How to Eat Fried Worms Page #4

So hot

it'll blow a

person's head off.

Bam bam bam!

No! No!

It's ready.

The "Burning Fireball."

All right,

I'll go get him.

No!

Ah!

Man.

Hey, guys, bring him in.

No! I'm not ready yet.

I gotta go watch, 'cause

this one's gonna be ugly.

Wait for me, you guys!

Erika, watch me!

Boys are so weird.

He can't even stand

the smell.

Hot hot hot hot!

It's burning!

Come on, Wormboy,

eat the whole thing.

Sick.

He's gonna blow!

It's over! It's all over.

Everyone just stand back.

Stand back, you guys.

- Just open your mouth, Wormboy.

- Water!

No water!

It's a new rule.

No more cooking

in my house!

The door is locked!

And... and...

and I quit your team, Joe!

Who cares if you quit?

All you are is Twitch,

you little loser.

Anybody else?

Huh?

Want to go

on Wormboy's team?

Yeah!

Me.

Me too, Joe!

You're already

on his team, Adam.

Yeah, but you made me be.

But now I want to.

That's different

- Here you go, Billy.

- Ahh!

- Turn it off, Adam!

- Turn it off!

- Turn it off!

- I'm trying.

Here, come on.

Look, Benjy, you got

to do better, okay?

- I practically poisoned him.

- Then why didn't it work?

Wormboy stopped himself

with mental powers.

- What?

- His mind told his vomit

to stay inside of his stomach.

That's impossible.

Yeah, puke has

a mind of its own.

You almost took

my head off, Adam.

Here you go.

Don't...

- I'm okay.

- Hy-ah!

- I got it! Oh!

- Hoo-ah!

Oh!

Okay, this...

- this is not going well.

- Where are you going?

- This is... this is bad.

- What?

- We're terrible. We're terrible.

- What?

I got bad shorts.

People are staring at us. This is bad.

Oh, that's him.

Look alive, here they come.

Here they come.

That's the guy

you're afraid of?

Huh.

~ I'm not the kind of guy ~

~ Who gives up

just like that... ~

~ Oh no oh oh ~

- ~ The tide is high... ~

- Yup yup.

~ But I'm holding on... ~

- Ow!

- Honey!

We're a team, right?

- And we're gonna beat Joe Guire.

- Yeah!

And we're gonna make him

come to school with worms in his pants.

- Yeah!

- And when he does...

He's gonna punch us all

with the death ring

and we're all gonna die

like Adam Simms.

Hey, but that's not till

the eighth grade, right?

Where is Adam?

- Adam?

- Oh, oh, oh.

Come on, man, go go!

Keep on going!

- No no no.

- Yeah, keep going!

- Come on!

- Come on!

Let's go!

Whoo!

Get down.

Faster!

- Faster!

- Faster! Faster!

Whoo!

Whoo!

- Look out, Billy!

- Billy!

Hey, what's going on

back there?

- Game over!

- Let's get out of here!

- Run run!

- Let's go! Let's go!

Get out!

Get out of my store.

Are you ready?

~ One little bird

fell out of the nest ~

~ When the cat ate him up ~

- ~ His mama said it's for the best. ~

- Two bird.

~ Two little bird flapped

his wings and flew ~

~ He met an aeroplane

and said, boom ~

- ~ How do you do? ~

- It's Erika.

Hey, you guys!

Hey, you guys!

- It's Erk.

- Stop!

Joe, stop!

You're touching my bike.

Yeah yeah.

Is the bet over?

You're a girl,

you don't know about the bet.

- Where's Billy?

- Erk, let go!

Look, we're going to Plug's house, okay?

His dad's got a blowtorch.

Tell me where Billy is.

We can't keep up with you guys.

Who asked you to?

I'm looking after

Billy's brother.

So that's who that kid is?

He's Wormboy's

little brother?

Don't talk to him, Woody.

Do you wanna know where

Billy is or don't you?

Hey, Woody.

Have you ever seen

your brother throw up?

He doesn't know what

you're talking about, Joe.

Sure he does.

Yeah, he got sick

from chicken pox,

too much Halloween,

and putting tooth paste

on a light bulb.

And he got sick

at the zoo

from watching

a pig lick itself!

What else did

he get sick from?

Car sick.

Oh, yeah?

Mo-wo-wotion sickness.

Thanks, you little midget.

What happened to

the blowtorch, Plug?

My dad just

laughed at me.

Ha ha ha.

Magni-fried.

What's all this?

Crushed up marshmallow,

dash of ketchup

and tuna fish from a can.

I call it

the "Marsh Mallieu."

How about

"Barf Mallieu"?

"Barf-mellow."

Thanks, Adam.

Oops.

Sorry, Billy.

The worm, the sauce.

Oh!

~ Alley-oopa,

gentille alley-oopa. ~

I can do this.

Whoo!

Oh, yeah, I'm Wormboy!

Stomach of steel!

Ooo!

I ate the whole Barfmel...

whoa! Oh!

Oops.

Are you okay, Billy?

- Billy, are you okay?

- "Billy, are you okay?"

Erk! Erk!

- Billy!

- Billy, are you okay?

- Oh, Billy.

- Poor thing.

Get away, Erika.

You big giant.

Oh!

- Oh, that hurts.

- Erk!

Go on, Erika.

- You big giant!

- Erk!

- Aw! Bye!

- Have a nice day.

Give him another

one, Benjy.

Peanut butter and

worm jam sandwich.

Billy the Great.

Woody!

Mommy! Mommy!

- Oh my God! Oh, okay, um...

- Shoot! Chew!

Come here!

Come here, baby!

Chew it!

- Billy!

- Swallow.

Hey, there you are.

When are you coming

home for supper?

Supper?

Yeah, supper.

You gonna

introduce me, Billy?

How are you doing, guys?

I'm Billy's father.

- How are you doing, Mr. Forrester?

- Hey!

- Joe Guire.

- Joe Guire, nice to meet you.

You see that, Billy?

Kids do shake hands.

What have you guys been

up to all day, boys?

- Playing, you know.

- Playing, yeah.

- And having fun.

- Yeah.

Great, great.

You know, it's suppertime,

sir, and we all have to go home

and have a nice big supper.

Don't we, Billy?

Right you are, Joe.

Tell you what, Billy,

we're gonna take

the Woodster with us.

He looks a little tired.

And we'll see you at home.

Bye, Mr. Forrester.

- What time is it, Bradley?

- 5:
03, Joe.

This is perfect. Gotta go home

and gobble down your supper.

Don't even think about puking,

'cause you never know

who's watching.

Bye.

Three whole worms to go.

See, the trick with

chopsticks is

to pinch them like so.

And then it's all

in the wrist.

What's the matter, honey?

Aren't you hungry?

Of course he's hungry.

Out riding bikes around all day.

How many games did

we play today, Helen?

One, but it went

on forever.

- Mommy?

- Yes, sweetie. What is it, honey?

Oh.

- Oh, hey, Wood.

- Poor thing.

- Woody, come on.

- Oh, honey.

- I'll give him a bath.

- Okay.

I got you, oh, baby.

Aw, little guy.

He's tuckered out, that little duffer.

Looks like you ran

him ragged, didn't you?

- Dad!

- Yeah.

It's getting late

and they're all going out again.

And... and...

What's going on?

I've been eating worms

all day.

What?

Well, I didn't want to, but then when

I started I had to keep going.

And it made me feel awful.

It's okay.

It's okay, Billy, I understand.

I do. I've eaten a few worms

myself this past week.

- You have?

- Yeah.

I'm the new guy too, remember?

Trying to fit in.

Trying to please others.

A worm here and a worm there,

I know what that tastes like.

You're not talking about

real worms, are you, Dad?

I'm talking about adjusting

to a new situation.

You know, I saw

all those boys today.

It's a lot of boys to meet

all at once too, isn't it?

Yeah, well, they're not all

as nice as you think they are.
