30. Tears of a Commode

CHAPTER 39 TEARS OF A COMMODE "Let that be a lesson to you," said Captain Underpants gallantly, as the Turbo Toilet 2000 cried and cried. "Well," said George, "I'm glad that's over with!" "Yeah," said Harold. "That ended up being a lot easier than I thought it would be!"

At that precise moment, a single teardrop from the quivering eyeballs of the Turbo Toilet 2000 flew through the air and landed on Captain Underpants's face. Splash! Suddenly, our hero's expression began to change. The sparkle disappeared from his eyes, his posture deflated, and his goofy grin morphed into a scowling grimace. "What the heck is going on here?!!?" Mr. Krupp yelled. "Uh-oh," said Harold.

Mr. Krupp turned and saw the ginormous Turbo Toilet 2000 blubbering behind him. "AAAAAUGH!" the frightened principal shrieked. "IT'S A MONSTER!!!" And he ran away screaming his head off.

The Turbo Toilet 2000 wasn't sure what was going on, but he decided to chase Mr. Krupp and see what happened. Soon, the leviathan lavatory cornered Mr. Krupp and scooped him up in his mighty robotic fist. "I give up!" cried Mr. Krupp. "I surrender! Please don't hurt me!" "Gee," said the Turbo Toilet 2000. "That ended up being a lot easier than I thought it would be! Now I just need to find those two annoying kids!"

Mr. Krupp perked up a little. "Er, what two annoying kids?" he asked. "Well," said the Turbo Toilet 2000, "one of them had a flat-top and a tie, and the other one wore a T-shirt and had a bad haircut!" "Hey, I know those kids!" said Mr. Krupp excitedly. "I even know where they live!" "Really?" said the Turbo Toilet 2000. "Then what are we waiting for? Come on, my two toilet minions. Behold, my tyrannical retaliation is at hand!" Mr. Krupp pointed the way, and the Turbo Toilet 2000 marched off toward George's and Harold's houses. "Uh-oh," said George. "We're doomed again," said Harold.
