Awful Alvin, Greta, and Lampy floated into the room on the floating platform.

“It’s Awful Alvin and Greta Von Gruesome!” shouted Mrs. Celery as she wiped the eggs from her eyes. “Run children! Run!”

The children just stood and stared at her. “Um, I mean, line up and file out in an orderly fashion, please,” she clarified. “But do it quickly!” And the children did just that. They were very good little students.

“HA HA HA HA HA!” laughed Awful Alvin, who was neither good nor little. “Finally, the forbidden treasures of the Bumblyburg Museum shall be mine! All mine! All miney-meanie-miney-mo-mine!”

“What do you mean ‘all yours’?” said Greta. “I get my share, too!”

“Of course, of course,” said Awful Alvin as he grabbed the royal headdress of Pharaoh Potatophep and placed it on his own head. “Look at me! I’m a Pharaoh! Pharaoh Alvin!” he gloated as he placed another headdress on Lampy. “Look at us! Two Pharaohs out on the town! Lookin’ sharp! Check us out, the coolest Pharaohs you ever will meet! Oh yeah!” Awful Alvin grabbed Lampy and strutted around the museum floor.

Using some velvet rope from one of the exhibits, Greta and Alvin tied up Bob, Vicki, and Junior.

“You’ll never get away with this! Larryboy will stop you!” Vicki said as she glared at the menacing duo.

“Hey, Lampy!” said Alvin. “I’ve got an idea! Let’s give ourselves a big Pharaoh cheer!” He set Lampy down and began waving his arms wildly like a cheerleader. “GIMME AN ‘F’ … ‘F!’ GIMME AN ‘A’ … ‘A!’ GIMME AN ‘R’ … ‘R!’ GIMME AN ‘O’ … ‘O!’ GIMME A ‘W’ … ‘W!’ WHAT DOES IT SPELL?” he called out.

But no one said anything.

“Lampy, what does is spell?”

Lampy didn’t say anything.

“It spells FAROW!” said Awful Alvin. “Gooo Farows!”

“That’s not how you spell Pharaoh!” said Vicki.

“You’re just jealous that you don’t get to be in our Farow Club!” said Alvin as he looked to Lampy for agreement. “Oh, Lampy, doesn’t this villainy just make you feel like …”

Greta whirled around, cutting Alvin off, “One more dance step and I’ll serve you on toast with a side of bacon!”

“Now this is what I call news!” said Bob, as he tried to wiggle free from the ropes that kept him bound.

“If I could get free, I could snap a front page photo of the villains!” Vicki added.

Greta hopped over to the other side of the museum and used her power gloves to blast through the protective glass surrounding Queen Loopy Goop the Fourth’s royal crown. She placed the crown on her head. “All shall bow! Bow before your queen!” she said, addressing her imaginary subjects. She put on the queen’s robes, grabbed the queen’s royal scepter, and sat in the queen’s royal throne. “Now bring the queen some honey-roasted peanuts! And somebody scratch my back in that spot I can never reach! Your queen commands it!”

Before long, all three of them were dressed from top to bottom in the most expensive royal clothing in all history.
