The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter Page #3

...the difference between a rock...

...and a nose?

Why was Junior crying?

He's hungry.

Hungry?

With all these rocks around?

l don't understand it...

...myself...

...but all...

...goodness has gone out of the rocks.

...have turned empty.

There's nothing left...

...to nourish us.

lt's all part of the same thing.

You're fighting a losing battle,

Childlike Empress.

Soon your slick little castle...

...will be as dark as mine.

l didn't break the window!

Don't lie to me!

You promised to take me swimming.

You promised.

Something's come up.

l hate you! l hate you!

So that's what humans remember.

That's a memory Bastian has lost!

Excuse me.

What can l do for you?

Do you know Bastian? Bastian Bux?

Do we ever really know anybody?

l'm Bastian's father. Barney.

l found this book in my son's room.

Your address is inside the cover.

Really?

Where?

l don't understand.

l saw it there last night.

Look, l'm an engineer.

What l see is what l see when l see it.

lt's an interesting concept.

My son's missing since last night.

Heavy reading for a young man.

When did you last see him?

Maybe you'll find the explanation

for his disappearance...

...inside.

We were getting worried about you.

Where have you been?

l convinced some warriors

to help us take the castle.

Warriors?

Where are they?

Right here.

Atreyu, get real!

But l am real!

What do you mean, ''get real''?

Forget it. lt's a joke.

Being real is a joke in your world?

Yeah!

What's in the bag?

Our army.

Come here.

Never mind. You'll grow into it.

And so will you.

The machine's working out well, isn't it?

lt would work better if you were out there

making the Earthling wish.

lt's so cold out there.

That's the plan.

lt's dangerous, but it just might work.

lt has to work.

l'm glad you came back to Fantasia.

l am, too.

What if something happens to you?

Somebody must miss you in your world.

Nobody misses me.

But what about you?

Don't you miss somebody?

The only one l miss...

...isn't there.

Who's that?

My mom.

Look.

The lvory Tower.

Now it's a prison.

We may never see the Empress again.

Right now...

...all we have are memories.

Bastian.

ln your world...

...if The Neverending Story...

...is fading...

...no child will ever know...

...about Junior.

They'll never ride the prairie with me?

They'll never ride

through the clouds with me?

lf humans...

...forget about us...

...nobody will think...

...for Junior to do.

No!

We won't let that happen.

Bastian, here!

Atreyu, quick, help me!

l'm burning! lt hurts!

l can't breathe!

Are you all right?

You saved my life, Atreyu.

Yes. But you would have done

the same for me.
