Storm

Chapter 5

"Wait! Sharkboy, it is a hand."

"A hand?"

"Yep?"

"Another hand. It's Tobor!"

"Who?" I asked.

"Tobor. I dreamt him up when I was a kid, a that help me with my homework. I to him once. Everyone kept me he work."

"So here he is - a dream in the Graveyard." Sharkboy said with an impressed look.

"Maybe he can help us." Lavagirl said with a hint of hope.

"He's supposed to be very smart. Tobor, awake!" I saw the broken robot turn on right in front of my eyes.

"Yes?" It asked.

"He works! We can ask him anything now." Lavagirl really wanted to go first.

"Let me, let me! Tell me something about me. I'm clueless."

"Actually, you're extremely bright." It answered. Sharkboy was next.

"Am I the king of the ocean ,or what?" he asked rudely.

"No. Sorry." It responded. Sharkboy walked back to where he stood looking slightly sad.

"It's your turn, Storm." Max told me. I looked at everyone before walking towards Tobor.

"I have three questions actually. Number one, can you tell me anything about my family? What my life was like before I became this?"

"You shall find out eventually."

"Okay. Number two, Will I end up surviving after all of this?" I asked, but it gave me the same answer.

"You shall find out eventually."

"Max, what is with this robot? You said that we could ask it anything and it would answer."

"It's speaking the truth. You'll find out eventually."

"You know what's going to happen, don't you?" he stayed silent as I turned back around, facing Tobor.

"Number three, Am I evil?"

"No, you're not evil, but you do have a temper related to Sharkboy." I laughed at the thought.

"Wow. I got compared to Sharkboy. That's pretty low." I said in a sarcastic tone while I laughed.

"Hey!" He exclaimed.

"I'm kidding! Jeez, so serious." I said with a smile as I playfully nudged his shoulder. I went back to my place when I noticed that Sharkboy was looking at me with a smile on his face. I looked away from his face, swept my side bangs out of my face and blushed. Okay! You caught me. I like Sharkboy. He may have a temper and an attitude, but he's amazing in every possible way. Anyway, I saw Max walk towards Tobor with a serious face.

"How do I save Planet Drool?"

"The answer is in your dreams."

"You mean if I put him to sleep, he'll dream us out of this mess?" Sharkboy asked while holding a small pipe in his hand. Max turned around and Sharkboy quickly hid the pipe behind his back and gave him an innocent smile.

"No. At least, not here. Darkness is falling. Any dream of his will become a nightmare...And you don't want those to become a reality. But if you go to the Land of Milk and Cookies..." It responded.

"Of course! That's where the good dreams are. Where the answers are." Max exclaimed.

"It's perfect, Max. The Land of Milk and Cookies is a safe, sweet place. You'll be able to dream easily there." Lavagirl explained.
