Henry Danger Imagines

The Calico Man 1

Two weeks later......

(In the Man Cave)

Piper: (comes in the elevator with Jasper and Schwoz) "I cannot believe we lost track of him...again!"

Jasper: "that's like the fourth time this week. He just keeps changing locations."

Schwoz: "every time i think i've got him he just poofs into thin air and appears somewhere else."

(Piper and Jasper grimace at Schwoz)

Schwoz: "what?"

Jasper: "dude you just said poof!"

Schwoz: "so, what's wrong if i say poof?"

Piper: (deadpan) "you could say disappear!"

Schwoz: "and i chose to say poof instead! Poof! Poof! Pooooof!"

Jasper: "sounds like you're farting triple times."

Piper: "or you're letting short air out of a balloon at intervals."

Jasper: (points) "yeah, true. That makes way more sense now that i think about it."

(Ray comes in with Henry who is sadly strumming a guitar)

Ray: "Hey, you guys! What news about Charlotte?"

Henry: (slumps on the couch and simultaneously strums a sad note) "don't say her name!"

Piper: "what's wrong with him?"

Ray: "I don't know Piper. You probably forgot that it's your fault that his girlfriend has been missing for who knows how long. Now all of a sudden my sidekick's a guitarist."

Piper: "I thought you weren't allowed to point fingers. Rule number 25 of the Manstitution."

Ray: "I own the Manstitution and i can do whatever i want because i'm in charge."

Jasper: (throws arms up) "yea dude, we get it!"

Schwoz: (walks over to Henry and fiddles with his hair) "awwn! I've never seen Henry this sad ever since the first week Charlotte went missing."

Henry: (cries and strums a tune) "don't say her name!"

Schwoz: "oh man, this is terrible. He's going to start playing Taylor Swift. Heartbreak is the worst."

Ray: (snaps fingers) "Wrong!"

Schwoz: "what?"

Ray: "Toothaches are the worst. You ever had a bad tooth and you couldn't eat steak for a whole week? I had a toothache once. It was the ugliest memory i have ever lived through. So i say toothaches are the worst."

Piper: (snaps fingers) "wrong!."

Ray: "what?"

Piper: "I say plugging your phone in and discovering it was never charging the whole time IS the worst."

Jasper: (snaps fingers) "Wrong!"

Piper: "what?"

Jasper: "Leaving a snack in the refrigerator for later and finding out someone ate them IS the worst."

Schwoz: (snaps fingers) "Wrong!

Jasper: "what?"

Schwoz: "what?"

(Everyone looks at him questioningly)

Piper: "Aren't you gonna say something that counters what Jasper, me and Ray has said?"

Schwoz: "why would i do that?"

Jasper: "You snapped your fingers and said wrong!"

Schwoz: "Well, you did it."

Jasper: "yes, that is because i had something to say to counter Piper's statement. You didn't have to snap your fingers if you were not gonna say anything at all."

Schwoz: "Oh, so now you're gonna tell me how to live my life?!"

Piper: "dude, what is wrong with you?"

Schwoz: "I refuse to answer any questions without a lawyer!"

Ray: "Schwoz, stop arguing with those two and tell me what you found out about The Calico Man."

Henry: (sits up slowly) "Who's The Calico Man?"

Schwoz: (inhales deeply) "that's just great. Nice job Ray! I thought we were not supposed to tell Henry anything about The Calico Man until we find out where he's hiding."

Ray: "Well, if you'd found out some useful information about The Calico Man a long time ago, we wouldn't be in this awkward situation right now."

Henry: "You guys have been keeping secrets from me?"

Jasper: "We didn't want to hurt you any further by giving you false hope."

Piper: "This Calico dude keeps disappearing at the last minute whenever we're this close to finding him."

Henry: (puts the guitar down) "what does he look like?"

Schwoz: (goes to sit in the controls chair) "I don't know. No one has ever seen The Calico Man but the last time we found him, he was at the showdown karaoke at the Randy Rock Bottom concert."

Henry: "so?"

Ray: "we followed him all the way down there and it was just a dead trail. Few minutes later, our tracker showed us he was at the Swellview Park."

Piper: "followed him there and his location changed again to an alley near Montego's. After that, he appeared at The Basement."

Jasper: "After that, the ruins of The Frittle Factory then The National Spelling Bee Museum and The Time Jerker's Lair."

Henry: "The Time Jerker's Lair? What was he doing down there?"

Ray: "dunno kid but whoever this Calico Man might be, he's toying with us. If we don't stop him, he might take us on a nasty trip all around the world."

Jasper: (musing) "that would be nice without the nasty part."

Piper: (elbows him) "Don't you see? If this guy's moving around so much and so quickly, he's doing so while he has Charlotte with him. He's bent on making sure we don't find him or her.....ever!"

(The room goes quiet as everyone stares at one another. The scene closes and open theme plays)
