"Am I sleeping? What's that over there? Is that a girl?" the girl, she has blue eyes and wears a long elegant, blue dress, the wind blowing her hair to the side. She is saying something to me. I move closer to her. I can hear clearly now. "There is a world not so distant from your own, that world is called Laputa." She tells me. He voice echo's around us. "Somewhere in that world there is a laboratory, Kasbah's laboratory to be exact. There is a room. The room that I sleep in. H-e-l-p m-e-!"
Ivan falls out of a chair in the class room. He had fallen asleep in class, which was bad enough, but falling out of his chair? How embarrassing. He thought. "Ivan what do you think you are doing? Sleeping in class? That's detection unless you can answer this riddle." Ms. Jordan, the teacher, yelled. "I can be stolen or be given away and you will live, yet you cannot live without me." She finished. The class was dead silent. All awaiting Ivan's answer. "Your heart, ms Jordan" He answered. Ms. Jordan's mouth fell open. The class gasped and murmur filled the room as the Ivan's classmates whispered about what had just happened. Ivan always got riddles wrong. How did he get this one right? he had the lowest grades in the class, and this was the hardest question of the day! "th-that's co-correct Ivan. How'd you get that right?" Ms. Jordan stammered. "It was easy. Ms. Jordan, I didn't want detection." Ms. Jordan was stunned with shock. She had never expected Ivan to get the riddle correct. The class bell rang but the class stayed silent. "May I be dismissed?" "Yeah" Ms. Jordan whispered as she watched Ivan stand from his seat and walk out of the class room. Slowly, the class followed in Ivan's footsteps, leaving ms. Jordan in awe.
