CHAPTER 5: BACK TO THE PRESENT

"Calvin, you get your butt down here now!" Calvin's mom said. "Hey Calvin, I see your mom." Hobbes said who were still 24,000 feet in the air. Calvin looked down at his mom with his telescope. "We're in trouble." Calvin said in a low voice. Calvin got the time machine down too the ground. Once Calvin was in front of his parents, he zapped them with his new invention: the watchya ma call it 3000! "There!" Calvin said. "Now my parents won't remember a thing!" "Calvin, they watch the news everyday at 5:30 and we are going to be on the air." Hobbes said. "How are they going to forget when they are going to see the news everyday?" "Don't worry." Calvin said. "I took the TV out." Calvin got out a phone that had a lightning symbol on it. Calvin dialed the number 555-5551. "Hello? Yes. Look, just get out of my body please!" Calvin hung up. Moments later, Calvin's alter egos appeared. Calvin and Hobbes screamed. "You need to quit doing that!" Calvin said. "And you need to quit eating your mom's hamburger casserole!" Tracer Bullet said. He is a private eye. He speaks with a New York accent, and he is now drenched with food. "Now look, I'm doing a mission and I can't do it alone." Calvin explained. "So tomorrow, I want you to you to help me out. After all, 10 hands are better then one. Tomorrow, Calvin and Hobbes were in the time machine. Calvin's alter egos appeared…but this time, they appeared out of the time machine and they were in the sky. They fell down and started screaming for 15 seconds. Fortunately, Stupendous Man grabbed Tracer and Spaceman and they flew up to the time machine. "Boy, you gave us a heart attack!" Tracer Bullet said. "Don't you ever scare us like that again." "I'm so glad that you came!" Calvin said. "I already drowned people with noodles state to state, so USA…check. Next up, South America! Hang on to your honey buns, because this is going to be a bumpy ride!" The time machine went so fast, that the speedometer broke! They were faster than the speed of light! "Calvin, can't you slow down a little bit?" Tracer asked. "I think I'm going to heave!" Hobbes said turning green. "No time for restroom stops, guys!" Calvin said. "Can't this thing get any faster?" Stupendous said. "I CAN MAKE IT DO THAT!" Calvin said. "I was being sarcastic!" Stupendous said. Calvin made the time machine go faster, so fast that you can't see the time machine! Hobbes threw up. "Hobbes! That is just disgusting! Ya see? That's what happens when you eat that tuna special for lunch…that's a very weird color! Yuck! We are still not stopping!" "CALVIN, SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN! BY THE NAME OF BRUCE ALMIGHTY SLOW DOWN…!" "Do you guys really want me to slow down?" Calvin asked. "YES!" Everyone said at once. Calvin sighed and stopped the time machine. Everyone went to the bathroom.

After that, Calvin and Hobbes went back on their feet. "Here we go guys!" Calvin said, starting the time machine. Calvin slowed down. "Pick up the paste, Calvin!" Spaceman said. "Sorry guys, but I have to go slow now! Do you guys really want me to pick up the paste?" Everyone nodded their heads. Calvin went faster. "Gosh, make up your minds!" Calvin said. They were off to the next country.

I'll give you guys a hint…It's a country below North America. Good Luck! I'm not sure that this is not going to take that long to figure it out.
