10. Hypno-Horror

CHAPTER 10 HYPNO-HORROR George and Harold knew exactly where those evil twins had taken Crackers and Sulu. To the same place they would have taken them: their tree house. So our two heroes dashed home as fast as they could. Then they climbed up the tree house ladder as quietly as they could.

But when they peeked inside, they saw something that was three hundred and eighty- nine times worse than they ever could have imagined. Their evil twins were hypnotizing their beloved pets with a 3-D Hypno-Ring. "You will obey our every command," said Evil Harold. "Yeah," said Evil George. "And you'll be really wicked from now on, too!" George and Harold gasped, which is actually not a very smart thing to do if you're trying to go unnoticed.

"Hey, LOOK!" shouted Evil Harold. "GASPERS!" "GET 'EM!" shouted Evil George to their newly hypnotized pets. Crackers didn't move. The dazed pterodactyl shook his head and looked a little confused. But Sulu immediately sprung into action. He lunged at George and Harold, grabbed them by their shirts, and yanked them to the ground.

"Hey!" said Evil George. "Those kids look just like us. What should we do with them?" "We can't take any chances," said Evil Harold. Then he called to Sulu in a loud and commanding voice, "DESTROY THEM, O WICKED HAMSTER!"
