Absol

Chapter one

It was dinnertime, and as usual, Mom was serving Calvin her famous, repulsive veggie glop that always made Calvin gag. Calvin sat next to Hobbes at the dinner table as always, avoiding the veggie glop.

Mom and Dad looked at Calvin.

"Should we tell him?" Mom whispered to Dad.

"We have to, honey." Dad whispered back.

Mom and Dad looked at Calvin again.

"Calvin, we have something to tell you." Dad said.

"What did I do?" Calvin asked, his eyes growing big.

"Nothing, sweetheart." Mom said.

Mom and Dad looked at each other again. Calvin gave Mom and Dad a quizzical look.

"Well, spill the pinto beans! Wheel of Fortune is coming on in five minutes."

"Sweetie, someone is going to stay here for a while." Mom said.

Calvin's eyes grew big again. He quickly jumped on the table, almost spilling food and drinks on the table.

"Calvin, get down right now!" Dad said.

"This instant!" Mom said.

"How could you adopt another kid? Ya already got me! 'Nuf said."

"We're not going to adopt your cousin, Calvin." Mom said. Calvin's mouth dropped.

"My cousin?" Calvin said.

"Yes, your cousin." Dad said.

"Now get off the table, so I can tell you the story of your cousin."

Calvin got off the table, and sat back down.

"Your cousin's name is Absol. Absol is four years older than you, but he's about your height. He also has a stuffed lion. Just like Hobbes, he's a stuffed animal."

"Hobbes is not a stuffed animal, he's real!" Calvin said, hugging Hobbes.

"Can't breathe…need air!" Hobbes choked.

"Anyway, since his parents are going cross country to make a documentary on trees, he's going to stay here for a year or so."

Calvin almost choked on his water.

"A year? I'll be old then! Why couldn't his parents take him with them?"

"Because they want Absol to go to school, and have a good education. Home schooling is expensive these days." Mom said.

Calvin crossed his arms, shrugging

"Hmph! Whatever. He can stay, but he's not sleeping in MY room! Ya hear me?"

Mom and Dad sighed.

"Come on, Hobbes. The television is calling our names." Calvin grabbed Hobbes, and he left the dining room. Mom gave Dad a disappointed look.

"He'll get used to the idea, honey." Dad said.

Mom sighed. "Maybe you're right, dear." She said.

Dad hugged Mom.

Meanwhile, In Burbank, California, there was a kid that is jinxed. Many people say that he's born with it. Some people say that he's a kid that was abducted by cursed aliens. We don't know how he got it, but every time when he talks to a person, or sees a person who is walking by, he will just think of bad luck for the person, and BOOM! That person has that bad luck.

Absol looks just like Calvin. He and Calvin are the same height, but Absol is 10 years-old, he has spiky hair, but the left side is black, and the other side is white. He also wears black pants, white short sleeved jacket, the left side of the jacket is black, and the other side is white.

He wears checkered wristbands, and black and white sandals. He also has a stuffed lion. The lion's name is Tragedy. Absol met Tragedy when Absol went fishing, and fished out Tragedy. Tragedy also causes major destruction every time he sees a person he doesn't like. Absol and Tragedy are in their room. Their room is dark, and always has been. Absol never turns on the light (He gets a migraine every time he turns it on), so Absol lights candles in his room. There is a candle next to Absol's bed, a candle next to Absol's computer, a candle on the windowsill, and a candle on a stool next to Absol's closet. Absol is sitting in the middle of his room. He speaks in a lifeless tone. Absol is also very cynical and mean. Anyway, Absol is sitting in the middle of the room. He's reading a book called HOW TO DIGEST RAW MEAT. Tragedy was sitting on Absol's bed.

"Absol, you have been reading that book for FIVE hours! Can we go to the mall now?" Tragedy asked in a lifeless tone.

"Be quiet. I'm still advising my book." Absol said.

"Isn't it cold down there?" Tragedy said again in a lifeless tone.

"I like the cold." Absol said coldly.

"You can't even see." Tragedy said.

"My mind can read the book." There was silence.

"Absol, how do you feel right now?" Tragedy finally asked.

SLAM!!

Absol slammed the book so hard that the room, and Tragedy, vibrated for 10 seconds.

"I was reading a book, and you interrupted my reading time, asking me how I'm feeling right now?"

"Well…yeah." Tragedy said.

"My parents are out of town, I'm living with a look a like cousin for a whole year, and then we'll be nice to each other and live happily ever after."

"Was that sarcasm?" Tragedy asked.

Absol ignored him. There was silence again. Absol looked at his watch.

"Come on. It's time to see my new family for a year." Absol walked over to the closet, and got out five suitcases.

"Let's go." Absol said, walking out the door and carrying the suitcases at the same time. Tragedy followed Absol.

Later, Absol and Tragedy were on a train. Absol looked out the window.

"Okay. Did you bring the schedule?"

"Yes I did." Tragedy said.

"Well, get it out, dumbbell!"

Tragedy got out the schedule, which was on a piece of crumpled paper.

"At 5:00, we meet your cousin and his family." Tragedy said.

"Yes, I know that. Keep going." Absol said.

"5:05 to 5:30, you'll be unpacking your stuff into the guest room."

"Come on, Tragedy! Skip the basic stuff! Read the good stuff." Absol ordered.

"Alright, alright. At 8:00, you will trick Calvin into opening your trunk."

"I'll be laughing my arse off when that happens!" Absol said.

"Then, we will cause disaster and destruction all over town, and then the world!" Absol and Tragedy were laughing hysterically.

Let's hope Calvin doesn't open Absol's trunk. Whatever is in Absol's trunk, it will make the town, and the world doomed.
