Metalnocchio

Chapter 1

Once upon a time, there was a mad scientist, named Geppetto. Geppetto was hated by almost everyone, because he made weapons for the government. One day, Geppetto got a letter in the mail that said, "Dr. Geppetto, will you please make us a robot killing machine disguised as a little boy. Sincerely, the government." Geppetto was very excited to get the letter.

Geppetto set off building right away. He built the body out of an old trash can that he had stolen many years before. He built the legs out of lightning rods that he "borrowed" from town hall. The arms were made from the hinge things on top of the door. Geppetto couldn't figure out what to make the head out of though. He searched for weeks, but couldn't find anything. He looked in the dump, he looked through stores, he checked house after house, looking for anything. But he couldn't find anything. Then one day he found it, the perfect head for a robot boy. It was, a paint bucket, with a giant tin ball stuck in it. For the eyes, Gepetto put in little glass balls with flashlights behind them, so that Pinocchio could see in the dark. Geppetto put every kind of weapon imaginable inside of Pinocchio so he could be used in war. Now all Geppetto had to do was paint it.

After Geppetto had finished building the robot, he invited the government officials over to see the robot. The government rejected it, because it didn't have a name, and it wasn't wearing clothes, so they left. Geppetto decided he wouldn't give up. He named the robot Pinocchio, and put clothes on it. He activated Pinocchio, but Pinocchio didn't act like a war machine, he acted like a little boy. Geppetto couldn't help but feel sorry that he was going to sell Pinocchio to the government, who was just going to give it to the military. He decided he wouldn't tell Pinocchio for a while, so that Pinocchio could live a normal life as a little boy.

For the next few weeks, Pinocchio and Geppetto did all the fun things, went to puppet shows, played games, watched movies, and even went to sporting events (which Geppetto had never been to before). Geppetto was having so much fun, and so was Pinocchio. They were on there way home from a puppet show when Geppetto remembered how he was going to sell Pinocchio. Geppetto decided to tell Pinocchio. As soon as Geppetto told Pinocchio, Pinocchio started crying, and ran.

Pinocchio ran as far as he could. He got to the docks and stopped, because he didn't know how to swim. He just stood there crying, and staring at the water, when he heard a small voice. He looked around, but couldn't see anything. Then the voice came again, Pinocchio looked down, and there standing in front of him was a little tiny grasshopper wearing clothes. Pinocchio as who the the grasshopper was, and the grasshopper replied,"I am your conscience, my name is Tolucan Grasshopper."

Meeting Tolucan made Pinocchio totally forget about his problems. Pinocchio and Tolucan went on a walk on the pier. On their walk, they met a man named Lying don. Lying Don told Pinocchio that if he wanted to be safe from Geppetto, that he had a way. Lying Don told Pinocchio that he had a boat that he could take to an island where Geppetto would never find him. Pinocchio thought that was a great idea. So Pinocchio, Lying Don, and Tolucan Grasshopper all set out for the island.

They arrived at the island at about ten o'clock in the morning the next day. The island was like a miniature paradise that Pinocchio didn't have to share with anyone but his conscience Tolucan Grasshopper. Pinocchio knew he was going to like it here. For the first few days, Pinocchio and Tolucan had a great time together. But then after that, Pinocchio got a little tired of being alone. On the sixth day that they were there, Lying Don came to the island and told Pinocchio that somebody had come to him and asked if he had seen a little robot boy running around. Pinocchio asked Don what the mans name was, and Don said that it was Geppetto. Pinocchio panicked, and decided that Geppetto must have had some kind of tracking device on Pinocchio. Tolucan told Pinocchio that the should probably move to someplace more hidden. The three of them were getting in the boat when they saw something in the distance. As the object got closer, they realized it was a boat, and Geppetto was in it. Pinocchio knew what was going to happen, so he started crying.

They watched Geppetto get closer, and closer when suddenly a giant megalodon shark jumped up and ate Geppetto and his boat in one bite. Pinocchio started doing a happy dance with Tolucan, while Lying Don clapped and stomped his feet. When they looked back out at the ocean, the saw the megalodon just swimming around on the surface of the water. Pinocchio thought that was kind of strange, but it would probably go back under the water soon.

For the next few days, Pinocchio and Tolucan Grasshopper just watched the megalodon swim around, still on the surface of the water. Pinocchio started to feel really bad for Geppetto just sitting in the nelly of that prehistoric beast. Tolucan told Pinocchio that they should help Geppetto.

While all of this was going on, Geppetto was just sitting inside the megalodon saying that if he ever got out he wouldn't sell Pinocchio to the military. He decided that he would make a decoy robot that didn't work, and sell it to the government instead. Geppetto had decided to turn over a new leaf and become a good scientist.

Pinocchio and Tolucan rowed the boat out to the megalodon. As soon as they got there, they froze, because they had no idea what they were going to do next. Pinocchio decided he was just going to dive right into the Sharks stomach. He jumped out of the boat, and into its mouth. Tolucan had no idea what to do so he just jumped in after him. When the two of them got to the throat, Pinocchio turned his flashlight eyes to one hundred percent brightness, and they started hiking. After what seemed like an eternity, they finally reached the stomach, and found Geppetto instantly.

When Geppetto saw them coming, he started jumping for joy, by this time, Geppetto looked like a hobo. He rowed what was left of his ship through the stomach acid, and made his way to Pinocchio. Geppetto arrived at Pinocchio, and gave him a big hug. Them all three of them started crying.

The first thing that Geppetto did when he got home with Pinocchio was made the fake,decoy robot and shipped it to the White House. This made Pinocchio as happy as a young robot could be. The next day two letters arrived in the mail, one for Pinocchio, and one for Geppetto. The one for Geppetto, he read aloud, and it said,"Dr. Geppetto, will you please make us a robot killing machine disguised as a little girl. Sincerely, the government." As soon as Geppetto read this letter, he turned it into a paper Boulder and burned it. Pinocchio decided he would read his letter too. Pinocchio opened it, looked at it for a minute, then got a big grin on his face, he then handed the letter to Geppetto and asked him to read it aloud. The letter was Pinocchio's adoption papers, saying that Geppetto had adopted him. Right at that very second, they all started doing the Macarena, because they were so happy. And they all lived happily ever after.
