true the younger you look, the older you really are?” She didn’t wait
for an answer. “I mean, that’s simply amazing. I heard this is the only charted parallel world
where everyone grows down instead of up. To think of it, I’d be considered an old woman
here!”
        She laughed heartily, but Buz and Spike were not amused.
        “I can’t quite put my finger on what paraworld your servants are from,” she
continued. “Oh, I hope this isn’t on the test. I know they’re not native to this paraworld—their
bodies are too big and clumsy. I bet they’re worker drones from Paraworld 5467. Am I
correct?”
        Simon just stood there with his mouth open in confusion. What a strange
girl.
        “Oh, fiddlesticks!” she exclaimed. “Let me see… Oh, I know! I should have
seen it earlier. By the way they’re holding their sticks and stones, they’re from one of the
prehistoric worlds, aren’t they? So are their brains really the size of a walnut?”
        “Okay, that’s it,” Buz grunted. “You’re gonna pay for that!”
        He picked up the girl as easily as he would a feather pillow and walked
towards a large puddle of dirty water.
        “Oh, dear,” Tonya said, looking back at Simon. “Do you think he understood
me?”
        Simon couldn’t answer because he too was being removed from the ground; he
tried to free himself, but Spike had an iron grasp.
        “We’re going to teach you and your girlfriend a lesson,” Spike said. “On
three.” He signaled to Buz. “One… two…”
        “Oh, I see you can count,” Tonya said with genuine surprise in her
voice.
        “ Three! ”
        Buz and Spike launched the two kids towards the murky water. Simon hit the
shallow pool with a hard thud, splashing water everywhere. He closed his eyes and moaned. After a
brief moment, though, it occurred to him that he was the only one in the water. He rolled over
and, to his astonishment, saw the young girl suspended above him in midair.
        “What are you?” Spike shouted in disbelief. “You little freak!” He raised the
two-by-four and lunged at the girl.
        “ PROTECTION! ” Tonya exclaimed, raising her wand.
        A sphere of golden light engulfed her body. She clutched her stomach in pain
as yellow lightning bolts shot out of the sphere and wrapped themselves around Spike. He screamed
in a high-pitched voice as the electrical ropes raised his body into the air.
        Tonya went into convulsions, throwing her head back and forth in agony. She
waved her wand uncontrollably. Suddenly, a bolt of red lightning ran down the alley and struck
the long row of parked cars like a thread being sewn into fabric. The windshields, side windows,
taillights, and mirrors exploded from the impact.
        Resembling tentacles, the yellow bolts of electricity wiggled around as if
they had a mind of their own. Mercilessly, they threw Spike’s body from one building to the next.
Two more giant arms—both emerald green—shot from the golden globe and grabbed two parked cars
near the entrance of the alleyway. Crunching sounds echoed horribly in everyone’s ears as the
thick arms of electricity squeezed the cars tightly, making the hinges buckle. The awful
crunching stopped for one second, and then the two vehicles rose fifteen feet into the air and
smashed together with such tremendous force that when the two hunks of metal fell, neither of
them even resembled cars.
        Simon stood up and surveyed the destruction with eerie trepidation, but then
he jumped as a lightning-entangled body descended just inches from his face.
        Spike, hovering in the air before Simon, brought his head up slowly and
whispered, “Help me.”
        Face to face, Simon stared into the hopeless eyes of the teenager who, just a
moment ago, had threatened to shut him up permanently. Simon had always
