As soon as Randall got the message, he sprinted to the factory at the speed of light.
"What! What happened?"
"Randall! Calm down! Nothing's wrong!"
"What?! You mean you called me down here for nothing?!"
"No, Randall! Look! The CDA took Mr. Waternoose away!"
"What? But how?"
"Well, Randall, it's a long story." Alex told Randall what happened with Waternoose.
"Wow, I din't know he was so mean."
"He should be a scarer. He'd be really good at it. Anyway, I have to get home. I'll see you later."
"Okay, see ya." Alex went back home, but she stopped when she saw something on one of the tunnels. She went to get a closer look. It was small engraved letters! She figured they were pretty old, because it was hard to read the writing. But finally, she could make something out.
PROPERTY OF PETER BOGGS
"Bogg's! That's Randall's name! I wonder if he has something to do with it." She grabbed a piece of paper and wrote the name on it. Then she turned around and went back to Monstropolis. She ran up to Randall's and burst through the door. "Randall!"
"Alex? What are you doing here?"
"Randall, do you have a relative named Peter Boggs?"
"Well, I don't know, but I think I have a family tree somewhere in here. Come on, let's look for it."
"Do you remember what it looked like?"
"I think it was a little orange tree. I made it in first grade. It can't be that hard to find." Alex finally found it in a drawer in Randall's desk.
"I found it!"
"Great! Let's check it out." The two started reading the small paper tree.
"Wow, Randall, you have a lot of relatives."
"Well, I was one of ten."
"Really? How come you never told me that?"
"I guess I just never thought of it. Wait! Here it is! Peter Boggs. So he was my great-great-great-great-great grandfather."
"Wow! I can't believe it! And all this time!"
"What? What is it?"
"Randall, it certainly is a small world."
"What do you mean?"
"Come on, follow me." Alex led Randall to her tunnels. "Come on!"
"Alex, what is going on?"
"Just go on." Alex pushed Randall down the hole, and jumped in herself.
"Where are we? Are these those tunnels you were talking about?"
"Yup! Come on!" She took him to the main tunnel. "See, look. Tell me what you see." Randall squinted at the letters for a minute.
"Nothing. Wait! 'Property of Peter Boggs.'"
"See! I told you! So Peter Boggs must have made these tunnels before either one of us was born! he wanted us to be able to see the monster world for real! Can you believe it, Randall? You great-great-great-great-great grandfather made these tunnels, and I came through and now we're best friends!"
"Wow! It really is a small world!"
"I think there really is a connection between us, Randall."
"What! What happened?"
"Randall! Calm down! Nothing's wrong!"
"What?! You mean you called me down here for nothing?!"
"No, Randall! Look! The CDA took Mr. Waternoose away!"
