Chapter 10

Prof Utopia stared at Ray in bewilderment, "Yeah obviously I won't know until you tell me."

"Can you let us test out your Dimensional Traveller?" Ray asked, hoping that he can get out of this place as soon as possible.

"Oh sure. But don't blame me for any mishaps." Prof Utopia led them into his laboratory. "Girls, this place is too dangerous for you. Stay outside." He warned the three little girls who were following them.

"Aw. This sucks." Buttercup complained.

"There. My Dimensional Traveller." Prof Utopia pointed to a silvery machine with many lights and buttons. "Go on in." He smiled.

Ray stepped inside without thinking. "Come on Tanya. It's air-conditioned! You don't get much air-conditioning back in Infral..."

Tanya, being the smarter one of the pair, remembered the Social Studies skills she had learnt when she was 1 year old. "Are you sure this thing is reliable, sir? Can you show us some evidence before we go in and become your guinea pigs?" Tanya asked, apparently not trusting whatever Prof Utopia is saying.

"Oh sure." He showed Tanya a 9224 pages thick volume filled with equations and diagram. "There, the evidence you wanted."

Tanya flipped through it, not understanding a thing inside, but in a bid to make herself look smart, she pretended that she understood the contents. "That's some pretty comprehensive stuff you have there." Tanya said, as she was flipping through the pages.

"Yeah, so are you convinced now?" Prof Utopia asked.

"Oh ok." Tanya replied, as he went in to join Ray inside the machine.

"See, I told you this place was cool." Ray said.

"Prepare yourself for the journey!" Prof Utopia screamed, as he pressed a few buttons that caused the entrance of the machine to close and slowly, the machine roared into action as it started glowing...

"We are flying!" Ray screamed as they vanished from the laboratory.

"Where are we?" Ray asked, looking around for evidences that may tell them where they are at.

They were in a well decorated, colourful room, with many toys and plushies thrown all over. Tanya took out the 9224 page thick volume of notes and started reading it, hoping that it may give them a hint of where they are.

Ray turned to Tanya and tried to read the notes as well. "What is the title of this thing." Ray asked, as he flipped the notes over to reveal the first page, which reads: Illustrated Maths Equations for Dummies.
