The 13th Chapter..... Ch. 13: An Inventor's Last Stand...
Tim and Earl lead the breadboats further away from the island. They used the ratbirds to know where the food will fall. Tim slowly looked to the sky and whispered," Fran, have mercy for your son..."
Inside the Meat-A-Roid, Flint stared at the place. Sam checked her Doppler. The signal was so weak that it couldn't work. "It's the Meat-A-Roid. It's just so big....."
Brent stared at the mashed up food. "
WHERE are we?"
Flint stared at some
brocolie and said," I don't know. But I think I lost my appitite..."
Suddenly, there was a crash. Everyone slowly looked back. Manny crashed the Car....or Steve...
"
WHAT HAPPENED?!" Flint asked.
Manny was holding his face as if he were in pain. He said "
ESE MONO LO ISO! ME ROMPIO EL BIGOTE! That monkey did it! He ripped off my mustache!!!!"
Steve looked as proud as ever.
Flint said," OKAY!...........Wierd.....huh?" He walked further down into the tunnel. The tunnel seemed to get smaller and
smaller." I see a hole in the ground. But I'm not so sure if it'll lead me to the
."
The
knew Flint was inside. "NOT POSSIBLE" It said. It sucked in some water-
"Flint..." Sam said in a quavery voice. "What's that smell?"
Manny sniffed the air and answered," It smells like.....peanuts....."
Sam gasped and fainted. Flint glanced at her. "
SAM!" He got on his knees and patted her on the face. Some sentient peanuts closed in. Flint looked up and angrily yelled "GET AWAY FROM MY FIANNCE!"
Steve tried to run off, but got surrounded by peanuts. Manny looked at Sam and tried to wake her up when a peanut knocked his hat off!
Manny stared at the peanut with an angry look on his face and said "No one......NO one knocks mi
goro of me!!!!!!" He then kicked every peanut alive!
"GO NUTCRACKER!" Flint yelled.
"That sounds wrong," Brent murmured.
"You
THINK wrong!" Flint said.
When Manny was done, he put his hat back on dramatically. Flint and Brent stared at him and gaped. "I'm also a Sensei, or Kung Fu teacher."
Flint just stood there. Suddenly, he was 16, then 18, then 20! Sam suddenly woke up.
"How's it that you're suddenly awake?" Flint asked.
Brent answered," Maybe when she was hurt, the process of us getting older cured her. So if we're hurt, and we change, we're cured!"
Flint, Sam, Manny, and Steve stared at him. "Wow..."
The tunnles were smaller. They were so small, that they
ALL couln't fit. The light of Flint's torch turned off. Flint got another
marshmellow and lit it up. Then he shuddred....
.....for the
was infront of him...
"Mommy have mercy..."Flint whispered. The machine attacked Flint with a corn cod (again). Then it looked at Sam.
"FLINT! NOW!" Sam yelled.
Flint jumped on top of the
and got on the handles. The machine's light reveled the
WHOLE place. An
octapus-like hole was wiggling. Flint quickly brought out his Spray-On Shoes and.....and......and......"I-I-I......RAN OUT!"
"WHAT!!!!" Everyone yelled.
The
controlled some spagetti and detached itself from the white funnel. "I didn't know it could do that..." Flint mumbled. Suddenly, the spagetti wrapped around him!
"TAKE ME INSTEAD!!!!!" Sam yelled. The
dropped Flint and looked at Sam. It then said *
PEANUT BRITTLE!*
Flint ran to Sam as he yelled
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! He pushed her away as the machine shot the brittle. He felt an odd pain, but he thought it was the gravity that pulled him down when he pushed Sam.
Steve looked behind the machine and saw...*
GUMMYBEARS!* He jumped to the
and tore it apart! Everyone stared at the monkey in awe.
Sam felt queasy in her stomache. Brent and Manny felt queasy too. Then Steve too! Flint felt more pain in his stomache and weakly said "LET'S GO!"
Steve then thought *TIME ON BOARD!*
Sam glared at Steve. "YOU PUT THE TIME MACHINE IN THE CAR!?"
Flint thought for a moment. If the time machine could change 25 year-olds into kids, could it change a falling, water-made Meat-A-Roid into water again? Flint pressed the big
red button yelling "DUCK!" Everyone ducked and avoided the vortex that reversed the food back into water. Flint noticed that his engagment ring was missing. He looked for it and looked down to Earth...
....Tim noticed the ratbirds flew
back to the island. Tim's eye's widened and he yelled," EVREYONE! BACK TO THE ISLAND!"
Earl yelled "ARE YOU CRAZY!?!" He noticed something falling from the sky. "ROW THE BOATS TO THE ISALND......
QUICKLY!!!"
The tremendous amount of sky water was miles above the Atlantic. Flint tried to turn on the Car, but it wouldn't! He tried even harder. As soon as the water hit the Ocean, the Car kissed the water and was airborn!
They landed the Car on the island that looked like a
GIGANTIC feast. People cheered!. Sam felt 22, then 24! But....Flint?
Sam looked behind her and saw Flint laying on the floor, as if he were dead. "OH FLINT!!!!" Everyone stopped. Sam sat near him and checked him. He was moaning. Wait.....there was a small
red stain on his shirt. HE GOT STABBED BY THE BRITTLE! "Flint?" Sam asked. Flint coughed a few times. "Thank goodness you're not coughing up blood......you saved my life..."
Flint looked at Sam mournfully. "I did it....for...you..." His breathing became more labored. "......I......I....." He brought out his hand and gave Sam something. It was a ring.
Sam'a eye's started to tear up. "Flint....you can FIGHT this!" She got close to his face. Steve expected something. He knew only one more year was left for the time machine to wear off. The last thing that happened was the kiss. Sam actually did kiss him. But.....
Manny checked him. He the slowly looked at Sam and slowly shook his head. Sam whimpered. "No....NO! Flint! WAKE UP! WAKE UP AND TELL ME YOU'RE FINE!!!! FLINT!!!!!!........" She sobbed. "I......I....accept your preposal.......I love you....."
