............................They landed on the superbike with a thud. "I think we need more practice at this" Leo wheezed, recovering from the mega wedgie he had just received.
"It's not as easy as it looks," Billy agreed, glad that his lycra catsuit was designed to absorb the blow of falling from, lets say, a plane onto the back of a moving object, lets say a horse, but it worked equally well from the attic window onto a bike. He cringed again as he picked up the bright red helmet, and compared it with the purple of his suit, and the green of the wheels.
"Oh my God," he thought, "I hope no-one sees me here, I must clash soooo much." Just then a bus load of all his friends, relatives and colleagues pulled up in his drive and began to come over toward him.
"Go go go," he urged to Leo who was still recovering from the wedgie and trying not to scratch his rash from the suit. Just then the pigeon saved the day. It had been a bit dazed after crashing through the window but was now flying back out; just before any of Billy's friends could see him clashing with the motorbike it did it's business on Billy's grandmothers head; she promptly fainted. In the panic that ensued, Billy and Leo crept away quietly on the bike. They got as far the end of the road before the bike gave up. Leo had forgotten to put any petrol in it.
"Stupid bike" Leo ranted, kicking it. It promptly fell apart confirming Billy's suspicions about cereal packet bikes - that was that they were only painted on the bits that you could see. The rest was a dull metallic grey.
"Cheapskates," said Billy, annoyed, "Now we're going to have to have the whole thing repainted."
"Forget the bike." said Leo, "Let's get the bus." So they ran down to the bus stop. They were doing their best to look as inconspicuous as possible for a pair of would be superheros, but all they succeded in doing was getting a couple of old ladies to beat them up with their handbags. The reason? Little old ladies feel it is their duty to protect the city from strange men of any sort, especially those in skin tight catsuits.
When the little old ladies got tired and decided to go and have a cup of tea before choosing their next victim, Billy and Leo lay battered and bruised in the gutter. They just managed to pick themselves up in order to get on the bus that had just pulled up at the stop. Having no idea where this bus was going to, Billy wondered how they were going to find Evil Kate. When he voiced his concerns Leo said, " Don't worry, of course this bus will take us to Evil Kate."
"How do you know?" asked Billy in awe.
" I just do," replied Leo before curling up in a ball and going fast asleep. Billy thought that this was the most appropriate reaction as well and did likewise.
When they woke up, they were on a deserted and disused tip.
"Are you sure we're in the right place?" asked Billy.
"We have to be," said Leo determinedly, "this is the end of the line, isn't it?"
"I suppose so," said Billy grimacing as he descended the steps onto the rubbish tip. Just then Evil Kate walked towards them, over the rubbish, in a long red beaded dress with pointy toed shoes. It was amazing she wasn't getting dirty at all; after just two steps through the quagmire of banana skins and rotting fish Billy and Leo were plastered in muck. Billy was fretting about getting his purple suit dirty and smelly when Evil Kate spoke.
"Follow me," she said seductively.
"We will not fall for your tricks Evil Kate," ranted Leo. "Surrender at once!"
"Very well then," sighed Kate, "I knew this couldn't last forever."
"What?" exclaimed Billy, "you mean we've won? Great, now I can go back to bed, but could you show me where the little boys room is first?"
"Excellent" cried Leo, "now I can get this itchy suit off." Just then two very large fish fell from the sky for no reason and hit Billy and Leo squarely on the head.
"Great, now I can capture them and continue with my plan," mused Kate as she dragged the two unconscious bodies across the rubbish to her lair, Even though he was unconscious Billy still was thinking, "Great, now this is really going to ruin my suit."
How will Billy and Leo escape? Where did the fish come from? What is going to happen to them? Find out same place same time next week.
