Chapter 16

After ten minutes of running through the park, the gang stopped to rest, bent down with their hands on their knees, panting. Carl took out his inhaler and breathed.
Finally, the dim sound of music registered in their ears. Libby looked up: where was it coming from?
Then, suddenly, a parade passed them by. The song playing was the tune to “There They Are, the Dominant Life Forms” song but without words. Colorful balloons danced ahead, followed by floats of people they couldn’t see in the distance.
“What is this, Disneyland?” Cindy demanded irritably.
“Not quite,” Libby said, grinning. “Did you notice who the people the floats are modeled after?”
Dozens of. . . not people, they couldn’t be human—dozens of near-identical Meldars paraded by the five kids, lifeless expressions cloned on their faces. Every one of them was holding a puppet-master string that was attached to a float—which, as Libby had pointed, were supposed to be Jimmy and Cindy.
Sheen burst out laughing. “They looked exactly like you guys!”
Cindy managed to scrape her jaw off the floor and retort, “Yeah genius, we know.”
The toothpaste-ad smiles on their gigantic faces clearly came from their school pictures. Cindy felt sick: for long had Meldar planned this?
They all sat there for several seconds and then, one by one, stood up, looking defeated.
“I was so sure I was right!” Libby moaned.
“So was I,” Jimmy admitted.
Cindy remained silent.
“Well, this is great,” Sheen said sarcastically.
“We don’t even have time to think of a new plan!” Carl cried, wringing his hands.
Jimmy stared at him. “What are you talking about? We should have at least forty more minutes!”
Carl shook his head and said, “Nope. We’ve got, like, five more minutes.”
Cindy grabbed his wrist and watched in horror as the 11:56 clicked to 11:57.
“But—but—that’s impossible!” Cindy spluttered.
“She’s right!” Jimmy said, in the same tone of mingled shock and disbelief. “That’s scientifically impossible—it was 11:15 a minute ago!”
Libby switched from amused at Cindy and Jimmy to slightly exasperated. “Einstein and Einsteinette, in case you forgot, Meldar and Calamitous are gunna zap me back down to opera city if you don’t give them what they want by midnight!”
“Uh, right,” Jimmy said hastily.
He started to open his mouth again but was interrupted by a squeak:
Carl, for some reason, felt the impulse to look up just as the parade was fading away and saw—
“Guys! Look!”
Cindy and Jimmy swiveled around and they too saw—their clues!
The two pieces of paper glittered in the moonlight, taunting them, urging them to run, for time was running out.
Cindy, whatever she was, however jealous of Libby she was, was a seriously competitive girl. Even if there was no prize—the hopes of which were long gone—she wanted to win. She wanted to finally beat Jimmy at something.
Cindy leapt into the air and ran, followed momentarily by Jimmy. They ran as fast as they could, Sheen, Libby, and Carl, right behind them, a race against time.
“Ten! Nine! Eight!”
Carl and Sheen had taken it upon themselves to add more suspense and fear to the situation by counting away the seconds melodramatically. Meldar’s clock could be heard over the shouting, doing the same thing.
“Seven! Six!”
Jimmy and Cindy were nearing the Meldar-robots; Cindy was the first to notice that her clue was taped to float-Cindy’s left shoe. Tick, tock, went the amplified clock.
“Five!”
Sheen, Libby, and Carl were right behind their team captains. Time was dwindling away like the last grains of sand in an egg timer.
“Four!”
Time seemed to pass in slow motion; Jimmy’s foot hit the ground as the other jumped up, flailing in the air as the seconds floated by.
“Three!”
The other three were going anxious. Seconds crept along like hours and Cindy and Jimmy readied their index fingers on the buttons of their watches.
“Two!”
It was almost unnerving to watch. Libby closed her eyes and Sheen and Carl raised their voices. Even the clock seemed more excited.
“ONE!”
The leaders of the blue and red team, definitely in slow motion, threw themselves in the air and, definitely in slow motion, each pushed a button—one of them first, but it was impossible to tell who—as the floor gave away beneath them. Beams of light shot dramatically out of Jimmy’s and Cindy’s watches and the notes fell, somehow even faster than normal, through the hole in the ground just before the trap door closed. The blue and pink papers stuck to the faces of their watches as Jimmy, Cindy, Libby, Carl, and Sheen screamed, falling, falling, falling. . .
