Chapter 10

CHAPTER TEN What the cuttlefish is happening, Pablo?! This is not what I meant by a VACATION you know. Oh, you're not enjoying it? That's a pity, I've been having a WHALE of a time! Seriously though, what are all these dinosaurs doing here?

Don't you see, Splash?! The kind robot is a TIME MACHINE! Huh? First it took us towards the sun. Then it brought us back to the age of the dinosaurs! My guess is we've traveled back in time by about sixty- five million years! What?

So this isn't actually a VACATION? Not the way I think you mean it. No beach bar? No beach bar. No water slide? No water slide.

How about the mocktails? Splash, there are no mocktails in the Cretaceous period! What's a Crustacean period? Cretaceous, not Crustacean. Dinosaurs, not lobsters! So actually, you're telling me there's no hotel here. No water slide. No mocktails. No deck chairs. No nothing.

Well. I'm feeling quite flat now. Quite flat. Splash. Listen to me. I'm sorry that you're disappointed about the VACATION. But there is a much, MUCH more important point that you seem to be missing.

WE'RE SIXTY-FIVE MILLION YEARS AWAY FROM HOME AND OUR ONLY WAY TO GET BACK IS IN THE TIMEBENDER AND WHO KNOWS WHAT'S HAPPENED TO IT OUT THERE IN THE MEANTIME WITH ALL THESE DINOSAURS CHARGING AROUND AND I'M HOT AND I'M HUNGRY AND ALL I WANT IS A KRILL POP AND TO EAT IT WHILE SITTING DOWN QUIETLY ON SOME COLD ICE!!!! Can we please go home now?
