Chapter three

"Where do you think Absol is now?" Hobbes asked, as he and Calvin are running across the street.

"He's on Horror Blvd. We have to hurry!" Calvin said quickly.

Calvin and Hobbes were now running on the other side of the street. Horror blvd. was straight ahead.

"Look! There he is! I see him!" Hobbes said.

They stopped running for a second to look at Absol and Tragedy. They were standing on the corner of Horror blvd, and they were 30 yards away from Calvin and Hobbes.

"Absol! There they are!" Tragedy said, tugging on Absol's shirt.

Absol turned around and saw Calvin and Hobbes in front of him. Absol didn't say a word as he grabbed Tragedy, and ran across the street.

"AFTER HIM!" Calvin said. Calvin and Hobbes ran after Absol.

They ran across the street, a blue convertible almost hitting them. The convertible honked as Calvin and Hobbes were no longer on the road. The four of them were still running.

"Next time, look both ways before we cross the street!" Hobbes said, panting.

"I didn't see you do it, peanut brain!" Calvin said.

"We have to catch up to Absol! Where the heck is he going?"

"How should I know? We're a couple of miles behind him!" Meanwhile, Absol and Tragedy were running from Calvin and Hobbes.

"Where are we going?" Tragedy asked.

"Must…you…ask…questions…fur head?"

"Well…yeah."

"Be quiet." Absol was almost out of breath.

"Where are we going again?" Tragedy asked.

"We're going to that haunted mansion!"

"You mean the haunted mansion that is 2 minutes away?"

"Exactly."

"Why are we going there?" Tragedy asked.

Absol stopped next to a bush that was located 2 inches to the right. He and Tragedy jumped into the bush.

"Ok…you know that ball Calvin opened, and my powers are released?"

"Yeah." Tragedy replied.

"Well, my power is not fully release yet. I was born in a haunted house in Connecticut for some reason…and every time I go into a creepy house, it makes me calm…so I was thinking that If I go into that haunted mansion, I will get calm. Then, once I inhale the haunted mansion air, it will mix with the little green balls in my stomach, and then my power will really come to effect!"

"Absol, you are a genius." Tragedy said, shaking Absol's hand.

"Thank you…and don't you forget it." Absol scratched his black and white hair.

"ABSOL! Where are you, you liar!" That was Calvin.

"Calvin!" Tragedy whispered.

"Shut up and get down!" Absol whispered as he pushed tragedy's head down.

Absol and tragedy couldn't see Hobbes' head, but they saw Calvin's angry face.

"Just wait until I find him….oh, he's going to get it!"

"He's probably beginning to destroy our town now." Hobbes said.

Calvin gasped.

"I think I know where he is…Follow me, quick!"

Calvin and Hobbes ran across, ran straight across the street for a few miles, and then turned right.

Absol and Tragedy got out of the bush.

"I'm not going to do that yet, but soon, I will…soon."

"You got that right." Tragedy said. He was about to hug Absol, but Absol took a step away from Tragedy, and tragedy fell to the ground and fell flat on his face. He moaned in pain.

Absol shook his head.

"Tragedy, this is no time to eat the concrete…we got a world to destroy!"

Tragedy helped himself off the ground. His face was fuzzy, and filed with a little bit of dirt and rocks.

Tragedy brushed the dirt and rocks off his face.

"Now, let's go take over the world." Tragedy and Absol walked over to each other and accidentally bumped into each other in the head.

Absol flew 30 feet to the right side of Tragedy and landed in the bushes across the street, and Tragedy fell to the ground

Absol got out of the bush and Tragedy got up helped himself off the ground...again.

"HEY!" Absol's lifeless voice has turned into an angry voice...with emotion! He rarely uses his voice that way.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT, YOU STUPID LION?!"

"You started it." Tragedy shot back, pointing a finger at Absol.

"I DID NOT! YOU WERE THE ONE THAT STARTED WALKING!"

That's when Absol lost it.

"YA KNOW WHAT, TRAGEDY? YO M-"

"HEY, HEY, HEY! NOT IN FRONT OF OUR READERS!" Tragedy warned.

Absol looked at the readers.

"There, you saw us...now, get out."

"HEY! We're suppsoed to take over the world, remember?"

Absol stopped looking at the readers and looked at Tragedy with a evil look.

"I know that...so let's go to that haunted house already!"

Absol and Tragedy raced across the street...and that's where the haunted house is located.
