April and the Extraordinary World Page #3

Once again,

a little girl wins a barrel of coal.

PRODIGIES AND WONDERS

OF MAGICAL CHEMISTRY

Thank you!

Thank you!

I know you're all breathlessly

anticipating the next miracle!

Lithium, potassium, calcium.

A rainbow of fire color!

Move it!

April!

He's coming!

Hey!

Hey, you!

Hurry up!

I gotcha,

ya dirty little...

Stop her! Thief!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

A talking cat?

- Maximum surveillance, send in the rat spy.

- As you wish.

Huh?

Thief!

Come back!

Someone stop her!

Oh! Honey,

where have you been?

I've looked all over

for you!

Your bag!

Open your bag!

Hey! Whoa! Where are your manners?

Don't touch my girl like that.

Yeah, well, you should see

what your girl's been doing...

Huh?

You're lucky I'm

with my sweetie.

If not, I'd shove that clown hat of

yours where the sun don't shine!

There's a little boy named Leo

waiting for his mom

by the molten furnace.

Your tiger here

doesn't look so hot.

Uh, hey, I don't know

what to say so...

Thanks.

Here, think this is yours.

Magic.

You do magic with that stuff, too?

I'd love to see it,

say, your place?

I, uh... Listen,

thanks again but

you wouldn't like my place.

And I don't live alone.

So better just leave it at that.

Filtration, good.

Inserting enzymatic.

Molecular hybridization.

Injecting mutant agent.

And now,

colloidal solution... Done!

There.

Oxidation-reduction...

Glycolysis.

I don't have exactly what I need,

but it should still work, Darwin!

You could be cured.

Come on, come on.

What does it feel like

to be kissed?

Did he bite you?

Lick your tongue?

Did you like it?

Swallow and shut up.

It should've

worked by now.

Do you feel anything?

Thanks for this wonderful day.

And now,

I can finally leave.

And where will

you go? Silly.

I'm going

to find Homer

and Plato and Shakespeare...

And also Perrault.

I've got a few things

to teach him about cats.

April, I'm thirsty.

Darwin?

Darwin!

This is your fault!

Why did I listen to you?

I never should have

let you go outside

to breathe in

that crappy soot!

And this...

This is crap, too!

Everything is crap!

Useless! Useless!

All of it!

Argh!

CHEMISTRY AND COAL

THE MYSTERIES OF PARIS

I hope you don't

expect me to clean up this mess.

Darwin?

You're, you're cured!

Hey, that tickles!

Ha!

Is this even possible?

With this, it is. I just swallowed some,

and now I'm fine!

Hold on, you just drank this

liquid and now you're cured?

This globe, my mother gave it

to me the last time I saw her.

The serum!

My parents never got to test the

last version of their serum!

I don't know how

they got it in here,

but you drank it! Darwin!

My parents actually did it!

The Ultimate Serum

really works!

And let me tell you, it's

better than chicken soup!

I feel like

I swallowed a panther!

Ya-whoo!

Hmm.

You may applaud.

Huh?

You! What are you doing here?

Nothing, just admiring

the view! Help me!

Oh! Thank you.

That was a close one.

I think I may need

to change my underwear.

So, Romeo,

was it love that made

you climb the balcony?

Are you spying on me?

I told you

to leave me alone!

Uh, and is that also

part of your act, too?

My little sparrow!

It's your father!

Can't be...

April, listen to me!

I don't have much time!

You're in danger!

They're coming for you!

Leave immediately! The oak! Go to the

big oak tree as fast as you can!

With any luck...

Darwin!

Sorry, feline instinct.

I can't control it.

What is this thing?

And how?

Father is alive?

Uh, something's

going on outside.

We have to go. Right now!

Why? What is it?

Huh?

Phew!

Uh, where're

you going?

Your place. Smart guy like you

must live somewhere nice.

You can put us up for

the night. Thank you!

What? Is there a problem?

You don't like people

stopping by unannounced?

And don't get any ideas!

There'll be no more exchanging saliva!

I'll sleep on my side

and Darwin'll stand guard!

Hmm. I think she likes you.

So, where do you live?

- What happened?

- You're back.

How's the rat?

Got him back.

He's at the lab.

What's happening?

We were about to get the serum

and she took off like

she knew we were coming.

Exactly. One of the scientists

took control of the spy rat!

Come, I have everything ready.

My love, you are far

too lenient with the humans!

These scientists have too much freedom!

This one should be punished!

Brutality

is against our principles.

Paul Franklin,

stand up, please.

You erased your transmission.

What did you

tell your daughter?

You know as I know, this project can

finally be finished with April's help.

Where can we find her?

In a few moments,

you're going to be smiling a lot less

and talking a lot more.

Rodrigue.

Merely warning him, my dear.

Paul, if you won't tell us,

then maybe you'll be more

talkative with someone else.

You can come in now.

Nice place!

Is this how you pay

your rent here?

Hey, I found those!

I'm a collector! Got a problem with that?

You can sleep there, and

I'll stay in this corner.

There's a bucket for,

uh, well, you know what.

How do you do it?

Standing or like normal cats?

I'm normal, but I don't

like to be watched.

By the way, name's Julius.

Goodnight, Julius.

Uh, you wanna explain

what happened at the statue?

I don't know.

And your cat,

how come he can talk?

He talks, that's all.

The rat that said "Father,"

is he like the cat?

No, I don't think so.

You lost your parents, right?

What's it to you?

What's with all the questions?

Well, uh,

you're young,

you live alone.

I doubt it's 'cause you want to.

I know how you feel.

My mom and dad,

I never knew who they were.

At least, you never knew

what you regret.

So, you have nobody?

A brother, an uncle,

or a grandfather?

It's none

of your business!

Doesn't matter,

I'm leaving tomorrow with Darwin,

and you can go back

to being a "collector."

But for now, let me sleep!

I can help if you want.

You should think about it.

I told you already.

I don't need anyone.

Without him, you would

have been caught at the fair

and you'd have never heard

your father's message.

Julius, do you know

where there's an oak in Paris?

- A what?

- An oak. A tree.

You mean the tree? Sure, there's

only one left in the whole city.

Ugh! We've been here for hours.

What're we waiting for?

I don't know.

Now be quiet and wait.

OAK:

Hmm.

"Certain varieties can live

to 1,100 years old."

"The oak was

widespread throughout Europe.

"And at present, only

three specimens remain."

This doesn't interest you?

No, Professor Darwin,

Mr. Boring Scientist.

Don't look at me.

Don't look at me.

101 rue de Bayonet,

Svres.

To get in,

remember this number, 1931.

Wait here one hour before you go.

I must leave here alone.

What just happened?

What're you doing?

He told us to wait.

I thought

you were in a rush.

Annette, for 10 years I've been

watching those surveillance screens.

And the minute

I finally find April,
