Bakar and Ali was wearing their normal clothes in McDonalds for lunch. Ali was waiting for his uncle to get the food as he was sitting at a table for two. After around 5 minutes, Bakar came in with a tray and put it on the table and sat down in front of Ali.

"Yum yum. These food ain't gonna eat themselves ya know," Bakar said as he opened a plastic box with a fish fillet inside and savored on it.

Ali stared at him startled but when he knew that he won't get attention, he took a packet of fries and ate it one by one. His uncle finished the fish fillet in four bites and went for the next burger to eat. Ali watched him eat 3 burgers in a meal by himself, whilist he only ate 2 packet of fries.

They walked out from McDonalds about an hour later to the hot scorching sun and busy streets. Bakar unlocked his car as he and Ali hopped into it and buckled their seat belts. Bakar started the engine and they drove back to headquarters.

"Uncle, how do you think the floating island got here?"

"Hm...I think, maybe the island just want some time away from their parents, so it decided to have a vacation here to get some-"

"Unclee..." Ali said annoyed.

"Hehe, joking only ler."

They drove slowly in a dark back alley with garbage and boxes scattered everywhere. Then Bakar stopped his car at the centre of the alleyway. He clicked on his rear mirror and a screen with multiple buttons with captions and images came on. He clicked on a button with an image of two arrows going around, chasing each other and a caption sync.

Ali looked out of the glass with his hands opened over it as the perimeter of the ground they were over glowed blue and descended into a underground white tube.

"Wah...awesome..." Ali looked out to the bright tube they were traveling in.

It was a few seconds before they came into a brightly lit carpark. Each slot had a name imprinted on it and a pentagon-formed blue dome covering each parked car.

Bakar drove to his slot and a long machine with a scanner at its tip sprouted from the ceiling in front of his car and scanned his grinning face. The machine went back into the ceiling and a blue dome covered their car.

"OK," Bakar said as he took out his car keys from its slot. "Let's go."

He and Ali got out from the car and slammed the doors at the same time. Ali ran over to Bakar as they walked through the blue dome and headed to the elevator. Suddenly Bakar's phone rang, but he didn't seem to realise it.

"Uncle, your phone is ringing." Ali pointed to his pocket.

"Oh," he said. "Thank you."

He answered the phone and talked through it while walking. "Hi Jenny. Uh huh...OK. Bye."

He slipped the phone into his pocket. He and Ali stepped in front of two glass doors that leads into a room with an elevator in it. Ali stared at Bakar as he put his finger on a rectangular black shiny device at the doorframe. The device glowed briefly blue and the doors slided open. Both of them stepped into the room and waited for the elevator to come.

"What did Jenny say?" Ali asked.

"What? Oh. Sorry. I forgotten briefly to tell you. The robot has arrived."

Ali's face went surprised. "We need to hurry up and get up there, uncle!"

He ran to the elevator's button and pressed on it repeatedly. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon," he muttered.

The elevator rang and the doors slipped open. Ali rushed in to step on a platform in a blue tube and Bakar shuffled slowly to him but he was pulled by Ali onto the platform.
