the box ghost's last day on earth

Chapter 10,

Danny and Tommy were surprised to see that Paul had created a tiny box kingdom. They rushed towards it and Paul opened the 'drawbridge' so that they could enter it.

"Wow, dad, this is so cool." Tommy said and Danny shook his head.

"Yeah, let's play knights." Danny said and Tommy giggled.

"Ok, I'll be the good knight and defend this kingdom, and you will be the bad knight who is trying to take the kingdom away from me." Tommy said and Danny pursed his lips.

"I don't want to be a bad knight." Danny said and Tommy shrugged.

"Well, you have to be. This castle is in my home, and so it's mine, and that makes me the king." Tommy said and Danny pouted more.

"No fair, I don't have a castle." Danny said and Paul reached over and put his hand on Tommy's shoulder.

"Boys, I think I have the answer." Paul said and they both turned to him.

"I can be the bad knight, and you two can be the good knights and fight me together." Paul said and Danny smiled.

"Oh, cool." Danny said and Tommy smiled.

"Ok, daddy." Tommy said and Paul laughed.

"Good, so who wants some armor. I have a little shield and sword for you, here, Tommy." Paul said and Tommy reached out for them, and Danny looked down.

"Don't worry, Danny I went ahead and made a set for you, too." Paul said as he handed them their little costumes.

"What about you, dad." Tommy asked and Paul looked at some of the extra cardboard.

"Well, uh, just a minute." Paul said and he walked over to an empty box that wasn't broken down and pulled his box cutter from the childproof drawer. He cut a place for his head and that became his helmet; then he grabbed a flat piece of cardboard and made a fast tape handle, and this became his shield; then he grabbed a postal tube and this became his sword.

"Ok, you boys ready?" Paul asked and he heard the sound of two mischievous boys giggling.

"Yes." They both said and Paul slowly walked towards the castle. He walked heavily so that the boys could hear his footsteps, and he walked until he could see the eyes of Tommy and Danny.

"BEWARE! I Am The Box Knight. And I Am Here To Rob You Of Your Precious Box Kingdom." Paul said theatrically and Tommy rushed through the drawbridge.

"You Shall Not Steal MY Castle!" Tommy said in the same theatrical way as his dad.

"Yeah, buddy. You're sorry that you met the likes of us." Danny said, hopping out of the castle like Tommy did.

"OH, No. Two Knights. However Shall I Survive?" Paul said and then he pointed his 'sword' at the two boys.

"You better be scared." Tommy said before swinging his sword at Paul. Paul easily blocked it with his sword, but pretended as if Tommy's sword was the weight of the world.

"You Have Such A Mighty Hand!" Paul said and Danny giggled.

"Prepare to lose." Danny said and he swung his sword at Paul's head, and Paul lifted his arm just in the nick of time.

"Oh, No, I Have Been Cut. I Must Fight For The Box Kingdom." Paul said and Tommy smiled at Danny, they both swung at Paul's side and Paul carefully landed onto his back.

"Ow, Ow, Ow. Be Merciful, Kind Knights." Paul said and the boys laughed as they hit him some more. Then he gently tapped his 'sword' against Tommy's legs, which made Tommy squeal in delight.

"Come on daddy." Tommy said and then Danny grabbed the front of his shirt.

"Is something wrong, Danny?" Paul asked and Danny shook his head.

"No, sir. I'm just getting a little hungry." Danny said and Paul nodded.

"Right, your mother normally gives you boys a snack, huh." Paul said and Tommy nodded.

"Ok, well, how about this. I'll go fix a snack while you and Danny color and personalize your shields with your crayons. Then when we are don eating we can play fight over the castle. And maybe if we have time, we can go out into the yard and play catch before Danny's parents come over and pick him up." Paul said and Tommy pumped his fist.

"Alright." He said and Danny rushed to his backpack to grab his crayons. Paul took off his armor and walked up to the kitchen and he looked in the fridge.

"Grilled cheese? No, Tommy likes ketchup and Danny likes tomato soup, and they argued last time I made that. Uh, P.B.J., maybe. I don't see any jelly, so forget that. Ants on a log... I think the boys licked the raisins and peanut butter off of it last time... Uh... They like carrots, so I can take that out there." Paul paused to take the carrots out of the fridge. Then, seeing that the pantry door was opened, he closed the fridge door and looked inside that.

"Cereal, too sugary. Quesadillas, not enough cheese and chicken. Granola bars, I don't remember if Danny likes granola. Oh, wait." Paul said as he noticed a can near the back. He reached in and pulled out a large can of spaghetti O's, and he smiled.

"Oh, now this is perfect. They eat as much as they want, and if they don't finish it, then I will polish it off." Paul said as he placed it on the island and started his search for the can opener. He opened the can, heated it up, and made two plates for the boys. Their plates had a small ladle of spaghetti O's, some carrots, and Paul went ahead and placed a banana, from the fruit bowl, on the plate. He made sure that the heat was turned down on the spaghetti O's and put a timer on his watch for ten minutes. Paul figure that it would be better for him to turn off the heat after he gave the boys a chance to eat it when it's hot. When he returned to the basement, he saw the kids laying on their stomachs, next to each other, and Paul couldn't help but smile. He loved that Tommy and Danny were friends. He hoped that they would be friends forever.

"I got food." Paul said and Tommy shifted to look at him.

"Ooo, that smells so good." Tommy said, licking his lips and Danny looked at his food with confusion.

"What's this." Danny said and Tommy looked at him.

"Are you talking about the spaghetti O's?" Tommy asked and Danny nodded.

"Why did you cook round noodles for the spaghetti? I have never seen round noodles for spaghetti before." Danny said and Paul chuckled.

"Danny this is not spaghetti. Or at least it's not traditional spaghetti. This is from a can, and it is called 'Spaghetti O's' because the pasta is round. Go ahead and try it. If you don't like it then I can make you a peanut butter fold-over." Paul said and Danny got a spoonful and eyed it for a minute before taking a hesitant bite.

"Huh, that's good." Danny said and Paul chuckled again.

"I got plenty more, so you guys can eat up, ok?" Paul said, mostly to Danny though.

"Will do." Danny said.
