| Chapter 11 The Sea of Cars |
| Rita drove the car through a cloudy archway and there they saw the Sea of Cars. VW Beetles with wide varieties of paint jobs stretched on for miles just sitting there shoulder to shoulder. There was no room to drive among the cars, so Rita parked and they got out. �This must be the Sea of Cars,� Pam smiled. �So far so good!� The four began weaving their way among the cars hoping to find something to guide them to the next sea. �We could look for days and never find anything,� JoJo complained. �I mean think about it! To check all of these cars out thoroughly could take years!� �We need some help,� Rita agreed. �We need someone or something to give us another hint.� Paul climbed up on top of a blue and green swirled car and turned slowly in a circle, surveying the cars all around him. Rita scrambled up beside him Suddenly a rainbow sprouted out of the top of a colorful Tie-Dyed car. �I�ve got it!� Paul told them as he hopped off the car. �Follow me! I know which car it is!� They followed Paul to the Tie-Dyed car. �The rainbow�s gone, but I�m sure this was it,� Rita said. �This is it alright!� Paul said as he opened the front passenger door. There on the seat lay a piece of paper. On it was hand written �Sea of Flowers.� �Look,� he said. �It looks like the sea of flowers is next.� �Sounds nice,� Rita commented. �I�m starving!� JoJo exclaimed. �It must have been at least a weeks since we left the submarine.� �I hope not!� Paul answered emphatically. �We better not have missed the concert!� Pam had crawled into the back seat of the car and now she called, �I�ve found something!� Paul and Rita came in from either side to see what it was. It was a panel of buttons that made the windshield become a TV screen, alive with beautiful colors and an array of bright colorful flowers. �JoJo! You�ve gotta come see this!� Pam called. Since the backseat was jam-packed with Paul, Rita and Pam, JoJo climbed in the front. They all fixed their eyes to the beautiful site before their eyes. |
