CURLY GIRLY WAS an elephant who had a curly trunk. Her trunk was as curly as spiral spaghetti. When she uncurled her trunk and blew out of it, she had the ability to make anything curly. 
Curly Girly lived in Iowa. She was, in fact, the only elephant in Davenport. Her best friend was a shiny-silver, one-eyed mouse named Little Squeak who had very straight whiskers. Little Squeak loved candy. He could run a thousand miles in an hour.
One day, Curly Girly and Little Squeak were doing their favorite thing: dressing up like girls, having a whole curly meal (curly turkey, curly cake, curly candy), watching a movie, and then waiting for the symbol to appear in the sky that told them it was time to fight crimes. The symbol was a curly-que and a piece of candy, and when they looked out of the window, there it was.
"I see the symbol! There must be a crime for you and me to fight. Let's go to where the light is flashing and see what's going on," Curly Girly said excitedly.
"Wait! I need to pack my candy and call my family," Little Squeak replied.
"I'll get my trunk ready." Curly Girly started flexing and straightening her trunk. When Little Squeak was ready to go, Curly Girly said, "Up, up, and candy away!" Her trunk started to spin, and Little Squeak jumped on a long piece of salt-water taffy. They flew off into the night.
Soon, they got to downtown Davenport.
They saw their nemesis, Catasaurus, in the town square. Catasaurus was black and orange with colorful spikes going all the way down his back. He was surrounded by people, but no one said a word. The square was as silent as a cloud.
Catasaurus said, "Ha, ha, ha! I used to speak like a toothless baby cow. Moo-goo-goo, that's all I could say. So I've stolen everyone's thoughts and metaphors. Now I speak like Albert Einstein. I'm as clever as a fox." He had a long tube coming out of his mouth to suck up the metaphors.
 "Not so fast," Curly Girly said. "You haven't got our metaphors yet. We're quicker than quicksand."
"Drat!" Catasaurus exclaimed. "I know you guys are really as dumb as rock shaped like a log." He turned his tube on them and . . .

. . .began to suck the metaphors out of them but was quickly stopped by a little girl. Her name was Curly Candy Sue and she was dressed like Supergirl. She knew the only way to stop Catasaurus was to destroy his tube. Sue quickly ran into the tube, bending it like a straw. The air passage was blocked. Catasaurus could no longer suck metaphors out of people. He knew he was defeated so he decided to surrender to Curly Girly and Little Squeak. Girly and Squeak were so thankful to Sue that they made her a member of their fighting squad. The three now sit on a boat and wait for their crime symbols to appear in the sky.

. . . with a single exhale of her breath, Curly Girly unwound her trunk in the direction of Catasaurus' mouth where his long metaphor-sucking tube resided. It was as quick as a noise-making birthday party favor. The straw snapped into a que curlier than a twisty straw. "Try to get our metaphors now!" Little Squeak explained, with his whiskers held out proudly, straighter than raw spaghetti. "Moo-goo-goo!" Catasaurus cried as the metaphors danced away back to their owners like dizzy ballerinas in the sky. Just another day's work, fighting to keep the metaphors flowing.

Curly Girly wasted no time. She stepped on Catasaurus and put an end once and for all to his evil schemes. Unfortunately, Little Squeak was on the ground at that time and got trampled as well. Curly Girly cried for days and days and went on a candy binge to remember her friend. Curly Girly then got a toothache and got all her molars removed due to cavities.

...began to steal their metaphors. First, he began to suck up Little Squeak thoughts. Second by second, Little  Squeak was losing her thoughts and metaphors. "You'll never get me, I'm as .. . . as . . .as. Oh, no!" Little Squeak screamed. Curly Girly began to think until finally "Ah-ha!" she exclaimed. "Over here, you metaphor stealing catastrophe!" Catasaurus turned his tube on Curly Girly before he could steal her thoughts and metaphors. Curly Girly blew and blew and blew until Catasaurus was a curly mess. In order for him to be uncurled, Curly Girly demanded that he give all the townspeople cheered for Curly Girly. Little Squeak looked up at Curly Girly and said "you're as brave as a lion" and up, up, and away they went.

Curly Girly and her sidekick dashed out of the way of the oncoming tube. Catasaurus was now angling up to do it again, right this time. The two crime fighters had to think fast. Curly Girly used her enormous and strong trunk to grab the metaphor sucker out of the hands of Catasaurus. She then reversed it on him, freeing everyone's metaphors back to their own minds, and leaving Catasaurus in a dazed state. All's well in Davenport tonight thanks to these crime fighters. After this ordeal, the two went home to finish where they left off, eating candy!

... and tried to steal their thoughts and metaphors. Both Curly Girly and Little Squeak wept out of harm's way. Catasaurus charged at Curly Girly giving Little Squeak the opportunity and chose to run and trip Catasaurus from behind. Unbeknownst to Little Squeak that when he tripped, Catasaurus was standing next to a manhole and fell to his death. The heros were upset and when they heard about their actions resigned as super heros and decided to even things out by hanging themselves.

...started shooting candies shaped like math problems.  Rigid Hershey bars took the shape of equal signs and licorice wands melted into square root symbols.  Curly girl and Little Squeak sought refuge in the alley.  Catasaurus roared with laughter and exclaimed, "COWARDS!"  Curly girl had an idea.  Curly Girl and Little Squeak looked at each other and understood.  Little Squeak jumped out from behind the wall and shouted, "Ha! Ha! Let's see you battle this!"  He whistled and an army of mice scrambled to their aid and charged Catasaurus.  All the civilians fled as the mice rushed toward Catasaurus.  Fear engulfed Catasuarus as the mice crawled up his legs.

They soon saw a zebra trying to destroy the world by making it black and white.  Little Squeak jumped down and then Curly Girly threatened to make the zebra into curly candy.  The zebra said that he wasn't worried because he doubted that she could do that.  The zebra already accomplished making about two buildings white and black.  Curly Girly pointed her finger at him and said "Wa-Zamm."  Then all of a sudden the zebra became a white and black Laffy Taffy.

Curly Girly used her power to make the tube curl up and zap Catasuarus.  This did the reverse effect and caused him to lose all of his stolen thoughts and metaphors.  Each thought and metaphor was returned to their rightful owner.  Everyone, except Catasaurus.  He lost every thought he ever had and now instead of "Moo-goo-goo" something like "mmmg" comes out, but he can't remember.  Curly Girly and Little Squeak were proud of their battle won, so they went back home and watched another movie.

    Sucked out their metaphors one by one.  Curly Girl was no longer quicker than quicksand or fast as lightning.  Little Squeak was slow as a slug.
    "Oh no!  Our metaphors!  Our thoughts!  They all are gone!" shouted both the girls.
    "Ha ha!  I told you I would take them.  I am sharp as a tack and you can never get your metaphors back!" exclaimed Catasaurus as he howled with laughter over his evil misdeeds.
    Just as Catasaurus was rolling and the girls were crying, in the sky more heroes would arrive.  Landing on the ground before them was a strong and big elephant with a curly trunk!  Next to her a small, black mouse who was missing an ear.
    "We are Curly Woman and Tiny Boom and are here to save this town's metaphors," they announced with strong passion.  Out of their pockets they pulled a big vacuum.  With the vacuum they smushed and smashed Catasaurus to the ground and sucked up all the metaphors he stole.
    "Now you won't steal from Davenport and to you girls, here are your thoughts.  Here are your metaphors."
    "Oh thank you.  Thank you.  Candy is sweet to my tastebuds, but metaphors are so much sweeter.  I couldn't live my life without them."  Little Squeak jumped around.
    "Candy?!  You love candy too?" Tiny Boom asked.
    "Yes!  Yes!  I eat it every day!"
    "Well then let's bring this evil doer to the jailhouse and go out for candy."  Curly Woman planned.  And that is what they did.  All was well.  All was safe.  Candy and metaphors were sweet to taste.

Blasted them with metaphors and angry thoughts.  Everything looks all bad for Curly Girly and Little Squeak.  Catasaurus laughs loudly in a sinister tone.  As Catasaurus turns away from them they rise up with a gold aura surround their bodies.  Curly Girly speaks, "that blast was nothing!  I am unharmed, rather I am powerful.  I absorbed the blast and shot it back to the people.  You will not get away with what you did."  Little Squeak runs around Catasaurus and the wind turns into a tornado.  The wind brought Catasaurus up and dropped him.  Curly Girly cuffs him and they all live in peace.

Curly Girly began to suck the tube with her trunk.  She sucked it so hard that the tube became curly.  Catasaurus was so mad that he ran away dropping the tube.  Curly Girly and Little Squeak picked up the tube and gave everyone back their metaphors.  Once they were finished, they went back to watching their movie and eating curly candy.

Curly Girly and Little Squeak were caught in the middle of a huge cloud of cotton candy that was towering over the city. Curly Girly and Little Squeak reached an agreement that the best way to get rid of the cotton candy is to have everyone eat it.  They spread the word and soon everyone began eating the giant cotton candy.  Within a couple minutes the cotton candy was gone.  Curly Girly and Little Squeak finished their job downtown and then went home to go to bed.

... tried to steal their thoughts and metaphors.  However, thanks to Curly Girly's curly trunk, it sucked in the rays, uncoiled making the waves go back to Catasaurus causing him to speak worse than a toothless baby cow.  The police came and locked him up and they lived happily ever after until it was time for Curly Girly and Little Squeak to fight again.

Little Squeak and Curly Girly jumped out of the way just barely hitting Little Squeak.  Curly Girly rolled onto her back and sprang into action.  "You really messed up now Catasaurus," stated Curly Girly.  "Oh I'm shaking in my furry boots," said Catasaurus.  Little Squeak ran up behind Catasaurus and karate chopped him over the head with a Laffy Taffy.  As Catasaurus fell to his defense, Curly Girly extended her long trunk and wrapped it around Catasaurus' body until the police came.  Little Squeak was able to grab the tube and give back everyone's metaphors.  And the story ends with Little Squeak and Curly Girly saving the day.

Started to suck the thoughts and metaphors out of Little Squeak.  Curly Girly wasn't going to stand for this so she straightened out her trunk and blew it at the tube that Catasaurus was using.  The tube started to curl until it was curled into a little knot and then it burst into candy and everyone got their thoughts and metaphors back.  The whole cheered as Curly Girly locked up Catasaurus.  Then Little Squeak and Curly Girly flew back where they ate curly candy and watched a movie before going to bed.

...and saw a horse and a pig trying to rob the candy store.  Curly girly and Little Squeak ran up to the pig and the horse without hesitation.  Little Squeak threw a million little gum balls on the floor and made the horse fall.  Curly Girly straightened her trunk and blew the little pig straight through the door.  Curly Girly and Little Squeak yelled, "YAY!! We saved the day."  They walked back home and went to sleep.  The end.

Little Squeak and Curly Girly got ready.  Right when Catasaurus was about to turn the tube on to suck up all their metaphors, they jumped into action.  Curly Girly flexed and straightened her trunk at the tube and it turned curly, pointing back in Catasaurus' face.  He tried to turn it off, but it was too late.  All the stolen metaphors got sucked back out.  As Catasaurus vomited metaphors, Little Squeak got everybody to jump around and catch their metaphors.  When everyone got their metaphors back, they all started talking at once, telling stories and shouting and singing.  Catasaurus, stripped of his stolen abilities, couldn't even speak like a toothless baby cow.  He could only drool.  Then Little Squeak stuffed salt-water taffy in his mouth and Catasaurus couldn't talk ever again.  Iowa went back to normal and it rocked.  The end.
