy eyes at the snozzcumber.

Sophie, crouching inside the chewed-off end, began to tremble all over.

‘You is not switchfiddling me, is you?’ said the Bloodbottler.

‘Never!’ cried the BFG passionately. ‘Take a bite and I am positive you will be shouting out oh how scrum-diddlyumptious this wonderveg is!’

The BFG could see the greedy Bloodbottler’s mouth beginning to water more than ever at the prospect of extra food. ‘Vegitibbles is very good for you,’ he went on. ‘It is not healthsome always to be eating meaty things.’

‘Just this once,’ the Bloodbottler said, ‘I is going to taste these rotsome eats of yours. But I is warning you that if it is filthsome, I is smashing it over your sludgy little head!’

He picked up the snozzcumber.

He began raising it on its long journey to his mouth, some fifty feet up in the air.

Sophie wanted to scream Don’t! But that would have been an even more certain death. Crouching among the slimy seeds, she felt herself being lifted up and up and up.

Suddenly, there was a crunch as the Bloodbottler bit a huge hunk off the end. Sophie saw his yellow teeth clamping together, a few inches from her head. Then there was utter darkness. She was in his mouth. She caught a whiff of his evil-smelling breath. It stank of bad meat. She waited for the teeth to go crunch once more. She prayed that she would be killed quickly.

‘Eeeeeowtch!’ roared the Bloodbottler. ‘Ughbwelch! Ieeeech!’ And then he spat.

All of the great lumps of snozzcumber that were in his mouth, as well as Sophie herself, went shooting out across the cave.

If Sophie had struck the stony wall of the cave, she would most certainly have been killed. Instead, she hit the soft folds of the BFG’s black cloak hanging against the wall. She dropped to the ground, half-stunned. She crawled under the hem of the cloak and there she crouched.

‘You little swinebuggler!’ roared the Bloodbottler. ‘You little pigswiller!’ He rushed at the BFG and smashed what was left of the snozzcumber over his head. Fragments of the filthy vegetable splashed all over the cave.

The BFG

‘You is not loving it?’ the BFG asked innocently, rubbing his head.

‘Loving it!’ yelled the Bloodbottler. ‘That is the most disgusterous taste that is ever clutching my teeth! You must be buggies to be swalloping slutch like that! Every night you could be galloping off happy as a hamburger and gobbling juicy human beans!’

‘Eating human beans is wrong and evil,’ the BFG said.

‘It is guzzly and glumptious!’ shouted the Bloodbottler. ‘And tonight I is galloping off to Chile to swobble a few human Chile beans. Is you wishing to know why I is choosing Chile?’

‘I is not wishing to know anything,’ the BFG said, very dignified.

‘I is choosing Chile,’ the Bloodbottler said, ‘because I is fed up with the taste of Esquimos. It is important I has plenty of cold eats in this scuddling hot weather, and the next coldest thing to an Esquimo is a Chile bean. Human beans from Chile is very chilly.’

‘Horrible,’ the BFG said. ‘You ought to be ashamed.’

‘Other giants is all saying they is wanting to gallop off to England tonight to guzzle school-chiddlers,’ the Bloodbottler said. ‘I is very fond indeed of English school-chiddlers. They has a nice inky-booky flavour. Perhaps I will change my mind and go to England with them.’

‘You is disgusting,’ the BFG said.

‘And you is an insult to the giant peoples!’ shouted the Bloodbottler. ‘You is not fit to be a giant! You is a squinky little squiddler! You is a pibbling little pitsqueak! You is a… cream puffnut!’

With that, the horrible Bloodbottling Giant strode out of the cave. The BFG ran to the cave entrance and quickly rolled the stone back into place.

‘Sophie,’ he whispered. ‘Sophie, where is you, Sophie?’

Sophie emerged from under the hem of the black cloak. ‘I’m here,’ she said.

The BFG picked her up and held her tenderly in the palm of his hand. ‘Oh, I is so happy to be finding you all in one lump!’ he said.

‘I was in his mouth,’ Sophie said.

‘You was what!’ cried the BFG.

Sophie told him what had happened.

‘And there I was telling him to eat the filthsome snozzcumber and you was all the time inside it!’ the BFG cried.

‘Not much fun,’ Sophie said.

‘Just look at you, you poor little chiddler!’ cried the BFG. ‘You is all covered in snozzcumber and giant spit.’ He set about cleaning her up as best he could. ‘I is hating those other giants more than ever now,’ he said. ‘You know what I should like?’

‘What?’ Sophie said.

‘I should like to find a way of disappearing them, every single one.’

‘I’d be glad to help you,’ Sophie said. ‘Let me see if I can’t think up a way of doing it.’

The BFG

Frobscottle and

Whizzpoppers

By now Sophie was beginning to feel not only extremely hungry, but very thirsty as well. Had she been at home she would have finished her breakfast long ago.

‘Are you sure there’s nothing else to eat around here except those disgusting smelly snozzcumbers?’ she asked.

‘Not even a fizzwinkel,’ answered the Big Friendly Giant.

‘In that case, may I please have a little water?’ she said.

‘Water?’ said the BFG, frowning mightily. ‘What is water?’

‘We drink it,’ Sophie said. ‘What do you drink?’

‘Frobscottle,’ announced the BFG. ‘All giants is drinking frobscottle.’

‘Is it as nasty as your snozzcumbers?’ Sophie asked.

‘Nasty!’ cried the BFG. ‘Never is it nasty! Frobscottle is sweet and jumbly!’ He got up from his chair and went to a second huge cupboard. He opened it and took out a glass bottle that must have been six feet tall. The liquid inside it was pale green, and the bottle was half full.

‘Here is frobscottle!’ he cried, holding the bottle up proud and high, as though it contained some rare wine. ‘Delumptious fizzy frobscottle!’ he shouted. He gave it a shake and the green stuff began to fizz like mad.

‘But look! It’s fizzing the wrong way!’ Sophie cried. And indeed it was. The bubbles, instead of travelling upwards and bursting on the surface, were shooting downwards and bursting at the bottom. A pale green frothy fizz was forming at the bottom of the bottle.

The BFG

‘What on earth is you meaning the wrong way?’ asked the BFG.

‘In our fizzy drinks,’ Sophie said, ‘the bubbles always go up and burst at the top.’

‘Upwards is the wrong way!’ cried the BFG. ‘You mustn’t ever be having the bubbles going upwards! That the most flushbunking rubbish I ever is hearing!’

‘Why do you say that?’ Sophie asked.

‘You is asking me why?’ cried the BFG, waving the enormous bottle around as though he were conducting an orchestra. ‘You is actually meaning to tell me you cannot see why it is a scrotty mistake to have the bubbles flying up instead of down?’

‘You said it was flushbunking. Now you say it’s scrotty. Which is it?’ Sophie asked politely.

‘Both!’ cried the BFG. ‘It is a flushbunking and a scrotty mistake to let the bubbles go upwards! If you can’t see why, you must be as quacky as a duckhound! By ringo, your head must be so full of frogsquinkers and buzz-wangles, I is frittered if I know how you can think at all!’

‘Why shouldn’t the bubbles go upward?’ Sophie asked.

‘I will explain,’ said the BFG. ‘But tell me first what name is you calling your frobscottle by?’

‘One is Coke,’ Sophie said. ‘Another is Pepsi. There are lots of them.’

‘And the bubbles is all going up?’

‘They all go up,’ Sophie said.

‘Catasterous!’ cried the BFG. ‘Upgoing bubbles is a catasterous disastrophe!’

‘Will you please tell me why?’ Sophie said.

‘If you will listen carefully I will try to explain,’ said the BFG. ‘But your brain is so full of bugwhiffles, I doubt you will ever understand.’

‘I’ll do my best,’ Sophie said patiently.

‘Very well, then. When you is drinking this cokey drink of yours,’ said the BFG, ‘it is going straight down into your tummy. Is that right? Or is it left?’

‘It’s right,’ Sophie said.

‘And the bubbles is going also into your tummy. Right or left?’

‘Right again,’ Sophie said.

‘And the bubbles is fizzing upwards?’

‘Of course,’ Sophie said.

‘Which means,’ said the BFG, ‘that they will all come swishwiffling up your throat and out of your mouth and make a foulsome belchy burp!’

‘That is often true,’ Sophie said. ‘But what’s wrong with a little burp now and again? It’s sort of fun.’

‘Burping is filthsome,’ the BFG said. ‘Us giants is never doing it.’

‘But with your drink,’ Sophie said, ‘what was it you called it?’

‘Frobscottle,’ said the BFG.

‘With frobscottle,’ Sophie said, ‘the bubbles in your tummy will be going downwards and that could have a far nastier result.’

‘Why nasty?’ asked the BFG, frowning.

‘Because,’ Sophie said, blushing a little, ‘if they go down instead of up, they’ll be coming out somewhere else with an even louder and ruder noise.’

‘A whizzpopper!’ cried the BFG, beaming at her. ‘Us giants is making whizzpoppers all the time! Whizzpopping is a sign of happiness. It is music in our ears! You surely is not telling me that a little whizzpopping is forbidden among human beans?’

‘It is considered extremely rude,’ Sophie said.

‘But you is whizzpopping, is you not, now and again?’ asked the BFG.

‘Everyone is whizzpopping, if that’s what you call it,’ Sophie said. ‘Kings and Queens are whizzpopping. Presidents are whizzpopping. Glamorous film stars are whizzpopping. Little babies are whizzpopping. But where I come from, it is not polite to talk about it.’

‘Redunculous!’ said the BFG. ‘If everyone is making whizzpoppers, then why not talk about it? We is now having a swiggle of this delicious frobscottle and you will see the happy result.’ The BFG shook the bottle vigorously. The pale green stuff fizzed and bubbled. He removed the cork and took a tremendous gurgling swig.

‘It’s glummy!’ he cried. ‘I love it!’

For a few moments, the Big Friendly Giant stood quite still, and a look of absolute ecstasy began to spread over his long wrinkly face. Then suddenly the heavens opened and he let fly with a series of the loudest and rudest noises Sophie had ever heard in her life. They reverberated around the walls of the cave like thunder and the glass jars rattled on their shelves. But most astonishing of all, the force of the explosions actually lifted the enormous giant clear off his feet, like a rocket.

‘Whoopee!’ he cried, when he came down to earth again. ‘Now that is whizzpopping for you!’

Sophie burst out laughing. She couldn’t help it.

‘Have some yourself!’ cried the BFG, tipping the neck of the enormous bottle towards her.

‘Don’t you have a cup?’ Sophie said.

‘No cups. Only bottle.’

Sophie opened her mouth, and very gently the BFG tipped the bottle forward and poured some of the fabulous frobscottle down her throat.

And oh gosh, how delicious it was! It was sweet and refreshing. It tasted of vanilla and cream, with just the faintest trace of raspberries on the edge of the flavour. And the bubbles were wonderful. Sophie could actually feel them bouncing and bursting all around her tummy. It was an amazing sensation. It felt as though hundreds of tiny people were dancing a jig inside her and tickling her with their toes. It was lovely.

The BFG

‘It’s lovely!’ she cried.

‘Just wait,’ said the BFG, flapping his ears.

Sophie could feel the bubbles travelling lower and lower down her tummy, and then suddenly, inevitably… the explosion came. The trumpets sounded and she too made the walls of the cavern ring with the sound of music and thunder.

‘Bravo!’ shouted the BFG, waving the bottle. ‘You is very good for a beginner! Let’s have some more!’

Journey to Dream Country

After the mad frobscottle party was over, Sophie settled herself again on top of the enormous table.

‘You is feeling better now?’ asked the Big Friendly Giant.

‘Much better, thank you,’ Sophie said.

‘Whenever I is feeling a bit scrotty,’ the BFG said, ‘a few gollops of frobscottle is always making me hopscotchy again.’

‘I must say it’s quite an experience,’ Sophie said.

‘It’s a razztwizzler,’ the BFG said. ‘It’s gloriumptious.’ He turned away and strode across the cave and picked up his dream-catching net. ‘I is galloping off now,’ he said, ‘to catch some more whoppsy-whiffling dreams for my collection. I is doing this every day without missing. Is you wishing to come with me?’

‘Not me, thank you very much!’ Sophie said. ‘Not with those other giants lurking outside!’

‘I is snuggling you very cosy into the pocket of my waistcoat,’ the BFG said. ‘Then no one is seeing you.’

Before Sophie could protest, he had picked her up off the table and popped her into the waistcoat pocket. There was plenty of room in there. ‘Is you wishing for a little hole to peep out from?’ he asked her.

‘There’s one here already’ she said. She had found a small hole in the pocket, and when she put one eye close to it, she could see out very well indeed. She watched the BFG as he bent down and filled his suitcase with empty glass jars. He closed the lid, picked up the suitcase in one hand, took the pole with the net on the end in the other hand, and marched towards the entrance of the cave.

As soon as he was outside, the BFG set off across the great hot yellow wasteland where the blue rocks lay and the dead trees stood and where all the other giants were skulking about.

Sophie, squatting low on her heels in the pocket of the leather waistcoat, had one eye glued to the little hole. She saw the group of enormous giants about three hundred yards ahead.

‘Hold your breaths!’ the BFG whispered down to her. ‘Cross your figglers! Here we go! We is going right past all these other giants! Is you seeing that whopping great one, the one nearest to us?’

‘I see him,’ Sophie whispered back, quivering.

‘That is the horriblest of them all. And the biggest of them all. He is called the Fleshlumpeating Giant.’

‘I don’t want to hear about him,’ Sophie said.

‘He is fifty-four feet high,’ the BFG said softly as he jogged along. ‘And he is swolloping human beans like they is sugar-lumps, two or three at a time.’

‘You’re making me nervous,’ Sophie said.

‘I is nervous myself,’ the BFG whispered. ‘I always gets as jumpsy as a joghopper when the Fleshlumpeating Giant is around.’

‘Keep away from him,’ Sophie pleaded.

‘Not possible,’ the BFG answered. ‘He is galloping easily two times as quicksy as me.’

‘Shall we turn back?’ Sophie said.

‘Turning back is worse,’ the BFG said. ‘If they is seeing me running away, they is all giving chase and throwing rocks.’

‘They would never eat you though, would they?’ Sophie asked.

‘Giants is never guzzling other giants,’ the BFG said. ‘They is fighting and squarreling a lot with each other, but never guzzling. Human beans is more tasty to them.’

The giants had already spotted the BFG and all heads were turned, watching him as he jogged forward. He was aiming to pass well to the right of the group.

Through her little peep-hole, Sophie saw the Fleshlumpeating Giant moving over to intercept them. He didn’t hurry. He just loped over casually to a point where the BFG would have to pass. The others loped after him. Sophie counted nine of them altogether and she recognized the Bloodbottler in the middle of them. They were bored. They had nothing to do until nightfall. There was an air of menace about them as they loped slowly across the plain with long lolloping strides, heading for the BFG.

‘Here comes the runty one!’ boomed the Fleshlumpeater. ‘Ho-ho there, runty one! Where is you splatch-winkling away to in such a hefty hurry?’ He shot out an enormous arm and grabbed the BFG by the hair. The BFG didn’t struggle. He simply stopped and stood quite still and said, ‘Be so kind as to be letting go of my hair, Fleshlumpeater.’

The Fleshlumpeater released him and stepped back a pace. The other giants stood around, waiting for the fun to start.

‘Now then, you little grobsquiffler!’ boomed the Fleshlumpeater. ‘We is all of us wanting to know where you is galloping off to every day in the daytime. Nobody ought to be galloping off to anywhere until it is getting dark. The human beans could easily be spotting you and starting a giant hunt and we is not wanting that to happen, is we not?’

‘We is not!’ shouted the other giants. ‘Go back to your cave, runty one!’

‘I is not galloping to any human bean country,’ the BFG said. ‘I is going to other places.’

‘I is thinking,’ said the Fleshlumpeater, ‘that you is catching human beans and keeping them as pets!’

‘Right you is!’ cried the Bloodbottler. ‘Just now I is hearing him chittering away to one of them in his cave!’

‘You is welcome to go and search my cave from frack to bunt,’ the BFG answered. ‘You can go looking into every crook and nanny. There is no human beans or stringy beans or runner beans or jelly beans or any other beans in here.’

Sophie crouched still as a mouse inside the BFG’s pocket. She hardly dared breathe. She was terrified she might sneeze. The slightest sound or movement would give her away. Through the tiny peep-hole she watched the giants clustering around the poor BFG. How revolting they were! All of them had piggy little eyes and enormous mouths with thick sausage lips. When the Fleshlumpeater was speaking, she got a glimpse of his tongue. It was jet black, like a slab of black steak. Every one of them was more than twice as tall as the BFG.

Suddenly, the Fleshlumpeater shot out two enormous hands and grabbed the BFG around the waist. He tossed him high in the air and shouted, ‘Catch him, Manhugger!’

The Manhugger caught him. The other giants spread out quickly in a large circle, each giant about twenty yards from his neighbour, preparing for the game they were going to play. Now the Manhugger threw the BFG high and far, shouting ‘Catch him, Bonecruncher!’

The Bonecruncher ran forward and caught the tumbling BFG and immediately swung him up again. ‘Catch him, Childchewer!’ he shouted.

And so it went on. The giants were playing ball with the BFG, vying with each other to see who could throw him the highest. Sophie dug her nails into the sides of the pocket, trying to prevent herself from tumbling out when she was upside down. She felt as though she were in a barrel going over the Niagara Falls. And all the time there was the fearful danger that one of the giants would fail to catch the BFG and he would go crashing to the ground.

The BFG

‘Catch him, Meatdripper!’…

‘Catch him, Gizzardgulper!’…

‘Catch him, Maidmasher!’…

‘Catch him, Bloodbottler!’…

‘Catch him!… Catch him!… Catch him!…’

In the end, they got bored with this game. They dumped the poor BFG on the ground. He was dazed and shattered. They gave him a few kicks and shouted, ‘Run, you little runt! Let us be seeing how fast you is galloping!’ The BFG ran. What else could he do? The giants picked up rocks and hurled them after him. He managed to dodge them. ‘Ruddy little runt!’ they shouted. ‘Troggy little twit! Shrivelly little shrimp! Mucky little midget! Squaggy little squib! Grobby little grub!’

At last the BFG got clear of them all and in another couple of minutes the pack of giants was out of sight over the horizon. Sophie popped her head up from the pocket. ‘I didn’t like that,’ she said.

‘Phew!’ said the BFG. ‘Phew and far between! They was in a nasty crotching mood today, was they not! I is sorry you was having such a whirlgig time.’

‘No worse than you,’ Sophie said. ‘Would they ever really hurt you?’

‘I isn’t ever trusting them,’ the BFG said.

‘How do they actually catch the humans they eat?’ Sophie asked.

‘They is usually just sticking an arm in through the bedroom window and snitching them from their beds,’ the BFG said.

‘Like you did to me.’

‘Ah, but I isn’t eating you,’ the BFG said.

‘How else do they catch them?’ Sophie asked.

‘Sometimes,’ the BFG said, ‘they is swimmeling in from the sea like fishies with only their heads showing above the water, and then out comes a big hairy hand and grabbles someone off the beach.’

‘Children as well?’

‘Often chiddlers,’ the BFG said. ‘Little chiddlers who is building sandcastles on the beach. That is who the swimmeling ones are after. Little chiddlers is not so tough to eat as old grandmamma, so says the Childchewing Giant.’

As they talked, the BFG was galloping fast over the land. Sophie was standing right up in his waistcoat pocket now and holding on to the edge with both hands. Her head and shoulders were in the open and the wind was blowing in her hair.

‘How else do they catch people?’ she asked.

‘All of them is having their own special ways of catching the human bean,’ the BFG said. ‘The Meatdripping Giant is preferring to pretend he is a big tree growing in the park. He is standing in the park in the dusky evening and he is holding great big branches over his head, and there he is waiting until some happy families is coming to have a picnic under the spreading tree. The Meatdripping Giant is watching them as they lay out their little picnic. But in the end it is the Meatdripper who is having the picnic.’

‘It’s too awful!’ Sophie cried.

‘The Gizzardgulping Giant is a city lover,’ the BFG went on. ‘The Gizzardgulper is lying high up between the roofs of houses in the big cities. He is lying there snuggy as a sniggler and watching the human beans walking on the street below, and when he sees one that looks like it has a whoppsy-good flavour, he grabs it. He is simply reaching down and snitching it off the street like a monkey taking a nut. He says it is nice to be able to pick and choose what you is having for your supper. He says it is like choosing from a menu.’

‘Don’t people see him doing it?’ Sophie asked.

‘Never is they seeing him. Do not forget it is dusky-dark at this time. Also, the Gizzardgulper has a very fast arm. His arm is going up and down quicker than squinkers.’

‘But if all these people are disappearing every night, surely there’s some sort of an outcry?’ Sophie said.

‘The world is a whopping big place,’ the BFG said. ‘It has a hundred different countries. The giants is clever. They is careful not to be skididdling off to the same country too often. They is always switchfiddling around.’

‘Even so… ‘ Sophie said.

‘Do not forget,’ the BFG said, ‘that human beans is disappearing everywhere all the time even without the giants is guzzling them up. Human beans is killing each other much quicker than the giants is doing it.’

‘But they don’t eat each other,’ Sophie said.

‘Giants isn’t eating each other either,’ the BFG said. ‘Nor is giants killing each other. Giants is not very lovely, but they is not killing each other. Nor is crockadowndillies killing other crockadowndillies. Nor is pussy-cats killing pussycats.’

‘They kill mice,’ Sophie said.

‘Ah, but they is not killing their own kind,’ the BFG said. ‘Human beans is the only animals that is killing their own kind.’

‘Don’t poisonous snakes kill each other?’ Sophie asked. She was searching desperately for another creature that behaved as badly as the human.

‘Even poisnowse snakes is never killing each other,’ the BFG said. ‘Nor is the most fearsome creatures like tigers and rhinostossterisses. None of them is ever killing their own kind. Has you ever thought about that?’

Sophie kept silent.

‘I is not understanding human beans at all,’ the BFG said. ‘You is a human bean and you is saying it is grizzling and horrigust for giants to be eating human beans. Right or left?’

‘Right,’ Sophie said.

‘But human beans is squishing each other all the time,’ the BFG said. ‘They is shootling guns and going up in aerioplanes to drop their bombs on each other’s heads every week. Human beans is always killing other human beans.’

He was right. Of course he was right and Sophie knew it. She was beginning to wonder whether humans were actually any better than giants. ‘Even so,’ she said, defending her own race, ‘I think it’s rotten that those foul giants should go off every night to eat humans. Humans have never done them any harm.’

‘That is what the little piggy-wig is saying every day’ the BFG answered. ‘He is saying, “I has never done any harm to the human bean so why should he be eating me?” ’

‘Oh dear,’ Sophie said.

‘The human beans is making rules to suit themselves,’ the BFG went on. ‘But the rules they is making do not suit the little piggy-wiggies. Am I right or left?’

‘Right,’ Sophie said.

‘Giants is also making rules. Their rules is not suiting the human beans. Everybody is making his own rules to suit himself.’

‘But you don’t like it that those beastly giants are eating humans every night, do you?’ Sophie asked.

‘I do not,’ the BFG answered firmly. ‘One right is not making two lefts. Is you quite cosy down there in my pocket?’

‘I’m fine,’ Sophie said.

Then suddenly, once again, the BFG went into that magical top gear of his. He began hurtling forward with phenomenal leaps. His speed was unbelievable. The landscape became blurred and again Sophie had to duck down out of the whistling gale to save her head from being blown off her shoulders. She crouched in the pocket and listened to the wind screaming past. It came knifing in through the tiny peep-hole in the pocket and whooshed around her like a hurricane.

But this time the BFG didn’t stay in top gear long. It seemed as though he had had some barrier to cross, a vast mountain perhaps or an ocean or a great desert, but having crossed it, he once again slowed down to his normal gallop and Sophie was able to pop her head up and look out once more at the view.

She noticed immediately that they were now in an altogether paler country. The sun had disappeared above a film of vapour. The air was becoming cooler every minute. The land was flat and treeless and there seemed to be no colour in it at all.

Every minute, the mist became thicker. The air became colder still and everything became paler and paler until soon there was nothing but grey and white all around them. They were in a country of swirling mists and ghostly vapours. There was some sort of grass underfoot but it was not green. It was ashy grey. There was no sign of a living creature and no sound at all except for the soft thud of the BFG’s footsteps as he hurtled on through the fog.

Suddenly he stopped. ‘We is here at last!’ he announced. He bent down and lifted Sophie from his pocket and put her on the ground. She was still in her nightie and her feet were bare. She shivered and stared around her at the swirling mists and ghostly vapours.

?????????? ???? ? ????. ??????? ?????????? ?????

??????? ???? ???????? ??????? 2000 ??????? ???? ? ????

‘Where are we?’ she asked.

‘We is in Dream Country,’ the BFG said. ‘This is where all dreams is beginning.’

Dream-Catching

The Big Friendly Giant put the suitcase on the ground. He bent down low so that his enormous face was close to Sophie’s. ‘From now on, we is keeping as still as winky little micies,’ he whispered.

Sophie nodded. The misty vapour swirled around her. It made her cheeks damp and left dewdrops in her hair.

The BFG opened the suitcase and took out several empty glass jars. He set them ready on the ground, with their screw tops removed. Then he stood up very straight. His head was now high up in the swirling mist and it kept disappearing, then appearing again. He was holding the long net in his right hand.

Sophie, staring upwards, saw through the mist that his colossal ears were beginning to swivel out from his head. They began waving gently to and fro.

Suddenly the BFG pounced. He leaped high in the air and swung the net through the mist with a great swishing sweep of his arm. ‘Got him!’ he cried. ‘Ajar! Ajar! Quick quick quick!’ Sophie picked up a jar and held it up to him. He grabbed hold of it. He lowered the net. Very carefully he tipped something absolutely invisible from the net into the jar. He dropped the net and swiftly clapped one hand over the jar. ‘The top!’ he whispered. ‘The jar top quick!’ Sophie picked up the screw top and handed it to him. He screwed it on tight and the jar was closed. The BFG was very excited. He held the jar close to one ear and listened intently.

‘It’s a winksquiffler!’ he whispered with a thrill in his voice. ‘It’s… it’s… it’s… it’s even better. It’s a phizzwizard! It’s a golden phizzwizard!’

Sophie stared at him.

‘Oh my, oh my!’ he said, holding the jar in front of him. ‘This will be giving some little tottler a very happy night when I is blowing it in!’

‘Is it really a good one?’ Sophie asked.

‘ A good one?’ he cried. ‘It’s a golden phizzwizard! It is not often I is getting one of these!’ He handed the jar to Sophie and said, ‘Please be still as a starfish now. I is thinking there may be a whole swarm of phizzwizards up here today. And do kindly stop breathing. You is terribly noisy down there.’

‘I haven’t moved a muscle,’ Sophie said.

‘Then don’t,’ the BFG answered sharply. Once again he stood up tall in the mist, holding his net at the ready. Then came the long silence, the waiting, the listening, and at last, with surprising suddenness came the leap and the swish of the net.

‘Another jar!’ he cried. ‘Quick quick quick!’

When the second dream was safely in the jar and the top was screwed down, the BFG held it to his ear.

‘Oh no!’ he cried. ‘Oh mince my maggots! Oh swipe my swoggles!’

‘What’s the matter?’ Sophie asked.

‘It’s a trogglehumper!’ he shouted. His voice was filled with fury and anguish. ‘Oh, save our solos!’ he cried. ‘Deliver us from weasels! The devil is dancing on my dibbler!’

The BFG

‘What are you talking about?’ Sophie said. The BFG was getting more distressed every moment.

‘Oh, bash my eyebones!’ he cried, waving the jar in the air. ‘I come all this way to get lovely golden dreams and what is I catching?’

‘What are you catching?’ Sophie said.

‘I is catching a frightsome trogglehumper!’ he cried. ‘This is a bad bad dream! It is worse than a bad dream! It is a nightmare!’

‘Oh dear,’ Sophie said. ‘What will you do with that?’

‘I is never never letting it go!’ the BFG cried. ‘If I do, then some poor little totder will be having the most curdbloodling time! This one is a real kicksy bog-thumper! I is exploding it as soon as I get home!’

‘Nightmares are horrible,’ Sophie said. ‘I had one once and I woke up sweating all over.’

‘With this one you would be waking up screaming all over!’ the BFG said. ‘This one would make your teeth stand on end! If this one got into you, your blood would be freezing to icicles and your skin would go creeping across the floor!’

‘Is it as bad as that?’

‘It’s worse!’ cried the BFG. ‘This is a real whoppsy grobswitcher!’

‘You said it was a trogglehumper,’ Sophie told him.

‘It is a trogglehumper!’ cried the exasperated BFG. ‘But it is also a bogthumper and a grobswitcher! It is all three riddled into one! Oh, I is so glad I is clutching it tight. Ah, you wicked beastie, you!’ he cried, holding up the jar and staring into it. ‘Never more is you going to be bunkdoodling the poor little human-beaney totders!’

Sophie, who was also staring into the glass jar, cried out, ‘I can see it! There’s something in there!’

‘Of course there is something in there,’ the BFG said. ‘You is looking at a frightsome trogglehumper.’

‘But you told me dreams were invisible.’

‘They is always invisible until they is captured,’ the BFG told her. ‘After that they is losing a little of their invisibility. We is seeing this one very clearly.’

Inside the jar Sophie could see the faint scarlet outline of something that looked like a mixture between a blob of gas and a bubble of jelly. It was moving violently, thrashing against the sides of the jar and forever changing shape.

The BFG

‘It’s wiggling all over the place!’ Sophie cried. ‘It’s fighting to get out! It’ll bash itself to bits!’

‘The nastier the dream, the angrier it is getting when it is in prison,’ the BFG said. ‘It is the same as with wild animals. If an animal is very fierce and you is putting it in a cage, it will make a tremendous rumpledumpus. If it is a nice animal like a cockatootloo or a foggle-frump, it will sit quietly. Dreams is exactly the same. This one is a nasty fierce bogrotting nightmare. Just look at him splashing himself against the glass!’

‘It’s quite frightening!’ Sophie cried.

‘I would be hating to get this one inside me on a darksome night,’ the BFG said.

‘So would I!’ Sophie said.

The BFG started putting the bottles back into the suitcase.

‘Is that all?’ Sophie asked. ‘Are we going?’

‘I is so upset by this trogglehumping bogthumping grobswitcher,’ the BFG said, ‘that I is not wishing to go on. Dream-catching is finished for today.’

Soon Sophie was back in the waistcoat pocket and the BFG was racing home as fast as he could go. When, at last, they emerged out of the mist and came again on to the hot yellow wasteland, all the other giants were sprawled out on the ground, fast asleep.

A Trogglehumper for

the Fleshlumpeater

‘They is always having fifty winks before they goes scumpering off to hunt human beans in the evening,’ the BFG said. He stopped for a few moments to let Sophie have a better look. ‘Giants is only sleeping every then and now,’ he said. ‘Not nearly as much as human beans. Human beans is crazy for sleeping. Is it ever occurring to you that a human bean who is fifty is spending about twenty years sleeping fast?’

‘I must admit that never occurred to me,’ Sophie said.

‘You should allow it to occur to you,’ the BFG said. ‘Imagine it please. This human bean who says he is fifty has been fast asleep for twenty years and is not even knowing where he is! Not even doing anything! Not even thinking!’

‘It’s a funny thought,’ Sophie said.

‘Exunckly,’ the BFG said. ‘So what I is trying to explain to you is that a human bean who says he is fifty is not fifty, he is only thirty.’

‘What about me?’ Sophie said. ‘I am eight.’

‘You is not eight at all,’ the BFG said. ‘Human bean babies and little chiddlers is spending half their time sleeping, so you is only four.’

‘I’m eight,’ Sophie said.

‘You may think you is eight,’ the BFG said, ‘but you has only spent four years of your life with your little eyes open. You is only four and please stop higgling me. Titchy little snapperwhippers like you should not be higgling around with an old sage and onions who is hundreds of years more than you.’

‘How much do giants sleep?’ Sophie asked.

‘They is never wasting much time snozzling,’ the BFG said. ‘Two or three hours is enough.’

‘When do you sleep?’ Sophie asked.

‘Even less,’ the BFG answered. ‘I is sleeping only once in a blue baboon.’

Sophie, peeping out from her pocket, examined the nine sleeping giants. They looked even more grotesque now than when they were awake. Sprawled out across the yellow plain, they covered an area about the size of a football field. Most of them were lying on their backs with their enormous mouths wide open, and they were snoring like foghorns. The noise was awful.

Suddenly the BFG gave a jump in the air. ‘By gumfrog!’ he cried. ‘I is just having the most whoppsy-whiffling idea!’

‘What?’ Sophie said.

‘Wait!’ he cried. ‘Hold your horsefeathers! Keep your skirt on! Just you wait to see what I is going to bring about!’ He galloped off fast to his cave with Sophie hanging on tight to the rim of the pocket. He rolled back the stone. He entered the cave. He was very excited. He was moving quickly. ‘You stay where you is in my pocket, huggybee,’ he said. ‘We is doing this lovely bit of buckswashling both together.’ He laid aside the dream-catching net but hung on to the suitcase. He ran across to the other side of the cave and grabbed the long trumpet thing, the one he had been carrying when Sophie had first seen him in the village. With the suitcase in one hand and the trumpet in the other, he dashed out of the cave.

What is he up to now? Sophie wondered.

‘Peep your head up good,’ the BFG said, ‘then you will get a fine winkle of what is going on.’

When the BFG came near to the sleeping giants, he slowed his pace. He began moving softly. He crept on his toes towards the ugly brutes. They were still snoring loudly. They looked repulsive, filthy, diabolical. The BFG tip-toed around them. He went past the Gizzardgulper, the Bloodbottler, the Meatdripper, the Childchewer. Then he stopped. He had reached the Fleshlumpeater. He pointed at him, then he looked down at Sophie and gave her a big wink.

He knelt on the ground and very quietly he opened the suitcase. He took out of it the glass jar containing the terrible nightmarish trogglehumper.

At that point, Sophie guessed what was going to happen next.

Owch, she thought. This could be rather dangerous. She crouched lower in the pocket so that only the top of her head and her eyes were showing. She wanted to be ready to duck out of sight very fast should anything go wrong.

They were about ten feet away from the Fleshlumpeater’s face. The snoring-snorting noise he was making was disgusting. Every now and again a big bubble of spit formed between his two open lips and men it would burst with a splash and cover his face with saliva.

Taking infinite care, the BFG unscrewed the top of the glass jar and tipped the squiggling squirming faintly scarlet trogglehumper into the wide end of his long trumpet. He put the other end of the trumpet to his lips. He aimed the instrument directly at the Fleshlumpeater’s face. He took a deep breath, puffed out his cheeks and then whoof! He blew!

Sophie saw a flash of pale red go darting towards the giant’s face. For a split second it hovered above the face. Then it was gone. It seemed to have been sucked up the giant’s nose, but it had all happened so quickly, Sophie couldn’t be sure.

‘We had better be skiddling away quick to where it is safe,’ the BFG whispered. He trotted off for about a hundred yards, then he stopped. He crouched low to the earth. ‘Now,’ he said, ‘we is waiting for the gun and flames to begin.’

The BFG

They didn’t have long to wait.

The air was suddenly pierced by the most fearful roar Sophie had ever heard, and she saw the Fleshlumpeater’s body, all fifty-four feet of it, rise up off the ground and fall back again with a thump. Then it began to wriggle and twist and bounce about in the most violent fashion. It was quite frightening to watch.

‘Eeeow!’ roared the Fleshlumpeater. ‘Ayeee! Oooow!’

‘He’s still asleep,’ the BFG whispered. ‘The terrible trogglehumping nightmare is beginning to hit him.’

‘Serves him right,’ Sophie said. She could feel no sympathy for this great brute who ate children as though they were sugar-lumps.

The BFG

‘Save us!’ screamed the Fleshlumpeater, thrashing about madly. ‘He is after me! He is getting me!’

The thrashing of limbs and the waving of arms became more violent by the second. It was an awesome thing to watch such a massive creature having such mighty convulsions.

‘It’s Jack!’ bellowed the Fleshlumpeater. ‘It’s the grueful gruncious Jack! Jack is after me! Jack is wack-crackling me! Jack is spikesticking me! Jack is splash-plunking me! It is the terrible frightswipingjack!’ The Fleshlumpeater was writhing about over the ground like some colossal tortured snake. ‘Oh, spare me, Jack!’ he yelled. ‘Don’t hurt me, Jack!’

‘Who is this Jack he’s on about?’ Sophie whispered.

‘Jack is the only human bean all giants is frightened of,’ the BFG told her. ‘They is all absolutely terrified of Jack. They is all hearing that Jack is a famous giant-killer.’

‘Save me!’ screamed the Fleshlumpeater. ‘Have mercy on this poor little giant! The beanstalk! He is coming at me with his terrible spikesticking beanstalk! Take it away! I is begging you, Jack, I is praying you not to touch me with your terrible spikesticking beanstalk!’

‘Us giants,’ the BFG whispered, ‘is not knowing very much about this dreaded human bean called Jack. We is knowing only that he is a famous giant-killer and that he is owning something called a beanstalk. We is knowing also that the beanstalk is a fearsome thing and Jack is using it to kill giants.’

Sophie couldn’t stop smiling.

‘What is you griggling at?’ the BFG asked her, slightly nettled.

‘I’ll tell youk later,’ Sophie said.

The BFG

The BFG

The awful nightmare had now gripped the great brute to such an extent that he was tying his whole body into knots. ‘Do not do it, Jack!’ he screeched. ‘I was not eating you, Jack! I is never eating human beans! I swear I has never gobbled a single human bean in all my wholesome life!’

‘Liar,’ said the BFG.

Just then, one of the Fleshlumpeater’s flailing fists caught the still-fast-asleep Meatdripping Giant smack in the mouth. At the same time, one of his furiously thrashing legs kicked the snoring Gizzardgulping Giant right in the guts. Both the injured giants woke up and leaped to their feet.

‘He is swiping me right in the mouth!’ yelled the Meatdripper.

‘He is bungswoggling me smack in the guts!’ shouted the Gizzardgulper.

The two of them rushed at the Fleshlumpeater and began pounding him with their fists and feet. The wretched Fleshlumpeater woke up with a bang. He awoke straight from one nightmare into another. He roared into battle, and in the bellowing thumping rough and tumble that followed, one sleeping giant after another either got stepped upon or kicked. Soon, all nine of them were on their feet having the most almighty free-for-all. They punched and kicked and scratched and bit and butted each other as hard as they could. Blood flowed. Noses went crunch. Teeth fell out like hailstones. The giants roared and screamed and cursed, and for many minutes the noise of battle rolled across the yellow plain.

The BFG smiled a big wide smile of absolute pleasure. ‘I is loving it when they is all having a good tough and rumble,’ he said.

‘They’ll kill each other,’ Sophie said.

‘Never,’ the BFG answered. ‘Those beasts is always bishing and walloping at one another. Soon it will be getting dusky and they will be galloping off to fill their tummies.’

‘They’re coarse and foul and filthy,’ Sophie said. ‘I hate them!’

As the BFG headed back to the cave, he said quietly, ‘We certainly was putting that nightmare to good use though, wasn’t we?’

‘Excellent use,’ Sophie said. ‘Well done you.’

Dreams

The Big Friendly Giant was seated at the great table in his cave and he was doing his homework.

Sophie sat cross-legged on the table-top near by, watching him at work.

The glass jar containing the one and only good dream they had caught that day stood between them.

The BFG, with great care and patience, was printing something on a piece of paper with an enormous pencil.

‘What are you writing?’ Sophie asked him.

‘Every dream is having its special label on the bottle,’ the BFG said. ‘How else could I be finding the one I am wanting in a hurry?’

‘But can you really and truly tell what sort of a dream it’s going to be simply by listening to it?’ Sophie asked.

‘I can,’ the BFG said, not looking up.

‘But how? Is it by the way it hums and buzzes?’

‘You is less or more right,’ the BFG said. ‘Every dream in the world is making a different sort of buzzy-hum music. And these grand swashboggling ears of mine is able to read that music.’

‘By music, do you mean tunes?’

‘I is not meaning tunes.’

‘Then what do you mean?’

‘Human beans is having their own music, right or left?’

‘Right,’ Sophie said. ‘Lots of music.’

The BFG

‘And sometimes human beans is very overcome when they is hearing wonderous music. They is getting shivers down their spindels. Right or left?’

‘Right,’ Sophie said.

‘So the music is saying something to them. It is sending a message. I do not think the human beans is knowing what that message is, but they is loving it just the same.’

‘That’s about right,’ Sophie said.

‘But because of these jumpsquiffling ears of mine,’ the BFG said, ‘I is not only able to hear the music that dreams is making but I is understanding it also.’

‘What do you mean understanding it?’ Sophie said.

‘I can read it,’ the BFG said. ‘It talks to me. It is like a langwitch.’

‘I find that just a little hard to believe,’ Sophie said.

‘I’ll bet you is also finding it hard to believe in quogwinkles,’ the BFG said, ‘and how they is visiting us from the stars.’

‘Of course I don’t believe that,’ Sophie said.

The BFG regarded her gravely with those huge eyes of his. ‘I hope you will forgive me,’ he said, ‘if I tell you that human beans is thinking they is very clever, but they is not. They is nearly all of them notmuchers and squeakpips.’

‘I beg your pardon,’ Sophie said.

‘The matter with human beans,’ the BFG went on, ‘is that they is absolutely refusing to believe in anything unless they is actually seeing it right in front of their own schnozzles. Of course quogwinkles is existing. I is meeting them oftenly. I is even chittering to them.’ He turned away contemptuously from Sophie and resumed his writing. Sophie moved over to read what he had written so far. The letters were printed big and bold, but were not very well formed. Here is what it said:

THIS DREAM IS ABOUT HOW I IS SAVING MY TEECHER FROM DROWNING. I IS DIVING INTO THE RIVER FROM A HIGH BRIDGE AND I IS DRAGGING MY TEECHER TO THE BANK AND THEN I IS GIVING HIM THE KISS OF DEATH…

The BFG

‘The kiss of what?’ Sophie asked.

The BFG stopped writing and raised his head slowly. His eyes rested on Sophie’s face. ‘I is telling you once before,’ he said quietly, ‘that I is never having a chance to go to school. I is full of mistakes. They is not my fault. I do my best. You is a lovely little girl, but please remember that you is not exactly Miss Knoweverything yourself.’

‘I’m sorry’ Sophie said. ‘I really am. It is very rude of me to keep correcting you.’

The BFG gazed at her for a while longer, then he bent his head again to his slow laborious writing.

‘Tell me honestly,’ Sophie said. ‘If you blew this dream into my bedroom when I was asleep, would I really and truly start dreaming about how I saved my teacher from drowning by diving off the bridge?’

‘More,’ the BFG said. ‘A lot more. But I cannot be squibbling the whole gropefluncking dream on a titchy bit of paper. Of course there is more.’

The BFG laid down his pencil and placed one massive ear close to the jar. For about thirty seconds he listened intently. ‘Yes,’ he said, nodding his great head solemnly up and down. ‘This dream is continuing very nice. It has a very dory-hunky ending.’

‘How does it end?’ Sophie said. ‘Please tell me.’

‘You would be dreaming,’ the BFG said, ‘that the morning after you is saving the teacher from the river, you is arriving at school and you is seeing all the five hundred pupils sitting in the assembly hall, and all the teachers as well, and the head teacher is then standing up and saying, “I is wanting the whole school to give three cheers for Sophie because she is so brave and is saving the life of our fine arithmatic teacher, Mr Figgins, who was unfortunately pushed off the bridge into the river by our gym-teacher, Miss Amelia Upscotch. So three cheers for Sophie!” And the whole school is then cheering like mad and shouting bravo well done, and, for ever after that, even when you is getting your sums all gungswizzled and muggled up, Mr Figgins is always giving you ten out of ten and writing Good Work Sophie in your exercise book. Then you is waking up.’

‘I like that dream,’ Sophie said.

‘Of course you like it,’ the BFG said. ‘It is a phizzwizard.’ He licked the back of the label and stuck it on the jar. ‘I is usually writing a bit more than this on the labels,’ he said. ‘But you is watching me and making me jumpsy.’

‘I’ll go and sit somewhere else,’ Sophie said.

‘Don’t go,’ he said. ‘Look in the jar carefully and I think you will be seeing this dream.’

Sophie peered into the jar and there, sure enough, she saw the faint translucent outline of something about the size of a hen’s egg. There was just a touch of colour in it, a pale sea-green, soft and shimmering and very beautiful. There it lay, this small oblong sea-green jellyish thing, at the bottom of the jar, quite peaceful, but pulsing gendy, the whole of it moving in and out ever so slightly, as though it were breathing.

‘It’s moving!’ Sophie cried. ‘It’s alive!’

‘Of course it’s alive.’

‘What will you feed it on?’ Sophie asked.

‘It is not needing any food,’ the BFG told her.

‘That’s cruel,’ Sophie said. ‘Everything alive needs food of some sort. Even trees and plants.’

‘The north wind is alive,’ the BFG said. ‘It is moving. It touches you on the cheek and on the hands. But nobody is feeding it.’

Sophie was silent. This extraordinary giant was disturbing her ideas. He seemed to be leading her towards mysteries that were beyond her understanding.

‘A dream is not needing anything,’ the BFG went on. ‘If it is a good one, it is waiting peaceably for ever until it is released and allowed to do its job. If it is a bad one, it is always fighting to get out.’

The BFG stood up and walked over to one of the many shelves and placed the latest jar among the thousands of others.

‘Please can I see some of the other dreams?’ Sophie asked him.

The BFG hesitated. ‘Nobody is ever seeing them before,’ he said. ‘But perhaps after all I is letting you have a little peep.’ He picked her up off the table and stood her on the palm of one of his huge hands. He carried her towards the shelves. ‘Over here is some of the good dreams,’ he said. ‘The phizzwizards.’

‘Would you hold me closer so I can read the labels,’ Sophie said.

‘My labels is only telling bits of it,’ the BFG said. ‘The dreams is usually much longer. The labels is just to remind me.’

Sophie started to read the labels. The first one seemed long enough to her. It went right round the jar, and as she read it, she had to keep turning the jar. This is what it said:

TODAY I IS SITTING IN CLASS AND I DISCOVER THAT IF I IS STARING VERY HARD AT MY TEECHER IN A SPHESHAL WAY, I IS ABLE TO PUT HER TO SLEEP. SO I KEEP STARING AT HER AND IN THE END HER HEAD DROPS ON TO HER DESK AND SHE GOES FAST TO SLEEP AND SNORKLES LOUDLY. THEN IN MARCHES THE HEAD TEECHER AND HE SHOUTS ‘WAKE UP MISS PLUMRIDGE! HOW DARE YOU GO TO SLEEP IN CLASS! GO FETCH YOUR HAT AND COTE AND LEAVE THIS SCHOOL FOR EVER! YOU IS SACKED!’ BUT IN A JIFFY I IS PUTTING THE HEAD TEECHER TO SLEEP AS WELL, AND HE JUST CRUMPLES SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR LIKE A LUMP OF JELLY AND THERE HE LIES ALL IN A HEAP AND STARTS SNORKELLING EVEN LOWDER THAN MISS PLUMRIDGE. AND THEN I IS HEARING MY MUMMY’S VOICE SAYING WAKE UP YOUR BREKFUST IS REDDY.

The BFG

‘What a funny dream,’ Sophie said.

‘It’s a ringbeller,’ the BFG said. ‘It’s whoppsy.’

Inside the jar, just below the edge of the label, Sophie could see the putting-to-sleep dream lying peacefully on the bottom, pulsing gently, sea-green like the other one, but perhaps a trifle larger.

‘Do you have separate dreams for boys and for girls?’ Sophie asked.

‘Of course,’ the BFG said. ‘If I is giving a girl’s dream to a boy, even if it was a really whoppsy girl’s dream, the boy would be waking up and thinking what a rotbungling grinksludging old dream that was.’

‘Boys would,’ Sophie said.

‘These here is all girls’ dreams on this shelf,’ the BFG said.

‘Can I read a boy’s dream?’

‘You can,’ the BFG said, and he lifted her to a higher shelf. The label on the nearest boy’s-dream jar read as follows:

The BFG

I IS MAKING MYSELF A MARVELUS PAIR OF SUCTION BOOTS AND WHEN I PUT THEM ON I IS ABEL TO WALK STRATE UP THE KITSHUN WALL AND ACROSS THE CEILING., WELL, I IS WALKING UPSIDE DOWN ON THE CEILING WEN MY BIG SISTER COMES IN AND SHE IS STARTING TO YELL AT ME AS SHE ALWAYS DOES, YELLING WOT ON EARTH IS YOU DOING UP THERE WALKING ON THE CEILING AND I LOOKS DOWN AT HER AND I SMILES AND I SAYS I TOLD YOU YOU WAS DRIVING ME UP THE WALL AND NOW YOU HAS DONE IT.

‘I find that one rather silly,’ Sophie said.

‘Boys wouldn’t,’ the BFG said, grinning. ‘It’s another ringbeller. Perhaps you has seen enough now.’

‘Let me read another boy’s one,’ Sophie said.

The next label said:

THE TELLYFONE RINGS IN OUR HOUSE AND MY FATHER PICKS IT UP AND SAYS IN HIS VERY IMPORTANT TELLYFONE VOICE ‘SIMPKINS SPEAKING’. THEN HIS FACE GOES WHITE AND HIS VOICE GOES ALL FUNNY AND HE SAYS ‘WHAT! WHO?’ AND THEN HE SAYS ‘YES SIR I UNDERSTAND SIR BUT SURELY IT IS ME YOU IS WISHING TO SPEKE TO SIR NOT MY LITTLE SON?’ MY FATHER’S FACE IS GOING FROM WHITE TO DARK PURPEL AND HE IS GULPING LIKE HE HAS A LOBSTER STUCK IN HIS THROTE AND THEN AT LAST HE IS SAYING ‘YES SIR VERY WELL SIR I WILL GET HIM SIR’ AND HE TURNS TO ME AND HE SAYS IN A RATHER RESPECK-FUL VOICE ‘IS YOU KNOWING THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?’ AND I SAYS ‘NO BUT I EXPECT HE IS HEARING ABOUT ME.’ THEN I IS HAVING A LONG TALK ON THE FONE AND SAYING THINGS LIKE ‘LET ME TAKE CARE OF IT, MR PRESIDENT. YOU’LL BUNGLE IT ALL UP IF YOU DO IT YOUR WAY’. AND MY FATHER’S EYES IS GOGGLING RIGHT OUT OF HIS HEAD AND THAT IS WHEN I IS HEARING MY FATHER’S REAL VOICE SAYING GET UP YOU LAZY SLOB OR YOU WILL BE LATE FOR SKOOL.

The BFG

‘Boys are crazy,’ Sophie said. ‘Let me read this next one.’ Sophie started reading the next label:

I IS HAVING A BATH AND I IS DISCOVERING THAT IF I PRESS QUITE HARD ON MY TUMMY BUTTON A FUNNY FEELING COMES OVER ME AND SUDDENLEY MY LEGS IS NOT THERE NOR IS MY ARMS. IN FACT I HAS BECOME ABSOLOOTLY INVISIBLE ALL OVER. I IS STILL THERE BUT NO ONE CAN SEE ME NOT EVEN MYSELF. SO MY MUMMY COMES IN AND SAYS ‘WHERE IS THAT CHILD! HE WAS IN THE BATH A MINIT AGO AND HE CAN’T POSSIBLY HAVE WASHED HIMSELF PROPERLY!’ SO I SAYS ‘HERE I IS’ AND SHE SAYS ‘WHERE?’ AND I SAYS ‘HERE’ AND SHE SAYS ‘WHERE?’ AND I SAYS ‘HERE!’ AND SHE YELLS ‘HENRY! COME UP QUICK!’ AND WHEN MY DADDY RUSHES IN I IS WASHING MYSELF AND MY DADDY SEES THE SOAP FLOATING AROUND IN THE AIR BUT OF CORSE HE IS NOT SEEING ME AND HE SHOUTS ‘WHERE ARE YOU BOY?’ AND I SAYS ‘HERE’ AND HE SAYS ‘WHERE?’ AND I SAYS ‘HERE’ AND HE SAYS ‘WHERE?’ AND I SAYS ‘HERE!’ AND HE SAYS ‘THE SOAP, BOY! THE SOAP! IT’S FLYING IN THE AIR!’ THEN I PRESS MY TUMMY BUTTOXN AGAIN AND NOW I IS VISIBLE. MY DADDY IS SQUIFFY WITH EXCITEMENT AND HE SAYS ‘YOU IS THE INVISIBLE BOY!’ AND I SAYS ‘NOW I IS GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN,’ SO WHEN I IS OUT OF THE BATH AND I HAVE DRIED MYSELF I PUT ON MY DRESSING-GOWN AND SLIPPERS AND I PRESS MY TUMMY BUTTON AGAIN TO BECOME INVISIBLE AND I GO DOWN INTO THE TOWN AND WALK IN THE STREETS. OF CORSE ONLY ME IS INVISIBLE BUT NOT THE THINGS I IS WEARING SO WHEN PEEPLE IS SEEING A DRESSING-GOWN AND SLIPPERS FLOATING ALONG THE STREET WITH NOBODY IN IT THERE IS A PANIC WITH EVERYBODY YELLING ‘A GHOST! A GHOST!’ AND PEEPLE IS SCREAMING LEFT AND RIGHT AND BIG STRONG POLICEMEN IS RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES AND BEST OF ALL I SEE MR GRUMMIT MY ALGEBRA TEECHER COMING OUT OF A PUB AND I FLOAT UP TO HIM AND SAY ‘BOO!’ AND HE LETS OUT A FRIGHTSOME HOWL AND DASHES BACK INTO THE PUB AND THEN I IS WAKING UP AND FEELING HAPPY AS A WHIFFSQUIDDLER.

The BFG

‘Pretty ridiculous,’ Sophie said. All the same, she couldn’t resist reaching down and pressing her own tummy button to see if it worked. Nothing happened.

‘Dreams is very mystical things,’ the BFG said. ‘Human beans is not understanding them at all. Not even their brainiest prossefors is understanding them. Has you seen enough?’

‘Just this last one,’ Sophie said. ‘This one here.’

She started reading:

I HAS RITTEN A BOOK AND IT IS SO EXCITING NOBODY CAN PUT IT DOWN. AS SOON AS YOU HAS RED THE FIRST LINE YOU IS SO HOOKED ON IT YOU CANNOT STOP UNTIL THE LAST PAGE. IN ALL THE CITIES PEEPLE IS WALKING IN THE STREETS BUMPING INTO EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEIR FACES IS BURIED IN MY BOOK AND DENTISTS IS READING IT AND TRYING TO FILL TEETHS AT THE SAME TIME BUT NOBODY MINDS BECAUSE THEY IS ALL READING IT TOO IN THE DENTIST’S CHAIR. DRIVERS IS READING IT WHILE DRIVING AND CARS IS CRASHING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. BRAIN SURGEONS IS READING IT WHILE THEY IS OPERATING ON BRAINS AND AIRLINE PILOTS IS READING IT AND GOING TO TIMBUCTOO INSTEAD OF LONDON. FOOTBALL PLAYERS IS READING IT ON THE FIELD BECAUSE THEY CAN’T PUT IT DOWN AND SO IS OLIMPICK RUNNERS WHILE THEY IS RUNNING. EVERYBODY HAS TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT IN MY BOOK AND WHEN I WAKE UP I IS STILL TINGLING WITH EXCITEMENT AT BEING THE GREATEST RITER THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN UNTIL MY MUMMY COMES IN AND SAYS I WAS LOOKING AT YOUR ENGLISH EXERCISE BOOK LAST NITE AND REALLY YOUR SPELLING IS ATROSHUS SO IS YOUR PUNTULASHON.

The BFG

‘That’s enough for now,’ the BFG said. ‘There is diluons more but my arm is getting tired holding you up.’

‘What are all those over there?’ Sophie said. ‘Why have they got such tiny labels?’

‘That,’ the BFG said, ‘is because one day I is catching so many dreams I is not having the time or energy to write out long labels. But there is enough to remind me.’

‘Can I look?’ Sophie said.

The long-suffering BFG carried her across to the jars she was pointing to. Sophie read them rapidly, one after the other:

I IS CLIMBING MOUNT EVERAST WITH JUST MY PUSSY-CAT FOR CUMPANY.

The BFG

I IS INVENTING A CAR THAT RUNS ON TOOTHPASTE.

The BFG

I IS ABLE TO MAKE THE ELEKTRIK LITES GO ON AND OFF JUST BY WISHING IT.

The BFG

I IS ONLY AN EIGHT YEAR OLD LITTLE BOY BUT I IS GROWING A SPLENDID BUSHY BEARD AND ALL THE OTHER BOYS IS JALOUS.

The BFG

I IS ABEL TO JUMP OUT OF ANY HIGH WINDOW AND FLOTE DOWN SAFELY.

The BFG

I HAS A PET BEE THAT MAKES ROCK AND ROLL MUSIK WHEN IT FLIES.

The BFG

‘What amazes me,’ Sophie said, ‘is how you ever learned to write in the first place.’

‘Ah,’ said the BFG. ‘I has been wondering how long it is before you is asking me that.’

‘Considering you never went to school, I think it’s quite marvellous,’ Sophie said. ‘How did you learn?’

The BFG crossed the cave and opened a tiny secret door in the wall. He took out a book, very old and tattered. By human standards, it was an ordinary sized book, but it looked like a postage stamp in his huge hand.

‘One night,’ he said, ‘I is blowing a dream through a window and I sees this book lying on the little boy’s bedroom table. I wanted it so very badly, you understand. But I is refusing to steal it. I would never do that.’

‘So how did you get it?’ Sophie asked.

‘I borrowed it,’ the BFG said, smiling a little. ‘Just for a short time I borrowed it.’

‘How long have you had it?’ Sophie asked.

The BFG

‘Perhaps only about eighty years,’ the BFG said. ‘Soon I shall be putting it back.’

‘And that’s how you taught yourself to write?’ Sophie asked him.

‘I is reading it hundreds of times,’ the BFG said. ‘And I is still reading it and teaching new words to myself and how to write them. It is the most scrum-diddlyumptious story.’

Sophie took the book out of his hand. ‘Nicholas Nickleby,’ she read aloud.

‘By Dahl’s Chickens,’ the BFG said.

‘By who?’ Sophie said.

Just then, there came a tremendous noise of galloping feet from outside the cave. ‘What’s that?’ Sophie cried.

‘That is all the giants zippfizzing off to another country to guzzle human beans,’ the BFG said. He quickly popped Sophie into his waistcoat pocket, then hurried to the cave entrance and rolled back the stone.

Sophie, peeping out of her spy-hole, saw all nine of the fearsome giants coming past at full gallop.

‘Where is you off to tonight?’ shouted the BFG.

‘We is all of us flushbunking off to England tonight,’ answered the Fleshlumpeater as they went galloping past. ‘England is a luctuous land and we is fancying a few nice little English chiddlers.’

‘I,’ shouted the Maidmasher, ‘is knowing where there is a gigglehouse for girls and I is guzzling myself full as a frothblower!’

‘And I knows where there is a bogglebox for boys!’ shouted the Gizzardgulper. ‘All I has to do is reach in and grab myself a handful! English boys is tasting extra lickswishy!’

In a few seconds, the nine galloping giants were out of sight.

‘What did he mean?’ Sophie said, poking her head out of the pocket. ‘What is a gigglehouse for girls?’

‘He is meaning a girls’ school,’ the BFG said. ‘He will be eating them by the bundle.’

‘Oh no!’ cried Sophie.

‘And boys from a boys’ school,’ said the BFG.

‘It mustn’t happen!’ Sophie cried out. ‘We’ve got to stop them! We can’t just sit here and do nothing!’

‘There’s not a thing we can do,’ the BFG said. ‘We is helpless as horsefeathers.’ He sat down on a large craggy blue rock near the entrance to his cave. He took Sophie from his pocket and put her beside him on the rock. ‘It is now quite safe for you to be outside until they is coming back,’ he said.

The sun had dipped below the horizon and it was getting dark.

The Great Plan

‘We’ve absolutely got to stop them!’ Sophie cried. ‘Put me back in your pocket quick and we’ll chase after them and warn everyone in England they’re coming.’

‘Redunculus and um-possiple,’ the BFG said. ‘They is going two times as fast as me and they is finishing their guzzle before we is halfway.’

‘But we can’t just sit here doing nothing!’ Sophie cried. ‘How many girls and boys are they going to eat tonight?’

‘Many’ the BFG said. ‘The Fleshlumpeating Giant alone has a most squadding whoppsy appetite.’

‘Will he snatch them out of their beds while they’re sleeping?’

‘Like peas out of a poddle,’ the BFG said.

‘I can’t bear to think of it!’ Sophie cried.

‘Then don’t,’ the BFG said. ‘For years and years I is sitting here on this very rock every night after night when they is galloping away, and I is feeling so sad for all the human beans they is going to gobble up. But I has had to get used to it. There is nothing I can do. If I wasn’t a titchy little runty giant only twenty-four feet high then I would be stopping them. But that is absolutely out of the window.’

‘Do you always know where they’re going?’ Sophie asked.

‘Always,’ the BFG said. ‘Every night they is yelling at me as they go booding past. The other day they was yelling “We is off to Mrs Sippi and Miss Souri to guzzle them both!”’

‘Disgusting,’ Sophie said. ‘I hate them.’

She and the Big Friendly Giant sat quietly side by side on the blue rock in the gathering dusk. Sophie had never felt so helpless in her life. After a while, she stood up and cried out, ‘I can’t stand it! Just think of those poor girls and boys who are going to be eaten alive in a few hours’ time! We can’t just sit here and do nothing! We’ve got to go after those brutes!’

‘No,’ the BFG said.

‘We must!’ Sophie cried. ‘Why won’t you go?’

The BFG sighed and shook his head firmly. ‘I has told you five or six times,’ he said, ‘and the third will be the last. I is never showing myself to human beans.’

‘Why ever not?’

‘If I do, they will be putting me in the zoo with all the jiggyraffes and cattypiddlers.’

‘Nonsense,’ Sophie said.

‘And they will be sending you straight back to a norphanage,’ the BFG went on. ‘Grown-up human beans is not famous for their kindnesses. They is all squifflerotters and grinksludgers.’

‘That simply isn’t true!’ Sophie cried angrily. ‘Some of them are very kind indeed.’

‘Who?’ the BFG said. ‘Name one.’

‘The Queen of England,’ Sophie said. ‘You can’t call her a squifflerotter or a grinksludger.’

‘Well…’ the BFG said.

‘You can’t call her a squeakpip or a notmucher either,’ Sophie said, getting angrier and angrier.

‘The Fleshlumpeater is longing dearly to guzzle her up,’ the BFG said, smiling a little now.

The BFG

‘Who, the Queen?’ Sophie cried, aghast.

‘Yes,’ the BFG answered. ‘Fleshlumpeater says he is never eating a queen and he thinks perhaps she has an especially scrumdiddlyumptious flavour.’

‘How dare he!’ Sophie cried.

‘But Fleshlumpeater says there is too many soldiers around her Palace and he dursent try it.’

‘He’d better not!’ Sophie said.

‘He is also saying he would like very much to guzzle one of the soldiers in his pretty red suit but he is worried about those big black furry hats they is wearing. He thinks they might be sticking in his diroat.’

‘I hope he chokes,’ Sophie said.

‘Fleshlumpeater is a very careful giant,’ the BFG said.

Sophie was silent for a few moments. Then suddenly, in a voice filled with excitement, she cried out, ‘I’ve got it! By golly, I think I’ve got it!’

‘Got what?’ asked the BFG.

‘The answer!’ cried Sophie. ‘We’ll go to the Queen! It’s a terrific idea! If I went and told the Queen about those disgusting man-eating giants, I’m sure she’d do something about it!’

The BFG looked down at her sadly and shook his head. ‘She is never believing you,’ he said. ‘Never in a month of Mondays.’

‘I think she would.’

‘Never,’ the BFG said. ‘It is sounding such a wonky tall story, the Queen will be laughing and saying “What awful rubbsquash!” ’

‘She would not!’

‘Of course she would,’ the BFG said. ‘I has told you before that human beans is simply not believing in giants.’

‘Then it’s up to us to find a way of making her believe in them,’ Sophie said.

‘And how is you getting in to see the Queen anyway?’ the BFG asked.

‘Now hold on a sec,’ Sophie said. ‘Just you hold on a sec because I’ve got another idea.’

‘Your ideas is full of crodswoggle,’ the BFG said.

‘Not this one,’ Sophie said. ‘You say that if we tell the Queen, she would never believe us?’

‘I is certain she wouldn’t,’ the BFG said.

‘But we aren’t going to tell her!’ Sophie said excitedly. ‘We don’t have to tell her! We’ll make her dream it!’

‘That is an even more frothbungling suggestion,’ the BFG said. ‘Dreams is lots of fun but nobody is believing in dreams either. You is only believing in a dream while you is actually dreaming it. But as soon as you is waking up you is saying “Oh thank goodness it was only a dream”.’

‘Don’t you worry about that part of it,’ Sophie said. ‘I can fix that.’

‘Never can you fix it,’ the BFG said.

‘I can! I swear I can! But first of all, let me ask you a very important question. Here it is. Can you make a person dream absolutely anything in the world?’

‘Anything you like,’ the BFG said proudly.

‘If I said I wanted to dream that I was in a flying bathtub with silver wings, could you make me dream it?’

‘I could,’ the BFG said.

‘But how?’ Sophie said. ‘You obviously don’t have exactly that dream in your collection.’

‘I do not,’ the BFG said. ‘But I could soon be mixing it up.’

‘How could you mix it up?’

‘It is a little bit like mixing a cake,’ the BFG said. ‘If you is putting the right amounts of all the different things into it, you is making the cake come out any way you want, sugary, splongy curranty, Christmassy or grobswitchy. It is the same with dreams.’

‘Go on,’ Sophie said.

‘I has diluons of dreams on my shelfs, right or left?’

‘Right,’ Sophie said.

‘I has dreams about bathtubs, lots of them. I has dreams about silver wings. I has dreams about flying. So all I has to do is mix those dreams together in the proper way and I is very quickly making a dream where you is flying in a bathtub with silver wings.’

‘I see what you mean,’ Sophie said. ‘But I didn’t know you could mix one dream with another.’

‘Dreams like being mixed,’ the BFG answered. ‘They is getting very lonesome all by themselves in those glassy bottles.’

‘Right,’ Sophie said. ‘Now then, do you have dreams about the Queen of England?’

‘Lots of them,’ the BFG said.

‘And about giants?’

‘Of course,’ the BFG said.

‘And about giants eating people?’

‘Swiggles of them,’ the BFG said.

‘And about little girls like me?’

‘Those is commonest of all,’ the BFG said. ‘I has bottles and bottles of dreams about little girls.’

‘And you could mix them all up just as I want you to?’ Sophie asked, getting more and more excited.

‘Of course,’ the BFG said. ‘But how is this helping us! I think you is barking up the wrong dog.’

‘Now hold on,’ Sophie said. ‘Listen carefully. I want you to mix a dream which you will blow into the Queen of England’s bedroom when she is asleep. And this is how it will go.’

‘Now hang on a mintick,’ the BFG said. ‘How is I possibly going to get near enough to the Queen of England’s bedroom to blow in my dream? You is talking dumbsilly.’

‘I’ll tell you that later,’ Sophie said. ‘For the moment please listen carefully. Here is the dream I want you to mix. Are you paying attention?’

‘Very close,’ the BFG said.

‘I want the Queen to dream that nine disgusting giants, each one about fifty feet tall, are galloping to England in the night. She must dream their names as well. What are their names again?’

‘Fleshlumpeater,’ the BFG said. ‘Manhugger. Bonecruncher. Ghildchewer. Meatdripper, Gizzard-gulper. Maidmasher. Bloodbottler. And the Butcher Boy.’

‘Let her dream all those names,’ Sophie said. ‘And let her dream that they will be creeping into England in the depths of the witching hour and snatching little boys and girls from their beds. Let her dream that they will be reaching into the bedroom windows and pulling the little boys and girls out of their beds and then…’ Sophie paused. ‘Do they eat them on the spot or do they carry them away first?’ she asked.

‘They is usually just popping them straight into their mouths like popcorn,’ the BFG said.

‘Put that in the dream,’ Sophie said. ‘And then… then the dream must say that when their tummies are full, they will go galloping back to Giant Country where no one can find them.’

‘Is that all?’ the BFG said.

‘Certainly not,’ Sophie said. ‘You must then explain to the Queen in her dream that there is a Big Friendly Giant who can tell her where all those beasts are living, so that she can send her soldiers and her armies to capture them once and for all. And now let her dream one last and very important thing. Let her dream that there is a little girl called Sophie sitting on her window-sill who will tell her where the Big Friendly Giant is hiding.’

‘Where is he hiding?’ asked the BFG.

‘We’ll come to that later,’ Sophie said. ‘So the Queen dreams her dream, right?’

‘Right,’ the BFG said.

‘Then she wakes up and the first thing she thinks is oh what a horrid dream. I’m so glad it was only a dream. And then she looks up from her pillow and what does she see?’

‘What does she see?’ the BFG asked.

‘She sees a little girl called Sophie sitting on her window-sill, right there in real life before her very eyes.’

‘How is you going to be sitting on the Queen’s window-sill, may I beg?’ the BFG said.

‘You are going to put me there,’ Sophie said. ‘And that’s the lovely part about it. If someone dreams that there is a little girl sitting on her window-sill and men she wakes up and sees that the little girl really is sitting there, that is a dream come true, is it not?’

‘I is beginning to see where you is driving to,’ the BFG said. ‘If the Queen is knowing that part of her dream is true, then perhaps she is believing the rest of it is true as well.’

‘That’s about it,’ Sophie said. ‘But I shall have to convince her of that myself.’

‘You said you is wanting the dream to say there is a Big Friendly Giant who is also going to talk to the Queen?’

‘Absolutely’ Sophie said. ‘You must. You are the only one who can tell her where to find the other giants.’

‘How is I meeting the Queen?’ asked the BFG. ‘I is not wanting to be shooted at by her soldiers.’

‘The soldiers are only in the front of the Palace,’ Sophie said. ‘At the back there is a huge garden and there are no soldiers in there at all. There is a very high wall with spikes on it around the garden to stop people climbing in. But you could simply walk over that.’

‘How is you knowing all this about the Queen’s Palace?’ the BFG asked.

‘Last year I was in a different orphanage,’ Sophie said. ‘It was in London and we used to go for walks all around there.’

‘Is you helping me to find this Palace?’ the BFG asked. ‘I has never dared to go hide and sneaking around London in my life.’

‘I’ll show you the way’ Sophie said confidently.

‘I is frightened of London,’ the BFG said.

‘Don’t be,’ Sophie said. ‘It’s full of tiny dark streets and there are very few people about in the witching hour.’

The BFG picked Sophie up between one finger and a thumb and placed her gently on the palm of the other hand. ‘Is the Queen’s Palace very big?’ he asked.

‘Huge,’ Sophie said.

The BFG

‘Then how is we finding the right bedroom?’

‘That’s up to you,’ Sophie said. ‘You’re supposed to be an expert at that sort of thing.’

‘And you is absolutely sure the Queen will not put me in a zoo with all the cattypiddlers?’

‘Of course she won’t,’ Sophie said. ‘You’ll be a hero. And you’ll never have to eat snozzcumbers again.’

Sophie saw the BFG’s eyes widen. He licked his lips.

‘You mean it?’ he said. ‘You really mean it? No more disgustive snozzcumbers?’

‘You couldn’t get one if you wanted to,’ Sophie said. ‘Humans don’t grow them.’

That did it. The BFG got to his feet. ‘When is you wanting me to mix this special dream?’ he asked.

‘Now,’ Sophie said. ‘At once.’

‘When is we going to see the Queen?’ he said.

‘Tonight,’ Sophie said. ‘As soon as you’ve mixed the dream.’

‘Tonight?’ the BFG cried. ‘Why such a flushbunking flurry?’

‘If we can’t save tonight’s children, we can anyway save tomorrow’s,’ Sophie said. ‘What is more, I’m getting famished. I haven’t had a thing to eat for twenty-four hours.’

‘Then we had better get crackling,’ the BFG said, moving back towards the cave.

Sophie kissed him on the tip of his thumb. ‘I knew you’d do it!’ she said. ‘Come on! Let’s hurry!’

Mixing the Dream

It was dark now. The night had already begun. The BFG, with Sophie sitting on his hand, hurried into the cave and put on those brilliant blinding lights that seemed to come from nowhere. He placed Sophie on the table. ‘Stay there please,’ he said, ‘and no chittering. I is needing to listen only to silence when I is mixing up such a knotty plexicated dream as this.’

He hurried away from her. He got out an enormous empty glass jar that was the size of a washing machine. He clutched it to his chest and hurried towards the shelves on which stood the thousands and thousands of smaller jars containing the captured dreams.

‘Dreams about giants,’ he muttered to himself as he searched the labels. ‘The giants is guzzling human beans… no, not that one… nor that one… here’s one!… And here’s another!…’ He grabbed the jars and unscrewed the tops. He tipped the dreams into the enormous jar he was clutching and as each one went in, Sophie caught a glimpse of a small sea-green blob tumbling from one jar into the other.

The BFG hurried towards another shelf. ‘Now,’ he muttered, ‘I is wanting dreams about gigglehouses for girls… and about boggleboxes for boys.’ He was becoming very tense now. Sophie could almost see the excitement bubbling inside him as he scurried back and forth among his beloved jars. There must have been fifty thousand dreams altogether up there on the shelves, but he seemed to know almost exactly where every one of them was. ‘Dreams about a little girl,’ he muttered. ‘And dreams about me… about the BFG… come on, come on, hurry up, get on with it… now where in the wonky world is I keeping those?…’

The BFG

And so it went on. In about half an hour the BFG had found all the dreams he wanted and had tipped them into the one huge jar. He put the jar on the table. Sophie sat watching him but said nothing. Inside the big jar, lying on the bottom of it, she could clearly see about fifty of those oval sea-green jellyish shapes, all pulsing gently in and out, some lying on top of others, but each one still a quite separate individual dream.

‘Now we is mixing them,’ the BFG announced. He went to the cupboard where he kept his bottles of frobscottle, and from it he took out a gigantic egg-beater. It was one of those that has a handle which you turn, and down below there are a lot of overlapping blades that go whizzing round. He inserted the bottom end of this contraption into the big jar where the dreams were lying. ‘Watch,’ he said. He started turning the handle very fast.

Flashes of green and blue exploded inside the jar. The dreams were being whisked into a sea-green froth.

‘The poor things!’ Sophie cried.

‘They is not feeling it,’ the BFG said as he turned the handle. ‘Dreams is not like human beans or animals. They has no brains. They is made of zozimus.’

The BFG

After about a minute, the BFG stopped whisking. The whole bottle was now full to the brim with large bubbles. They were almost exactly like the bubbles we ourselves blow from soapy water, except that these had even brighter and more beautiful colours swimming on their surfaces.

‘Keep watching,’ the BFG said.

Quite slowly, the topmost bubble rose up through the neck of the jar and floated away. A second one followed. Then a third and a fourth. Soon the cave was filled with hundreds of beautifully coloured bubbles, all drifting gently through the air. It was truly a wonderful sight. As Sophie watched them, they all started floating towards the cave entrance, which was still open.

‘They’re going out,’ Sophie whispered.

‘Of course,’ the BFG said.

‘Where to?’

‘Those is all little tiny dream-bits that I isn’t using,’ the BFG said. ‘They is going back to the misty country to join up with proper dreams.’

‘It’s all a bit beyond me,’ Sophie said.

‘Dreams is full of mystery and magic,’ the BFG said. ‘Do not try to understand them. Look in the big bottle and you will now see the dream you is wanting for the Queen.’

Sophie turned and stared into the great jar. On the bottom of it, something was thrashing around wildly, bouncing up and down and flinging itself against the walls of the jar. ‘Good heavens!’ she cried. ‘Is that it?’

‘That’s it,’ the BFG said proudly.

‘But it’s… it’s horrible!’ Sophie cried. ‘It’s jumping about! It wants to get out!’

‘That’s because it’s a trogglehumper,’ the BFG said. ‘It’s a nightmare.’

‘Oh, but I don’t want you to give the Queen a nightmare!’ Sophie cried.

‘If she is dreaming about giants guzzling up little boys and girls, then what is you expecting it to be except a nightmare?’ the BFG said.

‘Oh, no!’ Sophie cried.

‘Oh, yes,’ the BFG said. ‘A dream where you is seeing little chiddlers being eaten is about the most frightsome trogglehumping dream you can get. It’s a kicksy bog-thumper. It’s a whoppsy grobswitcher. It is all of them riddled into one. It is as bad as that dream I blew into the Fleshlumpeater this afternoon. It is worse.’

Sophie stared down at the fearful nightmare dream that was still thrashing away in the huge glass jar. It was much larger than the others. It was about the size and shape of, shall we say, a turkey’s egg. It was jellyish. It had tinges of bright scarlet deep inside it. There was something terrible about the way it was throwing itself against the sides of the jar.

The BFG

‘I don’t want to give the Queen a nightmare,’ Sophie said.

‘I is thinking,’ the BFG said, ‘that your Queen will be happy to have a nightmare if having a nightmare is going to save a lot of human beans from being gobbled up by filthsome giants. Is I right or is I left?’

‘I suppose you’re right,’ Sophie said. ‘It’s got to be done.’

‘She will soon be getting over it,’ the BFG said.

‘Have you put all the other important things into it?’ Sophie asked.

‘When I is blowing that dream into the Queen’s bedroom,’ the BFG said, ‘she will be dreaming every single little thingalingaling you is asking me to make her dream.’

‘About me sitting on the window-sill?’

‘That part is very strong.’

‘And about a Big Friendly Giant?’

‘I is putting in a nice long gobbit about him,’ the BFG said. As he spoke, he picked up one of his smaller jars and very quickly tipped the struggling thrashing trogglehumper out of the large jar into the small one. Then he screwed the lid tightly on to the small jar.

‘That’s it,’ he announced. ‘We is now ready.’ He fetched his suitcase and put the small jar into it.

‘Why bother to take a great big suitcase when you’ve only got one jar?’ Sophie said. ‘You could put the jar in your pocket.’

The BFG looked down at her and smiled. ‘By goggles,’ he said, taking the jar out of the suitcase, ‘your head is not quite so full of grimesludge after all! I can see you is not born last week.’

‘Thank you, kind sir,’ Sophie said, making a little curtsy from the table-top.

‘Is you ready to leave?’ the BFG asked.

‘I’m ready!’ Sophie cried. Her heart was beginning to thump at the thought of what they were about to do. It really was a wild and crazy thing. Perhaps they would both be thrown into prison.

The BFG was putting on his great black cloak.

He tucked the jar into a pocket in his cloak. He picked up his long trumpet-like dream-blower. Then he turned and looked at Sophie, who was still on the table-top. ‘The dream-bottle is in my pocket,’ he said. ‘Is you going to sit in there with it during the travel?’

‘Never!’ cried Sophie. ‘I refuse to sit next to that beastly thing!’

‘Then where is you going to sit?’ the BFG asked her.

Sophie looked him over for a few moments. Then she said, ‘If you would be kind enough to swivel one of your lovely big ears so that it is lying flat like a dish, that would make a very cosy place for me to sit.’

‘By gumbo, that is a squackling good idea!’ the BFG said.

Slowly, he swivelled his huge right ear until it was like a great shell facing the heavens. He lifted Sophie up and placed her into it. The ear itself, which was about the size of a large tea-tray, was full of the same channels and crinkles as a human ear. It was extremely comfortable.

‘I hope I don’t fall down your earhole,’ Sophie said, edging away from the large hole just beside her.

‘Be very careful not to do that,’ the BFG said. ‘You would be giving me a cronking earache.’

The nice thing about being there was that she could whisper directly into his ear.

‘You is tickling me a bit,’ the BFG said. ‘Please do not jiggle about.’

‘I’ll try not to,’ Sophie said. ‘Are we ready?’

‘Oweeee!’ yelled the BFG. ‘Don’t do that!’

‘I didn’t do anything,’ Sophie said.

‘You is talking too loud! You is forgetting that I is hearing every little thingalingaling fifty times louder than usual and there you is shouting away right inside my ear!’

‘Oh gosh,’ Sophie murmured. ‘I forgot that.’

‘Your voice is sounding like thunder and thrumpets!’

‘I’m so sorry’ Sophie whispered. ‘Is that better?’

‘No!’ cried the BFG. ‘It sounds as though you is shootling off a bunderbluss!’

‘Then how can I talk to you?’ Sophie whispered.

‘Don’t!’ cried the poor BFG. ‘Please don’t! Each word is like you is dropping buzzbombs in my earhole!’

Sophie tried speaking right under her breath. ‘Is this better?’ she said. She spoke so softly she couldn’t even hear her own voice.

‘That’s better,’ the BFG said. ‘Now I is hearing you very nicely. What is it you is trying to say to me just now?’

‘I was saying are we ready?’

‘We is off!’ cried the BFG, heading for the cave entrance. ‘We is off to meet Her Majester the Queen!’

Outside the cave, he rolled the large round stone back into place and set off at a tremendous gallop.

Journey to London

The great yellow wasteland lay dim and milky in the moonlight as the Big Friendly Giant went galloping across it.

Sophie, still wearing only her nightie, was reclining comfortably in a crevice of the BFG’s right ear. She was actually in the outer rim of the ear, near the top, where the edge of the ear folds over, and this folding-over bit made a sort of roof for her and gave her wonderful protection against the rushing wind. What is more, she was lying on skin that was soft and warm and almost velvety. Nobody, she told herself, had ever travelled in greater comfort.

The BFG

Sophie peeped over the rim of the ear and watched the desolate landscape of Giant Country go whizzing by. They were certainly moving fast. The BFG went bouncing off the ground as though there were rockets in his toes and each stride he took lifted him about a hundred feet into the air. But he had not yet gone into that whizzing top gear of his, when die ground became blurred by speed and the wind howled and his feet didn’t seem to be touching anything but air. That would come later.

Sophie had not slept for a long time. She was very tired. She was also warm and comfortable. She dozed off.

She didn’t know how long she slept, but when she woke up again and looked out over the edge of the ear, the landscape had changed completely. They were in a green country now, with mountains and forests. It was still dark but the moon was shining as brightly as ever.

Suddenly and without slowing his pace, the BFG turned his head sharply to the left. For the first time during the entire journey he spoke a few words. ‘Look quick-quick over there,’ he said, pointing his long trumpet.

Sophie looked in the direction he was pointing. Through the murky darkness all she saw at first was a great cloud of dust about three hundred yards away.

‘Those is the other giants all galloping back home after their guzzle,’ the BFG said.

Then Sophie saw them. In the light of the moon, she saw all nine of those monstrous half-naked brutes thundering across the landscape together. They were galloping in a pack, their necks craned forward, their arms bent at the elbows, and worst of all, their stomachs bulging. The strides they took were incredible. Their speed was unbelievable. Their feet pounded and thundered on the ground and left a great sheet of dust behind them. But in ten seconds they were gone.

The BFG

‘A lot of little girlsies and boysies is no longer sleeping in their beds tonight,’ the BFG said.

Sophie felt quite ill.

But this grim encounter made her more than ever determined to go through with her mission.

It must have been about an hour or so later that the BFG began to slow his pace. ‘We is in England now,’ he said suddenly.

Dark though it was, Sophie could see that they were in a country of green fields with neat hedges in between the fields. There were hills with trees all over them and occasionally there were roads with the lights of cars moving along. Each time they came to a road, the BFG was over it and away, and no motorist could possibly have seen anything except a quick black shadow flashing overhead.

All at once, a curious orange-coloured glow appeared in the night sky ahead of them.

‘We is coming close to London,’ the BFG said.

He slowed to a trot. He began looking about cautiously.

Groups of houses were now appearing on all sides. But there were still no lights in their windows. It was too early for anyone to be getting up yet.

‘Someone’s bound to see us,’ Sophie said.

‘Never is they seeing me,’ the BFG said confidently. ‘You is forgetting that I is doing this sort of thing for years and years and years. No human bean is ever catching even the smallest wink of me.’

‘I did,’ Sophie whispered.

‘Ah,’ he said. ‘Yes. But you was the very first.’

During the next half-hour, things moved so swiftly and so silently that Sophie, crouching in the giant’s ear, was unable to understand exactly what was going on. They were in streets. There were houses everywhere. Sometimes there were shops. There were bright lamps in the streets. There were quite a few people about and there were cars with lights on. But nobody ever noticed the BFG. It was impossible to understand quite how he did it. There was a kind of magic in his movements. He seemed to melt into the shadows. He would glide – that was the only word to describe his way of moving – he would glide noiselessly from one dark place to another, always moving, always gliding forward through the streets of London, his black cloak blending with the shadows of the night.

It is quite possible that one or two late-night wanderers might have thought they saw a tall black shadow skimming swiftly down a murky sidestreet, but even if they had, they would never have believed their own eyes. They would have dismissed it as an illusion and blamed themselves for seeing things that weren’t there.

Sophie and the BFG came at last to a large place full of trees. There was a road running through it, and a lake. There were no people in this place and the BFG stopped for the first time since they had set out from his cave many hours before.

‘What’s the matter?’ Sophie whispered in her under-the-breath voice.

‘I is in a bit of a puddle,’ he said.

‘You’re doing marvellously,’ Sophie whispered.

‘No, I isn’t,’ he said. ‘I is now completely boggled. I is lost.’

‘But why?’

‘Because we is meant to be in the middle of London and suddenly we is in green pastures.’

‘Don’t be silly,’ Sophie whispered. ‘This is the middle of London. It’s called Hyde Park. I know exactly where we are.’

‘You is joking.’

‘I’m not. I swear I’m not. We’re almost there.’

‘You mean we is nearly at the Queen’s Palace?’ cried the BFG.

The BFG

‘It’s just across the road,’ Sophie whispered. ‘This is where I take over.’

‘Which way?’ the BFG asked.

‘Straight ahead.’

The BFG trotted forward through the deserted park.

‘Now stop.’

The BFG stopped.

‘You see that huge roundabout ahead of us just outside the Park?’ Sophie whispered.

‘I see it.’

‘That is Hyde Park Corner.’

Even now, when it was still an hour before dawn, there was quite a lot of traffic moving around Hyde Park Corner.

Then Sophie whispered, ‘In the middle of the roundabout there is an enormous stone arch with a statue of a horse and rider on top of it. Can you see that?’

The BFG peered through the trees. ‘I is seeing it,’ he said.

‘Do you think that if you took a very fast run at it, you could jump clear over Hyde Park Corner, over the arch and over the horse and rider and land on the pavement the other side?’

‘Easy,’ the BFG said.

‘You’re sure? You’re absolutely sure?’

‘I promise,’ the BFG said.

‘Whatever you do, you mustn’t land in the middle of Hyde Park Corner.’

‘Don’t get so flussed,’ the BFG said. ‘To me that is a snitchy little jump. There’s not a thingalingaling to it.’

‘Then go!’ Sophie whispered.

The BFG broke into a full gallop. He went scorching across the Park and just before he reached the railings that divided it from the street, he took off. It was a gigantic leap. He flew high over Hyde Park Corner and landed as softly as a cat on the pavement the other side.

The BFG

‘Well done!’ Sophie whispered. ‘Now quick! Over that wall!’

Directly in front of them, bordering the pavement, there was a brick wall with fearsome-looking spikes all along the top of it. A swift crouch, a little leap and the BFG was over it.

‘We’re there!’ Sophie whispered excitedly. ‘We’re in the Queen’s back garden!’

The Palace

‘By gumdrops!’ whispered the Big Friendly Giant. ‘Is this really it?’

‘There’s the Palace,’ Sophie whispered back.

Not more than a hundred yards away, through the tall trees in the garden, across the mown lawns and the tidy flower-beds, the massive shape of the Palace itself loomed through the darkness. It was made of whitish stone. The sheer size of it staggered the BFG.

‘But this place is having a hundred bedrooms at least!’ he said.

‘Easily, I should think,’ Sophie whispered.

‘Then I is boggled,’ the BFG said. ‘How is I possibly finding the one where the Queen is sleeping?’

‘Let’s go a bit closer and have a look,’ Sophie whispered.

The BFG glided forward among the trees. Suddenly he stopped dead. The great ear in which Sophie was sitting began to swivel round. ‘Hey!’ Sophie whispered. ‘You’re going to tip me out!’

‘Ssshh!’ the BFG whispered back. ‘I is hearing something!’ He stopped behind a clump of bushes. He waited. The ear was till swinging this way and that. Sophie had to hang on tight to the side of it to save herself from tumbling out. The BFG pointed through a gap in the bushes, and there, not more than fifty yards away, she saw a man padding softly across the lawn. He had a guard-dog with him on a leash.

The BFG stayed as still as a stone. So did Sophie. The man and the dog walked on and disappeared into the darkness.

‘You was telling me they has no soldiers in the back garden,’ the BFG whispered.

‘He wasn’t a soldier,’ Sophie whispered. ‘He was some sort of a watchman. We’ll have to be careful!’

‘I is not too worried,’ the BFG said. ‘These wacksey big ears of mine is picking up even the noise of a man breathing the other side of this garden.’

‘How much longer before it begins to get light?’ Sophie whispered.

‘Very short,’ the BFG said. ‘We must go pell-mell for leather now!’

He glided forward through the vast garden, and once again Sophie noticed how he seemed to melt into the shadows wherever he went. His feet made no sound at all, even when he was walking on gravel.

Suddenly, they were right up close against the back wall of the great Palace. The BFG’s head was level with the upper windows one flight up, and Sophie, sitting in his ear, had the same view. In all the windows on that floor the curtains seemed to be drawn. There were no lights showing anywhere. In the distance they could hear the muted sound of traffic going round Hyde Park Corner.

The BFG stopped and put his other ear, the one Sophie wasn’t sitting in, close to the first window.

‘No,’ he whispered.

‘What are you listening for?’ Sophie whispered back.

‘For breathing,’ the BFG whispered. ‘I is able to tell if it is a man human bean or a lady by the breathing-voice. We has a man in there. Snortling a little bit, too.’

He glided on, flattening his tall, thin, black-cloaked body against the side of the building. He came to the next window. He listened.

‘No,’ he whispered.

He moved on.

‘This room is empty,’ he whispered.

He listened in at several more windows, but at each one he shook his head and moved on.

When he came to the window in the very centre of the Palace, he listened but did not move on. ‘Ho-ho,’ he whispered. ‘We has a lady sleeping in there.’

Sophie felt a little quiver go running down her spine. ‘But who?’ she whispered back.

The BFG put a finger to his lips for silence. He reached up through the open window and parted the curtains every so slightly.

The orange glow from the night-sky over London crept into the room and cast a glimmer of light on to its walls. It was a large room. A lovely room. A rich carpet. Gilded chairs. A dressing-table. A bed. And on the pillow of the bed lay the head of a sleeping woman.

Sophie suddenly found herself looking at a face she had seen on stamps and coins and in the newspapers all her life.

For a few seconds she was speechless.

‘Is that her?’ the BFG whispered.

‘Yes,’ Sophie whispered back.

The BFG wasted no time. First, and very carefully, he started to raise the lower half of the large window. The BFG was an expert on windows. He had opened thousands of them over the years to blow his dreams into children’s bedrooms. Some windows got stuck. Some were wobbly. Some creaked. He was pleased to find that the Queen’s window slid upward like silk. He pushed up the lower half as far as it would go so as to leave a place on the sill for Sophie to sit.

Next, he closed the crack in the curtains.

Then, with finger and thumb, he lifted Sophie out of his ear and placed her on the window-ledge with her legs dangling just inside the room, but behind the curtains.

‘Now don’t you go tip-toppling backwards,’ the BFG whispered. ‘You must always be holding on tight with both hands to the inside of the window-sill.’

Sophie did as he said.

It was summertime in London and the night was not cold, but don’t forget that Sophie was wearing only her thin nightie. She would have given anything for a dressing-gown, not just to keep her warm but to hide the whiteness of her nightie from watchful eyes in the garden below.

The BFG was taking the glass jar from the pocket of his cloak. He unscrewed the lid. Now, very cautiously, he poured the precious dream into the wide end of his trumpet. He steered the trumpet through the curtains, far into the room, aiming it at the place where he knew the bed to be. He took a deep breath. He puffed out his cheeks and pooff, he blew.

The BFG

Now he was withdrawing the trumpet, sliding it out very very carefully, like a thermometer.

‘Is you all right sitting there?’ he whispered.

‘Yes,’ Sophie murmured. She was quite terrified, but determined not to show it. She looked down over her shoulder. The ground seemed miles away. It was a nasty drop.

‘How long will the dream take to work?’ Sophie whispered.

‘Some takes an hour,’ the BFG whispered back. ‘Some is quicker. Some is slower still. But it is sure to find her in the end.’

Sophie said nothing.

‘I is going off to wait in the garden,’ the BFG whispered. ‘When you is wanting me, just call out my name and I is coming very quick.’

‘Will you hear me?’ Sophie whispered.

‘You is forgetting these,’ the BFG whispered, smiling and pointing to his great ears.

‘Goodbye,’ Sophie whispered.

Suddenly, unexpectedly, the BFG leaned forward and kissed her gently on the cheek.

Sophie felt like crying.

When she turned to look at him, he was already gone. He had simply melted away into the dark garden.

The BFG

The Queen

Dawn came at last, and the rim of a lemon-coloured sun rose up behind the roof-tops somewhere behind Victoria Station.

A while later, Sophie felt a little of its warmth on her back and was grateful.

In the distance, she heard a church clock striking. She counted the strikes. There were seven.

She found it almost impossible to believe that she, Sophie, a little orphan of no real importance in the world, was at this moment actually sitting high above the ground on the window-sill of the Queen of England’s bedroom, with the Queen herself asleep in there behind the curtain not more than five yards away.

The very idea of it was absurd.

No one had ever done such a thing before.

It was a terrifying thing to be doing.

What would happen if the dream didn’t work?

No one, least of all the Queen, would believe a word of her story.

It seemed possible that nobody had ever woken up to find a small child sitting behind the curtains on his or her window-sill.

The Queen was bound to get a shock.

Who wouldn’t?

With all the patience of a small girl who has something important to wait for, Sophie sat motionless on the window-sill.

How much longer? she wondered.

What time do Queens wake up?

Faint stirrings and distant sounds came to her from deep inside the belly of the Palace.

Then, all at once, beyond the curtains, she heard the voice of the sleeper in the bedroom. It was a slightly blurred sleep-talker’s voice. ‘Oh no!’ it cried out. ‘No! Don’t – Someone stop them! – Don’t let them do it! – I can’t bear it! – Oh please stop them! – It’s horrible! – Oh, it’s ghastly! – No! No! No!…’

She is having the dream, Sophie told herself. It must be really horrid. I feel so sorry for her. But it has to be done.

After that, there were a few moans. Then there was a long silence.

Sophie waited. She looked over her shoulder. She was terrified that she would see the man with the dog down in the garden staring up at her. But the garden was deserted. A pale summer mist hung over it like smoke. It was an enormous garden, very beautiful, with a large funny-shaped lake at the far end. There was an island in the lake and there were ducks swimming on the water.

Inside the room, beyond the curtains, Sophie suddenly heard what was obviously a knock on the door. She heard the doorknob being turned. She heard someone entering the room.

‘Good morning, Your Majesty,’ a woman was saying. It was the voice of an oldish person.

There was a pause and then a slight rattle of china and silver.

‘Will you have your tray on the bed, ma’am, or on the table?’

‘Oh Mary! Something awful has just happened!’ This was a voice Sophie had heard many times on radio and television, especially on Christmas Day. It was a very well-known voice.

‘Whatever is it, ma’am?’

‘I’ve just had the most frightful dream! It was a nightmare! It was awful!’

‘Oh, I am sorry, ma’am. But don’t be distressed. You’re awake now and it will go away. It was only a dream, ma’am.’

‘Do you know what I dreamed, Mary? I dreamed that girls and boys were being snatched out of their beds at boarding-school and were being eaten by the most ghastly giants! The giants were putting their arms in through the dormitory windows and plucking the children out with their fingers! One lot from a girls’ school and another from a boys’ school! It was all so… so vivid, Mary! it was so real!’

There was a silence. Sophie waited. She was quivering with excitement. But why the silence? Why didn’t the other one, the maid, why didn’t she say something?

‘What on earth’s the matter, Mary?’ the famous voice was saying.

There was another silence.

‘Mary! You’ve gone as white as a sheet! Are you feeling ill?’

There was suddenly a crash and a clatter of crockery which could only have meant that the tray the maid was carrying had fallen out of her hands.

‘Mary!’ the famous voice was saying rather sharply. ‘I think you’d better sit down at once! You look as though you’re going to faint! You really mustn’t take it so hard just because I’ve had an awful dream.’

‘That… that… that isn’t the reason, ma’am.’ The maid’s voice was quivering terribly.

‘Then for heaven’s sake what is the reason?’

‘I’m very sorry about the tray, ma’am.’

‘Oh, don’t worry about the tray. But what on earth was it that made you drop it? Why did you go white as a ghost all of a sudden?’

‘You haven’t seen the papers yet, have you, ma’am?’

‘No, what do they say?’

Sophie heard the rustling of a newspaper as it was being handed over.

‘It’s like the very dream you had in the night, ma’am.’

‘Rubbish, Mary. Where is it?’

‘On the front page, ma’am. It’s the big headlines.’

‘Great Scott!’ cried the famous voice. ‘Eighteen girls vanish mysteriously from their beds at Roedean School! Fourteen boys disappear from Eton! Bones are found underneath dormitory windows!’

Then there was a pause punctuated by gasps from the famous voice as the newspaper article was clearly being read and digested.

‘Oh, how ghastly!’ the famous voice cried out. ‘It’s absolutely frightful! Bones under the windows! What can have happened? Oh, those poor children!’

‘But ma’am… don’t you see, ma’am…’

‘See what, Mary?’

‘Those children were taken away almost exactly as you dreamed it, ma’am!’

‘Not by giants, Mary’

‘No, ma’am. But the bit about the girls and boys disappearing from their dormitories, you dreamed it so clearly and then it actually happened. That’s why I came over all queer, ma’am.’

‘I’m coming over a bit queer myself, Mary.’

‘It gives me the shakes, ma’am, when something like that happens, it really does.’

‘I don’t blame you, Mary.’

‘I shall get you some more breakfast, ma’am, and have this mess cleared up.’

‘No! Don’t go, Mary! Stay here a moment!’

Sophie wished she could see into the room, but she didn’t dare touch the curtains. The famous voice began speaking again. ‘I really did dream about those children, Mary. It was clear as crystal.’

‘I know you did, ma’am.’

‘I don’t know how giants got into it. That was rubbish.’

‘Shall I draw the curtains, ma’am, then we shall all feel better. It’s a lovely day.’

‘Please do.’

With a swish, the great curtains were pulled aside.

The maid screamed.

Sophie froze to the window-ledge.

The Queen, sitting up in her bed with The Times on her lap, glanced up sharply. Now it was her turn to freeze. She didn’t scream as the maid had done. Queens are too self-controlled for that. She simply sat there staring wide-eyed and white-faced at the small girl who was perched on her window-sill in a nightie.

Sophie was petrified.

The BFG

Curiously enough, the Queen looked petrified, too. One would have expected her to look surprised, as you or I would have done had we discovered a small girl sitting on our window-sill first thing in the morning. But the Queen didn’t look surprised. She looked genuinely frightened.

The maid, a middle-aged woman with a funny cap on the top of her head, was the first to recover. ‘What in the name of heaven do you think you’re doing in here?’ she shouted angrily to Sophie.

Sophie looked beseechingly towards the Queen for help.

The Queen was still staring at Sophie. Gaping at her would be more accurate. Her mouth was slightly open, her eyes were round and wide as two saucers, and the whole of that famous rather lovely face was filled with disbelief.

‘Now listen here, young lady, how on earth did you get into this room?’ the maid shouted furiously.

‘I don’t believe it,’ the Queen was murmuring. ‘I simply don’t believe it.’

‘I’ll take her out, ma’am, at once,’ the maid was saying.

‘No, Mary! No, don’t do that!’ The Queen spoke so sharply that the maid was quite taken aback. She turned and stared at the Queen. What on earth had come over her? It looked as though she was in a state of shock.

The BFG

‘Are you all right, ma’am?’ the maid was saying.

When the Queen spoke again, it was in a strange strangled sort of whisper. ‘Tell me, Mary,’ she said, ‘tell me quite truthfully, is there really a little girl sitting on my window-sill, or am I still dreaming?’

‘She is sitting there all right, ma’am, as clear as daylight, but heaven only knows how she got there! Your Majesty is certainly not dreaming it this time!’

‘But that’s exactly what I did dream!’ the Queen cried out. ‘I dreamed that as well! I dreamed there would be a little girl sitting on my window-sill in her nightie and she would talk to me!’

The maid, with her hands clasped across her starched white bosom, was staring at her mistress with a look of absolute disbelief on her face. The situation was getting beyond her. She was lost. She had not been trained to cope with this kind of madness.

‘Are you real?’ the Queen said to Sophie.

‘Y-y-yes, Your Majesty,’ Sophie murmured.

‘What is your name?’

‘Sophie, Your Majesty.’

‘And how did you get up on to my window-sill? No, don’t answer that! Hang on a moment! I dreamed that part of it, too! I dreamed that a giant put you there!’

‘He did, Your Majesty’ Sophie said.

The maid gave a howl of anguish and clasped her hands over her face.

‘Control yourself, Mary’ the Queen said sharply. Then to Sophie she said, ‘You are not serious about the giant, are you?’

The BFG

‘Oh yes, Your Majesty. He’s out there in the garden now.’

‘Is he indeed,’ the Queen said. The sheer absurdity of it all was helping her to regain her composure. ‘So he’s in the garden, is he?’ she said, smiling a little.

‘He is a good giant, Your Majesty’ Sophie said. ‘You need not be frightened of him.’

‘I’m delighted to hear it,’ said the Queen, still smiling.

‘He is my best friend, Your Majesty.’

‘How nice,’ the Queen said.

‘He’s a lovely giant, Your Majesty.’

‘I’m quite sure he is,’ the Queen said. ‘But why have you and this giant come to see me?’

‘I think you have dreamed that part of it, too, Your Majesty’ Sophie said calmly.

That pulled the Queen up short.

It took the smile right off her face.

She certainly had dreamed that part of it. She was remembering now how, at the end of her dream, it had said that a little girl and a big friendly giant would come and show her how to find the nine horrible man-eating giants.

But be careful, the Queen told herself. Keep very calm. Because this is surely not very far from the place where madness begins.

‘You did dream that, didn’t you, Your Majesty?’ Sophie said.

The maid was out of it now. She just stood there goggling.

‘Yes,’ the Queen murmured. ‘Yes, now you come to mention it, I did. But how do you know what I dreamed?’

‘Oh, that’s a long story, Your Majesty’ Sophie said. ‘Would you like me to call the Big Friendly Giant?’

The Queen looked at the child. The child looked straight back at the Queen, her face open and quite serious. The Queen simply didn’t know what to make of it. Was someone pulling her leg? she wondered.

‘Shall I call him for you?’ Sophie went on. ‘You’ll like him very much.’

The Queen took a deep breath. She was glad no one except her faithful old Mary was here to see what was going on. ‘Very well,’ she said. ‘You may call your giant. No, wait a moment. Mary, pull yourself together and give me my dressing-gown and slippers.’

The maid did as she was told. The Queen got out of bed and put on a pale pink dressing-gown and slippers.

‘You may call him now,’ the Queen said.

Sophie turned her head towards the garden and called out, ‘BFG! Her Majesty the Queen would like to see you!’

The Queen crossed over to the window and stood beside Sophie.

‘Come down off that ledge,’ she said. ‘You’re going to fall backwards any moment.’

Sophie jumped down into the room and stood beside the Queen at the open window. Mary, the maid, stood behind them. Her hands were now planted firmly on her hips and there was a look on her face which seemed to say, ‘I want no part of this fiasco.’

‘I don’t see any giant,’ the Queen said.

‘Please wait,’ Sophie said.

‘Shall I take her away now, ma’am?’ the maid said.

‘Take her downstairs and give her some breakfast,’ the Queen said.

Just then, there was a rustle in the bushes beside the lake.

Then out he came!

Twenty-four feet tall, wearing his black cloak with the grace of a nobleman, still carrying his long trumpet in one hand, he strode magnificently across the Palace lawn towards the window.

The maid screamed.

The Queen gasped.

Sophie waved.

The BFG took his time. He was very dignified in his approach. When he was close to the window where the three of them were standing, he stopped and made a slow graceful bow. His head, after he had straightened up again, was almost exactly level with the watchers at the window.

The BFG

‘Your Majester,’ he said. ‘I is your humbug servant.’ He bowed again.

Considering she was meeting a giant for the first time in her life, the Queen remained astonishingly self-composed. ‘We are very pleased to meet you,’ she said.

Down below, a gardener was coming across the lawn with a wheelbarrow. He caught sight of the BFG’s legs over to his left. His gaze travelled slowly upwards along the entire height of the enormous body. He gripped the handles of the wheelbarrow. He swayed. He tottered. Then he keeled over on the grass in a dead faint. Nobody noticed him.

The BFG

‘Oh, Majester!’ cried the BFG. ‘Oh, Queen! Oh, Monacher! Oh, Golden Sovereign! Oh, Ruler! Oh, Ruler of Straight Lines! Oh, Sultana! I is come here with my little friend Sophie… to give you a…’ The BFG hesitated, searching for the word.

‘To give me what?’ the Queen said.

‘A sistance,’ the BFG said, beaming.

The Queen looked puzzled.

‘He sometimes speaks a bit funny, Your Majesty,’ Sophie said. ‘He never went to school.’

The BFG

‘Then we must send him to school,’ the Queen said. ‘We have some very good schools in this country.’

‘I has great secrets to tell Your Majester,’ the BFG said.

‘I should be delighted to hear them,’ the Queen said. ‘But not in my dressing-gown.’

‘Shall you wish to get dressed, ma’am?’ the maid said.

‘Have either of you had breakfast?’ the Queen said.

‘Oh, could we?’ Sophie cried. ‘Oh, please! I haven’t eaten a thing since yesterday!’

‘I was about to have mine,’ the Queen said, ‘but Mary dropped it.’

The maid gulped.

‘I imagine we have more food in the Palace,’ the Queen said, speaking to the BFG. ‘Perhaps you and your little friend would care to join me.’

‘Will it be repulsant snozzcumbers, Majester?’ the BFG asked.

‘Will it be what?’ the Queen said.

‘Stinky snozzcumbers,’ the BFG said.

‘What is he talking about?’ the Queen said. ‘It sounds like a rude word to me.’ She turned to the maid and said, ‘Mary, ask them to serve breakfast for three in the… I think it had better be in the Ballroom. That has the highest ceiling.’ To the BFG, she said, ‘I’m afraid you will have to go through the door on your hands and knees. I shall send someone to show you the way.’

The BFG reached up and lifted Sophie out of the window. ‘You and I is leaving Her Majester alone to get dressed,’ he said.

‘No, leave the little girl here with me,’ the Queen said. ‘We’ll have to find something for her to put on. She can’t have breakfast in her nightie.’

The BFG returned Sophie to the bedroom.

‘Can we have sausages, Your Majesty?’ Sophie said. ‘And bacon and fried eggs?’

‘I think that might be managed,’ the Queen answered, smiling.

‘Just you wait till you taste it!’ Sophie said to the BFG. ‘No more snozzcumbers from now on!’

The Royal Breakfast

There was a frantic scurry among the Palace servants when orders were received from the Queen that a twenty-four-foot giant must be seated with Her Majesty in the Great Ballroom within the next half-hour.

The butler, an imposing personage named Mr Tibbs, was in supreme command of all the Palace servants and he did the best he could in the short time available. A man does not rise to become the Queen’s butler unless he is gifted with extraordinary ingenuity, adaptability, versatility, dexterity, cunning, sophistication, sagacity, discretion and a host of other talents that neither you nor I possess. Mr Tibbs had them all. He was in the butler’s pantry sipping an early morning glass of light ale when the order reached him. In a split second he had made the following calculations in his head: if a normal six-foot man requires a three-foot-high table to eat off, a twenty-four-foot giant will require a twelve-foot-high table.

And if a six-foot man requires a chair with a two-foot-high seat, a twenty-four-foot giant will require a chair with an eight-foot-high seat.

Everything, Mr Tibbs told himself, must be multiplied by four. Two breakfast eggs must become eight. Four rashers of bacon must become sixteen. Three pieces of toast must become twelve, and so on. These calculations about food were immediately passed on to Monsieur Papillion, the royal chef.

Mr Tibbs skimmed into the Ballroom (butlers don’t walk, they skim over the ground) followed by a whole army of footmen. The footmen all wore knee-breeches and every one of them displayed beautifully rounded calves and ankles. There is no way you can become a royal footman unless you have a well-turned ankle. It is the first thing they look at when you are interviewed.

‘Push the grand piano into the centre of the room,’ Mr Tibbs whispered. Butlers never raise their voices above the softest whisper.

Four footmen moved the piano.

‘Now fetch a large chest-of-drawers and put it on top of the piano,’ Mr Tibbs whispered.

Three other footmen fetched a very fine Chippendale mahogany chest-of-drawers and placed it on top of the piano.

‘That will be his chair,’ Mr Tibbs whispered. ‘It is exactly eight feet off the ground. Now we shall make a table upon which this gentleman may eat his breakfast in comfort. Fetch me four very tall grandfather clocks. There are plenty of them around the Palace. Let each clock be twelve feet high.’

Sixteen footmen spread out around the Palace to find the clocks. They were not easy to carry and required four footmen to each one.

‘Place the four clocks in a rectangle eight feet by four alongside the grand piano,’ Mr Tibbs whispered.

The footmen did so.

The BFG

‘Now fetch me the young Prince’s ping-pong table,’ Mr Tibbs whispered.

The ping-pong table was carried in.

‘Unscrew its legs and take them away,’ Mr Tibbs whispered. This was done.

‘Now place the ping-pong table on top of the four grandfather clocks,’ Mr Tibbs whispered. To manage this, the footmen had to stand on step-ladders.

Mr Tibbs stood back to survey the new furniture. ‘None of it is in the classic style,’ he whispered, ‘but it will have to do.’ He gave orders that a damask tablecloth should be draped over the ping-pong table, and in the end it looked really quite elegant after all.

At this point, Mr Tibbs was seen to hesitate. The footmen all stared at him, aghast. Butlers never hesitate, not even when they are faced with the most impossible problems. It is their job to be totally decisive at all times.

‘Knives and forks and spoons,’ Mr Tibbs was heard to mutter. ‘Our cutlery will be like little pins in his hands.’

But Mr Tibbs didn’t hesitate for long. ‘Tell the head gardener,’ he whispered, ‘that I require immediately a brand-new unused garden fork and also a spade. And for a knife we shall use the great sword hanging on the wall in the morning-room. But clean the sword well first. It was last used to cut off the head of King Charles the First and there may still be a little dried blood on the blade.’

When all this had been accomplished, Mr Tibbs stood near the centre of the Ballroom casting his expert butler’s eye over the scene. Had he forgotten anything? He certainly had. What about a coffee cup for the large gentleman?

‘Fetch me,’ he whispered, ‘the biggest jug you can find in the kitchen.’

A splendid one-gallon porcelain water-jug was brought in and placed on the giant’s table beside the garden fork and the garden spade and the great sword.

So much for the giant.

Mr Tibbs then had the footmen move a small delicate table and two chairs alongside the giant’s table. This was for the Queen and for Sophie. The fact that the giant’s table and chair towered far above the smaller table simply could not be helped.

All these arrangements were only just completed when the Queen, now fully dressed in a trim skirt and cashmere cardigan, entered the Ballroom holding Sophie by the hand. A pretty blue dress that had once belonged to one of the Princesses had been found for Sophie, and to make her look prettier still, the Queen had picked up a superb sapphire brooch from her dressing-table and had pinned it on the left side of Sophie’s chest. The Big Friendly Giant followed behind them, but he had an awful job getting through the door. He had to squeeze himself through on his hands and knees, with two footmen pushing him from behind and two pulling from the front. But he got through in the end. He had removed his black cloak and got rid of his trumpet, and was now wearing his ordinary simple clothes.

As he walked across the Ballroom he had to stoop quite a lot to avoid hitting the ceiling. Because of this he failed to notice an enormous crystal chandelier. Crash went his head right into the chandelier. A shower of glass fell upon the poor BFG. ‘Gunghummers and bogs winkles!’ he cried. ‘What was that?’

‘It was Louis the Fifteenth,’ the Queen said, looking slightly put out.

‘He’s never been in a house before,’ Sophie said.

Mr Tibbs scowled. He directed four footmen to clear up the mess, then, with a disdainful little wave of the hand, he indicated to the giant that he should seat himself on top of the chest-of-drawers on top of the grand piano.

‘What a phizz-whizzing flushbunking seat!’ cried the BFG. ‘I is going to be bug as a snug in a rug up here.’

‘Does he always speak like that?’ the Queen asked.

‘Quite often,’ Sophie said. ‘He gets tangled up with his words.’

The BFG sat down on the chest-of-drawers-piano and gazed in wonder around the Great Ballroom. ‘By gumdrops!’ he cried. ‘What a spliffling whoppsy room we is in! It is so gigantuous I is needing bicirculers and telescoops to see what is going on at the other end!’

The BFG

Footmen arrived carrying silver trays with fried eggs, bacon, sausages and fried potatoes.

At this point, Mr Tibbs suddenly realized that in order to serve the BFG at his twelve-foot-high grandfather-clock table, he would have to climb to the top of one of the tall step-ladders. What’s more, he must do it balancing a huge warm plate on the palm of one hand and holding a gigantic silver coffee-pot in the other. A normal man would have flinched at the thought of it. But good butlers never flinch. Up he went, up and up and up, while the Queen and Sophie watched him with great interest. It is possible they were both secretly hoping he would lose his balance and go crashing to the floor. But good butlers never crash.

At the top of the ladder, Mr Tibbs, balancing like an acrobat, poured the BFG’s coffee and placed the enormous plate before him. On the plate there were eight eggs, twelve sausages, sixteen rashers of bacon and a heap of fried potatoes.

The BFG

The BFG

‘What is this please, Your Majester?’ the BFG asked, peering down at the Queen.

‘He has never eaten anything except snozzcumbers before in his life,’ Sophie explained. ‘They taste revolting.’

‘They don’t seem to have stunted his growth,’ the Queen said.

The BFG grabbed the garden spade and scooped up all the eggs, sausages, bacon and potatoes in one go and shovelled them into his enormous mouth.

‘By goggles!’ he cried. ‘This stuff is making snozzcumbers taste like swatchwallop!’

The Queen glanced up, frowning. Mr Tibbs looked down at his toes and his lips moved in silent prayer.

‘That was only one titchy little bite,’ the BFG said. ‘Is you having any more of this delunctious grubble in your cupboard, Majester?’

‘Tibbs,’ the Queen said, showing true regal hospitality, ‘fetch the gentleman another dozen fried eggs and a dozen sausages.’

Mr Tibbs swam out of the room muttering unspeakable words to himself and wiping his brow with a white handkerchief.

The BFG lifted the huge jug and took a swallow. ‘Owch!’ he cried, blowing a mouthful across the Ballroom. ‘Please, what is this horrible swigpill I is drinking, Majester?’

‘It’s coffee,’ the Queen told him. ‘Freshly roasted.’

‘It’s filthsome!’ the BFG cried out. ‘Where is the frobscottle?’

‘The what?’ the Queen asked.

‘Delumptious fizzy frobscottle,’ the BFG answered. ‘Everyone must be drinking frobscottle with breakfast, Majester. Then we can all be whizzpopping happily together afterwards.’

‘What does he mean?’ the Queen said, frowning at Sophie. ‘What is whizzpopping?’

Sophie kept a very straight face. ‘BFG,’ she said, ‘there is no frobscottle here and whizzpopping is strictly forbidden!’

‘What!’ cried the BFG. ‘No frobscottle? No whizzpopping? No glumptious music? No boom-boom-boom?’

‘Absolutely not,’ Sophie told him firmly.

‘If he wants to sing, please don’t stop him,’ the Queen said.

‘He doesn’t want to sing,’ Sophie said.

‘He said he wants to make music,’ the Queen went on. ‘Shall I send for a violin?’

‘No, Your Majesty’ Sophie said. ‘He’s only joking.’

A sly little smile crossed the BFG’s face. ‘Listen,’ he said, peering down at Sophie, ‘if they isn’t having any frobscottle here in the Palace, I can still go whizzpopping perfectly well without it if I is trying hard enough.’

‘No!’ cried Sophie. ‘Don’t! You’re not to! I beg you!’

‘Music is very good for the digestion,’ the Queen said. ‘When I’m up in Scotland, they play the bagpipes outside the window while I’m eating. Do play something.’

‘I has Her Majester’s permission!’ cried the BFG, and all at once he let fly with a whizzpopper that sounded as though a bomb had exploded in the room.

The Queen jumped.

‘Whoopee!’ shouted the BFG. ‘That is better than bagglepipes, is it not, Majester?’

It took the Queen a few seconds to get over the shock. ‘I prefer the bagpipes,’ she said. But she couldn’t stop herself smiling.

During the next twenty minutes, a whole relay of footmen were kept busy hurrying to and from the kitchen carrying third helpings and fourth helpings and fifth helpings of fried eggs and sausages for the ravenous and delighted BFG.

When the BFG had consumed his seventy-second fried egg, Mr Tibbs sidled up to the Queen. He bent low from the waist and whispered in her ear, ‘Chef sends his apologies, Your Majesty, and he says he has no more eggs in the kitchen.’

‘What’s wrong with the hens?’ the Queen said.

‘Nothing’s wrong with the hens, Your Majesty,’ Mr Tibbs whispered.

‘Then tell them to lay more,’ the Queen said. She looked up at the BFG. ‘Have some toast and marmalade while you’re waiting,’ she said to him.

‘The toast is finished,’ Mr Tibbs whispered, ‘and chef says there is no more bread.’

‘Tell him to bake more,’ the Queen said.

While all this was going on, Sophie had been telling the Queen everything, absolutely everything about her visit to Giant Country. The Queen listened, appalled. When Sophie had finished, the Queen looked up at the BFG, who was sitting high above her. He was now eating a sponge-cake.

‘Big Friendly Giant,’ she said, ‘last night those man-eating brutes came to England. Can you remember where they went the night before?’

The BFG put a whole round sponge-cake into his mouth and chewed it slowly while he thought about this question. ‘Yes, Majester,’ he said. ‘I do think I is remembering where they said they was going the night before last. They was galloping off to Sweden for the Sweden sour taste.’

‘Fetch me a telephone,’ the Queen commanded.

Mr Tibbs placed the instrument on the table. The Queen lifted the receiver. ‘Get me the King of Sweden,’ she said.

‘Good morning,’ the Queen said. ‘Is everything all right in Sweden?’

‘Everything is terrible!’ the King of Sweden answered. ‘There is panic in the capital! Two nights ago, twenty-six of my loyal subjects disappeared! My whole country is in a panic!’

‘Your twenty-six loyal subjects were all eaten by giants,’ the Queen said. ‘Apparently they like the taste of Swedes.’

‘Why do they like the taste of Swedes?’ the King asked.

‘Because the Swedes of Sweden have a sweet and sour taste. So says the BFG,’ the Queen said.

‘I don’t know what you’re talking about,’ the King said, growing testy. ‘It’s hardly a joking matter when one’s loyal subjects are being eaten like popcorn.’

‘They’ve eaten mine as well,’ the Queen said.

‘Who’s they, for heaven’s sake?’ the King asked.

‘Giants,’ the Queen said.

‘Look here,’ the King said, ‘are you feeling all right?’

‘It’s been a rough morning,’ the Queen said. ‘First I had a horrid nightmare, then the maid dropped my breakfast and now I’ve got a giant on the piano.’

‘You need a doctor quick!’ cried the King.

‘I’ll be all right,’ the Queen said. ‘I must go now. Thanks for your help.’ She replaced the receiver.

‘Your BFG is right,’ the Queen said to Sophie. ‘Those nine man-eating brutes did go to Sweden.’

‘It’s horrible,’ Sophie said. ‘Please stop them, Your Majesty.’

‘I’d like to make one more check before I call out the troops,’ the Queen said. Once more, she looked up at the BFG. He was eating doughnuts now, popping them into his mouth ten at a time, like peas. ‘Think hard, BFG,’ she said. ‘Where did those horrid giants say they were galloping off to three nights ago?’

The BFG thought long and hard.

‘Ho-ho!’ he cried at last. ‘Yes, I is remembering!’

‘Where?’ asked the Queen.

‘One was off to Baghdad,’ the BFG said. ‘As they is galloping past my cave, Fleshlumpeater is waving his arms and shouting at me, “I is off to Baghdad and I is going to Baghdad and mum and every one of their ten children as well!” ’

Once more, the Queen lifted the receiver. ‘Get me the Lord Mayor of Baghdad,’ she said. ‘If they don’t have a Lord Mayor, get me the next best thing.’

In five seconds, a voice was on the line. ‘Here is the Sultan of Baghdad speaking,’ the voice said.

‘Listen, Sultan,’ the Queen said. ‘Did anything unpleasant happen in your city three nights ago?’

‘Every night unpleasant things are happening in Baghdad,’ the Sultan said. ‘We are chopping off people’s heads like you are chopping parsley.’

‘I’ve never chopped parsley in my life,’ the Queen said. ‘I want to know if anyone has disappeared recently in Baghdad?’

‘Only my uncle, Caliph Haroun al Rashid,’ the Sultan said. ‘He disappeared from his bed three nights ago together with his wife and ten children.’

‘There you is!’ cried the BFG, whose wonderful ears enabled him to hear what the Sultan was saying to the Queen on the telephone. ‘Fleshlumpeater did that one! He went off to Baghdad to bag dad and mum and all the little kiddles!’

The Queen replaced the receiver. ‘That proves it,’ she said, looking up at the BFG. ‘Your story is apparently quite true. Summon the Head of the Army and the Head of the Air Force immediately!’

The Plan

The Head of the Army and the Head of the Air Force stood at attention beside the Queen’s breakfast table. Sophie was still in her seat and the BFG was still high up on his crazy perch.

It took the Queen only five minutes to explain the situation to the military men.

‘I knew there was something like this going on, Your Majesty’ the Head of the Army said. ‘For the last ten years we have been getting reports from nearly every country in the world about people disappearing mysteriously in the night. We had one only the other day from Panama…’

‘For the hatty taste!’ cried the BFG.

‘And one from Wellington, in New Zealand,’ said the Head of the Army.

‘For the booty flavour!’ cried the BFG.

‘What is he talking about?’ said the Head of the Air Force.

‘Work it out for yourself,’ the Queen said. ‘What time is it? Ten a.m. In eight hours those nine bloodthirsty brutes will be galloping off to gobble up another couple of dozen unfortunate wretches. They have to be stopped. We must act fast.’

‘We’ll bomb the blighters!’ shouted the Head of the Air Force.

‘We’ll mow them down with machine-guns!’ cried the Head of the Army.

‘I do not approve of murder,’ the Queen said.

‘But they are murderers themselves!’ cried the Head of the Army.

‘That is no reason why we should follow their example,’ the Queen said. ‘Two wrongs don’t make a right.’

‘And two rights don’t make a left!’ cried the BFG.

‘We must bring them back alive,’ the Queen said.

‘How?’ the two military men said together. ‘They are all fifty feet high. They’d knock us down like ninepins!’

‘Wait!’ cried the BFG. ‘Hold your horseflies! Keep your skirts on! I think I has the answer to the maiden’s hair!’

‘Let him speak,’ the Queen said.

‘Every afternoon,’ the BFG said, ‘all these giants is in the Land of Noddy.’

‘I can’t understand a word this feller says,’ the Head of the Army snapped. ‘Why doesn’t he speak clearly?’

‘He means the Land of Nod,’ Sophie said. ‘It’s pretty obvious.’

‘Exunckly!’ cried the BFG. ‘Every afternoon all these nine giants is lying on the ground snoozling away in a very deep sleep. They is always resting like that before they is galloping off to guzzle another helping of human beans.’

‘Go on,’ they said. ‘So what?’

‘So what you soldiers has to do is to creep up to the giants while they is still in the Land of Noddy and tie their arms and legs with mighty ropes and whunking chains.’

‘Brilliant,’ the Queen said.

‘That’s all very well,’ said the Head of the Army. ‘But how do we get the brutes back here? We can’t load fifty-foot giants on to trucks! Shoot ‘em on the spot, that’s what I say!’

The BFG looked down from his lofty perch and said, this time to the Head of the Air Force, ‘You is having bellypoppers, is you not?’

‘Is he being rude?’ the Head of the Air Force said.

‘He means helicopters,’ Sophie told him.

‘Then why doesn’t he say so? Of course we have helicopters.’

‘Whoppsy big bellypoppers?’ asked the BFG.

‘Very big ones,’ the Head of the Air Force said proudly. ‘But no helicopter is big enough to get a giant like that inside it.’

‘You do not put him inside,’ the BFG said. ‘You sling him underneath the belly of your bellypopper and carry him like a porteedo.’

‘Like a what?’ said the Head of the Air Force.

‘Like a torpedo,’ Sophie said.

‘Gould you do that, Air Marshal?’ the Queen asked.

The BFG

The BFG

‘Well, I suppose we could,’ the Head of the Air Force admitted grudgingly.

‘Then get cracking!’ the Queen said. ‘You’ll need nine helicopters, one for each giant.’

‘Where is this place?’ the Air Force man said to the BFG. ‘I presume you can pinpoint it on the map?’

‘Pinpoint?’ said the BFG. ‘Map? I is never hearing these words before. Is this Air Force bean talking slush-bungle?’

The Air Marshal’s face turned the colour of a ripe plum. He was not used to being told he was talking slushbungle. The Queen, with her usual admirable tact and good sense, came to the rescue. ‘BFG,’ she said, ‘can you tell us more or less where this Giant Country is?’

‘No, Majester,’ the BFG said. ‘Not on my nelly.’

‘Then we’re jiggered!’ cried the Army General.

‘This is ridiculous!’ cried the Air Marshal.

‘You must not be giving up so easy’ the BFG said calmly. ‘The first titchy bobsticle you meet and you begin shouting you is biffsquiggled.’

The Army General was no more used to being insulted than the Air Marshal. His face began to swell with fury and his cheeks blew out until they looked like two huge ripe tomatoes. ‘Your Majesty!’ he cried. ‘We are dealing with a lunatic! I want nothing more to do with this ridiculous operation!’

The Queen, who was used to the tantrums of her senior officials, ignored him completely. ‘BFG,’ she said, ‘would you please tell these rather dim-witted characters exactly what to do.’

‘A pleasure, Majester,’ said the BFG. ‘Now listen to me carefully, you two bootbogglers.’

The military men began to twitch, but they stayed put.

‘I is not having the foggiest idea where Giant Country is in the world,’ the BFG said, ‘but I is always able to gallop there. I is galloping forthwards and backwards from Giant Country every night to blow my dreams into little chiddlers’ bedrooms. I is knowing the way very well. So all you is having to do is this. Put your nine big bellyhoppers up in the air and let them follow me as I is galloping along.’

‘How long will the journey take?’ the Queen asked.

‘If we is leaving now,’ the BFG said, ‘we will be arriving just as the giants is having their afternoon snozzle.’

‘Splendid,’ said the Queen. Then turning to the two military men, she said, ‘Prepare to leave immediately.’

The Head of the Army, who was feeling pretty miffed by the whole business, said, ‘That’s all very well, Your Majesty, but what are we going to do with the blighters once we’ve got them back?’

‘Don’t you worry about that,’ the Queen told him. ‘We’ll be ready for them. Hurry up, now! Off you go!’

‘If it pleases Your Majesty,’ Sophie said, ‘I should like to ride with the BFG, to keep him company.’

‘Where will you sit?’ asked the Queen.

‘In his ear,’ Sophie said. ‘Show them, BFG.’

The BFG got down from his high chair. He picked Sophie up in his fingers. He swivelled his huge right ear until it was parallel with the ground, then he placed Sophie gently inside it.

The Heads of the Army and the Air Force stood there goggling. The Queen smiled. ‘You really are rather a wonderful giant,’ she said.

‘Majester,’ the BFG said, ‘I is wishing to ask a very special thing from you.’

‘What is it?’ the Queen said.

‘Could I please bring back here in the bellypoppers all my collection of dreams? They is taking me years and years to collect and I is not wanting to lose them.’

‘Why of course,’ the Queen said. ‘I wish you a safe journey.’

Capture!

The BFG

The BFG had made thousands of journeys to and from Giant Country over the years, but he had never in his life made one quite like this, with nine huge helicopters roaring along just over his head. He had never before travelled in broad daylight either. He hadn’t dared to. But this was different. Now he was doing it for the Queen of England herself and he was frightened of nobody.

As he galloped across the British Isles with the helicopters thundering above him, people stood and gaped and wondered what on earth was going on. They had never seen the likes of it before. And they never would again.

Every now and then, the pilots of the helicopters would catch a glimpse of a small girl wearing glasses crouching in the giant’s right ear and waving to them. They always waved back. The pilots marvelled at the giant’s speed and at the way he leaped across wide rivers and over huge houses.

But they hadn’t seen anything yet.

‘Be careful to hang on tight!’ the BFG said. ‘We is going fast as a fizzlecrump!’ The BFG changed into his famous top gear and all at once he began to fly forward as though there were springs in his legs and rockets in his toes. He went skimming over the earth like some magical hop-skip-and-jumper with his feet hardly ever touching the ground. As usual, Sophie had to crouch low in the crevice of his ear to save herself from being swept clean away.

The nine pilots in their helicopters suddenly realized they were being left behind. The giant was streaking ahead. They opened their throttles to full speed, and even then they were only just able to keep up.

In the leading machine, the Head of the Air Force was sitting beside the pilot. He had a world atlas on his knees and he kept staring first at the atlas, then at the ground below, trying to figure out where they were going. Frantically he turned the pages of the atlas. ‘Where the devil are we going?’ he cried.

‘I haven’t the foggiest idea,’ the pilot answered. ‘The Queen’s orders were to follow the giant and that’s exactly what I’m doing.’

The pilot was a young Air Force officer with a bushy moustache. He was very proud of his moustache. He was also quite fearless and he loved adventure. He thought this was a super adventure. ‘It’s fun going to new places,’ he said.

‘New places!’ shouted the Head of the Air Force. ‘What the blazes d’you mean new places?’

The BFG

‘This place we’re flying over now isn’t in the atlas, is it?’ the pilot said, grinning.

‘You’re darn right it isn’t in the atlas!’ cried the Head of the Air Force. ‘We’ve flown clear off the last page!’

‘I expect that old giant knows where he’s going,’ the young pilot said.

‘He’s leading us to disaster!’ cried the Head of the Air Force. He was shaking with fear. In the seat behind him sat the Head of the Army, who was even more terrified.

‘You don’t mean to tell me we’ve gone right out of the atlas?’ he cried, leaning forward to look.

‘That’s exactly what I am telling you!’ cried the Air Force man. ‘Look for yourself. Here’s the very last map in the whole flaming atlas! We went off that over an hour ago!’ He turned the page. As in all atlases, there were two completely blank pages at the very end. ‘So now we must be somewhere here,’ he said, putting a finger on one of the blank pages.

‘Where’s here?’ cried the Head of the Army.

The young pilot was still grinning broadly. He said to them, ‘That’s why they always put two blank pages at the back of the atlas. They’re for new countries. You’re meant to fill them in yourself.’

The Head of the Air Force glanced down at the ground below. ‘Just look at this godforsaken desert!’ he cried. ‘All the trees are dead and all the rocks are blue!’

‘The giant has stopped,’ the young pilot said. ‘He’s waving us down.’

The pilots throttled back the engines and all nine helicopters landed safely on the great yellow wasteland. Then each of them lowered a ramp from its belly. Nine jeeps, one from each helicopter, were driven down the ramps. Each jeep contained six soldiers and a vast quantity of thick rope and heavy chains.

‘I don’t see any giants,’ the Head of the Army said.

‘The giants is all just out of sight over there,’ the BFG told him. ‘But if you is taking these sloshbuckling noisy bellypoppers any closer, all the giants is waking up at once and then pop goes the weasel.’

‘So you want us to proceed by jeep?’ the Head of the Army said.

‘Yes,’ the BFG said. ‘But you must all be very very hushy quiet. No roaring of motors. No shouting. No mucking about. No piggery-jokery.’

The BFG, with Sophie still in his ear, trotted forward and the jeeps followed close behind.

Suddenly the most dreadful rumbling noise was heard by everyone. The Head of the Army went pea-green in the face. ‘Those are guns!’ he cried. ‘There is a battle raging somewhere up ahead of us! Turn back, the lot of you! Let’s get out of here!’

‘Pigspiffle!’ the BFG said. ‘Those noises is not guns.’

‘Of course they’re guns!’ shouted the Head of the Army. ‘I am a military man and I know a gun when I hear one! Turn back!’

‘Those is just the giants snortling in their sleep,’ the BFG said. ‘I is a giant myself and I know a giant’s snortle when I is hearing one.’

‘Are you quite sure?’ the Army man said anxiously.

‘Positive,’ the BFG said.

‘Proceed cautiously’ the Army man ordered.

They all moved on.

Then they saw them!

Even at a distance, they were enough to scare the daylights out of the soldiers. But when they got close and saw what the giants really looked like, they began to sweat with fear. Nine fearsome, ugly, half-naked, fifty-feet-long brutes lay sprawled over the ground in various grotesque attitudes of sleep, and the sound of their snoring was indeed like gunfire in a battle.

The BFG

The BFG raised a hand. The jeeps all stopped. The soldiers got out.

‘What happens if one of them wakes up?’ whispered the Head of the Army, his knees knocking together from fear.

‘If any one of them is waking up, he will gobble you down before you can say knack jife,’ the BFG answered, grinning hugely. ‘Me is the only one what won’t be gobbled up because giants is never eating giants. Me and Sophie is the only safe ones because I is hiding her if that happens.’

The Head of the Army took several paces to the rear. So did the Head of the Air Force. They climbed rather quickly back into their jeep, ready to make a fast getaway if necessary. ‘Go forward, men!’ the Head of the Army said. ‘Go forward and do your duty bravely!’

The soldiers crept forward with their ropes and chains. All of them were trembling mightily. None dared speak a word.

The BFG, with Sophie now sitting on the palm of his hand, stood near by watching the operation.

To give the soldiers their due, they were extremely courageous. There were six well-trained efficient men working on each giant and within ten minutes eight out of the nine giants had been trussed up like chickens and were still snoring contentedly. The ninth, who happened to be the Fleshlumpeater, was causing trouble for the soldiers because he was lying with his right arm tucked underneath his enormous body. It was impossible to tie his wrists and arms together without first getting that arm out from underneath him.

Very very cautiously, the six soldiers who were working on the Fleshlumpeater began to pull at the huge arm, trying to release it. The Fleshlumpeater opened his tiny piggy black eyes.

‘Which of you foulpesters is wiggling my arm?’ he bellowed. ‘Is that you, you rotsome Manhugger?’

Suddenly he saw the soldiers. In a flash, he was sitting up. He looked around him. He saw more soldiers. With a roar, he leaped to his feet. The soldiers, petrified with fear, froze where they were. They had no weapons with them. The Head of the Army put his jeep into reverse.

‘Human beans!’ the Fleshlumpeater yelled. ‘What is all you flushbunking rotsome half-baked beans doing in our country?’ He made a grab at a soldier and swept him up in his hand.

‘I is having early suppers today!’ he shouted, holding the poor squirming soldier at arm’s length and roaring with laughter.

The BFG

Sophie, standing on the palm of the BFG’s hand, was watching horrorstruck. ‘Do something!’ she cried. ‘Quick, before he eats him!’

‘Put that human bean down!’ the BFG shouted.

The Fleshlumpeater turned and stared at the BFG. ‘What is you doing here with all these grotty twiglets!’ he bellowed. ‘You is making me very suspichy!’

The BFG made a rush at the Fleshlumpeater, but the colossal fifty-four-foot-high giant simply knocked him over with a flick of his free arm. At the same time, Sophie fell off the BFG’s palm on to the ground. Her mind was racing. She must do something! She must! She must! She remembered the sapphire brooch the Queen had pinned on to her chest. Quickly, she undid it.

‘I is guzzling you nice and slow!’ the Fleshlumpeater was saying to the soldier in his hand. ‘Then I is guzzling ten or twenty more of you midgy little maggots down there! You is not getting away from me because I is galloping fifty times faster than you!’

Sophie ran up behind the Fleshlumpeater. She was holding the brooch between her fingers. When she was right up close to the great naked hairy legs, she rammed the three-inch-long pin of the brooch as hard as she could into the Fleshlumpeater’s right ankle. It went deep into the flesh and stayed there.

The BFG

The giant gave a roar of pain and jumped high in the air. He dropped the soldier and made a grab for his ankle.

The BFG, knowing what a coward the Fleshlumpeater was, saw his chance. ‘You is bitten by a snake!’ he shouted. ‘I seed it biting you! It was a frightsome poisnowse viper! It was a dreadly dungerous vindscreen viper!’

‘Save our souls!’ bellowed the Fleshlumpeater. ‘Sound the crumpets! I is bitten by a septicous venomsome vindscreen viper!’ He flopped to the ground and sat there howling his head off and clutching his ankle with both hands. His fingers felt the brooch. ‘The teeth of the dreadly viper is still sticking into me!’ he yelled. ‘I is feeling the teeth sticking into my anklet!’

The BFG saw his second chance. ‘We must be getting those viper’s teeth out at once!’ he cried. ‘Otherwise you is deader than duck-soup! I is helping you!’

The BFG knelt down beside the Fleshlumpeater. ‘You must grab your anklet very tight with both hands!’ he ordered. ‘That will stop the poisnowse juices from the venomsome viper going up your leg and into your heart!’

The Fleshlumpeater grabbed his ankle with both hands.

‘Now close your eyes and grittle your teeth and look up to heaven and say your prayers while I is taking out the teeth of the venomsome viper,’ the BFG said.

The terrified Fleshlumpeater did exactly as he was told.

The BFG signalled for some rope. A soldier rushed it over to him. With both the Fleshlumpeater’s hands gripping his ankle, it was a simple matter for the BFG to tie the ankles and hands together with a tight knot.

The BFG

‘I is pulling out the frightsome viper’s teeth!’ the BFG said as he pulled the knot tight.

‘Do it quickly!’ shouted the Fleshlumpeater, ‘before I is pizzened to death!’

‘There we is,’ said the BFG, standing up. ‘You can look now.’

When the Fleshlumpeater saw that he was trussed up like a turkey, he gave a yell so loud that the heavens trembled. He rolled and he wriggled, he fought and he figgled, he squirmed and he squiggled. But there was not a thing he could do.

‘Well done you!’ Sophie cried.

‘Well done you!’ said the BFG, smiling down at the little girl. ‘You is saving all of our lives!’

‘Will you please get that brooch back for me,’ Sophie said. ‘It belongs to the Queen.’

The BFG pulled the beautiful brooch out of the Fleshlumpeater’s ankle. The Fleshlumpeater howled. The BFG wiped the pin and handed it back to Sophie.

Curiously, not one of the other eight snoring giants had woken up during this shimozzle. ‘When you is only sleeping one or two hours a day, you is sleeping extra doubly deep,’ the BFG explained.

The Head of the Army and the Air Force drove forward once again in their jeep. ‘Her Majesty will be very pleased with me,’ the Head of the Army said. ‘I shall probably get a medal. What’s the next move?’

‘Now you is all driving over to my cave to load up my bottles of dreams,’ the BFG said.

‘We can’t waste time with that rubbish,’ the Army General said.

‘It is the Queen’s order,’ Sophie said. She was now back on the BFG’s hand.

So the nine jeeps drove across to the BFG’s cave and the great dream-loading operation began. There were fifty thousand jars in all to be loaded up, more than five thousand to each jeep, and it took over an hour to finish the job.

While the soldiers were loading the dreams, the BFG and Sophie disappeared over the mountains on a mysterious errand. When they came back, the BFG had a sack the size of a small house slung over his shoulder.

‘What’s that you’ve got in there?’ the Head of the Army demanded to know.

‘Curiosity is killing the rat,’ the BFG said, and he turned away from the silly man.

When he was sure that all his precious dreams had been safely loaded on to the jeeps, the BFG said, ‘Now we is driving back to the bellypoppers and picking up the frightsome giants.’

The jeeps drove back to the helicopters. The fifty thousand dreams were carried carefully, jar by jar, on to the helicopters. The soldiers climbed back on board, but the BFG and Sophie stayed on the ground. Then they all returned to where the nine giants were lying.

It was a fine sight to see them, these great air machines hovering over the trussed-up giants. It was an even finer sight to see the giants being woken up by the terrific thundering of the engines overhead, and the finest sight of all was to observe those nine hideous brutes squirming and twisting about on the ground like a mass of mighty snakes as they tried to free themselves from their ropes and chains.

The BFG

‘I is flushbunkled!’ roared the Fleshlumpeater.

‘I is splitzwiggled!’ yelled the Ghildchewer.

‘I is swogswalloped!’ bellowed the Bonecruncher.

‘I is goosegruggled!’ howled the Manhugger.

‘I is gunzleswiped!’ shouted the Meatdripper.

‘I is fluckgungled!’ screamed the Maidmasher.

‘I is slopgroggled!’ squawked the Gizzardgulper.

‘I is crodsquinkled!’ yowled the Bloodbottler.

‘I is bopmuggered!’ screeched the Butcher Boy.

The nine giant-carrying helicopters each chose a separate giant and hovered directly over him. Very strong steel hawsers with hooks on the ends of them were lowered from the front and rear of each helicopter. The BFG quickly secured the hooks to the giants’ chains, one hook near the legs and the other near the arms. Then very slowly, the giants were winched up into the air, parallel with the ground. The giants roared and bellowed, but there was nothing they could do.

The BFG, with Sophie once more resting comfortably in his ear, set off at a gallop for England. The helicopters all banked around and followed after him.

It was an amazing spectacle, those nine helicopters winging through the sky, each with a trussed-up fifty-foot-long giant slung underneath it. The giants themselves must have found it an interesting experience. They never stopped bellowing, but their howls were drowned by the noise of the engines.

When it began to get dark, the helicopters switched on powerful searchlights and trained them on to the galloping giant so as to keep him in sight. They flew right through the night and arrived in England just as dawn was breaking.

Feeding Time

While the giants were being captured, a tremendous bustle and hustle was going on back home in England. Every earth-digger and mechanical contrivance in the country had been mobilized to dig the colossal hole in which the nine giants were to be permanently imprisoned.

Ten thousand men and ten thousand machines worked ceaselessly through the night under powerful arc-lights, and the massive task was completed only just in time.

The hole itself was about twice the size of a football field and five hundred feet deep. The walls were perpendicular and engineers had calculated that there was no way a giant could escape once he was put in. Even if all nine giants were to stand on each other’s shoulders, the topmost giant would still be some fifty feet from the top of the hole.

The nine giant-carrying helicopters hovered over the massive pit. The giants, one by one, were lowered to the floor. But they were still trussed up and now came the tricky business of releasing them from their bonds. Nobody wanted to go down and do this because the moment a giant was freed, he would be sure to turn on the wretched person who had freed him and gobble him up.

As usual, the BFG had the answer. ‘I has told you before,’ he said, ‘giants is never eating giants, so I is going down and I shall untie them myself before you can say rack jobinson.’

The BFG

With thousands of fascinated spectators, including the Queen, peering down into the pit, the BFG was lowered on a rope. One by one, he released the giants. They stood up, stretched their stiffened limbs and started leaping about in fury.

‘Why is they putting us down here in this grobsludging hole?’ they shouted at the BFG.

‘Because you is guzzling human beans,’ the BFG answered. ‘I is always warning you not to do it and you is never taking the titchiest bit of notice.’

‘In that case,’ the Fleshlumpeater bellowed, ‘I think we is guzzling you instead!’

The BFG grabbed the dangling rope and was hoisted out of the pit just in time.

The great bulging sack he had brought back with him from Giant Country lay at the top of the pit.

‘What’s in there?’ the Queen asked him.

The BFG put an arm into the sack and pulled out a gigantic black and white striped object the size of a man.

‘Snozzcumbers!’ he cried. ‘This is the repulsant snozzcumber, Majester, and that is all we is going to give these disgustive giants from now on!’

‘May I taste it?’ the Queen asked.

‘Don’t, Majester, don’t!’ cried the BFG. ‘It is tasting of trogfilth and pigsquibble!’ With that he tossed the snozzcumber down to the giants below. ‘There’s your supper!’ he shouted. ‘Have a munch on that!’ He fished out more snozzcumbers from the sack and threw them down. The giants below howled and cursed. The BFG laughed. ‘It serves them right left and centre!’ he said.

The BFG

‘What will we feed them on when the snozzcumbers are all used up?’ the Queen asked him.

‘They is never being used up, Majester,’ the BFG answered, smiling. ‘I is also bringing in this sack a whole bungle of snozzcumber plants which I is giving, with your permission, to the royal gardener to put in the soil. Then we is having an everlasting supply of this repulsant food to feed these thirstbloody giants on.’

‘What a clever fellow you are,’ the Queen said. ‘You are not very well educated but you are really nobody’s fool, I can see that.’

The Author

Every country in the world that had in the past been visited by the foul man-eating giants sent telegrams of congratulations and thanks to the BFG and to Sophie. Kings and Presidents and Prime Ministers and Rulers of every kind showered the enormous giant and the little girl with compliments and thank-yous, as well as all sorts of medals and presents.

The Ruler of India sent the BFG a magnificent elephant, the very tiling he had been wishing for all his life.

The King of Arabia sent them a camel each.

The Lama of Tibet sent them a llama each.

Wellington sent them one hundred pairs of wellies each.

Panama sent them beautiful hats.

The King of Sweden sent them a barrelful of sweet and sour pork.

The BFG

Jersey sent them pullovers.

There was no end to the gratitude of the world.

The Queen herself gave orders that a special house with tremendous high ceilings and enormous doors should immediately be built in Windsor Great Park, next to her own castle, for the BFG to live in. And a pretty little cottage was put up next door for Sophie. The BFG’s house was to have a special dream-storing room with hundreds of shelves in it where he could put his beloved bottles. What is more, he was given the title of The Royal Dream-Blower. He was allowed to go galloping off to any place in England on any night of the year to blow his splendid phizzwizards in through the windows to sleeping children. And letters poured into his house by the million from children begging him to pay them a visit.

Meanwhile, tourists from all over the globe came flocking to gaze down in wonder at the nine horrendous man-eating giants in the great pit. They came especially at feeding-time, when the snozzcumbers were being thrown down to them by the keeper, and it was a pleasure to listen to the howls and growls of horror coming up from the pit as the giants began to chew upon the filthiest-tasting vegetable on earth.

There was only one disaster. Three silly men who had drunk too much beer for lunch decided to climb over the high fence surrounding the pit, and of course they fell in. There were yells of delight from the giants below, followed by the crunching of bones. The head keeper immediately put up a big notice on the fence saying, IT IS FORBIDDEN TO FEED THE GIANTS. And after that, there were no more disasters.

The BFG

The BFG expressed a wish to learn how to speak properly, and Sophie herself, who loved him as she would a father, volunteered to give him lessons every day. She even taught him how to spell and to write sentences, and he turned out to be a splendid intelligent pupil. In his spare time, he read books. He became a tremendous reader. He read all of Charles Dickens (whom he no longer called Dahl’s Chickens), and all of Shakespeare and literally thousands of other books. He also started to write essays about his own past life. When Sophie read some of them, she said, ‘These are very good. I think perhaps one day you could become a real writer.’

The BFG

‘Oh, I would love that!’ cried the BFG. ‘Do you think I could?’

‘I know you could,’ Sophie said. ‘Why don’t you start by writing a book about you and me?’

‘Very well,’ the BFG said. ‘I’ll give it a try.’

So he did. He worked hard on it and in the end he completed it. Rather shyly, he showed it to the Queen. The Queen read it aloud to her grandchildren. Then the Queen said, ‘I think we ought to get this book printed properly and published so that other children can read it.’ This was arranged, but because the BFG was a very modest giant he wouldn’t put his own name on it. He used somebody else’s name instead.

The BFG

But where, you might ask, is this book that the BFG wrote?

It’s right here. You’ve just finished reading it.

The Butthead Trio

Chapter 1: How It All Started

It was a nice Saturday morning in the city of Highland. Mr. Tom Anderson was mowing his yard with his fancy new riding mower, Mr. Van Driessen was at home doing Yoga, and Mr. Bradley Buzzcut was at home with a weekend project of doing 10,000 push-ups. It seemed that everyone was being very productive, except for two slackers by the names of Beavis and Butthead.

Beavis and Butthead were both 14 years old, and they were very bizarre teenagers. They lacked in intelligence, and they always ended up in stupid situations. Beavis had puffy blonde hair and brown eyes. His head was huge and looked almost like a peanut. He had a pointed nose and big nostrils. He always seemed to have his head turned at an angle, and people hardly ever saw his face looking straight forward. Beavis wore blue shorts, and he also wore a blue shirt that said, "Metallica." Butthead had brown hair that looked like a Mohawk when he turned to the side. Like Beavis, he had a very large head. Butthead wore red shorts, and he also wore a black shirt that said, "AC-DC".

Beavis and Butthead didn't seem to hang out with anybody else. They were each other's best friends, and they did everything together. They watched TV together, ate together, and slept in the same house (but NOT in the same bed!) They usually hung out at Beavis's house. Beavis's house was a ranch, and it was somewhat of a dump. The grass was in bad need of cutting, and several roof tiles had fallen off. The yellow paint had started chipping off the siding. The wooden Pickett fence that surrounded the yard needed replacing, but Beavis and Butthead were not up to fixing it.

Neither of them seemed to have parents, which made it very easy and convenient for them to get into mischief, such as goofing off in school.

At this moment, Beavis and Butthead were in their cramp living room watching TV on their old 21" 1987 Sony. The TV was years outdated, but it still worked, and it was all Beavis and Butthead had. Occasionally, though, they had to readjust the VHF and UHF antennas since they didn't have cable. Their science teacher, Mr. Van Driessen, had an assignment over the weekend. They were to pick a grass blade from the lawn and watch it only once a day just to see it begin to wither. But even that was too hard for Beavis and Butthead. Right now, they were watching daytime infomercials.

"Eh heh heh heh heh heh," snickered Beavis, who sat on the red couch with his best friend, Butthead. He was snickering for no apparent reason.

"Huh huh huh huh," Butthead chuckled. He sat to the right of Beavis.

The two of them continued to laugh and snicker for seemingly no reason whatsoever. They watched TV as they snickered. Finally, they stopped the snickering for a while and started talking.

"Hey, Beavis…I'm bored," Butthead said.

"Heh heh. Yeah, me too. Heh heh," Beavis said.

"Why don't we like do something?" Butthead said.

"Okay, but what? Heh heh?" Beavis said.

"Uh…why don't we see what Stewart's doing?" Butthead suggested.

"Yeah, okay," Beavis said. The two of them snickered as they got off the couch and left for Stewart's house. Stewart's house was just down the street, and he lived in a well maintained split-level home. Beavis and Butthead knocked on his door. His mother came out.

"Hello, boys," she greeted. Beavis and Butthead chuckled.

"Yeah, uh…we like want to talk to Stewart and stuff," Butthead said.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but Stewart's out with his youth group," his mother said.

"Darn!" Beavis said. Stewart's mother shut the door, and Beavis and Butthead left. They stood in the middle of the street. "Now what are we supposed to do?"

"Uh…let's go buy a magazine," Butthead said.

"No, no, no," Beavis said. "We do that every day! Besides, we don't have any money!"

"Uh…oh yeah. Huh huh huh," Butthead said. "Uh…why don't we like call people and stuff?"

"Oh, yeah, good idea, Butthead," Beavis said. "Heh heh." The two of them walked home to go to their phone. When they arrived, Butthead picked up the black wall phone in their small, rickety kitchen.

"Who should we call?" Butthead asked.

"I don't know. Just press random buttons and see who comes up," Beavis said.

"Uh…okay," Butthead said. Butthead mashed several buttons at once and listened to the phone. It made the beeping sound made by phones when it has reached a phone. The beeping continued for a few moments, until someone answered the phone.

"Hello?" the person asked.

"Hi," Beavis said. "Heh heh."

"Yeah, hi," Butthead said. "Like, who are you?"

"Who is this?" snapped the person on the other line. "Dang teenage kids and their stupid prank calling!" The person slammed down the phone, and Beavis and Butthead snickered hysterically.

"Hey, Butthead, heh, heh, let me try," Beavis said. He dialed another number. Beavis and Butthead waited until the person on the other line answered.

"Hello?" a familiar voice answered.

"Uh oh, it's Mr. Van Driessen!" Beavis said.

"Beavis, Butthead, is that you guys?" Mr. Van Driessen asked.

"Uh…no. He's Butthead, and I'm Beavis. Huh huh," Butthead said.

"Did you guys call me for no particular reason?" Mr. Van Driessen asked.

"Um, heh heh, maybe," Beavis said.

"Now, look, guys, calling people on the phone without wanting to talk to them is not a very nice thing to do. It is rude and can interrupt people when they're in the middle of their daily lives, m'kay?" Mr. Van Driessen said.

"Uh…huh huh, whatever," Butthead said.

"Next time, try not to prank call people from now on, m'kay?" Mr. Van Driessen said. He then hung up.

"He was stupid. Let's try somebody else," Beavis said. He dialed another random number. The boys waited anxiously to see who would answer. Finally, they heard somebody on the other line answer.

"Hello?" the person asked. The person sounded like a boy similar in age to Beavis and Butthead.

"Heh heh, hi," Beavis said. "Who are you?"

"My name's Joey. Who are you?" Joey asked.

"I'm Beavis, and this is my friend, Butthead," Beavis said. "Say hello, Butthead."

"Uh…huh huh huh, hi," Butthead said.

"Are you guys the same Beavis and Butthead from the TV show?" Joey asked excitedly.

"Umm, yeah, sure, I guess so," Beavis said. "Heh heh."

"He said 'show'," Butthead said. The two of them started snickering more.

"So, uh, heh heh, where do you live?" Beavis asked.

"Down in the South!" Joey said.

"The south?" Butthead said. "Are you a hillbilly or something? Huh huh."

"Sort of, I guess," Joey said.

"Whoa! That's cool," Butthead said.

"Hey, heh, do you wanna hang out with us or something? Heh heh," Beavis said.

"Sure, where do you guys live?" Joey asked.

"Highland," Beavis said.

"Okay, I'll see you guys in an hour," Joey said. He hung up.

Beavis and Butthead hung up as well. "That was cool," Butthead said.

"Yeah, I know. Heh heh heh," Beavis said. The two of them continued to snicker, and they walked into the living room to continue watching TV. They were glad that a visitor was going to show up.

Chapter 2: Joey Arrives

Beavis and Butthead gave up watching TV because there were no infomercials that they could make fun of. They turned it off and walked out of their house and waited for Joey outside.

"So, uh, when do you think that dude's going to get here?" Beavis asked.

"He said an hour, butt munch!" Butthead yelled.

"Oh yeah, heh heh," Beavis said. "But let's see, if he lives in the South, and we're in New Mexico, then how can he get here in only an hour?"

"Uh…I don't know. Huh huh," Butthead said.

An hour passed, and Beavis and Butthead still stood outside. They almost forgot that they were waiting for Joey to show up. Then, a pretty girl that Beavis and Butthead admired named Kimberly walked by. Kimberly had nice light brown hair and often had short jean skirts. She also had felt shirts that were sometimes a little revealing. Beavis and Butthead turned their attention to Kimberly.

"What are you guys doing out here just standing here?" Kimberly asked. "You've been standing there for at least ten minutes."

"Uh…I don't know," Butthead said. "Huh huh. But I know something else that's standing right now," he added.

"Yeah, me too," Beavis said.

Kimberly threw her hands up in the air and walked away. "You guys are sick and disgusting!" Beavis and Butthead continued to snicker. That is, until they heard a loud roaring noise of a big truck. The truck whooshed down the street and suddenly came to a halt at Beavis's house. The truck was blue and looked like a Junker. It had tires that were about 20 feet high, and then, a short boy in a blue shirt jumped down from the truck. "Agh!" he screamed as he fell from the truck. He smashed into the street. He was motionless, but Beavis and Butthead just stood there and didn't do anything. After a while, the boy got up and walked around his truck and went to Beavis and Butthead.

The boy was a little taller than Beavis and Butthead, but their hairstyles were so big and puffy that it made it seem that they were taller than him. The boy had faded blue jeans and a big silver belt buckle, and he had heavy brown boots. "Are you guys Beavis and Butthead?" the boy asked.

"Uh…he's Butthead, and I'm Beavis," Butthead said.

"Ha, ha, ha," Joey laughed. "Anyway, I'm Joey. You know, you called me and asked if I could come stay for a while."

"Oh, yeah, that dude," Beavis said. "Hey, Joey."

"Dude, you must have gone pretty fast to get here from the South in just an hour," Butthead commented.

"Yep. You guys don't even want to know how fast I was going," Joey said.

"Anyway, uh, welcome," Butthead said. "See that hot chick over there? That's Kimberly."

"Dang, she is hot," Joey said as he gazed at Kimberly. Beavis and Butthead snickered as annoyingly as ever.

Suddenly, Kimberly shot a look at the three, and she stormed back over. "What is it with you guys?" she snapped. "Why can't you just leave me alone? And now you've got a third person in the group! You're probably going to teach him to be as foul and stupid as you!" Kimberly walked away.

"Do the three of you have problems?" Joey asked.

"Yeah, but that's just the way chicks are," Beavis said. "You've just got to live with it."

"I think you ought to apologize," Joey said.

Beavis and Butthead did not seem to hear Joey. "Come on, dude, let's go inside," Beavis said. He dragged Joey into the house. "So like, this is the living room," Beavis said, showing Joey the living room.

"Yeah, huh huh, and here's the TV," Butthead said, showing off the TV.

"Nice," Joey said. "What do you guys like to do?"

"There's lots of stuff we like to do," Beavis said. "Like, uh, you know, spank the monkey, stare at chicks, and stuff."

"Anything else?" Joey asked.

"We watch TV," Butthead said.

"And?" Joey asked.

"Goof off," Beavis said.

"And?" Joey asked.

"Dude, shut up already," Butthead said, slapping Joey in the cheek.

"Let's watch more TV," Beavis said.

"Yeah, huh huh, TV," Butthead said.

"What do you guys like to watch?" Joey asked.

"Infomercials and music videos," Beavis said. By now, Joey was convinced that Beavis and Butthead were total morons. He thought that they seemed to have many social problems and other issues as well. He wouldn't be surprised if they were dropouts.

"Hey, let's go to Mr. Anderson's house," Butthead said. "Huh huh."

"Who's Mr. Anderson?" asked Joey.

"That old guy that lives next door," Beavis said. "Heh heh heh heh," he snickered.

Joey followed Beavis and Butthead next door to Mr. Anderson's house. They waited on his sidewalk. Mr. Anderson was still cutting his grass. "Hey, Mr. Anderson. Check this out. We met this new dude," Beavis said.

Mr. Anderson stopped his mower and walked over to Beavis, Butthead, and Joey. Mr. Anderson looked a lot like Hank Hill from the TV show King of the Hill except he was bald, a little fatter, and looked older. He also wore a hat. "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the mower. What were you saying?" he asked. His voice even resembled Hank's voice as well.

"Heh heh," Beavis said. "We met some new dude. Heh heh heh."

"Yeah…huh huh huh huh," Butthead said.

"Well, what's your name, boy?" Mr. Anderson asked.

"Joey," Joey said.

"Well, Joey, you seem like a fine young fellow. Maybe you ought to teach these two idiots some manners. Why just last week, Beehive and Bunghead, or whatever they call themselves, were stealing spray-paint from my tool shed and using it to spray their hair!"

"I'll try, sir," Joey said. Beavis and Butthead dragged Joey back to Beavis's house.

Chapter 3: The Truck Ride

Beavis, Butthead, and Joey were back at Beavis's house. They were all bored and did not know what to do.

"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Joey asked.

"Nothing, I guess. Huh huh," Butthead said.

"Yeah. Heh heh heh," Beavis agreed.

"How about going for a ride in my truck?" Joey asked.

"Uh…okay. Huh huh," Butthead said.

The three boys went back outside to Joey's truck. "How are you supposed to get up there?" Beavis asked.

"Huh, you said 'up there'," chuckled Butthead.

"Shut up, bunghole!" Beavis said, and shoved him.

"Don't push me," Butthead said, shoving Beavis.

"Guys, stop. All you have to do is climb up the tire treads, and then, you'll get to the cab," Joey said, getting on the other side of the truck. He climbed up the tire treads and made it to the top of the tire. He opened the truck door and climbed inside the truck. Joey then shut the truck door and scooted over to the side to open the door for Beavis and Butthead. Beavis and Butthead eventually made it up, and they climbed into the truck interior. Butthead shut the door.

The inside of the truck was dark brown, and the upholstery was badly falling apart. Some sections were even stapled back in place. The steering wheel had a cow leather cover, and there were fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror, which was not adjusted properly.

Joey started the truck, and the truck made a very loud noise. It was so loud that it was impossible to hear anything but the motor. Joey shifted gears, and the truck made even more noise. Lots of smoke bellowed out from behind. Joey then mashed the accelerator, and the truck screeched and took off.

"Huh huh. This is cool," Butthead said.

"And it gets even cooler," Joey said. Joey switched some gears, and suddenly, the truck popped a wheelie.

"Whoa. That was cool. Huh huh," Butthead said.

"Yeah," Beavis said. "Heh heh."

Joey turned on the C.B. radio that dangled from the ceiling, and he picked up the microphone. "This is Trucker Joe calling the Hot Wheeler. I'm about to put the hammer down and shift the large car into big hole," Joey said.

"Heh heh, he said 'big hole'," Beavis snickered.

"Shut up, dumba$$!" Butthead said.

"Yeah, anyway, Hot Wheeler, I got two guys riding with me in my large car," Joey said.

"That's a 10-4, Trucker Joe," a fuzzy voice said.

"Yeah, I'm about to make this a triple digit ride," Joey said. "I'm going to back out." Joey turned off his C.B. radio, and then, he shifted the gear, which made a loud clunking noise when it shifted to the highest gear. The truck roared louder than ever before, and Joey mashed the accelerator. Beavis and Butthead watched the speedometer as the truck went from 70 to 80 to 90, to 100, and finally, to 110.

Beavis and Butthead suddenly played the air guitar. "Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh! Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh! Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh!"

As Joey drove, he nearly crunched some cars and houses that were in his path. Joey was aware of that. "I'd better stop and drive back," he said, immediately slowing his speed and going back to Beavis's house. Then, when they got back, Beavis, Butthead, and Joey jumped out of the truck and crashed on the ground. They remained there for a while, but got up later and went inside the house.

A/N: Sorry that the third chapter was a little boring and pointless. There may be a few chapters that are like that, but I'll try to keep the storyline flowing. Anyway, this is the chapter where Beavis and Butthead start to train Joey to be like them. Reviews are welcome!

Chapter 4: Staying For the Night

"Well, what do you guys want to do now?" Joey asked Beavis and Butthead.

"Let's like do supper and stuff," Butthead said.

"Yeah. Heh heh," Beavis said. "You'll like what's for dinner. Heh heh." Beavis wandered off into the rickety kitchen, and Butthead and Joey followed. Joey seemed shocked at the appearance of the kitchen. The tiles were torn up, and some were ripped out. The cabinets were disintegrating, and one of the windows was broken. Old paper plates, pizza boxes, and paper cups were scattered all through the kitchen. There wasn't a trashcan to be seen. The appliances were covered with dried mud, or at least that's what Joey thought…

"Uh, I'm not trying to be rude, but don't you guys take care of this place? It's a mess," Joey said.

"Cleaning up sucks," Butthead said.

"Yeah. Heh heh," Beavis said, "so we just throw everything on the ground and poop on it."

"That's disgusting," Joey said, making a disgusted face. "I'm not so sure I want to eat here. I'm just going to go out and get a pizza," Joey said as he started to head out the door.

"No, dumb$$," Butthead said, holding Joey back. "Eat with us. Beavis is going to serve us a good dinner."

Beavis opened one of the top cabinets and threw down three bags of Cheeto's. "There's dinner. I'll get the drinks in a moment," he said. Beavis took out three paper cups, but he suddenly made a mad dash for the bathroom.

Joey looked at the design of the Cheeto's bags. He had not seen designs like that in years. He looked for the expiration date. He saw that the expiration date was December 27, 1991.

"Hey, Butthead, these bags are nearly 15 years old!" Joey said.

"Yeah, so?" Butthead said. "Huh huh."

"For goodness sakes, eat something that's not so stale! Why do you have old food lying around?" Joey asked.

"Uh…I don't know. Huh huh," Butthead said.

Beavis came back into the kitchen with the paper cups. "Okay, who wants lemonade? Heh heh."

"Beavis…you didn't pee in that did you?" Joey asked.

"Uh…heh heh…maybe," Beavis said.

"That's it, I'm going out for a pizza," Joey said. Beavis and Butthead grabbed him.

"We're going to train you to be like us," Beavis said.

"Why?" asked Joey.

"Because you'll learn how much fun you'll have!" Beavis said.

"Yeah…whatever," Joey said. He reluctantly decided to let them train him just to see how far they would push him.

"Okay, now drink this," Beavis said, holding the paper cup in front of Joey. Joey shut his eyes and pretended that he was on Fear Factor. He slowly let the "drink" slide down his throat. It was the most disgusting thing he ever drank.

"Okay, dude, you're one step closer to becoming like us," Butthead said. Joey sighed. He wasn't so sure that he wanted to be like them.

"Now, the next step is to eat these old Cheeto's with us while watching infomercials," Beavis said, taking his bag into the living room. Butthead and Joey followed Beavis and sat down on the couch. Joey sat in between Beavis and Butthead. Joey reluctantly chewed on one of the ancient Cheeto's. They were stale, but they weren't nearly as bad as he expected. He ate another one. Then, he consumed even more. He actually was beginning to like them. He scarfed the whole bag of them down his throat. He burped loudly.

"Wow," Butthead said. "This is the coolest thing that's ever happened to us."

"Hey, Butthead, look at that," Beavis said. "Heh heh heh heh." He pointed to the TV. There was an infomercial advertising exercise equipment. "Look at that hot babe! Bo-oi-oi-oi-oing!"

Butthead said, "Boing!" as well.

Suddenly, Beavis and Butthead stared at Joey, as if they were waiting for him to do the same. Finally, Joey said, "Boing!" as well.

"Great job, dude. You're finally starting to openly express your feelings," Butthead said.

"Yeah, but it's kind of embarrassing," Joey said. "Shouldn't it be private?"

"Shut up and follow our lead. That's the only way you're going to score," Beavis said.

"Have either of you ever scored?" Joey asked.

"The only reason we haven't is because girls are too awed by our coolness that they think we're like too good for them," Butthead said. Joey rolled his eyes.

Suddenly, Beavis started to engulf more Cheeto's. He ate more and more, and then, he started gulfing down Butthead's Cheeto's. "Those are mine, $$ wipe!" Butthead said. But Beavis didn't listen. He kept eating.

Finally, he pulled his shirt over his head, and he shouted, "I AM CORNHOLIO! I NEED TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE!"

"Dude, what is your problem?" Joey asked.

"ARE YOU THREATENING ME?" shouted Cornholio.

"Settle down, Beavis. Huh huh," Butthead said.

"Bunghole, bunghole, bunghole, would you like to see my bunghole? TP. You will give me TP. Do not make my bunghole angry. Do you have any olio? For I am the great Cornholio. Nicaragua! I AM CORNHOLIO!" howled Beavis. Beavis suddenly ran off outside.

Joey turned to Butthead. "What's wrong with Beavis?"

"He turns into Cornholio when he eats a lot of sugar. Huh huh huh huh huh," Butthead said.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha, cool, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha," Joey said, snickering like Beavis and Butthead.

"Whoa, that was cool! You're turning into us! I like your laugh. Do it again," Butthead said.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha," Joey snickered rapidly.

"We ought to make you part of our group. We can call you…Bunghole," Butthead said. "Huh huh huh huh. Let's like, sleep on the couch, or something."

Butthead and Bunghole fell asleep on the couch while Beavis was still running around outside screaming for TP for his bunghole. Butthead and Bunghole slept during the night, and Beavis fell asleep on top of Mr. Anderson's tool shed.

Chapter 5: Bunghole Goes to School

The next day was Sunday, but for some reason, Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole (Joey) didn't wake up. Perhaps they were too tired from the bizarre occurrences from the day before. Nevertheless, they slept on Sunday, and they woke up again on Monday, just in time for school.

Beavis had gotten over his "Cornholio" stage at this point, and he looked around in shock and wondered why he was atop Mr. Anderson's tool shed. He quickly jumped down and ran off before Mr. Anderson saw him, if he hadn't seen him already. Beavis ran back to his house, where he saw Butthead and Bunghole (Joey) sleeping.

"Hey, Butthead, Joey, wake up!" Beavis shook them both.

Butthead slowly woke up. "Don't touch me, a$$ wipe," he said groggily.

Bunghole (Joey) woke up as well. "What is it, Beavis?"

"I heard that Kimberly's going to school today. Heh heh," Beavis said.

"So?" Butthead said.

"Let's go to school so we can like…see her and stuff. Heh heh heh heh heh," Beavis said.

"Oh yeah. Huh huh huh huh huh," Butthead said.

"Ha ha ha ha ha," Bunghole (Joey) laughed.

"I like your laugh, dude," Beavis said to Bunghole.

"Yeah. Huh huh. He's part of our group now. His name is Bunghole," Butthead said. "Now all we have to do is get him a heavy metal T-shirt, and he'll be complete."

The three of them snickered as they walked out of the house and went to the bus stop, which was at the nearest intersection a few houses down from Beavis's house. They snickered constantly without giving it up. The other students waiting at the bus stop were getting very annoyed by all the pointless snickering.

"Guys, shut up!" one student said. "Who's that new dude?"

"This is Bunghole. Heh heh heh," Beavis snickered.

"Hey. I'm Bunghole. Ha ha ha ha," Joey said.

The other students seemed freaked out, and they just did their best to ignore the trio. Soon, the bus arrived, and everyone boarded.

"Hey, Butthead, Bunghole, let's sit by Kimberly in the back," Beavis said. "Heh heh heh heh heh."

The trio walked to the back of the bus and gathered around Kimberly, who was wearing a pretty yellow blouse. They snickered as they gazed at her. Kimberly realized that she was being watched, and so she looked around and jumped when she saw Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole staring and snickering at her.

"What is wrong with you idiots?" she snapped. "Why can't you just leave me alone and act like human beings?"

"Uh…I don't know," Butthead said. "Huh huh."

"Hey, you're that dude I saw yesterday," Kimberly said to Bunghole. "What's your name?"

"My name is Bunghole. Ha ha ha," Joey snickered.

Kimberly sighed. "I've had it with you guys."

Stewart suddenly came up to Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole. "Hey, guys. I'm sorry that I couldn't hang out with you yesterday. I was with my buds in the youth group. Hey, I see you've got a new friend in your crew. What's your name?" Stewart said.

"Bunghole. Ha ha ha," Joey snickered hysterically.

"I can see you fit right in," Stewart sighed, taking a seat away from the trio. Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole snickered the rest of the way to school.

Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole got off the bus and entered the mid-sized school called Highland High. Highland High had a median with green grass and bushes in the center of the pavement with the school sign and American flag. The school itself was painted yellow and had a lot of windows. There were several sidewalks that led to the cement staircase.

Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole walked down the hall to their homeroom class with Mr. Van Driessen. Beavis and Butthead took their seats in the back of the room as usual, but Bunghole was out of luck. "Where am I going to sit?" asked Bunghole (Joey).

"Uh…just get Kimberly's desk and drag it back here," Butthead said. "Uh huh huh huh."

"Yeah. Heh heh. That way, she'll have to sit on her butt, and we can get a closer look at it," said Beavis.

Instantly, the three of them started snickering, and Bunghole dragged the desk back with Beavis and Butthead. Bunghole took a seat, and they continued to snicker. At that moment, a girl with dark brown hair and glasses turned around and looked at the trio with a serious face. "You guys will never learn. You should just grow up."

"Daria, you'll never score. Uh huh huh," Butthead said.

Kimberly walked into the room and noticed that her desk was gone. She went up to Mr. Van Driessen. "Mr. Van Driessen, my desk is gone," she said.

Mr. Van Driessen stood up. "Class, may I have your attention for a moment, please?" he asked. The class slowly stopped talking, but many kept chattering. "Excuse me, class? Just a minute of your time, please?" The class stopped talking. "Thank you. Does anybody know where Kimberly's desk is?" Nobody seemed to know. Just then, Mr. Van Driessen spotted Joey in the back of the classroom. "Wait a minute, who's that young man back there?"

"This is Bunghole!" announced Beavis. "Eh heh heh heh."

"That's right," Joey said. "I'm Bunghole!"

"Well…Bunghole…can you give Kimberly her desk back?" Mr. Van Driessen asked.

"Uh…no," Joey said. "Beavis, Butthead, and I want to see her butt."

"What?" snapped Kimberly.

"Come on, guys, let Kimberly have her desk back. If you don't I'll be forced to send the three of you to the principal," Mr. Van Driessen said.

"Going to the principal is fun. Mr. McVicar is always easy to push around. Heh heh," Beavis snickered.

"Yeah, just give us some detention. We don't care," Bunghole said.

The next thing they knew, Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole were sitting in front of Principal McVicar and snickering their heads off.

"Y-you know, I've had enough of t-this behavior!" stuttered McVicar. "And who's this? I've never even seen him here before. It looks like you've corrupted another perfectly good member of society!"

"Uh…why are you all twittery and stuff? Ha ha ha ha ha," Bunghole said.

McVicar struggled to think of a comeback, and Butthead said, "He's always like that. It just makes it more fun to tease him. Huh huh."

"Yeah, let's just leave school and go to the arcade or something," Beavis said. The three of them walked out of the principal's office.

"Uhhhh…uhhhh…get back here! All of you!" McVicar said.

The boys just ignored him, though, and left the school. They all snickered…that is until they ran into Bradley Buzzcut!

Chapter 6: Vandalism

"Just what the h-ll do you delinquents think you're doing?" shouted Buzzcut.

"Uh…we're like, ditching school, and stuff, I guess," Butthead said. "Uh huh huh huh huh."

"Yeah. Heh heh. We're just going to the arcade," Beavis said. Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole walked away from Bradley Buzzcut.

"Get your sorry a$$es back here at once!" he shouted.

"No way, we've got better things to do," Beavis said. "Heh heh." They all walked off, and then, they began running just in case Buzzcut ran after them, which he did.

"Get back here!" shouted Buzzcut. But the trio did not listen to him. They kept running for the arcade. Suddenly, they came to an intersection. Many cars were traveling in the opposite direction of the crosswalk. The "don't walk" sign was lit.

"Hey, Beavis, Butthead, let's jump on one of those cars and see if we can lose him," Bunghole (Joey) said.

"Huh huh, good thinking, Bunghole," Butthead said.

"I don't know, guys. Heh heh. Those cars are pretty fast," Beavis stated.

"Don't be a wuss, Beavis," Butthead said.

"Let's just jump across real fast," Bunghole said. He tried it himself, but it did not work quite as well as he planned. He skidded off the roof of the car and landed in the street right in front of another car that was speeding toward him. "Aagh!" Bunghole yelled. He quickly got up and darted across the road. As the car screeched to a stop, Beavis and Butthead darted across quickly too. Unfortunately for Buzzcut, the car moved again after Beavis and Butthead crossed. The trio had successfully escaped Buzzcut. Now, they were on their way to the arcade.

The inside of the arcade was dark, and the only things that lit it up were the glowing lights of the games. "What should we do first? Heh heh?" Beavis asked.

"Let's play the Atari racing game thing," Butthead said. "Huh huh. That's always fun."

"Me first. Ha ha," Bunghole said. "I've never played here before."

"No way, a$$ wipe," Butthead said. "I'm going first."

"Hey, no fair. You went first last time!" Beavis said. "Nobody's playing first except me!"

"Oh yeah?" Butthead said. "Last time we were here, you hogged all my turns."

As Beavis and Butthead were arguing, Bunghole (Joey) sneaked away and inserted two quarters. He was excited as he floored the car and made it go faster and faster. Of course, it wasn't anywhere near exciting as it was for him to drive his truck. When the game ended, Bunghole turned and noticed that Beavis and Butthead were still arguing. From what he could tell, they were now arguing about who was taller and who weighed more. Obviously, they'd forgotten all about the game, so Bunghole took advantage of the opportunity to play games until he was gamed out.

Seven hours later, Bunghole decided to stop playing, and he saw that Beavis and Butthead were slapping the heck out of each other while snickering. "Hey, are you guys still mad? Ha ha," Bunghole said.

"No, we just do this after we stop arguing. Huh huh," Butthead said, slapping Beavis in the nose. A bit of blood came out of Beavis's nose.

"Aagh! A nose bleed!" Beavis said.

"Huh huh. Remember the last time you had a nose bleed? I actually went out to the store and gave this hot chick a quarter and asked her to buy you a tam…" Butthead started to say, when he noticed that Bunghole was standing by the door. "What are you doing over there? Huh huh," Butthead asked Bunghole.

"Let's vandalize Anderson's house. Ha ha," Bunghole said.

"Yeah. Heh heh. Good idea," Beavis said, wiping the blood off. Then, the trio walked out of the dark arcade and walked down the street and went to Mr. Anderson's house. They saw through the windows that he was inside watching TV.

"While he's not looking, let's throw toilet paper over the roof," Butthead said.

Beavis rushed back to the house and got several rolls of toilet paper. Then, the trio began to cake Anderson's house with toilet paper. They spent about an hour doing so, and then, they stopped. They were glad Mr. Anderson hadn't caught them yet.

"Let's ring his doorbell, stand there when he opens it, and then, we take off running," Bunghole said. "Ha ha."

"Yeah, heh heh, good idea," Beavis said. The trio walked to the doorstep and rang the doorbell. They waited for Mr. Anderson to greet them. When he finally answered the door, the boys stood there long enough for him to see them. Then, about a second later, they took off running. Only Mr. Anderson was too quick for them.

"Now, wait just a durn minute!" Mr. Anderson roared, grabbing the boys by their shirts. "What in the h-ll did you do to my house? And why ain't you boys in school?"

"School sucks. Huh huh," Butthead said.

"Well I'm going to make sure you guys get it!" Mr. Anderson said, dragging them into his house. "I'm going to call your school and let them know you skipped." Beavis and Butthead glared at Bunghole (Joey) because if it weren't for him, they would not have been caught. Mr. Anderson dialed the school after looking it up in the phone book.

"Nice move, butt wipe," Butthead said, smacking Bunghole.

"Yeah, now we're in trouble!" Beavis said, also slapping Bunghole. "You're not in our group anymore. Go back to the South or wherever you came from."

"Yeah, you don't belong here anymore," Butthead said. Joey hung his head shamefully as Mr. Anderson complained to the school, and Beavis and Butthead glared at him.

Chapter 7: Detention

Later that same day, Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole (Joey) sat in desks in the detention room with their archenemy, Bradley Buzzcut. The boys were seated far away from each other. Beavis sat to the left, Butthead sat to the right, and Bunghole sat in the back. It wouldn't have mattered where they sat anyway, though, because Beavis and Butthead no longer wanted to have anything to do with Bunghole (Joey).

"So, you delinquents thought you could escape Bradley Buzzcut, did you? Well, you were wrong. Far from right. In my class, you are going to learn the meaning of the word DISCIPLINE," he emphasized. "For a whole hour, you idiots cannot utter a word, and if you do, I'll make you wax the floors in the whole school! After that hour, you will then wash the desks in this room and scrub the floor in this room. So starting now, no talking until I say otherwise!"

Buzzcut sat at his desk and began to read a book about the Marines. Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole were not going to survive. They had to utter something. They couldn't keep quiet for long. Suddenly, Beavis and Butthead heard a whisper from the back of the room. "Penis," the whisper said.

Beavis and Butthead glanced up at Buzzcut, who seemed to be paying no attention at all. In fact, he might have even been sleeping. Butthead whispered, "Penis." Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole started snickering quietly.

"Penis," Beavis said a little bit louder. The boys all began to snicker a little bit louder when they realized that Buzzcut was not listening to them.

"Penis," Bunghole said a little bit louder.

"Penis," Beavis said, almost in a normal tone of voice.

"Penis," Butthead said, nearly yelling it.

"Penis!" shouted Beavis at the top of his lungs. Butthead and Bunghole burst out in laughter. Despite that, Buzzcut did not move. Obviously, he was sound asleep.

"Hey, Bunghole, that was great. You're back in the crew again, man. You just made detention fun! Heh heh," Beavis said.

"I'm going to try something," Bunghole said, walking up to Buzzcut. He yelled, "PENIS!" in his ear.

Buzzcut suddenly woke up. Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole ran off. "Hey!" snapped Buzzcut. "Get your tails back in here! Okay, that's it! You guys are going to scrub the floors of the whole school!" He grabbed them all by the shirts. "I told you no talking, and I meant that! Now you'll have to scrub the floors!"

"Uh…no. That's like, hard, and stuff," Butthead said.

"Ha ha, you said 'hard'," Bunghole said.

"Shut up!" Buzzcut said. "Wax the floors, or I'll enlist you in the Marines! Waxing the floors is a picnic in the park compared to what the Marines will do to ya!"

"All right, all right," Butthead groaned. "We'll scrub your stupid floors." He and Beavis glared at Bunghole again. It looked like Bunghole was out of the crew for sure now. The trio scrubbed and washed the floors in the school for hours and hours at a time. Buzzcut watched them with his arms crossed the entire time. At last, they were through. It was night by the time they were through.

"Now get your sorry butts back home now!" shouted Buzzcut, pointing toward the exit. Beavis, Butthead, and Bunghole wearily trudged out the exit. Scrubbing the floors was a really tiring task for them. Their clothes and hair were drenched with sweat. Beavis and Butthead turned to Bunghole and gave him a hard stare.

"You just made us work hard," Butthead said angrily. "We could have gotten off easy if you hadn't shouted in Buzzcut's ear."

"You know what? I think you guys are just juvenile delinquents. I've had my fun while staying here, but I'm heading back home. Y'all are just creeps that will never grow up," Joey said. He stormed off and headed back to his truck, which was back at Beavis's house.

"Wait, Bunghole, we'll give you another chance!" Beavis shouted.

"The name's Joey," Joey said, getting in his truck and accelerating out of the neighborhood.

"His visit was very strange," Butthead said.

"Yeah. Heh heh," Beavis said. The two of them sauntered into the house to watch more infomercials.

Although Dusknoir has no legs, it can learn Mega Kick because its pre-evolution has legs and is therefore able to learn it by move tutor in the Generation III games. Dusclops can then be transferred to the Generation IV games and evolved into Dusknoir. As a Duskull, it had no legs. It gained some as a Dusclops, but loses them as a Dusknoir. The opposite happens for its arms. Duskull has arms, loses them as Dusclops, and gains them back as Dusknoir.

Plot

Eric wanted to go to Pizza Hut but his mom said no because they were having bagels. Fortunately, their dad informs them that he doesn't have the recipe to make the bagels so they can go to Pizza Hut. Eric orders spaghetti but his mom orders 10 meaty marinara pastas. Eric tells her that he cannot afford that much so he offers her 8 instead. To this, his mom tells him to engage him scaring away Phil DeVille and Kimi Finster. Then, she engages Pizza Hut. As the Cook family watch the news at a nearby house, they notice that Eric's mom didn't get what she wanted and to this, she destroyed Pizza Hut.

Transcript

Eric: Hey mom!

Mom: What is it Eric?

Eric: Can we go to Pizza Hut?

Mom: No, because we're having bagels.

Eric: I want Pizza Hut ! I want Pizza Hut! I want Pizza Hut! I want Pizza Hut! I want Pizza Hut! I want Pizza Hut! I want Pizza Hut! Now now now now now now now!

Dad (offscreen): Hey Kimberly, I don't have the stuff to make the bagels.

Mom: Did you hear that, your dad says that he doesn't have the recipe to make the bagels so this means we can go to Pizza Hut. Happy now.

Eric: Yay!

Mom: Let's take the subway train.

Eric: Why?

Mom: Because, on my way home from work, my car broke down and it costs $1000 to pay the damages. I don't have that much.

(after they took the train)

Clerk: Welcome to Pizza Hut. What would you want?

Eric: I would like spaghetti.

Mom: I would like 10 meaty marinara pastas.

Eric: Excuse me mom, I only have $20. The food items you want are a total of $33. How about 8 meaty marinara pasta instead?

Mom (Kidaroo voice): NO WAY, I WANTED 10 MEATY MARINARA PASTAS AND THAT'S FINAL!

Eric: Mom, stop being a brat. You can either have 8 meaty marinara pastas or nothing.

Mom (Kidaroo voice): WE CAN GO TO WATANABE JEWELERS TO GET A DIAMOND RING SO THAT WAY YOU WON'T HAVE TO ENGAGE ME!

Eric: Mom, don't talk to me like that! Now, Phil DeVille and Kimi Finster are staring at us.

Mom (Kidaroo voice): SO YOU REALLY WANT TO ENGAGE ME! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO, GO AHEAD MY FINGER IS UP! ENGAGE ME, ENGAGE ME, ENGAGE ME, ENGAGE ME, ENGAGE ME, ENGAGE ME, ENGAGE ME RIGHT HERE AT PIZZA HUT!

Phil DeVille: Kimi, I think we should get out of here!

Kimi Finster: Yes, Phil, I won't expect to see a mother trying to engage her own son.

Mom (Kidaroo voice): SO YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE ENGAGING ME! FINE! I WILL ENGAGE PIZZA HUT!

Clerk: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Tiffany: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah......

Ryan: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Samantha: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Mom (Kidaroo voice): GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Eric (Scary voice): Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!

(Diesel's voice) You are going to get something, which is nothing.

Mom (Kidaroo voice): NO NO NO NO NO! I WILL BEHAVE.

(cuts outside as the place is on fire)

(back on subway train)

Mom (Kidaroo) WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Eric (Diesel's voice): Mom, stop crying like a baby. This is all your own fault.

Mom: All I wanted was 10 meaty marinaras but I didn't get any. That is why I had to ask you to engage me.

Eric (Diesel's voice): No, the reason why you didn't get 10 meaty marinaras was because they were too freaking expensive. I offered you 8 meaty marinaras instead but no. You destroyed Pizza Hut and I believe we're going to end up on the news.

Mom: I'm sorry.

Eric (Diesel's voice): Sorries won't work at a time like this. You have gotten us into a nation of trouble. You even scared away Phil DeVille and Kimi Watanabe-Finster because of your attitude.

Mom: I'm really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really sorry. Can we at least go back to Pizza Hut and get 8 meaty marinaras?

Eric (Diesel's voice): No, you have destroyed Pizza Hut and we are going to end up on the news.

(At Warren's house)

Warren's Dad: What do you want to watch?

Warren: The news.

Warren's mom: Good idea.

Warren's brother: I wonder what could be on the news.

Warren's sister: Let's find out.

News Anchor: Good evening.I'm Ivy Alison. Our top story is that a mother called Kimberly didn't get what she wanted and she destroyed Pizza Hut. With me is Caroline0204 live with the scene. Can you hear me please?

Caroline0204: Yes, I can hear you. Let's show you the inside of the destroyed place.

(In Pizza Hut)

Caroline0204: As you can see, the food is soiled. The counter is broken apart. With me is the clerk of Pizza Hut. Can you tell me what happened?

Clerk: I was taking orders from the customers. When Eric's mom came up, she wanted 10 meaty marinara pastas but her son said that it cost too much. He offered her 8 instead but no, she destroyed my counter and the place as well.

Caroline0204: Thank you. Right now, I have two victims, Phil DeVille and his girlfriend Kimi Finster.

Tell me what happened.

Phil DeVille: My girlfriend Kimi and I wanted to get some food at Pizza Hut but when we got there, there was this mother who got into a fit. She pointed her finger at her son as if she wanted to marry him. We had to escape right now.

Kimi Finster: What is wrong with mothers these days?

Ivy Alison: Right now, we have two visitors. Eric and his mom. Eric, do you have something to say?

Eric (Diesel's voice): My mom pointed her finger at me as if she wanted to marry me. This is crazy.

Mom: It's not my fault. I didn't get what I wanted.

Eric (Diesel's voice): Shut up mom, if you hadn't pointed your finger at me or destroyed the place, none of this would have happened.

Mom: I told him I was really really really really really really really sorry. I even asked him if we should go back and get the 8 meaty marinara pastas but no, now I'm grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, gounded, grounded, grounded.

Eric (Diesel's voice): She will not ground me, she will not make fake VHS openings, she will not use the computer, she will not watch Rugrats/All Grown Up and she will not go swimming. When we get home, she'll get grounded even more. I'm so done with this, let's get going.

(at home)

Dad: Kimberly, why are you crying? Please don't tell me you caused trouble.

Mom: Well, you will blow up. I destroyed Pizza Hut all because I didn't get what I wanted. I wanted to get 10 meaty marinara pastas but my son said that it was too expensive. Now I'm banned from coming to Pizza Hut forever.

Dad: Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh! How dare you destroy Pizza Hut! You know that type of stuff can get us arrested!

That's it, you're the first wife to ever be grounded! You're grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded, grounded for 4 years!

Get to your room now!

(at beach)

Phil DeVille: I'm sorry that we had to experience such a big mess at Pizza Hut.

Kimi Finster: It's okay, Phil. We should have went there early before Eric's mom destroyed Pizza Hut.

Phil DeVille: Well, now what do you want to do?

Kimi Finster: I don't know. What do YOU want to do?

Phil DeVille: Let's go swimming.

LucarioI chose Lucario because I think the film it stars in is my favourite of all of the films.

Lucario is a dual-type Fighting/Steel Pokémon. It evolves from Riolu via happiness during the day.

Species: Aura Pokemon Height: 3'11’’ (1.2m) Weight: 119lbs (54kg) Gender ratio: 87.5% male; 12.5% female

Biology

Lucario is a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon that’s around four feet in height. Lucario’s forepaws are black and have one white spike on each arm on the upper-side of its wrists. In addition, there’s a third spike on Lucario’s chest. Lucario’s snout and ears have also grown longer since its evolution from Riolu. Lucario also has a furry yellow torso, and its thighs are in the shape of what looks like blue shorts. Also, Lucario stands on the balls of its feet, rather than on its entire foot.

Lucario are sensitive to a special type of energy called Aura. Lucario can study these waves to predict the movements of their opponents, and use them to track anyone. They can also guide the waves offensively to create explosive balls of Aura energy (such as Aura Sphere, one of only two non-legendaries to learn that move). Lucario are also able to understand human speech; some people say that Lucario can also speak it, though only one has reportedly done so, and through telepathy.

Behaviour

Lucario are considered to be prideful creatures, and are extremely loyal to their trainers. Lucario also seem to have a natural sense of justice.

Habitat

Lucario usually live deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Therefore, like Milotic and Togekiss, they are some of the rarest non-legendary Pokémon known, and finding a wild Lucario is excruciatingly difficult.

Type effectiveness

Weak to: Fighting; Ground; Fire Resistant against: Normal; Rock; Bug; Ghost; Steel; Grass; Ice; Dragon; Dark Unaffected by: Poison Damaged normally by: Flying; Water; Electric; Psychic

Trivia •Lucario’s English name, which is unchanged from the Japanese version, was revealed on February 9, 2006 with the announcement of the title of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. •Lucario is the only Pokémon other than the Cubone evolutionary family to learn a bone-based move. •Before Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were released, many believed Lucario to be a legendary Pokémon, based on its starring role in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. This has since been proven untrue, as it is readily available in the Generation IV games, is under ownership by NPCs, and even evolves from a Pokémon, Riolu. •This makes it the second non-legendary Pokémon to be in a central role in a Pokémon movie, the first being Unown.

•In Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Lucario is the only one out of three Gem Guardians that is not a legendary Pokémon. •Three important, non-playable characters in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum own a Lucario: Maylene, Riley, and Cynthia. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Bruno has a Lucario after the player defeats Red. •Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion who uses a Lucario, wears hairbands that strongly resemble Lucario’s “Aura Sensors”. •Lucario can learn damaging moves from 15 of the 17 elemental types. The only types that Lucario can’t learn are Grass-type and Flying-type, with the exception of Hidden Power. •In Pokémon Battle Revolution, a Lucario Costume is seen, worn by Dusty. •Both of Lucario’s abilities relate to flinching. Steadfast makes Lucario faster when flinching, whilst Inner Focus protects it from it. •Due to this combination, Steadfast can only activate in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Sky if Lucario becomes cross-eyed. •Even though Bone Rush was originally Cubone/Marowak’s signature move, Lucario is the only Pokémon seen using it in the anime. •In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it should be noted that Lucario’s Final Smash resembles a Kamehameha of the Dragonball series fame. Intrestingly enough, Sean Schemmel, who voiced Lucario in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, also voiced Goku in the English dub of Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Kai. •Furthermore, Lucario’s shiny form, being golden in color, can be a parallel Goku’s gold-colored Super Saiyan form. •Also, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he is voiced by another person to have voiced Goku, Dan Green, who had also voiced Mewtwo, who Lucario replaced in Brawl, in Mewtwo Returns

•No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Lucario. •Lucario is the only Fighting-type Pokémon that receives double damage from Fighting-type moves. •It is also the only Fighting-type not weak to Flying- and Psychic-type (without being part Psychic-type itself) moves. •Lucario is the only Pokémon to have a double resistance to Dark-type attacks. •It is also one of two Pokémon that have a double resistance to Rock-type moves; the other is Steelix.

•Lucario is also the only Fighting-type Pokémon whose Special Attack stat surpasses its Attack. •Lucario is the only Pokémon that learns Dragon Pulse through leveling up who is not a Dragon-type or related to a Dragon-type. •Despite Aura Sphere being a Fighting-type move, Lucario is the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn this move, save for a Riolu from Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. •Lucario has the lowest Defense of all Steel-type Pokémon, tied with Magnemite. •Lucario, along with Poliwrath, are the only non-Psychic, Fighting-type Pokémon able to learn the move Psychic.

Origin

Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god Anubis, who has the head of a jackal. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. Boxing is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt. The black appendages on the back of its head are used to detect the Auras of creatures and objects around it. While Lucario reads Aura, it closes its eyes, and thus the appendages and the way they look “tied” around its face appear to be based on someone being blindfolded.

Name origin

Lucario’s name possibly derives from part of a Japanese spelling of oracle or orichalcum in reverse, reflecting its mythical design, its ability to see into the supernatural, and its Steel-type. It may also refer to Cairo, Egypt. The word pharaoh may also be involved.

Glitch City

While investigating the secrets of 'M and MissingNo, I received an email from Simon Ellis, who wrote of a 'secret city' in Pokemon known as "Glitch City". Here's what he wrote:

"You will never believe this when I tell you it, there is another city on Pokemon Red/Blue, and it is obviously called Glitch City. This strange city is the home to that evil MissingNo and M' came from. To get there go into the Safari Zone and go up to the house then back down out of the Safari Zone and say No to the question. Then go back out again and say No. Then save your game and turn it off. Then turn it back on and go out of the Safari Zone. This time the man won't ask you the question. Keeping going down until he asks you if you want to go in. Say No and go out the door. Next go to Cinnibar City and keep surfing on the coast for a little while then you'll hear Pa say Ding Dong. Then you will be tranported to the Safari Zone. Then go out and you'll be in Glitch City. You can catch high level Tentacools and Tentacruel here, and you can surf of the ground. But be careful, you can get trapped in here, well FOREVER. to get out just Fly out with one of your Pokemon."

Well, ok...

Intrigued by all these new reports (especially by information of a "glitched city", possible 'home' to our buddies MissingNo and 'M) I decided to fire up good old Pokemon Blue once again, this time on my brand-new Game Boy Advance. As much as I wanted to play my new Pokemon Crystal, I decided against it in the interest of research. So I tried this "Glitch City" trick by going to the Safari Zone, saving, and leaving. Feeling 500 Poke-bucks poorer, I headed off to Cinnabar for a bit of time-wasting Surfing.

Trial #1: "Glitch City"

Just as I was told, eventually I heard the "Ding-dong!" and found myself back in the Safari Zone entrance. But when I exited, everything was totally bizarre! First of all, the ground was made of pixels of the various graphics in the game. It was as if a little child had a big box of pixel pieces (which, when constructed properly, would form a normal Pokemon town) and dumped the box out on the floor. There were "parts" of houses everywhere, with the numbers 2 and 9 mixed in. Also appearing in place of normal paths, grass, and houses were the following symbols: a, t, k, the Poke-bucks symbol (like a P with lines through it) and /M. Hmm, M of all things. could this have any connection to the mysterious "glitch" Pokemon? I continued to explore the area as best I could. I found a tree and Cut it. but the tree didn't go away! Fishing with a Super Rod in the water, I battled a level 15 Shellder. Not too spectacular. Then I saw a "cave entrance". Where could it lead? I approached the "cave" but didn't go inside. In fact, once I stepped on the entrance space, I was stuck. I couldn't move anywhere!

Where am I?

Frustrated, I paused the game. and found myself totally surrounded by water! When I un-paused, I found that I could now Surf on the roads and walk on the water! It was tough to maneuver in this weird way, but it was possible. Then I battled a wild Tentacool. When the battled ended, I found myself totally surrounded by all water! Checking my map, I discovered that I was in an area to the right of Seafoam Islands. So I Surfed up and to the left. and found myself back in Glitch Town! When I "jumped down" from my Surfing, I became stuck, unable to move. Checking the map, I was now supposedly to the left of Seafoam Islands.

Confused, I shut the power off. Luckily, I'd saved right before all this, so I was right back in the Safari Zone when I turned the game back on. But now I was curious. I had visited Cinnabar right before being shipped off to Glitchy Town, might this have somehow affected the area I arrived in? What might happen if I explored other areas during my 500-step time limit?

Trial #2: Cycling Road

This time, I went to Cycling Road (don't ask me why, I suppose just because it was right there in Fuchsia). When my limit was up, and I got "Ding-dong!"-ed back to Safari Zone, I found myself in a different messed-up city! The "GYM" building was messed up, repeating the word GYM over and over again, but without a door, or the bottom of the building. When I tried to move, I found myself being pushed down, as if I was on a bicycle on the downhill Cycling Road! I was not on a bicycle, but the game thought I was, and wouldn't let me disembark! I couldn't Surf, but I could fish. hooking a level 15 Magikarp. Luckily, I could Fly out of there.

Trial #3: MissingNo + Glitch City

This time, I was starting to wonder what else I could mess with, so I decided to visit Mr. Coffee in Viridian, watch his demo, then Surf along the coast of Cinnabar (which I'm convinced is the Bermuda Triangle of the Pokemon World). Just as I'd planned, I ran into my old buddies 'M and MissingNo. This time, I had beaten the Elite Four a second time, so I quickly ran inside the PokeCenter to check out my Hall of Fame data. I wasn't surprised to see that the info was scrambled, but there were many new changes. For example, one (a Dragonair) had my character's name. Two other Pokemon (a Butterfree and a Wartortle) had ROCKET in their names. One Pokemon inside was always a Bird/Normal type, which makes me believe that this is "MissingNo" itself. the glitch Pokemon that uses Sky Attack and Water Gun. Also, for all the Pokemon in the registry, one of the pixels in that one's name was a pixel from that specific Pokemon! Ok, so maybe I overanalyzed the Hall of Fame data. But after my 500 steps ran out, I was transported back to Safari Zone, exiting to find myself back in the first "Glitch City" (the one with the cave). So much for that experiment.

Trial #4: Lavender Town Oddities

The next time I tried this trick, I went to Lavender Town. After messing around with the Lavender Tower (where I encountered "MissingNo" look-alikes) for 500 steps I was shipped back. and wound up exiting the house where Cubone is! There was no glitched city at all, just plain old Lavender Town. Hmm, maybe those ghosts in the tower negated any glitchy effects.?

Trial #5: Victory Road

Well, by this time the novelty had worn off and I was just about finished exploring the glitched aspects of Pokemon. For my final experiment, I headed off to Victory Road. 500 steps later, I found myself in a new Glitch City. one where my character was invisible! I couldn't Surf in this place. There were Japanese characters here too, which added to the oddness of the place.

Exact Path to Glitch City, Step-by-Step: 1.Enter the Safari Zone building. Pay $500 to join the hunt. Walk inside. 2.Once you are inside the park, turn around and walk back outside. You will be asked if you wish to stop early. Say no, and return to the park. 3.Once back inside the park, save your game. Turn the power off. 4.Turn the power back on. Walk back out of the Safari Zone. The man will not ask you if you're leaving early this time. Instead, he gives you the initial speech starting with, "Welcome to the Safari Zone!" Do not pay to return inside - instead, keep walking down past the man, and out the door. 5.At this point, you have about 500 steps to waste by walking around. Where you choose to waste these steps will determine which Glitch City you visit, if any. For the "Forgotten Cave" GC, use your 500 steps to Surf along Cinnabar's coast (not walking on the island at all), or Surfing between Cinnabar and Seafoam. 6.When your 500 steps run out, the PA will say, "Ding-dong! Your Safari Game is over!" You will be transported back to the Safari Zone entrance. 7.When you leave the Safari Zone entrance, you will find yourself in Glitch City. If you used your 500 steps in an area with a major building (such as the land portion of Cinnabar Island, or any of the major cities). It's recommended that you use the 500 steps in one of the routes rather than a city - the Seafoam/Cinnabar coast seems to be the most interesting.

TR Rose's Image Collection

Exiting the Safari Zone - the trick begins While Surfing on Cinnabar Coast, the PA goes off  Welcome to Glitch City - filled with bits of buildings, 9s and 2s, and water  Uncutable Trees, freezing Caves, and part of Cycling Road? A row of half-houses and alternating rocks and water. Glitch City is a very strange place... ...that gets stranger still when you press Start. Look at that symbol - /M as a single block. What does it mean? Does it have to do with the glitch 'M? I can walk on water? Land-surfing below the mysterious cave entrance. Surfin' through the city! According to the TOWN MAP, I was in Seafoam all along. Huh?

So in conclusion? Another strange Pokemon trick to be sure, but there seem to be no beneficial effects from this glitch. But it is another inexplicable mystery of Pokemon! Nintendo seems to have worried about the Glitch City quirk, however. Did you know that the Safari Zone was originally going to be open in G/S/C? I've heard that if you look through the programming, there are Safari Zone map files. However, after Glitch City came to light, Nintendo removed the option to play the Safari Game - by even removing the door to the entrance!

Then from Ruby/Sapphire onward, the option to save inside the Zone was removed completely. A warden escorts you into the Safari Zone and blocks the way back until your time is up or you choose to retire early. You can't save inside the FR/LG Safari Zone either. Makes you wonder if there are actual game-damaging glitches found by accessing Glitch City. Perhaps just the fact that you can get stuck there forever without a Flying Pokemon.

Information on the original G/S Safari Zone (excerpted from http://magicstone.de/dzd/game_analysis_gs-beta.php)

"Pokémon G/S Safari Zone

Yes, the Safari Zone was once planned for G/S as well but removed for unknown reasons, maybe because of the nearing development deadline, maybe problems in implementing the Safari system into the game. This one leftover map can still be found in the final ROM of each language version, the offset for all of them being 0DD182h. The map can also still be found in Pokémon Crystal, offset there is 0B1182h. An indication for a late removement of the Safari Zone is the route connection house in Fuchisa City that, while not having a door, still has a warp to it's map. The warps there are working as well and bring you to the Safari Zone easily. But as you can see on the map on the left, the exit is missing. The warps themself are working too, but without a corresponding house or door only in one direction.

Original discoverer of G/S Safari Zone unknown, please let me know if you remember.

There are also several other beta maps in G/S, about 20 in total. This includes beta versions of pretty much every city in the Johto area, a few cavern and tower maps and a different Pokémon center. Sadly, informations and pictures of these aren't available at the moment."

From Jordan Lemin: "I decided to try Glitch City once. When I got there, I wasn't able too walk too far, so I left. Today I tried again, going to Cinnabar island. I walked around, and when I came out of the Safari Zone, I was in front of the Pokemart in (gosh) Cinnabar island. (Did MissingNO negate Glitch City?) I tried again, surfing right of Cinnabar. I went to the same Glitch City with a cave that you mentioned. I didn't have a pokemon with CUT so i didn't try cutting the trees.

"I explored the Cave Glitch City a long time. (After trying over and over to get there. I kept getting stuck.) The most interesting part was that eventually I was able to surf in water like normal. I surfed for about 2 minutes till i saw a normal wall, like the one on the right side of Cinnabar island. I went up to it, turned, but didn't go anywhere. I tryed to get away, but I couldn't. The music stopped. There was absolutely NO sound.

"Then I freaked out, as the game put me in another glitch worse than the City. Everything was streaked. the whole screen looked like the kind of pixels made of the MissingNO backwards L shape. The game wouldn't respond. I turned it off, then back on. I went IN the safari zone now, and fought an Exeggcute. I decided to leave. The guy asked me if I was leaving early. I said yes. I left, and entered Glitch City again. The one with the cave. I flew to Pallet town. Then I wondered how I went back to Glitch City. I flew to Fusha, thinking it might still be glitched, but it wasn't."

From SupperTails66: "First of all, I noticed that the glitch cities in the Yellow version are different from the Red/Blue ones. However, in Red/Blue and Yellow, the Cinnabar Glitch Cities (as in, the glitch city is found by surfing alongside Cinnibar) are very similar (the whole map registers as water if you go too far left, there is a "cave entrance" square, etc.).

"Second, in two glitch cities (the "original" Cinnibar one, and one I found in the area south of Cerulean City, I think), you can actually go OFF the playable map area... When you go too far left in the Cinnabar Glitch City, then the game suddenly registers the whole map as water... this is the reason why you can surf on the land once you go too far left. Also, the reason that parts of the land disappear when you go too far left, then surf away and come back is because the map's data is not actively updated. It's only updated when you can't see it. The game works this way because the programmers at Game Freak didn't even know of Glitch City's existence, and there's no other part of the game where you would see the map actively change...), then keep going north... this caused the game to freeze up momentarily, then the screen became blank except for a couple of scattered, glitched blocks and a short, high pitched noise played! At that point, the game freezes completely, and you have to restart. You can accomplish the same thing with a Game Shark code to "walk through walls" or "jump over everything". That's how I did it one other time, in Pewter City. I jumped onto the rock walls surrounding it, I went too far, and the EXACT same thing happened, except the glitched screen had blue lines on it. This might be possible in other glitch cities, too, but I was so freaked out the first time it happened, I didn't want to do it again.

"Oh, and in the Cinnabar Glitch City in Yellow, I found these weird white areas with jumbled text inside them. If I stepped into one, then came out, Pikachu wouldn't follow! He would become "trapped" in the white square. After walking around for a while, Pikachu would "break free" and start running around at twice the normal speed he goes when following you, trying to mimic all the moves I had made while he was in the white square! Eventually, going two times faster than you, he would catch up. I loved doing that little glitch, as it's pretty fun to watch. Another time, I found this area in one of Yellow's glitch cities where there was water that I could walk on (due to it registering as land), but it had grass on it, so it looked like Ash was swimming when I stepped on it! One final thing: it appears that in MOST (not all) areas with a building, if you do the Glitch City code there, you will come out of a building in that area... Actually, this may be the reason Glitch City occurs; the game can't figure out where to make you come out of, so it drops you in a junk location."

From shinylugia: "Well, I have been doing the glitch city trick a long time to figure out its secrets and I did, a bit of it. Do the normal one with Cinnabar. If you surf to the square of water, then inside it surf left, then turn right quickly, then all it is, is sea. Remember you have to go exactly 1 step. I tried surfing down, and found pillars, I paused and it showed trees. Now, I know my Gameboy Color is a bit nuts, but it keeps going wacko if I go too far down. For a second, literally, there is a screen with pixels all over the place and then it shuts down. Is Missingno. protecting the city?"

From White_Lightning/Neko Kit Su: "I'm gonna state what I think glitch city is about...

"This 'Glitch City' happens after you run out of time in some spots, I.E. Cinnabar and Bike Road, right? Well, my thoughts on it is that what happens is that it still has the data for Cinnabar/other area loaded, but tries and loads up the Safari Zone Entrance/Fushcia City, and utterly fails. Thus, creating that glitch world...

"O, I'd also like to share something else in this email. I found this a couple years back, but using a GameShark code(I'll get it to you later if you're interested) that gave me an item that allowed me to 'Walk through walls', and I did this in several spots. The first one I did was outside of Pewter City, going to Mt. Moon. I used said item, and walked up above the first female trainer for a while, then turned left for a step, then kept walking up... I ended up in a weird version of the Mt. Moon Entrance Area right outside the cave. There were no NPCs, I couldn't enter the Pokemon Center OR Mt. Moon, and it looked like a ghost town. I checked my stats for some reason, and my time went to 255:55...

"Next, I tried something similar(thought I forgot how) on the route going FROM Mt. Moon to Cerulean. I came into a similar situation, where the layout and everything was there, but you couldn't enter Mt. Moon and such. And you couldn't read the sign, either. The jumps didn't work, and, again, my time maxed out. I also don't remember if their was grass there, but I thought this might interest you..."

From Phantomness: cheat- Trial 1 Cinnabar Island

"I caught Nidorina, Rhyhorn, Nidorino on Cinnabar's coast.. I surfed on Cinnabar's coast and in the ocean until my time ran out. Then, I exited the Safari zone. But I couldn't move! It was like my character was trapped in an invisible little box or something like that. Bizzare, no? There were pieces of Celadon(?) all around, mixed with sixes, eights, nines, and sevens.

"Also twos, double trees, bits of piping, hedges, and houses! I didn't have a town map, so I couldn't see where I was. I tried to Surf but it said "No surfing on (pokemon's name) here!" Then I tried Strength but nothing happened. There wasn't anything to Cut! When I tried to Fly out, it said I was in Pallet Town! How bizarre is that?

Trial 2 Lavender Town

"Walked 32 steps in Safari zone. Saved. Turned it back on. Flew to Lavender. Walked around on the first floor of Lavender's pokemon tower. I wound up walking out of a house in Lavender town! The Cubone one. No glitchy effects here either."

From Nightmare Kong: "I just had this weird Glitch City thing. I did the Cinnibar island/safari zone thing and ended up in Glitch City. There was numbers above me and parts of doors/windows. I went right a found some plants. i cut them but they were still there. Then I went left and found this bridge thing I had to surf on and saw the cave underneath. I was still surrfing and I tried to go in but I went over it. I went to the right of the cave and it was all water. I surfed for quite a while, still not seeing anything and then I could surf no-further then the game froze and the picture glitched so I turned it off."

From Al: "I found a weird version of glitch city a LONG time ago be4 i lost my data. Here is how:

1. get a gameshark 2. use the hover code 3. Hover to the ever- tantalizing grass beside pallet town. 4. the screen goes "BEEEEEEEPPPPPP!" and fills up with strange pixels, as if you were looking @ a giant missingno, and you can see nothing else. 5. thev game freezes and the screen goes blank."

From Joanne Fenton: "I talked to the old man and went to safari zone with a missingno. the man who let's you in said:143rfy55t! %! my mouth droped to the floor! So I wen to gich city and immedeatly fought myself! I was a wild pokemon and attacked withx4 solarbeams. I then won and flew out. Crazy huh?"

From CS: "I did the Glitch City cheat on my Yellow version, and since I am not far enough in the game to do the Cinnibar Island version of the cheat, I went to Cycling Road (the Bike Path) instead. I did everything and when I walked out of the Safari Zone I couldn't move in any direction. I tried to get on the bicycle to see if I could move that way, but when I clicked on it it said something like "Cycyling is fun!" (the normal thing it says when you try to get off the bike on cycling road) indicating that I was still on the bike. Since I couldn't move I switched off and then switched on my gameboy.

"I tried the cheat again, this time I went to Pallet town instead. When I came out of the safari zone building I (again) couldn't move. This time the screen looked different (when I paused the game the little symbols changed into k,l, and 9s) This time I saw the cave you were talking about. I really wanted to get to the cave so I tried to do everything possible to get to it. I tried using surf, strength, and cut, but none of these let me move.

"I tried the trick a third time and this time I went to Lavender town. I walked around in Lavender Tower until the PA went "Ding-Dong". This time when I walked out of the Safari Zone I walked out of the Name Rater's house. Maybe the Name Rater has a link to Missingno."

From Darkwolf0414: "You know how when you go to Glitch City, the layout of it differs depending on where you were when the PA came on? Well, I got ambitious and decided to go to Glitch City from Glitch City. I did everything normal (surfing beside Cinnabar until the PA came on), but when I was inside the building you leave to get into Glitch City, I turned around and went back into the Safari Zone. After I got back out by doing the trick, I spent the rest of my steps in Glitch City! I was hoping I might be sent to some very strange city, but, sadly, after the PA came on and I was brought back to the small building, outside was just regular Glitch City (the one with the cave). From this little "experiment" it turns out there is no strange Glitch City inside of Glitch City."

From Supershenron: "I did the required steps to get to Glitch City, however, after I exited the Safari Zone after I was returned there, I walked out of the Cinnabar Island Pokemart, with no effects on my game!"

From fakhoori: "Oh, I've GOT to tell you this! After you do the Safari Zone trick for Glitch City and Glitch Road, if you surf in Pallett Town or Silence Bridge it'll take you to Glitch Spot (Pallett) or Glitch Bridge (Silence Bridge). In Glitch Spot you can't move and Glitch Bridge you can only go alittle far! This has all come from MissingGLitCH Diaries: True stories, true glitCheS, Erick Romero's Red Version: YUGI. I played it while it happend."

From Lucypancakeeater: "a loooong time ago i tried the glich city thing in yellow. as soon as i stepped into the city pikachu started running round realy fast away from me. i managed to stop it and see how it was feeling. it looked furious. after that randomly in glich city pikachu mood boxes kept flashing up. not a happy pikachu. after a while i lost track and stopped folowing them. i have been in the city three times. the first time i got on the huge stretch of water i entered one square and got stuck. the second i travelled up on the water. the came blacked out after 10 minuets of going up. the third time i went into a battle on the water and got teleported to a small stretch of land (?) where i had to surf and with a couple of pools of walking water. there were half buildings and stuff there, and a gym! half a gym actually. yhe bottom half. i went in it! it was full of people graphics. half people graphics. i could not exit the building, but i could fly away,so i did."

From Jordan Meshew: "I tried Glitch City on my Blue, flying to Pewter City and QUICKLY going to mount moon. Ding-dong! When I entered Glitch City, this one was different. It had cave entrances everywhere, I mean DOUBLE or TRIPLE entrances in a row and some randomly placed. I had to surf over the cave entrances and every time I went onto one, I battled a level 19 Rhyhorn like in the Safari Zone. His attacks were more than 4, and some were:Rare Candy, cut01, Dragonair, garyweezing, new, HYDROP&MP. Also, I tried to catch him with a Pokeball, but it showed a Great Ball's sprite and as soon as I caught him he evolved into Rhydon! I entered a Gym, and found myself in the middle of Lavender Town, to the right of the Name Rater's house. Weird..."

From Professor Henry the Green Engine: "Here are the findings of Glitch City:

1. NEVER save when you're in there. Why, you ask. 1. Saving there will delete every single Pokemon you have forever...! 2.IF YOU SAVE THERE YOU WILL BE STUCK IN THERE FOREVER AND EVER WITH NO WAY OUT, EVER!

2. Did you know there are actually SIX different Glitch Cities for you to explore? Here they are: 1. Cinnabar Island - This is the one with a cave. Note: Surfing too far will cause your game to FREEZE and you will see a GIANT MISSINGNO. You will have to shut the game off 2. Route 16 - This one is the one where you are on your bicycle when you aren't and the gym building says GYM over and over 3. Victory Road - This is the one where you are invisible 4. Cerulean City - You can jump on anything here I think. I'm not sure. 5. Pallet Town - This one is very messy and you can't move 6. Route 15 - This is the most interesting. There are numbers everywhere and when you pause they become female trainers with green hair. Also if you go back to the Safari Zone the man GIVES you $500 instead of you paying him. Strange.

From sky: "i just did the glitch city trick and the pa ding donged in celadon next [to] the guy with the ?poliwrath? and after i got out i ended up in celadon just coming out of the back of the mansion! thought youd like to know."

From dark_skitty: "Well, I saw the code for Glitch City on your site, and decided to try it. I figured out why Glitch City wouldn't work in Lavender Tower with a little expirament. I had gotten bored, and began playing my Red version. I was trying out some of the cities, and had decided to see what would happen if I went into Viridian. I got quite bored just walking in circles, and went into the gym, and re-explored the maze I had conquered long ago. I was still in the gym when the PA sounded, and when I exited, I found myself going out of the school in Viridian. This pretty much proves that walking around in a building during Glitch City negated the glitchy effects. I would test it agian, but I erased my Red version to get Mew, and now I'm not glitching it unless I can trade all my pokémon of value to another version. "

From Seph: "hi, a couple years back, i saw my best friends brother playing pokemon blue on N64. he put the GS in the little GB slot area, then blue in after it. i forgot alot about it, but he got into another mystery city. it seemed like a normal city, except for the double door gyms and houses. and when he walked up to a door, it sayd "Locked". i have no clue how it happened, i wish i know more."

From surfingpichu226: "I'd been fooling around in my game with glitch city, trying to get to new areas on it.I saved RIGHT insde the Safari zone.I suddenly didn't feel like going to glitch city so I "joined the hunt" then I walked aroround more and "Left early" then I flew to cinabar island and surfed on the coast. I started incountering pokemon like I had done the safari zone trick (the one where you find safari zone pokemon on the coast of cinabar). I caught a pincer and turned off the game.Then(thinkingI was rid ofanything related to glitch city) I went and did the Missingno glitch and started surfing. After catching a lvl137 abra I heard dingdong you're safari zone game is over. "huh?"I thought. I exited the safarizone house as always and found myself in a NEW glitch city.I could cut down trees but they would instantly grow back. I jumped down to a different area with a cave. WhenI tryed to get In nothing happened. Then I couldn't move.i knew something was going on so I checked my surroundings by popping up the start menu(poping up the start menu shows what you'e real surroundings are) there was nothing but water so I hopped on my gyrados and surfed.then I incountered a tentacool andI was in the middle of the ocean. I surfed around awhile and then my game froze. I turned my game off and everything was normal afterwards. I have to try that again. "

From theravendevon: "I found out that if you press start when you get stuck by where you try to enter the cave, everything turns to water and if you surf you are not stuck anymore. Also if you keep surfing up then you will eventually come acrosssome pillars. Touch the pillars and the game freezes.

When my friend tried it, she said her game completely went crazy and wouldn't work after that. And After I tried it there was a hypno in the hall of fame called TOWNMAPTOWNMAPTOWNMAP and then whenever I used my town map my game froze. Do you think the effects of glitch city vary with each game?"

From moosaysthellama: Hi Team Rocket Rose, my name is moosaysthellama I recently decided to do a full analysis of Glitch City. Did you know other towns, cities and routes can activate Glitch City? I do, so I decided to test every single city, town, cave, route and tunnel for Glitch Cities. Here are my findings:

Pallet Town: Glitch City: Yes. I’m standing on the roof of part of a house with half a house above me. Test: I cannot move in any direction. The city is scattered with numbers. There are a few bits of water around and houses overlapping other houses. There is a Cut Tree overlapping another Cut Tree. When I press start some stuff changes. I can see bits of the word GYM.

Route 1: Glitch City: Yes. Nice! I can move! I am standing on some pipeline things. There is a miniature pokeball, lots of bits of houses and lot of numbers. No water. I walk a bit and jump over a ledge thing. I am now invisible under some glitchy junk... awww... now I can’t walk. Now I see about 1/2 of a Pokemon Center under me. I also now see a tiny bit of water.

Viridian City: Glitch City: No. It’s normal besides the fact I walk out of the locked gym.

Route 2: Glitch City: No. I come out of the building where the guy gives me Flash.

Viridian Forest: Glitch City: No. It’s the same as Route 2.

Pewter City: Glitch City: No. I come out of the Pewter City mart.

Route 3: Glitch City: Yes. I have some water around me and there are bits of houses. I surf over some water. There is a house with a door. I can walk on top of the door but not in it. I walk a bit. I see a cave entrance. I can walk on top of the cave entrance but not in it.

Mount Moon: Glitch City: Yes. It says I’m on Route 4 on the map. I can’t move. There are bits of houses and numbers.

Route 4: Glitch City: Yes. It’s the same as Mount Moon... I thought it would be.

Cerulean City: Glitch City: No. I just walked out of the bike shop.

Route 24: Glitch City: Yes. I can’t walk. It’s a bit boring. It’s pretty normal for a Glitch City. Meh... oh well.

Route 25: Glitch City: Yes. Wow, I’m standing on water! I can’t walk any further on it. I fish while I’m standing on the water- just a Krabby. I can’t surf onto the land. Oh well.

Sea Cottage: Glitch City: Yes. It’s the same as Route 25.

Route 5: Glitch City: No. I just walk out of the daycare center.

Route 6: Glitch City: Yes. I come out on a rock. When I walk off the rock I can’t get back on. You can cut the trees but they stay there. There is HEAPS of water. Lots of bits of house with doors. I surf down. After a while my game freezes and the music stops. I turn it off. I try again but this time I surf up. My game freezes again. Turns off GBA. Game still okay. Yay!

Vermillion City: Glitch City: No. I come out of the Pidgey guy’s house.

Route 9: Glitch City: Yes. Wow! It’s like a huge dump! This is the craziest I’ve seen yet. I can’t move though...

Rock Tunnel: Glitch City: Yes. When the PA goes ‘ding dong’ and I get sent back to the Safari Zone everything is dark like in the Rock Tunnel. I walk out and I can see again. My map says that I’m in Route 10. I’m covered in glitchy junk so I can’t see myself.

Route 10: Glitch City: Yes. It’s the same as the Rock Tunnel except I can see when the PA goes ‘ding dong’.

Lavender Town: Glitch City: No. I come out of the Cubone girl’s house.

Pokemon Tower: Glitch City: No. It’s the same as Lavender Town.

Route 8: Glitch City: No. I come out of the Route7- 8 underground tunnel.

Route 7: Glitch City: No. I come out of the Route7- 8 underground tunnel.

Celadon City: Glitch City: No. I come out the back of the Celadon Mansion.

Saffron City: Glitch City: No. I come out of the Saffron City mart.

Route 11: Glitch City: No. I come out of Diglett Cave.

Route 12: Glitch City: Yes. I come in on the side of a roof. I can’t walk very far. Some water. I fish... just a Goldeen.

Route 13: Glitch City: Yes. Oooo... unlucky 13. It’s reallyyy glitched but I can’t move.

Route 14: Glitch City: Yes Cool. There’s heaps of numbers. I can’t walk that far. I can see the ‘poke’ part of a Pokemon center.

Route 15: Glitch City: Yes Oooo! I come out on a rock. I can walk. There is some of a mart, there is a sign I can’t get to… it’s pretty weird. I can’t walk that far.

Route 16: Glitch City: No I just come out of the not very secret house thing. You know. The one you go through to get to the person who gives you fly.

Route 17 (AKA Cycling Road): Glitch City: Yes It’s making me walk down like I’m on a bike! Although there is not bike! I can’t Surf because you usually can’t Surf on Cycling Road and apparently I’m still there. There’s a HUGE bit of Gym at the top and a HUGE bit of gym at the bottom. Besides all this it looks pretty inhabitable, lol.

Route 18: Glitch City: Yes I can’t move. Damn. There are lots of bits of houses though...

Fuchsia City: Glitch City: No I just come out of the Safari Zone like normal... lol.

Sea Route 19: Glitch City: Yes Yes! There’s water here, grass, a cave entrance. I can surf down. Lets see what’s in the grass… 5 minutes later… nope! Nothing! Oh well I just might as well try and Cut a tree… 50.43.206.173 BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!! 50.43.206.173 Black screen…still beeping (honestly, that is the most horrible beeping sound I have ever heard) I look at it for a while, pressing buttons along the way. Finally I give up, shrug, and just reset my GBA. My game’s still okay. Interesting!

Seafoam Islands: Glitch City: Yes Funky! There’s trees, numbers, bits of houses… LOTS OF ROOM TO WALK! Walks left. When I’ve walked far I get stuck. I press start… everything totally changes! Wow! I suggest this glitch city! My map says I’m on Sea Route 20 so I’ll guess it’s the same. Lets try again! I press start at one point when I’m here and I’m surrounded by water! I surf and then I can surf all over the land! Yay! Oh great, now I’m stuck again! I try again (sorry but this is by far my favorite) I cut a tree but it doesn’t go away. I surf on land again. I go right. I’m totally surrounded by water. I keep surfing right. According to my map I now am on Sea Route 19. I surf right some more... it freezes. Lol. Okay that’s enough of this one, next!

Sea Route 20: Glitch City: Yes Yep, I was right. It’s the same as Seafoam… (The east coast of Cinnabar Island is part of Sea Route 20 so I presume this is the one everyone  knows about, yes?

Cinnabar Island: Glitch City: No It’s normal... you just come out of the mart.

Sea Route 21: Glitch City: Yes I can’t move. It’s pretty crazy though… I mean… there are bits of people in the corner.

Route 22: Glitch City: Yes Oooo. Can’t move. Lots of 9’s. Meh.

Route 23: Glitch City: Yes Oooo! I can’t move but it looks really cool! There are bits of water and a funky statue and a weird bit of house! Yay yay yay! I can’t see myself though.

Victory Road: Glitch City: Yes As you can imagine I’m getting pretty bored by now. Anyway, there’s some water and it’s pretty freaky and yeah.

Pokemon League: Glitch City: Yes This is a bit funny because I escaped while I was fighting the Pokemon League and now I don’t have to verse them no longer. I can’t move but it’s pretty crazy here I think it might be the same as somewhere else I’ve been. I fly out tralala I escaped the Pokemon League.

Indigo Plateau: Glitch City: Yes It’s the same as Pokemon League.

Power Plant: Glitch City: Yes It’s the same as Route 10.

From Missingno Hater:

"I found missingno in my yellow version!!! Please read!!! I was playing in glitch city(ON N64) when the screen flashed a picture of the pixely 'M Missingno and then red. It started to save. I yanked the catrige out of my n64 controller pack thing. I turned on my GBA with yellow in it. I was  in the same place i saved before, but my Dugrito was level 19 or 14 instead of a 38, his picture was replaced with a RHYDON THE X EVOLOUTION OF MISSINGNO!, his hp bar stretched across the screen and his screech was played in slow motion or something. My heart was pounding 100 mph then because i saw all the signs of missingno: Messed up graphics, hard to come by wild pkmn, and strange sound. I THINK i repeat I THINK i fixed my game by releasing dugrito/rhydon/dugrito possesed by rhydon/ missingno/ what ever the heck it  is, but wild ones are less common now. I want you to make a page about this and send it all across the web. DO NOT EVER GO TO GLITCH CITY IN ANY VERSION AND IF YOU HAVE YELLOW DO NOT GO LOOKING FOR THE MISSINGNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REPEAT TIME A MILLION TIMES DO NOT LOOK FOR MISSINGNO NOT EVER. DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER GO LOOKING FOR MISSINGNO OR GLITCH CITY IN YELLOW!!!! You probably think i am some kid just trting to get attention, i mean it. If you don't believe me please still post this warning on the net."

TR Rose says: "Your game probably messed up because you pulled the cartridge from your Transfer Pak while the game was saving. There's a reason why you're told not to touch the power or the controller pack. During saves, data is being transferred to your game's memory. Interrupting this can cause all sorts of problems. It is unlikely that Glitch City made your game mess up, as I've heard NO other reports of Glitch City screwing with game data."

From Grouquaza, the Glitch Hunter: "In my Yellow version of Pokemon, I did the Glitch City thing. After I flew out of the messed-up city, I talked to Pikachu. It turned away from me and wasn't happy. I hadn't saved except in the Safari Zone. So I restarted and left. When he asked me if I wanted to join the hunt, I said YES. I left, and he asked, Leaving early? I answered YES. I walked a lot and the Ding-dong! never came up. In conclusion, Glitch City will make your Pikachu dislike you in Yellow."

From Mouse Tourmaline: "While messing about with various Glitch Cities in Yellow, I discovered something strange.

Apart from the Glitch Investigators, there is someone else that knows about Glitch City. This someone has actually moved into the place.

The someone is... Sabrina!

Yes, you heard me right, the gym leader from Saffron City- and all her followers into the bargain. Here's how I found her.

On Yellow Version, perform usual Glitch City manoeuvre in Safari Zone. When he says "OK, come again," exit the Safari Zone. Leave Fuchsia City by the eastern exit. Follow the route, make your way through the maze. Now kill some time riding up and down (and up... and down...) the very first bit of the blue path, where a young couple are standing. When you're taken to Glitch City, take in the surroundings for a minute then take one step in any direction. You will be in Sabby's gym. Find the exit. You're back in Glitch City.

Here's another weird one, but it'll upset your Pikachu. Go to the route to the east of Fuchsia again. Find an area of grass before the maze, one you have to use Cut to enter. Walk in it. Unusually for Glitch Cities, you can actually walk on numbers in this one. It's a small enclosed space with a few ledges. Thing is, though, your Pikachu can't follow you into it. When you fly/teleport out he will be truly furious with you for leaving him."

From Kittsie the Glitch Girl: "I restarted my Yellow a couple of days ago. I went to Glitch City *i hadn't been there for soo long, i loved it their*. It's the one you get from going east of Fuschia, just before the maze. Same as normal. I walked around a bit, while jumping over ledges and making the nines and sixes look like a wierd black arrow. Normal same old area. I must have been in there about ten minutes. Finally Pikachu disappeared under the same old glitch block. I walk for another five minutes. I hop on my bike, and the bottom part of the screen creates a wierd glitchy bar. I go down, it multiplies to two glitchy bars. Hmm. I go down another time. It disappears. I ride along to the bottom, and when I ride back up...I get smushed by a glitch bar. I go around in circles. I get of my bike. Press start. Normal stuff, again. *flies away to viridian*. Pikachu has a skull above his/her head. My time is now 255:55. Let me just say one thing: If you want a normal time, I would suggest you do not go to Glitch City, or at least that one. If you want a happy Pikachu, stay away from that Glitch City."

From Utzhome: "One time on blue I was doing the glitch city trick at Route One and it went really weird I off a ledge jumped when weird numbers appeared under me and when I was at the safari zone building and I fell and when I went outside I instead went through the door and my game froze and turn blue with weird symbols all over and there was no sound it was freaky!!!!!!!! Then I did it again and I went in the Safari zone and I had 0 steps and 0 pokeballs but I could catch as many pokemon as I want.

From Polynesia: "Well here's what I did. I did the Safari-zone steps (saying no, saving your game, turn it off, turning it on again, then say no again) and flew to Cinnibar Island. I surfed 500-steps on the right of Cinnibar Town, fought a bunch of 'Ms (my game 'says' my name is not 'allowed' to see MissingNo...), and was teleported back to the safari-zone building. I walked out into MissingNo's house, (new name for glitch town ;) ) and went a step out and went to my left, until I realized I couldn't, so I went to my right, but I couldn't. So I paused the game to fly away, but suddenly the setting was water! Interested, I surfed right, and found parts the box words. I went in. Suddenly my game froze forever. I was stuck in the water, and amazingly, I couldn't even access the 'GAMEBOY' start without any minor damage to it. Heh, not very nice for that game to do to me... "

From Geno: "I have recently discovered a new Glitch City! Fly to Cinnabar after performing the trick, and surf to Seafoam. Don't battle any trainers. Go on Seafoam and Go up to the entrance of the cave, don't go it. Keep going left to the wall, then go right to the wall. Repaet this process until time runs out. You arrive in the original Cinnabar Glitch City, but get stuuck immediately. Pause and Surf. You can walk through walls, but don't go offscreen because the land turns to water. If you go left, you stop surfing, but you can see a mysterious island. I'm doing more research on this..."

From ArticunoIce: "I decided to try Glitch City, it looked cool, but plain wierd....

"So here I am...Monday, 20 minutes before I went to school. I tried Glitch city on Cycling Road A.K.A. Bike Path. The P.A. Went Ding-Dong, and I was sent to Glitch City.....The only problem was.....The game made me go down, like on Cycling Road. To stop going down, I pressed either A, or B. It was plain wierd, and I had to go to school, so I left.

"I went to my Dad's to try Route 6 out. The P.A. went Ding-Dong, and I was sent to Glitch City (again). There were trees, and I tried to cut them, but they wouldn't disapear. I was jumping ledges (I was bored) in Glitch City, and there were these two jumpable ledges sitting together. I was acting really stupid, and tried to jump, but that's kind of impossible to do. When I pressed right, a big blue MissingNo.(I was playing on blue, hence the color) that went across the whole screen, and there was a red circle in the center (me). The game sound was off, so I didn't hear any buzzing, but the game DID freeze, so I shut it off. I was sort of freaked. I turned it on again, nothing messed up that I noticed, but, maybe something.....

"I do have a conclusion to this; Don't EVER try to jump a jumpable ledge that's on both sides (that are together), or...The game will freeze.

"I was at the Safari Zone the other day, and I went in the Rest House(or something like that), and had no steps left. I took my last step, and something very wierd had happened. You know the girl, Sara, who asks where her boyfriend is? Well, she was moved into the black strip in the game where there's suppose to be a wall of some sort. The text box disapeared, and she was back in the chair. Either it was from Glitch City from Route 6 (made my game freeze), or a Glitch from the owner of Blue before me.... Yet I'm not sure.

"Mini Quirk: If your lucky enough, and spend your last step on a jumpable ledge, you will be hovering in mid-air. There will also be four dots below you. When you get back to the Safari Zone, you will still be in mid-air. When you walk to leave, you will jump the rest of the way off. It's wierd, yet funny....I was in Viridian City when that happened."

From Mewninetytwopointfive: "I have a hack of Pokemon Red called Pokemon Brown. Brown features new cities and acess to Johto via the new region's Cycling Road. My emulator has a gameshark built in to it. I typed in the Walk Through Walls Code and used in on Brown. So I go to Cycling Road in the new region (Rijon) and then I left through the gate and walked to a building that leads to Ilex Forest. I've been through the path before, so I knew how to get there.

Brown's Ilex forest has grass patches instead of Pokemon everywhere, so I didn't run into Pokemon that much. Then, I left the gate aand I was in Azalea Town. The gym was taken from Saffron's Fighting Gym, and I beat the leader LONG ago. Well, there were rocks scattered about and it blocked my access to Kurt's house, the Pokemon Center, the Mart, and Charcoal-boy's house. I also couldn't get to Union Cave, and Slowpoke Well only gives you access to the 1st floor.

So, I did a little experimenting by typing in the Red/Blue Walk-Through-Walls (WTW) code. I decided to explore the rest of the town. Kurt's door was locked, the Pokemon center's door was locked, but I could shop. If you leave a building while the code was on, the game will crash, so I turned off the code and left, and I found myself in a strange Glitch City. It was like a shuffle of Azalea Town. I couldn't move, so I turned the code back on. After walking around, I shut off the game without saving. When I turned it back on, my file was erased. Guess that even hacks can have glitches too. A word to other Pokemon Brown players, don't enter the Azalea Town Mart if you get access."

From Neeyo: "The /M single block which can be found in Glitch City is actually a part of the GYM sign. Look carefully... it's just another half of the gym sign. So, luckily (or not?) it doesn't correspond to /M."

From richshel: "I used the glitch to get to the famous "Glitched city" to find I was walking on a big picture of missingno (Freaky) I decided to fly out so I pressed start and all it said was ?.'#, M ;'#?./ error 999999. I was getting freaked so I started pressing buttons and eventually a text box came up and said "Missingo error 909090.;;;;'' and then P.A (for some odd reason) went off when I walked out it was normal but I turned it off incase."

From hyperpeppy880: "If you have seen the /M in Glitch City, look at it carefully. You will see that it is the word GYM cut in half. Nothing to do with the 'M. Also, by using a float code from a gameshark, using it and going to the right, you will find signs that either say a gibberish message or no message, grass (no pokemon in there...) and normal houses! Houses that have doors! It is rare that you will be able to go inside, but (according to rumors) you might be challenged by a glitched trainer that sends out glitch pokemon! Keep on going to the right, and you will end up in the main area in that glitched city! Keep going right. You will eventually get to the normal Glitch City again! Glitch City is just like the "Minus One" world in Super Mario Bros., a repeating level full of glitches. Eventually all the land will disappear, leaving you to the death pillars surrounding Glitch City."

From a kid: "I began studying Glitch City when I found out about it. Yellow Version seems to be the weirdest. Pikachu sprites keep flying over the screen. Anyway, I was trying that little bit of land down the bottom of Fuschia. When I got Ding Donged back to the Safari Zone, I came out under a glitch thing. I used Surf, surfed out from under the glitch thing. I surfed onto a bit of grass. Tried to get a pokemon to appear for a while, nothing comes out. I fish, I find a Horsea. A weird thing is, whenever I try to cut trees or grass (yes you can cut grass) the game goes all weird on me. I'm doing some more research on this."

From rplarisan69: "I have a thorough explenation of the glitch city, the reason that when you cut a tree, it comes back, is because, look around you, there are peices of cities from all over the map,when you are in glitch city, you are rotating through all of the places on the map, all of the marts and centers too. So fast you can't see it, so that is the reason when you press the pause button, the frame stops on one environment, also on the 9s and 2s. The tree thing is because, when you leave an area, the tree grows back, and since you are rotating, it grows back instantly. The places you can't walk, even though the pixels are suitable for walking, bike riding etc. are "Solidified air" The rotation sometimes is slower on some areas and tiles, so sometimes, you walk into a slow rotation, such as the cave. Also the "Bermuda triangle of kanto" Cinnabar coast. The reasons it has a fixed environment, is because of the slow rotation in the area. You find Missingno. an 'M, the enigmas of the game, is because you are rotating through Cinnabar. Surfing through ground isn't caused by the rotation, it is caused by the game mistaking the ground tiled for water tiles, some tiles don't rotate at all, and some environments don't even move! You may think i am some bored guy who has nothing to do, so i research glitches, but i get paid for stuff like this! The reason you can find missingno, is also because he/she is part of the game! The game wouldn't work right if missingno wasn't there, missingno. and 'M are progams used to test the games. Missingno has to be in all pokemon RPGs or else they won't function. If you have any unanswered questions, just ask me."

From Kazooeh: "I had recently restarted my Pokemon Blue game, so I could not explore and enjoy this ever tempting "Glitch City" with it. I decided to steal my little sister's Red.

At first, I had forgotten the steps to getting there, until I read how to on Trsrockin.com. So I sat in confusion for a full hour in the car. My sister sat beside me, watching as I stupidly walked around in the Safari Zone. Luckily, we got to my Grandmother's house in time to check it out before dinner. I then followed the steps, and flew to Cinnabar Island.

I encountered 3 annoying male Nidoran and a Scyther. I didn't bother with them, despite my sister's nagging for a new friend. She had better things to see than me catching a Pokemon.

"Ding dong!" Cried the gameboy, and I was taken back to yours truly, the Safari Zone. At first I had no intentions of expecting what was beyond the door, but knew it would freak Morganne out.

I stepped out, looking around. My eyes were popping with amazement. I did it! I accomplished my long-awaited mission! It only took me 3 worthless hours!

I ran through the strange place, surfing on the 9's and 2's, and getting stuck on strange house islands while doing what I always wanted, walked on water. It was a miracle! This place was awesome. I wish my dog could see it.

Morganne began to freak out as I told her there was a chance that she can be trapped here for good, not to Surf too far out, and she had better have her Pidgey with her. Fortunetly, Meme was there for me to escape...but not yet! I had a little more fun to make use of!

I saw that mysterious cave...and walked into it. I cried in joy as I was stuck inside.I surfed out of it and began running wild all over the water. But then I was stuck on a house, and safely rejoyced in Pewter City."

From knighmare: "I was reading the glitch city thing and I tried it then I got curious and connected my game to pokemon stadium 1 and 2 it was different. The strangest thing was discovering that it messed my game up. For example, I chose pikachu and got ditto, I chose zapdos and got an articuno with thunder psychic fire spin and fly."

From sea-turtle: "If you go to the Cinnabar Glitch City and go into the cave and surf northward after a while you'll come to some rocks (it'll crash if you bump into them) going left or right. Go left and eventually there will be more rock jutting upwards (if you keep going left the rocks will curve and will eventually crash) From there surf down and then there will be a much larger glitch city. The landscape changes as you move or access the menu screen. Apparently this Glitch City is Cinnabar Island."

From 0dd1: In my Yellow I noticed a few things:

Trials:

Trial 1: Went to Fuschia. I had no money (I WAS BROKE!). After 3rd try I was let in for free with 1 Safari Ball. After saving, leaving, blah blah blah-ing, I went to cinnibar. 500 steps later I find myself in a diff 1 than in R/B.

Trials 2 & 3: Cycling Road & Seafoam Island: Seafoan: same as Cinnibar. Cycling Road: same as in R/B.

Conclusions: Yellow has a different MissingNo. glitch cities. You can get in the Zone (Safari Zone) when you're broke, but you have 1 ball and a guy who hates you.

Hope this helps!

From Remi: I tried the trick of the glitch city but I hadn't yet reached cinnabar so I did it with cycling rode. I rode up and down and even fought a trainer. Suddenly the ding dong appeared. I exited and I was in glich city. I couldn't move more than 3 or four steps, so I turned it off and on again. When it was on, I was on saffari zone (after all I had saved there). I went and got strenght + the gold teeth, which then I took to the warden to get surf. So, everithing was normal up to here.

But then I turned it off and went to rest about an hour. When i woke, i turned the gameboy and I had to take the cartridge 30 times to make sure it was the same one: My game was errased

From Cold Mistress: I was in Viridian forest. In red version. This happened about a year ago, so the details are fuzzy. I remember I got into a battle and a Charmander appeared. Although I could've been the one with the charmander... But after the battle, it looked like I wasn't in Viridian forest anymore. XD There were invisible walls everywhere, and it looked like glitch city. I didn't try to do anything to make it happen. Eventually my game froze.

From Saydipup: A little while ago, I made a small, but important discovery on Glitch city.

Now personally, I'm not really a person to mess around with dangerous glitches. I'd do the Mew Glitch, duplicate items, and the occassional trip to Glitch city, but that was it. Now, as I was saying. I was on the bus, coming home from camp. I had been telling this guy about Glitch city and the Mew glitch for the whole week, and I had brought my brother's Blue Version that day. I let him use it to go explore glitch city before he went home to try it on his game. I made sure I watched over his shoulder.

Some days later, I turned on the Blue Version again. I was next to the entrance of the Safari Zone, where the guy had saved for the Glitch City trick. Figures. I had left through the entrance to get out of the Safari Zone quickly, but as usual, no one asked if I was leaving early. I didn't want to go to Glitch City, I had other things to do. So I shut off my game. I turned it back on, and my jaw dropped.

I had discovered how Glitch City deletes your file, the hard way. The file was gone. All of it. I had saved all the pokemon on Pokemon Stadium 2, reset the game to get Mew, and put them all back, just to get it all deleted. My very first pokemon were on that!!! (A bunch of pixels with sentimental value)

Now, this may not seem like a very big discovery, but it's vital to those who don't want their file deleted. I noticed that no one mentioned exactly HOW Glitch City can delete your file, so I though you should know. I don't want anyone making the same mistake I did. I won't be able to do anything with Blue Version for a while, (my brother is VERY angry, and says that he won't let me play it ever again. I'll just wait 'till he forgets) but in the meantime, I'm going to spread the word of my small discovery. I hope I've been of help to you.

From wesman5270: I have just found a way to get to glitch city Without going to the safari zone!!!!! But you will need a gameshark. for all I know, it only works for yellow. I havent tried it on R/B.But heres how to do it.

1. enable the "walk through walls", and "hover", codes. 2. fly to viridan. 3. go to the pokemon leauge. 4. instead of going into that first building, walk up the wall. 5. keep going up, and you'll be in glitch city!

I think this works on silence bridge but I am not sure. Im still doing research to see what other places this works with. I also have a little bit more info about the cycling road glitch city. Enable those same codes. do the cycling road glitch city (going to the safari zone). when youre there keep going up and left. soon you'll be on the actual cycling road!

From Cyst: I used to do the Glitch City trick too, and this happened the first night I learned of it, on my Yellow. I got to your average Glitch City (from Cinnabar Island) and was exploring for a bit, when eventually I got to a place with no ground - just sea everywhere. So I decided to surf out to the unknown (really I'd hoped I'd've surfed out my Game Boy so I could have a pet Pikachu). I'd been traveling for about five minutes in a north-west direction when my character froze and the music started blipping. Then of all Pokémon, guess whose cry I heard? Mew. I was really excited (hey, I was only about 10!) - I was in a secret place and I'd heard the cry of the rarest Pokémon of all! Makes you think there's something more to the game, but the whole MissingNo thing is just a glitch and people's imaginations run away on a cool story they want to believe. Sorry to say it, glitch hunters! Oh, and my game cut out after the Mew cry and I had to reset.

From Shadow Scythe: I have come with some information about the seafoam island glitch city.

First off, if you turn on one of the "walk through walls" gameshark codes, and go far enough to the right, there is actually a full, intact house! You cannot enter it, but that is probably expected of any glitch. Secondly, if you look around, you will find a lot of repetition used, such as the alternating water and rock (I think they're rocks...) tiles, and identical partial buildings. Also, I have put together a map of this particular glitch city, made with a pokemon red emulator. (I have bought the game for GBC, but emulators are far better for screenshots.)

From donovan12345678901234567890123: "I was doing the Glitch City trick also and flew to Viridian City for it. I went into the gym there and spun around on the things that make you spin. My safari time ran out when I was spinning and I came spinning out of the Viridian City Gym. Well, if you do this, then you will be spinning forever, won't be able to catch NORMAL(I say n

ormal because of the glitch pokemon you can get in the Mew gitch) pokemon. You also won't be able to do the MissingNo. Glitch anymore also, since 'M or MissingNo. won't appear."

Please help. Thanks. --- Wii U Nintendo Network ID (feel free to add me): sockableclaw Xbox Live Gamer Tag (feel free to add me): darb yelur

Yeah. I tried to do it awhile back when my Gold was about to expire when they were still using Microsoft Points, but the system won't let you for one reason or another. I guess it's because it's a bit easy to get money for your Microsoft account through things like Bing. --- Hey, everyone! This store discriminates against the poor!

Rated 6 for comedy violence and relief

NOTE: This is a Bugs Bunny comedy and parody story.

It all began in the 9th day of April in Eastward, Washington, there's a Easter Egg Hunt and the Mayor is making a announcement to his citizens. "Citizens, there will be a Easter Egg Hunt starting Easter morning. All baskets will be ready to find a egg anywhere in Georgie Hall Park." The crowd were cheering loudly. "Also, we got the Easter Bunny right here," said Mayor while the crowd cheers loudly until the Easter Bunny didn't show up yet and the crowd got silenced. The Mayor's assistant came and said to the Mayor,

"Mr. Mayor, Harry is very ill. He cannot perform the Easter Bunny. I'm sorry."

"Aw, great. Probably he's eating too much carrots. You know? Go for your eyesight. Be right back. What do you mean 'Harry's ill?", the Mayor ask.

"I call him and he said I have a ill and I cannot performed as the Easter Bunny," said the Mayor's assistant.

"What am I gonna do? The children will be disappointed. Who's gonna be the Easter Bunny," the Mayor ask when one of the Care Bear Cousins named Swift Heart Rabbit is helping two children and then, she's about to leave to Care-A-Lot and the Mayor said, "Joe, get that rabbit. We need her, please." As Swift Heart about to leave, the Mayor's Assistant stopped her and about to ask a propersition to help the Easter Egg Hunt. Explanations later...

"Hmm. Let's get something straight. You want me to become a Easter Bunny to help the Easter Bunny? 'Cause nobody else would? Right," Swift Heart asks.

"That's absolutely correct, Swift Heart. We need you, please," the Mayor's Assistant is begging really desperately. Then, Swift Heart got a agreement to help the Easter Egg Hunt. "Okay, I'll do it. I'll be your Easter Bunny," said Swift Heart as the Mayor's Assistant kissing her feet to say thanks. Swift Heart made her appearance and said, "EVERYONE, HERE'S YOUR EASTER BUNNY!" The crowd cheers happily until someone's behind the bushes and saw Swift Heart is making people happy and he's rightfully mad from caring. He's a apprentice for NightHeart none other than Mr. Beastly.

"So Swift Heart is gonna be the next Easter Bunny, huh? We'll see about that. I'll be the next Easter Bunny to be really bad. YUK! YUK! YUK! YUK! YUK! YUK," said Beastly as he disappeared for awhile until he gets back. Later that night, Swift Heart is going back to Care-A-Lot with her cloud car.

"Hey, Swift Heart, can I have with you," said the stranger and Swift Heart said, "sure. I hope it won't take too long. I got to back to Care-A-Lot."

"I want to congratulate you for being a new Easter Bunny," said the stranger.

"Thanks," said Swift Heart, "it takes a bunny like me to become a Easter Bunny."

"Not anymore," said the stranger. "Excuse me," Swift Heart replied to the stranger, "are you trying to be a smart aleck?"

"Yes and I'm gonna do something at you. HYAH," and the stranger grab Swift Heart with a sack as she struggles to get out and she muffles to shout for help, "YOU GET ME OUT RIGHT NOW! GET ME OUT! OR I'LL GET EVEN WITH YOU!" The stranger revels as Beastly in disguise. "YEAH! Swift Heart, you know me as Beastly. YUK! YUK! YUK! YUK," said Beastly.

"Beastly, is that you? BEASTLY! I'LL GET YOU," said Swift Heart. "When your foolish Care Bears try to help they all be falling into my trap. OOH! NIGHTHEART WILL BE VERY PLEASED! YUK! YUK! YUK! YUK!" Beastly took off with Swift Heart to anyplace around. Little did Beastly know someone's flying around and it's Flight Heart Squirrel. He saw Beastly got something and it shouts "help" by a girl voice and he recognized it. It was Swift Heart's.

"Huh? It's Beastly. What is he doing with that sack? Someone's shouting for help and I know that voice. It's Swift Heart. I better tell the other Care Bears and fast," said Flight Heart.

A little later at the Hall of Hearts in Care-A-Lot, Flight Heart told Noble Heart and True Heart about everything from what's happening. Noble Heart said, "that Beastly have gone too far. We got to make a rescue search to find her." Suddenly, Brave Heart, Share, Love-A-Lot, Oopsy and Lotsa Heart are there to help Flight Heart in searching for Swift Heart before Beastly done something to her.

"We are here to help Swift Heart. I'll tear Beastly lim from lim," said Brave Heart.

"Calm down. We'll get her back before he done something to her. All right, Care Bears, let's find Swift Heart," said Share Bear as they're leaving she opens the door and got swatted on the floor. "This isn't exactly what I had in mind," said Share. Now, they off to Eastward, Washington, to the scene where Swift Heart got bunnynapped. "Yep, that's where she was after Beastly bunnynapping Swift Heart," said Flight Heart.

"Hmm. She's got to be here somewhere. Huh? Guess who puts a sign, guys," said Brave Heart. Beastly got the sign and it said, "short cut to Swift Heart." The Care Bears are surrounding him until Oopsy tripped on Beastly and into the trash can.

"Oopsy. Hmm. Maybe not oopsy after all. Well, the trash can is right in your alley, Beastly. Where's Swift Heart," Oopsy asks.

"Well, I got a sign to help you to find her. She's over there," said Beastly as he points where she's at. They looked at the place and hopefully it's not a trap. "Great! We found her! You better don't give us the slips," said Love-A-Lot. Beastly crossing his fingers and lied to them and said in whisper, "don't worry, you will, my dear." He laughs softly. Then, Oopsy opens the door and the trap door opens by itself and down they go. They're stuck in a trap for them. "Oopsy," said Oopsy.

"Nice going, Oopsy. Now, we're stuck here and Swift Heart's still captured. What are we gonna do now," Brave Heart asks.

"Never underestimating the swiftness of a flying squirrel. Watch this," said Flight Heart as he tries to fly up away from the trap door until Beastly closes the door and laughs evilly. Flight Heart got bonked and landed back to the concrete floor. It looks like it's hopeless. Beastly has finally won and the Care Bears are in trouble this time. Meanwhile inside the old building.

"I'm so good. Oh, which means bad is so good. NightHeart will be very pleased. Better get rest up for Easter," said Beastly while he's watching one of Bugs Bunny cartoons as Swift Heart sighs sadly because she's stuck inside until she saw Bugs to outsmart any bad guys around so she gets a idea to outsmart Beastly.

"Oh, Beastly," said Swift Heart and Beastly replies, "what now?"

"I'm getting hungry so if you give a snack over there. I won't give you any troubles," said Swift Heart.

"Okay. Give me a sec," said Beastly while he's grabbing a carrot and Swift Heart grab it and poking Beastly's eyes with her two fingers and then, she's hopping out from the sack and Beastly got frustrated. He clear his eyes and saw Swift Heart is gone. "WHAT! SHE'S GONE! Where did she go? Swift Heart, oh, Swift Heart. Come out wherever you are," said Beastly. Swift Heart breaks the floor into a giant hole and cover it with a old carpet. Beastly ran the stairs until Swift Heart shouts at Beastly.

"OH, YOO-HOO! BEASTLY, OVER HERE! COME AND GET ME IF YOU CAN!"

"NO ONE OUTSMARTS ME AROUND! YAH," said Beastly while he's running too fast and open the door and saw Swift Heart. "I got you. Huh? Oh, no. AHH," he shouts while he's going down fast and crash.

"See you next fall, Beastly. HA HA HA HA! Better get out of here. (ZIPS!)," said Swift Heart while she's running fast until she heard a call for help and she recognizes the voices. "Huh? What's going on? Sounds like...the Care Bears! Brave Heart, is that you," Swift Heart asks.

"YEAH! IT'S ME! WITH THE OTHER CARE BEARS! PLEASE, HELP US OUT OF HERE AND HURRY! WE CAN'T BREATHE MUCH LONGER," said Brave Heart.

"DON'T WORRY, I'LL GET YOU OUT OF THERE! Huh? Beastly's coming and boy he's really mad at me. I'LL COME BACK FOR YOU! DON'T GO ANYWHERE," said Swift Heart.

"Do we have any choice," said Love-A-Lot.

Swift Heart is fasting around away from Beastly until she saw a crate of Dynamite and costumes inside the chest and Swift Heart made a sneaky grin to make Beastly into a undeniable moron. Beastly stopped and said, "hmm. Where did she go?" Swift Heart shouts at him, "catch me back at the old building! (Raspberries) (ZIPS!)" Beastly got steamed and ran back to the old building so she can set a trap for Beastly. Swift Heart returns the old building and sets the trap with Dynamite sticks all around the building so Beastly gets a big bang out of him. Swift Heart gots a chest with costumes. First, she's dressing like a old man.

Beastly returns also and gets up the stairs and said, "hmm. Her rabbit tracks lead to this room," and when he opens the door and saw a old man in disguise. "Excuse me, sir, did you see a blue bunny around here," Beastly asks.

"Of, course, I seen her. She's in that closet," said the old man (Swift Heart).

"Thanks a bunch. I got you now," said Beastly as he steps inside the closet, "it's so dark. I can't even see my own two feet. Did you got a match?" Swift Heart (Old Man) give him a match and Beastly said, "thank you. (Lights up the match) Hmm. She's not in here. Wait a second. (He accidentally lights the TNT) Oh, no. (BOOM!)" Swift Heart gets a away and wearing another disguise as a Pizza Delivery Guy and Beastly gets out mad and chasing away towards to another room.

He opens the door and saw the Pizza Delivery Guy eating his pretend pizza and Beastly asks the Pizza Guy, "sorry for interrupting your meal, I'm looking for Swift Heart." The Pizza Guy (Swift Heart) said to him, "nope. Never seen her. While you here, wanna taste my best pizza? The best of Eastward" She gave him the pizza as he open it. It was a dynamite stick and Beastly shouts. (BOOM!) He got smoke twice and lays down for awhile. Swift Heart zips away from him and going down the stairs and dressing a sexy model. Beastly moving slowly as he heading towards to the stairs and going down and then, he saw a beautiful young model and he got woo from her. He makes a impression as wolf just like in the Tex Avery cartoon and doing the wolf call.

"Easy tiger. Sit down. Tell me what are you looking for or me," Swift Heart sounds sexy when she does that. Beastly keeps on babbling and said, "uh-huh. Uhh, looking for Swift Heart. When I done my job if you want to go out with me." Swift Heart got a sign and it said, 'Is he screwier or what, Folks?", and she said to Beastly, "of course, I will. Now, close you eyes and I will give you my surprise." Then, Beastly pucker up on TNT and got exploded. "WOW! WHAT A KISSER! YAHOO! (Making wolf calls again) Take me to the Casaba, my dear." Unfortunately, her wig drops on the floor and Beastly is beginning to be mad again. "WAIT A SECOND! YOU'RE SWIFT HEART! SO you're the one who gave me a big bang treatment. Well, it won't worked this time."

"Oh, no? Look again, fur brain," said Swift Heart while she points up in the ceiling and it's about to collapsed because she saw the ceiling and then, it's breaking apart. "(munching a carrot) See you next fall again, Doc. Bye! (ZIPS!)" As Beastly about to leave in a hurry, the ceiling collapses on him and he gets out safely until lots and lots of TNT were light up and Beastly said, "mother." (BOOM!) The whole building got destroyed into dust. "(munching the carrot) That's how to get the whole building, Folks. (Laughing) Oh, I better get them out and quick," said Swift Heart as she returns to the Trap Door and opens it and then, Lotsa using his trunk and Swift Heart grab while she's fasting badly. She got them all out and they're happy.

"We're out thanks to Swift Heart the champion of any Care Bear Cousins. And that's the turth," said Lotsa Heart.

"Oh, shucks," said Swift Heart when she's all blushed out.

"We all glad you're safe and sound from that unbelievable Beastly guy. Tell us how did you manage to get out of his trap easily, " Share asks.

"Simple. I'm the next Bugs Bunny. Watch this. (munching the carrot) What's up, Doc," said Swift Heart and everyone were laughing.

"I guess Beastly got what he deserves," said Lotsa Heart. "What about the Easter Egg Hunt," Oopsy asks.

"Oh, jezz. We're almost forgot. We better go back to Care-A-Lot and get everything ready. Come on, let's go," said Brave Heart.

When the Care Bears are going back to Care-A-Lot, Beastly gets up from the rubble and saw them going back to he knew where. He's mad at moment and said,

"you may outsmarting me, Swift Heart, cause, I'm not done with you yet."

In the next 6 days and it's Easter day and everyone from the town of Eastward are ready for the Easter Egg Hunt and the entire Care Bear Family are wearing bunny ears, but, Grumpy Bear feels grumpier a little bit until he got kissed by the Easter Bunny (Swift Heart) and Grumpy got smiled again with her around. Beastly is behind the bushes ready to make a great blast to hurt Easter forever.

"This is gonna be the best Easter, Grams," said Baby Hugs. "You said it, Hugs. Especially Swift Heart become a great Easter Bunny this year," said Baby Tugs.

"Hmm. Something's not right here," said Grams. "What is it, Grams," Baby Tugs asks. Grams Bear saw something behind the bushes and it's Beastly as the Easter Bunny so he's gonna destroy everything. Well, Grams' instincts tell her Beastly is gonna ruin Easter.

"You cubs wait right here. I'm gonna check on something. I'll be right back," said Grams.

Beastly is waiting for the right moment until Grams Bear showed up and said to him, "BEASTLY!" Beastly shrieked and said, "Grams Bear, what are you doing here?" Grams Bear replies, "The same thing I'm gonna ask you. Are you gonna ruin Easter, aren't you? Beastly answered, "yes. That intelligent bunny of yours make a fool out of me. You won't stopped me." Grams Bear is about to make a Care Bear stare, "that's it. You're gonna pay for bunnynapping Swift Heart. CARE BEAR STARE!" The stare power made Beastly running away from her. The crowd were silent and saw Beastly.

"Hmm. Beastly, we didn't invite you to this event. What are you doing here, anyway," Tender Heart asks.

"Uhh...I made a conditional surrender? (laughing nervously)," said Beastly.

"I suggest you leave and give our regards to NightHeart," said Brave Heart.

"No? All right, then. Time for the Care Bear Stare. Countdown," said Tender Heart as the Care Bears are gonna countdown to zero, "4...3...2...1! CARE BEAR STARE!" The stare power take Beastly away back to NightHeart's Castle. Easter has been saved thanks to Swift Heart and the Care Bear Family. "That'll teach him for almost ruining Easter and that's the truth," said Lotsa Heart. The Mayor also said, "I want to thank you Care Bear Family for making Easter the big success and so does Swift Heart, too."

"Well, I guess she gave us a heart of a rabbit. So does Grumpy, too," said Noble Heart.

"You could say that again," said True Heart.

The kids are enjoying the Easter Egg Hunt and so does Swift Heart, but, Grumpy got a egg on his head and give it to the Easter Bunny, Swift Heart. Swift Heart kissing Grumpy and everything lived happily ever after until when Beastly got bad news to NightHeart and explanations later, he got flipped. "WHAT! YOU MANIACAL, MORONIC, HALF-WITTED FURBALL! You have failed me for the last time. You, Frostbite and ColdHeart are...FIRED!" Beastly said with disappointment, "f-f-f-f-fired? No, you cannot do this to me and them. We will try harder."

"TRY DOES NOT MAKE MUCH DIFFERENCE! GET OUT AND NEVER COME BACK," he shouts and using his power to smoke him and Beastly leaves away forever.

"Those Care Bears have gone too far. I will try to destroy everything with caring in it. I will create my own army to terrorizing the stupid planet. CARE BEARS, YOU ARE FINISHED! HA HA HA HA HA HA," NightHeart said.

NightHeart creating his own army? If it is, the Care Bears are in trouble. Tune in for a new adventure as the Care Bears will try everything to save the world of caring. In the meantime, I wish you all a Hippity Hoppity Happy Easter Day! Peace!

THE END! (for now)

Macusoper Worst Birthday Ever Edit

Comments0 1,884pages on this wiki

Macusoper 's cruel parents ground him on his birthday for being very bad and give him nothing at all this year.

Plot

Macusoper wakes up on the morning of his birthday feeling so excited. After writing down his list he goes downstairs only to find that his Mom and Dad are in a bad mood. They tell Macusoper that he is getting nothing on his birthday because he got detention on Wednesday and threw his little sister yesterday resulting in her being sent to hospital. He also threw pencils in class on Monday and failed a test on Tuesday.

This causes Macusoper to throw a huge tantrum, but his parents don't care and send him to his room. Macusoper is upstairs crying when his parents arrive, telling him that they have a special present for him, which turns out to be grounded for five weeks. This upsets Macusoper even more, as Mom and Dad tell him that this is the only birthday present he's getting this year. They walk out of the room with the birthday list as Macusoper bawls his eyes out because his birthday is ruined.

Transcript ?(Macusoper's alarm clock goes off and he wakes up) ?Macusoper: Today it's my birthday! I'm so excited!

So she have to stay in the hospital for 20 whole weeks. ?Dad: And remember Monday in school you've been throwing pencils in class. And you had a test on Tuesday and you failed!

And that's final! Now go upstairs, now! ?(Upstairs in Macusoper's room) ?Macusoper: Man, Mom and Dad mess up my birthday again! They do this shit every year! So I get no presents, no PS3 no WWE no Call of Duty no money no Gamestop Giftcard! ?(Macusoper's parents arrive) ?Macusoper: Is it PS3 WWE Call of duty and gamestop card? ?Dad: No! it's better!!! ?Macusoper: What is it?! ?Dad: YOU'RE GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED, GROUNDED! ?macusoper: My present got to be grounded! ?Mom: That was your only gift. ?Dad: We have to write a letter to your sister! ?Intermission ?They have to erase my list! and they wrote my letter! ?this is the worst birthday Ever! ?Macusoper!!

Dark: (voice over) Patiently, I watched you all…

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) …waiting for the moment to strike.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) You forged your alliance.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) You trusted without cause.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) And finally, when you thought your world was safe…

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) …it fell apart before your very eyes.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) You are merely pawns in a game—

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) —and you have played my part perfectly.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) There is nowhere you can hide.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) And there is nothing you can do to stop me.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) Each small victory brings me closer to an even greater prize.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) The elimination of an entire generation of heroes.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) And I owe it all to you, Robin.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) Your network has been crushed. (A lever is pulled; the conveyor carries Speedy along.) Your friends have no way to communicate or follow your commands.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: Together you may be formidable…

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) …but apart…

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) …you are lost, powerless, mine.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (voice over) You will fall… (Slow pan away from the equipment.) …one by one.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: Who among you can possibly stop me now?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: Now try and follow me.

………………………………............................................................................................................

OPENING THEME

Act One

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: I never thought I’d have to use this place.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: You know, for a top-secret emergency outpost, it’s actually kinda homey.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: Oh, Más! I, uh…uh, where’s your brother?

Más: (panicked) Señor Beast Boy! Se llevaron a Menos! Por favor, qué está pasando? No sé qué hacer! Fuimos atacados por Cinderblock y el Johnny Rancid, y luego mi comunicador Titans explotó!

[“Mr. Beast Boy! They took Menos away! Please, what’s going on? I don’t know what to do! We were attacked by Cinderblock and the Johnny Rancid, and then my Titans communicator exploded!”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: Más, slow down! (standing up) I can’t listen that fast.

Más: (calmer) Somos los únicos que quedamos? [“Are we the only ones left?”]

Pantha: (from o.c.) No, my friend.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: This Brain—he sent the wrong opponents to capture me. (She reaches them.) Pantha remains undefeated!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: What is this?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: It’s the Herald!

Herald: Good to see we’re not alone. I brought someone with me.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Herald: (addressing portal) All right, Jericho. It’s cool.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: I’d hoped to find the Teen Titans, not…this. I believe I will be better on my own.

Más: Debo encontrar a mi hermano. [“I should find my brother.”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Herald: (turning to leave) I guess I’ll go back to my own dimension.

Beast Boy: STOP!! (Slow pan toward the door.) Nobody’s going anywhere! We have to stick together. (Back to him, addressing Más and Pantha.) I need all of you with me if we’re going to stop the Brain.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: And we are going to stop him.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: He has us on the run. That means the Brain will never expect us to take the fight to him.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: Why should you be in charge? (Head-on view.)

Beast Boy: I’ve been fighting these guys longer than any of you. I know what we’re up against.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: Look. This may not be the perfect team, but it’s all we’ve got. We’re the Teen Titans now. If we work together, we can accomplish anything.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: So…exactly what can you guys do?

Herald: (standing) My horn opens rifts in space.

Pantha: (standing, flexing arms) I am strong!

Más: Antes iba rápido, pero sin mi hermano… (He trails off into a sad little moan.)

[“I used to go fast before, but without my brother…”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: (unimpressed) Okay…this might be tougher than I thought.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Más: Hey! Rockman! Me estás buscando? [“Are you looking for me?”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Más: (nervously, over shoulder) Creo que no está funcionando. [“I think it isn’t working.”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: Titans, go!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Herald: Jericho! Get ready!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy, Más: Cool! (CB sits up.)

Herald: Jericho? Are you in there?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Jericho/CB: I’m here. He may have bricks for brains, but I can see enough. The Brotherhood base is in Paris.

Herald: Done.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: This plan of yours—I hope it works.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Act Two

………………………………............................................................................................................

Herald: (to Beast Boy) How do we know his brother’s here?

Más: (irritated, stopping) Porque, Trumpet Boy, nuestros poderes nos da una conexión magnética. Lo más cercanos que estamos— (sweat drop on Herald’s head) —lo más fuerte es nuestro enlace. (walking on) Qué, no sabes nada?

[“Because, Trumpet Boy, our powers give us a magnetic connection. The closer we are, the stronger our link is. What, don’t you know anything?”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: He said it was a twin thing.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Más: Estamos cerca! Por acá! [“We’re close! Through here!”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: Dude! What’s wrong? (Zoom in slightly.)

Más: Menos…

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (from o.c.) Victory is at hand.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: And for your part, a gift. (From-the-ground view of the four.) I give you Robin.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Robin: (straining against glass) This isn’t over! (From-the-ground view of Dark, zooming in.)

Dark: For you, it is.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: We have to keep moving.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: Stop! Someone is coming.

………………………………............................................................................................................

LB: At last, the little punk will get it!

………………………………............................................................................................................

PH: Cinderblock! They’re about to freeze Robin! (running off) Hurry or you’ll miss it! (The possessed hulk stumps off after him.) By the way, nice catch, sir.

Jericho/CB: Thanks.

………………………………............................................................................................................

PH: Since when have you been able to talk…sir?

………………………………............................................................................................................

PH: (stumbling back) Hey! (clapping hand over own face) Get outta me!

LB: What is the meaning of this? (CB topples backward to the floor.)

Pantha: (dramatically) It is called an ambush!

………………………………............................................................................................................

PH: Quit hitting myself! (He socks his own jaw.) Quit hitting myself! (Again.)

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: No one can escape the Pantha’s claw!

………………………………............................................................................................................

LB: (backing up) I will go now.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: Let’s move!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: All right, Brain! You’re going…

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: (scared) …down?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: (forehead vein throbbing) What’s so funny?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: The Brain is no longer in charge anymore. I have taken over. Also the five of you against all of them? Even I find that amusing. (The floor.)

Beast Boy: Tell me where our friends are!

Dark: (from o.c.) Beast Boy… (The platform.) …you always try so hard—and always fail so completely. This time will be no exception.

Beast Boy: Where are they?!?

Rouge: Would you like to say hello?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Más: Menos! (Pull back; Beast Boy leans in.)

Beast Boy: (horrified) No…

Rouge: (mock pity) Oh, but it seems you are too late.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: (clenching fist) I think we can take ’em.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: (socking fist into palm) I think you are correct.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Herald: I don’t like your music.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: Who is next?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Rouge: They fight with much enthusiasm. Allow me to crush them. (She prepares to jump down.)

Dark: No, let our friends have that pleasure. The end for these kids will come soon enough.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (from o.c.) Did you think your pathetic resistance could actually stop what I have created? (Cut to it, Immortus, and Rouge on their platform.) Once again, Beast Boy, you’ve failed. Rouge, add them to the collection.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Rouge: Any final words?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: Yeah. I wouldn’t stand there if I were you.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Cyborg: Lesson number one—never throw me down a hole unless you make sure I stay there!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Starfire: The lesson two—we never give up!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Raven: Lesson three—your secret lair isn’t very secret!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Majin Buu: And lesson four—never underestimate a Teen Titan!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: Titans! Together!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Act Three

………………………………............................................................................................................

Cyborg: (as Red Star flies off) I don’t even know where to begin! (Pull back to frame his buddy.)

Beast Boy: (grimly, clenching fist) I do.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: I’m not stopping until Dark’s mine.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Cyborg: Well… (readying cannon) …let’s get it started!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Rouge: I should have crushed you long ago.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Raven: Okay, fine.

Majin Buu: Just stay away from anyone older than you.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Menos: (gasping for breath) Necesito chocolate caliente. [“I need hot chocolate.”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Más, Menos: Más y Menos! Sí podemos! [“Más and Menos! Yes we can!”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Más: Cómo funciona? [“How does it work?”]

Menos: No tengo idea! Es más complicado que el Space Shuttle!

[“I have no idea! It’s more complicated than the Space Shuttle!”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Rouge: (mockingly) Is this part of the plan, leader?

Dark: A minor set back.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Rouge: Your set back is no longer minor. I do things my way now.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Robin: (from o.c.) Starfire!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Robin: (smiling, extending hand) I could use a hand.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Raven: So, does anyone actually have a plan?

Starfire: (warming up hands, as Majin Buu and Cyborg backs in) Yes! We kick the butt!

Majin Buu: Just like old times! (Here comes Beast Boy.)

Beast Boy: Except better! (Pan to Robin.)

Robin: Let’s finish this.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Immortus: Charge!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Gizmo: Cludge it! (They turn to bail out.) Let’s get outta here!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Gizmo: Huh?!?

Dragon: Now’s the time when you’re probably thinking, “I shouldn’t have hooked up with these Brotherhood guys.” Hate to say it, but “Told you!”

………………………………............................................................................................................

Cyborg: Dragon?

Dragon: Sorry I’m late.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dragon: I had to pick up a friend.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Gizmo: You’re with him?!? Traitor! (Now Cyborg has subdued CF.)

Dragon: (to Jinx) You probably have some catching up to do.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Jinx: Nothing personal.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Cyborg: Now that was unexpected.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Pantha: I have defeated you. (pulling his mask away) I am honor-bound to claim my prize!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Más, Menos: (impressed) Ooooh! Es Coollyo! [“He’s cool!”]

………………………………............................................................................................................

Raven: Is it just me, or is this getting easier? (She stops short.)

Rouge: (from o.c.) Children…

………………………………............................................................................................................

Rouge: …when will you learn?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Raven: (to the others) Like I said.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Jinx: (innocently) Oops. Did I do that?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: I think it’s time for me to leave.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Robin: You’re not going anywhere! (Dark turns to face them.)

Dark: Then you give me no choice.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: A little something to keep you busy.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Cyborg: Aw, man, and just when this was starting to get fun!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: (starting a run) He is not getting away.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Robin: It’s over, Dark. (Beast Boy flies up and resumes human form in a crouch.)

Beast Boy: Isn’t that obvious? Duh!

Dark: Sometimes the only way to win is to clear everything.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: In only a moment, this entire base will be gone.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Cyborg: It’s a fusion device— (Starfire flies in.) —and a big one. I have no idea how to shut it down. (truly scared) We need a miracle.

Majin Buu: (getting an idea) No. We need a friend.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: (from o.c.) I am afraid you have simply run out of options.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: Pity.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: Going down.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Herald: Any requests?

Cyborg: Far away would be good!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: (to Dark) You know, bringing all these guys together was pretty stupid.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: You think you have won. (pan to the Robin, Starfire and Majin Buu) It’s far from it.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Dark: Soon you will all see the future… (a ring of fire surround Dark then pan to Dark) …and it is a Dark one.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Beast Boy: (from inside) Home sweet home!

………………………………............................................................................................................

Cyborg: I sure missed this place. (Dragon’s reflection appears in the glass, surprising him.)

Dragon: (looking around) Sure whatever! Got any eats?

………………………………............................................................................................................

Starfire: The Dr. Light?

Raven: Somehow that doesn’t surprise me.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Cyborg: Maybe we oughta show him who he’s up against.

Raven: He’s totally gonna freak this time.

………………………………............................................................................................................

Robin: (voice over) Titans! Go!

So Busted

A Phineas and Ferb fic

Candace finally busts the boys, and it all goes downhill from there.

Phineas grinned at his brother. "Ready?"

Ferb put his welding glasses on and gave him a thumbs up.

The triangle-headed boy did the same, and then pushed the little red button.

Isabella went flying, her joyful scream reaching their ears in a pleasant way. She soared back down to earth, and hit the ground rolling. Lights flashed as she tumbled across the giant game board. The bumpers flicked her back into play, and she bounced between a few more pins.

"This is the best idea we've ever had," Phineas said happily.

Buford and Baljeet were working the bumpers, keeping the Isa-ball-a in play. "High score!" Buford shouted.

Little did the boys know that a force of evil was scoping them out from the living room, binoculars pinned to her eyes. "I figured it out, Stacey," Candace murmured into her phone. "I won't even tell them I'm busting them. I'm just going to sit here until Mom gets home and then I'll bust them."

"Um, don't you think this is going a little too far?" Stacey wondered, concern evident in her voice.

"NO IT IS NOT!" Candace shouted. On the other end of the line, Stacey cowered at her ferocity.

Meanwhile, at Doofenshmirtz Evil Inc., Perry was in the process of foiling Doof's latest evil scheme. This one involved an oversize Ducky Momo costume and several jars of peanut butter.

"How did you escape your trap, Perry the Platypus?" Doof wondered. He stared at the sticky goops of peanut butter in confusion, certain that his trap had been foolproof.

It may have been foolproof, but it was not platypus-proof.

Perry smacked him with his epic beaver tail. Doof then got out his peanut-butter-glob-firing-inator and started shooting at the evasive agent. Perry then hid in the Ducky Momo costume, causing Doof to destroy his own evil plan by pelting it with globs of peanut butter.

"Gah! Curse you, Perry the Platypus!" Doof cried agonizingly. Perry slid out of the costume and, taking care to tread on the peanut-butter-glob-firing-inator, he left the building.

Back at the Flynn/Fletcher household, Candace was glued to the window, determined not to miss a moment of what was happening outside. Her mom's crocheting class had ended about ten minutes ago, and any moment now the red car would be pulling into the driveway. The boys' giant human pinball machine still hadn't vanished.

"Mustn't get too confident now," she told herself. "If I think this is my lucky day, it'll fold up into a little present or sink into the ground or get carried away by a helicopter. Can't let myself get cocky." Determinedly, she continued to gaze at the backyard.

Her heart pounded as she heard the front door open. She couldn't believe it. It was still there. The jingling of keys reached her ears, and it took all her self control not to run and drag her mother to the window.

"Candace, look at what I made for the boys," she heard her mother call. "I've been working on it for weeks and—Candace? Why are you staring at the backyard?"

Candace took a deep breath and chanced to speak. "Come and see," she said simply, and winced. What if speaking the words had jinxed it somehow?

"Honey, I don't see what could possibly be out there that you—." She gasped. "Oh my gosh," she breathed. Her voice escalated into a yell. "What are they doing!" Linda rushed outside, her face getting redder by the minute.

Candace followed cautiously. It was too good to be true. Maybe this wasn't her mom, like that one time with the alien. Or maybe she would suffer from short term memory loss, and the boys would get away with yet another crazy stunt.

"Oh. Hey Mom!" Phineas called, waving happily. "Like our pinball machine?"

"LIKE IT?" screamed Linda.

Ferb met Phineas's eyes and gave him a thumbs up. Candace felt a grin splitting her lips. This was the moment she had been waiting for. She got herself ready for the "so busted" dance.

"I can't believe you two did this!" she yelled, and the boys cowered back in fear. "Do you have any idea how dangerous this is? You could get killed! And you put all the kids in the neighborhood in danger, too. How could my sons be so irresponsible? You are grounded, Phineas and Ferb! For… for the rest of summer!"

The two were silent as they stared at their fuming mother in shock. Finally, a single word escaped Ferb's mouth. "What?" he said disbelievingly.

"You heard me, GROUNDED!" Linda shrieked. "Go to your room, the both of you! I'm calling your father the instant I get back inside the house. Just wait until he hears about this!"

"Yes!" Candace cheered. "So busted, so busted, so busted!"

"Um, Mrs. Flynn," Isabella said innocently, her eyes still spinning from being the ball, "we weren't doing anything dangerous. We do things like this all the time, and—."

"WHAT?" she exclaimed. "All the TIME? Oh, I am calling your parents, young lady. And yours, and yours, Baljeet and Buford. I suggest you go home and tell them yourselves before you make things any worse for yourselves." She turned to Candace, who was still happily dancing around. "Honey, I am so sorry I never believed you. How many times have my babies been in mortal danger this summer?"

"Only every day!" Candace told her happily.

Linda sighed, and she looked close to tears. "I'm calling Lawrence," she said, and she went into the house.

Candace skipped after her, the happiest she'd ever been. This was the best day ever. "Oh, there you are Perry," she said, noticing the blue-furred platypus.

"I thought I told you two to go to your room!" Linda commanded.

Candace blinked through her blissful happiness and saw her brothers standing on the stairs.

"We are," Phineas assured her. And then, just before he proceeded up to the second floor, Candace saw something she had never seen on the face of her brother before.

A truly furious, coldhearted glare.

"Candace doesn't want us to have fun," Phineas declared to Ferb. "That's what she's been trying to do all summer; get us in trouble so we won't have fun anymore."

"It is rather cruel," Ferb mentioned.

"Cruel?" Phineas repeated. "It's awful! Terrible! Beyond the normal brother-sister meanness! There was nothing wrong with what we were doing." Phineas paused, and Ferb could practically see the light bulb appearing over his brother's triangle head. "Ferb," he said evilly, "I know what we're going to do tomorrow."

Ferb blinked blankly. They were grounded. Everyone knew that when you were grounded, you couldn't do anything. Mom's word was law.

"I know, I know," Phineas said, looking guilty. "We'll be breaking Mom's rules, but we wouldn't have to do that if a certain sister hadn't ruined everything for us."

Ferb blinked in understanding. He pulled out the project book.

"Good thinking," agreed his brother. "This will take a while to plan."

When morning came, the boys woke up, satisfied with the plot they had come up with earlier. It was perfect, and, most importantly, it was mean.

"Ready Ferb?" Phineas asked his brother.

Ferb blinked in response, and in a heartbeat they had sped out of the room and assumed their places at the table.

"Phineas! Ferb!" cried Linda, looking at them indignantly from behind the kitchen counter. "What are you going to do today?"

"We're going to b—ow," Phineas said, massaging the place Ferb had elbowed him. "I mean we're not doing anything, because we're grounded."

"You've got that right, young man," she continued. She began wiping the counter of whatever. "Candace is going to be in charge. The fastest flight your father could get from Britain lands four hours away, so I'll be gone for the day."

"Okay," Phineas replied.

Linda glared at the stain in the counter. "And when we get back, ooh, you two will be in so much trouble."

Phineas and Ferb blinked at each other. "Okay," he said again. He looked around awkwardly, and in doing so, noticed the absence of a certain semi-aquatic egg laying mammal. "Hey, where's Perry?" he asked.

The answer to that was Candace's room. When Perry was certain no one was looking, he stood up on his back feet and donned his hat. He snuck under her bed, so that only his eyes were visible. Abruptly, those vanished as well, and he reappeared in the briefing room, Major Monogram's enormous face being played on the screen.

"Good morning, Agent P," said MM. "There's something different about you today. Is that a new hat?"

Perry said nothing.

"Well, it looks striking," he continued. "Anyways, Doofenshmirtz recently took up a day job at the local animal shelter. We know that he's not one to volunteer his good services like that, so your mission is to find out his ulterior motive, and stop him if necessary."

The platypus saluted. A metal claw extended from the ceiling (much to our loyal agent's alarm) and picked him up. As he exited the room via giant metal claw, the music kicked in, with a girl's choir of "A-gent P!"

Candace gleefully waved Linda goodbye from the driveway, watching the dejected faces in the living room window from the corner of her eye. Finally! Her brothers had been busted. This called for a victory song.

"I finally did it

The boys have been busted

I never quit it

I'm again trusted

Because they're GROUNDED

And that's how they're gonna stay!

Yes they're GROUNED

So I'm gonna call Jere-may!"

And with that, she pulled out her phone and dialed his number.

Inside, Phineas and Ferb had stopped watching their sister, and instead took over her song.

"Yes we're GROUNDED

But that's not gonna stop us

Forever GROUNDED

Because our parents don't trust us

We're gonna get her back!

Plan Candace: Attack!

She will regret the day

She took our summer away

The war is on

It has been from the get go

And in the form of song

This is our manifesto!

The boys gave a final jam on the guitars they had pulled out of thin air somewhere near the middle of Phineas's singing. "Great imrpov, brother," Ferb congratulated.

"Thanks," Phineas said. "Your dancing was pretty spectacular." He tossed his guitar away. "Now, we can't perform this plan alone. Think Isabella will be up for some revenge?"

"Of course!" cried the black haired girl. The boys were standing outside her bedroom window, as it was on the ground floor of her house. "It is Fireside Girl policy to seek vengeance on those who have wronged you!"

"Aren't you grounded, too, though?" Phineas asked.

"Well, yeah," said Isabella guiltily, "but that's not going to stop me! You two said so yourselves, remember? The song?"

"Oh yeah," said Phineas. He extended his hand to help her get over the sill. She took it gratefully, and out she hopped. "Come on, we still need to get Baljeet and Buford."

"No, no, no," Baljeet said firmly. He folded his arms and shook his head. "I am in so much trouble because of you, Phineas. Do you not see this black sash on my arm?"

"I do see it, Baljeet, and I was going to ask you what it was for…" Phineas trailed off.

"It is a sign that I am a disrespectful child. A bad seed! My God, is your triangle head full of nothing but troublesome schemes? I cannot show my face in public without feeling such a terrible shame," finished their Indian friend angrily.

"I never meant for this to happen!" Phineas argued heatedly.

"You people make me sick!" replied Baljeet, butting heads with his former friend.

"Boys, boys!" Isabella interrupted, stepping between the two. "Arguing isn't going to get Candace into trouble. Baljeet, we could use your help. Would you?"

Baljeet looked pointedly away. "No thank you," he said firmly. "This is one antic I would rather like to sit out."

Phineas huffed at him. "Very well," he forced. "We can still try Buford. Goodbye, Baljeet."

"Goodbye, Phineas," replied Baljeet.

Doofenshmirtz holding a puppy!

Doof was holding the adorable little creature with caring hands, scratching it behind the ears so that its tail wagged happily. Abruptly, the door to the shelter burst open, revealing the most spectacular secret agent of all time with his dukes up.

"Ah, Perry the Platypus, right on time," Doof complimented. "Now, would you do me a favor?"

Perry blinked and lowered his fists.

Doof pressed a button on the wall, and a cage fell from the ceiling. It landed just to the right of its target. Perry's face went from one of fear to one of exasperation.

"Oh darn it," Doof cursed. "I guess you'll just have to pretend you're trapped so you can listen to my evil monologue. See, Perry the Platypus, when I was a young boy, all I ever wanted was a puppy. But my parents were evil, villainous fiends who got my brother Roger all the cats he could stand, and they left me puppy-less.

"Well, this is my revenge! I shall place a chip in all the ears of the puppies here in the animal shelter, like so—are you watching, Perry the Platypus? There. This will make them—when the chip is activated—obey only my voice. And then when the puppies are adopted, I shall still have control over them, and with an army of puppies I, Heinz Doofenshmirtz, shall control the entire Tristate Area!" Doof glanced at Perry, who arched an eyebrow. "What?" Doof asked. "It could work."

Perry nodded sarcastically.

Doof glared at him. He placed the puppy that was in his arms on the ground. "Sic him, Fido!"

The puppy ambled towards Perry, his tongue lolling. Perry blinked. It was too cute. He wanted to reach out and pet it, and did so. Abruptly, tiny puppy teeth sunk into his arm. If he could speak, what Perry would have said then was "YOW!"

"There she is," Phineas said, eyes in his binoculars. He, Ferb, and Isabella were hiding in the bushes outside Jeremy's house. They had encountered a problem with Buford similar to that they'd had with Baljeet, leaving the whole revenge business to the three of them.

"What's she doing?" Isabella inquired.

Phineas hesitated. "She's going to the door. Jeremy just opened the door. Now he's outside with her. They're walking, they're walking, they're COMING THIS WAY! DUCK!" he cried.

The three of them dove into the leaves just in time.

"Did you hear something, Candace?" Jeremy asked.

"You're interrupting my story of how I finally busted my brothers!" Candace said indignantly. "Anyways, so I was…"

Phineas glared in her direction, unable to believe what was reaching his ears. "That bitch!" he hissed, and Ferb winced at his cruel language. "Sorry Ferb, but she's really making me mad." He adjusted some of the leaves so he could see. "Quick, there they go. After them!"

As they inconspicuously trailed their sister, Isabella panted out her question. "So what… exactly are we going to do to get Candace?" she asked.

Ferb pulled out his camera and winked.

"What he said," Phineas agreed.

Isabella blinked. "But he didn't say anything," she protested. "Hey, wait up!"

"Okay," Phineas said, going into plan mode. "A date in the park. Perfect. Ferb, we covered that possibility, right?"

His brother pulled out the project book and leafed through the pages, finally presenting Phineas with a thumbs up.

"Excellent. Execute, plan Candace: Attack version P," commanded the triangle shaped boy.

"What do you want me to do?" asked Isabella.

Phineas pulled a rope out of nowhere. "Run this from that tree, across the path, and tie it around that bench over there, okay?" As she left to do as he said, Phineas turned to Ferb. "Position the camera over there, so we'll get a good angle. I'm going to place these roller skates near the ice cream cart. You know the rest."

Ferb nodded. He placed the camera as Phineas had instructed and checked the view. Perfect. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a stick of gum, which he proceeded to chew. Very sneakily, he crept over to the bench and placed the chewed gum on one of the wooden bars. Afterwards, he pulled a quarter from his pocket and set it delicately on the ground in front of the bench.

Phineas looked around, praying that the dog would be there. They had an alternate plan in case the dog wasn't there, but it would be so much more humiliating if it was. To his joy, he spied the mangy creature nosing around a trash bin. He found a sizable stick and lay in wait, ready to whistle at the given signal.

"Hey," Isabella panted, and he jumped. He hadn't been expecting her to join him. "Oh, it's that stray," she remarked, gesturing to the dog.

"Yup," Phineas replied, "and he's a key element in our plan. Oh!" he cried, and he lowered his voice. "Look, there they are!"

The two remained silent as Candace and her boyfriend took a seat on the bench… the same bench Isabella had tied the rope around and Ferb had stuck his gum on. Candace sat directly on the chewed wad. Perfect.

Candace and Jeremy talked for a bit, and Phineas watched intently as he waited for one of them to see the quarter. Abruptly, the two kissed, shocking the young boy. And it wasn't just a kiss; this was a full blown make out session.

"Ew," Phineas said, disgusted. "I thought people only did that in movies."

"You mean you don't want to do that with someone?" Isabella questioned with hurt in her voice.

Phineas noticed her pain, and was about to press the matter when Candace saw the quarter. He quickly forgot about Isabella and watched intently as she bent over to pick it up. Jeremy noticed the gum on her skirt as she did so. All according to plan.

Candace said something, and Jeremy assured her of something else. He then took the quarter, thinking he was saving Candace some dignity, and went to the ice cream cart to purchase a cone for her. Phineas almost laughed aloud. The blond headed boy was doing exactly the opposite.

Phineas raised the stick, and his lips formed a low whistle. The stray mutt's ears pricked up, searching for the source of the noise. He whistled again. This time the dog saw him, tail wagging and tongue hanging out happily.

"See the stick, boy?" Phineas coaxed, waving it slowly back and forth. The dog's eyes followed it intently. "See it? Then go GET IT!" And he threw the stick in Jeremy's general direction.

The mutt bolted after it. It got the stick, but it had too much momentum. Jeremy saw this, and tried to run, but alas, his feet landed in the roller skates Phineas had so conveniently placed earlier. Jeremy went rolling down the sidewalk, making sounds to indicate he was off balance. The dog continued to chase him as he fought to stay upright and keep from dropping Candace's ice cream.

"Oh no," he said, for he had seen the rope. He braced himself, expecting to trip, but he was going far too fast for that. Instead, he took the rope with him, dragging along the bench, which had Candace gum-glued to it.

Suddenly, the rope ran out, and the tree bent in an effort to keep its roots in the ground. Jeremy collided with Candace and the bench, dropping the ice cream on her. They were both pulled around by the rope, and finally launched into the fountain.

"Candace? Are you okay?" Jeremy said. His attempt to stand was foiled by the roller skates, and he fell again. However, in falling, he was able to get a good look at the roller skates stuck to his feet, particularly at the name written on them in Sharpie. He blinked. "You set this all up?"

"Huh?" repeated Candace. She tried to get off the bench, which was on top of her, but had no such luck. "What makes you think I would do something like this?"

Jeremy glared at her through his sopping bangs. "Maybe you want to break up with me," he said testily.

"What? No! Why would I want that?" Candace cried. "We're going to get married and have two kids! Xavier and Amanda. And then we'll grow old and—."

"That's just creepy," Jeremy growled.

Candace continued her vain effort to get her butt unstuck from the bench. "I don't understand!" she wailed.

"You know what? I think you did all this because you don't have a nickname," Jeremy said. He had finally managed to stand up. "Well now you do, Gum Butt. I'm leaving. And I never, ever want to see you again, Candace Flynn!" He stumbled out of the fountain. "And I'm keeping the roller skates!" he called as an afterthought. The mutt followed him, seeming to think he had thrown the stick. It whined for Jeremy to play some more.

Candace, having unstuck herself from the bench, sunk down into the shallows of the fountain, placed her head in her hands, and began to cry.

Phineas and Ferb hi-fived.

"That… that was really mean, you guys," Isabella said hesitantly.

"She deserved it," Ferb justified. He looked to Phineas. "What shall we do tomorrow, brother?"

"I don't know," Phineas said. His hand found Isabella's. "I kinda wanna try what Candace and Jeremy were doing before we destroyed their relationship."

Perry waved his arm around frantically. Doofenshmirtz laughed hysterically. "See? An army of puppies will give me what I want!" he chortled.

Snapping out of the pain, Perry launched himself at Doofenshmirtz. With a flurry of martial arts moves, the platypus knocked the doctor to the ground. He ripped the device that controlled the puppy's mind out of Doof's fingers and crushed it under his webbed foot.

"Aw, c'mon, Perry the platypus, that wasn't even a fight!" Doof cried in disappointment. "I mean, you hit me, what, four times? And it's over? I didn't even lay a hand on you! Hey, don't you go walking away, Perry the platypus, I didn't finish my rant!"

Perry rolled his eyes. He stooped by the puppy and pinched the device out of its ear. The dog shook its head and yapped excitedly. Perry crushed the chip between his fingers.

"Are you listening to me, Perry the platypus? This is an animal shelter, you know, I have hundreds of animal medical products at my disposal! I just might use those to take over the Tristate Area. What do you say to that, Perry the platypus?"

The door slammed shut, leaving Doofenshmirtz all alone with his puppy, Fido.

Phineas and Ferb hardly heard a word of their father's angry lecture. They were too busy relishing in the sobs of Candace upstairs as their mother tried to comfort her.

"…going into the eighth grade now, and I thought boys your age were more responsible…" Lawrence rambled on and on. "…had to leave London because of you two…Lord knows what would have happened if your sister hadn't been looking out for you—."

"Looking out for us?" Phineas repeated. He jumped off the couch, on his feet. "We were perfectly fine! We can take care of ourselves, Dad. Candace was just hell bent on getting us in trouble, and now that she's succeeded, what will either of us do all summer?"

"Where did you learn such language, young man? I'm beginning to think we should put you and Ferb in separate rooms, if these are the schemes that come out of both your heads!" Lawrence roared. "I don't care if your brains die of boredom! You could kill yourselves doing the shenanigans you've been doing and I won't hear another word of it!" He pointed up the stairs fiercely. "To your room!"

Both got off the couch, prepared to head up the stairs, when Lawrence interrupted. "Not you, Ferb. Just Phineas. I want to talk to you alone."

Eyes wide, Ferb sat back on the couch. Phineas cast one last glare at his father before marching up the stairs.

Lawrence sighed and sat down next to his son. He stared at him for a long time, wondering where on earth the green hair had come from. Absently, he placed his arm on his shoulder, patting him. "You know," he began, "I don't mind that you two were doing crazy, death defying things so much."

Ferb blinked and looked up at his father. It didn't make sense. They had broken rules, hadn't they? And when rules were broken, punishment had to be issued. Ferb was already prepared to sleep on the couch until the guest room was fixed into a suitable bedroom for him.

"No, what I do mind, though, is that your brother is acting so… rebellious, I suppose." Lawrence shook his head. "He's not my son, technically. I can't punish him without feeling a little guilty. But he is your brother. Please talk some sense into him, Franklin."

Ferb winced. The use of his full name wasn't a common occurrence, not even when he was in trouble. He did not move. A brother was a brother, and he felt they were justified in what they did to their sister. Not that their father knew it was them who did it.

Silently, Ferb got up and walked over to the stairs. He did not look back at his father. He would handle this on his own.

Phineas did not sleep that night. It wasn't the restless kind of wakefulness, but the kind where he wanted to stay awake. He had to sort out all the things that were buzzing around his head. When Ferb had finally crept into the darkened bedroom, he had feigned sleep so his brother wouldn't interrupt his thinking.

The silence in the room told him Ferb was awake as well. Perhaps his mind was busy also. It hardly mattered.

Until Ferb broke the silence.

"I think we should tell Jeremy it was us," he said simply. His voice sounded loud in the quiet of the room.

Phineas turned to stare at him. Ferb's eyes were trained to the ceiling, awaiting his reply. He narrowed his eyes and followed suit. "Why?" he asked the ceiling with anger in his voice.

Ferb exhaled softly. "Because," he began, "the damage has been done. Candace has been hurt. We don't need to elongate the torture."

"Out torture is going to last all summer, Ferb," Phineas snapped. "It's only fair that hers does the same."

"Phineas, what we're doing to her isn't torture. It's emotional murder. What if she kills herself over this?"

"Oh she won't do that," Phineas said, waving away his suggestion.

Ferb fell silent. Phineas leaned into his pillows, feeling victorious. He smiled as he thought about tomorrow. For some reason, it felt more exciting to do what his parents told him he shouldn't. It was more of an adrenaline rush. What if he could keep creating his crazy inventions in secret? It would be ten times more thrilling, ten times more fun. He could already feel the exhilaration in performing something his parents would shake their heads at. Who knew it would be fun to disobey?

There was a chattering sound, and Phineas turned his head. "Oh," he laughed. "There you are, Perry."

Ferb walked down the street alone. It felt weird, not having Phineas by his side, but the redhead had disappeared. Guilt ripped through the poor boy when he remembered that he was grounded, and he wasn't supposed to leave the house, but he had to set things right.

He walked up to Jeremy's front door, blinked a few times, and knocked. Not a minute later, the door was opened by Jeremy's younger sister. Ferb couldn't remember her name.

"Who are you?" she asked sweetly, with special emphasis on the last word.

Ferb just blinked at her. He was a man of few words, and he wasn't about to waste them on this annoying little girl.

The girl frowned. "JEREMY!" she yelled abruptly. Ferb jumped. "There's a guy with green hair at the door and he won't talk to me!"

A moment later, Jeremy appeared at the door. He regarded Ferb with distaste. "Go on inside, Suzy. He's here to talk to me." The little girl rushed back inside, and Jeremy closed the door. "What, Ferb?" he snapped.

Ferb blinked.

Jeremy continued to glare at him. "You could say anything; I won't take her back. That was the most humiliating thing that has ever happened to me."

Again, the green headed boy blinked.

"No, that won't convince me of anything," he continued stubbornly.

Ferb's eyes grew big and sad, like those of a deer. He folded his hands in a pleading motion.

Jeremy's face softened a bit. "Don't beg, please. That was one thing I can't forgive her for. I mean, all that over a nickname?"

Ferb gave the slightest shake of his head.

"What?" he cried. "You mean that wasn't Candace? But they were her roller skates! And… wait a second." His expression changed. "There's something not fitting here. Why are you here all by yourself? Where's the other half of the dynamic duo?"

Sadly, Ferb looked away and shrugged. He had a pretty good idea, but he didn't want to voice it around someone who was so close with Candace. Ferb was sick of everyone getting in trouble.

To his surprise, Jeremy placed a hand on his shoulder. "Aw, don't worry, little guy. It's gonna be alright. I'm sure he's at home, waiting for you. Let's go. I've got some apologizing to do."

Ferb nodded. He and Jeremy walked back to his house, where Candace's wails could be heard even from the street. Together, they plodded through the door and up the stairs, where they went their separate ways.

Jeremy timidly opened the door to Candace's room, looked to Ferb for luck, and entered. Ferb turned to his own bedroom door, took a deep breath, and finally turned the knob.

The door swung open, and Ferb slammed it closed again. What in the name of the Queen was going on in there? Phineas? And Isabella? And unless his eyes had deceived him, they were doing something he was certain they shouldn't be.

"Ferb? What's the matter?" said Linda, appearing behind him. "Why are you just staring at the door? You can go in, you know."

He blinked. No he couldn't. No no no no no. He would feel like he was violating Phineas's privacy, and not to mention his brother would surely get mad at him if he did.

Linda stared at him. "Ferb? Are you alright?" She reached for the handle. "Did your brother throw you out? Phine—!"

Ferb knocked her hand away. He couldn't let her see Phineas and Isabella doing… that. "Jeremy's here," he said quickly.

"Oh?" said Linda. "Wow, that was a short fight. I should go make some pie to celebrate." And, thank God, she left.

Hesitantly, Ferb opened the door again. He exhaled in relief. Phineas and Isabella had stopped. They were still on Phineas's raft bed, a flush in their cheeks and their hair messy, but at least they weren't all entwined like earlier. And their clothes were still on. Now that would have been bad.

Phineas cleared his throat. "Ferb," he said, and there was a tone in his voice that Ferb had never heard before, "can't you see we're busy?"

Ferb walked straight across the room, rummaged through his sock drawer, and pulled out a notebook. He turned around and left the room, leaving the door wide open.

Before he even reached the end of the hall, he heard it close again. Ferb shuddered, and he ran the rest of the way to Candace's Panic Room.

He liked the Panic Room. It was nice and small and cut off from the rest of the family. Usually, when he went there, he would draw Vanessa in his notebook, or write down something that upset him.

Here was the first entry:

3-14-2005 Dad told me Mom died.

And that was all it said.

Afterwards, there were a few other dates that he had jotted down, like when Candace broke his favorite pen or when Perry was sick. Between those there were drawings of Vanessa, even one silly, childish cartoon of the two of them. Despite the embarrassment it caused him, Ferb could not bring himself to rip it out.

He picked up the pencil and flipped to the last page he had soiled with his words or doodles. This page had several drawings of eyes as he had fought to perfect Vanessa's perfect orbs. At the bottom, there was an open space. He chose to scrawl his sadness here.

7-24-2010 Caught Phineas with Isabella. Something's wrong with him.

Ferb set the pencil down and read over what he had written. It wasn't much, but the bareness of it helped to get his brain going. What exactly had he caught Phineas doing with Isabella? Something he was certain Phineas had considered gross not twenty-four hours ago. That was why he feared something was wrong with him.

Lawrence was right. Phineas was acting rebellious. Before, there had never been a need to act out. Now Ferb was extremely concerned for his brother. This was one story that couldn't have a happy ending.

He stayed in the Panic Room for a long time, forcing himself to calm down. Eventually he began to draw some of his favorite days from summer, like the roller coaster and the race car. When he and Phineas weren't breaking the rules and got along. When Isabella was a friend and not an object of Phineas's newfound lust.

She was just something Phineas was using to rebel against their parents. Isabella was going to get hurt at some point. It was only a matter of time.

Suddenly, Ferb began to wonder just how far Phineas would take this rebelling thing. Would he dabble with drugs? Alcohol? For God's sake, he was only thirteen! What if he started picking fights? He'd be killed!

Ferb knocked his head against the wall of the Panic Room, thinking of the irony. He was panicking in the Panic Room. Oh, how cute.

Finally, he heard Linda call for dinner. Ferb crawled out of the Panic Room, wondering where he could hide his notebook. He would need a new place for it, since Phineas had seen him retrieve it from the sock drawer. For now, Dad's old motorbike helmet would suffice.

Isabella ate dinner with them. Ferb couldn't believe how his parents didn't notice the playfully guilty looks she and Phineas shot each other across the table. He found that his appetite deteriorated with each glance they exchanged.

Of course, Linda noticed. "What's the matter, Ferb? Not hungry?" she inquired.

And, as it goes, her noticing led to Phineas noticing. "Yeah Ferb, why so down?" he asked, though his tone was everything but sympathetic. In fact, his expression was smug, as if he had intended for Ferb to feel the way he did.

Ferb looked at his father. "Can I sleep in the guest room from now on?" he asked.

Lawrence froze mid bite. His eyes flicked around the table, from Phineas (who was giving Ferb a challenging glare) to Ferb (who continued to look pleadingly at his father). "I suppose," he said finally.

Ferb said nothing, only met Phineas's glare with a blank expression. Abruptly, Ferb shoveled as much of his dinner as he could fit in his mouth, swallowed, and said, "Then I'll start cleaning."

As he walked away, he heard Linda talking to Phineas. "So," she said happily, "what did you and Isabella do today?"

"Nothing any good grounded kid with special privileges wouldn't do," Phineas replied, as if he'd rehearsed this reply. The table broke out in a formal laughter, and Ferb hurried to get away from it.

The guest room was a disaster. Dust lay around the room like an extra carpet. Cobwebs decorated each corner and the posts of the bed. Ferb coughed. He could hardly believe he would sleep on that. Maybe they could move his bed.

Ferb found the leaf blower they had tricked out a few years ago and switched it to Turbo Reverse. Everything flew towards him, but the room was cleaned. He flicked it off and set it down. A few pillows that had been sucked to the nozzle fell off sadly. Ferb gathered them up and began to rearrange them on the bed.

After an elongated period of making sure the pillows were perfect, he heard someone else enter the room. Looking up, Ferb saw Jeremy leaning on the doorway.

"Hey," he said gently, "do you need some help?"

Ferb shrugged. Jeremy stepped over the leaf blower and sat down on the bed next to Ferb. The younger boy stared up at him pitifully. Jeremy placed a hand on his shoulder. Ferb decided that this was the equivalent of a handshake nowadays. A very guilty, I-feel-sorry-for-you handshake.

"Something's up," he said. "I have never seen Phineas glare like that. Did you two have a fight?"

Again, he shrugged. This wasn't something Ferb was inclined to talk about, let alone with Jeremy. Perhaps if he remained silent, everyone would go away and let him think everything through.

After a few more unsuccessful attempts to get Ferb to talk, Jeremy left, saying Suzy was waiting for him at home. Ferb spent the next half hour trekking up the stairs, collecting his things, and bounding back down them. He made every effort possible to avoid his brother. He could feel Phineas watching him, though, and it only made him hurry even more.

Finally, all his things had been transported from the upstairs bedroom to the guest room on the ground floor. The movement of his bed would have to wait until tomorrow. Ferb could live with that. There couldn't be that many dead spiders under the covers, right?

The last thing Ferb needed was the notebook he had left in the basement. He headed down the stairs, bouncing up and down with each step. He searched the crowded floor, trying to locate the helmet he had stashed it in.

Panic coursed through him. Ferb raced the rest of the way down the stairs and came face to face with the person he wanted to see least. "Phineas!" he cried, something that was quite out of character for him.

Phineas was leaning against a box, the motorbike helmet upside down at his side and Ferb's notebook in his hands. He looked up at him quizzically, holding it up. "What is this?" he demanded.

Ferb said nothing. Phineas knew him well enough to interpret the silence.

"We're brothers, Ferb!" he exclaimed, waving the notebook around angrily. "We don't keep secrets like this from each other! When you're upset, you're supposed to talk to me, not a piece of paper. And who is this girl? You draw her an awful lot."

Ferb remained silent. His heart rate had spiked. The one thing no one was supposed to see was found by the person Ferb was slowly deciding he hated. He couldn't resist the urge to bite back. "What about you? Yesterday you never would have dreamed of kissing a girl, and what were you doing earlier?"

Phineas looked away. "That's different," he said.

"How so?" Ferb pressed.

"I was going to see if we could fix this, you know," snapped Phineas, changing the subject. "You're my brother. I don't like fighting with you."

"I don't like seeing you do things we both know you shouldn't," Ferb retaliated.

"So you're not going to go bungee jumping with me."

Ferb blinked. "We're grounded, Phineas. That term doesn't seem to mean anything to you anymore, but it does to me. I will not do anything that angers Mom."

Phineas huffed angrily. "Very well. You've chosen your path, I've chosen mine. I'll get Isabella and Buford to come with me."

"Have fun," Ferb told him.

"I will!" his brother cried. He stomped up the stairs, leaving Ferb alone in the darkness of the basement. He knelt down and picked up his notebook, dusting it off as he stood back up. Some of the pages had bent when Phineas dropped it. With a sigh, Ferb carried it up to his new bedroom to find a new hiding place for it.

Phineas and Isabella managed to convince Buford to come on their bungee jumping expedition off of the tallest building in Danville. Ferb locked himself in his new room and turned all his socks inside out, just for something to do.

Candace and Jeremy went on a date downtown. Lawrence tried to figure out how to take apart Ferb's bed to make it easier to transport, but unfortunately had no such luck. Ferb would have helped him had he been able to go in that room without seeing Phineas and Isabella on his brother's bed.

Meanwhile, Perry was in the briefing room, holding an empty coffee mug and giving Major Monogram the death glare. The major on the screen loosened his collar. "Look, Agent P, I know I said we'd get that cappuccino machine fixed last week, but our cappuccino machine repair guy is on a paid vacation with the front desk receptionist."

Perry continued to glare.

"I'm sorry, okay, but it's not my fault!" he continued.

Perry waved his hand, indicating he should get on with whatever the mission was.

"Oh right. Erm, Dr. Doofenshmirtz was seen walking around the supermarket yesterday, complaining about how he could never win. Afterwards, we saw him leave with a suspicious looking package. Your mission is to find out what it was, and how he intends to do evil with it." MM saluted, and Perry saluted exhaustedly back.

The platypus slid off his chair, eyelids drooping, and slouched to the slide.

Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!

Perry opened the door lazily, still holding his empty coffee mug. He couldn't defeat Doofenshmirtz until he had his coffee. Perhaps the evil scientist would loan him a cup.

"Oh, Perry the Platypus, how completely unexpected," Doof said. "And by unexpected I mean… completely pected!"

Perry looked around, waiting for the trap, but nothing happened. He arched an eyebrow at his foe.

Doof sighed. "I'm sorry Perry the Platypus, but I just didn't have the heart to set a trap for you today. You see, I've been feeling rather down lately, since I can never beat you, you know? I am a disgrace to all evil geniuses everywhere."

Perry just looked at his empty cup to see if some caffeine had magically appeared there. None had.

"So, as is evil genius policy, I must kill myself."

This sent the secret agent into full alert. His expression asked the all too obvious question.

"Why?" Doof said. "I just said why. I was actually considering jumping out the window," he gestured to the open window, "because my building is the tallest in the Tristate Area. But you see, I bought a gun yesterday instead. I always wanted to shoot one, so why not at my own head?"

Perry blinked and dropped his coffee mug. Doofenshmirtz was crazy! Sure, Perry didn't like the guy, but he didn't want him dead! He looked around wildly for the gun, and suddenly it was a race to get it.

"Here we are," Phineas proclaimed. "The tallest building in Danville." He dug several feet of bungee chord out of his backpack. "Let's secure them around these square air vents."

Isabella and Buford did as he said. They were all suited up in wetsuits, since there was no way Phineas could order bungee jumping gear without his parents noticing. Heck, those fools thought he was up in his tree house. They may be idiots, but they weren't completely oblivious.

Besides, Ferb would certainly tell.

He couldn't believe the spoil sport his stepbrother had become. Suddenly rules were all that were important to that Brit. Phineas couldn't stand being around him when he was like that; it would certainly destroy all his creativity.

He checked his bungee chord, testing the tension. Perfect. He had made all the calculations the night before. It was as safe as riding a bike down the driveway.

"Ready, Isabella?" he asked, grinning and offering his hand.

Isabella smiled happily and accepted. She took Buford's hand in her free one. "One," she said.

"Two," said Buford, and his voice shook with fear.

"THREE!" Phineas cried, and they jumped.

As they fell, their hands separated, each of them breaking off to enjoy the freefall individually. The pavement was rushing towards them. Any second now, the chords would snap them back up. It would all go according to plan.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz beat Perry to the gun, snatching it off the table and pointing it at his nemesis. "You know," he began, "perhaps I won't feel so depressed if I just kill you off instead, hm? Then I won't leave Vanessa all alone, and I can go to L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. as a hero. Wouldn't that be grand, Perry the Platypus?"

Perry grabbed the barrel of the gun, trying to redirect it from his beak. He managed to get under it and punch Doof in the stomach. The pain caused the evil doctor to pull the trigger, and Perry was certain he was done for.

The blasting pain never came. By some divine miracle, the bullet had gone straight out the window. Perry sent a silent prayer of thanks to the platypus god.

Doofenshmirtz, however, had rushed to the window to watch the path of the bullet. He was holding a severed rope that seemed to be hanging from the roof. "Uh oh," he said.

Phineas was flying. The rope snapped back up a mere few feet from the concrete, frightening all the people who were walking along the sidewalk. He laughed at their fright. He was being pulled up, up, up, almost to the height of the roof again. Isabella was above him, a look of horror on her face.

"It's fine," he yelled to her as he began his descent again.

"PHINEAS!" she shrieked.

Perry heard Isabella's cry, and he rushed to the window next to Doofenshmirtz. He took in the fact that Isabella and Buford were still bouncing up and down the entire length of the building, and that he could see three ropes hanging from the roof. Perry looked down and saw that the people down below had created a circle around something. He wasn't sure what it was, but there was a lot of red.

Slowly, the pieces connected in his platypus mind. A stunt like this could only be pulled off by Phineas and Ferb. And since Buford and Isabella were still bouncing, and since there were three ropes initially, someone must have fallen. And it was either Phineas, Ferb, or Baljeet.

Any of those three would cause his masters great misery.

Perry was hardly aware of what he was doing. Only one thing was certain in his mind, and that was that Doofenshmirtz had fired the gun that had severed the chord. His forepaws curled in Doof's shirt, and he felt his face contort in fury as he was beak to nose with his archenemy.

"I didn't mean it, Perry the Platypus!" Doof insisted. "How was I supposed to know people were bungee jumping off my building? It's not a common occurrence, you know."

It was the only time Perry truly wished he could speak. Instead, he reached out and clenched Doofenshmirtz's throat. "Grrgrgr," he said, making the chattering noise that was his only verbal communication.

Only when Doof had passed out did Perry realize what he was doing. He let go immediately. Revenge wasn't important now. Seeing who had fallen was. With that, he raced out of the apartment and down the building, finally scrambling on all fours to the scene of the fall.

The authorities had arrived. Lights flashed and sirens wailed.

"It's a kid," someone in a uniform said. "He jumped off the building."

"No, he's got a rope. I think he was trying to bungee jump."

"Look, there's two more still bouncing."

"Get them down, stat."

Isabella was crying. Buford was in shock. "What happened?" they demanded. Perry scurried under her legs, anxious to hear what had caused the—he swallowed—death of Phineas.

"We… we were bungee jumping, because we'd never done it before, and… and everything was working just fine, and all of a s-s-sudden Phineas's chord was broken. I didn't hear it snap but I heard a bang, and then he… he… he FELL!" she cried, and broke down in fresh sobs.

"What's his name? Do you know his parents' phone number?"

"Ph-Phineas Flynn," she managed, and proceeded to recite the number.

Perry was in shock. His masters had always survived the crazy antics they pulled, whether they thought they were in danger or not. And Phineas was never without Ferb. Where was he? Why would Phineas risk something so dangerous without his brother present?

"What happened?" Jeremy wondered. He and Candace were walking hand-in-hand when they came across the mob of people and emergency vehicles blocking their path. He slipped out of her grasp. "Hold on," he said, "I'm going to check it out."

Candace waited patiently, counting the moments he was gone. 310 seconds later he reappeared, looking pale. "Well?" she inquired. "What happened?"

He swallowed and shook his head, not speaking. All he did was take her hand and lead her away. Finally, once they had walked all the way to Candace's street, he spoke. "It was Phineas," he said quickly.

Candace gasped. "You mean he's out of the house when he's grounded? Oh, they are so busted!" She turned around, already dragging Jeremy away.

"It was just Phineas," he informed her.

Candace paused. "No Ferb? How odd. What was Phineas doing?"

Jeremy swallowed and looked close to tears. "Lying there," he said.

She looked at him expectantly, clearly not understanding.

"Bleeding," he said finally, and once again he tried to block out the memory. He closed his eyes, but all he could see was Phineas, lying face down on the sidewalk at a painful angle. There was blood; so much blood that it ran in rivers and pooled near his head. He remembered the whites of bones poking out of his back and through the wetsuit, saw his teeth poking through his lips.

However, the worst part had been his eyes. Phineas's eyes were open, the whites dirtied by fragments of cement and blood. They were stretched open, as if they were shocked, and they were so very lifeless.

"He was hurt?" Candace guessed.

Jeremy shrugged. "He's… dead, Candace." He didn't even let the news sink in before he gave a sharp tug on her arm. "Let's go tell your parents."

Ferb had turned his socks inside in and paired them up according to frumpiness. He then had arranged them artistically in his sock drawer. He was about to list every project they had done during the summer alphabetically from memory when he heard his mother scream.

Curious, he poked his head out to see her standing in the kitchen, the phone lying on the floor. She was shaking. Ferb stepped out. "What's wrong, Mum?" he asked.

Linda turned around, tears already leaking out her eyes. She opened her mouth, ready to speak, when the front door burst open.

"MOM!" Candace screeched, tearing into the kitchen. She was a wreck, her face red and eyes swollen with tears. "Phineas is DEAD!"

Ferb actually stumbled backwards. What? Impossible! They had just gone bungee jumping, that's all. To prove it, he picked the phone up from where it rested at his mother's feet and pressed the receiver to his ear.

"Ma'am? Ma'am, are you still there? Your son Phineas was just killed when he tried to bungee jump off the DEI building. It appears something cut through the rope while he was falling—."

Ferb slowly pulled the phone from his ear. It couldn't be. It simply couldn't be. Phineas was his invincible brother, who had survived every maniacal stunt of every summer with him. There was no way he was taken out by… by mere bungee jumping!

"Lawrence," Linda said, the word alone a cry for help. "Lawrence!"

Ferb's father came down the stairs, holding the screwdriver he had been using to dismantle Ferb's bed. "Yes, dear—what's wrong?"

She looked at her hands, then back at him. "Phineas," was all she could say.

Immediately Lawrence was worried. He dropped the screwdriver and took his wife's hands. "Now tell me what happened, Linda," he said a fast, soothing tone that wasn't accomplishing its purpose. In fact, it just revealed how worried he was. "What happened?"

"Phineas!" Linda yelled again, lengthening the word like it was a battle cry. Her voice choked with sobs and her legs gave way. She and her husband sank to the floor, Lawrence still not sure as to what happened and trying to calm her down.

"Ferb," he asked, seeing his son, "what's the matter, what happened to Phineas?"

Ferb blinked, and suddenly found he could not speak.

"It he hurt?" guessed Lawrence. "Kidnapped? Run away? What's happened?"

He tried to force words to come, but all that came out was a terrible strangled noise. Lawrence turned to Candace, who was in worse shape than her mother. "Candace?" he asked.

Candace cast a glance at Jeremy, who had wrapped his arms around her in an effort to comfort her. "Phineas is DEAD!" she screamed, and fell back into a fresh round of sobs.

Ferb had seen his father do many, many things, but the one stunt he had not witnessed was tears. And, as Lawrence's eyes began to sparkle, Ferb decided he did not want to. Silently, he retreated back to his room and closed the door. It did nothing to block out the wails of his mourning family.

Ferb tried to take a deep breath, only to find that his throat was dry and hot. His eyes began to sting, his knees grow weak. He slid against his bedroom door until he hit the floor. Abruptly he was reminded of sitting under that tree in the backyard with Phineas, and he forced himself to stand up again.

Phineas was gone now. He would never, ever do that again.

The realization of that caused Ferb to lose control. He wasn't a wailer, like the rest of his family, but never had he shed so many tears, not even when he found out his real mother had died. He made sobbing noises that he never thought could come out of his throat. His vision blurred with tears. He couldn't believe it.

And, the whole time, all he could think of was how this was so very much his fault.

It was probably the biggest attendance to any funeral ever in Danville. Linda and Lawrence didn't even know half the people who showed up, because every delivery man, every guy named Steve, every person who helped make the boys' day the "best day ever" was there.

Despite all these people, Ferb felt very alone. His mourning outfit was stuffy and uncomfortable in the summer heat. He walked around with Perry in his arms, wondering what to do with himself. The day his brother had died, Ferb had cried himself dry. He had no more tears to shed, and much preferred to wait until everyone else had left to pay his true respects to Phineas's closed casket. Of course he had done the whole ceremony thing, walked up to the casket after his parents and sister and done it publicly, but it hadn't felt sincere with everyone watching.

Perry chattered sadly, and Ferb petted his head in consolation. He wasn't sure the creature understood what was going on, but it was nice to think he did.

Soon, everyone had publicly said goodbye to Phineas in his coffin and was now mingling while the pallbearers were getting ready. Ferb took the opportunity to approach his brother's casket. He stared into the glossy cherry wood, seeing his own warped image. At first, he did not move, only blinked at himself in the shine of the wood. Finally he placed his hand on the wood, though the gesture did nothing to comfort him, or make him feel closer to his brother.

His mind was spinning with the millions of things he wanted to say, like how he wished he had gone bungee jumping with him, because if he had, maybe this never would have happened. He wanted to tell him how he thought it was dastardly of him to do something like what he did with Isabella when his only motive was rebelling against his parents. Isabella would be crushed if she knew, he told Phineas silently.

Ferb imagined his brother's peaceful face lying on the pillows of the coffin, though that was hardly the case. He knew the body was mangled and cut and not meant for human eyes. A small part of him could not help but feel Phineas deserved it.

He wanted to tell Phineas he hated him for what he did to Candace, what he did to him. He wanted to say how betrayed he felt, and at the same time he wanted to grovel in apology for how he had acted. They were brothers, right? Brothers didn't fight, or hate each other, or do any of the things he and Phineas had done to each other the past few days.

There were so many things Ferb wanted to say, and all that came out was "I'm sorry." Plain and simple.

Blinking, he patted the coffin with a sense of finality, and left Perry to say goodbye. He doubted the platypus would do anything, but it couldn't hurt.

As Ferb shuffled away, Perry stood upright and snuck around to the back of the casket. Major Monogram had given him the day off to say goodbye to Phineas.

Perry stood on the other side of the coffin, where no one could see him. He whipped out his hat, placed it on his head, and took it off again in salute. Phineas had been a good master. He would never forget him.

Assuming his cover as a mindless house pet again, Perry crawled off to find Ferb.

The pallbearers came out not long after that. Ferb was too distracted by his inner turmoil to pay attention to them. As if it were a dream, he watched them lower the coffin into the freshly dug grave and bury it. He only just heard his parents and sister crying. Briefly he saw Isabella bawling into the sleeves of Baljeet.

Most of it did not register until he realized that everyone had left, that the sky had long since darkened and that he was standing all alone in the cemetery before his brother's grave. Maybe his mother had tried to make him leave, or perhaps they had all decided he needed his space and left him alone. It wasn't like it mattered.

Ferb blinked in puzzlement. Why was he still here? He had nothing left to say to Phineas. Hands shoved deep in his pockets, Ferb turned around and left the cemetery in silence. He walked home slowly, counting the lines of sidewalk that passed under his feet.

He entered the house wondering why he did so. All that he could hear was the madly depressed sobs of his family, loud and raucous. It was impossible to think with all that noise, so he went upstairs to his former bedroom. The one he had shared with his dead brother.

The room was strangely quiet compared to the sob fest downstairs. He saw that his old bed had been disassembled, the mattress leaning against the wall. Almost warily, he sat on Phineas's bed. He glanced at the Sharpied writing of "S. S. Phineas" on the side, remembering the day his brother had penned those letters onto the rubber of the raft.

The room felt very empty. Ferb noticed a paper lying on the pillow, slightly crumpled and marked up with various notes. The plans for the bungee jump, he realized. Apparently no one had been in the room (or at least given a good look around it) since that day. Gingerly he picked up the paper and read over it. Completely flawless, as always. A freak accident had taken Phineas, not an error in his calculations.

Not the absence of Ferb checking his work.

This hurt Ferb, strangely. It showed that his brother could have gotten on perfectly fine without him. He wasn't really needed.

Ferb closed his eyes and crushed the paper into a ball. He tossed it blindly, already knowing it would land in the metal trash bin that sat next to the dresser. Fine, Phineas, he thought. I don't need you either.

Out of the chest pocket in his suit, Ferb pulled out the notebook. He flipped to the next blank page, the one directly after the one that read 7-25-2010 Phineas died. He found a pen between Phineas's mattress and the rubber of the raft. 8-4-2010 From now on it is just Ferb.

He clicked the pen closed and tossed it behind him. The notebook went back into his pocket. Ferb was already planning a hiding place for it in his new bedroom.

Ferb stood from Phineas's bed and walked to the door. He turned, gave the room one last look, and flicked off the light.


 * AN: Tada. Twas beautiful, in my opinion. Even though tragedy doesn't really work with P&F, I did it anyways. This story was meant to be light and humorous, and that's how it ended up. Oh well. That's what happens. Hope you enjoyed my long one shot and thanks for reading!*
