On the lowest pier of Stormalong Harbor stood Human-Calvin, Hobbes, Human-Flapjack, Human-K'nuckles, Human-Inventor, and the boys who worked for The Inventor. The time machine was also on the pier. In the water were Bubbie and The Alpha Whale.
"This was one of the best adventures I ever had!" Flapjack said happily.
"I do have to admit while I did not approve of traveling to the past it was enjoyable," said Hobbes.
"Yes, I am so amazed by the technology of the future that I will give a twenty pence raise to my workers," said The Inventor.
"Hooray!" said the boys.
"Calvin, K'nuckles don't you two have something to say to each other?" asked Bubbie.
"I'm sorry for getting us chased out of the Candy Barrel, K'nuckles," said Calvin.
"Don't worry about it Calvin, me and Flap get chased out of the Candy Barrel most of the times we go there," replied K'nuckles.
"Thanks K'nuckles."
"Now go and get a great grade on your report."
"Hooray for forgiveness!" said Flapjack. "It makes everything better."
"That's true baby," said Bubbie.
"Let us go home now Calvin," said Hobbes. "We had enough excitement for one day."
"Agreed."
"I cannot wait to see the time travel in action," said the Inventor
Calvin and Hobbes stepped into the time machine and put on their goggles. The time machine started to float in the air before traveling back to the future.
"Bye Calvin and Hobbes," said Flapjack.
"Be sure to stay in school Calvin," said Bubbie.
"And make sure to eat a lot of Candy," said K'nuckles.
"Keep making amazing inventions," said The Inventor.
"Thanks for the raise," said the boys.
The time machine then flew into the time stream and back to Calvin's bedroom in the present.
Calvin and Hobbes took off their goggles and exited the time machine. Calvin then ran to his desk and sat down and started writing.
Hobbes walked over to Calvin and said, "I never seen you do a report so enthusiastically before."
"I know," replied Calvin. "This is going to be my best report ever."
The next day Calvin sat at his desk looking angry with Hobbes standing behind him.
"You won't believe what happened at school Hobbes," Calvin said angrily. "Everyone said my report was factually inaccurate!"
"Really," replied Hobbes.
"Mrs. Wormwood said my report was even worse than the one we made about bats and my classmates laughed at it! Not only that I have to do the assignment again and Mom and Dad are going to look over it and make me do it again if I get it wrong!"
"Did you learn something from all this?"
"Yeah, my classmates and Mrs. Wormwood don't know a good report when they it."
"Actually the lesson is you should never try to avoid doing your work, which can make things more complicated in the long run. I must admit though that by traveling to the past the M.U.S.L. was saved from destruction and allowed Eight-Armed Willy to follow his dreams."
"I still say my Aesop is the right one."
"Of course it is," Hobbes said sarcastically.
