Monsters at Large Page #3

What else?

We see branch.

He sees big, scary monster hand.

On it.

No more monster under the bed.

- Anything else?

- I think that's it.

Well, that was easy.

Let's go.

Wait... now it's time

for the best part.

What do you mean?

Initiating monster fight.

Ahhh! There he is! Get him!

He's getting away!

Jump on his back!

Are they gonna be Okay?

I'm sure everything's

gonna be fine.

Alex, is everything okay

in there?

Yeah, Mom, we almost got him!

Here! Put him in the monster

containment unit!

Get in there, monster!

Can't you be more believable?

I'm not an actor!

Watch the master.

Ahh! Ooh!

Phoenix!

Grab the monster cannon!

- Got it!

- Now say you don't have a clear shot.

- What?

- Say you don't have a clear shot.

But I don't have a good shot!

Just shoot!

You did it!

You saved my life!

It was nothing.

I got it, I got it.

You're grateful.

We came, we saw,

we kicked its monster butt.

Where's the monster?

It's locked in our

special containment unit.

Now what do you do with him?

So what we do is... um...

Uhh...

We have a trans-dimensional

portal.

We're gonna place him into a

world with other monsters.

There he'll be happy and not feel

the need to terrorize you anymore.

- What she said.

- Yep.

You really got the monster?

We did.

Thank you, he was so scary.

I told you I'd always

protect you, buddy.

Thanks, we really

appreciate it, guys.

We should go,

we have a monster to transport.

Uhh, sure.

Yeah, just take your phone.

And be home by eight.

I will.

That... was awesome.

Yeah, it was.

I can't believe

how well it worked.

And kudos to Phoenix's save.

Trans-dimensional portal?

I figured that would be the best way to

safely and humanely get rid of the monster.

There have been some theories on the subject

that have really jumped the research ahead.

I got it, snorefest.

Thank you.

- Hey, sis.

- Whoa, you scared me.

What're you guys doing here

being all creepy?

- Just getting home.

- From what?

Fighting a monster.

We're monster fighters.

Okay...

Phoenix helped me with an

idea to convince my brother

that we fought and captured the

imaginary monster he has in his room.

You, Li'l Miss Book Bug, dressed

up in this crazy costume

to pretend to catch monsters?

Yeah.

Finally shedding your nerd

cocoon to become a butterfly.

Actually, the butterfly

emerges from a chrysalis.

Okay...

Anyway, I can't wait

to tell Mom and Dad.

All right, Taylor,

I'm heading out now.

Okay, text

me this weekend.

- Okay.

- Ashley?

Alex? What are you doing here?

What's with the outfits?

What outfits?

The outfits you all have on.

Oh, these outfits.

Yeah, we dressed up

like this

to help my brother

with something.

It's no big deal.

We acted like monster fighters, so

he could sleep better at night.

We had lights

and special effects,

sound effects, and this thing!

It was epic!

Like I said,

it's no big deal.

I actually think that's

really sweet that you'd

do something like that

for your brother.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. Did it work?

Better than we thought it would.

You guys out to start

marketing yourselves.

I mean, I'm sure a lot of kids

have monsters in their rooms.

We should create

our own business.

I have no idea how to do

something like that.

I could help.

I did this whole marketing thing

for my babysitting business

and it turned out pretty well.

Cool, what should we

start first?

Leave it to me.

Say cheese!

Cheese!

Got it.

And what do you call yourselves?

Well, we haven't quite

figured out our name yet.

How about... Monster Busters?

That's it!

The Monster Busters.

It's... so simple.

- Thanks.

- No problem. I'll see you later.

- Bye.

- Bye.

What an awesome name, huh?

Monster Busters?

That's literally the first

name I suggested.

Yeah, well... it didn't sound

as good coming from you.

- He's right.

- No one asked you.

Two to one?

It'd be better

if we were unanimous.

Fine. Monster Busters it is.

- But, I get to make the uniform.

- Deal.

All right, Monster Busters,

hands in!

On three.

Monster Busters...

Why didn't you say anything?

- I was waiting for the count.

- Yeah.

I bounced our hands

three times.

Oh.

That wasn't quite clear.

Okay. On bounce three.

Monster Busters!

...busters.

Yeah, we can work

on that later.

We'd better get home.

Guys, watch out for monsters!

- Whoo...

- Yeah, yeah.

Unlike my brother, I know

that monsters aren't real.

All right, see ya guys.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye.

I'm home.

Hey, buddy!

Hey, Dad.

Your mom just told me about

this new club you're a part of.

That is so cool.

Thanks, but we're

not really a club.

We're Monsters Busters.

- Monster Busters?

- Yeah.

No... no other

super-cool adjectives...

"Super Mega" Monster Busters?

Nope. Just Monster Busters.

Well, that's pretty catchy.

You know, I was once the leader

of an elite monster fighting

operation, back in my day.

Honey, quit making stuff up.

What? I was!

Your dad loves

to tell these stories.

And she loves to hear them.

Oh, yes I just swoon

over them.

It certainly didn't bother you

when I asked you out.

I asked you out.

So, how's Gavin?

Oh, he's sleeping like a baby.

Really?

Yeah, what you guys did earlier

was really sweet.

You should've seen how happy

he was after you left.

It was nothing.

It wasn't nothing.

You know, Gavin really

looks up to you.

Your mother's right.

I'm really proud of you, son.

Thanks.

Good night.

- Good night.

- Night.

Do you like it?

I love it.

Thanks.

No problem.

I need a project

for my marketing class.

I hope you don't mind.

Of course not.

But do you really think

people will look at it?

It's already had,

like, 141 views.

Oh, and I attached a link for the

flyer for all the non-computer users.

Wow. You're good at this.

Just don't forget

the small people

when Monster Busters

becomes a household name.

Of course.

How could I ever forget you?

Well, I gotta go.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey, you're still up.

- Yeah.

- Who were you talking to?

It's just a girl from school.

What's her name?

Uhh, Ashley Snyder.

Really, Ashley Snyder?

Not bad!

- You know her?

- I work with her mom.

Really?

You mind putting in

a good word for me?

Honey, if you just be yourself,

I won't have to do anything.

Trust me.

Good night.

Good night, Mom.

Watch out, monsters,

Here we come.

We did it.

Hello?

- Dude, we're famous.

- What?

We got a ton of requests

on the site.

I'm heading over

to Phoenix's now.

This weekend, we got some

monster busting to do.

That page your girlfriend made

is the bomb, yo.

She's not my girlfriend.

Blah, blah, blah.

Whatever.

Meet us in an hour.

All right, see ya.

Whoa.

- You like?

- I like.

I spent all night

making these.

These are awesome.

I made us these.

You like?

I love!

Oh, I almost forgot.

I have these.

- Fireworks?

- Yeah.

For what?

In case we need them.

This is the piece

de resistance.

- It's called the Big Bertha.

- What's it do?
