Dirk and Deke are the antagonists of "Teenage Sponge Boys from Outer Space", the third story in the first Goosebumps Triple Header book.

History

Dirk and Deke are a pair of aliens that crash landed on the planet Earth. Since their ship crashed, the pair pretended to be normal sixth graders, and attended the same school and class as Mac and Becky. Despite this, they still act strange, erasing a chalkboard with their heads and not reacting when a soda can hits them. After Mac and Becky discovered their spaceship, the twins reveal that they're actually sponge-headed aliens from another planet. They then force Becky and Mac into rebuilding their spaceship so that they can return to their home planet. Mac refuses, but they briefly transform his hand into a sponge until he relents.

Eventually, Mac and Becky rebuild the spaceship, but the twins try to force them to staying on the ship with them. Suddenly, rain begins to fall, causing Dirk and Deke's sponge heads to fill up with water, making them immobile. Mac and Becky push them back on the ship as it lifts off. Mac returns home, but soon finds that he forgot to put a bolt in on the ship. He then hears a loud crash.
