Super Goofballs, Book 4 - Peter Hannan
CHAPTER 1
Sleepless in Gritty City
There was a whole lotta pounding going on. It was 4:52 A.M. and I hadn’t slept a wink all night. Not even half a wink. My head was pounding. Rain was still pounding on the roof. And down in the basement, Blunder Mutt had been growling and pounding on his snare drum with his face, at a rate of thirty beats per minute—for seven hours. That’s twelve thousand, six hundred beats. I know, because I counted them. With most people, or dogs, or really anybody else, I’d worry about them hurting themselves, but Blunder seems to have no nerve endings within the general vicinity of his brain.
At around 1:30 A.M., the Super Goofball roommates, also sleepless, had had enough and all started pounding on their floors and walls with their fists while shouting, Stop that pounding!
Even though the roommates had proven to be pretty super occasionally, most of the time I doubted Granny’s sanity for letting them move into our house in the first place. And their numbers seemed to be growing daily: Blunder Mutt, Super Vacation Man (Blunder’s vacation-loving-but-not-taking partner), Scoodlyboot (the most beautiful dog in the world, who loves Blunder Mutt), Mighty Tighty Whitey (super British underpants), the Terrifyin’ Tubesock Lad (Mighty’s Irish cousin), Wonder Boulder (superstrong, supersolid citizen), Pooky the Paranormal Parakeet (I knew you were gonna say that!
), SuperSass CuteGirl (her name says it all), the Impossibly Tough Two-headed Infant (Biff and Smiff: two heads are more complicated than one), the Frankenstein Punster (monstrous super punner), T-Tex3000 (tiny and crazy space-cowboy–dinosaur). Plus, the original residents: Granny (the Bodacious Backwards Woman) and me (Amazing Techno Dude).
The three newest residents—the most adorable little stray cats you’ve ever seen—had been left on our doorstep in the pouring rain the night before. They had somehow slept through all that pounding. I could see their cute little tails sticking out from under their cute little blanket in their cute little basket. They were the sanest creatures in the house. Their youth and inexperience would make it easy for me to mold them into really good sidekicks. They had positive attitudes, no bad habits, and were extremely eager to learn. I’d been looking for a sidekick ever since I stopped being Granny’s.
Above the pounding, I heard some strange, unearthly sounds coming from somewhere out there in the rain. It sounded like a neighbor was watching a science fiction movie on TV. I found out later that the weird sounds were coming from much farther away, from the soggy heart of Gritty City.
CHAPTER 2
Sweet and Creepy
A crime was in progress at a candy store—the Big Fat Calorie ’n’ Cavity Warehouse—next to the Gritty City Mall, right across the street from Gritty City City Hall. A gigantic fist, the size of a midsized car, punched through the front of the store, sending glass and concrete flying everywhere. Then the owner of the hand scooped a huge handful of glass, concrete, and candy—sort of like trail mix you’d bring on a hike through a nightmare—and poured the mixture into his huge, horrible mouth. The mouth chomped and chomped and laughed:
GEE, GEE, GAR, GAR, GABBA, GABBA, HEE!
Then the owners of other huge, disgusting hands and creepy mouths also munched on this scrumptious snack. They chewed with loud crunchy chomps, eating the entire building in the process, but that was beside the point. They were there for the candy and they swallowed every last bit of it. And that’s a lot, because this was no ordinary candy store. Their slogan: A million miles of crunchy aisles!
A million was an exaggeration, but it didn’t feel like that when you were in there. The candy-craving criminals jerked and twitched with glee, shouting, "GEEE-GOR-GLAX-O-BRAX! GEEE! GEEE! MEE-GOR-GLAX-O-BRAX!", whatever that meant.
Sergeant Bub McButt (the police officer who continues to pretend not to know us) was the only eyewitness.
Although their huge glowing eyeballs helped somewhat,
he said, after they dug him out from under a
