CHAPTER 9: Rest Stop
"Hobbes... I need to stop and rest. I'm exhausted!" panted Calvin.
"We stopped to rest for half an hour to go for FIFTEEN MINUTES!" cried
Hobbes.
"But I'm tired and it's soooo late," whined Calvin.
"I know that it's late, but we have to continue. We will stop to get some
sleep at dawn which is in a couple hours," sighed Hobbes.
"There is a cave a couple of hours away on this route that we can sleep
in so nobody can find us. We call it the Beaver Hideout," said Terena.
"We go there when in trouble or when we don't have anywhere to stay.
Which rarely happens."
"Sounds like a good place to sleep," said Hobbes thoughtfully. "We'll do
it. Just hold on for a couple minutes, Calvin. We'll be there soon."
"Oh, all right," said Calvin impatiently. "I guess I can hold out for a
FEW more hours."
"Good, let us continue."
A couple hours later, the trio made it to the cave they were heading for,
which was behind a bunch of brush.
"Wow! That IS a good hiding place," yawned Calvin.
Hobbes peeked inside the cave and looked around. "Wow! There are even
beds in here and a place to eat. Hey! There's even a coffee maker in
here!"
"Yeah. We try to make this place as cozy as possible," grinned Terena.
"Let us sleep now. Santa should be by tonight."
Everyone crawled into a bed and fell asleep. Meanwhile, Susie and Mr. Bun
were standing 100 yards away from the cave, not realizing that it was
even there.
"According to my calculations, we should've ran into them in this spot,"
said Mr. Bun, looking around confused.
"Well... it seems that your calculations are WRONG!" screamed Susie
angrily. "I don't see them anywhere. You even promised me that we would
run into them here. You will be punished!"
Susie got out her wand and turned Mr. Bun into a dog.
"Now sniff them out!"
The dog ran around sniffing, and then ran off into the woods and came
back out carrying a stick, which he dropped at Susie's feet.
"NOOOOO! I want the boy Calvin, not some stupid stick!"
Susie swung her wand at the dog, who snatched the wand out of her hand
and ran in the opposite direction of the cave, with Susie right behind
him.
Hobbes woke up to the racket and peeked out of the cave, wondering what
the screaming was all about.
"Did you guys hear anything?" asked Hobbes, looking outside.
"Yeah. Might've been a pack of wolves killing a deer," said Terena. "I
wouldn't worry about anything."
"Okay." Hobbes crawled back into his bed and covered up. "Good night."
"Hobbes... I need to stop and rest. I'm exhausted!" panted Calvin.
"We stopped to rest for half an hour to go for FIFTEEN MINUTES!" cried
