Commander Triumph, muscular and imposing with his red and black cape, kneels beside the hatch, tapping a coded sequence into a concealed panel.
Captain Boo, his sidekick in an American flag cape and blue suit, peers over his shoulder, adjusting his black eye mask.
"Ready for liftoff, Boo. Melvin Meanie’s up to no good again. The world’s water is at stake!"
"And we’re bringing Trooper and Lenny this time. If Melvin thinks he can outwit us, he’s in for a soggy surprise."
Melvin Meanie, tall and skinny with a fat head and a mustache, cackles at his control panel, fingers dancing over buttons.
"Soon, Earth will be dry as a bone! My Meanie Weanies, prepare to activate the Water Vacuum!"
"Hang on, everyone! Next stop: lunar lunacy."
"Don’t forget the emergency snacks. If we get thirsty, at least we’ve got peanut butter."
"Quick, Triumph, sabotage the vacuum! I’ll handle the Weanies—come on, Trooper, fetch!"
"Lenny, help me jam the intake with your tennis ball stash!"
"You meddling heroes! My beautiful vacuum—ruined!"
"If you want water, Melvin, maybe try sharing instead of vacuuming. Earth’s rivers are staying put!"
"Besides, lunar peanut butter is a terrible currency."
"Mission accomplished. The rivers and lakes are safe, and we’ve made the moon a little wetter."
"Now, who wants to go for a swim? Trooper, Lenny—you earned it."
