Diary of a Super Spy 6: Daylight Robbery! (Diary of a Sixth Grade Super Spy)

“Which friend?” I whisper back.
“Me!”
“Oh yeah… and we’re here to help our friend escape,” I say. “Who are you?”
“My name is Ant-hony.”
“Anthony?”
“No. Ant-hony.”
“You mean Anthony.”
“No. Ant-hony.”
“Oh right. Anthony.”
“No! Ant-hony!”
“Sure, sure. I get it, Anthony. Nothing to worry about.”
“No! My name is not Anthony! It is Ant-hony!”
“Alright Anthony. Whatever you say.”
“No!” he seems quite upset. “You have made me angry and now it is time for you to pay!”
“Whatever,” I shrug. “Just untie Harley and give us all the money, and then we will leave.”
Ant-hony looks totally angry now.
I don’t think he is going to give all the money back. In fact, I think he wants to fight me. Climbing down off Harley’s shoulder, I go to talk with Ant-hony some more.
But he throws a punch at me!
I see it coming and totally jump out of the way.
Then I throw a punch back, but he dodges it!
Wow.
This guy is super fast!
Time to run away, eh… I mean retreat, and then come up with another plan!
But just as I am about to run away, eh, I mean retreat, he picks up an old mining nail.
“Stop!” he yells, but I don’t listen and keep running.
Then he throws the nail at me!
Oh no!
I dodge the nail but I run straight back into Ant-hony.
Oh man.
This isn’t good…
Chapter 7
Harley doesn’t look very happy that we have been tied up and put on his shoulder.
“Thanks for saving me guys,” he says.
“Um… that didn’t quite go to plan,” Mia says.
“At least I didn’t get squashed by that antique nail. Get it? Ant-ique nail? Ha ha! My jokes are so funny,” I laugh.
I don’t think Harley finds it funny.
“Ant-hony!” Mia calls out to the ants below us. “Why are you doing this? Why have you stolen all the money in town?”
“Because we want to be rich!” Ant-hony yells back.
“But you don’t have any ant shops to spend it at,” I groan. “Why would ants need money?”
“We want to take over the world, little human,” Ant-hony laughs. “But first, we need to buy lots of fighting equipment because we must destroy the Secret Spy Agency!”
“The Secret Spy Agency?” Harley says to me. “That’s where your Dad works!”
“Why do you even want to destroy them? They are the good guys,” I say.
“Every time we try to take over the world, we are stopped by the Secret Spy Agency and sent back to the Himalayas. It takes us years and years to walk all the way back here. But luckily, a super spy came to visit the Yeti and we all hid in his suitcase until he arrived here. This is our chance to take over the world!”
“That must have been my Dad!” I yell.
“Quiet, little human!” Ant-hony shouts. “You are making me mad!”
“What are you going to do with us?” I ask.
“We are going to feed you to our most dangerous ant - the ant-eater! And he is quite hungry!”
Uh-oh.
I don’t think this guy is friendly.
Chapter 8
“How are we going to get out of this Charlie?” Mia is worried. “We have to escape and then stop them from taking over the world!”
“Um... We could ask nicely?” I suggest.
“I don’t think that will work.”
“I’ve got it! I’ve remembered what Dad said to me! Dad told me that everything in the Himalayas is scared of the Himalayan mountain dog, and we have one - Jungle Juice!”
“That’s a fantastic idea Charlie, expect that we are not in the Himalayas,” Harley rolls his eyes.
“No, but these are Himalayan Mountain Ants!”
I whistle for Jungle Juice to come and he charges through the mine!
And Jungle Juice looks angry!
When all the ants see Jungle Juice coming, they all run away!
“Go Jungle Juice!” I yell.
“Tell me it ANT so! It is a Himalayan mountain dog!” Ant-hony yells. “He’s the scariest creature in all of the Himalayas!”
“Ahhhh!” all the ants yell together.
They are totally scared of Jungle Juice. It doesn’t take long for Jungle Juice to capture all the ants!
“Good job, Jungle Juice!”
But I can’t see Ant-hony, their leader.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Ant-hony trying to escape through an exit in the mine.
“Jungle Juice!” I yell to my dog. “Untie me!”
Quickly, my pet monster dog comes to my rescue and unties me.
“Hey, Mr. Anty Panty!” I yell.
I don’t know how I am going to stop him.
He is so much tougher than me.
“My name is not Mr. Anty Panty,” Ant-hony stops to yell back at me. “It is Ant-hony!”
As soon as he turns around, I remember what Dad said earlier today! I have to punch him in the antenna!
“It’s time to stop these antics!”
But he grabs me, and throws me against the wall!
Ouch!
This ant is tough!
I try to punch him in the antenna but again, he dodges my punch and pushes me away!
“Leave me alone, little human! I am trying to escape!” he yells.
“No can do, Mr. Honey.”
“Mr. Honey? Why would you call me that? I’m an ant - not a bee.”
“Isn’t your name Ant Honey? That would make you Mr. Honey,” I explain.
“No!” he is really angry. “My name is Ant-hony. Not Ant Honey!”
He throws a punch at me and –
Whack!
The punch hits me hard and I am thrown against the wall again!
This guy is super tough!
I run at him but –
Slam!
This time, he kicks me away!
I charge at him again but –
Crash!
He flips me over and throws me down on the ground.
He is strong!
I need a new tactic!
I know! I will distract him and then punch his antenna!
“Hey, Ant-face, want to hear my best ant joke?”
“No! I’m trying to escape! I have no time for jokes!”
“What color socks do bears wear?”
“I don’t know.”
“They don’t wear socks, they have ‘bear’ feet!”
“What? That joke isn’t even about ants?” Ant-hony says, looking confused.
“No, but the joke is on you!”
As Ant-hony is distracted by my awesome joke, I swing a massive punch onto his antenna and -
Crunch!
I hit him right on the antenna and he falls down!!
Woo-hoo!
We have defeated the Himalayan Mountain Ants!
Quickly, I tie him up and Jungle Juice keeps an eye on all the other ants.
“Nice job,” Mia says. “But that was still a really bad joke.”
Oh man. Even when I save the world, Mia still doesn’t find my jokes funny.
“Hey Harley,” I shout.
“What?! I can’t hear you?!” Harley says.
“Wait…” Looking at my watch, I realize it is exactly two hours since we used the Shrinking Zapper Gun.
“Mia, get ready for a growth spurt…” I call out.
Suddenly, we start to grow again!
Awesome.
We are back to normal size.
“Harley-”
But we are interrupted as my Dad bursts into the mine!
“Charlie!” Dad shouts. “Don’t worry! We have figured the robbery out. It was the evil Himalayan Mountain Ants! Th
ey stole all the money! They must have gotten here somehow.”
“Yes, Dad, I-,” I say.
“Oh look,” Dad interrupts me. “They have all been captured by Jungle Juice, your monster dog. Good job, Jungle Juice.”
“Yes Dad. I know-”
“You shouldn’t be down here, Charlie. You shouldn’t play in old abandoned mines. Very dangerous things can happen down here.”
“But-”
“No excuses, Charlie. I want you to stay safe. Just be thankful that Jungle Juice came to capture these ants or there could have been all sorts of trouble.”
“Yes Dad,” I smile.
All in a day’s work for a super spy, I guess.
