Recap
Previously on Globturds: The Series…
Professor Roundy and Captain Curveball tried to sneak into a space center in disguises. Curveball’s T-shirt said “Totally Not a Flat Earther,” which fooled absolutely nobody. Dragged out by security, Roundy shouted: “Next time, we’ll storm the launch pad!”
And today… they actually try.
The Eighth Experiment: Operation Launch Pad
Roundy unrolled a crayon-colored “battle plan” on the hood of Curveball’s car.
-
Step 1: Sneak past the fence.
-
Step 2: Run to the rocket.
-
Step 3: Ask astronauts politely to prove the globe.
-
Step 4: Eat snacks.
Curveball squinted.
“Professor, I like step 4 the best.”
Roundy nodded proudly.
“This plan cannot fail.”
The Attempt
They wore “stealth gear” — all black outfits, except Curveball’s shirt had neon green glow-in-the-dark stripes.
At night, they crept toward the rocket site.
Roundy whispered: “Captain, move silently!”
Curveball crunched loudly on potato chips.
Roundy: “Not THAT silently!”
They reached the fence. Curveball climbed halfway before getting stuck.
“Professor! My belly’s caught between the bars!”
The guard dogs barked. Floodlights lit up the scene. Roundy panicked.
“Quick! Plan B!”
Curveball asked, “What’s Plan B?”
Roundy shouted, “RUN!”
The Chaos
Alarms blared as the duo dashed across the tarmac. Curveball tripped over a fuel hose and rolled like a bowling ball into a pile of helmets. Roundy sprinted ahead, screaming, “For science!”
The launch crew watched in disbelief. One engineer muttered:
“Who let these clowns out of the circus?”
Curveball, covered in helmets, waved weakly.
“We’re here to see the curve!”
The Cliffhanger
Just as security surrounded them, the rocket engines roared to life. Roundy’s eyes lit up.
“Captain, look! If we sneak onboard, we’ll see the curve ourselves!”
Curveball gasped.
“Snacks… in… SPACE!”
The crowd laughed as the Globturds were dragged away yet again, still yelling about infiltrating the rocket.
To Be Continued…
Thus ends Part 8 of the saga.
