The rest of the week had gone by as if nothing had happened, I mean, the topic of the kiss never came up again between Henry and I, and we were still the very good friends that we are.

Of course we were teased by everyone else 24/7, but from then on everything was calm, and I'm grateful that the feeling that had caused me conflict after the kiss was gone, everything was back to normal and again, it was like If it had never happened, well we thought so.

Henryway, from one moment to the next, it was already Saturday, we were all in the Man Cave because for some reason there was always more work on Saturdays than other days, but it was a good coincidence that today's problems were not as serious as any other day , they were things like: "Fights in the Nacho Ball parking lot", or "The vice mayor lost his keys" or "Miss Swellview needs a jammer", things like that, that is, tasks that only lasted minutes, things that didn't include Captain Man or Kid Danger.

So, we were in the Man Cave, with Charlotte watching some things on the monitor, Schwoz fixing a control class and a machine, Jasper with a banana on the couch table and me holding his phone recording him.

"Ready?" I asked, annoyed.

"Wait," he said while she finished peeling it. "Action!"

I pressed the record button.

"Hey Swellview, that's up? It's Jasper the friendly host, here in the Man Cave, and I'm about to take the five second banana challenge".

"It cannot be done, Jasper," Schwoz said as he passed by.

"Anything is possible!" he rebuked.

We all looked at him with a 'serious' face.

"Yeah, that's not true," I shook my head slightly.

Jasper went back to peeling another banana to continue doing his happy challenge, but he was interrupted by the sound of the tubes, and by a laser that made him drop his banana immediately.

"What did I tell you about doing food challenges in my Man Cave?" It was Ray.

Jasper looked down "That only you could make 'em".

"That's right," Ray said as he put the laser away from him, "Oh! And by the way, I noticed that no one commented on the food challenge video that I posted the other day".

Total silence, on everyone's part, and I feel like I wasn't speaking just for myself, it made me want to vomit every time I remembered.

RAY'S VIDEO

"What's up guys! It's Captain Man, rockin' in the Man Cave, and I'm about to take the six second sauerkraut challenge.

"That smells disgusting" Henry was recording.

Ray took a spoonful of the disgusting, horrible, terrible stuff and put it in his mouth.

As expected, Ray began to get disgusted with the sauerkraut, so much that it gave him a light tickle on his nose, making him sneeze and spit it all over Henry.

END OF VIDEO

The four of us had a look of annoyance combined with one of dissatisfaction, and because after that day the Man Cave smelled of that thing all the time, and even though Schwoz did I don't know what so many things to make him stop doing it, it seems as if it would only get worse.

"That was hasta, dude," Henry said traumatized, "no one likes food challenge videos."

"Yeah, you're right," Ray continued speaking, "kids shouldn't watch any videos online," he turned towards the front of the Capi Cueva, as if he were talking to someone, "they should just watch TV"

"Essential," I snapped my fingers.

"That's very true-.

"OK".

And for some reason, Henry turned to the same place where Ray was looking and winked, strangely.

"Alright, what's on the schedule today?" he spoke "Andy bad people need punching? Any good people need saving?"

Henry walked to the monitors where Charlotte was, and as I mentioned before, there was no work, absolutely nothing.

He moved the list from top to bottom and bottom to top, and at the bottom of it a sign appeared 'ALL CRIMES SOLVED'.

"Eh...Not really," my friend responded.

"All right," I said with a smile.

"That can only mean one thing," Ray paused, "Movie day!"

I raised my arms in the air "Yes!"

Charlotte threw herself on the floor "Movie day!"

Jasper went to throw his banana on the floor "Yay!"

In just a few seconds the Man Cave had been filled with strange dances and celebrations everywhere, we didn't always have movie days, and I had to admit that the days that were, were the best.

I was jumping up and down with Henry, Jasper was spinning in circles around us, and Ray was doing some kind of weird dance, nothing could be better, well that changed when Charlotte suddenly interrupted our moment.

"Hey, hey!" We kept dancing "Hey, hey, hey!" Schwoz had arrived with the TV "HEY!"

We all turned to see where Charlotte was, who managed to silence us in just an instant, and she was next to a fairly large wooden box, which had strange red logos around it.

"Does anyone know what this big box is?"

"Oh no, no, no, don't ask about that," Henry replied, downplaying the importance, "it probably has work inside."

I walked over to where Charlotte was and looked at the box.

"There is a note from the Vice Mayor" I removed the note "it says: 'Please open this box right away.'"

"That could mean anything" said Ray, choosing the movies.

Charlotte and I turned to look at each other, sometimes it was necessary to be responsible in this team of pure idiots.

"Look, why don't I just open the box and we'll see what's inside?" he asked, sounding more like a statement.

'Ah! Come on Charlotte!', 'it's work, no one wants it,' 'it's ridiculous,' the four of them complained.

I sighed "I'll help you."

I held the back of the box so I could remove the lid, while Charlotte pulled on it so she could uncover it.

"Please be popcorn! Please be popcorn! Please be popcorn! Please be popcorn! Please be popcorn!" The four of them began to "sing" that song "Please be popcorn! Please be popcorn!"

And without further ado, we managed to open the box, revealing a kind of beige cylindrical machine, with a drawing of a girl who looked like whistling?

"Definitely not popcorn" I said, grimacing slightly.

"What is it?" Jasper asked.

"I'll tell you what it is!" Ray intervened, shouting, "It's a horrible, tedious pile of work!"

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "Stop complaining, okay? Look, there's a Pear Pad there."

"Oh yes!" Charlotte exclaimed, taking the device.

The Pera Pad had an image that seemed frozen, a button appeared in the middle that said "PLAY".

"Press it".

Charlotte looked at me with a grim expression, "that's what I was thinking of doing."

'Hello Captain Man, Kid Danger' was the Vice Mayor ,' sorry to drop a bomb on you like this, but the box you just opened contains a bomb."

A bomb?! If we can barely handle a bet that Dr. Myniak and Rat made, what are we going to do with a damn bomb?

Charlotte threw the Pear Pad causing it to fall into Schwoz's hands, and we quickly ran to where the boys were, who had also been startled.

"Her name is Whistlin' Susie. She's World War II atomic weapon."

"Explosives!" Jasper threw himself onto the couch.

"No no!" Charlotte behind the couch.

I chose to take Henry by the shoulders, hide behind him, and use him as a human shield... he has super reflexes.

'She showed up in the basement of City Hall last week. Now I'm the Vice Mayor, not the Roll the dice Mayor, so I don't want to take any chances with this thing, that's why I sent it to the Man Cave, I think it's probably safe there. Now I'm done thinking about this."

This is really bad, very bad.

"Schwoz!" Henry shouted, "what... what are you doing? Get away from that thing!"

"Relax, it's not that dangerous," he responded calmly, and then kicked her with his foot.

"Hey Hey hey!".

He rolled his eyes "Atomic bombs don't explode by themselves, you have to activate them first" wait what? "As long as you don't start the timing sequence, this thing is basically one big rock."

He hit her again, but this time from side to side, huh, interesting.

"See? Not active."

I looked at my friends with distrust, who at the same time had the same mistake as me, I don't know, it seemed like I was going to explode at any moment... but at the same time I tried to trust Schwoz's word, I mean that guy He is a genius.

So we decided to go to where the bomb was, obviously carefully.

The first to approach and hit her was Henry.

"Careful!" I shouted worriedly.

"Awwwww! He cares about his boy!" Ray said in a mocking tone. "It's the cutest thing I'll see today."

I shook my head slightly, and looked back at Henry who was smiling, and staring at me.

He hit the bomb again "It's actually kinda fuuuun, smackin a bombbb."

We're getting closer to this one.

"Let me try! Let me try" Jasper hit the bomb with rhythm.

From one moment to the next, the six of us were around the bomb, hitting it as if it were some kind of musical instrument, it was something fun, and very unusual at the same time, that stuff.

After several seconds, we all stopped suddenly, remaining silent, admiring the bomb.

"Movie day!" Ray shouted.

"Yessss!"

"Yay!"

(...)

We were sitting on the couch, staring at the TV, watching a movie.

Henry was on the corner, then there was me, followed by Charlotte, Jasper who was eating a giant chocolate head, Schwoz who was eating ramen with extra spicy sauce and lastly Ray, who had Whistlinn Susie on his lap, and was using her to help him open his soda.

The movie was very good, it was about some coyotes that got lost in the desert and needed to get home.

We were all so caught up in the movie that we didn't realize all the disaster we could cause just in a couple of seconds... yep.

Henry sneezed on me, causing me to jumo and bump into Charlotte; she had the same reaction falling on Jasper, who released his chocolate head and this one fell on Schwoz's ramen; Schwoz jumped, his ramen splashed sauce and the sauce fell into Ray's eyes; and finally, Ray spilled all of his soda all over Whistlin Susie.

"My face, Schwoz!" Ray complained. "You splashed sauce in my eye!"

"That's because Jasper's chocolate head landed in my salsa!" He defended himself.

"That's because Charlotte jumped on me!"

"That's because Kai jumped on me."

I opened my mouth indignantly. "That's because Henry sneezed on me!"

"Sh! Sh! Sh!" Henry exclaimed. "Listen."

I paused the movie.

Tiktak* tiktak* tiktak* tiktak* tiktak* that repetitive sound was present in the Man Cave, so constant, that it began to discreetly alarm us all, that it made us look at Whistling Susie.

"Schwoz?" Ray asked nervously.

This one had risen from his place.

"Where are you going, dude?" Henry asked this time.

"Okay..." he began to speak nervously, "remember when I said Whistlin Susie can't explode unless she's active?"

"Yes," we responded in unison.

Schwoz swallowed nervously "Now she's active!".

"AH!" Jasper shouted.

Screaming, pushing, all of us throwing ourselves behind the couch trying to find shelter from Hissing Susie.

This must be a joke!
