Hi! Welcome to my NINTH story! Yay! Anyway, this one will be about MAGNET! *applause* As I was saying, I found out that SmarterChild has a built in translator! So if your going to write something, he can help you a lot!

_*_*_*_

Dedication:: ZiggyGirl. I love your stories. Every last one of them. I hope you post more soon, I can't get enough of your stuff, it is SO good!

Disclaimer:: Don't own Holes. I don't own Holes. I am just an obsessed fan with so much spare time that I don't know what to do with myself. I'm not making any money off this or any of my other stories. Louis owns Holes. And if you don't know who he is, then why are you even in this section? GET OUT!

Contact:: Currently, there are FIVE ways to contact me, meaning THERE IS NO REASON YOU SHOULDN'T!!! Firstly, you can review here, that is the most common way. Or I can be AOL instant messaged at *I Hug Squirrels*, without the stars. If you don't have aim, then you can email me at Happysushi1353@yahoo.com. Otherwise, feel free to comment in my Dead journal (link on bio) or Neo-Mail me, at neopets.com.

Authors Note:: Once again, VELOCITY IS WORKING! So check it out! Yay! Anyway, this one isn't a slash, but my next one will be. But if you don't mind straightness of the Magnet kind, then read on! Another thing, I hope to have most of my others holes fics updated by Friday, no later than Monday. So be sure to check on them too. One more thing, the comma in Jose doesn't show up on my computer, so don't yell at me about that, it's not my fault! Anything in Capital Letters will be translated at the bottom!

Rating:: This'll just be G, maybe PG for now. I'm not sure where I'm headed with this...

Pairings:: None yet.

Jose glared at the sandbox. It was painted pink, with a purple polka dotted cover. His father had made it for him when he was 4, now he was 13, and ready to take on every damn store he could get to. He was staying with his mother currently, and couldn't wait to get away.

"Jose! VENIDO AQUÍ AHORA," yelled his mother from the kitchen doorway.

He stood up and waked over to her, hiding the diamond ring he just stole from K-Mart in his pocket. He smiled sweetly and looked down at her, she must've been two whole feet shorter than him.

"¿cQué?"

"The POLICÍA just called," she answered in her shaky English, "they said you stole from K-Mart. Some fancy necklace."

She stood, waiting for him to reply. He stared at his feet, silent. How could they have known it was him? This was America, his uncle had told him, they were well off. He could take whatever he wanted and they wouldn't notice.

"APESADUMBRADO."

"APESADUMBRADO doesn't cut it Jose. They want you to come into the station. They want to take you to jail. To rot with the murderers and rapists."

Magnet woke up, clutching the thin blanket he always slept with. The sounds of the desert seemed to echo around him, along with Armpit's snores, and the lonely sleeping mumble of Caveman.

He always had that dream.

The dreams of his mother, before they took him away. He had messed with the wrong K-Mart. The trumpet blasted then, interrupting his thoughts and jumbling everyone else out of bed. Squid and Zig Zag went out first, followed by X-Ray. Zero and Stanley left after them, followed by Armpit. Magnet groaned and followed them.

"El HOMBRE, SI TENGO QUE CAVAR UN MÁS AGUJERO Yo VA A MORIR!"

"Huh?" asked Zig Zag, eyeing him carefully.

"I said... oh forget it..."

They walked out to dig.
