Characters: Nick Tooley Mouse, Donney the Clown Spider, Marsey the Alien, and the evil Japanese giant crickets.

Nick Tooley Mouse crossed a golden bridge while taking a walk. Under the golden bridge, he found a big map that lead to treasure!
Nick, Donney the Clown Spider and Marsey the Alien decided to follow the map to the treasure. Nick said, “This map leads to Japan. How can we get there?”
Marsey said, “We could destroy the Earth’s atmosphere, take Mars out its orbit and fly on Mars to Japan!”
Nick responded, “What in the universe are you thinkin’? You’re always full of dumb alien ideas, aren’t you? Aren’t you? AREN’T YOU?!! Now, let’s only have practical ideas that can really happen! My perfect idea is that we go to a mall, buy 3 paper airplanes, fold them up, jump on them and fly to Japan!”
“What?” said Donney. “Neither of your plans would work. I’ve got the best plan ever. We need to spin webs, hang them on the clouds, swing on the webs like George of the Jungle and if you want you can yell, “oye-oye-oye-oye-oye-oye-oye!” as you go! Now that’s a good idea!”
“I wish Mr. Bear was here.” said Nick. “He would know what to do! He would let us use his camper car to fly to Japan.” “I’ve got it,” said Marsey. “I have some other alien friends who would let us borrow their rockets to fly to Japan. How ‘bout me askin’ them?”
Nick Tooley Mouse asked, “How big is your rocket, Marsey?” “It’s bigger than Mr. Bear’s camper car plus 5 spaceballs!” said Marsey. Donney said, “Can’t we all just go in your rocket?” Marsey said, “Of course we can. There’s enough room for all three of us.”
Donney then asked, “We’ll need to eat. What should we pack?” Marsey answered, “My rocket is full of food. But except for five baloney sandwiches, the rest of the food is alien food. So if you don’t like alien food, you’d better pack your own lunch because the trip will take us about 10 hours.” So Nick and Donney packed lunches while Marsey put gas in the rocket and prepared everything else. Now they were ready to go!
When they went into the rocket, Nick asked, “I wonder what’s going on here?” He wondered because it seemed like Marsey not only owned a rocket but he also owned a space station! His rocket was actually a space station that flies! First, Marsey gave the other two lessons on how to fly the main rocket boosters which is what launches the rocket into space. Next, Marsey went to the flight deck and steered the rocket while Nick and Donney watched the rocket boosters. They were off on their adventure to find the treasure!
Using the treasure map and his directions to Japan, Marsey put the rocket on auto-pilot so that he and the others could have some fun. But Nick and Donney had to do one last thing. They had to put an auto-monitor on the rocket boosters. Now it was party time! First Nick danced the “wedgie wiggle.” Then Donney jumped out of a cubby scaring Marsey because Marsey didn’t know where Donney had hidden. Marsey is an alien from Mars who can breathe normally in space, so he left the rocket to catch a star because aliens love to eat stars as dessert. And, of course, everyone knows that stars taste better than the Empire State Building!
Suddenly, all three heard something very strange that made a really, really, REALLY loud cricket chirp. When they went to the window of the rocket they saw a giant cricket. The cricket was so big, it started eating the rocket for supper. Quickly, Nick and Donney put on their space helmets and all three jumped out of the rocket into outer space. For a while, they were “falling with style.” Then they landed in Japan. At first they were unconscious from the fall. But when they woke up, they discovered they were surrounded by 500 giant Japanese crickets!
Then Marsey called 911, but instead of getting emergency services he got Pizza Hut. Marsey said, “Help! There are giant Japanese crickets all around us!”
But the Pizza Hut employee of the month named Bob Esmanatee said, “I am the greatest employee of Pizza Hut. Who dares to interrupt my work when I’m creating the biggest pizza in the world?”
Marsey answered, “Who dares to make pizza at the police station, weirdo!”
“I’m at Pizza Hut. Don’t you know anything?” Bob asked.
Marsey started to ask, “Then what’s the emergen….. Ahhh, a cricket ate my cell phone. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Donney was soon captured by the second biggest cricket because he wanted the spider for supper. Soon Donney was in the cricket’s pocket heading for the cricket’s house. Another cricket captured Marsey and threw him into the ocean. But Marsey, being an alien, had a button on his one arms that turned him into a big boat. So Marsey was safe for now. Marsey told Nick to first go save Donney and then all of them would ride the boat to find the treasure.
Meanwhile at the second biggest cricket’s house, Donney remembered that he could spin spider webs and swing from the clouds. He looked around and saw a hole in the roof (since he was considered awfully small to giant crickets) so he spun a web, and tried to throw it to the clouds but it didn’t work. Especially since it started to rain and the rain knocked him off the web. He could barely move his arms and legs and his antennas were zig-zaggy. He could barely even talk.
As for Nick Tooley Mouse, he began his journey into the mountains looking for Donney, the bravest clown spider of them all. Nick saw something on a branch in a tree on the very tip-top of the mountain. That something turned out to be a big owl that zoomed down to pick up Nick but instead he knocked him off the mountain. As Nick was falling, he landed on the roof of the second biggest cricket’s house. Then Nick saw a hole in the roof. As he looked down into it, he saw Donney laying there in pain. Quickly, Nick jumped through the hole, grabbed onto a counter and he survived. The giant cricket picked them both up with his greasy claws and put them on separate plates. Just as the cricket was ready to stick Donney with a fork, Nick Tooley jumped across the table and knocked the fork out the way. Then he grabbed Donney and carried him out of the house through a mouse hole that he quickly made. The cricket tried to go through the hole too but his arm got stuck. He’s still there today.
Nick had to walk around the mountain to find Marsey waiting in the sea. Nick saw Marsey and jumped into the sea to swim to the boat. He almost lost Donney while he was swimming so he had to hold Donney with one hand and swim with the other one. Finally he reached Marsey. Then they all went to find the treasure. Soon they came to the cave that had an “X” spot. Marsey pressed another button on another arm and he went back to being an alien. Then he helped Donney and Nick dig for the treasure. Then they saw it . . . the big treasure chest full of gold! Soon Marsey turned back into a big boat and they loaded their gold in the boat. As they were leaving the cave, big claws came out of nowhere to try to stop them from keeping the gold. But Marsey was fast and sailed out before anything could harm them. Soon they were on their way back to America.
When they reached San Francisco, they went to an airport and flew all the way home to St. Laughter which everyone knows is a city by St. Louis. Once they were home, the rest of their friends (Alyssa Dog, Dr. Weird, Mr. Bear and The Fox) came to visit them. Nick, Marsey and Donney told their friends about their crazy adventure. Then Nick received phone call. His Aunt Lucy told him that his favorite mouse cousin, Ruthie Tooley Mouse, had disappeared! To be continued!!!
