Luke's First Novel - Chapter 8

CHAPTER EIGHT

______________________________________

INVASION OF THE BABIES...

      We were walking home when we heard the sound of screaming people and exploding machinery. “Here we go again.” I said as we ran in the direction of the noise. When we got to the sound. We saw that it was coming from an amusement park called:

CAPTAIN PEANUT’S WORLD

OF FUN AND FANTASY

When we finally got in, it was going worse than we had thought. It looked as if the babies had found the master control panel, because all  the rides were going ten times their normal speed. Kids were flying off the marry-go-round, go carts were flying off their track, and the music speakers were blaring so loud that the gravel they were blasting into was wearing away. Then we looked up to see the new ride that captain peanut had installed. It was the ATOMIC SUPER NOVA OF DOOM,  a roller coaster sitting on a platform that was spinning around at fifty-three miles per hour (It had so many loops just looking at it made me sick).  “I’m never riding that.” “No kidding.”
     We looked around for the monsters but there was no sign of them (Except for the fact that the park was only half there). We looked everywhere: the merry-go-round, the Mr. Peanut choo-choo train, and the other little kid rides. Finally we got to the peanut butter rubber bumper cars; that was a major mistake. The first thing happened when I accidentally pushed a lever into the on position. That just happened to be the lever that caused all the bumper cars to shoot of at a gazillion and two miles an hour.  And the cars just happen to ram into Eddy and I and send us bump, bump, bumping around the track while setting a world land speed record. The next thing that happened was when the bumper cars managed to leap off the track and soar over all the screaming people. Finally we landed KA-Klank on top of the
ATOMIC SUPER NOVA OF DOOM roller coaster. “I guess we just got a free ride.” “Guess so.” “Blink, blink.” AUGHH!!!” Now I don’t want to say it was scary. Well except for the part where we were raised a million and thirty-two feet into the sky. Oh and the part where we dropped like rocks. “ (no sound)!!!”  I screamed. I tried again “ (no sound again)!!!” I guess you can’t hear yourself scream when you’re traveling faster than the speed of sound. Finally after a couple minutes (And a lot more “(no sound)!!!” We finally reached the bottom, but apparently the roller train was getting tired of just plain up and down he thought it would be fun to do a little corkscrewing. “AUGHH, AUGHH, SCREAM, HELP, MOMMMY!!” I guess my screams had caught up with us. “WHAWHAWHAWHA!” Eddy and I screamed as we corkscrewed up the track. When we got to the top, we could see the whole park.  We saw the ferris wheel, the river rapids, and the master control panel inside Captain Peanut’s head that was being swarmed with babies (Though the last one really caught my eye).
     When we finally got off a few minutes (And a few air sickness bags) later, we went across the park to the giant statue of Captain Peanut. We looked up to see flames coming out of his nose and smoke coming out of his eyes. “Those babies must really be causing some damage.” “Either that or he just ate one of the ultra, super, mega, spicy burritos with extra cheese they sell at the concession stands.” We looked all over for a door until finally Eddy found one at the end Captain Peanuts big toe. Once inside it looked as though the little monsters were having a gigantic food-fight in a world war three kind of way. And we were helpless to try and stop them. That was until we looked up to see a giant button that read:
PUSH ONLY TO SEND ALL MONSTER BABIES INTO CONVENIENTLY PLACED CAGE IN CENTER OF STATUE. “Wow that sure is convenient” Eddy said as he, without hesitating, pushed the button. And boy did it work! First the ceiling opened up, next a giant vacuum hose came out, and finally the hose sucked them into the cage faster than a six year old’s mood swing when he has just learned he’s having creamed spinach for dinner. To make a long story short we dragged the cage to the Tiranesore’s house and locked them in the basement with the rest of the babies.
