chapter 11 Dark Foreshadows
Melvin Went into his garage and climbed into his glow-in-the-dark
Time-Traveling robe with squid Sooo
Quickly the suit powered up and started slinking and slithering toward the school yard as Melvin Began the long Journey to Bring George
Harold and Captain underpants back home where they belonged
After solving some surveillance photo issues at the Bank
Melvin zapped himself to the future
fetched everyone and brought them all back one year earlier to the exact time and place where they had departed on their journey in our
last book
George Harold and Captain underpants have been through a lot in the past few days
But now it was as if they had never left at all
Everything was just as it had been
The turbo toilet Mm. Won't arrive on Earth for another two weeks, so Melvin's future as a superhero would never become reality
And nobody was happier about that than Melvin himself. I don't have to be a superhero anymore
Cried Melvin happily, I can finally follow my destiny
Peace and quiet at last
But you still haven't told us why you've brought us back said George yeah said harold what gives oh?
You'll find out said Melvin with a foreboding chuckle in two weeks, you'll find out
Melvin unleashed a horrible villainous laugh as his glow-in-the-dark Robo squid suit began to shake and buzz
Soon he and his tentacle time machine disappeared to a ball of electric light?
chapter 12 Headin home
George and Harold had no choice, but to take Mr.
Crup home they brought him to his front door gothic Pl4 behind the bushes and let him inside
Go over to the kitchen sink and splash some water on your face said George
Iii Sir said captain underpants. He did as he was told and in no time at all
He was back to his grumpy old self I
Wonder what's going to happen in two weeks said hailed as he and George walked home
I'm sure it's no big deal said George if Melvin can handle it we can handle it
Soon George and Harold were back up in their tree house
Carefully, they placed crackers eggs on some soft pillows under a few desk lamps
There said George that should keep them warm and cozy
George and Hal were dead tired the admin slept in over 30 hours, and they'd been running for their lives most of that time I?
Need a serious nap said harold as he settled into his beanbag chair
Me too said George has he collapsed into his own being back chair
Saving the world is exhausting
I'm still a little worried about that whole two weeks thing said held that sounds really bad
Relax said George there's nothing we can do about it now anyway
Let's try to stay out of trouble for the next two weeks said harold if the world is going to end
I don't want to be stuck in the tension the whole time. Oh
Don't worry so much said George
Besides how much trouble could we get until in two weeks anyway?
Chapter Thirteen Eleven minutes later George Harold get down here right now
George and held opened their eyes
Wearily they stumbled to the treehouse door and looked down
George's Mom and Dad and Harold's mom. We're all standing down in the yard looking very angry
The school called George's Dad said they told us that you kids weren't in class today
Uh-oh said George. We're ted said harold would you mind explaining what you've been doing all day ass harold's mom angrily?
George inhaled could hide the truth no longer they decided to confess everything
We couldn't go to school today said George
We had to save the earth from an evil crazy guy who was riding around in a giant pair of robotic pants
Yeah, said harold we spent the last day traveling through time running from dinosaurs and teaching Caveman how to defend themselves
Very funny Shadow George is dead if your kids think he can skip school and goof around all day you're in for a big surprise
George and Harold had never seen their parents so angry
the two boys spent the next five hours Mowing lawns weeding gardens vacuuming houses washing cars
Dusting furniture cleaning out garages. Why washing fences doing dishes folding laundry and taking out garbage?
It was exhausting work, but it was nothing compared to what was to come next
Chapter 14, what was to come next?
George and Harold had never been so tired in all their lives at 9:30 p.m.
They grunted goodnight to each other and limped into their houses like zombies
Would you like a snack dear said Harold's mother?
No, thanks
He mumbled he was too tired for a snack too tired to take a bath
Too tired to put his pajamas on or take his shoes off he didn't even have the energy to turn out his bedroom light
He just collapsed on top of his bed and fell asleep instantly
22 seconds later the telephone Rang it was George
Harold's mother brought the phone into his room and held it up to his ear
Harold was too tired to even say hello. He just mumbled
Mmm. I just remembered something said George Penny can tomorrow was test day
Howard's bloodshot eyes popped open and he sat on the street. Oh
No, pano's cried. I forgot all about that
Me too said George. We're having made you testing oliver classes tomorrow. We're gonna have to stay up all night long and study
Chapter 15
Mm
When the sun Rose the next day George inhaled were still going through their spelling checklists
George was almost done studying harold still had to read 44 pages of his natural history textbook
Breakfast is ready shouted George's Dad from downstairs
George stumbled down exhaustedly and tried to smoosh some waffles into his mouth he missed
Meanwhile Harold was sitting at his breakfast table when a burned out stupor buttering a cereal and pouring milk on his toast
Did you get any sleep at all last night as Terrell's mom?
Okay, harold answered Harold's answer didn't make any sense, but it was the best. He could do under the circumstance
Before long the Georgian Harold were ready for school. They met up as they did every school day in George's front yard
eerie humming
Jessie ass shorts do polly
I said held he was so tired. He couldn't even answer a simple question from his best friend correctly
How was he going to manage a day's worth of tests?
us get this over with George mount
Wait said Harold. I want to check on crab your zigs before I go to school
Harold wobble to George's backyard and hoisted himself up the ladder to the treehouse
area
said George
Harold did not answer
Hey
Shouted George oh yeah, he leads
Harold did not come down
George plan with the steps and peeked inside the treehouse
It was just us yet expected Harold had fallen asleep at their desk
Harold said George shaking his friends shoulder. We go men you're gonna believe her it says
She's I really won't harold. I just needed sleep for five years please
Woky said George, but no I mean it longer
George took his backpack off and set it against the treehouse door
Then he plopped down in his beanbag chair and looked at his pocket watch
7:53 a.m.. The second hand was taken by awfully slowly
I'm she's going to close my eyes for a second said George
Just for a few seconds
That afternoon George yawned and stretched as he rolled over in his beanbag chair. He glanced at his pocket watch again
4:41 p.m.
George closed his eyes and went back to sleep
suddenly as I shot open oh
No, George screamed harold awoke with a jump we feel asleep George cried. We slept through school
We slept through our test. We slept through everything oh
No
Harold wailed we're dead man game over
George inhaled peaked out their treehouse window Harold's mom was out in her garden. She was whistling a cheerful tune
That's strange said held why didn't the school call her and tell her we were absent. I have no idea said George
George and held climbed down from the tree house and walked over to the Garden
How was school today asked Harold's mom? Oh?
Same as always I guess said harold he really was guessing
George's Mom heard them talking and came over
You didn't miss school today. Did you ask George's Mom um?
nope said George
Technically George was telling the truth. He hadn't really missed school at all
chapter 16 super Secret test day
The next day when George inhaled arrived at school, Mr.. Krupp was overjoyed to see them
He met them at the front door shook their hands enthusiastically and gave them both big sweaty hugs
This can't be good George said you're wrong said Mr.. Krupp. It's the best day ever it's the day
I've been waiting for since I met you two horrible people. Let's all go to my office shall. We I've got refreshments as
They walk down the long Hallway Toward, Mr.. Crump's office. Several teachers patted Mr.. Krupp on the back and congratulated him
the entire school staff seemed delighted
Were doomed said Harold?
When they finally got to Mr.. Crupp's office he plopped down into his chair and spun around a few times giggling with Glee
after a few minutes and George started to become impatient I
Thought you say they were going to be refreshments George said
Not for you shouted Mr.. Krupp angrily as he slammed his fist on his desk
He opened his drawer pulled out a warm diet soda and popped it open
Then he leaned back in his chair and sipped loudly as he chuckled to himself I
Just want to soak this moment in he said with the light as fizzy brown phosphoric acid dribbled down his chin's
You boys have really messed up this time Mr.. Krupp left. You skipped school on Super Secret test day
Super Secret test Day said Harold. What does that mean?
I thought you'd never ask
Mr.. Crup said gleefully you see I've been looking for a way to separate you two kids for years now
But I never figured out how to do it until yesterday
Then it came to me in a flash of inspiration
super Secret test day
What's so secret about it? That's George
You should be asking what's so super about it said, Mr.. Crup. Joyfully
Because it just might be the crowning achievement to my entire career
George and Harold looked at each other nervously
Suddenly the door opened and the school's math teacher miss calculator entered the room
She sneered down one at Georgian held and poked her tongue out at them as she walked by
Here the figures you asked for she said handing Mr.. Crump a large manila envelope
Things Anita, Mr.. Crump said he smelled the envelope like he was admiring the aroma of a gourmet meal
It's a real shame. You boys miss school yesterday, Mr.
Crup said your teachers hated into it, but they had to give you both zeroes on all of your tests
But we studied really hard said held can't we take makeup tests
No, no, no no no Mr.. Krupp said grinning evilly from ear to ear
There will be no makeup tests
Don't worry Harold said George will do really good on our final exams this year we can bring our grades back up
Final exams have been cancelled for this year who said Mr.. Krupp Cheerfully
Isn't that wonderful news?
You and all your classmates will get seven more weeks of school with no homework
No quizzes, and no studying your grades are the whole year have been already been calculated. Oh
No said George. We're we're going to flunk the fourth grade
Actually, it's worse than that said, Mr.
Krupp as yellow teeth glistening in a grin so wide it seems to stretch Beyond the boundaries of his face
Normally you want to get this information until summer vacation begins, but I thought I'd be nice and show you your grades early
Isn't that fun?
He opened the manila envelope and slipped to report card store George inhaled quickly the boys opened them up and scan through them
George's final grade for the Year was
62.7% a terrible grade to be sure but still a passing grade
George would move on to fifth grade next year
Harold whose grades were not quite as good as George's wasn't so lucky
Harold his final grade was fifty nine point seven percent
Harold had failed oh
No, harold moaned as his eyes began to fill with tears. I'm one of one through fourth grade
Yeah, I think that too bad said Mr.. Krupp with a delighted twinkle in his eyes
He looked up and miscalculated and they both burst into fits of laughter
There's nothing you can do about it either, Mr.
Calculator sneered you two brats will be in different grades next year, you'll never see each other in school anymore
You'll have different teachers different classes and different friends
Chapter 17 the idea. I can't believe they're gonna separate us said held as the boys walked home from school that afternoon
George said nothing he was thinking he knew there was a way to solve this problem. I
Can't believe I've to spend an extra year at that school too harold mode trying not to cry
The worst part is that I actually studied. I know this stuff
I could have probably gotten straight B's if I had taken those tests yesterday
That's it Cried. George confidently. We can fix this
But how said harold they won't let us take makeup tests
Who says we have to take makeup tests George replied? Let's take though real tests held looked suspicious
What do you mean he asked?
Melvin said he kept his time-traveling squid thing in his garage right said George
Let's borrow it and go back in time to yesterday morning. Then we can take those tests like we were supposed to problem solved
No way haled protested whenever we travel around in times bad stuff happens
What could be worse than being in different grades next year George calendar. Do you really want to spend an extra year at that school?
Harold didn't have nerd for that
Besides said George, we're only going back in time one day. How could anything bad happen in just one day I?
Guess you're right said harold George, and he'll turned around and headed over to Melvin's house
luckily Melvin's garage door was open
cautiously the two boy sneaked inside and looked around and
They're standing in the corner beside a box of blanks from Seven-inch gangling Wrenches was the glow-in-the-dark
Time-traveling rubber squid suit we should be doing this harald whispered or trespassing and stealing
Hey Melvin started this whole mess George reminded harald. We're just fixing it besides. We're not stealing. We're just borrowing
Against his better judgment Haled helped Hoist George up into the cockpit
Suddenly the Robo Squid suit powered up and began to glow a few moments later the controls were all set okay
Said George let's go back in time and take those dome tests
He picked harald up with one of his glowing tentacles took a few steps forward and pressed the start button
the Glow-in-the-Dark
time-traveling rubber squid suit began shaking and sputtering as a zip backwards in time 32 hours a
Blinding ball of light flashed suddenly and George and harold arrived bright and early yesterday morning. Just in time for school as
Hell to help George climb out of the cockpit he noticed that there were now two glow-in-the-dark time-traveling robe of squid suits
Hey said hailed how come there are two glow-in-the-dark time-traveling rubble squid suits
HmM said George I guess that one in the corner is the one from yesterday
When we went back in time, we created a duplicate time machine. Oh
Said held no one should thank us. Yeah said George. That was very thoughtful of us
George and Harold Ran back through town as fast as they could
Soon they were scrambling up the steps of Jerome Horwitz Elementary school this feels weird said George
I've never been so happy to go to school before or to take tests said Harold and
Indeed it was a happy school day for George and harold they took all of their tests
Did pretty well on most of them and never had to deal with anything super or secret again at least not until that afternoon?
