Chapter 2

Zoe and Tommy staggered back, aghast.

“But..but that’s impossible!”

“Is he joking or what?”

“Nah, he’s not joking. We really have to find out how to get there by ourselves,” said Bo.

“Am I allowed to use my power?” asked Tommy, close to tears.

An evil smile spread on Bo’s face. “I’m just kidding, obviously! AB said the Zamanon Jungle is a state away in Anozira. And where are we living now?” As he was talking, Tommy slid into the house and helped AB look for the teleporter.

“Ainrofilac,” said Zoe in reply to Bo.

“Yes, and he’s teleporting us, as always. He just can’t find his teleporter now.”

How dumbly is that?

“As dumbly as you,” said Bo to me, the narrator.

Yes, well, anyway, let me go on. If you don’t, I will stop narrating and all your fame will be lost.

“Go on, then,” said Bo scaredly. His tuft of hair shook. His lip wobbled. His eyes gleamed. His nose ran to another planet. And then  finally - he bawled his head off. Zoe started to quiver as Bo wailed like a baby in front of her. Her eyes welled with tears, and she too, started to sob. When Tommy came back, he stared at them oddly.

“I found it?” he said, holding up the teleporter.

Zoe and Bo immediately stopped crying.

“YAY!” they yelled, “Let’s go!”

Rolling his eyes, Tommy typed Zamanon Jungle, AR in the teleporter. The machine started to whir.

“Grab onto your hats!” Tommy screamed, holding on to his head.

Zoe and Bo held on tight to their tufts of curly hair for dear, dear life.

Wind swirled around them.

Neighbors peered out of their windows curiously as Zoe, Bo, and Tommy disappeared.
