I didn't want to scream "THE BRITISH ARE COMING" because that wasn't quite the situation. Oh well, I think the girls got the idea when I ran down the stairs screaming "WE'RE GONNA DIE".
They all woke up and, with knives in their hands, asked what in the name of the universe was going on. I told them we were under attack. I told them about the whole jawbreaker incident. Naturally, questions were asked.
"How are you alive?" Layla asked.
"Are you hurt?"Eva asked.
"Can you start over?" Julia asked.
I sighed. "There is a whole candy army outside our house. They have weapons."
"We need to find that Satanic book pronto, or we will all die," Layla stated. I had almost forgotten about that book. That book was what the the Candyman used to bring this nightmare to life. It would only make sense if the book held the spell for returning them into inanimate objects.
"We just need to figure out where it is," Eva said.
"Well, you'd think it'd be in that sea of candy, wouldn't it?" Julia reasoned.
"Yeah," I agreed, "they'll be hiding it from us."
"No, duh," Layla said sarcastically, "it's not like it's their only weakness and key to their destruction. With our luck, it's probably right damn smack in the middle of the army."
"Good idea, we should look there first," I said, decisively.
"WHAT?" All three girls squawked.
"You heard me. If we're going to destroy them, we'll need to suit up."
I went into my garage and looked for weapon-like stuff. I brought the girls with me. Plain old kitchen knives weren't going to cut it (pun intended). I found a broomstick minus the broom and I gave it to Julia, telling her to duct tape it to her knife. I found my old softball bag from a year ago and gave it to Layla. I found an old hose and told Eva to fling the end with the metal at the candy. Finally, I found a ton of firecrackers from Julys past and a few mousetraps.
We went through the tedious process of preparing our weapons. We armed ourselves with our given tool and with plastic trash bags to trap the candy. It took almost an hour. It was about three thirty in the morning, but we were ready to go.
"Let's go blow up some gummy bear butt."
