There is much that you can find in an old coffee shop in the heart of Paris, but what was happening there was stranger than anything old Gus the garbage man had ever experienced in his entire life. At the table in front of the counter that Gus was standing behind the counter was a little boy who looked to be about the age of four and he was talking to a jelly bean and the jelly bean was talking back, but you see this was no ordinary boy and jelly bean, this was Hugh Man and Benny the jelly bean, the greatest super hero to team to ever move to Europe (Spider-Man and Super-Man always have preferred America over Europe). But of course our beloved old Gus didn’t know that so he sat there and watched the little boy and the jelly bean talk even though he had no idea what the heck they were talking about because of course they were talking in French. Though you might think that Gus the Garbage Man would be able to speak French because he worked at a coffee shop in France. The truth is that Gus was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania and was a garbage man there for 15 years. He decided to move to Europe because there is so much more trash there but, everyone else had the exact same idea as Gus so while some of the lucky garbage men got jobs sweeping the streets of France for trash while poor Gus had to find a job elsewhere and had gotten offered a job and he had taken and loved his new job until he figured out that taking the night shift in an all night coffee shop brings in some weird customers and he was experiencing the brunt of that now as the jelly bean and the four year old continued to talk. “Now Benny you know that we need to find him, if we don’t he’ll take over the world.”
“I know but I’m really tired and we don’t even know where the heck old George is.”
“Did you just say George?” Gus said striding right up to the table.
“Yeah maybe. Why?”
“Oh, just because it’s the first word I’ve heard in a month that sounds anything near English, and did you just speak English?”
“Yup, we go all over Europe,” Hugh Man said getting bored of just sitting there. “We have to speak a lot of languages, any super hero has to.”
“Wow, you guys are super heroes? That’s so cool!”
“Yeah you’ve never heard of us? We’re all over the French and Italian news.”
“Exactly, I never watch that stuff because I can’t understand a word they say on those channels.”
“Oh, well okay then we need you to come with us.”
“Why?”
“Because the world depends on it.”
“Why?”
“Because an evil mastermind is trying to take over the world.”
“Why?”
“Gosh, what the Heck is wrong with you!? We need to save the world from George Lopez and your standing here and bumbling like an idiot!”
“Did you say George Lopez? I wanna get his autograph!”
“Okay then let’s go!”
Meanwhile…………
“Muahahahahahaha, they think they can stop me?” The evil George Lopez laughed sitting in his chair in his abandoned warehouse lair and looked through his spy glass that actually spies on people. “That little Hugh Man thinks he can try to stop the great George Lopez. I don’t think so. They don’t even know my plan, I’m going to plant a bomb in the Notre Dame cathedral and when it detonates everyone will be there to see my band of gummy bears perform and the debris will kill everyone in it including the mayor of Paris himself. Then I will rise up to the survivors as they’re savior and take over the world!”
“Hello, this thing works both ways you know.” Said Hugh Man, looking back at George through the spy glass that appeared on the other side. “Now I know your plan, see you at the cathedral Lopez.”
“Thinking that I would forget to turn the spyglass off,” said George talking to himself. “I have already sent my army of gummy bears to the Notre Dame to place the bomb and by the time the time that Hugh Man gets there he will be too late, the bomb explodes after the first song ends.”
“And once again, I’m not gone and I have a car, and see you at the cathedral Lopez.”
“Nooooooooooooooooooo! Curse you Hugh Man!”
Meanwhile at the cathedral…….
Gummy bears swarmed around the ancient cathedral Notre Dame when Hugh Man, Gus and Benny got to the cathedral. “We have to stop the gummy bears before they get to the top of the tower, the concert is about to start! GO!!!!!” The rag-tag team of heroes rushed toward the cathedral and immediately start ripping the gummy bears apart. They were just starting to climb up the tower as the first note of the concert started to echo through the pavilion the sound magnified by the massive size of the cathedral. “Quick get to the top of the tower and get the bomb!” Hugh Man shouted as he kicks a gummy bear off the cathedral and rips the head off of another gummy bear and throws the body off the cathedral as well. Benny the Jelly bean was also doing his best to fight off the gummy bears but they were overwhelming him and finally a larger than average bear barrels at him and falls off the tower along with Benny the Jelly Bean. Gus the Garbage Man was trying to fight a gummy bear with a broken bottle. Gus faulted to the right but he was to slow to try to and block the oncoming attack. The gummy bear lunged at his open side and stabbed him through the ribs, Gus screamed out and his limp body slid off the cathedral and hit the ground with a sickening thwack. Hugh Man was fighting and listening at the same time and the first song was almost over, he could hear the last and he dove toward the bomb at the top of the tower. “Joy….to…..the…..world!”
Boom!
There was nothing but rubble on the ground around the cathedral the ancient building reduced to piles of dust. A hand reaches out of the rubble, Hugh Man crawls out from under a pile of debris. “I will get you George Lopez.”
