“What?” Judy yelled. “Don’t worry,” said Andrew. “Thudd, what time did I turn on the Atom Sucker?” meep … “12:01,” said Thudd. “So all we have to do is set it to UN-SHRINK before 8:01,” Andrew said. meep … “Now 12:31,” said Thudd. “Only 7 hours, 30 minutes left.” “Cheese Louise!” said Judy. “We’d better come up with a plan!” meep … “Purple button!” said Thudd, pointing to the middle of his chest. “A purple button is not a plan,” said Judy. meep … “Purple button send signal to Uncle Al,” said Thudd. “I think Uncle Al is setting up a telescope to look into space,” said Andrew. “I sure hope he can get our signal.” Thudd pressed his purple button. It blinked three times. “How will we know if the signal reaches Uncle Al?” asked Judy. meep … “Not know,” said Thudd. “Purple button never pressed before.” “Well, we’d better not sit around waiting for Uncle Al to come get us,” said Judy. “We need to get off the dog, across the field, and onto the Atom Sucker.”
