26. Seeing Double

October 2, 1999

When Marcus inadvertently breaks the sink in the boys bathroom, he bolts, allowing Johnny to take the blame. But when he hears that Johnny may face suspension, Marcus instantly regrets his decision not to step forward. Of course, regretting his inaction is one thing. Actually having the courage to step forward and admit to his mistake is something else. While Marcus wrestles with a guilty conscience, Earl, a regular fall-guy during HIS high school days, decides to teach Marcus a lesson. Inspired by an in-class discussion of Lewis Carrolls Through the Looking Glass, Earl sends our heroes to a bizarre alternate mirror world. There, they encounter weird, mirror-versions of our Rhino regulars - a sharp and eagle-eyed Principal Mulligan, an erudite Rod Harwood, a squeaky clean Fred Smertz. As it turns out, our heroes have quite a reputation in this mirror-world - and not a good one. Turns out THEIR mirror-versions are some class A trouble-makers - and our heroes are paying the price for their bad reps. With the help of the mirror-world Earl, a shy, soft-spoken genius, our heroes make the leap back to their world in time to save IT from the ravages of their trouble-making counterparts - and in time for Marcus to finally accept responsibility for what he has done.

October 2, 1999

Spring has sprung and its time for the annual Flying Rhino Junior High Garden Bonanza! The classroom becomes a sea of plant pots as Mrs. Snodgrass teaches the kids about growing everything from crops to Venus Fly Traps. As part of the lesson, each student is given the opportunity to plant and take care of his or her own crop. After Ruby has planted hers, she stands there waiting. When the others ask what she is waiting for, Ruby replies, Im waiting for my plant to grow, silly. It is a very annoyed Ruby who learns that it could take days, even weeks before she sees the fruits of her labor. Earl sees this and decides to take advantage of the situation. This is the perfect opportunity to test his new plant growth formula. If the experiment is successful, he will use his Phantom X Brand Fertilizer in his ultimate goal of total world domination! But first things first. He dispatches Raticus upstairs to drop off a bag of the stuff where our heroes are sure to find it. When our heroes stumble upon the bag, they are thrilled. Why wait when you can have plants now, NOW, NOW! Its our heroes own impatience that causes them all to use the wonder fertilizer. Of course the plant formula works a little too well. Not only do the plants grow faster, but they grow bigger and MEAN! Soon the school is overrun by killer vegetation of every type. Ultimately, our heroes must rely on a lot of agricultural know-how and a little patience to save the day.

But when Nurse Cutlip holds up an old photo of Earl as a warning of what could happen if they DONT take care of their bodies, Earl becomes enraged. He morphs the school into HIS body, determined to give the kids an up close and personal look at just how healthy he is. Our heroes are ambushed by a gang of bacteria, unpleasant thugs who have laid claim to this turf (Earls body) and challenge our heroes to a rumble. Marcus realizes they are no match for the bacteria, but they know who is: the bodys defenders, the white blood cells. Unfortunately, the white blood cells are a weak, sickly lot, lacking in self-confidence. Using the information they learned from Nurse Cutlip about keeping the body healthy, our heroes proceed to get the white blood cells in shape for the big showdown.

A few keystrokes later, the enviromaster has morphed the school into THE MOST dangerous place imaginable. Suddenly, everything is in a state of disrepair, exposed wiring abounds, the cafeteria floor is covered with grease, improperly labeled household cleaners lie about.

Earl, watching from the boiler room, scoffs, "Foolish children! Who cares about garbage?" He hands Raticus a pizza box with the remains of his lunch. Raticus throws the box into an old coal storage room which is already stuffed with garbage. He quickly slams the door shut. The Phantom cackles, "Out of sight, out of mind!" The kids echo those sentiments with their first solution to the school's garbage problem - they stuff all of it down the unused coal chute. But the extra garbage is too much for the storage room and explodes into the Boiler Room, burying Earl and Raticus. Furious, the Phantom transforms the trash pile into a living garbage-monster! Our heroes must make use of everything they know about reducing, reusing, and recycling to strip the garbage monster of, first, its organic elements, then, its aluminum elements, and, finally, its pure plastic form.

21. Daredevil OToole and the Amazon Adventure

October 2, 1999

Ask anyone what Billys favorite movie is and theyll tell you: Daredevil Donnelly and the Amazon Adventure. Hes seen it twenty times. And with all of the hype surrounding the cheeseball classic release to video, Billy has caught Daredevil Donnelly fever all over again, suddenly patterning himself after the films dashing hero. He shows up at school sporting Daredevil Donnellys trademark fedora, toting Daredevils trademark lasso, spouting his trademark lines (Make way for adventure!, Stand back and be amazed!, etc.) Hes even got Daredevil Donnellys bluster and bombast down pat. Well, Billys heroic posturing proves too much for Earl who decides to transform the school in a real-life Amazon adventure. But, alas, the thick-headed Raticus inadvertently triggers the morph while Earl is topside fixing a camera and before you know it, the Phantom (in a less-than-clever Heidi disguise) has joined our heroes on a hair-raising ride down the Amazon. Over the course of the adventure, Billys heroic posturing only serves to heighten their dangerous predicament.

Marcus is angry with his friends. Made to feel guilty, Ruby argues with him. She really likes Buford, but doesnt think he should be pushing sanitation engineering as a career. Making a living in a sewer? Come on, what kind of a crazy person would WANT to work underground for a living? Earl is outraged! HE works underground for a living and hes certainly not crazy! He transforms the school into a sewer, complete with noxious sewer gas, bursts of fast flowing water, and, the token alligator.

19. Out of Time

October 2, 1999

Its been days since Billy struck out in the Junior High Baseball Championship Game and he hasnt stopped moping yet. If only he had the chance to do it all over again.

Picking up on their conversation, Mrs. Snodgrass discusses time travel and its treatment in literature. Marcus points out that, though a fun idea, time travel is impossible. This sets off Earl.

Buoyed by a glitzy ad campaign (compliments of his spin doctor/campaign manager the Phantom), the third candidate (none other than Raticus in a clever disguise) shoots ahead in the polls. If Billy and Lydia are to defeat this upstart, they must clean up their acts and work together.

She could be writing about anyone - her parents, her Uncles cat, Earl. Earl? Convinced that Lydia is writing about him, Earl transforms the school into a 60s spy-scape and dispatches a rogues gallery of spies to retrieve the document. With time ticking down, Billy, Marcus, Ruby, and Lydia must outmaneuver the colorful henchmen and deliver the journal into the proper hands (in this case, Mrs. Snodgrass, patiently waiting for them to turn in their journal assignments).
