CHAPTER 12: WOW!
The next day, Calvin was looking for food when he saw an airplane with a skeleton inside the airplane.
Calvin screamed.
Calvin's alter egos and Hobbes came running to where Calvin was at.
"Thank god you guys are here! Look at this!"
Everyone looked at the airplane with a skeleton in it and they gasped.
"Is this Amelia…"
"It is, Tracer." Calvin said.
"Does anyone have a computer?"
"I have a laptop." Tracer said.
"Perfect. I'm going to look something up."
10 minutes later, Calvin finally found a story about Amelia Earhart.
"It says here that she was born in 1897, but she went missing in 1937."
"What happened to her?" Hobbes asked.
"Well, she was the first woman ever to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1937, she wanted to fly around the world, but she didn't make it."
"Well what happened?" Spaceman asked.
"Well her plane ran out of fuel and that was it. Some say that she fell into the ocean."
Everyone looked at the airplane with the skeleton in it once more.
"Now we know how she died! Her plane must've run out of fuel, so her plane landed on an uncharted island. She couldn't find any food and she died days later! Did you guys know that her death is one of the mysteries of the 20th century?"
"No." Hobbes said.
"This is great! If people find out that we found her plane, they'll have to put it in the museum! We'll be rich! We'll be in the news and magazines!"
"You know, Calvin here has a point." Tracer said.
"For a nimrod."
"Thank you. Hey!"
The next day, since they are on an uncharted island and they can't make it to Antarctica, figure out why.
They are going to have to go back home.
"But what about the airplane?" Calvin said.
"I'm sorry Calvin, but there are more important things than being rich." said Tracer.
"Besides, the airplane is too big to put in the time machine."
Calvin got inside the time machine.
"Okay guys. Let's go home." Calvin said as calmly as he could be.
Calvin was sad when he left the airplane, but as Tracer said: "There are more important things than being rich."
"I was about to swim in all that money." Calvin said.
Tracer patted Calvin on the back.
"Hey, life isn't always fair, kid." Tracer said.
Calvin hesitated, but finally, he said, "I guess you're right, Tracer."
Suddenly, Calvin looked at Tracer.
"I have a question, Tracer. How much money do you make for being a detective?"
"$250 million dollars a week. Why do you ask?"
Suddenly, Tracer knew what Calvin was trying to tell him.
"The answer's no." Tracer said.
"C'mon! Just give me $450 dollars?"
"No." Tracer said.
"H…"
"No."
"B…"
"No."
"But Tra…"
"Boy, If you don't shut up, I'm going to kick your…"
"Come on."
"No."
"Come on!"
"No."
"Come OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN…"
"No, No, and no!"
"SHUT UP, BOTH OF YOU!" Hobbes said.
"Don't make us turn the time machine around!" Spaceman Spiff said.
So Tracer and Calvin were silent the whole trip.
Hope you liked it! Chapter 12 is coming soon!
