“We know we’ve got to bore them,” said Richard. “But that’s all we know.”

It was later that night, and Richard and Aric were still trying to figure out how to trap the Dwilbs. Richard was lying in bed. The only light in the room came from Aric, who gave off a faint pink glow in the dark.

“Bore them … bore them,” mused Aric.

Richard smiled. “Speaking of boring, did you see my mom when I was talking like The Sandman? She practically fell asleep!”

“Yes,” said Aric. “Your imitation of Mr. Felshin was not bad.”

Suddenly Richard sat up in bed. “That’s it!” he exclaimed. “I mean, he’s it! Mr. Felshin!”

“Mr. Felshin?”

“Our secret weapon! The most boring talker on the planet! If we can get him to talk to the Dwilbs—”

“By the Great Gazook!” said Aric. “You are right!” He was so excited that he glowed bright pink, like a neon sign. “That man can bore anyone into a deep, deathlike coma. His power is fearsome! The Dwilbs will not know what hit them!”

“So we’ve got to get him to the plant on Thursday,” said Richard. “Because the Dwilbs will be there, right?”

“We will make sure of it,” said Aric.

“How?” asked Richard.

“A mere detail,” snapped Aric. “The important thing is to get Mr. Felshin to speak to them.” He sat down in Richard’s baseball glove.

“He must deliver a speech,” said Aric. “A long, long speech. One that will give the Dwilbs a sudden, severe case of boredomitis. Once they are bored stiff,” he went on, “the Brigade can ship them back to Dwilb. And Earth will be saved.”

“Sounds great,” said Richard. All at once he felt really tired. It was getting very late. “Can we figure the rest of this out tomorrow?” he asked sleepily.

“It has already been figured out,” boomed Aric. “By a certain Ganoobian warrior of truly superior intelligence. Once again he has faced terrible odds on his mission. A ridiculous budget. Faulty communications. A ruthless enemy force. And once again he has overcome them—”

Aric was interrupted by a loud snort. Richard was sound asleep.
