The Clone Wars Part I
"Run Hobbes! Back to the time machine!"
The six-year old and the tiger scrambled madly across the Mesozoic planes. An Allosaur was hot on their tails.
"When we get back to the machine, throw him the snacks we packed. Maybe they'll distract him!" said Calvin. The Allosaur roared, a deafening sound in the humid Jurassic air.
As the boy and the tiger dashed up the final hill, the time machine came into view. Technically, it wasn't a time machine. It really was Calvin's old transmogrifier that had been altered. The battered old cardboard box had the scars of many uses: transmogrifier, time machine, and duplicator.
Calvin heard the pounding footsteps of the dinosaur behind them. If he remembered his dino-mag had said the Allosaur could run as fast as a bus. But since they were running uphill and had a good head start on the dinosaur, they still had a few precious minutes before he would catch up to them.
Finally, they reached the box. The Allosaur put on a burst of speed when he saw his prey had stopped.
"Throw the snacks!" said Calvin.
"You can throw YOUR snacks." said Hobbes. "I might still want mine."
"You're going to be a snack!" yelled Calvin "Get in! Get in!"
As the Allosaur charged the box, Calvin hit the time travel button and the box rose out of reach of the mighty jaws of the dinosaur. Hobbes threw a mushy banana at the Allosaur. It wasn't the snack he wanted but at least it was a snack. The dinosaur chewed on the banana as he watched his prey escape.
The box hit the ground hard and Calvin and Hobbes went flying.
"Wow. That was close!" said Calvin "Now we have these pictures, we'll be rich!"
Calvin patted the old box. They had been through a lot together. From the first time he built his transmogrifier to the duplicator. He remembered the duplicate fiasco. He had been punished so much for something he didn't do that it wasn't funny. He was so glad his dupes were transmogrified into worms.
The boy and tiger went back inside and told their wild adventure to Calvin's mom who for some reason rolled her eyes.
That night, Calvin slept uneasily. He was having a dream where his duplicates regained their human form and...

Outside, the time machine swayed in the wind. The corrugated cardboard bent under the force of the wind. At that moment...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...and hum. A brilliant flash. Then a muffled voice. "I'm human again!" A duplicate crawled out from under the box.

...a chicken! "They transmogrified me into a chicken!" thought Calvin. He watched helplessly as Hobbes was dragged into the box and turned into a...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm back!" said the duplicate. A little too loud. The light in Calvin's parent's bedroom came on and Calvin's dad came to the window. "CALVIN!"...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Calvin awoke from his dream by his dad shouting his name. He got out of bed, looked out the window and saw...one of his duplicates running into the woods. Calvin climbed out his window and was about to dash after his duplicate when his dad came around the corner and grabbed him.
"Alright young man. You have ten seconds to get back inside!"
As Calvin got back to bed, he wondered "How did one of my duplicates get back into human form?"
The duplicate ran far into the woods. Then he stopped and thought: "What an idiot I was! I should have duplicated myself or grabbed the machine at least! Calvin will pay for what he did. I don't know how but he will pay!"
