---------------------------------------------------
 
 

[Globe Flower's house, Texas]

Globe Flower: Wow! What a heatwave! 

[She looks around at the stragglers from her last party: an argument is 
winding up, a few people are talking about having a Goldeneye 
deathmatch, one chump is trying to start a game of charades]

Globe Flower: Hmm... *thinks for a few seconds* Got it! *to whole 
board* It's time to have a POOL PARTY!!! Jump on in!

[Maxim arrives]

Maxim: I wanna swim! *he swims*

[At The Mighty Locke's house]

Locke: I could use a pool in this horrible Florida heat... OK, I'm 
there! *runs to Texas* *jumps in pool*

[Magus arrives]

Magus: Hrpm, I Do Not See Sense in A Make Believe Party. *scowls at 
everyone*

[At Nitro's house]

Nitro: WOOHOO!!! Let me jump on i- Wait a minute! It's raining 
outside... *grumbles to himself*

Globe Flower: Um... this party is where I live. It's not raining here, 
so come on in!

Nitro: Oh, I forgot! *runs to Texas* *jumps in pool*

[PokémonMaster151 arrives]

PM151: I can't swim. *he kicks the fence*

Narrator: The party is beginning to kick off! But what's this? It looks 
like Locke is going to try a magic trick!

Locke: *clears throat* *addresses guests* I am going to try an 
experiment. Wish me luck... hopefully, a picture of Locke will appear on the 
right.

[Everyone stops talking and looks to Locke's right]

Locke: Behold!

[Nothing happens]

Locke: Dammit, I must have typed the wrong address.

[CyberZero arrives]

CyberZero: CANNONBAAAAAAAAAALL!! *jumps in, splashing everyone* This is 
fun.

Nitro: Ahh, the sun, the water, the fun, the lemonade, the Game Boys... 
wonderful...

CyberZero: *switches arm cannon to Super Soaker mode* WATERFIIIIGHT!!!

Nitro: *climbs tree with a bucket of water balloons* EAT WATER-FILLED 
RUBBER!!!

Locke: *replaces floaties with 16 ton weights* CANNONBALL!!! Eat - er, 
drink - water!

[Q teleports in]

Q: *pulls out water balloon bazooka* let's play war *shoots magus until 
he's soaking wet* BWA HA HA!

Magus: Grrr, I'm Going to Kill You!

CyberZero: Magus, calm down, have fun!

[CyberZero pushes Magus into the pool and pelts him mercilessly with 
water balloons]

CyberZero: Live a little! *hides behind a tree*

Narrator: Meanwhile, at the house...

[S- Cargo watches the pool party from a window]

S- Cargo: Hmm... They are close to discovering my secret underwater 
evil lair. They must be stopped. *pause* Plus I'd kinda like someone to 
play charades with me. *starts crying*

Evil Grand Vizier: Master, Magus was foiled.

S- Cargo: Bring him before me.

[The soaking wet Magus is dragged into the room by a goon]

S- Cargo: Now you will know the price of failure. Generic Goon 17665-

Generic Goon 17664: *interrupts him* You got my name wrong. This evil 
organisation is so impersonal. *runs off crying*

Magus: Umm... see You. *runs off giggling*

S- Cargo: Damn it. It looks like I'll have to do this myself. *he 
straps a plastic shark fin to his back*

Evil Grand Vizier: Master, can I change everyone's control styles in 
Goldeneye multiplayer?

S- Cargo: *just about to step out of the door* Go nuts.

[He sneaks down to the pool and climbs in unnoticed]

S- Cargo: *quietly* Bwahaha. *puts on snorkel and goggles*

[He submerges]

Narrator: Back with the guests...

Nitro: *dives into the pool* Ah, nice and cool.

[At pokemongirl14's house]

pokemongirl14: cool! man! i wish my pool was open. *runs to Texas* 
*jumps in pool*

[Dekar arrives]

Dekar: My dad's opening my pool soon. Man, I can't wait!

Locke: I wonder if you can type messages underwater... *takes laptop 
and plunges into pool* WARNING! sign-l-brea--ing up...

Nitro: CANNONBALL!!! *dives in* *climbs out* CANNONBALL!!! *dives in* 
*climbs out* CANNONBALL!!! *dives in* *climbs out* CANNONBALL!!! *dives 
in* *climbs out* CANNONBALL!!! *dives in* *climbs out* CANNONBALL!!! 
*dives in* *climbs out* CANNONBALL!!! *dives in* *climbs out* That was 
fun...

Narrator: Can it be? The guests are oblivious to the evil mastermind's 
plot!

[Beneath the pool surface]

S- Cargo: Curses, my evil scheme is not working. *he uses his 
underwater radio*

Evil Grand Vizier: Master, what is your bidding?

S- Cargo: Get a bunch of goons down here at the poolside to incite some 
panic. *turns off underwater radio, keeps swimming around*

Evil Grand Vizier: Generic Goons 14362, 389, and 10034, you are 
perfectly suited to this mission.

[The goons change into their trunks]

Evil Grand Vizier: But you will need to be disguised so that no-one 
realises you are evil goons.

[The goons all put on black ski masks]

Evil Grand Vizier: To the pool, goons!

[The goons march down to the pool]

Generic Goon 14362: *to Globe Flower* Look at that fin! I think it's a 
shark! You'd better run far away! Great party. Can I have a drink?

Generic Goon 389: *to Locke* Look! A shark! You'd better run far away! 
How do I put a pic in my sig?

Generic Goon 10034: *to Nitro* Hey! You'd better run far away from that 
shark! Do you want to play Marco Polo?

Narrator: Oh no! Will our heroes be fooled?

Locke: *to Generic Goon 389* Hmm... you look a bit suspicious... Are 
you sure you aren't a Generic Goon in a black ski mask trying to incite 
some panic because some evil mastermind told you to?

Generic Goon 389: *long pause* Yes, I am pretty sure.

Locke: Okay, have fun!

Globe Flower: *whips out mallet* You will not defeat me, you Generic 
Goons! *smashes goons* All Grass pokémon, GO! Help me out here Locke!

[Locke pulls out his Illumina sword and slices the goons to pieces]

Concessions Guy: Hot fresh meat!

Narrator: Well, they saw straight through those goons. But what's this? 
New guests are arriving!

[Yoshi arrives]

[The Mighty Charizard2000 arrives]

Charizard2000: *uses Metronome* He he! *uses Hydro Pump on everyone*

[Everyone splashes her]

[Hbomb arrives]

Hbomb: Cannonball!! *dives in* *climbs out* I'm blue, da ba dee, da ba 
di. Da ba dee da ba di. Da ba dee, da ba di. Da ba dee da ba di.

[CyberMegaManX arrives]

[CMMX joins in with Hbomb]

CMMX/Hbomb: I'm blue, da ba dee, da ba di...

[Gmem arrives]

Gmem: Hmm... *jumps in* TIMMY! *evolves into a yellow virus*

[Everyone looks confused]

[Without warning pokemongirl14 pushes Magus, Q, PokemonMaster151, and 
ViciousRabite into the pool]

[Everyone else looks even more confused]

pokemongirl14: that's for fighting in another topic.

PokemonMaster151: Dammit I said I couldn't swim! *starts sinking* *Q 
lifts him out with psychokinetic powers*

ViciousRabite: *treads water* *dazed expression* I didn't even know I 
was at this party...

Narrator: Hahaha... Anyway, I wonder what our special guest villain is 
up to. Let's find out!

S- Cargo: *thinks* Still no-one seems to be paying any attention to my 
shark diguise. I need a new evil scheme.

[He climbs unnoticed out of the pool and tiptoes back to the house]

Evil Grand Vizier: Licence To Kill, Stack, Pistols?

S- Cargo: Insolence! I need some time to think of a new masterplan. *he 
starts brooding*

[The doorbell rings]

Evil Grand Vizier: Generic Goon 7596, you are perfectly suited to this 
mission.

[Generic Goon 7596 goes and opens the door]

[It's Yoshi]

Yoshi: i want to talk to s- cargo. i have an evil idea.

Evil Receptionist: Do you have an appointment?

Yoshi: look its the goodyear blimp. *swallows her and turns her into an 
egg*

S- Cargo: I like your style.

Yoshi: you have been going about this all wrong. you need a political 
approach.

S- Cargo: What do you have in mind?

Yoshi: i will start an i hate pool parties club. then your evil 
underwater base will be safe again because everyone will leave.

Evil Grand Vizier: Can I be the president?

Yoshi: i am the president.

[The Evil Grand Vizier goes and cries]

S- Cargo: You can take three goons to work on your campaign.

[In half an hour the poolside is covered in IHPPC banners and posters.]

Generic Goon 84: *to Locke* Here, have an IHPPC leaflet.

Locke: Thanks. *he starts reading it* Wow. These are some scary 
statistics!

Generic Goon 84: Oops, forgot the legal stuff. Disclaimer - statistics 
have been made up by Yoshi and may be completely false.

Locke: OK.

[The goon walks over to Hbomb and CMMX and gives them a leaflet]

Nitro: Do you think that goon might be connected to those evil goons 
that gave us the false warning about - uh, whatever it was - before? 
Someone doesn't want us to have this party.

Globe Flower: You know, you might be right. Yoshi's about to give a 
speech by the diving board... We've got to stop him! He'll wreck the 
party!

[By the diving board]

Yoshi: *taps microphone* is this thing on?

Narrator: Oh no! Can our heroes prevent the spread of S- Cargo's evil 
propoganda?

Locke: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

[Locke pushes Yoshi into the pool]

[Yoshi falls to the bottom and dislodges a plug]

[All the water is drained from the pool and S- Cargo's lair is 
revealed]

Locke: How come I didn't notice that there before?

Globe Flower: Hey! That is a pool toy I used to have! It deflated and 
sunk to the bottom, never to be seen again...

Narrator: With his secret lair revealed, what will S- Cargo do now?

[S- Cargo sees the pool empty from the window]

S- Cargo: Oh no, they have discovered my evil inflatable lair!

Evil Grand Vizier: What now, master?

S- Cargo: Get to the pool and try to calm everyone down. I'll take the 
Mystery Chute into the lair.

Evil Grand Vizier: What are you going to do there?

S- Cargo: Lurk, of course.

[A section of carpet slides back to reveal a hole which S- Cargo jumps 
down]

Evil Grand Vizier: I will go in disguise. *puts on CyberZero costume*

Generic Goon 32: But CyberZero's already...

[The Evil Grand Vizier stares him out]

Generic Goon 32: *sighs* Never mind.

[The Evil Grand Vizier runs down to the pool which all the guests are 
now assembled round]

Evil Grand Vizier: *fake accent* What happened here?

Hbomb: Yoshi was due to give a speech. Globe Flower, Nitro, and Locke 
weren't down with that, so he had two words for them. At least, I'm sure 
he would have, but they pushed him in the pool.

CyberZero: And now, we have a pool party without a pool. *double take* 
Nice costume by the way.

Charizard2000: I've brought the full power of my intellect to bear on 
this quandary. Want to hear my conclusion? *pause* It really sucks!

[Hbomb and CMMX sing a sad duet]

Evil Grand Vizier: *fake accent* Oh how awful. Wait I have an idea! Why 
don't we all go back to the house, away from this secret lai- uh, 
useless pool, and play charades, or pass the parcel, or musical chairs, or 
Goldeneye?

Charizard2000: Hmm... not likely. Can anyone fix this?

[Meanwhile...]

Yoshi: *climbs out of the empty pool, coughing up water* thats it, my 
career as a supervillain is over. i am joining the good guys. *he goes 
and gets a Coke*

Narrator: Will our heroes help? And if so, how?

Charizard2000: Well?

[There is a very long silence]

Q: i'm the biker

[Everyone goes inside to play Goldeneye]

Narrator: Everyone, that is, except Globe Flower, Nitro, and Locke. 
They're wondering why there is a huge sign on the deflated toy that says 
"S- Cargo's Super Secret Lair".

Locke: *ponders* I think that pool toy is the super secret lair of S- 
Cargo.

[They climb down into the pool to check it out]

Globe Flower: Maybe we should press this button... *she presses a 
button*

[A door opens]

[They all walk in to meet the nasty, rotten smell of old, recently 
soaked rubber]

Nitro: This place stinks!

[A hologram of S- Cargo appears in front of them]

Hologram of S- Cargo: Oh man! You discovered my super secret hideout. 
But you won't get any further!

Computer voice: Self destruct sequence initiated. Self destruct in T 
minus 5 minutes.

Locke: Oh no! We have to get out of here!

Narrator: But what's this outside? Yoshi's walking over. Hey, that 
doesn't look like Coke in his glass...

Yoshi: i am drunk again.

[Yoshi puts the plug back in the pool and starts refilling it with a 
cup]

Narrator: Back inside the lair...

Locke: Uh oh, there is water outside!

Nitro: What's happening?

Locke: Some drunk cow is filling the pool up with water!

Yoshi: *faint voice from outside* i am a dino.

Q: *faint voice from outside* i'm an alien.

Globe Flower: And the deflated plastic hideout is about to explode.

Concessions Guy: Slightly used evil lair, about to be blown up, for 
sale!

Q: *faint voice from outside* i really am an alien.

Narrator: Meanwhile, at the party...

pokemongirl14: this topic is going to hello!

[Yoshi enters and kicks everybody in the teeth]

Yoshi: thats for calling me a drunk cow. *pause* i think i will have 
another beer. *has another beer* *starts grazing on the grass outside*

Narrator: O-kaaaaay. I think we'll go back to the hideout.

Nitro: Darn, the door's locked behind us. Come on, let's find a way 
out.

[They start running down the corridors]

[4 minutes and many seconds later they still haven't found a way out]

Globe Flower: The lair is filling up with water, and it's about to 
explode! We have to get out of here!

Locke: I can use my sword to get out.

Globe Flower/Nitro: YOU IDIOT! Why didn't you use it in the first 
place?!

The Mighty Locke: Well...I, uh... *shrugs* *slices through the wall*

Computer voice: 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0. Self destructing.

[Huge explosion]

[They escape just in time as the lair detonates in the half-filled 
pool]

All: FIREWORKS!!!

Globe Flower: Ooooohhhhh... pretty colors...

[Everyone playing Goldeneye, except Magus, stops to look at the 
fireworks]

Magus: Sweet. *shoots everyone in Goldeneye*

Evil Grand Vizier: Hey, I didn't have a gun.

Narrator: Meanwhile, at the poolside...

Globe Flower: Look, my pool's full again!

Locke: All right! Now all we have to do is track down and destroy the 
evil villain behind this.

[CyberZero comes down to the poolside]

CyberZero: *taps Globe Flower on shoulder* Hey, I just realised that 
this is the most popular topic ever! PARTY!!!

[They all party for about 10 seconds]

Globe Flower: *holds up hand* STOP! Sorry CyberZero, but our task isn't 
over.

Nitro: She's right. We need to find S- Cargo and stop whatever evil 
scheme he was planning in that lair. But how?

Globe Flower: I know! *points at floor* Follow the slime trail!

Locke: That's not slime... it looks like an ice-cream that's been 
dripping. Hey Concessions Guy, did you sell an ice-cream recently?

Concessions Guy: Yep, sure did. The guy paid me entirely in pennies... 
pretty evil of him. He was kind of weird looking in fact. Bits of 
tattered rubber all over his clothes, this dazed expression, and staggering, 
like he'd been lurking in some inflatable hideout that got blown up or 
something. *long pause* You don't think..?

Nitro: I know it sounds crazy, but it's all we've got to go on.

Locke: Let's follow the trail!

[Globe Flower, Nitro, and Locke follow the trail of ice-cream]

Globe Flower: Hey, this is leading into my basement.

[They walk down into the basement]

[S- Cargo is sitting at a table with a futuristic looking computer]

Computer voice: Intruder alert.

S- Cargo: *jumps out of his chair, dropping his ice-cream* No! Caught! 
You are more resourceful than I expected...

Globe Flower: *throws pokéball* Bulbasaur! Bind him with your vines!

Bulbasaur: Bulba! *uses Vine Whip*

[The vines wrap around S- Cargo so he is unable to move]

S- Cargo: Bah! I am unable to move!

Locke: Are you going to reveal your evil plot?

S- Cargo: *smirks* Why not have a look for yourself? *nods at the 
computer* You're too late to stop me anyway!

[The heroes rush to the computer]

Locke: He must have salvaged it from his lair...

Nitro: Never mind that! Look at the monitor!

Globe Flower: Hmm... he's sent an email to thousands of addresses - Oh 
my! The subject line reads 'I LOVE YOU'! Nitro - can you do anything?

Nitro: It's a long shot, but I have to try! *sits down at computer and 
starts typing frantically*

[Five minutes pass]

Nitro: *sweating* Almost... made... it...

Globe Flower: *grumpy* Admit it, your username is just too long.

[Another minute passes]

Nitro: *wipes brow* OK, I'm in. Now to start trying to intercept these 
messages... ah, crap. Too late. *he slumps in his chair*

S- Cargo: Bwahahahaha!

Globe Flower: I guess you win, S- Cargo. By now, you'll have brought 
the world's computer networks to their knees.

Locke: *still looking at the monitor* Hey, wait a minute. None of these 
messages have attachments!

Nitro: Huh? Wow, you're right! S- Cargo forgot to include the virus 
attachments, so... they're harmless!

Globe Flower/Locke/Nitro: YEAH! We did it! *they give each other high 
fives*

S- Cargo: *long pause* What's an attachment?

[There is a protracted silence]

Nitro: *clears his throat* So... you were just sending a message that 
said 'I LOVE YOU' to all those people? That was your evil masterplan? 
The reason you converted that pool toy into your secret lair?

S- Cargo: *evil grin* That's right. KWA HA HA!

Locke: *long pause* Uh, that's not very evil...

S- Cargo: It's not?

Locke: Actually most people would think that was quite nice.

S- Cargo: They would?

Globe Flower: *sighs* Let him go, Bulbasaur. Return!

Bulbasaur: Saurbulb. *releases S- Cargo* *gets sucked into pokéball*

S- Cargo: You know what this means?

All: YEAH! PARTY!!

Narrator: And believe it or not... that's just what they did!
 

The End.
