CHAPTER 4: IT'S A MAGICAL WORLD
Calvin woke up one winter morning and looked out the window. There were over 10 feet of snow outside!
"Hobbes, wake up!" Hobbes woke up shortly.
"What's going on?" Hobbes said.
"There's 14 feet of snow out there!" Calvin said.
"14 feet of snow? Hot dog! Let's go!" Calvin quickly put on his jacket, his boots, his hat, and his scarf and Hobbes just wore a scarf.
Calvin got out his toboggan and Calvin and Hobbes went to the biggest hill in the neighborhood. Calvin and Hobbes sat on the sleigh.
"I can't believe that it's New Year's Eve!" Calvin said.
"Yeah, but your mom won't let us stay up 'till midnight.'" Hobbes said.
"Who cares? I'm going to dance until I drop!"
"It's like a new chapter." Hobbes said.
"A new leaf!" Calvin said. "A new life!" Hobbes said.
"To start over!" Calvin said.
"But the best part is…"
"That we'll always have more fun than ever!" Calvin and Hobbes said together .They both laugh.
" It's a magical world Hobbes!" Calvin said.
"Let's go exploring!" Calvin steered the toboggan while Hobbes was sitting in the back.
They were in the woods and Calvin got out ice skates.
"I'm not sure that this is a good idea Calvin." Hobbes said.
"You said that tigers are natural born climbers right?"
"Right." Hobbes said.
"They can be professional skaters, too. Now c'mon! I promise that you'll never get hurt."
"You promise?" Hobbes said.
"I promise. I'm your best friend. You can trust me."
Hobbes put on the roller skates. He tried to skate, but he was too scared.
"Do I have to give you a push?" Calvin asked.
"Yes." So Calvin gave Hobbes a push, a big one! So big that Hobbes was skating really fast and about to fall right over an edge! Hobbes was hanging on for dear life! Calvin tried to pull Hobbes up, but he was too heavy.
"Remember when I said that the sidewalk never ends?" Calvin said.
"Yeah, I sure do." Hobbes said.
"Well I was wrong." Calvin said. Hobbes's fingers were slipping.
"Calvin, I don't think I'll make it!" Hobbes said. Calvin tried to hold back the tears.
"You will Hobbes!" Calvin said. Hobbes was about to fall. Calvin and Hobbes looked at each other and said
"Hobbes," Calvin began.
"Dead or not, I'll always be with you."
"I'll always be your best friend." Hobbes said. Calvin gave Hobbes a high five on his other hand. Hobbes is going to fall!
"Hobbes, I have to tell you something." Hobbes had tears in his eyes and Calvin also had tears in his eyes.
"Hobbes, I'm…" Before Hobbes could say anymore, Hobbes was falling 100 feet in the air. He's not going to survive because there are pointy rocks on the ground!
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Calvin knew that his best friend was gone, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Two days later, there was a funeral for Hobbes. Calvin and his alter egos were there. Tracer put his hat down, Spaceman and Stupendous were both crying. Calvin stood in front of Hobbes's coffin which was actually a foot tall brown box. Calvin read his poem out loud:
Hobbes was my friend
He is a tiger and he will always be with you 'till the end. He was great, in a million words but I don't know how to describe him.
He a true friend
He is a tiger
He joins my clubs
He comes to show & tell
I would always blame Hobbes for my crimes
Hobbes is a true friend and I'll always be with him 'till the end.
I know what you guys are thinking. Be patient! Calvin's alter egos are going to find a way to bring Hobbes to life on chapter 15. You'll see! Trust me! Without Hobbes, Calvin and Hobbes will be just like toilet paper, in the toilet!
