The Dimension Travel Trilogy: A Three Part Science Fiction And Fantasy Novel (26 page)

Cornelius answered irritably, "Well, you've got to be kidding me?!

There are a million answers to this particular question. However, because everything to you is rocket science, I guess I will give you two ways to answer that question, genius. You could have insisted that they had eaten the food and made them gullible through trickery or, you could have force fed them the food! You know what you will do?

Your role is just to prepare to food with more ingredients on them.

You could have done more! But, I guess that I will have to do the serving for you. Now, please prepare the next course." Will asked, "And what would that be?"

Cornelius answered, "The steak. And add some mercury to it, and a lot of mercury at that." Cornelius finally went out of the kitchen. When he walked into the nook area, food was thrown at him.

Some of the Southern Cobb Salad was found on top of his shirt.

Cornelius's green pigment turned red as a “Twizzler” licorice. When that happened, he screamed at Tom and Light. He asked, "What's going on here?"

Light answered, "Oh nothing." When he answered that, suspicion entered the face of Cornelius. Cornelius asked, "Who's behind this ruckus?" Light answered, "Not me." The angry alien then asked, "Well, who is it then?" Tom answered, "I guess it's me."

Cornelius replied, "Well, the both of you will clean this mess up immediately!”

The angry alien walked five hundred feet down the hallway to the powder room. He retrieved two toothbrushes and returned back to the location of Tom and Light. When he returned to the nook, it looked like a tornado hit. It looked much worse than it did thirty seconds ago when he'd left room to retrieve the toothbrushes.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Will is preparing the second course. He picked out a chunk of prime rib steak and started butchering it. He started whistling and a voice that sounded like the angry alien Cornelius started to be heard in the kitchen. Cornelius shouted to Will, "Shut up! That noise is piercing my ears!"

The chef continued to whistle and he finished butchering the steak. He then moved the steak over to the counter that was above the oven. His whistling started to have a much lower volume until the whistling became humming. The next thing he did was retrieve the shrimp which was also in the freezer adjacent to the steak. He put the shrimp and steak in one dish. He opened the closet door for the chemical closet which contained kerosene and mercury.

He put the liquid mercury inside of a syringe and injected it in both of the steaks. Followed by that, he poured the kerosene all over the dish that would be the platter for all of the food for the second course, the entree. He put the dish in the oven and set the oven to three hundred and seventy five degrees Celsius. In the other room adjacent to the kitchen, Cornelius continued yelling at Light and Tom.

He shouted, "One minute I am gone and inside of another room! The next minute, this small ruckus becomes sheer chaos! What is wrong with you?"

Tom answered, "Absolutely nothing sir." Cornelius replied in anger, "Well, I think that you are nothing but a natural born liar."

Light asked, "And why would you say that about him?" The infuriated alien answered, "You two must be stupid foot lickers! You should be ashamed of yourself! You two are out of your minds and you will clean up this mess now!" Tom asked, "What are we supposed to use to clean this mess?”

Cornelius answered, "These two toothbrushes. The still infuriated alien pulled out the toothbrushes and demanded that the two foolish guests clean the nook. Suddenly smoke emerged from the doorway and the sprinklers turned on in the top of the dining room.

The light started to short circuit and sparks started flying downward from the chandelier. As the light started to short circuit, Cornelius walked into the kitchen with an angry scowl on his face. He widely opened his eyes and mouth. He almost had a coronary. He fainted in shock because of the massive fire from the oven that he'd witnessed.

When this happened, the sprinkler system had turned on. Will ran out of the kitchen with Cornelius in his arms and opened the shudders viewing the kitchen. He placed Cornelius on one of the kitchen chairs and returned back into the kitchen. Flames were still occurring within the kitchen when Will walked in. All of a sudden foam started falling from the ceiling. This particular foam was white foam that looked almost like clouds. However, this was not just any ordinary foam.

This was fire extinguisher foam. After two minutes of the raining extinguisher foam, Will's face was covered up and the fire was out.

He started to wipe off his face by his eyes. When he could see he started to walk out of the kitchen and entered the nook. He walked into the nook and Tom immaturely laughed at him. Will asked him, "What's so funny?"

Tom answered, "Your face. Look down." Will shifted his eyes downward and his eyes widened. He replied, "Oh my God, I have a foam beard." Tom replied, "Hey, Santa Claus, go wash off." Will asked, "And where do you expect me to do that?" Tom answered, "I don't know."

Will walked back into the kitchen and asked a rhetorical question to himself, "What should I do now?" The sink was clogged due to all of the extinguisher foam. Since the sink was clogged, he returned back into the nook and started to walk to the powder room and washed off the extinguisher foam. After washing off the extinguisher foam, he returned back into the nook where he would later meet an enraged Cornelius Von Alien. At this point Cornelius went on an emotional tirade and started lecturing Will. Cornelius said, "You must be out of your damn mind to cause the kitchen to end up on fire. Because of you, I almost had a coronary. You're lucky I didn't.

You know something. I will throw you in jail. However, you will have to wait." Will asked, "How long shall I wait?”

Cornelius answered, "About an hour." Cornelius then addressed Light, "My best friend, you're nothing but an evil, twisted traitor. How dare you even betray me like this?" Light answered, "Well, I just did. And what are you going to do about it?" Cornelius answered, "Nothing. Just finish cleaning." Light and Tom continued cleaning the room. Tom asked Light, "What do you think he's going to do with us?" Light answered, "I hope he doesn't send us to the hole."

Tom asked, "What is the hole?" Light answered, "It's the Alien Estate jail. Except it's much worse than jail."

Tom asked a follow up question, "How is it much worse than jail?" Light answered, "Well - you'll see later." Cornelius returned back into the nook and asked in a patronizing manner, "What's taking you two so long?" Tom answered, "I don't know." Light replied, "We’ll, get moving now!" The two started to pick up the pace cleaning the nook with the toothbrush. Cornelius returned in the room thirty seconds later. When he returned back into the room, Tom and Light just finished cleaning the room. He asked them, "Is everyone finished?" Tom and Light answered, "Yes." Cornelius replied, "Good.

Come out now. I have a surprise for you."

A smile appeared on gullible Tom's face. Cornelius escorted the two trouble makers into the kitchen where they would meet a sorrowful chef. The chef's smile was turn upside down. Cornelius said, "You three are going to clean this kitchen and I mean it." Chef Will asked Cornelius, "And what are you going to do if we don't?"

Cornelius answered, "I will have you three sent to the torture chamber." Will unusually sarcastically replied, "Yeah right!" This angered Cornelius and he reminded them "Well, you will see what will happen to you later. I demand you clean up the kitchen right now!

Immediately! Start moving!"

Cornelius stormed out of the room. The trio in the kitchen started to clean. Tom said, "God, it is so hard to clean this place with a dang-nam toothbrush." Light replied, "I know. My nuts and bolts are aching." Tom asked the chef, "What should we do to get this done quicker?" Chef Will answered, "I really don't know." Light replied, "Well, Will, this area has to be cleaned in five minutes. How are we supposed to able to clean this area up in such a short amount of time?"

Will answered, "Let me think." The chef thought about the kitchen cleaning miracle and he said "I'll sneak out of here and head down to the electrical and technical closet next door to this room. I will turn on the sprinkler which will therefore disintegrate the white foam." Light and Tom stopped cleaning the room and waited. Chef Will walked into the room adjacent to the kitchen. It was the control room of the Alien Estate. The room was lit up. There were lights lit everywhere in this room. There were approximately fifty switches.

Twenty five of them were electrical switches.

The twenty five electrical switches were for the escort room, the motion detectors, bedrooms one through four, the conference hall, kitchen, nook, and the other rooms that were found within the Alien Estate. This was also the room that featured the giant switch, which controlled all of the electricity that is found within Starmos City. And each electrical switch was meticulously labeled with an identification number and the name of the switch. This also applied to the five valves.

The first valve showed the label of AE Sprinkler. The AE

Sprinkler Valve controlled all of the sprinklers for the Alien Estate including the outdoor front lawn sprinklers. Followed by that was the Starmos Park Sprinkler which watered the plants and the lawn in Starmos Park. The Third Valve showed the label of the Starmos Street Fire hydrant. This would disable or enable the fire hydrants to be working. From there, the fourth valve showed the release of the flood gate, which was the barrier of protection from the river near Starmos City. Lastly, was the Cornelius Von Alien wake up hose. Will turned on Valve number one, the sprinkler system in the Alien Estate. A siren noise sounded as the valve was being turned on. Cornelius in the other room said to himself, "Why is this going on?" He walked back into the kitchen and when he'd arrived the sprinkler was on and he became soaked within a matter of seconds. However, the kitchen was clean as a whistle. Cornelius's alien skin once again started to turn red.

He asked Chef Will, "Now, why would you turn on the sprinkler when I told all of you to clean up this area with the toothbrushes?" Will answered, "Because, toothbrushes would have been hackneyed by the time we are finished with the cleaning of one tile." Cornelius replied in a patronizing way, "Then you buy another one." Will said, "Well, sir, we would have to need more than six hundred thousand toothbrushes to clean this kitchen. It is huge for crying out loud. You are nothing but an evil tyrant!" Cornelius replied, "Well, move on with your next task.”

Will asked, "And what would that be?”

Cornelius answered,

"Make the three of us desserts." Will asked Tom and Light, "Does a Crème Brule sound good to you?" Light answered, "Why, yes."

Cornelius, Light, and Tom walked into the nook and Will started gathering the ingredients for the Crème Brule. He had taken two of the three Crème Brule’s and cooked them. Fifteen minutes later, they were ready and he brought two of them inside the nook. The chef asked, "Does it look good to you?”

Tom answered, "Yes." Cornelius asked Will, "Where is mine?" Will answered, "Oh, yes. I need to get it from the kitchen. Can you give me a minute?" Cornelius answered, "Sure. One minute." The chef returned to the kitchen. He threw Cornelius's food inside of the oven and cooked it for thirty seconds. The snooty alien's Crème Brule wasn't cooked fully. He added some cinnamon powder to the dessert as though he was in a hurry. He said to himself, "That royal brute wants a high quality dish. I will show him high quality."
Will spat in Cornelius's dish and scurried into the other room.

When he arrived in the other room, the royal brute of an evil Cornelius had one hand flat on the table and another hand holding the two pronged fork facing upward. The evil, royal brute Cornelius asked, "Where's my food?" Chef Will answered, "It's right here." He sounded elated when he answered this question. A smile appeared on Will's face. Cornelius tasted the food. After his first taste, he said, "This Crème Brule is the best one I've ever tasted."

He tasted the delicious dessert a second time and after his third taste, he noticed something odd. A skeptical look entered his face. He asked Will, "Why does this taste like somebody spit in this?" The chef answered sarcastically, "I don't know! Why I would do such a thing to my royal highness especially a brute named Cornelius Von Alien?"

Cornelius angrily asked, "Who just called me a brute?" Will answered him, "I did and I am proud of it." Cornelius asked, "Why do you think I am such a brute?"

Will answered, "There are a lot of reasons why I think you are a brute. You scream, yell, make us clean areas with a toothbrush, control the electricity and the water over your fellow aliens, and you are nothing but an evil tyrant! Anything else?" Cornelius answered, "I think that is enough for you to answer my question. Now, do you want to be sentenced to the hole?" Will answered with a voice of intimidation, "No, sir." Cornelius replied, "Well, then you are to make me another Crème Brulée, pronto! Now, you better get in the kitchen immediately!" Will walked into the kitchen. He once again retrieved the ingredients for Cornelius's second Crème Brulée. He made the new dessert. But he added a “special” ingredient this time. He retrieved mercury and fish oil and placed it inside of the crème Brulée.

He said, "I will show that alien how invincible he is. He won't be invincible anymore because he'll be poisoned himself. He wanted to poison his two guests. I guess I will poison him the way he tried poisoning them." A satisfied smirk was on his face as he left the kitchen. He told Cornelius, "This food is good and healthy. Trust me."

Cornelius slammed his fork on the table and said, "Okay! And this better be good and I mean it." Will asked, "And what if it is lousy?"

Cornelius answered, "Well, I think you'll know what'll happen to you." Will replied, "Have your first taste and see what it's like. The food might be lousy." Cornelius dug his fork into the delicious dessert. When it reached his mouth, he screamed, "Ugh! That's disgusting!"

About thirty seconds later, he jumped on top of the table and asked Tom, "What's going on around here? Why am I acting like this?" Tom seriously answered, "I don't know! I'm not even paying attention!" Cornelius started to reiterate the question of “What's going on?” five times. Then he fell asleep into unconsciousness. Tom started to panic and he frantically asked Light, "What's going on!?" Light answered, "Well, Cornelius had an unconsciousness attack." Tom asked, "What is that?" Light answered, "It is when you are temporarily asleep." Tom asked, "So, how will he wake up?" Light answered, "He will wake up like you or I. But he will be asleep a little longer than you or I." Will asked "What should we do with “the body?" Tom answered, "How about we put him in his bedroom in his bed to make him look like he was sleeping." Will asked, "And why would we do such a thing?”
