June is an exciting month. School is out. Lazy days of exploration and fun. The air smells sweeter the breeze feels magical. A time to solve a mystery. We may have so much fun and get involved in an intricate riddle that we will not return to regular time in the fall.

‘It was a long school year,’ Jane said. ‘I did not know second grade would be so hard,’ Jane continued. ‘Equations are killer,’ Jane laughed. ‘The deeper I got into them, the more mysterious they became, Jane noted. ‘At times I would be so lost it became difficult to return to the non-mathematics universe,’ Jane sighed. ‘Equations explaining concepts of the universe that are beyond our comprehension,’ the Physicist tells us. ‘I am ready for a trip to Pounds Hollow, Jane proclaimed.

‘The water looks especially inviting today,’ Chet beamed. ‘I can see the bottom and all that is on the lake floor,’ Chet marveled. ‘There is Mr Creature’s home,’ Chet observed. ‘Look, my home is in the deep water, and Dad is waving and grinning,’ Chet said with wonder. ‘It seems that Pounds Hollow has been transformed by something magical,’ Chet observed. ‘I think we must dive in and go under to see if our eyes are deceiving us,’ Chet suggested.

‘Greeting my friends,’ AE said. ‘I have been waiting for you to arrive,’ AE continued. ‘Welcome to the mystery of time,’ AE said with a puff on his pipe. ‘Here we all exist at the same time in the waters of Time,’ AE winked. ‘Yesterday, today and tomorrow are here for your enjoyment,’ AE laughed. ‘You guys understand the Theory of Relativity,’ AE noted. ‘What you are seeing is the visual explanation of the mathematical equation,’ AE said as he pushed back his great shock of white hair. ‘Across the pond is your school, and you are currently in mathematics class,’ AE laughed. ‘Your adventures and the mysteries you will solve this summer are unparalleled,’ AE proclaimed.

‘Oh my goodness, where did I go?’ Jane said with a nervous laugh.

‘Today is the last day of school, and you just finished your last equation for the year,’ Chet smiled.
