No run away to join circus! Really!

i tired of hanging out around carnival. carnie very strange people. there one person here able to breathe fire. also, he no have teeth. he burn them all away.

evil butterfly man put me to work until i can figure out how time travel and save suresh-sensei. they make me pick up garbage. i son of ceo of yamagato industries, and here i am picking up trash. ひどいよ that mean nasty!

cotton candy very tasty, but difficult to clean. make everything sticky. i swear! i never eat again!

then, they make me dress up as clown and entertain audience. when i was little kid, i always want to run away and join circus so i can be clown. now, i no like. maybe it because evil butterfly man make me do. also, i discover that many people afraid of clown. i try to entertain child, and he point and start to cry.

“mommy! mommy!” he say. “i scared of clown.”

“you no worry. i okay. i good clown. very funny. ne?” i say.

then i make face. little kid scream and run away. even some adult afraid of clown. big guy get frightened and punch in face. i always get punch in face. maybe i stick to being magician from now on. i no frighten people and they no punch me in face.

i also do very bad thing to get charlie-san back. i do favor for evil butterfly man in order to save her. i save movie reel that he want very bad. what he no know is i also save suresh-sensei. i regret doing now because suresh-sensei want to stomp on evil butterfly man right away.

“hiro, we got to stop evil butterfly man now. let’s go!” suresh-sensei say.

“no, i tell him. you must find place to hide for eight week. that way i can save charlie-san,” i tell him.

“no, you no understand,” suresh-sensei say to me, “we got to stop evil butterfly man now. very dangerous.”

“i know that, but if we go now, evil butterfly man no tell me where charlie-san is. besides, you very smart scientist, but you no have common sense. do very dumb thing. don’t feel bad though. many smart people like this. i no want to go with you to stomp on bad butterfly man. i better off doing myself. less likely to make bigger problem. remember time you think it good idea to inject self with formula? experiment on self? you almost turn into the fly. very big problem, like i say.”

“if that what you want to do, i go without you,” suresh-sensei tell me.

he about to leave and i stop-o time. i trap him in funny farm.

oops. i do it again. he going to be very angry with me. what people no understand is i sometimes use power to get problematic people out of way. just ask this guy.

i better not tell charlie-san what i do. she be very mad and break up with me for sure. now, i wonder where charlie-san is. my luck, evil butterfly man put her in cell next to where i put suresh-sensei…

when i go back to carnival, i give evil butterfly man movie and say, “i do you favor. now you tell me where charlie-san is.”

“sorry, hiro, but you need to go clean up ride over there. someone eat too much elephant ear and get sick on.”

“awww…come on!” i tell evil butterfly man, “you promise!”

“do you want charlie back or not?” he tell me. i sigh. then i grab mop and bucket and clean up mess. i thought cotton candy bad. this worse.

“okay, now you tell me where charlie-san is?” i ask him when i finish. but no. evil butterfly man no tell me. he just give me more work to do. now i have to go clean up after elephant.

warning to people with ability. no work for evil butterfly man! he give workers shit jobs. also, he no offer benefits package.

Ja ne!
