CHAPTER 6:

Hooray for Hollywood!

Agent Glyker ran off the train, waving the green plunger with the silver stars so the Rabbids would follow him to Hollywood. And they started to. But . . .

Then they heard something very interesting.

Across the street from Union Station, a mariachi band was playing in Olvera Street. When they heard the music, the Rabbids forgot all about the green toilet plunger and started dancing across the street, singing along. “Bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah . . .”

When they got to Olvera Street, the Rabbids quickly spotted the mariachi band. They immediately joined the band, singing along and “borrowing” their instruments. They danced in front of the band, and a crowd gathered to watch the Rabbids. Their dancing mostly consisted of wiggling their butts.

A kid pointed at the Rabbids. “Hey!” she cried. “Those guys are from The Astonishing Trek! They’re the winners! THEY’RE FAMOUS!!!”

Word spread like wildfire through the historic neighborhood, and Astonishing Trek fans flocked to see their favorite contestants. Soon a huge mob had formed around the Rabbids.

“GIVE ME YOUR AUTOGRAPH!” each of the fans screamed. “I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE DOES!”

As the crowd of fans pressed in on the Rabbids, they huddled and spoke to each other. “Bwah bwah bwah?” “Bwah bwah bwah!” “BWAH!”

Apparently, they had decided it would be fun to run away from the crowd and hide, because that’s just what they did. They dropped to their hands and knees, crawled through the fans’ legs, and ran off!

“Hey, where’d they go?” one fan cried.

“They’re over there!” another fan shouted, pointing. “GET ’EM!”

The fans ran after the Rabbids, followed by Glyker, who was afraid he wouldn’t be able to get the unpredictable Rabbids to the awards ceremony on time. He’d never get his job back. And worst of all, he’d never get his fee!

The Rabbids enjoyed running through the city. They didn’t even care that a big crowd of reality TV fans were chasing them. They thought it was fun!

And it was about to get even more fun. . . .

The Rabbids came upon a ceremony where a beautiful movie star was putting her hands and feet in wet cement in front of a big movie theater. The Rabbid in front of the trio was the first to spot the woman sticking her hands into something dark and gray and wet. And when she pulled her hands out, they were covered in the gloppy stuff!

Intriguing!

The Rabbid had to try it himself. He ran up to the wet cement and acted like he was a movie star, smiling a huge smile and blowing kisses. Then he got down on his knees and stuck his hands in the cement.

The movie star was horrified! Her publicist tried to shoo the Rabbid away, but the Rabbid pulled his hands out of the wet cement and flicked them at the publicist. Blorp! Wet cement splattered onto the publicist’s face!

Other people tried to chase the Rabbid off, but his two fellow intruders came to his aid. They bumped into the movie star, who fell into the wet cement face-first! SCHPLORP! She rose out of the cement, looking like a monster, and screamed. “YAAAAH!”

Images

Startled, the Rabbids ran right through the wet cement and down the sidewalk. As people helped the movie star to her feet, the crowd of reality TV fans ran right through the wet cement too!

The Rabbids saw the onslaught of fans coming after them. One of them got an idea. He stood behind a surfboard being carried along by a surfer and pulled his two fellow Rabbids in with him. They walked along with the unaware surfer, keeping their bodies behind the long surfboard. It looked as though someone with two normal feet and six Rabbid feet was walking along carrying his board.

Images

When they reached the beach, the surfer ran right out into the ocean, and the Rabbids ran with him. They paddled out into the water, caught a huge wave, and rode it on the surfboard.
