Bubby II: Freak Attack

By B. P. Draper

Book 2 of 5 in the Bubby Anthology.

Bubby, having defeated the mighty force of Franco Micromind, settles back to enjoy to rewards of being a superhero. While guest starring on the latest hit talk show, Dat alerts him that the world once again needs to be rescued by him. Will Bubby save the world, or take some time out for his fans and sign autographs?

Review
I should explain that episode two of the Bubby series should not be read before episode one. As all of these episodes are short stories, the author takes no time to re-introduce the characters, which can result in the casual reader being a tad confused if they are read out of order. I was disappointed by the author's failure to develop the character of Bubby further in this episode. However, he does bring to the forefront several of episode one's secondary characters, which provides the groundwork for future episodes, while injecting the story with additional humor. While not my favorite of the five, Bubby II is a worthwhile lead-in to the remaining episodes. --Braden Erp

B. P. Draper

Once a pathetic and lonely nerd, B. P. Draper was in high school in 1995, when he first wrote Bubby I. Since that time he has become increasingly nerdy, though somewhat less socially awkward. He is now a happily married adult and proud father of three children. In his spare time he watches Star Wars and Tron and makes up funny bedtime stories for his children (some of which will likely be published one day soon).

About the Author

BUBBY II

Freak Attack

Chapter One

Dat, can I please quit running laps around the room now? I’m so tired. Come on, Dat. Pretty please?

No. You have to lose that weight that you’ve been putting on lately. Now keep going, Dat said firmly.

But this is such a big room, and I’ve already been around it about 284.3572 times. When you round it off, of course."

Oh, fine. Run until you reach 300 laps and then I suppose I’ll let you watch that favorite show of yours.

The Amela Panderson Show?!

Yes.

Woo-hoo! Bubby interrupted, jumping up and down excitedly.

"Oh, they’ll give a talk show to anyone these days. Come to think of it, I could get one with the dirt I have on you. You’re filthy! Anyway, after you watch it, you have to do your 500 stomach crunches."

That’ll be a breeze. Besides, I’ve already figured out a new, guaranteed way to lose weight. I’ve been doing this for a while now. You see, I eat as much as I can at one meal. Then, after I’m done, I just go over and hurl into the nearest john. I wouldn't be too skeptical either if I were you; it really works. Don't you judge me! I’d recommend it for yourself, but you’re just a computer. As an inanimate object you don’t even have to eat.

I am too animate, argued Dat.

You just keep telling yourself that, girl.

This got Dat riled up quick, You wanna take this outside?

Hey, hey. Dat, cool down. I was just joking with you.

I’m cool, I’m cool. Anyway, back to that little point about me not having to eat. Might I ask about you? You don’t really need to eat either, said Dat. After all, you are mostly dead. But in regards to this so-called diet of yours, there is the issue of what you are doing to yourself. It is bad for your body, and it goes by the name of Bulimia. You really have to get treatment for this, Bubby.

"If I’m already mostly dead, then how in the immortal name of the Macarena dance is
