TV Can Be Dangerous

By Mary Beyer

“What’s on?” Cheatsy asked Kookie, who was channel surfing.

“I don’t know. I’m looking.” Kookie said from his seat on the sofa.

“Hey, guys!” Big Mouth called as he ran up. “I heard they added a channel that plays cartoons ALL the time! 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, 1000 years a millennium…!” Cheatsy had pinned Big Mouth down to shut him up.

“Sounds interesting…Big Mouth, what’s the channel?” Kookie asked.

“33!” Big Mouth yelled just clearly enough for Kookie to hear. Kookie flipped to 33 and saw a show called The Flintstones. The credits were rolling.

“Flintstones…Meet the Flintstones! They’re the modern Stone Age fam-il-ee! From the…town of Bedrock…they’re a page right out of his-tor-reeee!" a voice sang.

“What is this stuff?” Cheatsy asked. All this noise had drawn the other Koopalings to the TV. Then a strange sequence of events took place and at the end the screen read “TOONAMI.”

“One…Two…One Two Three Four!” a voice counted.

“Oh, I remember this!” Cootie-Pie said. She didn’t say what was going to be next though, she knew her brothers would change the channel.

Then a voice familiar only to Cootie-Pie started talking.

“I am Sailor Moon! Champion of Justice! You wanna see action? I’ll give it to you! The Sailor Scouts are here!” it said.

“What da?” Bully asked.

“I’m changing the channel!” Kookie proclaimed. Then, the remote started to glow. “Huh?” It shot at the TV and a huge cyclone whirled and pulled all seven of the Koopalings in.

“YAAAAAAAAAHHHH!” the Koopalings yelled.

“This is all your fault, Kookie!” Cheatsy screamed as they fell through the TV.

They woke up on soft grass.

Hip woke up and looked around. “Huh?” he said. Then he saw a sign. “ ‘ Tokyo Elementary School?’ Hmmm. Wasn’t that the name of the school that Sailor Moon went to?”

The other Koopalings were waking up. They looked around, and Kookie figured out something brilliant.

“We’re inside the TV!” He said.

“Well thank you Sir Brilliant. I must thank you for your brilliant observation,” Hip said sarcastically.

“Let’s go in,” Cootie-Pie said. They all walked in. They stopped at one specific room.

“ ‘Ms. Haruna’s Class.’” Cootie-Pie read. “Maybe Sailor Moon can help us.”

The only one in the room was Serena.

“Hey, kids.” she said. “Are you going to a masquerade party? Or are you looking for Rini?”

“That’s it!” Kookie yelled. “I can’t stand Sailor Moon! I’m changing the channel!”

Serena ran up to him. “Hey little kid, how did you know I’m Sailor Moon?” she asked. She touched his shoulder as he pressed the ‘Fast Forward’ button. They were all zapped into the TV together.

The seven Koopalings and Serena woke up on a metallic floor. All the Koopalings stared at Serena.

“Uh, hi. I guess we’re in this together now. What’s your names?” Serena asked.

“I’m Hip, that’s Hop, over there that’s Cootie-Pie, to your left is Big Mouth(don’t try to talk to him), the dude with the wild blue hair is Kookie, that’s Cheatsy, and the strong guy is Bully.” Hip pointed to all the Koopalings in turn.

“Oh,” Serena said. “Nice to meet all of you! I’m Serena.”

“Hey! Kookie! This looks like that robot place from Sonic!” Big Mouth yelled.

“SONIC?” Kookie yelled. “I hate Sonic! We gotta get out of here!” He tried the clicker, but nothing happened.

“Hey, Kookie,” Hop called. “I think we have to get the help of someone from this show. Then we can leave.”

They started walking towards the outskirts of the robot city. The headed into the forest and since none of them had ever watched Sonic, they didn’t know where he and his allies hid. Then Hip found it. He couldn’t use his ball because it was back at the Keep, so he had to walk. Then he tripped on a rock and into a hollow tree chute. The others followed him.

“OW!” They all landed in a heap at the bottom of the chute.

“I have a bad feeling about this,” Serena said. “Moon Star Power!” Within seconds she had turned into Sailor Moon.

“Do we have to get the help from someone like Sonic?” Bully groaned.

“If we ever wanna get back home,” Cootie-Pie told him.

“Hyah!” a voice cried. A blur came past them then whirled around for another pass. This time it wasn’t going to miss.

“Icy Blast!” Hip yelled. A blast of ice came from his wand. It stopped the thing in its tracks.

“How?” it asked. Then, “Are you a ‘bot?”

“Nah.” Hip said, twirling his wand. “I’m Hip Koopa!”

“Never heard of ya,” the voice said. “I’m Sonic.”

Hip introduced his siblings and Sailor Moon.

“Never met a guy that could stop me,” Sonic complimented.

“Now can we leave?” Kookie asked. He clicked the ‘Fast Forward’ button again.

“Uh, where are we now?” Hop asked. He had been quiet for most of trip.

“Yeah!” Sonic asked.

“Ah man, you still here?” Kookie complained.

“Hold on to this vine. Let’s find out where we are!” Sonic said, then blasted off with everyone holding the vine. They blasted through the forest. And at the edge of the forest was…the Keep!

“We’re home!” Hop cried.

“Yay!” The other Koopalings chorused.

“Well, bye now,” Sailor Moon and Sonic said as they faded out of sight.

“C’mon!” Cootie-Pie said. “We can just make it home in time to see the end of Sailor Moon!” No one moved.

“I think I’ve found out TV can be dangerous. I have to…uh…study this…amazing happening!” Kookie cried, looking for an excuse. He ran inside and went up to his room and locked his door.

All the other Koopalings made up excuses  to miss Sailor Moon.

“Maybe Kookie is right,” Cootie-Pie said, walking up to her room. “Maybe TV can be dangerous.”
