Universal (An OSC story)

Chapter 3

"Pawn," I yelled, shocked. "Yes. It's me. I found out how you got here and then I replicated it. I mastered inter-dimensional travel and then found you. I'm here to get you back," Pawn said to me. "But how do you master inter-dimensional travel? How did you build this," I asked. Pawn laughed. "I didn't build this. This building was already broken down, so I just hid in here until you came. I knew you would come eventually, because I was spying on you ever since you left the apartment," Pawn said. I was getting extremely sleepy, so I checked my countdown. I had 11 hours left, so I could get 9 hours of sleep. "Alright, I'm really tired, so I'm going to hit the hay for a couple hours. Maybe 9," I said. I laid down, and so did Pawn. "Heh. I didn't know inter-dimensional travel could make you so tired," Pawn said sleepily. She yawned. We laid down and slept. 9 hours later, we woke up. "Alright! No time to waste! Let's get out of here," I shouted. Pawn opened up a portal, even though it took her 15 minutes. We jumped through and we traveled through for about an hour. We jumped out in some sort of hub. "This is the Portal Hub. Once you master inter-dimensional travel, then you can go here anytime you please. But you have to be a pro at inter-dimensional travel and I learned it from the very best," Pawn explained. I mustered all the strength I had and said two words. "Teach me," I said. Pawn turned to me. She grabbed my hand and we jumped through the portal that lead back to the object universe. "Ok. So basically you have to travel up Mount Rigmo and find the person living at the top. He is an immortal being who will tell you how to travel inter-dimensionally," Pawn said. "But it must take time to master it right," I asked. "Oh my god! Yes! It took me a month," Pawn said, annoyed. "But I wasn't even here for a day," I yelled. "Hmm," Pawn muttered. "Time must travel slower in the world you were in," Pawn figured. We arrived in the object world. A day passed as I gathered the gear to climb Mount Rigmo. I was ready. Pawn gave me a thumbs up. I started. It took me a long time and I almost ran out of oxygen. I made it though. I knocked on the door to the house on the top. "Hello. It is me. My name is Coffee Mug," Coffee Mug said. "Who is there," Coffee Mug asked. I was even more shocked from when I saw Pawn in the other world. "Coffee Mug? It's me, Envelope," I yelled. "Envelope," Coffee Mug asked. "I didn't know you were an immortal being," I shouted. "Come inside," Coffee Mug told me. We went inside the house, but it was much bigger than what it looked like on the outside. "It's been a year since you left," Coffee Mug said. "Wow. Time travels MUCH faster in the human world," I muttered. "Anyway, I'm here to learn how to master inter-dimensional travel," I said. Coffee Mug put her hands on my shoulders. "I will teach you," Coffee Mug told me.
