Magic in the Water Page #4

Yeah. Yeah. You're not hurt.

Dad, you saved me.

If you hadn't of catched me...

Kids, let's give him a chance to rest. Okay?

He'll be home very soon.

Jack, open your eye for me. Keep it open.

I had the weirdest dream.

PreSun

You're gonna die of melanoma.

I'm gonna die of boredom.

CHAPTER 1

You guys wanna have some fun?

Don't you guys want a turn? Be a lot faster.

Wouldn't it be faster just to take a plane?

No. This is the only way to get to China.

I used to try this all the time by myself

when I was a kid...

but I could never get there

because I always had to do it...

myself.

- Yeah, I bet.

- My dad never helped.

He was too...

Dad, I thought you said

you didn't remember your childhood.

That it was locked

in the deepest recesses of your mind.

It's okay, Dad. I'll help you dig to China.

Dad!

Isn't it time we did that

father-son bonding thing or something?

Can't we do something normal?

Like take this puppy out for a spin?

I'm supposed to wanna do

that kind of thing at my age.

It's a teen thing.

Too noisy.

Besides, we must be getting close.

Yup! Shouldn't be long now.

Come on, Dad. You promised.

This is bullshit!

This place sucks!

Did I say something?

What are we gonna do with all this sand?

And there was nothing

little Jackie wanted more...

than to be a knight

at King Arthur's round table.

But everyone just said:

"It'll never happen, pal. You're too puny."

Anyway, Jackie knew

that King Arthur's knights...

were scheduled to fight the Mud People...

the very next day

on the top of Mud Mountain at noon.

So he got up early,

and he climbed the mountain...

and he waited by a small metal cross

embedded in the top of the hill.

Pretty soon,

he heard the sound of marching.

But to his horror, it was the Mud People.

They had arrived an hour early

because they're Mud People.

Anyway, Mud People all around.

Jackie figured he'd better do something.

So he pulled the metal cross

out of the ground.

But to his surprise...

the metal cross

turned out to be a huge sword.

Well, the Mud People,

they just gurgled and laughed...

and then something incredible

started to happen.

Mud Mountain began to tremble...

and shake and grow.

And the shaking threw the Mud People

off their slimy feet.

And Jackie just stood there speechless...

as the head of this giant dragon...

appeared and said:

"Thanks, bubba."

"That sword's been a pain in my neck

for a long time."

Because Mud Mountain...

was actually the back of a giant dragon

that had been asleep for centuries.

Jackie woke him up.

Yes, he did.

And all of King Arthur's court cheered...

as Jackie returned riding his dragon...

who he called Curtis
