Cosy was about to eat his pancake and cinnamon muffin, the man that was sitting behind him heard Cosy mention about Dence and begin speaking to Cosy for a question.
"Hey kid? Did I heard you say about Dence?" The man asked him.
Cosy turn his head around to see the man sitting behind him before he was about to eat his lunch. "Huh? Yes I did. But, how did you know my professor name? Do you know him sir?" Cosy said.
"Of course I know him, we both were friends for a long time, I'm surprise my pal is your professor man. The guy was a cool bastard as we both drink together while we have so much fun at the party."
"Wow, I didn't knew you guys were friends. I'm Cosy by the way." I shake his hand. "It's nice to meet you sir, what's your name?"
He shake his hand as well too. "The name Ray." He burp a little which he covered his another arm. "Oh excuse me! Had a big lunch which I was so hungry, hehehe." Ray laugh. "So how you doing anyway?" Ray said.
"I'm doing quite fine Ray, I just graduation from college 3 weeks ago and I planning to find a job."
"Kickass man! Congratulation for your accomplishment."
"Thanks Ray, I hope I find a neat job for me so I can be the best scientist ever." Cosy said as he grab his muffin and took a bite of it and swallow it. Cosy starts thinking about his professors. "I really wish I want to see them again to show my invention I made... Craft and Dence were already gone at my college, they didn't mention us about their retirement.
"Craft? I heard that guy what my friend said, and that's strange... Since the other day, I just realize Dence didn't answer me back." Ray was scratching his hair. "I try calling him, but no answer."
"No answer? That's unfortunate..." Cosy said. "Did you also try emailing him to see he respond? Dence always check his email on the computer whenever places he at." Cosy took a bit of his pancake.
Ray shrug. "Nope, I did email Dence before, and he didn't reply me back."
"That's a bummer... He always check his email all the time." Cosy ate his pancake more. "I know I don't like asking someone personal address. Do you know what Dence's house location at? I want to check he's there or not."
"Since he's your professor, sure! Let me see I got a pen in my back pocket. "Ray reach his hand in his back pocket, and then found in his back pocket which is his short pen. "Ah ha! I knew I didn't drop it. Well I don't have any paper, I use this napkin instead." He try to remember what's Dence's address after he went to his place the other day while thinking and he figure out his address in his mind and Ray starts writing on the napkin and finished writing. "Here's the address my guy." He hand it to Cosy.
"Thanks Ray, I own you one." He take the napkin that was written from Ray.
"No problem Cosy. Oh speaking of which, did you say you invented something for your professors? " Ray said.
"Yeah, I did." He grab his homemade pens out of his pocket and show it to Ray. "This is my homemade pens I just made back at the motel, I want to show it to Craft and Dence for my effort." Cosy said.
"Whoa man, that's really neat! How long did it took you to make them?" Ray said.
"It took me about weeks to finish it. I did a lots of stuff like adding a laser pointer, making the pens bend like a string so it won't break, the nib can change into different colors."
"Man! I am totally blown out of my mind right now. That is the some great stuff what you just did. Your professors would be proud of you dude, I wish I was like you and your professors."
"Thanks! My first invention isn't the best anyway, that's why I want to be the best scientist like my professors." Cosy said as he hope to be the best scientist.
Ray smile. "You got potential kid, I'm sure your professors would be shocked as me even more what you just invented. Like hell, when I was your age, I dream to fix someone electronics when I was little."
"We both share a same common huh?" Cosy was done with his pancake and check his wristwatch. "I need to be going now, I have to head to Dence house to see he's there or not."
"It was nice talking to you Cosy. Before you leave. Can I have that last muffin?"
"Sure! Here you go." Cosy gave the muffin to Ray. "I really love something that has cinnamon in it." Cosy said which he likes foods that has cinnamon favor on it.
Ray take the muffin from Cosy. "I do like cinnamon just like you man." He then bites the muffin and swallow it.
Cosy got up from his seat and took his plate to the trash and then spoke to Ray one more before leaving. "I hope to see you again Ray, and thank you for the address by the way.
"Same thing man and no problem. Stay safe out there, heard the news that one dude got murdered last night. Don't know who did it."
"Oh that's terrible... Rest in peace to the guy. Don't worry, I won't be out in the dark for that long so I won't end up like that person." Cosy said as he leaving the cafe.
"Take care man!" Ray wave at him."
Cosy wave back to Ray. "Same to you Ray."
I exit out the cafe to head to Dence's house to see he's home or not. "I need to take the bus, his apartment might be a long miles away which will take 3 hours for me to get there. I wish I had a bike anyway..." Cosy said as he walk to find the bus sign.
While I was walking down on the sidewalk. I was thinking about the guy that was killed last night what Ray said when he saw the news. "I wonder who kill that person last night? It's not my brother isn't it? No it can't be. Scar is still in jail. I know he tries to break out to come after me. But if he didn't do it, then who did it?" Cosy said while thinking.
Cosy was looking for the bus sign. "Where's the bus sign? I know I saw it somewhere when I was heading to the college." I kept walking to look for the bus sign as I look around.
He was still looking as he saw the bus's sign and the bench.
"Oh there it is. I knew I saw the bus sign early. Wasn't paying attention at first. Really hope I still have some money." I sit down on the bench and wait for the bus to arrive. "Can't wait to show my homemade pens to Dence." I said as I wait for the bus.
As I waiting for the bus, I look up at the sky and had a dream last night as I invented a flying car. "I wish I can invent a flying car like the dream I had last night. That would be awesome."
Cosy wait patiently for the bus arrive as he smile.
Minutes pass by. I then check my wristwatch to see it's 3:17 PM. "Where's the bus at? I know it didn't left already when I was looking for the bus sign. I really hope the bus get here soon so it won't get dark." I said again as I kept waiting for the bus.
As I was still waiting for the bus. I grab my homemade pens out of my pocket and I stare at it, which I really want to show it to my professors.
"I know Craft and Dence would be proud of me of my hard effort I did. I want to be just like them for making robots, crafting, and of course! Building a spaceship would be cool."
Cosy put his homemade pens back in his pocket and he notice the bus is coming. "Oh hey! The bus is here." I was glad it came as I got up from the bench and got on the bus.
As I got on the bus, I saw few people on the bus which there aren't lots of people on the bus. I saw the farebox and then grab my dollar out of my pocket and insert it in the bill slot, and I head to find a seat to sit.
I sat down on the third row seat and I looked through to the window as soon the bus starts moving. "Can't wait to show these homemade pens to Dence once I arrive to his house soon." Cosy said quietly as he was excited to see Dence.
He look through the window again and saw some people and family were walking on the sideway.
Cosy begin to talk to himself again about his professors once more. "I still don't get why they didn't told us they were retiring from teaching? I need to ask him and why." Cosy said. "I think I should stop worry about my professors. I been saying the same thing over and over after I went to the college." I sigh as I scoop back. "I'll take a nap till I arrive there."
I then took a nice rest as I close my eyes till I arrive there soon. I have to make sure I won't miss my stop.
As I resting, I then start dreaming again. But this time, not the dream I had back at the motel.
In my dream, I was 17 years old ago back then as I went to visit my brother Scar after he moved out.
Cosy ring the door bell and wait for his brother to answer the door.
Scar sees his brother on the front porch and open the door.
"Hey Cosy, surprise to see you here man." Scar said.
"Nice seeing you again Scar." Cosy smile. "How you doing after you moved out? It's been a while.
"I'm be doing fine brother, it was such a pain in the ass for moving all the stuff in the living room, the bathroom and much more. God my back hurts..." He rub his back. "So you came here to see me?"
"Yeah! I also have a favor for you Scar."
"What's that? Don't tell me... It's one of your lame joke isn't it?"
"No no no, that's not it. I just want to ask you if you want to go to the New York Hall of Science with me today."
"Well... Sorry Cosy, can't go with you. I have some plan in the afternoon."
"Oh okay then. But what kind of plan you having?"
Scar put his hand on his shoulder. "It's a secret alright? You can go without me, I'm busy with some other things and I need to finish up cleaning the apartment. Didn't want to upset you Cosy." Scar said as he pat his brother shoulder.
"It's okay Scar. You do what you doing and I'll have fun at the New York Hall of Science by myself."
Scar smile at his brother. "Thanks for understanding little bro. You have a great time at there." Scar closes the door.
Cosy then heads off to the New York Hall of Science while frowning.
"It's too bad he didn't want to come with me, I hope he has a good time whatever he doing." Cosy said.
Scar peek through his window to see his brother leaving. "Oh thank god I don't want him found out what I'm doing. Cosy wouldn't know I'm still moving all my stuff, I need to get my things so I can get ready till afternoon."
He was beginning to wake up from his dream "That dream I had..." He said after his woke up.
"The dream I was having, I remember I visit my brother few years ago after he moved out. I wanted to ask him if he wants to go with me, but didn't want to come since he has some plan. What kinda plan he has back then?"
Cosy was thinking a bit until he look through the window again and sees the sun was almost going down. "Oh no. How long I been asleep? I hope I didn't miss my stop."
I look at the window once more and sees a bunch of apartments in the neighborhoods area. "Perfect timing, this must be the neighborhood what Dence lives there." I reach my hand to pull the cord to request the bus to stop.
The bus stop as I pull the cord. Cosy got up from his seat and begin exiting out of the bus.
"You have a nice day sir." The female driver said.
"Same to you miss." I reply back to her while smiling as I got off the bus. Cosy then saw some apartments. "Wow! I wish I own a apartment, don't have enough money anyway... I'm still looking for a job. But, that's not the time. I need to find Dence's address." Cosy said and begin walking and starts to look for his professor's address.
"Dence's apartment number is 173, lets see I can find his apartment here in this neighborhood area." I said while walking on the sidewalk to look for my professor's address and looking at the apartment numbers.
"The people living in those apartments looks so neat." He smile while looking at their apartments they living while looking for Dence's apartment.
I kept looking and walking around the neighborhood to see what Dence is living. I take out the napkin out of my pocket which Ray wrote the address for me back at the cafe, I hold onto it to make sure I'll find his address.
Cosy kept walking as he was looking at the apartment numbers.
"His house gotta be... Right... Here!" I found his address which his apartment number is 173. "That was easy." I knock on the door to wait for Dence to open the door. But after that, he didn't answer the door. "Hm? Is he busy or did he left out to get some drink?" I just realized I didn't saw the doorbell as I arrive. "Oh oops! Didn't saw the doorbell. Quite small too." I press the doorbell as I heard the doorbell noise inside his home. "Can't wait to show my homemade pens to him." Cosy said as he was excited to see him.
As I'm still waiting for him to open the door. It's seem like Dence still didn't answer the door.
"Still no answer? I don't want to spam the doorbell that much. I'll keep waiting, I know Dence answer the door all the time what he say in class." Cosy said as he wait more.
I kept waiting more, but it's seem like Dence isn't really home.
"That's strange... It's seem like he's not home. Well... I guess I'll head back to the motel so I can get back working on my another inventions. I know Craft might be gone too. What Dence once say in class? He love cocktail drink so much."
Suddenly, I heard a ding sound effect somewhere.
"Password is correct! Welcome back Mr. Dence! It's nice to see you again. I would be sending you down to your lab right now. Please stand still for a second and enjoy the ride."
It was a robotic female voice, I don't know where it came from or how I activate the password somehow. It must be thinking I am Dence or something.
"Wait hold on! I'm not Dence, you're must be mistaking! I'm Cosy, I'm a student that graduation from college." Cosy said while he try to find the voice is coming from and try to explain it."
"I was trying to see he's home as I... Wait... What's that other sound I'm hearing?"
Cosy try to figure out what's the other sound coming from. But not realizing this, the hole suddenly open up while he was standing on the rug which had open a hole.
"What's going... HUH?!"
Before I react, I was too late as I fell down in the hole which I slide down to Dence's secret underground lab. I don't know what's this slide is taking me, I know the computer voice say it sending me into his lab if I'm correct.
After 7 seconds, I came out of the hole up in the celling as I finally got into his lab. I landed on few big pillows that save my fall, If the pillow wasn't there, my legs would be broken.
"Oh boy... I'm glad this pillow save my fall, but... Where am I? Is this Dence's lab what the voice said? It's too dark. Let me find the switch." I try to find the switch to turn the lights on as I place my hand on the wall if I found the switch.
I kept walking around the lab to find the switch as the room was too dark for me to see.
"Where is the switch? I should have brought a flashlight with me. If only I didn't expect Dence build a secret lab down here, I wouldn't know about this. I need to find a exit."
My hand was still place on the wall, I feel something. It's must be the switch.
"Ah ha! This must be the switch, let me see if this is it." I flip the switch as I turn the lights on. "Whoa! His lab!" I look around to see all of Dence inventions. "This is awesome! I never knew Dence take his inventions to the next level."
Cosy was looking at all those gadgets and weapons that was lock in the case.
"Unbelievable! So these the inventions he made by himself? Some of them are unreal." I said in excitement as I look at all those inventions.
Cosy saw a gadget in the case which is a shoes and he reads the description "If someone wears this shoes, it will allow them to walk on walls and ceiling." He said while reading. "A shoes that allow the user to walk on walls and ceiling?! That is amazing! Can't believe Dence manage to invent something like this. I'll check the other stuff he made and then I'll look around this lab a little bit."
He look at the second invention what Dence created is a weapon that can shoot large bubbles in different colors and he reads the description. "Shooting bubble? How about shooting color bubble? Sound awesome right?" Cosy said as he read the description. "Oh sweet, shooting large bubbles in different colors sounds really cool, I was thinking about that last month."
The other invention what Dence made is a gloves. I read it to see what it does. "If a person put both of the gloves on, it will allow them to aim it at high building for climbing, and it also use for swinging too."
Cosy was amazed at those gloves.
"So it's a grappling gloves? That's awesome! But dangerous too."
Cosy was impress at some of those inventions what his professor created. "Some of them were cool! I like the shoes more which is really useful for me to walk on walls and ceiling, wish I can try those shoes out.
I was done looking and reading all the inventions what my professor made. I begin looking around this area in this room to see more of his inventions on table which some of them were unfinished.
"Most of his stuff are quite unfinished, wish I can try it out, but I don't want to touch it and destroy most of his stuff by accident." Cosy said and walk pass it until he sees something on the another table.
"Huh? What's that on the another table? It's seem like it's not unfinished."
I walk towards to the another table to see a small cube sitting there by itself as I pick it up to look at it.
"Hmm? I wonder what this cube does? Does it have a button on it." I try to find a button on this strange cube what Dence invented. I soon find a small button which I didn't saw it. "Oh there it is!" I press the button as the cube was making colorful lights as I sat it down on the table while the cube was rotating different colors as I watch.
"Whoa... This is cool! Don't know how long it took him to create this." I kept watching the cube as it rotate a little faster and doing different colors.
"Now it's getting faster? Now I want to see what's going to happen next." The cube was increasing faster as the cube starts to move around the table.
"This is so awesome! I wish I can do this." While I was amazed at Dence's invention. The cube starts to move even faster as it jump off the table while spamming colors.
"Yikes! Is the cube unfinished? I thought it was finish. I need to stop it and turn it off before it break something in this lab. I don't want it destroying the lab." Cosy said.
The cube was moving on the floor as I try to catch it to turn it off. "Come back here!" I'm trying my best to catch the cube, but it was too fast. I don't want it to do so much damage in Dence's lab and his other inventions.
"I gotta turn off that cube, I don't want to ruined his lab and his other inventions."
Cosy trying his best to catch the cube, while it was bumping into chairs, and knocking over his cups down. "Shoot! I pick that up later till I stop that cube going crazy." Cosy said as he tries to catch the cube.
Just then, the cube starts to bouncing around the lab which is hard for me to catch it. "Oh no! Now it's bouncing too?! What else the cube about to do next?! Blow up?! I hope it doesn't..." Cosy said again as he try to catch the cube bouncing around the lab knocking more stuff and he was worrying about the cube might explode.
The cube was bouncing around as I try to catch it while it was bumping into chairs, tables, and his other inventions inside those glass case he look early.
"I don't know if it will explode or not, I shouldn't have press that button. I'm also glad those inventions inside those display glass cases are indestructible which I didn't realized that."
While the cube was bouncing and decreasing speed. It stop bouncing and making color as it lay on the floor still as I picked it up while I was so glad.
"Oh thank goodness... I was worry it might blow up. Hehehe..." I was so relieved the cube stop going nuts around the lab. It's seem like it turn off by itself. I was cleaning up the mess as I put those cups back on the table and putting all those unfinished inventions back on the table. After I was done cleaning, I saw a blueprint on the floor which I didn't see that.
"Huh? Is that a blueprint? I need to see what it is." Cosy said as he walk and picked it up to see what it is.
I pick up the blueprint from the floor to see what is Dence other invention is. "So Dence really has a blueprint for real." I was reading the blueprint that caught my attention. "No way?! Is this... A portal what he's working on along with Craft for months?! This is unbelievable! Is this real?!" I then look at Dence wrote this quote. What if we travel to a different world to find some greatest scientists that is not human, isn't it great Craft? Like hell! There is a possibly right? We can totally travel to a different reality to meet new people there! Awesome right?
"No wonder they disappeared after my graduation. They must had travel to a new different world to study there. I never knew this was possible, I thought it was impossible to build a portal to a different world. I didn't expect my professors was capable of building a portal. But... Is there a portal around his lab somewhere? I need to check it out to see if there is a portal here." I hold the blueprint with me.
I look around the lab to find a portal. "I really hope Dence doesn't realized I ended up in his underground lab, thanks to his computer voice outside." Cosy said while looking for the portal.
As I spotted a another door, I walk over there to see if this the portal in there. I look through the window and sees the portal in there. "This must be it!" I then look at the knob has a home combination lock with a keypad.
"Of course... It's a home combination lock. But I don't see no codes around his lab. Maybe I just guess it to see if I get it right?" Cosy said as he press the numbers on the keypad to open the door.
"Incorrect, try again. First try." Voice from the lockpad.
"He install a failed attempts on this home combination lock?! Bummer... What about the numbers what Dence said in class? That's must be his favorite numbers." I put in three, five, and nine to see if this is correct this time.
"Sorry... Incorrect again. Second try, this is your last chance."
"Oh shoot... If I get this wrong again, I will never see that new world and see my professors again. There is gotta be a correct numbers." Basically, I was thinking about the numbers on the napkin.
"I wonder if I can use this address numbers for this code? Maybe it should work? I pull the napkin out of my pocket to see the address numbers and try to see if this is the right digit code. "Let see if this is the correct code. I would be surprise if this is it.
Cosy than put in the one, seven and three if this correct this time.
"I hope this is the right code for this." I said.
"That is incorrect once again. Come back tomorrow."
Cosy frowned as he never going to meet his professors in that new world. "Well... That's okay then. I guess I'm never going to meet them again anyway. I'll just go back to the motel.
I then try to find a way to leave Dence's lab. I then found a exit door that lead me upstairs. It's like I'm breaking into his house which I'm really not. I begin walking towards the door.
As I about to open the door. I heard a unlock noise from the door which it from the home combination lock. "Just kidding! It was correct. You can now enter inside the room." The voice said and it was teasing me.
"Really?" I just smile and roll my eyes "I figure that was correct, he use his address numbers as a digit code. Really surprise anyway." I open the door to see a big portal as I enter inside the room.
"Oh my gosh! So this is the portal what Dence and Craft was working on. I wonder I can get this turn on?" I look around the portal to find a way to turn it on. I then saw a machine behind the portal.
"Hmm...? I wonder this machine still works? The wires are connected to the portal. It can be activated if I turn this on. But let me check the blueprint again."
I look at the blueprint again to find some clues how to operate this machine to run the portal. But there were no clues on it. "There's no instructions on it to operate this portal? Hmm? How odd... Let me look at the machine.
Cosy walk over to the machine that has a screen and try to figure it out to get it running. "There's no button on it, just a screen only." Cosy said as tries to find a way to turn it on, while he was thinking until he saw a hole in there.
"A hole?" I scratch my hair while confused. "Why there is a hole on this machine? That's strange... Hold on a second." Cosy know what's he thinking. "This hole on this machine. I think I need to pour it in there to get this machine running. Now I get it now, but where I can find some bottle of liquid in this room? I check around the room to find it.
Cosy was searching around the room to find some liquid in this room to get the machine running to have the portal turn on.
While I was looking for the bottle of liquid, I then saw some one bottle inside the top shelf cabinet.
"Bingo!" I walk over to the top shelf cabinet to open it as I grab the bottle. "This must be it! It was only one left inside the cabinet. Let see I can pour it inside the machine to get this operate." Cosy said as he walk back to the machine and he pour it inside the machine which cause it to turn on. While he was done pouring, he smell something similar. "Why this liquid smell like..."
Suddenly, a robotic female voice spoke from the machine.
"Detected! Cocktail booze was pour inside the machine. Preparing the portal now."
Cosy sweat drop a little. "Really Dence? The machine needs alcohol to run it?"
I then heard the noise from the portal which is opening, the blue light inside the portal was so bright a little as I watch.
"Holly molly! I can't believe it work!" Cosy said in excitement.
"But, I don't know if I want to do this or not. What if my parents and my friends starts worrying about me? No... If I enter inside the portal, I can't get back to my own world."
He thinks for a second. "Basically, what Dence wrote that quote on that blueprint. Someone in that new dimension might have a portal in that world. I really doubt that.
Cosy took a deep breath and was ready to step inside the portal.
"Alright! Here goes nothing. Craft and Dence, I can't wait to see you again." I begin walking towards the portal as I enter inside of it while I was sweating to see what will take me.
