| Chapter 10 The Sea of Clouds |
| �Well, now we�re out of the Sea of Time,� Pam said. �But where do we go from here?� �Watch this,� Paul said. He stepped off of his flower and onto a cloud. �Come on,� he said. �We won�t get anywhere just sitting on our flowers.� He winked at JoJo. The others followed and they began walking across the Sea of Clouds. �We need another clue,� Pam said. �Isn�t it about time for another one?� �Look,� Rita exclaimed. �The clouds are forming into letters and words.� �The Sea of Cars,� Paul read. �Cars?� �Where would that be?� Pam wondered. They came around a fluff of clouds and there sat a lime green VW Beetle with yellow and white daisies painted on it. �A car!� Rita exclaimed. Paul got into the drivers seat. �I wanted to drive,� JoJo said. �You�re sitting in the back, JoJo,� Pam told him. �No, Rita is,� he said. �No, Rita argued. �I�m riding in the front. �Here, baby, you can drive my car,� Paul told Rita. Rita climbed into the drivers seat and Paul climbed in the back. �I thought I was sitting in the back,� JoJo said. �You are,� Rita told him. �I�ll sit in the front then,� Pam said climbing in next to Rita. Rita turned the key and gave the car some gas and away they went across the universe. �I some how feel as far from earth as ever,� Pam said as she looked out the window across the Sea of Clouds. �I know,� Rita said. �It�s so lonely up here.� �Cheer up! Here comes the sun,� Paul said cheerfully. JoJo turned and looked at him with a sigh. A frown creasing his handsome face. Sure enough the sun came out and shown across the fluffy white clouds turning their edges to brilliant shades of pink, golden, and orange. �It�s beautiful!� Rita exclaimed. �The sun makes so much difference.� |
