Stevo by DDogyoman
 
The year was 3007. Stevo had just been born. To everyone else he was just another baby. Little did they know he would be the savior of their civilization.

          A few days after Stevo’s birth Bobo (one of Cheesy’s scientists) invented the time machine. This machine ending up in Stevo’s generation was just one of the many steps leading to his greatness. At five years old Stevo was assigned his friends, and given his stereotype. This was the policy in Cheesytopia. He was set in the stereotype “Skater”. His assigned friends were Willo (“Gangster”), Carlo (“Skater”), Charlo (“Goth”), and Phillo (“Nerd”).

                                                7 Years Later:
 It was Stevo’s 12th birthday; all his friends were there. It should have been great but something was bothering him. Weirdo was acting really weird today. Well he always acted weird but today he was acting very skittish. No one was supposed to interact with anyone outside of his or her O-World, but everyone did anyway and so Stevo went over to Weirdo.

            “What’s up” said Stevo.

             “What’s up?! I’ll tell you what’s up! I’m gonna get sent back to the year 2007! That’s what’s up!”

             “But why!?" Asked Stevo.

            “It’s cause I’m too “weird”, at least that’s what Cheesy says.”

            “All right,” said Stevo, “I’ll go back to my friends. We’ll see what we can do to help.”

           Stevo went over to his friends and said, “Hey guys!” Said Stevo.

           “What?” asked Phillo.

           “I got some bad news.”

           “Righteous! What is it?” exclaimed Charlo.

           “You know Weirdo?”
    
         “Yeah.” They all said.

         “Well he’s getting sent back to the year 2007!”

         “What!?" shouted Carlo. “Why?”

        “It's 'cause Cheesy says he’s too weird,” said Stevo.

        “Well, we have to save him!” exclaimed Willo.

       “Yeah, if we don’t, he’ll burn in the bottomless pits of the underworld!” stated Charlo.

        “All right, so it’s settled, said Stevo. “We’ll meet back here tonight at 11:45 tonight. The time machine leaves at 12:00.”

        “Settled!” They all yelled simultaneously.

         That night Stevo couldn’t sleep. He lay in his bed with anger towards Cheesy, the dictator. He had been their leader for as long as Stevo could remember. He had these rules. They were pretty dumb rules but everyone was so used to them, and scared of Cheesy and his army that they just followed them with out speaking up. You see Cheesy didn’t want to be thrown out of power, so he thought if there were no conflicts or fights people would just accept him as their leader. He was right. The way he kept the peace was dividing people up into different stereotypes and would keep them with their own stereotypes. He also assigned you friends from other stereotypes to “balance out your personality.” Your family, your fellow stereotype members, and your assigned friends became your “O-World.” To avoid conflict you were forbidden to interact with anyone outside of your O-World.

When Stevo’s alarm clock rang at 11:30 he jumped out of bed and ran all the way to the park where his friends stood waiting for him.
 
    "Hi Stevo," said Carlo.
 
    "Hey guys." said Stevo, "All right here's what we have to do. Cheesy's castle is right there, a few blocks away. We're gonna have to sneak in."
 
    Stevo and his friends ran to the palace. It looked even bigger and more ominous in the night.
 
    "I took a tour here once," said Carlo, "The guards sleep at night because Cheesy thinks that everyone is too scared to break in."
 
    "Does anyone have a lock pick?" asked Stevo.          
 
    "I do, but I don't know how to use it," Said Charlo.
 
    "I know how to use a lock pick." Stated Willo, "Throw it over here."
  
    Charlo tossed the lock pick to Willo. Willo obviously hadn't had much practice, however within minutes the lock had been taken off and Stevo and the gang were in the halls of Cheesy's Castle. After a few minutes of frantic searching, Stevo and his friends came to the center of the castle. In the center room there was a strange looking machine with a timer that said 3 seconds on it!
 
    "Quick!" yelled Stevo. "Everyone Run!"
 
    They all ran the fastest they'd ever run in their young lives. Stevo was the first to make it. He jumped, not knowing if the others would make it. Then everything started to spin really fast. Too fast, and then … There was nothing.
 
    Stevo woke up to a beam of light. When he opened his eyes he found himself in the time machine with all his friends surrounding him.
 
    "Yes!" Stevo said to himself, "They all made it!"
 
    It was then when Stevo remembered the reason he was here. In the front of the machine he saw a head with wavy hair.
 
    "Weirdo!" Exclaimed Stevo.
 
    Stevo walked over to the seat and was surprised to find that Weirdo was wide-awake.
 
    "Stevo!? How'd you get here, I- but- you- I'm in 2007!"
 
    "I told you we would help you out."
 
    "What do you mean "we" you mean there's more people with you?"
 
    "Yeah," said Stevo, "All my friends are here."
 
    "Woah, that’s great! Now I brought more people down with me."
 
    "What are you talking about? We're gonna get you outta here, but first lets explore 2007! After all, it is 1000 years in the past."
 
    Stevo woke his friends up one by one. And they all walked out of the time machine into their first day in the twenty- first century. When they stepped outside they saw many old cars like the ones they'd seen in history class.
 
    "Hey look there's one of those ancient Dodge Nitros." exclaimed
Charlo, "Whoa, we must be way back in time."
 
    "Yeah," said Phillo, "They actually run on wheels."
 
    The landscape wasn't much different except there were fewer houses and apartment buildings, and it was a lot cooler. It was actually only about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, but Stevo, his friends, and Weirdo were used to about 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
 
    "C'mon guys," said Phillo, "Let's get out of here."
 
    "Ok," said Stevo, "But first let's explore around. Hey look, there's a small building. Let's go check it out."
 
    They walked into the building, and found that it was a store. While they were in the store they heard a cool song by Akon and Eminem.
 
    "Boy, I really like this music," said Willo, "It has a cool beat."
 
    "Yeah!" said Charlo. "I like it too"
 
    "Me too!"
 
    "Me too!"
 
    "Me too!"
 
    "Well," said Stevo, "I guess we all like this music."
"Yeah…"said Phillo, "But Cheesy would probably say it's only for gangsters."
 
    "Yeah…" Said Stevo.
 
    It was then when Stevo got the idea that would save his civilization.
 
    "I got it!"
 
    "Got what?" asked Carlo.
 
    "I got an idea. If we like this music so much then people back in the future probably will too. And Cheesy will probably say it's only for gangsters. Then if enough people disagree with him, we can throw him out of power and Weirdo can stay in the future!"
 
    "It's brilliant!" stated Phillo. "Absolutely brilliant!"
 
    "Yeah, too bad Cheesy Bucks haven't been invented yet for us to buy the boom box and the C.D 'cause that’s all we got!" Said Charlo.
 
    "Oh!" said a voice from the counter.
 
    Everyone looked up see the Cashier.
 
    "You guys don't have enough money? That’s ok, I'll pay for you. I'm feeling nice today."
 
    "Gee thanks mister," said Phillo, "What's your name?"
 
    "My name's Johno, and I'm a hippie."
 
    "By Johno the Hippie," said Stevo; "We'll remember you!"
 
    And with that they all headed back to the time machine, and back to the future.
 
    "Stevo! Stevo wake up!"
"What? Hey? Whoa? Where am I?"
 
    "We're in Cheesy's castle. It's the middle of the day, so the guards are awake. All our friends are awake too. C'mon let's go, hurry!"
 
    When Stevo did look outside of the time machine he found that he was in fact in Cheesy's castle. It was then that he heard the footsteps.
 
    "Guards! C'mon everyone run!"
 
    They all ran as fast as they could, panting, sides aching, but they pushed on, all the way to Stevo's house where they were safe.
 
    "All right guys," said Stevo, "We haven't got much time. Cheesy probably has guards searching for us so we've got to act fast. Phillo. You're a nerd, you can hack into the main firewall speaker system and attach the boombox to it right?"
 
    "Like, Duh…"
 
    "All right, good. Now the rest of us need to go outside and yell for everyone to come out of their houses and listen to the music. Let's go!"
 
    After that everything went according to plan, Phillo hooked up the boombox perfectly. Everyone heard the music and Cheesy was thrown out of power. And the best thing that happened was the new leader became Stevo! Stevo eliminated all of the stupid stereo type rules. He made it so that you could be free to do what you want, sort of like the world we of 2007… Only better!
