26. Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!

CHAPTER 26 HEEEEEEEEERE'S JOHNNY! The Turbo Toilet 2000 zipped across the rooftops in his homemade rocket scooter, laughing ferociously as a trail of choking smoke filled the afternoon sky.

Everyone screamed. Everyone cried. Everyone hid. Everyone, that is, except for George and Harold and their dreadfully distressed duplicates. The four boys ran as fast as they could to the Piqua Valley Home for the Reality- Challenged. There was only one person who could stop this horrifying beast, and he was locked away in the goof house. The four boys dashed through the sanitarium's front door and slid across the freshly waxed floor to the reception desk.

"We need to see Mr. Krupp," cried George, almost out of breath. "He's a patient here." "Sorry," said the nurse. "But patients can't have visitors without a doctor's permission." "But he can save the world," cried Harold. "He's Captain Underpants!" "Sure he is," said the nurse sarcastically. "Listen, bub: We currently have nine patients who claim to be Captain Underpants. We also have four Wonder Women, seven Albert Einsteins, and one Elvis Presley!" "Well, can we at least talk to him?" asked Yesterday Harold. "No!" said the nurse. "Nobody talks to The King." "NOT ELVIS," said George angrily. "MR. KRUPP!" "Oh," said the nurse. "I'm sorry. But NO!"

"Rats," cried Yesterday Harold. "Captain Underpants is stuck in the goof house!" "We can't bust him out," said George, "but I know somebody who CAN. Follow me!" Frantically, the boys ran back across the city.
