The Funnies must stop an evil bus driver!!! www.The-Funnies-Legend.piczo.com
Karl Smedd was your typical teenager, he had scruffy hair and always wore a blue shirt but he was typical because he hated to leave his bed. Even when his alarm clock goes for school.
"I can't beleive i overslept again!" he said as he ran like a madman through the back allies ", Mr. part's going to have my head!"
Luckily though Karl Smedd was a member of The Funnies and he was the only member that had superspeed due to an accident that happened some time ago where he was hit by a fusion blast by a nuclear generator.
Karl got up and looked around him to make sure no-one was watching, after checking the coast was clear he took a deep breath and ran straight forward. A cold breeze flew past everyone he ran past as he made his way to school.
Suddenly out of nowhere came the schoolbus. Karl made his way along banging on the windows to let him in, but unfortunatley the bus driver didn't hear him. Not looking where he was going Karl ran straight into a pile of rope.
"I've got an idea!" he exclaimed turning the rope into a kind of lasso. With faith he chucked it into the air and it managed to latch onto the bus. Karl looked very pleased with himself until he saw that the rope was tied to his foot.
"Uh-oh!" Karl exclaimed. the bus dragged him along the road with Karl screaming like an idiot and narrowly avoiding cars. He managed to free his foot and hung onto the rope for dear life.
Quite near a waiter was serving soup to a table outside until Karl smashed straight into him causing him to spill soup down the waiters shirt. Karl then smashed into a the advertising board outside the restaurant which got stuck on his feet. Karl then began to use it like a skateboard against the road.
"This could only happen to me," Karl said. His next obstacle was coming up a peice of wood on a skip that made a sort of ramp. As the board went up the ramp Karl flew up into the air screming his lungs out and found his way onto the school bus. The bus stopped as it reached the school gates and Karl fell off.
"I think I'll wake up the next time my alarm goes off," said Karl exhaustedly.
Another teenager approached him with long black hair and a green T-shirt, his name was Aron Briggern and was Karl's best friend and he was the leader of The Funnies.
"How did you get on top off the schoolbus?" He asked.
"You wouldn't beleive me if i told you," replied Karl putting a hand on his back.
The next two to come off the bus was Matthew and Mark Hatcher they were twins. Matt was taller with blonde hair and an orange shirt, he was a supergenius and the smartest person in The Funnies and Mark was second in command and he had black hair and usually wore a red T-shirt.
"That was awesome Karl!" exclaimed Mark ", your a natural boarder."
"Errr...Thanks," replied Karl.
RING!! The bell was going off for The Funnies first lesson, the dreaded Maths!! But this wasn't the worst part the worst was the fact they had the meanest teacher in the school, Mr. Part.
He hated The Funnies because they once accidently turned him into a zombie. Matt was experimenting with Stink bombs he invented and The Funnies chucked it into Mr. Part's office and it turned him into a zombie.
"So Karl can you answer this mathematical equation?" Mr. Part asked Karl as he was slowly drifting to sleep.
"Pie?" replied Karl going on his stomach.
"That was a lucky guess!!" exclaimed Mr. Part.
"Hello Children," excalimed the headteacher walking into the classroom. She was short and fat with short blonde hair. Her name was Mrs Smeely but everyone called her Mrs Smiley because she was always smiling and didn't often get angry.
"I'd like everyone to attend the school asembly this afternoon, to commemorate the bus driver who died driving home from school," said Mrs Smiley ", thankyou that is all."
"Sir," asked one of the students in the back ", what happened to the bus driver that died?"
Mr. Part gave an angry look towards the back. You can tell when Mr. Part was angry cause he stares at you and one of his eyes get bigger and looks like it will explode.
"The bus driver was driving home rom an ordinary day, he hated children and had to take the job purely for the money. He was driving home when suddenly a child divied infront of the bus, he swerved out of control straight over a cliff," said Mr. Part ", They had to tell it was him from his dental records."
The room seemed to get chillier and had more of an eerie atmosphere.
"Creepy," exclaimed Mark ", I was we knew where he landed we could check it out."
"Yeah it is a shame," replied Aaron.
Later on that day just after the assembly in the bus driver's memory it was hometime the best time of a school day. It was getting darker earlier and the sky was almost pitch black. All the lamposts in the area were on.
"I guess we'll get to home then," said Aaron ", Whose taking the bus?"
"Not me not after that story," replied Karl
"Me neither," said Matt ", let's just all walk home!"
"Okay," replied Aaron with a smile on his face.
Once everyone had departed for home it was just Karl walking on his own. The streets seemed to get darker and longer. The air got colder and colder. All of a sudden one of the streets lamposts went out, followed by another one and another one until the whole street went out.
"Okay Karl, it's probably just a power cut nothing to worry about," Karl said to himself. Suddenly everything went quiet and all that could be heard was thr unning of an engine.
Suddeny Headlights came on from behind Karl, mist spreaded around his feet, Karl looked at the bus the driver was a skeleton that looked very angry, with a huge evil laugh the bus began to charge at Karl.
"AAAHHHHH!!!" he screamed running for his life whilst the bus kept charging, luckily Karl was too quick and managed to get away.
He ran into his house shutting the door behind him. The next thing to do was ring Matt and tell him what had happened.
"Karl slow down," Matt said down the phone.
"It skelton bus driver, he driving bus tried hit me," said Karl
"We'll sort this out tommorrow," said Matt ", just try to get some sleep."
The next morning came very slowly to Karl Smedd as he could not get hardly any sleep. He eyes were wide and awake, he got up had some coffee and went to school.
The bus driver opened the doors to him and he was very rluctant to get on the bus, Mark and Aarin had to drag him on.
"It was awful," said Karl ", he tried to run me over."
"I think Karl's telling the truth," said Matt looking at the newspaper ", A kid from our school was run over by a hit and run driver, he survived and is still in hospital he excalims the streetlights went out and all that could be heard was the sound of an engine."
"Oh that is so cool!" said Mark ", It's like something out of a horror movie."
"Don't say that!" replied Karl ", your going to give me nightmares"
"Right gang," said Aaron ", I think we've got a ghost on our hands."
"Yeah," replied Mark ", what shall we do?"
"Wait until dark," said Aaron ", and make sure the Funnies-Buggy is ready to roll."
The Funnies-Buggy was The Funnies vehicle of choice, it waas a beach buggy that Mark found and he made some adjustments to it and painted it red and then Matt added a few gadgets to it.
The Funnies said in the buggie waiting for the bus driver to appear, it was the same street Karl was on when he striked so The Funnies was expecting him to turn up.
"What do we do if he does turn up?" asked Karl
"I haven't thought that far," replied Matt.
"Oh, well that is perfect!" replied Karl ", we're sitting ducks to an evil bus driver murdering phycopath!"
"Well, we've managed without a plan before," replied Mark trying to cheer Karl up.
Suddenly the street went dark and mist surrounded the Buggy. The air got chillier and the lamposts began to go out.
"Here we go!" said Matt. All that be hurd was a spinechilling laugh from the bus driver behind them.
Mark put his foot down and the buggy sped off being followed by the bus driver behind them.
The bus was fast and caught upto them quickly salmming into the back of the buggy.
"We need to do something!" said Karl.
"I agree," replied Aaron getting up and jumping off the buggy onto the front of the bus. He slowly made his way to the d bus door and pushed the button to open it.
"Get off my bus!" exclaimed the bus driver looking at Aaron. He got out of his seat and hit Aaron with such velocity that he was sent into the back door of the bus.
The back door came off and Aaron found it hard to hold on. The bus driver approached him.
"I hate children," he said Putting his foot onto Aaron's hand.
"And we hate you," replied Aaron who quickly grabbed the bus driver with his other hand and forced him off the bus. His skeleton smashed into peices and the bus all of a sudden disappeared into a misty air.
"That was close," said Mark looking behind him.
"Well, I'm glad it's over," said Karl ", Now let's get out of here!!
