9:05 AM-Outside by the Road
The next morning, Calvin and Hobbes ran around outside playing their favorite game, Calvinball. They had just gotten there, and after saying brief hellos to their friends, went out to play.
"At least 'king' Kevin lets us play outside," said Calvin, bouncing the ball around. "It still stinks..."
"Oh, relax," said Hobbes. "At least we're not in trouble for going into the locker room...wow, we're not in trouble for something for a change!"
"Hey, you landed in the turtle zone!" said Calvin.
"What does that mean?"
"You have to get down and crawl slowly like a turtle! And the only way to get out of the turtle zone is...TO GET HIT BY THE CALVINBALL!" Calvin threw the ball at Hobbes, but missed, despite the fact that he had a perfect target. "Why do I always miss!"
The ball rolled into a bush where the Kankers were hiding. May kicked the ball into the street. Calvin ran after it, leaving Hobbes crawling. "I'll get it!"
"You know, Turtle Zone was the name of an area in 'Super Mario Land 2.'" mused Hobbes. "But I always liked Tree Zone the best..."
In the street, Calvin grabbed the ball. He was heading back when everything started to rumble. Calvin looked up to see a huge line of cars heading for him, seemingly having come out of nowhere. He tried to escape, but there were too many. Calvin also didn't notice that the cars were all driven by Koopas.
"Hobbes!" he called to his friend.
"Calvin!"
Jumping out of his turtle pose, Hobbes "fought" his way through the cars. He dodged most of them and reached Calvin, who was trying hard not to get run over. With all his strength, Hobbes threw Calvin to safety. At that second, Hobbes was by a car and onto the ground. He being the new target, was knocked around by the cars farther down the road, out of Calvin's view. Bowser was riding on top of one of the cars and reached down and grabbed Hobbes.
"Bowser?"
"Long live the king!" hissed Bowser.
Hobbes looked at him awkwardly. "Why did you say that?"
"You know, I'm not really sure...oh, well!"
Bowser tossed Hobbes into the rushing traffic and laughed as Hobbes got run over...again and again and again.
Calvin frantically ran back and forth, frantically. How was he supposed to save Hobbes? The huge line of cars eventually reached its' end, and drove away, leaving nothing but huge tire tracks.
"Hobbes?"
Although Rolf and Kevin are the Mufasa figures, Kevin getting hit by a car would result in everyone celebrating, and Rolf wouldn't have the same emotion as Hobbes. It's more crucial to Calvin if it's his best friend. Also, "old world" Rolf getting plowed by a car may strike some as being very ironic. The ending is totally Bambi.
