Session:
Society thought they were small. They thought they were quiet. But really, it was the opposite. Because.. they were holograms that were robots that worked for the FBI! Society thought they were quiet because they haven’t been on lots of missions lately. Their names were Ana and Bob, holograms working for the FBI. But Ana had human hair and Bob had a human nose. But if they put their robot hand through their hair or nose, it would go through. So even their human features were holograms (but Bob still got human snot).
Chapter 1
The Platform
“The phone!” called Ana as she reached for the ringing phone.
“Gasp!” cried Ana.
“What?” asked Bob.
“Shhh!” screeched Ana.
“It’s the prime minister!”. “Prime minister?!” Bob yelled. “We haven’t had a call from her in WEEKS!”.
“Shhh!” Ana repeated. “Yep.”. “Yep.”. “No.”. “Ok.”.“Yes.”. “Bye.”. “What did she say?” Bob asked. “Planet ‘MaHdIiScOoL’ is getting invaded by GPS’s,(gigantic poisonous spiders) WSA’s (weird spider aliens) and DES’s (dinosaur eating spiders), Ana said with bravery.
“We're gonna need to stop them. To the platform!”.
Ana reached for the back door, and Bob ATTEMPTED to get off the couch (it didn’t work without Ana pulling and dragging him of the couch). What stood in front of them once they have opened the door was a silver gray platform. They pressed a button for the platform to move up to the rooftop. But something bad happened. Something that could happen ANYTIME but now.
“Seriously??!” Ana explained. “We’re out of petrol!”.
“Umm uhh…” Bob replied softly. “YOU,YOU,YOU FORGOT TO FILL IT?!”, Ana shouted.
“It was an accident!”, Bob replied louder than before. “I didn’t mean too. I’m sorry!”.
“Relax”, Ana mumbled. She swallowed down all her anger and replacing it with a smile. She pressed a button on her arm which showed a car with petrol coming inside it. What does it mean?
Chapter 2
The Gadgets
Soon, people reaching for petrol from petrol stations tried to grab it, but, it started flying. All of the closest stations in the area. In 5 colours: red, green, turquoise, blue and white. They flew to Ana and Bob. They appeared in front of Ana as spheres. Ana snatched the red one and put the others in jars. “We’ll use these for later”, Ana said, quickly. She used the red one and put it in a hole in the platform. The platform ZOOMED UP. Then, standing there, Ana and Bob were not surprised. They were used to this. But I’ll tell you what was there. And if you were there, you would see the things no one would ever see. You would hear the things no one would here. Standing, in front of your eyes, was a dragon.
The dragon had blue fire, purple scales and green eyes. He roared with excitement.
“Bob, your silly gadgets are useful now”, explained Ana. “Bring the translator!”
Bob jumped off the edge of the platform and went back in the house from the front door. He went to his room and open a draw that specifically said: 'GADGETS - Do not ever touch unless you are Bob’. He opened the draw and grabbed something that looked like a remote. It was a time rewinder and fast-forwarder. Basically, it complexly rewound and fast-forwarded time. He put it in his pocket just in case.
“Bob, hurry up! A world is dying, you know!”, Ana shouted.
“Coming!”, Bob said in his annoyed voice. He also grabbed a gun, sword and Bobby (his teddy bear) and put them in his LARGE pocket.
“Come on!!” Ana yelled. “Stop Ana. Just.. Stop shouting. It DOES NOT HELP!”. He grabbed his translator and went through the back door, pushed the button and the platform ZOOMED down. Again, he pressed the button, to come back up, but it stopped. “Oh no”, whispered Bob. “Oh no indeed”. “What’s wrong?” Ana asked. “The button won’t work!!” Bob shouted.
“Why isn’t it pressing?” screeched Ana, nervously. Bob opened the button. “You won’t believe this.”, Bob said with fear. “And you don’t want to know”. “Oh, but I DO wanna know. I do want to know before a whole planet gets blown into pieces!” Ana yelled.
“There’s.. no more petrol”, said Bob, thinking that Ana would kill him but really it was the opposite.
“Take”, said Ana. “They’ll do something, at least.
She threw the green, blue, turquoise and white petrol at him. He put the white one in. You see reader, the only one they should use for the platform is red. But now that reds gone, from the platform and the petrol stations (they used so much red fuel it ran out from all stations) they don’t have red to fix the platform. But they have other petrols for OTHER purposes. Will they work on the platform? Only time will tell.
Chapter 3
The Petrols
As the white petrol went through the hole, the floor switched from a floor to a trampoline! This would make it easy for Bob.
“Urgh”, Bob said. He had said this because the trampoline was not bouncing high enough to reach Ana and the dragon. Bob tried the turquoise one and the floor turned into cement. WET cement. “This was a HORRIBLE IDEA!” Said Bob. “HOW did I agree to this??”. Once he got unstuck, and Ana stop chuckling a tiny bit, he tried the blue one. It turned into cat poop. Lots of cat poop. Ana laughed out loud. Literally, she laughed so loud the whole neighbourhood might of heard her. Once he got out of the cat-astrophe, he tried his last one. Green. But when he put it in, it splattered out and wouldn’t accept the green. “Seriously?” Bob said. “This has to happen NOW?”. “What NOW??!”, asked Ana.
“I accidentally put my human snot through the petrol hole instead of the green petrol!”, Bob said.
“That’s why it’s not accepting the normal green petrol I’m now giving it!”. “The snot broke it!”.
“You.. I.. this.. you are the most annoying person I have ever met!!”, Ana said in a soft voice which got louder by the every single word she was saying. “Wait!”, Bob said. “Bobby!”. Bob took Bobby (his teddy bear) out of his pocket. Bob touched him on the head three times. His (Bobby’s) cotton eyes began to look around.
“Yellowtail sashimi”, Bobby said. He was still a baby, so he said random words. “Crevice current gale”, Bobby said.
Bob’s twp fingers held Bobby’s hand and Bobby jumped. High.
It got them both to the Dragon and Ana!
“Lagoon spider baby!”, Bobby blurted out. Bob tapped Bobby’s head three times and he deactivated.
“Lagoon spider baby..”, Bobby whispered. His eyes were now cotton, unmovable button eyes. Bob put Bobby back in his big pocket, and got out the translator. He pointed it at the dragon. The dragon roared. He said: ‘make me a sandwich!’. “Bob, do it.”, said Ana. “No thanks, I’ve lived through to much today!!”, Bob said.
“You do it, Ana”. “Urgh!”, Said Ana. “Fine”.
She jumped off the rooftop, to the front door. She stepped in the house and made a nice lahme sandwich. But the phone rang. Prime minister again. “Oh, sorry, umm.. we’re on our way!” Said Ana. “Who was that?” Called Bob.
“The prime minister again”, said Ana. “She wants to know where we are”.
Bob turned on Bobby again, and Bobby helped Ana climb from the front yard to the dragon platform. Once Bob turned Bobby off, they got to work.
Chapter 4.
The Discovery
The dragon ate the sandwich slowly and he roared: “Hop on”. The dragon bowed down and Ana and Bob gently climbed on. They pressed a button on their heads and suddenly their heads turned into invisible as well as their body. And arms. And legs. And hands. And feet. And fingers. And toes. And fingernails. And toenails. And skin. And other parts of the body I have not said because I probably don’t know or I probably don’t want to say. And also the dragon's head. It made him invisible. They all did this to hide their identities from the humans. The dragon roared with fire and flew in the sky. Up there, they saw the world. So much for small folk. It was easy to find the planet because it had a face of Mahdi on it. And it had green rings. Ana smelt barbecue. Then did Bob. But it was not barbecue. The smoke level got larger and higher and stronger. And.. the planet was on fire.
