I do not own Calvin, Hobbes, or any One Piece-related items. Bill Watterson owns Calvin and Hobbes, and Eiichiro Oda owns One Piece.

Thanks to Dr.Dude for suggesting the plot here!

"My parents!" Calvin shouted, "They're gonna kill me if they don't find me in my room!"

Calvin went back under the barrel and transformed back into a kid.

"What should we do?" asked Hobbes.

Calvin got out of the barrel and thought about this for a while, then his eyes lit up. "OK," he said, "Someone help me flip the barrel so the opening is on top!"

Usopp and Chopper did. "What are you planning to do?" asked Chopper.

"Well, when I had the box back home in the same position," Calvin answered, "I was able to travel through time and space. That's how I got here."

"WOW, REALLY!?" Luffy asked, obviously amazed.

"Yeah," Calvin answered, "... Come to think of it, I guess, up until I ate that fruit, I was only imagining that I came here... Aw, heck with it." Then he continued with his explanation. "So anyway, now all I gotta do..." Now he started climbing into the barrel. "...is (Oomph) use THIS (Unngh!) the same way! (Whew!)" For now he made it to the lip, and jumped in. But when he looked up, he was in for a bit of a nasty surprise. How was he gonna get home if he wasn't able to see where he was going? He could only see the sky!

Calvin sighed, "Hoo boy. This won't be easy, after all."


Meanwhile, back in Calvin's world and time, a young girl about Calvin's age with chestnut brown hair, wearing a yellow shirt and green overalls, was walking up to Calvin's house.

This was Susie Derkins. She and Calvin had sort of an "on-off" friendship. Mostly "off". That being said, she normally wouldn't be visiting Calvin -- he had, after all, played or attempted to play many cruel pranks on her, not to mention throwing slushballs -- but she DID have the occasional urge to visit her "friend".

As she walked up to the door, she noticed a small sticky note. "Gone to Meeting. Back Soon." She knew this was one of Calvin's parents' handwriting.

She wrang the doorbell. "Hello!" she shouted, "Anyone home?" ...No answer. She then noticed a cardboard box lying in the bushes near the house. Curious, she walked over and pulled the box out. Didn't she see Calvin playing with this before? Susie rolled her eyes. "I don't see why he'll play pretend with that tiger and this thing," she thought, "and not with me and Mr. Bun."

Well, curiosity got the better of her, and she found herself placing the box on the ground and looking inside it. Suddenly, she lost her balance and fell in. A FLASH OF LIGHT, AND SHE AND THE BOX ... vanished without a trace.


Back on the Thousand Sunny, Calvin realized they left the box they used back on the mainland! It was too late to go back for it; they had already set sail.

Calvin was not having a good day. "Could this day get any worse?" Calvin muttered. Suddenly -- FLASH! -- a flash of light appeared in front of Calvin. Soon, the flash was gone, and in its place was a very surprised girl in a cardboard box. Calvin's eyes widened. Oh no! It was Susie!

Susie noticed Calvin and looked at her surroundings. "Wh-What!?" Susie asked, clearly startled, "Calvin!? Where are we!? What's going on!?"

There was a pause, and Calvin fell on his knees and looked up at the sky. "I DIDN'T MEAN IT!!!"

Well, whaddaya think? I'm planning to end this series soon. Sorry, but I have other projects I'd like to get to. In the meantime, R&R!
