Hobbes, stared at the pot where Calvin had been, He looked around. "Calvin?" He asked again. He bent over looking at the spot where Calvin was sitting. "Hmm." He saw a rather large ant hill. "GASP! THE ANTS HAVE TAKEN CALVIN! DON'T WORRY CALVIN, I'LL SAVE YOU!" Hobbes then he kicked the anthill, and then started digging into the ground, faster and faster he dug, trying to save his best friend.

And then he realized that his arms were covered in RED ANTS.

"AAAAUUUHGGGHHH!" Hobbes yelled as he ran around in circles. "HELP HELP HELP HELP! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THESE THINGS COULD SURVIVE IN THIS CLIMATE! AAAUUGGHH!" HE then ran off towards the lake, and then jumped into it. The ants all died shortly.

Hobbes, came back up and then walked back up to the shore. "Okay, so Calvin is NOT in the ant hill." HE stood up and continued to look. "WHERE ARE YOU CALVIN!" It echoed across the mountain. "CALVIN! CALVIN! CALVIN! TUNA…!" Hobbes blinked. "I MEANT CALVIN ON THAT LAST ONE! …Though some tuna DOES sound pretty good…"

Meanwhile with Calvin, he was running for his life, trying to avoid getting caught by robots and ending up like Lou. "Gotta find a way out, gotta find a way out!" he kept telling himself, sneaking around a corner where he saw several doors marked 'Do Not Enter!'

…And, typically, that translated to, 'Take A Peek' for the six-year-old.

He ran up to the first door, opening it… to see some robots from Trasformers. "Autobots, Transform and roll out!" one of them announced, and they transformed into vehicles and drove off. Calvin blinked and shut the door.

He ran to the second one… where he saw Chester A. Bum sitting in front of a large TV. "OHMYGOD THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!" Chester was shouting. Calvin slowly backed away.

He ran to the third door, where he saw Batman and Robin standing at a cash register, with the Nostalgia Critic standing behind them. "A BAT CREDIT CARD!?" the critic snapped.

Calvin ran to the fourth door, where he saw Linkara, standing in a masculine pose. "I AM A MAN!" he declared, causing the six-year-old to arch an eyebrow.

He ran to the fifth door… and to his shock, found Shaggy in a bathtub. "LIKE ZOINKS!" He screamed, holding the shower-curtains in front of him. Calvin gasped and took off.

Calvin then ran to the sixth door, only to face the Joker. "People will die, starting tonight." he said darkly. Calvin screamed and slammed the door in his face.

Now, the next door caused great confusion for Calvin, for when he opened it, he saw the authors at a computer. "…All we have to do is convince Mickey Mouse to let us be security guards, and then we can start the fic." WG was saying.

"Sounds good to…" Fanatic was saying, until he noticed Calvin. "Hey, beat it, Cal! You're breaking the fourth wall, here!"

"Sorry!" Calvin said, and took off.

He then ran to the eight door, where he saw Snoopy flying his doghouse, dressed as a pilot. "CURSE YOU RED BARON!" the dog seemed to be 'saying' (without moving his lips, like what Garfield does), while shaking his fist. Calvin shook his head, confused, and took off.

He ran to the ninth door, where he saw Phineas and Ferb. "Hey Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!" Phineas was saying.

"This is getting ridiculous." Calvin told himself, then opened the tenth door…

…finding the Smurfs! "la, La, La, La, La, La, Sing a happy song." they were singing.

"AUGH! ENOUGH WITH THE CAMEOS, ALREADY!" Calvin screamed…

…realizing he just drew the attention of a couple robots. "You! Stop right there!" one of them shouted.

"Gah!" Calvin, of course, only ran away.

"Hey, X-9-3, why do people always shout 'Stop Right There', even though they know the person isn't going to listen?" the other robot asked.

"Shut up and just chase the kid!" The first robot snapped, and they ran after Calvin.

The six-year-old looked around for a room that he could run in- maybe if he was lucky, Justin Bieber would be behind one of them and the robots would want to kill him instead- but he noticed that all the doors had vanished. What happened? Was it all just an illusion? he thought, figuring his sudden panic had caused his mind to go quirky, but with the robots after him he decided to think more of it AFTER he got out of there.

There's got to be a way out… but where?! WHERE?! WHERE, I SAY! he thought frantically… passing a tunnel marked 'Exit'. "Oh." he ran down it, finding a ladder and climbing out a hole in the woods, ducking into some bushes as the robots climbed out, looked around, then split up to search for him. "I've got to find Hobbes and get away from this place!"

"Sir, we have a problem." One of the robots said to a mysterious figure sitting at the machine.

"It had better be one that's easily manageable." the figure rasped.

"Well, a boy somehow ended up in the lair. We chased after him, but we lost track of him when he got back into the woods."

"FIND HIM, THEN, YOU MECHANICAL FOOL!" the sound of the figure's bellow was enough to rattle the robot's circuits. "We cannot let anyone know our secrets! It's bad enough I have to brainwash those counselors once a week, we can't have some kid running around telling everyone what he's seen!"

"But, our resources indicate no one ever believes his tales. Not even the other kids."

"There are some who may believe him. …Who was the boy, anyway? Derek?"

"Um, no sir… it was that 'Calvin' boy. He's to go home with his parents today, and they're almost done touring the camp."

"Oh, he won't be going home with his parents… Send in the replacement, and make sure you bring Calvin to me."

"Yes sir."

Back with Hobbes, he was still searching for Calvin. "Calvin… calvin… cal…vin… vincal… nivlac… marco… polo…" the tiger was wheezing now, exhausted from searching high and low. He sat down on a log, sighing. "Where could he be?"

"Searching for someone, pussycat?"

"GAH!" Hobbes leaped out of his stripes at the sound of the voice, turning around to see a large black wolf… which had a burst seam by its ear, one bright yellow eye (the other missing), and one of its paws was replaced with a wooden one. "Who are you and… good heaves, what happened to you?"

"The name's Lobo. I've been lost in these woods for years- my owner was sent to some camp, and they took me away from him and tossed me out here. What's your name?"

Hobbes was picking up his stripes and putting them back on. "H-Hobbes. A friend of mine was sent to camp too. We ran away, but he's disappeared."

"Mm. You came to the wrong side of the woods, El Tigre. There's more troubles in this part than there is at the camp. The safest place is on Mt. Magine, where they take them every year to see how strong their imaginations are… apparently, one kid's imagination was so strong, it started to rain chocolate."

Hobbes scratched his head. "Wait, why do they want to see how strong their imaginations are… and what would it have to do with chocolate rain?"

"You must not know too much about Camp WACK. Let me fill you in- every year a bunch of kids are sent to that camp, and every so often a bunch of robots take a kid into some tunnel. I tried going in it myself… which is how I lost my paw. I never found out what they do to those kids- all I know is, once they come out, their drained of creativity, turned into well-behaved zombies. Just saw them taking away a boy who loved to read fiction- now he's carrying encyclopedias." Lobo looked eastward. "Mt. Magine is the only place the robots can't go… something about there being a sacred 'resting place' at the top or something."

Hobbes gasped. "I got to find Calvin! We've got to get out of here!"

"Then let me give you some advice. One: Avoid any kids with a blank look in their eye, they might rat you out. Two: Don't bother going to adults for help, they don't know we're alive anyway. Three: Get to Mt. Magine, and don't look back."

"Thanks." Hobbes turned.

"Hold it, Hobbes. A couple more things- Don't get too attached to your friend…"

"Why not?"

Lobo shrugged. "Because one of these days… he won't be able to see you anymore. It happened to me and my first owner, before I met a new kid. When it happens, all they see you as some toy."

Hobbes sneered. "I guarantee you that Calvin will never just see me as a toy. Now what's that other thing you wanted to tell me?"

"Simple. Get off that anthill you're standing on." With that, Lobo ran off.

"What…?" Hobbes looked down, seeing that he was now covered with ants! "YAAAAAAAH! GET THEM OFF GET THEM OFF GET THEM OFF!"

Meanwhile back at the camp, The consoler had finished showing Mom and Dad Around the camp, and was now leading them back to the office, to sign Calvin out, despite dad Complaining and saying that Calvin should stay at camp so he could grow more Character.

"all I am saying is that Calvin needs a little more time up here so that way he can build even more character until he has calmed down!' He defended himself.

The Consoler turned to him. "Well we would, but ever since the Hamster incident,"

"What hamster incident?" Both Mom and Dad asked. As if to answer a janitor walked by mumbling about some Hamster guts that were stills staining the window. The Consoler turned back to mom and Dad and Grinned. "So, shall we get the sign out started?" He asked. Both Mom and Dad nodded in agreement, as they went to the office to sign Calvin out.

Calvin ran for his life in the woods. He had no idea where he was going all he knew was that he had to get back to the camp, find Hobbes and go home right then and NOW!. Only Problem was…he was lost.

"HELP!"

He shouted. It echoed Everywhere.

"HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP, COOKIES AND MILK!" Calvin blinked. "I MEAN HELP!" His echo called back. "I feel like we have done this joke before." Calvin said to himself. Just then, a robot crashed through the Underbrush.

"THERE HE IS LADS GET HIM!" He called out. "AHHH!" Calvin yelled and he toke off after him. One robot looked at the other one. "WH DO YOU KEEP SHOUTINGS THINGS LIKE THAT AND CRASHING AROUND!?"

The other robot looked at him and said calmly, "Because it adds to the drama of the trailers. " His companion responded by…shooting his head off, with his arm cannon. "I never liked that guy." "that was pretty harsh man." Said another bot

The Decapitated robot's head called out, "HEY BODY GET OVER HERE AND PUT ME BACK ON!" "Wait,. Why am I shouting I'M THE PART WITH AUDIO RECPTORS!"

The lead robot faceplamed while another robot narrated, "Audible Face palm."

Meanwhile, Calvin had LONG since escaped the Robots and was now running, screaming, screaming and running, and tripping and falling and falling and tripping.

At Very long last Calvin finally reached a clearing. "Whew," He breathed. "I should be safe here." "CALVIN!" A voice cried. "AH!" Calvin yelled and leapt up, grabbing onto a tree branch. He looke4d down to see, "Sally, what are you doing out here?" "What are you doing hanging off of a tree branch?" "Oh this, it's um, my safety branch, it helps me sleep without Hobbes, and it is perfectly strong."

Right when he said that the branch broke off and Calvin fell to the ground. He stood up, then glared and pointed at her. "What are you doing out here, are you going to rat me out?"

"Nope, in fact I am planning to escape to." "Really why?" "Have you seen the camp?" "point taken." "So what were you running from?" "You wouldn't Believe me If I told you."

Sally stared at him then sighed. "Robots?" "robots, how did you know." "it's happened to me before, they have tried to brainwash me, but they failed each time." "Why?" I don't know exactly but the machine kept breaking down. , anyway, I was heading to Mt. Magine, want to join me?"

Calvin thought it over in his head. Go with a girl and deny things related to G.R.O.S.S and possibly lose your title, or get…whatever by Killer Robots. The sound of Crashing trees and weapons fire coming at them ended Calvin's Thought Process.

"Yeah let's go." He said and they both raced off down one of the Trails. As they did something in Calvin's mind kept saying, IT'S A TRAP!, but Calvin ignored it as they ran down the Trail.
