The Rubicle Cubical  Ch. 1 Thirty years before the incident there was a boy named Seth. He was 17 and ready too start his CDT of Career Destination Test. Which is a test in order to determine a career for you. You see we live in a society called Utopia where everything is perfect and there is no stress of day to day life. My name is Jorge, Seth and me have been friends since we were little. The test room was full of people, everyone being somewhat nervous, giving me an advantage to score well. You see I have been the most intelligent in my class since the first grade and I can always get the ladies. On the other hand Seth Ehlang was opposite, all he ever wanted to do was play stupid video games. How do you get good grades or ladies when all you do is play video games. Well you can’t. His life is going nowhere! Mr. Machete the instructor says”Class it is time to take the test, will you please pick up your pencils and begin. You have one hour.”  Ch. 2 One hour of grueling test taking went by and finally we were done with the CDT’s. After the test Seth and me went to the dorms. As we arrived at the dorms we notice a party going on so we decided to check it out. It was the greatest party ever! There was dew pong, soda, finger snacks, and lots of other fun games. Seth got such a sugar rush he was forced off the premises. I left the party at about eight o’clock because we had a huge science test in the morning and I had to be mentally prepared for it. I called up one of my acquittance’s Cole. He was kind of a nerd so I would not call him my friend but he was really smart and together Seth, Cole, and me were going to win the space shuttle ride to the planet mars. We get a weeks stay on the planet to study the science of what could have inhabited mars. Cole answered and we set the study time for 3 in the morning, so I decided to hit the hay.  Ch. 3 Beep Beep Beep. The alarm clock goes off I look and see, 3:00. So tired but I knew what I needed to do to win the trip. Cole was at my door and soon enough we were studying our hearts away. Six hours of hard studying passed and we were on our way to the gymnasium to take the test. Soon the test was ready to be taken and I was exhausted but ready. The test was hard and there were some questions that I had no idea meant. But overall I think that I had done pretty good. The results came about twenty minutes later and turns out we had won the trip thanks to Cole who got a perfect one hundred percent. What a nerd!!! I could not believe it, we were going to mars! In 3 days we will be the first 17 year old kids to be on another planet. The next day Cole Seth and I decided to skip school in celebration for our outstanding victory. We went to the mall to get some supplies for the trip, but all Cole wanted to do was play games at the arcade. After we had gone shopping we all went home and dreamed about what it would be like on Mars.

 Ch. 4 Day 1-the take off It was time for the biggest moment in our lives. We are all geared up and ready to take off to outer-space. The shuttles engines started, we braced ourselves and the countdown started. 3-2-1...blast off. We shot off into the air at tremendous speed and in no time we were in space. I look out the window and all you can see is darkness. I started wondering what else could be out there in the great beyond that we have not discovered yet. Seth yelled at us “Hey guys look what I can do.”, he did a back flip while floating in mid air. I could already tell that this was going to be a fun trip. All of us started doing flips and other sick tricks until our scanner was telling us to sit down. We were about to land.

Ch. 5 Day 1-The landing We were 5 minutes from hitting our platform but the cool thing was that we did not have to do anything, mission control did everything. We just sat back and relaxed. All of a sudden we heard a weird noise coming from our luggage compartment. We made Cole check it out. Cole floats carefully towards the luggage when out pops a boy with a jumpsuit and a few air tanks. “HOLY CRUD!” “You scared me” said Cole. “Sorry I really wanted to come on this trip so I snuck on.”. “Who are you?”, “My name is Shay, I promise I will not be a nuisance, and who’s doritos bag did I accidentally squish.” Everyone agreed to let him in on our mission. We will be landing shortly.

Ch. 6 Day 1-Greeting We had finally arrived on the planet. It was a dream come true I had been dreaming of this moment my whole life all there was to do now was open the door. All our gear was on and we opened the door. The land was barren, it was a desert of red with no cacti, or water. From eye to eye it was like a mind game there was nothing but one little observatory built dab smack in the middle of nowhere. We entered the small observatory and to our surprise it was very well organized and cleaned up. We heard a voice coming from the back room and decided we should check it out. The man was very tall and had a very scruffy beard but looked as if he had no emotions. The man muttered to himself then said aloud, “Hello young explorers I was told you were coming today but I had no idea you would get here so late” We all felt a little uncomfortable as we introduced ourselves to weirdo stranger that we just met. “I actually have found a new discovery this morning while digging up mars gold. Hear me out, I found a cube!” the scientist said with enthusiasm. “You found a cube??? How does that relate to what you are really doing here again?” “Well this means that there has been life on Mars, I am going to call this the rubicle cubicl!”.

We were all having a good time when the lights shut down. We all scrambled around trying to find the light switch. A few moments had passed in complete darkness and Seth finally found the switch, but it was not working. Mr. Goldstein decided to go check out the power generators. About 10 minutes of all the kids alone a screeching sound came from the air vents and they were loosing air quickly. They put on their spacesuits and assigned me to search for the scientist. The first place that came to mind to look for him at was the generator. It took about 10 minutes to find my way but I finally got there. I found an E-flashlight on the wall and used it to look around. But no one was there. I got the power turned on and everything seemed normal except there was still the sound of a leaking air vents(which we had Shay check on). I made my way back to the living quarters and found Seth sleeping in his bed. But where in the world was Cole? I decided to get some sleep and worry about it in the morning. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Day 2 morning <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I awoke to a dead silence, Cole must have fixed the air leak. I sat up and noticed something different, the walls were white like something off of a movie. Everything looked smooth and curvy. I was no longer wearing my suit but school clothing from what looked to be the sixties. This must have been some sort of dream or something. Seth awoke and fell off the bunk above me. “Owe! That hurt! Where are we, and where is everyone else?” “I do not know but this is really starting to freak me out.”. I stood up and walked to the door and tried to open it. We were locked in, prisoners. We waited in that room anxiously for hours wondering what might happen to us if we do not escape. Suddenly the door open and what I saw disgusted me. Short people with huge heads and suction cupped fingers, but the worst thing was they kind of looked like me.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Ch. 8 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">They told us to come with them as they pointed their laser guns. We decided to follow them, the signs all read of “Danger Cryo Chamber, do not go past this point without authorization.” and it seemed as if they were taking us there. We were there after walking about 200 miserable steps of mind games. Now we will find out what they will do to us. There was a big screen in front of us and the room we were in was quite large and fairly dark. The screen turned on and showed Cole and Shay about to be tested on by giant robots. We thought quickly we needed to get out of this chamber to save Cole and Shay. An air vent, there had to be a vent leading to every room, Seth spots one on the ceiling and gives me a boost. I was in and the vent was narrow and I could not see anything. The first glimpse of light came and I looked through it, not our friends. I crawled for about 15-20 minutes before I finally found them. Cole was being tested on, it was to late for him but not Shay. My plan was to break through the vent find a saw and kill the robots help Shay in the vents get Seth and go home. But that did not work for when I broke through the vent I landed on the robot killed it and the ships alarm had gone off. Poor Cole we had to leave him there or we would all die. I climbed up into the vents and helped everyone else in. We sure did dodge that bullet, but we needed to get back to Seth quickly. On the way back to the chamber we saw Seth being taken away by the creatures, so we found a tunnel that could follow them to where they were going. On the was I see a sign saying “EMERGENCY SPACESHIP DO NOT USE WITHOUT DESIGNATED AUTHORIZATION!” so now we knew how to get the heck out of here. But first we needed Seth. He had been put in some sort of electronic prison with lasers as bars. We kicked the vents open and started attacking the guards. We threw him aside and took the key from his pocket from him. Unlocking Seth’s cell he collapsed with exhaustion. The cell must have been draining his energy. Quickly I tell Shay to carry him on his shoulders. Moments later we were sprinting down corridors dodging bullets robots and aliens. Finally the escape ship was in sight, as we were approaching it a giant alien jumped from one of the corridors and sprinted at us with such intensity Seth woke back up. We hurriedly got into the ship but Shay took his sweet time getting in and got attacked. I pulled what looked to be a brake and the ship was ejected from the building. Into space we went, we did it. We escaped the aliens, but now where do we go. Where are we and where is earth. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">THE END
