Hi! Hello! Hola! 'Sup? I'm Leo Valdez and I'm here to rock your World! But first, I need to make it to Vegas! Calypso and I are heading there as our next stop on Festus Airlines. We've already visited Beijing, China to see the Great Wall of China, Australia to see The Great Barrier Reef, and our last trip was to Paris, France to see the Eiffel Tower. Right now, I need to recalibrate the main frontal control system in one of my Archimedes Spheres, Calypso, however, is listening to some music on a LeoPod I created for her, typical, Calypso loved to listen to music while traveling . I created a internal navigation system (INS) for Festus so he can do the navigating, while Calypso and I are just relaxing.
. . .
I must of fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew, I was waking up, and it looked like a robot had puked on me. The parts for the Archimedes Sphere were all over my stomach! Behind me, I heard Calypso growling in frustration. I looked back and saw her trying to get everything back in the poor Sphere's exoskeleton.
"Uhh, what are you doing?" I asked.
Calypso jumped about a foot high. "Oh, Leo! Um, you're awake!"
"Yeah, I didn't know I fell asleep."
"Well, you were out for a good two hours. We're just above Kalamazoo."
"Okay, what and where is Kalamazoo?"
"It's a city near the bottom left corner of Michigan, I think Festus needs a tune-up."
"Gotcha, I think I need some food, I'm hungry."
"Yeah, I think I could too."
"What time is it anyway?"
"Paris time, eleven at night. Michigan time, six in the evening."
"Then let's get some grub."
. . .
Ten minutes later, Calypso and I were in a Four-Star restaurant, eating pizza and sipping sodas. I think it was called something like Martini's Pizza. I know, weird name, but it's not my fault. But the edited sign was. It now read All da ladies luv Leo!
"You still haven't answered my question, what were you doing with the Archimedes Sphere?"
"I tried to rebuild it for you."
"You know how to build an Archimedes Sphere?"
"Well, sort of, because a long time ago, Archimedes ended up on Ogygia somehow and he told me the basic design of it."
"Really? Wow, that's pretty cool."
"Yeah, except I kinda forgot it."
"Oh."
"So now it looks like robot vomit."
"Hey, I'm eating here!"
"Sorry."
"Meh, whatever."
"So what's the plan now?" Calypso asked me.
"I dunno, we ride Festus to Vegas, then maybe find a hotel, if we're lucky, we'll get to Vegas by ten."
"Okay, ten PM in Vegas, Kalamazoo, or Paris?"
"Ten PM in Vegas."
"Okay, so it'll be around one AM in Kalamazoo."
"Yup, it's a four hour flight if we leave now."
"Well, I'm finished with my pizza."
"So am I."
"Well, let's head to Vegas, then."
"Okay."
