CALVIN IN OZ
Calvin woke up one morning and sighed. He had a math quiz today, and unfortunately, substitute students weren't allowed. Same for substitute Hobbes. Today Calvin just decided he was going to avoid the rush with mom by just getting out of the bed right away. The moment he moved away the covers though, a chilly wind blew under his PJ's. Calvin shivered, and had hopped back in bed before he had even set a foot on the ground. Calvin cuddled himself up in his warm covers, and hoped maybe it would be so warm that he would catch a fever and not have to go to school today.
He squeezed himself around Hobbes' warm, furry body as he chattered. In an instant, Hobbes turned around and had let out a yell. "AAH! Your hands are freezing! Stay on your side of the bed!" Then he turned back around. Calvin blew out some air. No doubt about it – he could see his breath. He looked out the window. Suddenly, a wide grin spread over Calvin's face. There a thick icy blanket of white covering everything in sight. There must have been a foot of snow, and it was still snowing hard.
"IT'S SNOWING!" Calvin exclaimed, jumping out of the bed sheets and hopping on the bed. Hobbes got rocked because of this, and grabbed Calvin's ankle and tossed him out of bed. Calvin still maintained a wide grin. He changed into his clothes (Hobbes made a joke about his 'pink little butt', but Calvin ignored him), and dashed downstairs and frantically changed the radio channels.
"School has been cancelled today in the following schools…" the weather guy started, but Calvin didn't listen anymore. He was already changing into his snow gear and darted out the door, and he was guessing Hobbes would be coming out later. Suddenly, a hard piece of ice knocked Calvin on the head. Luckily, it was just about the size of those 'Ice-Away' tablets. Calvin went into the garage and grabbed his sled just as some more ice 'tablets' came raining down on him, along with much more snow coming down.
That's when Calvin noticed the neighbor's snowmobile. A wide grin spread over his face as he saw that the keys were still in ignition. Calvin turned the key and the snowmobile started up. Calvin got a bag from the kitchen and filled it with the ice that was falling. He got it heavy enough and put it in the snowmobile. Then Calvin attached his sled to the back of the snowmobile. Calvin sat on the sled and waved around the ice bag like a slingshot, before catapulting it into the snowmobile, right on top of the gas pedal. The ice caused it to stay down as the snowmobile, the sled, and Calvin flew down the snowy hills.
Calvin yelled happily. This was fun. Suddenly, the snow started getting thicker and it built up under Calvin's sled, and soon had covered Calvin's sled in snow, causing his lower body to be completely submerged under the freezing snow, but the snowmobile kept going. Calvin shivered as the snow built up to his arms. Suddenly, before the snow could reach his face, the snowmobile went over the large gap Calvin and Hobbes always braved, but it made the jump.
The problem was, the snowmobile had it's front part buried in the snow that was growing. The ice bag fell out and the sled flew over the gap now. But it didn't make the whole way and was now dangling over the ravine that seemed 300 stories to Calvin. It was really only 30 feet though. Calvin breathed heavily. The rope was starting to grow weak. Calvin decided he had to climb the rope or die. Trembling, Calvin grabbed onto the rope just as it broke from the sled. The sled crashed at the bottom and broke into splinters.
Calvin then heard a rocking sound. The snow started to give way around the mighty snowmobile. Calvin yelled in horror as the snowmobile fell from the ledge. Calvin let go of the rope and fell to the ground below, yelling all the way. Then it went black for him.
