Sam

One day, a little boy named Sebastian was very, very excited because he had an extra special snack. The snack that he had was a cupcake. But not just any old cupcake. Probably the most amazing-looking cupcake he had ever seen. He was looking at it very, very carefully and preparing to eat. As he was about to take his first bite, he heard a voice.

Thingy Whopper

Don't eat that!

Sam

He looked around to see who was talking. He couldn't see anybody nearby, but he decided he would continue to eat. So, as he went to bite again-

Thingy Whopper

Ah! No! No, don't eat it!

Sam

He looked around, and he saw, first of all, a very long arm coming out behind a wall.

Sebastian

What is going on?

Sam

he thought. Then he saw a very, very long leg step out from behind the wall. Then the rest of a very long-armed, long-legged man stepped out and looked at him.

Thingy Whopper

That is the most amazing cupcake I have ever seen in my whole life. Do not eat it!

Sebastian

Well,

Sam

said Sebastian,

Sebastian

if I don't eat it, then why bother even having it?

Thingy Whopper

No, we will eat it, but before we do, I think we need to replicate it into lots more cupcakes because it is too amazing just to have only one of.

Sebastian

Um, I don't know how to do that,

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Do not worry, because I will help you.

Sebastian

But who are you?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

I am Thingy Whopper. And my specialty is cupcakes. Cupcakes are my favourite thing in the whole entire world, and I have eaten pretty much every single style of cupcake that was ever invented. But I have never eaten a cupcake that looks as good as that one. So I will be eating that.

Sebastian

What?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Sebastian

It's my cupcake.

Thingy Whopper

Well, no, I won't be eating that exact one. I'll make sure that you get a cupcake too, but I definitely need to try it, and a little bit of a cupcake that is that amazing will not be enough of a cupcake, so we need to make sure that we can replicate it, and I know how.

Sebastian

Well, how?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Well, there is a friend of mine who makes amazing inventions, and I'm pretty sure I saw something in his workshop that would help us be able to replicate this cupcake into lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of cupcakes.

Sneaking Into Bonigo’s Workshop

Sebastian

Um, o-okay, Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

So, you must come with me. Hang on.

Sam

Thingy Whopper turned around to look for Sebastian's parents.

Thingy Whopper

Ah, excuse me! I'm borrowing the Sebastian to go make more cupcakes.

Mum

Okay!

Sam

came a voice from the other room.

Thingy Whopper

Let us go!

Sam

said Thingy Whopper, grabbing Sebastian by the hand and starting to run out of the room.

Sebastian

We forgot the cupcake!

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Oh dear,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper, reaching his very long arm back inside the room and grabbing the cupcake off the plate. Once they were outside, Sebastian was looking around.

Sebastian

Well, how do we get to this workshop?

Thingy Whopper

Follow me,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper, as he started to run down the street. Sebastian couldn't keep up because Thingy Whopper's arms and legs were so long it made him extra super-duper fast.

Thingy Whopper

Oh, uh, hang on!

Sam

said Thingy Whopper as he ran back. He grabbed hold of Sebastian by the hand, lifted him up onto his back like a piggyback, and started to run.

Thingy Whopper

Here we go! Hooraaaaaaay!

Trapped In The Buzzing Room

Sam

yelled Thingy Whopper as he started running off down the street. In no time at all, they reached the front of a very strange-looking building.

Sebastian

What is this?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Well,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper,

Thingy Whopper

this is Bonigo's workshop. It is very special and very important, and we need to be very, very sneaky.

Sebastian

Why do we need to be sneaky?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Because I haven't technically asked him if we can borrow the replicator, but I'm- I'm sure if we at least leave him one cupcake, he will be completely fine with it.

Sebastian

Um, are you sure?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Definitely!

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Thingy Whopper

When it comes to cupcakes, Thingy Whopper knows best. Alright, come on, let's go!

Sam

So, they walked around through the side of the building and into a giant room. In the first room it looked very, very strange. They could see all these kind of weird sparkly things that seemed to be making some kind of buzzing sound.

Sebastian

What is this?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Um, I'm not entirely sure, but I'm pretty sure it's probably got something to do with... Hmm, maybe this is the power part of his, uh, his very special workshop?

Sam

They looked around.

Thingy Whopper

No replicator here, though, so we best be going.

Sam

As they went to try and find a door, they realised that the buzzing was going all around the room and there wasn't actually a door anymore.

Sebastian

Where did the door we came in through go?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Um, I'm not sure,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Thingy Whopper

But we need to work out how to get out of here. Have you got any ideas?

Sebastian

Me?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Sebastian

I've- I've never been here before.

Thingy Whopper

Well, I've never run into this situation before, so I guess we can work together?

Sam

So, they looked at each other and they looked at the room.

Sebastian

Um, Thingy Whopper,

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Yes, young Sebastian?

Sebastian

Do you notice that the buzzing seems to change a little bit in that little bit over there?

Sam

He pointed to one corner of the room where the buzzing did seem to change. It had a long buzz as it went around, and then when it got to the little section it seemed to buzz more excitedly.

Thingy Whopper

Interesting,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Thingy Whopper

Let's go investigate.

The Replicator Guess

Sam

So Thingy Whopper and Sebastian went over to that corner. As they got closer, they could see that the buzzing was moving up and down and up and down, and it seemed to be almost forming a shape.

Sebastian

How do we work it?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

I'm not too sure,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Thingy Whopper

Maybe if I try touching it.

Sam

Thingy Whopper reached out his hand. Bzzz!

Thingy Whopper

Ooh!

Sam

he said.

Thingy Whopper

That tickles!

Sebastian

Um, you probably shouldn't touch a buzzing thing that you don't understand,

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

No. My finger still feels ticklish. Um, I'm not quite sure what to do.

Sebastian

Um, let me try something,

Sam

said Sebastian.

Sebastian

Open!

Sam

he said. And with that, the buzzing formed the shape of a door. And then a door appeared in the wall.

Thingy Whopper

You've done it! Hooray! Alright, let's continue.

Sam

So Thingy Whopper and Sebastian walked through the door, Thingy Whopper still holding the most incredible cupcake that he had ever seen. As they entered the next room, there was inventions everywhere. There was all kinds of strange machines and ray gun-looking things and everything that neither of them really understood.

Sebastian

So which one's the special replicator?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Well, I'm pretty sure that it might be, um...

Sam

Thingy Whopper looked around the room.

Thingy Whopper

This one!

Sam

he said, pointing at a very big, very elaborate-looking machine. They walked over towards it. There was certainly a section where it appeared that you could put something inside, and then there seemed to be some kind of rolly door on the end of it, and there was a big button that said start.

Thingy Whopper

It must be this one, I'm sure of it,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Sebastian

Um, okay,

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Let's place the cupcake inside the part where something seems to look like it should go.

Sam

So, they put the amazing-looking cupcake in the little hatch. Then they closed it. There was a little glass window that allowed them to see the cupcake inside. Then they looked.

Thingy Whopper

Would you like to do the honours?

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Sebastian

What do you mean?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Press the big start button, of course,

Sam

he said.

Sebastian

Um, okay,

Sam

said Sebastian. He walked over to the start button.

Sebastian

Are you sure Bonigo won't mind?

Thingy Whopper

Oh no, he will be happy. He will love it once we leave him one of these amazing-looking cupcakes. Go on, press the button,

Cupcakes Come Alive

Sam

said Thingy Whopper. So, Sebastian pressed the button. Baaarp! Doof-df-df dff-df-df dff-df-df dff-df-df! The machine started making all kinds of noises.

Thingy Whopper

It's working!

Sam

said Thingy Whopper. Then some kind of wobbly beam started to surround the cupcake inside the little cubicle. Ba-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa!

Thingy Whopper

I think it's scanning,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Sebastian

I hope it doesn't ruin my cupcake,

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Me too,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper,

Thingy Whopper

but I'm sure it will work.

Sam

Then as the machine continued to make all kinds of strange noises, the door on the end of it opened up. Bzzht! Put-a put-a put-a put-a put-a put-a put-a put-a put! As they watched, cupcakes and cupcakes and cupcakes started to come out of a conveyor belt through the door.

Thingy Whopper

Hooray! We did guess the right one,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Sebastian

Guess?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Well, I was sure that Bonigo would have some kind of replicating machine, and this looked a little bit replication-y.

Sebastian

Oh dear,

Sam

said Sebastian.

Sebastian

Are you sure it won't-

Sam

All of a sudden, one of the cupcakes that had come out of the roller door grew arms and legs and stood up.

Sebastian

Um, is that meant to happen?

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Definitely not,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper. Then the cupcake pointed at Thingy Whopper.

Cupcake

There he is! Get him!

Sam

it yelled.

Thingy Whopper

What?

Sam

yelled Thingy Whopper. And then the cupcakes all started running straight towards Thingy Whopper.

Thingy Whopper

Run!

Sam

he yelled. Sebastian and Thingy Whopper started to run away as a crowd of cupcakes with arms and legs started chasing after them.

Sebastian

Thingy Whopper! I don't think this was a normal replicationing machine.

Bonigo Joins The Chaos

Thingy Whopper

Me either! We best be running as quickly as we can!

Sam

he yelled. So as the two of them started running around the room, trying to stay away from the cupcakes, the cupcakes started chasing them from every direction. And then they started getting into Bonigo's tools.

Cupcake

Here, boys, grab one of these!

Sam

The cupcake grabbed one of the tools out of Bonigo's tool bag and threw it straight towards Thingy Whopper.

Thingy Whopper

Whoa!

Sam

said Thingy Whopper, jumping out of the way.

Thingy Whopper

Oh dear, they seem to be collecting implements!

Cupcake

Here's some more! Let's go!

Sam

yelled one of the cupcakes as it started getting into a box of bolts and nuts. In no time at all, the cupcakes all had handfuls of bolts and nuts that they started throwing towards Thingy Whopper and Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Hide!

Sam

yelled Thingy Whopper as he dove behind a different machine. He pulled Sebastian in behind him. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun! made the sound of the machine as all the bolts and nuts started to hit it from the cupcakes that were throwing.

Cupcake

Come on, guys, let's work together. We can get them! Come on! Hooray!

Sam

As the cupcakes started running around the room, Thingy Whopper was very worried.

Tool Armour Activated

Thingy Whopper

I don't know what to do! Maybe we shouldn't have used Bonigo's machines without asking!

Sebastian

I don't think that was a good idea,

Sam

said Sebastian.

Sebastian

Um, I don't know what to do either.

Sam

Just then the door opened.

Bonigo

What is all that noise?

Sam

All of a sudden the cupcakes turned and looked to the door. There was a man with blue hair and a blue moustache wearing overalls.

Bonigo

Uh-oh. I think one of my machines has turned itself on!

Thingy Whopper

Um, Bonigo?

Bonigo

Who said that?

Thingy Whopper

Uh, me, Thingy Whopper,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper, one of his long arms stretching out from behind the machine and waving.

Thingy Whopper

I may have used one of the machines to try and replicate the most amazing cupcake that you have ever seen in your whole entire life. But I think I may have used the wrong one!

Cupcake

Hey, there's another guy! Let's get him too!

Sam

yelled one of the cupcakes, and the cupcakes started running towards Bonigo.

Bonigo

Oh dear! Ah, I think you have used the battle-iser replicla-capacitator!

Sebastian

The what?

Bonigo

Never mind, let's get them!

De-Battle-ising The Cupcakes

Sam

So Bonigo started running into the room. He dove behind machine after machine as the cupcakes were chasing him, until he got behind one that was very, very tiny and looked very, very strange.

Thingy Whopper

What's that one?

Sam

called out Thingy Whopper.

Bonigo

Trust me. I will press the button, and when I say go, jump into the air!

Sam

he yelled.

Sebastian

Um, okay,

Sam

said Sebastian.

Bonigo

One, two, three, go!

Sam

yelled Bonigo, and he pressed the button. Sebastian and Thingy Whopper jumped out from their hiding spot and leapt into the air. As they flew into the air, all of a sudden some kind of strange armour started to attach to their entire body. It was completely made out of tools.

Sebastian

I'm covered in spanners and screwdrivers and all kinds of things,

Sam

said Sebastian.

Thingy Whopper

Me too,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Bonigo

Now get those cupcakes!

Apologies And First Bites

Sam

yelled Bonigo. Thingy Whopper and Sebastian looked at each other, gave an almighty high five, and then started chasing the cupcakes around the room. As they caught them one by one, they grabbed a hold of them. Their armour made them extra strong and extra stable. The cupcakes tried to knock them over, but they couldn't. And they grabbed them and they cuddled them as tight as they could.

Bonigo

Now throw them into this machine!

Sam

yelled Bonigo as he pressed start on another machine. It started making noise and it had a big hopper in the top where they could drop things in. So, Sebastian and Thingy Whopper started dropping the cupcakes into the top of it one by one. As they went through- Whaaaaaa! Zhoomfff! they came out the other side as a normal-looking cupcake.

Thingy Whopper

Hooray! It is working!

Sam

As they dumped in cupcake after cupcake after cupcake, they realised that now they had their replicated, amazing-looking world's best cupcake sitting right in front of them.

Thingy Whopper

Hooray!

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Sebastian

Hooray!

Sam

said Sebastian.

Bonigo

We did it!

Sam

yelled Bonigo.

Bonigo

That was fun. Ha ha!

Thingy Whopper

Um, Bonigo?

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Bonigo

Yes, Thingy Whopper?

Thingy Whopper

Um, I'm sorry for using your machines without asking. I did plan on making you a cupcake too.

Bonigo

Oh, never mind. Next time just ask, I would be more than happy to help you, okay?

Thingy Whopper

Um, okay,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Sebastian

Um, to say thank you,

Sam

said Sebastian,

Sebastian

would you like to have the first bite of our very special cupcake?

Bonigo

Oh yes, this sounds amazing!

Sebastian

So Sebastian handed Bonigo the very first, very special, very amazing, replicated cupcake. Bonigo took a bite.

Bonigo

Oh my goodness! This is the most delicious, amazing cupcake that I have ever tasted! I love it, I love it, I love it! I need to make a machine to make sure that I can make more of these.

Thingy Whopper

Hooray!

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Thingy Whopper

And you can leave that machine at my house.

Bonigo

Um, no, I would leave it here because I would like the cupcakes too. But you are welcome to come for cupcakes.

Thingy Whopper

Okay,

Teleport Home

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Sebastian

Hooray!

Sam

said Sebastian.

Sebastian

Well, I guess I better take a bite of the cupcake too.

Thingy Whopper

You best not bite one of the replicas. You should eat the very special original,

Sam

said Thingy Whopper.

Sebastian

O-okay.

Sam

So, Sebastian walked over to the chamber where the original cupcake was held, opened it up, and took a bite. The taste was so amazing it felt like his brain was almost going to explode with the joy of the most amazing flavours he had ever eaten.

Sebastian

This is incredible! You should taste it, Thingy Who-

Sam

Sebastian looked across, and there was Thingy Whopper, shovelling cupcake after cupcake after cupcake into his mouth.

Thingy Whopper

Om! Yum! Om! Yum! Oh, these are amazing! Om! Om! Om!

Sam

In no time at all, all the replicated cupcakes were gone, and Sebastian and Thingy Whopper and Bonigo all laughed together.

Thingy Whopper

Alright, Sebastian, it best be time I got you home. We've got a long journey to get you back there.

Bonigo

Oh, don't worry,

Sam

said Bonigo.

Bonigo

You can use my transportation teleportation device.

Thingy Whopper

Oh, thank you.

Sam

So, Sebastian stepped inside the machine that Bonigo was in front of.

Bonigo

Okay, Sebastian, thank you for sharing your amazing cupcake.

Thingy Whopper

Yes, thank you. It is incredible, and I cannot wait until Bonigo replicates it into all kinds of amazing cupcakes.

Bonigo

I might even add some changes occasionally too. Hoho, you will have to come back and taste them all.

Sebastian

Thank you!

Sam

said Sebastian.

Sebastian

I'll- I'll see you later!

Bonigo

Goodbye!

Sam

said Bonigo, as he pressed the button on the machine. Bzhooo-oop! With that, Sebastian disappeared- Zhoop! and reappeared in his own house.

Mum

Whoa! Where- where did you come from?

Sam

said his mum.

Sebastian

Well,

Sam

said Sebastian,

Sebastian

I don't think you'd believe me, even if I told you.

Sam

And that is the end of the story.
