-Chapter 4- Angel Cube: Time to wake up, sleepyheads! Blue Cube: AHHH!! What-where-when-who-why?!?!?!? Huh? Oh, it’s just you, Angel Cube! What time is it? Angel Cube: 79,006,735 cusonds. Or in human time, 9:31 AM. Blue Cube: That’s… pretty early. Purple Cube: Where’s Orange Cube? Angel Cube: I don't know, he woke up early talking about cheese. Purple Cube: Umm… what? That sounds… Green Cube: He’s a chef. He’s in the kitchen right now cooking. Blue Cube: How do you know? Green Cube: I don’t sleep. I only close my eyes to rest, but I am still awake and alert to protect you. Blue Cube: Yeah, but why? It’s not like dinosaurs are gonna come back to life and eat us. Green Cube: But there can still be thieves, or even lions. Blue Cube: We’re in a human city! There are no lions! Purple Cube: Let’s just go see what Orange Cube is making. (all go out of room) Orange Cube: Oh, hi guys! I’m making yet another recipe that was in my dreams! Blue Cube: You dream about new recipes? Orange Cube: Yup! (sizzling noises) (pan noises) Purple Cube: How? Green Cube: (laughs) You really like to cook! (John comes out of bedroom) John: Oh, wow! You’re awake already! Orange Cube, you’re making food again? It smells good! Orange Cube: Yes! I just need one more minute. John: So, how is it like in your world? Green Cube: It’s nice! Pretty much the same with the plants, and the sky, and the sun, but the building style and animals are different. Also, there are no cars, just floters. (/ˈfləʊtə(r)/) John: Floters? What are those? Green Cube: They are round machines that can hold up to 4 cubes, and like buses, they have their own stations, except that floters float above everything, drop you off, and go back to their station. John: Wow! (sizzling noises) Orange Cube: Done! Here’s steak avec fromage a la cube! Purple Cube: What does that mean? Orange Cube: It’s a secret, just like the recipe. (smirks) Purple Cube: Whoa. John: What are we waiting for! Let’s try it! (takes a bite) Mm-mmmm… MMM! SO GOOD! IT HAS THAT ORIGINAL FLAVOR! AMAZING!!!!! (Green Cube’s phone rings) Blue Cube: It’s Pink Cube. (throws phone to Green Cube) Green Cube: Ouch. (responds) Hi, what do you need? Pink Cube(through phone): Green Cube! Blue Cube! ALL OF YOU! YOU LEFT THE CAMPFIRE ON! WHERE EVEN ARE YOU RIGHT NOW? DO YOU KNOW THAT EVERYTHING CAN BURN DOWN WITH JUST THIS CAMPFIRE? Green Cube: There- there is a water bucket literally right next to the campfire. Pink Cube: Oh, ok. Bye! Oh, wait! I also bought this very nice hat! It only cost 10,000 cubecoins! Green Cube: Ten… thousand? With what money? Pink Cube: I don’t know, it was a little blue credit card someone left at the dinner table. It’s blue and green. Green Cube: That’s mine! I guess I forgot to put it away. (Sighs) How am I ever gonna pay this debt! Pink Cube: Don’t worry, I also bought that new PS5 with 10 extra controllers and 10 extra games! Green Cube: (gasps in awe) Oh, ok! You can use it! Buy whatever you want! Buy 20 hats if you want!!! Bye!!!! (hangs up) Blue Cube: DID YOU HEAR THAT? Purple Cube: YESS!!!!!! WE ALL DID!!!! Orange Cube: Ohh!!!! Green Cube, Purple Cube, Orange Cube, Blue Cube: THE PS5 WITH 10 CONTROLLERS AND 10 GAMES!!!!!!! John: How much is a cubecoin anyways? Angel Cube: About… 2 dollars. John: That means she used 20,000 dollars! Plus the PS5! Green Cube: Yeah, but I might find a way to pay all of it. John’s mom: (comes out of bedroom) Hi! You’re awake already? On a Saturday? What kind of miracle is this? You should be doing the same for school, you know. John (laughs nervously): Yeah… John’s mom: Oh, Orange Cube, cooking again, I see. Let’s eat then! Orange Cube: Alright, 8 plates for everyone, and 7 extra for Green Cube. 15 coming right up! (sizzling noises) (metal and pan noises) (more sizzling noises) John’s mom: I still can’t believe we’re friends with aliens we’ve never known before. John: Anyways, how are you going to get back to your home? You said you got here through a… portal? Green Cube: Right. We’re thinking of rebuilding the portal. John: How? It was literally a flaw in space-time that coincidentally connected our two planets. Blue Cube: That’s what we don’t know! We don’t know what or who caused it, or how it is possible! John’s mom: Hey, John. How is it that you know about quantum physics but can’t higher than a C in P.E.? John: Mom, physical education is different from science! P.E is just not my thing! Science is better. Plus, this is serious. We have to help them! John’s mom: Wow, you don’t even like greeting strangers, now you’re helping aliens? What a change of heart! I’m so proud of you! John(annoyed): MOOM! Purple Cube: (laughs)
Green Cube: I think we should explore this world more. Who knows what we could find? We could find someone that can help us rebuild the portal! Or I don't know, have a little bit of fun out there. Orange Cube: And discover new ingredients for my recipes! Green Cube: Exactly! Blue Cube: B-but there could be dangerous people out there! Not everyone is nice and kind! Purple Cube: Come on, Blue Cube, stop being paranoid. Blue Cube: Fine. Angel Cube: Not a bad idea. Green Cube: Alright then, what are we waiting for? (all the cubes leave house) (start walking in streets) (2-second delay) Blue Cube: Ooh, is that a candy shop? Orange Cube: What about that grocery store? Bet I can find plenty of new ingredients for my recipes! Green Cube: Look at that computer store as well! They sell computers, gaming keyboards, mice, and headsets!!!! And even the programmer-o-gadget thingy! Purple Cube: Calm down, Green Cube. But you’re right, there are lots of things! Angel Cube: Do you find anything useful to our adventure? Green Cube: Oh, yeah… We could find someone. Angel Cube: But there is no historical evidence that any human has performed such a complex event, in this case traveling through space-time, or has had the knowledge of doing said thing. Purple Cube: Well, you’re right, Angel Cube, but we could find like, another cube or something? There’s always a chance for something! Blue Cube: Another cube being in this planet? You might as well say that that chance you’re talking about is negative. Purple Cube: Ugh, ok. Green Cube: Blue Cube: Remember that time you lost your diamond of blue light? You said you were never going to find it anymore, but 2 years later, you found it, and you have it with you, meaning a chance is never zero. Blue Cube: Well, yes, but- I mean-… fine. Ooh, another candy shop! This one sells extra sugar for 10 extra cents! Purple Cube: With what money? All we brought were 100 CubeCoins, and there’s no way we can turn that into dollars. Blue Cube: You’re right. (Into appears out of nowhere) Unknown(into): (whispering) Come with me, we can help you! Purple Cube: Who are you? Blue Cube: And who’s we? Green Cube: Why do you have the Cubecient word for “hello”, or oljor in your shirt? Purple Cube, Blue Cube, Orange Cube: Ol- what? Unknown: (still whispering) Oh that, I’ll tell you later. My name is Into. Into: I work discovering more about cubes and where they came from. I could help you get back home, if that’s what you want. Purple Cube: Yes please! Blue Cube: How do we trust you. Into: Just trust me. Green Cube: Ok, then! (all cubes go with Into)
