28. A Happy Ending

CHAPTER 28 A HAPPY ENDING "You know something?" said George. "This is the first time one of our books actually had a happy ending." "You're right," said Harold. "Usually they end with me screaming 'Oh, NO!' and you screaming 'Here we go again!' But we got lucky this time, I guess."

"What do you mean, lucky?" said Mr. Krupp. "It was MY invention that saved the world. You guys are so immature!" "Huh?" said George.

"I want to see both of you bubs in my office PRONTO!" yelled Melvin. "I'm gonna punish you boys so bad, your kids will be born with detentions!" "Whaaaa?" said Harold.

Suddenly, a giant extendable Octo-Claw reached out from one of the three huge chunks of boogers. It grabbed the Combine- O-Tron 2000 out of Mr. Sneedly's hands and smashed it to smithereens on the ground. Mr. and Mrs. Sneedly ran away screaming as the three humongous robotic booger chunks came to life.

Slowly, they began dripping down the sides of the buildings, each one energizing itself with a single Turbo-9000 SP5 Kung-Fu Titanium/Lithium Alloy Processor.

As the huge booger chunks oozed closer and closer, they began sprouting strange- looking metallic eyeballs and huge, menacing robotic limbs.
