Chapter three

Calvin looked in 786 doors, and Hobbes wasn't in any of those doors.

Calvin, Nick, and Susie walked up to the last door. It was gold.

"Ready?" Susie and Nick asked.

"Ready." Calvin said.

Hobbes has to be in that door.

Calvin jumped up, grabbed hold of the door knob, and gave the knob a very good twist. The door swung open. Inside the door was the beach.

There was Hobbes in the sand!

"Hey, I see Hobbes!" Susie asked.

"I'm going in!" Calvin said.

Calvin jumped inside. He wish he should've have done that. He ate the sand, literally. He spat the sand out.

"Hobbes has to be here somewhere." Calvin said.

He walked around the beach, hoping to see something orange.

Then, he saw a girl in a black bathing suit. She had blonde hair, and she was lying in the sun. Calvin walked up to the girl.

"Um, Hi. You didn't happen to see a tiger, did ya?"

"No. What did he look like?" The girl asked.

"Well, he's about 5'1", he's orange, has black stripes on his tail, and he stands on his feet. He's got 'Mandibles of Death'"

"Nope, sorry."

Calvin sighed.

There's no way he's going to find Hobbes in this beach.

Calvin spoke to 289 people in the beach, asking where his tiger was, but no one has seen him.

"Well, looks like Hobbes is gone for good." Calvin sniffed.

"Are you talking about that orange tiger?" A voice asked.

"Who said that?" Calvin asked.

"I did." The voice said.

Calvin turned around. He saw an old guy in black swimming trunks, sitting down in a red chair.

"You know where my friend is?" Calvin asked.

"Sure do." The old man rummaged through the basket he had next to him.

10 seconds later, he pulled out an orange tiger that was covered in sand.

"HOBBES!" Calvin snatched Hobbes from the old man's hands.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!"

After Calvin said that super fast, he left the beach.

Calvin jumped out of the beach. He slammed the door.

"You found him?" Susie asked.

"I sure did!" Calvin said.

"Calvin, what's the big deal? He's just a stuffed tiger." Nick said.

Calvin turned around and glared at Nick.

"He's not just a tiger, he my tiger. He's real to me. Maybe if you guys had a little faith, a little creativity, you would know that Hobbes is real, too."

Susie and Nick hung their heads.

"I guess you're right, Cal." Nick said.

"Yeah, me too. Hobbes was your life. Forgive us?"

"Well, let me hear you say that you're sorry in Japanese." Calvin said.

"CALVIN!"

"Alright, alright. I forgive you."

Everyone hugged each other.

"Welcome to the friend club, Hobbes." Nick said.

Nick was holding Hobbes.

Nick is looking into Hobbes' eyes. It's like he knows what Hobbes is saying.

"He's real! I know what he's saying!" Nick said.

"He's saying that he forgives me." Nick gave Hobbes to Susie.

Susie looked into Hobbes' eyes, too.

"He said to give me a belly rub." Susie said.

Everyone laughed.

Susie gave Hobbes a belly rub. She laughed.

"I guess he's really real to us." She said.

"C'mon, we have to study for that history test tomorrow." Nick said.

"Not so fast!" A deep voice said.

There was a vortex in front of the three of them.

"I'm here to take Hobbes away."

"No…No, not again! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE HIM, AGAIN!" Calvin yelled.

"You're too old for that thing. I'm taking him to a place where he's happy 'til his heart content." The vortex said.

Then, the vortex started sucking Hobbes into the vortex. Calvin was pulling Hobbes with all his might.

"NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Nick and Susie were helping Calvin. Susie was pulling Calvin and Nick was pulling Susie.

"HOBBES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Then, there was a big light coming out of the vortex that blinded the three of them, then everyone closed their eyes, and that was it. Dark.

I bet that scared you, huh? Please R&R! Last chapter on its way.
