9 Snot Something You Want to Do

CHAPTER NINE SNOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO Franny began putting on a special suit. "This will protect me from the various horrible juices inside a dog." Igor scowled. "No hard feelings, Igor. But if you think you stink on the outside, take a whiff of one of your disgusting dog burps sometime. This is a fantastically unbelievable voyage I'm going on, but it's no pleasure cruise in there." Igor smelled his own breath. He had to agree with Franny: He was probably even worse on the inside.

"Here's my plan. First I'll use my Shrinkerizer to miniaturize myself. Then I want you to carefully sniff me right up your nose." Igor pointed at his mouth. "No. Not your mouth. I'm going in through your nose. I can't trust those teeth of yours. You could accidentally bite me in half." Franny pointed at a chart of Igor's body.

"Once inside your nose, I'll make my way down your throat to your stomach." Igor handed her a flashlight. Good thinking, Igor, but my suit is glow-in-the-dark, and that will light my way. "When I get to your stomach, I'll find the device, open it up, and deactivate it. This screwdriver is all I'll need.

"Now, about getting back out," Franny began. Igor looked a little nervous. "After I find the device and deactivate it, I'll call you on this walkie-talkie. Then you just lie down on your stomach, and that will make it easy for me to roll the device out like a big ball. I'll just walk right back out your nose."

Igor nodded in agreement. "Then I'll reverse the Shrinkerizer with this remote control, enlarge to my normal size, and everything will be back just fine.

"I'll also be able to watch you on this little screen on my wrist, just to make sure you're okay throughout the procedure. You can even sit here and watch your dumb TV while you wait." Igor clapped his little paws together. Franny checked her watch. There were less than forty-five minutes left. "Everything seems to be in order," she said. "What could go wrong?"
