Science fiction - Chocolate Rescue
by Nicholas
They fell face down on the cold hard ground. When they looked up they saw a little alien face peering down at them.
"Hello," the alien said. "I am B-5-1. Who are you?"
"I'm Tom," answered Tom.
"I'm Jacob," said Jacob.
"Come to the library with me," said B-5-1.
Tom and Jacob followed him into the building. The library looked amazingly like an earth library. There were books in rows on shelves and little aliens sitting and reading. B-5-1 led them to a shelf where he pulled out a large book that turned out to be a picture dictionary. B-5-1 turned to a page showing foods and pointed to a picture that looked just like chocolate. B-5-1 asked, "Do you have this?"
"Chocolate! Sure we have that. What do you want it for?" Tom asked.
"We use it for fuel," answered B-5-1, "But we have almost run out and need some very soon. I am so lucky to find out that you know what it is!"
"Before we give it to you," Tom said, "You have to find us a way back to our world."
"It's right here in this book," B-5-1 said, pointing to a nearby book.
"Alright. Then here comes the chocolate!" Tom said.
Tom and Jacob dumped out all the chocolate candy in their pockets. "Thanks so much!" B-5-1 said. Tom and Jacob then grabbed the book that B-5-1 handed them. They flipped to a picture that looked exactly like their library. Suddenly they were sucked out of the book and back into their seats in the library!
They looked around to see if anybody had noticed them. Then they quickly looked back at the book. It looked like an ordinary book, but when they looked closely they thought they saw B-5-1 waving to them. They closed the book and went right up to the desk to check it out. They couldn't wait to go home and see if they could have another adventure!
