that basement I know you’ll enjoy it There’s fishing and hiking And maybe you and Daniel could throw a Frisbee or something Fine Malcolm said under his breath Maybe he could turn the Frisbee into a flying saucer and give his ghost dog Spooky a ride Just be packed and ready Dad went on We’re leaving as soon as school is out tomorrow Malcolm scarfed down his food wanting to get down to his lab Grandma Eunice nudged him under the table Don’t forget the other fun part of camping she whispered Malcolm looked at her questioningly What he whispered back Ghost stories
A New Invention I don't get it Dandy said slurring his words through a wad of purple bubble gum Shouldn’t you be packing Dandy had come over right after dinner to get a checklist from Malcolm on what they should take He flipped on Malcolm’s Ecto-Handheld-Automatic Heat-Sensitive-Laser-Enhanced Specter Detector Yip Yip
Hey Spooky Dandy said to Malcolm’s ghostly dog who had followed them home from a ghost-hunting adventure the past summer Dad wants me to be more active He wants us to throw a Frisbee Dandy’s eyes became teeny slits He clearly didn’t understand We’re going to throw a Frisbee Wrong Malcolm said We’re going to invent something that’ll throw it for us Dandy nodded and smacked his gum It sounded like someone jogging through mud Malcolm dug into his box of doodads It was mostly old appliances utensils and his mom’s hand vac He’d been saving them to make a device to capture ghosts This should do it he said pulling up an old toaster
Won’t the Frisbee melt in there Dandy asked No Dandy I’ve already taken out the heating coils Why can’t Dandy imagine things properly Malcolm scratched his head trying to figure out how to get the toaster to pop up without electricity Dandy stopped chewing Uh Malcolm I don’t think a Frisbee will fit in there Malcolm sighed We don’t have to use a real Frisbee just something Frisbee like Let me think A plate Dandy suggested Nope That’d be too big A saucer Malcolm looked up Wouldn’t that break on impact
