Superstorm and Bluebelle lived on hill that looked out over the city. Sometimes at night they liked to take their telescope to the top of the hill and look at the moon.

One night, they saw something very surprising on the moon.

“Is that a ‘C’?” said Superstorm. “It looks like there’s a ‘C’ on the moon!”

Superstorm and Bluebelle took turns squinting through the telescope to get a closer look. Sure enough, there was a C on the moon. And beside it was an H, and an E, and another E, followed by a Z and finally an O.

“Why does it say CHEEZO on the moon?” wondered Superstorm.

“We should talk to Reinhold Beaver about this,” said Bluebelle (using her pyschic powers, since she hadn’t quite learned to talk yet.)

And so they did.

“Reinhold Beaver,” said Superstorm, “It says CHEEZO on the moon!”

Reinhold Beaver pondered for a few moments, then said, “There can be only one explanation. The only space program in the world that has ever reached the moon is ours. Now that Greedy King Cheezo controls NASA, he must be using it to build a giant billboard on the moon.”

“You mean so that everyone on earth would have to look at his billboard?” asked Superstorm. “He can’t turn the moon into an advertisement!”

“The moon belongs to everyone, and to no one,” said Reinhold Beaver. “But as long as Greedy King Cheezo is the king, he can do a lot of things he shouldn’t do. That is, until someone stops him.”

Superstorm said, “I wish WE could stop him, but we’re just a couple of kids!”

Malcolm Rex had been listening to the conversation. “I could take care of that billboard,” said Malcolm, “if only there was a way for me to get to the moon.”

A thought suddenly appeared in Superstorm’s head. It had been placed there by Bluebelle. He said, “Maybe we could fly you to the moon on my magic scooter?”

First thing the next morning, Superstorm and Bluebelle went up to the attic and got three spacesuits. The one for Malcolm Rex was a little bit small, but he managed to squeeze into it. “I think we’re ready,” said the Tyranosaur. Superstorm told his parents that they were flying to the moon on his scooter with Malcolm Rex.

“Ok, but make sure it’s a quick trip,” said Mama. “Breakfast is almost ready!”

Superstorm, Bluebelle, and Malcolm Rex checked their suits to make sure there weren’t any leaks, then they scooted to the top of the hill. They would have to go very, very fast in order to fly into outer space. Superstorm got them started rolling down the hill. They went faster and faster, and he pushed with all his might, but he wasn’t sure it would be enough.

Then Malcolm Rex started pushing. The burst of power from his giant T-Rex legs launched the magic scooter into the air!

The moon became larger and more beautiful the closer they got. More beautiful, except for the big, dirty construction site for Greedy King Cheezo’s sign. There were huge gold block letters spelling “CHEEZO INDUSTRIES” laying on the ground, ready to put up. Superstorm brought the scooter in for a landing into a crater. He, his sister, and their dinosaur friend peeked over the edge of the crater to see what was happening at the site.

Greedy King Cheezo, in his gold-plated space suit, stood next his daughter Bianca Cheezo and her husband Jared Cashner. Bianca and Jared’s space suits fit them remarkably well.

“What are we going to do, Malcolm Rex?” whispered Superstorm into his communicator.

“You don’t have to whisper, Superstorm,” said Malcolm Rex. “The moon doesn’t have an atmosphere, so it’s perfectly silent. They can’t hear us. As a matter of fact, the silence is our most important advantage.”

Superstorm said, “Bluebelle, can you use your psychic powers to listen in on their conversation?”

Indeed she could. In fact, her psychic powers were so strong that all three of them could listen in.

“This sign is the greatest sign that has ever been built,” said Greedy King Cheezo. “It is my shiniest, best, most expensive, bigliest creation of all time!”

“Father,” said Bianca Cheezo proudly, everyone on Earth will be able to see our sign. And when the sun shines just right, they’ll be blinded by the gold!”

Jared Cashner didn’t say anything.

Back in the crater, Superstorm and Bluebelle were getting angrier as they listened. “They’re going to ruin the moon for everyone on earth!” said Superstorm. “Just so they can have the biggest advertisement in the solar system.”

“It won’t be the biggest in the solar system once I get through with it,” said Malcolm Rex. “But destroying the sign won’t be enough. We have to scare them so badly that they never, ever come back to the moon.” And then he explained his plan.

“Do you think you can help with that?”

“Yes we can!” replied Superstorm and Bluebelle.

It’s very easy to sneak up on someone on the moon, even for a large dinosaur. Malcolm Rex tiptoed from the edge of the crater toward the construction site. He didn’t make a sound. The only thing Superstorm and Bluebelle could hear was the sound of their own breathing. As long as Greedy King Cheezo, Bianca Cheezo and Jared Kashner didn’t turn around, Malcolm Rex would be able to sneak right up behind them.

To make sure the Cheezos didn’t turn around, Superstorm and Bluebelle created a diversion. Using her telekinetic powers, Bluebelle lifted up the letters in CHEEZO INDUSTRIES one by one and began rearranging them.

Bianca Cheezo was the first one to notice the new arrangement. “Father, why does our sign say ‘COZENED HIRSUTIES’ all of a sudden?” The Cheezo family watched as the letters rearranged themselves again and again. “HOUSE SIZED CRETIN??” said Greedy King Cheezo.

“OUTSIZED SCHNEIDER???” said Bianca Cheezo.

Finally, Bluebelle found the arrangement she liked. “NUDE CHEERIO ZITS????” yelled Greedy King Cheezo, enraged.

By this time, Malcolm Rex was very close to Greedy King Cheezo, Bianca Cheezo, and Jared Cashner. He leaned down so that his head was inches away from them, and then he roared his biggest roar.

The Cheezos couldn’t hear it, but the roar was so powerful could feel the ground rumbling beneath their space boots. Greedy King Cheezo turned around and found himself staring directly at Malcolm Rex’s terrifying footlong fangs. At the sight of this, Greedy King Cheezo fainted.

Jared Cashner turned around and screamed, “ALIEN DINOSAUR MONSTER!!! RUN!!!!” It was the first time anyone had every heard him say anything.

Several of the construction workers grabbed Greedy King Cheezo and dragged him to his gold plated, gas guzzling spaceship. Bianca Cheezo was close behind. By the time they’d gotten him into the ship, Greedy King Cheezo had woken up. “Sorry Jared Cashner,” he said, “no more room,” and he shut the door behind him. The spaceship flew off, never to to return to the alien-dinosaur-monster infested moon. Jared Cashner managed to get the last seat on the construction workers’ spaceship before they too lifted off.

Superstorm and Bluebelle flew over to Malcolm Rex and they all high fived. “Time for some crushing,” said Malcolm, and he began stomping and tearing apart the sign. Between his huge dino legs, Superstorm’s magic scooter, and Bluebelle’s powerful mind, soon every last piece of the construction site had been thrown off the moon and was flying out into space.

Superstorm and Bluebelle took a few minutes to play on the moon now that their work was done. They jumped and did flips and they even took a few swings with the golf clubs Greedy King Cheezo had left behind.

Malcolm Rex looked at his watch and said, “Superstorm and Bluebelle, it’s time to go back home!”

They all hopped on the scooter, held on very tight, and cruised back to earth.
