ATDFD: Chapter Four

Numero Quadro: The Weird Gizmo (plus extra poop!)

Chapter Four
Picking up from where we went off…

Then something happened that would change their lives…

A little bunny was walking across the path that Dora and Boots were traveling through while walking through the Big Dog Poop on the Sidewalk.

‘Oooooo, bunny!’ Dora screeched. She ran off to chase the bunny and ended up getting stuck in the poop. Boots had to pull really hard to make Dora get out. And I mean REEEEAAAALLLLYYYY hard.

‘Yeuck!’ Dora’s nose wrinkled. ‘That poop really stinks!’

‘So does this silly adventure,’ Boots mumbled under his breath. He continued walking.

‘Um, Boots?’

Boots turned around. ‘Yeah?’ He saw Dora clutching her trousers and dancing around. ‘Hey, nice dance, Dora!’

Dora clutched her trousers harder. ‘No—Boots—I—need—to—go…’

Boots looked surprised for a while. Then he sighed. ‘Fine, Dora, scamper off in the bushes somewhere where nobody will see you.’

Dora looked relieved, and scamper off she did.

Boots sighed, and wiped the sweat off his forehead. At least things wouldn’t get worse.

Suddenly there was a huge CCRRAASSHHIINNGG sound. A spaceship had landed on the peak of the Poop. The spaceship was smothered with brown stuff. Boots sighed. Nobody did anything right in this screwed-up world.

A door opened in the spaceship and a little astronaut walked out. He looked around, getting his bearings. Then he looked down. ‘Ew,’ he said. He scraped the sole of his boot off the side of the spaceship until the poop on his boot was gone. Then he went back in. But before he did, he threw a little device into the air behind him. It landed with a clang on the ground beside Boots. He looked up, trying to ask the astronaut something. But the spaceship was already hurtling through space once more.

Boots walked up to the device and picked it up, wondering was it was. He examined it closely. It was a little box with a button on it. He saw Dora, who was pulling her pants up. It wouldn’t come up properly. It was stuck. She pulled harder and harder, but all that did was tighten it more. She was so fat that her pants wouldn’t fit!

Bots ran over to help her. He had to cut off the belt, but at least it worked. He just hoped nobody would laugh at her underpants showing for at least another month until she exercised.

‘What’s that you got there?’ Dora said.

Boots held up the gizmo. ‘What, this?’

‘Yeah. What does it do?’

Boots frowned and looked at the gizmo again. ‘I don’t know.’

Then he saw the label.

Both of them stood there, wide-eyed in wonder.

For what the label on the gizmo said was – “Astronaut Summoning Device”.
