Novel 11 - Simon Cowell In Chalk Land

Happy New Year, readers. The Idols are back in yet another interesting adventure with their magical friend Nemo the Persian cat.

This novel is a tribute to the British television cartoon Simon In The Land Of Chalk Drawings which was produced in 1974 by Film Fair London Productions.

It concerned the adventures of young Simon who could turn anything he drew on his blackboard to life and enter the magical land of chalk drawings beyond the blackboard.

Many thanks to all individuals, alive or dead, who made Simon In The Land Of Chalk Drawings a popular cartoon on British television in the 1970s. God bless them all.

Happy reading.

Simon Cowell, the acerbic American Idol judge is resting in his bedroom after having a drink.
He has been surfing on his computer and has just received several e-mails from his friends in the entertainment world.
Enrique Iglesias of Spain just told him that he had become a nicer guy in American Idol Season 4.
His opinion was also shared by U2, Denzel Washington, Elton John, Robbie Williams, Will Young and Gareth Gates.

"Thanks guys," says Simon in his standard reply to his friends.

Just then, Nemo the cat appears in Simon's room. He is followed by a little piece of white chalk.

"Hey! I remember this piece of chalk. I found it behind my house when I was a kid. I used to imagine that everything I drew could come true," says Simon.

Simon sketches a little door on a blackboard in his bedroom. In a split second, he turns into dust and is absorbed into the door. Nemo joins him, too.

Beyond the door, Simon stumbles upon a little white kitten.

"Hey, pussycat! Could you move aside, please. I don't want to hurt you."

"Meow!" says the timid little kitten.

Simon picks up the kitten in his hands and starts stroking it.

"Nemo, is he your relative?" asks Simon.

Nemo meows and an SMS appears in Simon's hand phone. It reads: "His name is Cutey. Be nice to him."

Cutey starts to meow louder. Simon says: "Please calm down, puss. You'll lose your voice."

A little fox appears behind Simon and starts to snarl at him. "Grrr!" says the fox.

Simon's SMS reads: "Say hello to Fifi. She takes care of Cutey."

Simon says: "Oh, hi, Fifi. Sorry I'm playing with your kid brother. I mean him no harm."

An eagle and a hornbill land in front of Simon, Cutey and Fifi. Two more foxes, similar in breed to Fifi, also appear.

Simon's hand phone lets out a deafening "Breeep!"

Pretty Farah Anuar emerges, dressed in denim and flashing a generous smile.

"Hello, gorgeous!" says Simon to Farah.

"Oh, hi, Mr Simon. I'm so lucky to see you today." says excited Farah.

"Don't be nasty to my friends, OK!"

Farah tells Nemo to transform the cat, foxes and birds into her friends again.

In a flash, Cutey becomes Saipul Bakeri, Fifi becomes Nurul Hamid, the hornbill becomes Amy Azlan, the eagle becomes Amylea Azizan, and the two other foxes become Atie Abu Bakar and Azza Suaymi.

Simon bites his lips. "I thought I was dreaming but it's real," he says.

"How do I get out of here, Farah?"

Just then, handsome Soo Kui Jien appears. He is Farah's favourite television host, and the Malaysian Idol co-host.

He is joined by Akademi Fantasia host Aznil Nawawi.

Aznil tells Simon: "We need your help. The Chalk Land is crumbling and you must save us all."

Jien says: "Use your imagination, Simon. You can do it. We trust you."

Saipul says: "Simon, I'm so glad to see you. Please be nice to us, OK."

Amylea ticks off Saipul. "Esh! Cuba diam sikit, yang (Watch your words, sweetheart. Be nice to Simon, please)."

Saipul gets annoyed and says: "Amylea muda dari Saipul. U tak boleh order Saipul (Amylea, you are younger than me and should not order me around)."

Nurul smacks Saipul's hand gently. She says: "Yang, tolong jangan marah. Amylea ni sayang sama Saipul. Kami ni wanita memang cepat matang (Darling, please don't lose your cool. Amylea loves you. We ladies mature faster)."

Farah, Atie, Azza and Amy agree with Nurul. They tell Saipul to calm down.

Simon says: "Saipul, I would have felt hurt if I were in your shoes, at your age. But however nasty I am, I still believe that off-stage we should be like gentlemen."

Saipul apologises to Amylea. She proceeds to give him a hug. Nurul, Farah, Atie, Azza and Amy also hug him.

Simon says: "Can I, Saipul?"

Nurul looks at Simon, and with a smile, she says: "Tolong jangan kacau adik kamek, ya (Please don't disturb my kid brother)."

Farah tells Nurul, Atie, Azza, Amy, Amylea and Saipul to "give her a five". They clap their hands against each other's. Simon joins in.

"Let's go, guys," says Farah.

Simon and his Idol friends make their way to a cliff.

"What next?" asks Simon.

"Use your imagination and save us," says Jien.

Simon draws a bridge.

He and the Idols cross it.

"I hope this bridge does not break," says worried Saipul.

"Please shut up, baby!" says Amylea.

"U baru baby, bukan I (U are the baby, not me)," replies Saipul.

Just then, long-haired Reza Mohamad appears.

"Masterji," says Farah.

"Ringgit Malaysia," says Reza.

Saipul and Amylea calm down instantly.

"Mesra!" says Bob Usop, as he appears on the bridge.

"Sudahlah, bro! (forget it)" says Rosma Sidik, who appears next to Bob.

The bridge begins to wobble. Planks start to fall from its floor.

A little white mouse appears and nibbles the ropes that bind the bridge together.

He subsequently turns into Anding Zaini, the "MPH Mouse".

Burn Thevandran emerges on the bridge, and tells Anding, "Let's save our friends. Let's bring the bridge down."

Vonzell Solomon appears next to Burn. She brushes his hair.

Burn clicks his hand phone and cuts the bridge's metallic cable structure.

Simon gets angry. "Are you crazy, Mr Rueben?! You want to get us killed!"

Reza says: "RM. We will be safe. Don't worry."

Simon calms down.

He thinks: "Oh, dear, Nemo. What shall I do?"

Nemo meows, and a long list of the Idols' profiles appears in his hand phone.

Aznil says: "Use it, Simon. Only you can help us escape from the crumbling world of chalk drawings."

Simon draws some strong waves beneath the bridge with his chalk.

The waves wash the bridge, and the humans are swept away.

Simon is knocked unconscious.

When he awakes, he finds himself under the sea. Fish are everywhere. Even some sharks.

A green pill appears in the water in front of Simon.

A squeaky voice tells him: "Uncle, please eat the green pill!"

Beautiful Nana Mahazan, who can breathe underwater like a mermaid, directs him to eat the pill.

She says: "All who cannot breathe under the sea can do so with the green pill. Hurry up, Mr Simon. We need your help."

Simon learns from Nemo's profiles of the Idols that Nana has a vivid imagination and everything good that she wishes, comes true.

The green pill is a figment of her wild imagination.

When Simon looks around him, he sees all the Idols swimming and floating in the water with ease.

They have all consumed the green pill.

Nana summons two big fish to her side.

One is a tuna fish, the other a shark.

They transform into Akma Abdullah and Idayu Yaakob, respectively.

"Follow us," says Nana. "Black oil is polluting the sea, and we must escape."

Akma says: "This way. We'll enter the sea of Ocha (green tea)."

Idayu says: "There, you'll not feel thirsty any more."

Simon says: "Bimbo nonsense!"

Akma turns into a piranha. Idayu turns into a shark.

They snap at Simon.

"Oh, sorry ladies!" he says.

Simon asks Nana: "How are we going there?"

Nana replies: "Use your imagination, Mr Simon. The future depends on you."

Simon draws a trap door on the sea bed.

He opens the door and they all jump down it.

"Don't worry, folks. We'll all be safe," he says.

"We know," says Amy.

Simon and friends land on the bed of the Ocha Sea.

They head towards a rocky cliff, and find Kaer Azami and Sufiah Mohamad Noor (Opie) sound asleep on different "steps".

Nana approaches Kaer and kisses his neck. Akma does the same.

Sufiah awakes. "Hey, guys! What brings you here?"

Nana replies: "The Man In Black, a k a Simon Cowell."

Sufiah says: "Our kid brother is so sound asleep. Do something, my dear Akma."

Akma tickles Kaer. "Hey, what's going on guys?" he says.

Akma tells Kaer: "Simon has come. He can save the world of chalk drawings from looming disaster."

Idayu says: "Yes, bro. Everything he draws comes true. Just like everything Kak Nana dreams of comes true."

Kaer tells Simon: "This is what you must do, in a nutshell. This chalk world is crumbling and you must use your resources to help us evacuate.

"We are all over the place, in various parts of the chalk world. There are 62 of us and you must gather all of us together."

Just then, Adam Mat Saman appears in the Ocha Sea. With him are adorable Rydee Rahim and Ekin Rahman.

"Yo, wassup, guys?" he says.

Rydee tells Simon. "We sense that this Ocha Sea, which we thought was the safest place in Chalk Land, is being polluted. A few minutes ago the 3 of us smelt some ink."

Ekin says: "Bau tu banyak kuat lah (It's a very strong smell)."

Adam suddenly suffers a headache and falls to the ground. Rydee and Ekin get hold of him.

"The smell is getting stronger and stronger. I'm feeling very sick, Kak," says Adam to Rydee.

Saipul also begins to feel sick, and falls to the ground. Nurul, Farah, Atie, Azza, Amy and Amylea get hold of him.

"You've really got a cat's sense of smell, sayang," says Amy. "But don't worry. We'll all be safe. I promise."

Saipul says: "Bau itu betul-betul macam racun (The sea is starting to smell like poison)."

Simon says: "Can any of you freeze the ink menace?"

Burn, Nurul, Amy and Amylea tell the Idols and Simon that they will try their best to freeze the looming spread of ink in the Ocha Sea.

Simon says: "I doubt this will last. Why can't we move on, to a new scene?"

Kaer says: "This is perhaps the safest place in Chalk Land. We may not be so safe in the next scene.

Nana says: "Sayang, I think Simon is right. We must move on."

She hands Kaer an empty Coke bottle and he fills it with Ocha.

Simon draws a trap door, and they all jump into it.

Simon sketches a marshmallow flavoured ground below their feet.

Thus, the Idols have a soft landing.

As soon as he lands on his feet, he busies himself sketching giant houses, trees, chairs, tables, lamps and beds made of chocolate, marshmallow, cotton candy and candy.

"This is really yummy," says excited Bob.

Simon says: "Phew! I'm glad I've been of help to you guys. Is everybody OK?"

Farah, with a sad face, approaches Simon. She says: "I'm sorry to say that Saipul is not well. Neither is Adam and Kaer. You've got to help us."

Saipul is terribly sick with an acute pain enveloping his entire body. When he jumped into the door earlier, he was supported by Nurul and Amy.

Nurul, Farah, Atie, Azza, Amy and Amylea cuddle the ailing Saipul in a corner of the candy world to ease his pain. Amy has her hand firmly pinching his nose.

"He's a bleeder. It's really bad," says Amy. Her eyes are a little wet.

In another corner, Adam encounters the same symptoms as Saipul. He is cuddled by Rydee and Ekin. Rydee has her hand firmly pinching Adam's nose.

"Please do something, Mr Simon," says wet-eyed Rydee.

Kaer is as sick as Adam and Saipul. He is frail and weak in the embrace of Nana, Akma, Sufiah and Idayu. Nana and Akma had been supporting him as he jumped down the door earlier. Akma has her hand pinching his nose.

"Tolong, Mr Simon. You must help us heal Adik Kaer," says Nana, who is as wet-eyed as Akma.

Akma says: "I think the pollution in the Ocha Sea has hurt him really bad. Please, please do something."

Simon looks at the list Nemo SMS-ed to his hand phone. He starts sketching three cats with his magical chalk.

In a flash, the Mint Puss, Choc Puss and Vanilla Puss appear. They release soft, heart-warming meows.

The trio transform into Mawi Ani, Fuad Azri and Kefli Idir respectively.

Simon draws two teddy bears, one meant to be green, the other orange.

They transform into Dina Nadzir and Zahid Baharuddin respectively.

Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Justin Guarini and Bo Bice appear shortly, behind Mawi, Fuad, Kefli, Dina and Zahid. Elliza Razak follows.

They belong to the same circle, namely Ruben's and Clay's circle.

Idols in similar circles share similar powers, and they can communicate with each other if they are lost.

Burn has been trying a while to contact members of his circle. They finally appear in the candy land.

They are Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Fantasia Barrino, Jaclyn Victor, Vince Chong, Linda Nanuwil, Marsha Londoh, Mas Ghani, Felix Agus and Yazer Yusof.

They are accompanied by Burn's manager and elder sister Sharmila.

Adam has also been trying to contact members of his circle, unsuccessfully.

He switches on the pink light in his hand phone, as a last resort.

In a flash, Nikki Palikat, Diana DeGarmo, Khai, Jasmine Trias, and a Kijang deer turn up in the candy land.

Kaer, still in pain, ticks off the deer. He says: "Nik, this is no time for horseplay."

"Oh, sorry," says Nik Aidil. He turns back into his human form.

Kaer's acute body pain worsens. "Owww!" he says. Akma and Nana place their cheeks on his body, to comfort him.

Mawi, Fuad and Kefli tell Simon and friends that they can take away their hunger pangs by releasing mint, chocolate and vanilla flavoured gas, respectively, when they transform into computer-graphic cats.

"Trust the Mint, Choc and Vanilla Pussies," says Fuad.

"With us, you don't need to visit any cafe," says Mawi.

"Or bistro," says Kefli.

The trio turn into the Mint, Choc and Vanilla Pussies. They release gas from their fur, and "feed" the Idols and Simon.

Mawi the Human Aircon also releases cool, fresh air.

Adam, Kaer and Saipul gradually recover from their illnesses.

"Hi, Adam. Hi, Kaer," says Diana, flashing a radiant smile. "You guys are so handsome today."

Nikki tells Diana: "Oh, please, you Chubby Wubby. Not Adam."

Adam tells Nikki: "Stop disturbing her, Pinky Girl. She's my ideal beauty from Georgia."

Rydee and Ekin calm Adam down.

Atie touches Saipul's cheeks. "I adore you, my ever-so-handsome and ever-so-cute adik," she tells the cute Sarawakian.

Saipul tells Atie: "Kak, you will always be the most beautiful lady in the world. I could re-write Layla and re-word it specially for you."

Amylea says: "Eleeeh! Apa gila-gila romantik ni? (You do sound like a pseudo-romantic, my dear Saipul. Don't you?)"

Farah says: "Cool it, Amylea. He needs some rest. He's too weak."

Amy and Nurul cuddle Saipul and rub their cheeks on his body.

Bo and Yazer tell the Idols: "Guys, we sense the presence of some wildlife."

Sure enough, Simon sketches a tiger. It comes to life and transforms into Victor Lee.

Reza greets Victor by transforming into a tiger, and roaring with the hair-stylist from Penang.

Simon draws two lions. They come to life and transform into Azizi Mohamad and Vick Teo.

Azizi and Vick are followed by Nicole McKibbin, Kimberley Locke, Fitri Zainal Abidin, Adi Fashla Juraimi, Sahri Sarip, Zamil Idris, Fazly Zainal and Fahmy Zakaria.

"Hi there, LJ!" says Fuad to Adi Fashla (LJ stands for Lime Juice. Adi Fashla is an advertiser for a popular brand of lime juice on Malaysian television).

Simon then draws some fireflies.

Yazer tells Felix: "They are harmless insects. So please do not turn on the Felixonator."

(Felix is nicknamed the Felixonator because he can produce a force field that fends off insects that destroy crops and terrorise humans and animals).

Felix says: "Don't worry. As far as I remember, you have not been at Kak Mas' food stall. Thus, I'm powerless."

Nana says: "Oh, yes you are, my dear Felix. One Mas food stall coming right up."

Nana clicks on her hand phone and produces Mas' food stall. Yazer walks towards the stall and touches it.

Yazer says to Felix: "All yours now, bro."

Four of the fireflies turn into Edlin Rahim, Zarina Zainoordin, Liza Ismail and Nija Tahar.

Edlin says: "Hi, guys. Ronan's coming real soon."

In a flash, Andrew Tan, a k a The Lord Of The Fireflies, appears.

He asks Edlin: "Kak, what is going on here?"

Edlin pats his hand, and says: "Don't worry, sayang. You'll soon find out. There's nothing to be alarmed about."

Zarina says: "We are getting out of here, with help from Mr Simon."

Liza says: "Yes, THE Mr Simon who appears in American Idol."

Nija says to Simon: "Hiiiiiiii!"

Simon feels an electric shock.

"You scare me, Nija," he says.

"Oooh, sorry!" she says.

Some ants appear in the candy land. They are the size of lions.

Felix says: "Stand back, guys. This'll be a blast."

He releases his force field, and it repels the insects.

Nicole and Kimberley commend Felix.

"Our dear friends, Belinda Carlisle, Charlotte Caffey, Gina Schock, Jane Wiedlin and Kathy Valentine, the Go-Gos, will be proud of you, Felix," says Kimberley.

Vick says: "Guys, I can turn some of this candy into ice candy. Wanna try?"

Azizi says: "Let's show them, guys."

Azizi, Vick, Reza, Victor, Fitri, Anding, Zamil, Fahmy, Fazly, Adi Fashla, Sahri, Nicole and Kimberley zap some of the candy objects and turn them into ice candy.

Nemo proceeds to lick some of the ice candies. Bob does likewise, and so does Elliza.

"Amboi, comelnya adikku Elliza (Elliza, you are so cute)," says Zahid.

"Abang pun comel jugak (Zahid, you are cute, too)," says Elliza.

Carrie tells Simon and the Idols: "Let's add some colour to Chalk Land."

She clicks her hand phone and brings colour to everyone, and to every item in Chalk Land.

Vince says: "Carrie, I don't remember having a shirt like this. It was originally red, not brown."

Carrie says: "No problem, Vincey baby!" She turns Vince's shirt from brown to red.

Suddenly, some strange aliens arrive in the candy land. They look like gigantic spiders and scorpions.

Vince immediately identifies them as computer viruses.

He says: "Kelly, Linda and Marsha. Be on stand-by. I'll deal with these monsters first."

Burn says: "I'm with you, Vince. I'll freeze them motionless. Vonzell, get your firewalls ready."

Bo smashes a giant candy stick with his hand phone. It hits the head of one virus and stuns it.

Nik Aidil bravely jumps into the path of another virus. It tries to crush him, but he jumps away in a flash. The virus trips and falls.

"It's clobbering time," says Vince.

He zaps the viruses mercilessly. Linda, Marsha and Kelly prepare themselves to do the same.

While the viruses disintegrate, their limbs do not. They fly towards Vince like spears. One limb spears Vince's left leg. Another hits him in the abdomen.

"Kor!" scream Linda and Marsha.

Concerned Jaclyn gets hold of Vince and tries to pull the limbs out of him. Fantasia gives her a hand.

They are unable to dislodge the limbs. Vince winces in pain. He becomes weak.

Kelly says: "Linda, Marsha. I need your help. Let's pull the limbs out of Vince. Only the three of us can tackle viruses."

Kelly, Linda and Marsha get hold of Vince and pull the limbs out of his abdomen and leg. They succeed.

Vince, still in pain, gets cuddled by Kelly and Linda. "Kor, please get better," says a worried Marsha.

Jaclyn and Fantasia place their hands on Vince's hair. "It's OK, Vincey baby. You'll be fine. We love you."

Marsha clicks her hand phone and produces the gigantic blue and red centipedes.

She tells Vince: "Let the blue centipede bite your leg, Vince. It will heal you. The red one will deal with the other viruses."

Linda and Kelly calm Vince, who is shocked by the presence of the centipedes. They tell him to trust Marsha.

Carrie holds Vince's hands. She says: "It's OK, Vincey."

The blue centipede bites Vince's leg. It injects medicine into Vince, and it heals Vince of the virus' poison.

"Thanks, Marsha," says Vince. "Sorry I doubted you."

Vonzell creates a firewall. The advancing viruses hit it and get electrocuted. They disintegrate. So do their limbs.

The limbs which were dislodged from Vince's abdomen and leg also disintegrate.

"Well done, Vonzell," says Burn.

"U R great, girl," says Sharmila.

"Makasih (thanks) kak," says Mas.

Vonzell gives Burn a hug. "Thanks, bro. U R simply the best," she says, kissing his forehead.

Nik Aidil, who transformed into a deer and hopped away from the Idols and Simon, is suddenly sent flying back to them.

He lands on top of a giant marshmallow, which cushions him.

"What's going on, Cabin Man?" asks Kaer.

"Please stop poking fun at our brother, sayang," says Idayu to Kaer.

"A twister is coming," says Nik Aidil. "We've gotta run."

Simon tells Zahid to lead them through the storm to safety.

He says: "Zahid, since you are the only one who can ride a storm, you should lead us. Nemo, protect us with your force fields."

Elliza says: "Hey, I can ride a storm, too." Zahid agrees with her, and corrects Simon.

Zahid says: "OK, guys. Look at this extra-long candy stick. I'm gonna hold one end of it, and Elliza will hold the other end. All of you get into your respective circles."

The Idols group together in their respective circles. Simon joins the hosts Aznil and Jien in their circle. Nemo joins Khai in his circle.

Zahid holds one end of the candy stick and Elliza holds the other end. Elliza says: "Guys, please relax. We'll be taking off any time now."

Nemo produces force fields to cover every circle. Elliza sticks her end of the candy stick on one of the force fields. The other force fields stick to the first force field.

Zahid says: "Elliza, it's time for us to surf the storm. Hang on, guys. This is gonna be fun."

Elliza says: "Right on, bro."

Zahid and Elliza float to the sky, as if surfing on air. Simon and the other Idols follow them in their force fields.

The large candy stick helps Zahid and Elliza navigate straight through the twister.

The twister sweeps away everything in the candy land. Bits and pieces of candy spin around the mighty twister.

The Idols and Simon end up in an alpine region, right in the middle of a large, blue lake.

Vince says: "This lake was once in my dream. I dreamt that I was swimming in it. A minty ice ball floated down from the snow-capped mountains and landed in my hands. I had a great feast.

"But as soon as I finished my meal, I was teleported out of the lake and ended up back in my bathroom. Blame it on Linda."

Linda says: "Kor, I needed your help. We had to destroy some computer virus in Zainal Alam Kadir's computer."

Simon says: "Look who's here! Henry, is that you?"

Enrique Iglesias appears, from the bottom of the lake.

He says: "Hi, guys. I decided to come because Simon did not respond to my telephone calls earlier. I was planning to visit him later that day but he went missing.

"The logical conclusion I had was, he entered the Chalk Land."

Enrique tells Simon and the Idols that he has the power to enter the Chalk Land.

"Not long ago, Nemo visited my house and he licked my hand.

"A few minutes later, I found a piece of chalk and I touched it. Before I knew it, I entered the world of chalk drawings.

"Every scene I imagined came true in the Chalk Land," he says.

Jaclyn tells Enrique: "We need your help, Enrique. We must return to the real world, to be reunited with our families."

Enrique says: "No problem. But first, there is some cleaning up we have to do."

Enrique, Simon and the Idols are teleported by Nemo to the shore of the lake.

Enrique says: "Idols, please name the hosts and judges of your shows. Those from Akademi Fantasia, please name your principals, too."

Those from AF1 name their principal, Freddie Fernandez. Those from AF2 name theirs, Ramli M S. Those from AF3 name theirs, M Nasir.

The AF finalists mention the name of their host, Aznil. "That's me," he says.

They also mention the name of their chief contest judge Kudsia Kahar, who is Nana's boss.

The MI finalists mention the names of their judges Roslan Aziz, Paul Moss and Fauziah Latiff, and their hosts Sharifah Aleya, Soo Kui Jien and Cheryl Samad.

"Why must you link my name with Paul Moss?" asks Jien.

Farah lets out a "Breeep!" from her hand phone.

The AI finalists mention the names of their judges Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell, and their host Ryan Seacrest.

Enrique says: "That was good, guys. Now, name two butt-kicking beauties who are my good friends. One of them starred in the video for my hit song, Hero."

Diana names "I Know What You Did Last Summer" stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

"Thanks," says Enrique. At that moment, Gellar and Hewitt contact him on his hand phone.

"Hi, Henry," says Gellar. "Hi, guys. U all right?"

"Yes, we are," says a smiling Diana.

"Please tell Enrique to shut up," says Hewitt.

"Oh, OK," says Diana.

"Henry, Jen wants you to shut up," she tells Enrique.

Enrique says: "Don't worry. We understand each other."

Enrique tells Nemo to take Simon, the Idols and himself to every scene they went to in Chalk Land.

They find that all the scenes have been restored. Gone are the crumbling bridge, the twister-damaged candy land and the poisoned Ocha Sea.

"Does this mean we can visit the Chalk Land any time we want?" asks Zahid.

Enrique says: "Only if you seek my help first."

Enrique tells the Idols and Simon that they must now utter the names of Guy Sebastian, Will Young, Gareth Gates, Taufik Batisah and Joy Tobing.

"Where did you learn all this?" asks Khai.

Enrique replies: "The power I received from Nemo comes with a manual in my hand phone."

He directs Zahid to throw his candy stick into the centre of the lake.

Zahid does so, and a whirlpool appears.

"Let's go inside. The real world is at the bottom of the whirl pool."

Rosma says: "Enrique, you remind me of someone I met last year."

In a flash, Jalaluddin Hassan appears and says: "Trust me." He disappears.

Simon, Enrique and the Idols are teleported above the whirl pool. They jump into it, one by one.

Simon, Enrique and friends end up in a studio in London. It is the very place where the British Pop Idol concerts take place.

Enrique tells them: "If I had not gone here before going into Chalk Land, you guys would have ended up in Simon's bed room."

Kelly asks Enrique and Simon: "How did you guys find the chalk?"

They reply: "We don't know. Nemo found the chalk, really."

Khai asks Nemo: "Where did you find the chalk?"

An SMS appears in Khai's hand phone. It reads: "Got it from a museum in London."

Clay, Ruben, Justin and Bo tell the Idols: "Guys, we'll check out the museum. We believe that the chalk is a magical treasure that harks back to the days of Empire."

Nemo teleports them to the museum. There, they discover that the chalk belongs to two British colonial officials in 19th Century Malaysia who donated it to the museum.

Their names - Sir Frank Swettenham and Sir Hugh Low.

Vince says: "They were prominent leaders of our country during colonial times."

Linda adds: "Yes, Mr Low even scaled Mount Kinabalu, near my hometown, Ranau."

Ekin says: "Mr Low's grand children even lived in Labuan, my hometown. One of his grand children became chief minister of Brunei. He was Sheikh Azhari Mahmud."

Jaclyn says: "Guys, let's speak to a few Malaysian entertainers. They will tell us more about Swettenham and Low."

The Idols teleport to the studio, Guy (who is from Malaysia but lives Down Under), KRU, Erra Fazira, Ning Baizura, Saiful Azam Yusoff (Apek), Ziana Zain, Anuar Zain, Ellina Razak (Elliza's elder sister), Fasha Sandha, Nor Fazura, Ismail Din, Fauziah Ahmad Daud, Salleh Yaakob, Dia Fadila, Syura, M Nasir, Roslan Aziz, Fauziah Latiff, Camelia, Dayang Nurfaizah and Anita Sarawak.

Nasir tells them: "There is one more person you forgot. She is right here."

He clicks his hand phone and brings forth Nur Amalina Che Bakri, a brilliant Malaysian student who scored 17As in her Form Five government examination this year.

"Hi, guys. Great to meet you, Khai, Farah and Kaer," she says.

"It's an honour to meet you, too, saudari," says Khai.

"You have done Johor and the nation proud," says Dina.

After a brief meeting with the artistes and Nur Amalina, Simon, Enrique and the Idols decide to head off to Edlin Rahim's bedroom cum meeting room in Kuala Lumpur.

Edlin asks Khai: "Was it you who brought us into Chalk Land?"

Khai replies: "Yes indeed. Nemo gave me the chalk one morning and as soon as I touched it, I was sucked into Chalk Land. I asked him to beam you guys in with me."

Jasmine commends Khai, and pats his back. "Dai, you did the right thing. We stick together as brothers and sisters," she says.

As soon as they arrive in Edlin's house, Farah clicks her hand phone and beams over three AF3 hopefuls who did not make it - Shiha Zikir, Diana Tajul Ariffin and Hazrina Illias.

Farah tells them about the magical chalk and they in turn tell her that they have in their houses pieces of stone which gave them strange dreams.

Shiha, who first gives Saipul a hug, says: "I found the stone behind my house in Selayang a few days ago. Since then it has caused me to have strange dreams.

"I dream that I enter a world of chalk drawings, and meet up with AF1, AF2, AF3, MI and AI finalists," she says.

Diana says that she encountered similar dreams after finding a stone behind her house in Kuala Lumpur.

Edlin and Zarina ask Hazrina if she was spared of the dreams after finding a stone behind her house in Sitiawan, Perak.

"I had a similar dream to Diana and Shiha. Very strange," she says.

Edlin says: "Folks, it appears that the magical chalk comes from stones in the state of Selangor where most of us live.

"I have a strong feeling that the two British agents of the 19th Century took the stones from here and had them processed into chalk back in Britain.

"They were probably fully aware that the stones had magical qualities."

Khai tells Edlin that Nemo located similar stones deep in the forest in the district of Kota Tinggi in Johor.

Farah decides to beam Indonesian Akademi Fantasia finalist Veri Afandi of Medan in Sumatra over to Edlin's house.

Veri arrives shortly and tells them that he found a stone in the city of Palembang in southern Sumatra, and it gave him a similar dream as that of Shiha, Diana and Hazrina.

Kaer tells the Idols that he has a theory for all this.

He says: "The ancient Malay Empire was located in Selangor, where Kuala Lumpur is, as well as in Johor and Palembang.

"The stones used to build the Malay emperors' castles contained magical properties, only realised by their descendants and their subjects' descendants in the 21st Century."

Akma says: "That makes a lot of sense. I think we should contact Zainal Ariffin Ismail of TV3's documentary Misteri Nusantara, which talks about the mysteries of the Malay Continent."

Zahid contacts Zainal, and the documentary producer and presenter says: "Yes, I know that Selangor, Johor and Palembang were the centres of the ancient Malay Empire. And their castles were made of stones which are believed to contain magical properties."

Zahid, Elliza, Khai and Dina ask Nemo to teleport them to the site of the ancient Malay emperors' castle in Kota Tinggi, Johor.

As soon as they arrive at the site, which is deep in the forest, at the source of the Johor River, Khai and Dina touch a stone. It gives them visions of Chalk Land.

They return to Edlin's house and tell their friends about their encounter.

Edlin says: "Let's all have a rest. This is all so strange. Perhaps, we'll talk about it some other day."

Zarina says: "Yes, I really feel tired."

A few days later, Azizi and Vick dine with their Akademi Fantasia Indonesia friend Cindy Carolina in Jakarta. They tell her that they have just made an amazing discovery.

Azizi says: "It is a piece of chalk that unites both our countries."

Cindy says that she has at home a magical stone that takes her into Chalk Land. She found it in Palembang.

A few doors away, Khai, Zahid, Elliza and Dina dine with their Akademi Fantasia Indonesia friend Theodora Setyawati (Tia). She tells them a similar story as that of Cindy.

Khai says: "We have a friend from Johor, Azlif Abdullah, an AF3 hopeful, who has a similar story. He found his stone near the City Hall of Kuala Lumpur."

Tia says: "AFI finalist Sutha Wijaya of Bali found a similar stone in Denpasar."

Zahid receives a hand phone call from Akademi Fantasia Thailand finalist Tanyanan Mahapiroon. She says: "Hi, guys. I hear from Nemo that you have been entering works of art."

Zahid replies: "We have, Jeen. And we have discovered something which may change the face of ASEAN forever. I'll tell you about it later. Send our regards to Pacharapon Jantieng and Pongsak Rattanaphong."

In a cafe in Kuching, Sarawak, Saipul, Nurul, Farah, Atie, Azza, Amy and Amylea dine with AF3 hopeful Isa Kumar Jali Sulaiman.

Isa says: "Here's something I found behind my house. It has given me strange dreams, of going into a magical land of chalk drawings.

"I even met Simon Cowell and you guys."

In a cafe in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Ekin, Adam and Rydee dine with AF3 hopeful Haider Arif. He tells them a similar story to Isa's.

Nikki appears before them and says: "This ain't an X-Files movie. If you want to know more, you can e-mail Simon Cowell and Enrique Iglesias at these addresses."

In a cafe in Muar, Johor, Zainal Alam Kadir, Nana, Kaer, Sufiah, Akma, Idayu and Nik Aidil dine with Johor Chief Minister Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman (a relative of Zainal).

Ghani tells them that he found a piece of stone at the back of his house in Johor Baru earlier in the day, when Nemo paid him a visit.

"I found this strange cat in my garden. He had a piece of stone on his fur. I picked up the stone and kept it on my shelf, and fed the hungry cat," he says.

"The cat later vanished without a trace."

Nana tells Datuk Ghani: "Datuk, brace yourself for the adventure of your lifetime, when you go to bed tonight."

At his home in London, Simon Cowell is sound asleep. On his desk, he has a piece of chalk kept in a stylish pencil case.

Novel 11 - Simon Cowell Di Alam Lukisan Kapur

Selamat Tahun Baru semua. Kekawan Idola muncul kembali dalam sebuah lagi cerita yang menarik, bersama kucing Persian sakti, Nemo.

Novel ini diilhamkan oleh kartun terbitan Film Fair London Productions tahun 1974 berjudul Simon In The Land Of Chalk Drawings.

Kartun itu mengisahkan seorang budak bernama Simon yang mempunyai kapur sakti. Apa-apa yang dilukisnya akan hidup, kerana Simon boleh memasuki alam lukisan kapur di sebalik papan lukisannya.

Ribuan terima kasih kepada semua orang, yang hidup ataupun mati, yang menjayakan kartun British tersebut. God bless them all.

Selamat membaca.

Simon Cowell, si hakim bermulut laser American Idol, sedang berehat di bilik tidurnya setelah minum.

Dia baru sahaja melayari internet di komputernya, dan baru menerima beberapa e-mel dari kawannya dari dunia hiburan.

Enrique Iglesias dari Sepanyol telah memberitahu Simon bahawa dia sudah jadi "nice guy" dalam American Idol Musim 4.

U2, Denzel Washington, Elton John, Robbie Williams, Will Young dan Gareth Gates sependapat dengan Enrique.

"Thanks guys," kata Simon kepada kawannya dalam jawapan standardnya.

Nemo muncul di bilik Simon. Bersamanya ialah sebatang kapur putih.

"Hey! I remember this piece of chalk. I found it behind my house when I was a kid. I used to imagine that everything I drew could come true," kata Simon.

Simon melukis sebuah pintu di atas papan lukisannya. Dengan serta-merta, dia menjadi debu dan diserap ke dalam pintu yang dilukisnya. Nemo pun diserap ke dalam pintu itu.

Di sebalik pintu, Simon bertemu seekor anak kucing putih.

"Hey, pussycat! Could you move aside, please. I don't want to hurt you."

"Meow!" kata anak kucing itu.

Simon mengangkat dan membelai anak kucing itu.

"Nemo, is he your relative?" tanya Simon.

Nemo mengiau dan mesej SMS muncul dalam HP Simon.

Mesej itu berkata: "His name is Cutey. Be nice to him."

Cutey mengiau dengan kuatnya. Simon berkata: "Please calm down, puss. You'll lose your voice."

Seekor foks kecil muncul di belakang Simon dan berkata "Grrr!"

SMS Simon berkata: "Say hello to Fifi. She takes care of Cutey."

Simon berkata: "Oh, hi, Fifi. Sorry I'm playing with your kid brother. I mean him no harm."

Seekor helang dan seekor burung enggang muncul di depan Simon, Cutey dan Fifi. Dua ekor foks juga muncul, dari breed yang sama dengan Fifi.

HP Simon dengan kuatnya berbunyi "Breeep!"

Si jelita dan comel Farah Anuar muncul, dengan berpakaian denim dan senyuman yang menawan.

"Hello, gorgeous!" kata Simon kepada Farah.

"Oh, hi, Mr Simon. I'm so lucky to see you today." kata Farah dengan gembira.

"Don't be nasty to my friends, OK!"

Farah menyuruh Nemo menukar binatang itu kembali menjadi manusia.

Dengan serta-merta, Cutey menjadi Saipul Bakeri, Fifi menjadi Nurul Hamid, enggang menjadi Amy Azlan, helang menjadi Amylea Azizan, dan dua ekor foks lagi menjadi Atie Abu Bakar dan Azza Suaymi.

Simon menggigit bibirnya. "I thought I was dreaming but it's real," katanya.

"How do I get out of here, Farah?"

Si kacak Soo Kui Jien muncul. Dia adalah hos yang amat diminati Farah, dan juga hos bersama Malaysian Idol.

Dia diikuti oleh hos Akademi Fantasia, Aznil Nawawi.

Aznil berkata kepada Simon: "Kami perlukan bantuanmu. Dunia Lukisan Kapur sedang hancur. Saudara mesti selamatkan kami."

Jien berkata: "Use your imagination, Simon. You can do it. We trust you."

Saipul berkata: "Simon, saya amat bertuah berjumpamu. Tolong jangan marah kami, OK."

Amylea menegur Saipul. "Esh! Cuba diam sikit, yang."

Saipul berasa marah dan berkata: "Amylea muda dari Saipul. U tak boleh order Saipul."

Nurul memukul tangan Saipul dengan lembutnya. Katanya: "Yang, tolong jangan marah. Amylea ni sayang sama Saipul. Kami ni wanita memang cepat matang."

Farah, Atie, Azza dan Amy bersetuju dengan Nurul. Mereka menyuruh Saipul bersabar.

Simon berkata: "Saipul, I would have felt hurt if I were in your shoes, at your age. But however nasty I am, I still believe that off-stage we should be like gentlemen."

Saipul meminta maaf dari Amylea. Amylea memeluk Saipul. Saipul juga dipeluk oleh Nurul, Farah, Atie, Azza dan Amy.

Simon berkata: "Can I, Saipul?"

Nurul memandang muka Simon, dan sambil tersenyum, berkata: "Tolong jangan kacau adik kamek, ya."

Farah mengarahkan Nurul, Atie, Azza, Amy, Amylea dan Saipul menepuk tangan dengannya.

"Give me a five, guys," katanya. Simon pun menepuk tangan bersama Farah.

"Let's go, guys," kata Farah.

Simon dan kawan Idolanya menuju ke tepi sebuah gaung.

"What next?" tanya Simon.

"Use your imagination and save us," kata Jien.

Simon melukis sebuah jambatan. Mereka semua menyeberanginya.

"Harap jambatan ni tak runtuh," kata Saipul.

"Tolong diam sikit, baby!" kata Amylea.

"U baru baby, bukan I," kata Saipul.

Reza Mohamad muncul.

"Masterji," kata Farah.

"Ringgit Malaysia," kata Reza.

Saipul dan Amylea terus bertenang dan diam.

"Mesra!" kata Bob Usop, yang muncul di atas jambatan.

"Sudahlah, bro!" kata Rosma Sidik, yang muncul bersama Bob.

Jambatan mulai bergoyang dan papan pejalan kaki mulai jatuh darinya.

Seekor tikus putih muncul dan menggigit tali yang mengikat jambatan itu.

Tikus itu menjadi Anding Zaini, "Rakan MPH".

Burn Thevandran muncul dan memberitahu Anding, "Let's save our friends. Let's bring the bridge down."

Vonzell Solomon muncul bersama Burn, dan memberus rambut Burn.

Burn menekan HPnya dan memotong rangka besi jambatan itu.

Simon marah. "Are you crazy, Mr Rueben?! You want to get us killed!"

Reza berkata: "RM. We will be safe. Don't worry."

Simon terus bertenang. Katanya: "Oh, dear, Nemo. What shall I do?"

Nemo mengiau, dan satu senarai profail Kekawan Idola muncul dalam SMS HP Simon.

Aznil berkata: "Use it, Simon. Hanya saudara boleh bantu kita selamatkan diri."

Simon melukis ombak besar di bawah jambatan.

Ombak itu memukul jambatan dan menenggelamkan mereka semua.

Simon pengsan dipukul ombak.

Setelah Simon sedar diri, dia berada di dasar lautan. Ikan berenang di sekelilingnya, termasuk ikan yu.

Sebiji pil hijau muncul di depan Simon.

Suara serak basah berkata: "Uncle, please eat the green pill!"

Si jelita dan comel Nana Mahazan, yang boleh bernafas di bawah laut macam mermaid (puteri ikan), mengarahkan Simon makan pil itu.

Katanya: "Saudara boleh bernafas di bawah laut dengan pil ini. Hurry up, Mr Simon. We need your help."

SMS Nemo yang dibaca Simon menerangkan bahawa Nana mempunyai imaginasi yang kuat, dan segala benda yang positif dalam ingatannya akan menjadi nyata.

Pil hijau itu adalah sebahagian imaginasi Nana.

Simon mendapati bahawa kawannya sedang berenang di dalam lautan dengan mudahnya.

Mereka semua telah memakan pil hijau.

Nana mengarahkan dua ekor ikan berenang ke tepinya.

Ikan itu adalah ikan tuna dan ikan yu.

Ikan tuna itu menjadi Akma Abdullah dan ikan yu itu menjadi Idayu Yaakob.

"Follow us," kata Nana. "Minyak hitam sudah mencemari lautan ini. Kita mesti berpindah cepat."

Akma berkata: "This way. Kita akan masuki Lautan Ocha."

Idayu berkata: "Saudara takkan berasa dahaga di sana."

Simon berkata: "Bimbo nonsense!"

Akma menjadi ikan piranha. Idayu menjadi ikan yu.

Mereka cuba menggigit Simon.

"Oh, sorry ladies!" katanya.

Simon bertanya kepada Nana: "How are we going there?"

Nana berkata: "Use your imagination, Mr Simon. Semuanya di tangan saudara."

Simon melukis pintu lantai, pada dasar lautan. Dia membuka pintu itu, dan mereka semua memasukinya.

"Don't worry, folks. We'll all be safe," katanya.

"We know," kata Amy.

Simon dan kawannya mendarat di dasar Lautan Ocha.

Mereka pergi ke sebuah bukit batu. Kaer Azami dan Sufiah Mohamad Noor (Opie) sedang tidur di atas "tangga" bukit yang berlainan.

Nana mendekati Kaer dan mencium lehernya. Akma juga mencium leher Kaer.

Sufiah terjaga. "Hey, guys! What brings you here?"

Nana berkata: "The Man In Black, a k a Simon Cowell."

Sufiah berkata: "Adik kami ni tidur lena. Do something, my dear Akma."

Akma mencubit (tickle) Kaer. "Hey, what's going on guys?" kata Kaer.

Akma memberitahu Kaer: "Simon dah datang untuk selamatkan kami semua."

Idayu berkata: "Yes, bro. Semua yang dilukisnya boleh menjadi realiti, semacam semua yang dimimpikan oleh Kak Nana boleh menjadi realiti."

Kaer memberitahu Simon: "Dunia Lukisan Kapur Sedang Hancur. Simon mesti kumpulkan kesemua 62 member Kekawan Idola dan bantu kami selamatkan diri dari bahaya."

Adam Mat Saman muncul bersama si comel dan jelita Rydee Rahim dan Ekin Rahman.

"Yo, wassup, guys?" kata Adam.

Rydee berkata kepada Simon. "Kami bertiga terhidu dakwat pena. Lautan Ocha yang disangka tempat paling selamat ni dah diancam bahaya."

Ekin berkata: "Bau tu banyak kuat lah."

Adam tiba-tiba sakit kepala dan jatuh ke lantai. Rydee dan Ekin menangkapnya.

"Bau tu makin kuat. Aku rasa sakit, Kak," kata Adam kepada Rydee.

Saipul pun berasa sakit, dan jatuh ke lantai. Dia ditangkap oleh Nurul, Farah, Atie, Azza, Amy dan Amylea.

"Sayang, U punya hidung ni macam hidung kucing lah," kata Amy. "But don't worry. Kak janji kita akan selamat."

Saipul berkata: "Bau itu betul-betul macam racun."

Simon berkata: "Can any of you freeze the ink menace?"

Burn, Nurul, Amy dan Amylea berkata mereka boleh cuba membekukan dakwat itu dan menghalangnya dari merebak.

Simon berkata: "I doubt this will last. Why can't we move on, to a new scene?"

Kaer berkata: "Tempat ini paling selamat. Tempat lain mungkin kurang selamat."

Nana berkata: "Sayang, Mr Simon ni cakap betul. We must move on."

Nana memberikan Kaer botol Coke yang kosong. Kaer mengisi botol itu dengan Ocha.

Simon melukis pintu di dasar lautan. Mereka semua terjun ke dalamnya.

Nurul dan Amy memegang Saipul yang sakit. Nana dan Akma pula memegang Kaer. Rydee dan Ekin memegang Adam.

Simon melukis sebuah lantai berperisa gula-gula marshmallow di dasar pintu itu.

Simon dan kawan-kawannya pun mendarat dengan selamat.

Simon melukis rumah, pokok, kerusi, meja, lampu dan katil yang diperbuat dari gula-gula dan coklat.

"Sedapnya," kata Bob.

Simon berkata: "Phew! I'm glad I've been of help to you guys. Is everybody OK?"

Farah, dengan sedihnya, menghampiri Simon, dan berkata: "Maaf, Simon. Saipul sakit. Begitu juga Adam dan Kaer. Tolong bantu mereka, Mr Simon."

Badan Saipul berasa amat sakit. Nurul, Farah, Atie, Azza, Amy dan Amylea memeluk Saipul untuk melegakan kesakitannya. Amy memicit hidung Saipul.

"Banyak darah keluar dari hidungnya," kata Amy. Matanya basah dan merah.

Adam dipeluk oleh Rydee dan Ekin. Rydee memicit hidung Adam.

"Please do something, Mr Simon," kata Rydee, dengan matanya yang merah dan basah.

Kaer dipeluk oleh Nana, Akma, Sufiah dan Idayu. Akma memicit hidung Kaer.

"Tolong, Mr Simon. Tolonglah sembuhkan Adik Kaer," kata Nana, dengan matanya yang basah dan merah.

Akma, yang menitiskan air mata, berkata: "Pencemaran di Lautan Ocha telah buatnya sakit teruk. Please, please do something."

Simon melihat SMS Nemo dan mulai melukis tiga ekor kucing dengan kapur saktinya.

Kucing Pudina, Kucing Coklat dan Kucing Vanilla muncul. Tiga ekor kucing itu mengiau dengan lembutnya.

Kucing Pudina menjadi Mawi Ani. Kucing Coklat menjadi Fuad Azri. Kucing Vanilla pula menjadi Kefli Idir.

Simon melukis dua ekor beruang mainan (teddy bear). Dia berkata bahawa seekor berwarna oren dan seekor lagi berwarna hijau.

Beruang oren menjadi Zahid Baharuddin dan beruang hijau menjadi Dina Nadzir.

Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Justin Guarini dan Bo Bice muncul di belakang Dina, Zahid, Mawi, Fuad dan Kefli. Elliza Razak juga muncul.

Mereka adalah dari bulatan (kumpulan) yang sama, iaitu bulatan Ruben dan Clay. Idola dari bulatan yang sama dapat menghubungi satu sama lain dengan HP jikalau terpisah.

Burn cuba menghubungi member bulatannya.

Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Fantasia Barrino, Jaclyn Victor, Vince Chong, Linda Nanuwil, Marsha Londoh, Mas Ghani, Felix Agus dan Yazer Yusof pun muncul.

Mereka diikuti oleh kakak dan manager Burn, Sharmila.

Adam cuba menghubungi member bulatannya. Dia memasang lampu warna merah jambu dalam HPnya.

Nikki Palikat, Diana DeGarmo, Khai, Jasmine Trias, dan seekor kijang muncul.

Kaer, yang masih sakit, menegur kijang itu. Katanya: "Nik, tolong jangan main- main, please."

"Oh, sorry," kata Nik Aidil. Dia muncul semula sebagai manusia.

Badan Kaer bertambah sakit. "Owww!" katanya. Akma dan Nana melekatkan pipi mereka pada badan Kaer untuk melegakan kesakitannya.

Mawi, Fuad dan Kefli berkata mereka boleh menghilangkan rasa lapar seseorang dengan melepaskan gas berperisa pudina, coklat dan vanilla apabila menjadi kucing grafik komputer.

"Percayalah tiga ekor kucing ni," kata Fuad.

"Dengan kami bertiga, tak payahlah pergi kafe," kata Mawi.

"Atau bistro," kata Kefli.

Mereka bertiga pun bertukar menjadi kucing dan melepaskan gas berperisa pudina, coklat dan vanilla dari bulu mereka.

Mawi yang juga mempunyai kuasa Aircon melepaskan udara yang sejuk dan nyaman.

Adam, Kaer dan Saipul beransur pulih dari sakit mereka.

"Hi, Adam. Hi, Kaer," kata Diana, sambil senyum. "You guys are so handsome today."

Nikki berkata kepada Diana: "Oh, please, you Chubby Wubby. Not Adam."

Adam berkata kepada Nikki: "Stop disturbing her, Pinky Girl. She's my ideal beauty from Georgia."

Rydee dan Ekin menenangkan Adam.

Atie menyentuh muka Saipul. "Kak Atie amat sayang samamu, Adik Saipul yang kacak lagi comel," katanya.

Saipul berkata kepada Atie: "Kak, U sememangnya wanita tercantik di dunia dan Saipul sanggup menulis semula lirik Layla hanya untukmu."

Amylea berkata: "Eleeeh! Apa gila-gila romantik ni?"

Farah berkata: "Cool it, Amylea. Adik kami kena banyak berehat."

Amy dan Nurul memeluk Saipul dan melekatkan pipi mereka pada badannya.

Bo dan Yazer berkata: "Guys, we sense the presence of some wildlife."

Simon melukis seekor harimau. Ia bertukar menjadi Victor Lee.

Reza pun bertukar menjadi harimau dan mengaum bersama Victor, si stylis rambut dari Pulau Pinang.

Simon melukis dua ekor singa. Mereka bertukar menjadi Azizi Mohamad dan Vick Teo.

Azizi dan Vick diikuti oleh Nicole McKibbin, Kimberley Locke, Fitri Zainal Abidin, Adi Fashla Juraimi, Sahri Sarip, Zamil Idris, Fazly Zainal dan Fahmy Zakaria.

"Hi there, LJ!" kata Fuad kepada Adi Fashla (LJ maksudnya Lime Juice. Adi Fashla adalah model iklan jus limau nipis di televisyen Malaysia).

Simon melukis kelip-kelip.

Yazer berkata kepada Felix: "Serangga tu tak bahaya. So, jangan jadi Felixonator."

(Felix digelar Felixonator disebabkan kuasanya yang boleh mengusir serangga perosak dan nyamuk).

Felix berkata: "Don't worry. Yazer belum lagi pergi ke gerai Kak Mas. Saya belum ada kuasa tu lagi."

Nana berkata: "Felix akan dapat kuasa tu sekarang. Gerai Mas dah muncul."

Nana menekan HPnya dan gerai Mas pun muncul di depan mereka. Yazer menyentuh gerai itu.

Yazer berkata kepada Felix: "All yours now, bro."

Empat ekor kelip-kelip bertukar menjadi Edlin Rahim, Zarina Zainoordin, Liza Ismail dan Nija Tahar.

Edlin berkata: "Hi, guys. Ronan's coming real soon."

Andrew Tan pun muncul.

Katanya kepada Edlin: "Kak, what is going on here?"

Edlin memegang tangan Andrew sambil berkata: "Don't worry, sayang. You'll soon find out. Tak payah takut."

Zarina berkata: "Kita semua akan keluar dari sini dengan bantuan Mr Simon."

Liza berkata: "Yes, Mr Simon dari American Idol."

Nija berkata kepada Simon: "Hiiiiiiii!"

Simon mendapat kejutan elektrik.

"You scare me, Nija," katanya.

"Oooh, sorry!" kata Nija.

Beberapa ekor semut sebesar singa muncul.

Felix berkata: "Stand back, guys. This'll be a blast."

Dia melepaskan kuasa ajaibnya yang mengusir serangga tersebut.

Nicole dan Kimberley memuji Felix.

"Our dear friends, Belinda Carlisle, Charlotte Caffey, Gina Schock, Jane Wiedlin and Kathy Valentine, the Go-Gos, will be proud of you, Felix," kata Kimberley.

Vick berkata: "Guys, I can turn some of this candy into ice candy. Wanna try?"

Azizi berkata: "Let's show them, guys."

Azizi, Vick, Reza, Victor, Fitri, Anding, Zamil, Fahmy, Fazly, Adi Fashla, Sahri, Nicole dan Kimberley menukarkan gula-gula itu kepada ais krim.

Nemo menjilat gula-gula itu, diikuti oleh Bob dan Elliza.

"Amboi, comelnya adikku Elliza," kata Zahid.

"Abang pun comel jugak," kata Elliza.

Carrie berkata: "Let's add some colour to Chalk Land."

Dengan HPnya, Carrie mewarnakan semua objek di Alam Lukisan Kapur.

Vince berkata: "Carrie, I don't remember having a shirt like this. It was originally red, not brown."

Carrie berkata: "No problem, Vincey baby!" Dia menukar warna baju Vince kepada merah.

Beberapa ekor makhluk asing yang menyerupai jengking dan labah-labah gergasi muncul.

Vince berkata mereka adalah virus komputer.

Katanya: "Kelly, Linda and Marsha. Be on stand-by. I'll deal with these monsters first."

Burn berkata: "I'm with you, Vince. I'll freeze them motionless. Vonzell, get your firewalls ready."

Bo memecahkan sebatang gula-gula tongkat dengan HPnya. Gula-gula itu jatuh ke atas kepala seekor virus dan membuatnya pengsan.

Nik Aidil dengan beraninya melompat ke arah seekor virus. Virus itu cuba memijak Nik Aidil, tetapi ia tergelincir dan terjatuh.

"It's clobbering time," kata Vince.

Vince menembak virus-virus itu dengan HPnya. Linda, Marsha dan Kelly bersedia menembak virus yang lain.

Apabila seekor virus musnah, kakinya tidak hancur. Kaki virus itu melayang ke arah Vince semacam beliung. Dua batang kaki virus menikam paha dan perut Vince.

"Kor!" teriak Linda dan Marsha.

Jaclyn berasa cemas dan membantu menarik kaki virus itu keluar dari paha dan perut Vince. Fantasia menolong Jaclyn.

Mereka berdua gagal menarik kaki virus keluar. Vince berasa amat sakit. Dia mulai lemah.

Kelly berkata: "Linda, Marsha. I need your help. Let's pull the limbs out of Vince. Only the three of us can tackle viruses."

Kelly, Linda dan Marsha memegang Vince dan menarik kaki virus keluar darinya. Mereka berjaya.

Vince, yang masih kesakitan, dipeluk oleh Kelly dan Linda. "Kor, please get better," kata Marsha, dengan mata yang basah dan merah.

Jaclyn dan Fantasia mengusap rambut dan dahi Vince. "It's OK, Vincey baby. You'll be fine. We love you."

Marsha menggunakan HPnya untuk menghasilkan dua ekor lipan gergasi yang berwarna biru dan merah.

Katanya: "Lipan biru itu kena gigit kaki Kor Vince. Ia akan sembuhkan Kor Vince. Lipan merah pula melindungi kita dari musuh."

Linda dan Kelly menenangkan Vince, yang terkejut mendengar penerangan Marsha. Mereka menyuruh Vince percaya cakap Marsha.

Carrie memegang tangan Vince dan berkata: "It's OK, Vincey."

Lipan biru itu menggigit kaki Vince. Ia menyuntik ubat ke dalam badan Vince dan memulihkan kesakitannya.

"Thanks, Marsha," kata Vince. "Sorry I doubted you."

Vonzell menghasilkan tembok elektrik (firewall). Virus yang menyerang mereka itu dibakar oleh tembok itu lalu musnah. Kaki virus itu pun dihancurkan oleh tembok.

Kaki virus yang dicabut dari badan Vince itu turut musnah.

"Well done, Vonzell," kata Burn.

"U R great, girl," kata Sharmila.

"Makasih kak," kata Mas.

Vonzell memeluk Burn dan mencium dahi Burn. "Thanks, bro. U R simply the best," katanya.

Nik Aidil, yang bertukar menjadi kijang dan melompat ke arah virus, dengan tiba-tiba diterajang balik ke arah Simon dan Kaer.

Dia terjatuh ke atas gula-gula marshmallow gergasi, yang bertindak melindunginya dari kecederaan.

"What's going on, Cabin Man?" kata Kaer.

"Esh, tolong jangan usik saudara kami, sayang," kata Idayu kepada Kaer.

"Tornado datang," kata Nik Aidil. "Kita kena lari."

Simon menyuruh Zahid memimpin mereka ke dalam tornado.

Katanya: "Zahid, since you are the only one who can ride a storm, you should lead us. Nemo, protect us with your force fields."

Elliza berkata: "Hey, saya pun boleh masuk tornado." Zahid menyuruh Simon percaya akan kata-kata Eliza.

Zahid berkata: "OK, guys. Tengok tongkat gula-gula ni. Saya akan pegang pangkalnya, dan Elliza akan pegang hujungnya. Anda semua kena masuk kumpulan masing-masing."

Kekawan Idola pun memasuki kumpulan masing-masing. Simon memasuki kumpulan Aznil dan Jien iaitu hos rancangan AF dan MI.

Zahid memegang pangkal tongkat gula-gula dan Elliza memegang hujungnya.

Elliza berkata:"Guys, please relax. We'll be taking off any time now."

Nemo menghasilkan zon kebal di sekeliling setiap kumpulan. Elliza melekatkan hujung tongkat gula-gula itu ke atas sebuah zon kebal.

Zon kebal yang lain pun melekat ke atas zon kebal tersebut.

Zahid berkata: "Elliza, kita akan berjalan sekarang. Hang on, guys. This is gonna be fun."

Elliza berkata: "Right on, bro."

Zahid dan Elliza berlari ke langit semacam "surfing". Simon dan kawan-kawannya mengikut dari belakang dalam zon kebal masing-masing.

Tongkat gula-gula itu membantu Zahid dan Elliza memasuki tornado dengan mudah.

Tornado itu memusnahkan dunia gula-gula yang dilukis oleh Simon. Gula-gula itu kelihatan berputar di dalam tornado.

Mereka semua mendarat di atas sebuah tasik biru di sebuah kawasan Alpine.

Vince berkata: "This lake was once in my dream. I dreamt that I was swimming in it. A minty ice ball floated down from the snow-capped mountains and landed in my hands. I had a great feast.

"But as soon as I finished my meal, I was teleported out of the lake and ended up back in my bathroom. Blame it on Linda."

Linda berkata: "Kor, I needed your help. Kita kena musnahkan virus dalam komputer Zainal Alam Kadir."

Simon berkata: "Look who's here! Henry, is that you?"

Enrique Iglesias muncul dari dasar tasik.

Katanya: "Hi, guys. I decided to come because Simon did not respond to my telephone calls earlier. I was planning to visit him later that day but he went missing.

"The logical conclusion I had was, he entered the Chalk Land."

Enrique berkata dia mempunyai kuasa untuk memasuki Dunia Lukisan Kapur.

"Not long ago, Nemo visited my house and he licked my hand.

"A few minutes later, I found a piece of chalk and I touched it. Before I knew it, I entered the world of chalk drawings.

"Every scene I imagined came true in the Chalk Land," katanya.

Jaclyn berkata: "We need your help, Enrique. We must return to the real world, to be reunited with our families."

Enrique berkata: "No problem. But first, there is some cleaning up we have to do."

Enrique dan kawan-kawannya dibawa oleh Nemo ke tepi tasik itu.

Enrique berkata: "Idols, please name the hosts and judges of your shows. Those from Akademi Fantasia, please name your principals, too."

Member AF1 menamakan pengetua mereka, Freddie Fernandez. Member AF2 menamakan pengetua mereka, Ramli M S. Member AF3 menamakan pengetua mereka, M Nasir.

Member AF juga menamakan hos AF, Aznil. "That's me," katanya.

Mereka turut menamakan pengkritik utama AF, Kudsia Kahar, iaitu bos Nana.

Finalis MI menamakan hakim rancangan mereka, Roslan Aziz, Paul Moss dan Fauziah Latiff, serta hos rancangan, Sharifah Aleya, Soo Kui Jien dan Cheryl Samad.

"Why must you link my name with Paul Moss?" tanya Jien.

Farah membunyikan "Breeep!" dari HPnya.

Finalis AI menamakan hakim rancangan mereka iaitu Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson dan Simon Cowell, serta hos rancangan Ryan Seacrest.

Enrique berkata: "That was good, guys. Now, name two butt-kicking beauties who are my good friends. One of them starred in the video for my hit song, Hero."

Diana menamakan bintang filem "I Know What You Did Last Summer" iaitu Sarah Michelle Gellar dan Jennifer Love Hewitt.

"Thanks," kata Enrique. Gellar dan Hewitt menghubungi HPnya.

"Hi, Henry," kata Gellar. "Hi, guys. U all right?"

"Yes, we are," kata Diana sambil tersenyum.

"Please tell Enrique to shut up," kata Hewitt.

"Oh, OK," kata Diana.

"Henry, Jen wants you to shut up," kata Diana kepada Enrique.

Enrique berkata: "Don't worry. We understand each other."

Enrique menyuruh Nemo menghantar mereka ke setiap tempat yang dilawati di Alam Lukisan Kapur.

Semua tempat itu telah diperbaiki dari kerosakan dan pencemaran. Jambatan itu telah dipulihkan. Taman gula-gula itu telah diperbaiki. Lautan Ocha yang dicemari dakwat telah dibersihkan.

"Bolehkah kita melawat Alam Lukisan Kapur sekali lagi?" tanya Zahid.

Enrique berkata: "Only if you seek my help first."

Enrique menyuruh kawan-kawannya mengatakan nama Guy Sebastian, Will Young, Gareth Gates, Taufik Batisah dan Joy Tobing.

"Di manakah saudara belajar ni semua?" tanya Khai.

Enrique menjawab: "The power I received from Nemo comes with a manual in my hand phone."

Enrique menyuruh Zahid membuang tongkat gula-gulanya ke dalam tasik.Zahid berbuat begitu, dan satu pusaran air muncul di atas tasik.

"Let's go inside. The real world is at the bottom of the whirl pool," kata Enrique.

Rosma berkata: "Enrique, saudara semacam seorang rakan kenalan saya tahun lalu."

Jalaluddin Hassan muncul dan berkata: "Anda sudah bersedia?" Dia terus ghaib.

Enrique dan kawan-kawannya dibawa oleh Nemo ke atas pusaran air. Satu persatu, mereka melompat ke dalamnya.

Mereka akhirnya muncul di sebuah studio di London. Konsert Pop Idol disiarkan dari studio itu.

Enrique berkata: "If I had not gone here before going into Chalk Land, you guys would have ended up in Simon's bed room."

Kelly bertanya kepada Enrique dan Simon: "How did you guys find the chalk?"

Mereka menjawab: "We don't know. Nemo found the chalk, really."

Khai bertanya kepada Nemo: "Di mana Nemo dapat kapur tu?"

SMS Nemo muncul dalam HP Khai. Katanya: "Kapur itu saya dapatkan dari muzium di London."

Clay, Ruben, Justin dan Bo berkata: "Guys, we'll check out the museum. We believe that the chalk is a magical treasure that harks back to the days of Empire."

Nemo membawa mereka berempat ke sebuah muzium. Di sana mereka berempat menjumpai sekotak kapur yang dihadiahkan kepada muzium itu oleh dua orang pegawai kolonial British yang mentadbir Malaysia di zaman penjajahan British.

Pegawai itu ialah Sir Frank Swettenham dan Sir Hugh Low.

Vince berkata: "They were prominent leaders of our country during colonial times."

Linda berkata: "Mr Low juga mendaki Gunung Kinabalu, dekat kampung saya, Ranau."

Ekin berkata: "Cucu Mr Low juga pernah tinggal di kampung saya, Labuan. Seorang daripada cucunya pernah menjadi ketua menteri Brunei, iaitu Sheikh Azhari Mahmud."

Jaclyn berkata: "Guys, let's speak to a few Malaysian entertainers. They will tell us more about Swettenham and Low."

Nemo membawa ke studio beberapa orang penghibur dan personaliti terkenal dari Malaysia.

Mereka ialah Guy (yang kini menetap di Australia), KRU, Erra Fazira, Ning Baizura, Saiful Azam Yusoff (Apek), Ziana Zain, Anuar Zain, Ellina Razak (kakak Elliza), Fasha Sandha, Nor Fazura, Ismail Din, Fauziah Ahmad Daud, Salleh Yaakob, Dia Fadila, Syura, M Nasir, Roslan Aziz, Fauziah Latiff, Camelia, Dayang Nurfaizah dan Anita Sarawak.

Nasir berkata: "Ada seorang lagi personaliti."

Nasir menekan HPnya dan membawa kemari Nur Amalina Che Bakri, pelajar cemerlang yang mendapat 17A dalam peperiksaan SPM tahun 2005.

"Salam sejahtera, saudara-saudari semua. Hello, Khai, Farah dan Kaer," katanya.

"Tahniah dan selamat maju jaya, saudari," kata Khai.

"You have done Johor and the nation proud," kata Dina.

Selepas satu perbincangan pendek bersama personaliti, Simon, Enrique dan member Kekawan Idola terus berkumpul di bilik tidur dan bilik mesyuarat Edlin di Kuala Lumpur.

Edlin bertanya kepada Khai: "Adakah abang bawak kami ke dalam Alam Lukisan Kapur?"

Khai menjawab: "Ya. Pada satu hari, Nemo bagi saya sebatang kapur, dan sebaik saja saya sentuh kapur tu, saya terus diserap ke dalam Alam Lukisan Kapur. Saya pun suruh Nemo bawak rakan-rakan saya dari Kekawan Idola ke dalam Alam Lukisan Kapur."

Jasmine memuji Khai sambil mengusap belakang badannya. "Dai, you did the right thing. We stick together as brothers and sisters," katanya.

Sebaik sahaja mereka tiba di rumah Edlin, Farah menekan HPnya dan membawa kemari 3 orang peserta audition AF3 yang tidak berjaya - Shiha Zikir, Diana Tajul Ariffin dan Hazrina Illias.

Farah memberitahu mereka bertiga pasal kapur ajaib itu. Shiha, Diana dan Hazrina menceritakan kisah mereka menemui batu ajaib di rumah mereka, yang membuatkan mereka bermimpi pasal dunia lukisan kapur.

Shiha, yang memeluk si comel Saipul, berkata: "Saya temui sebiji batu kecil di belakang rumah saya di Selayang beberapa hari yang lalu. Ia membuatkan saya bermimpi memasuki dunia lukisan kapur.

"Di dunia lukisan kapur, saya menemui saudara-saudari semua."

Diana menceritakan pengalaman yang sama, setelah menemui sebiji batu kecil di belakang rumahnya di Kuala Lumpur.

Edlin dan Zarina bertanya kepada Hazrina sama ada mimpi yang sama dialaminya. Hazrina, yang menemui batu kecil di belakang rumahnya di Sitiawan, Perak, menjawab dengan positif.

"Kami bertiga mengalami mimpi yang sama. Pelik sungguh," katanya.

Edlin berkata: "Kapur ajaib ini adalah dihasilkan dari batu-batan di negeri Selangor, iaitu tempat tinggal kebanyakan finalis AF dan MI.

"Saya ingat dua ejen British itu mengambil batu-batan dari sini untuk dijadikan kapur di Britain.

"Mereka mungkin tahu batu-batan itu mempunyai kuasa ajaib."

Khai memberitahu Edlin bahawa Nemo menemui batu yang sama di dalam hutan di hulu Sungai Johor, dalam daerah Kota Tinggi, Johor.

Farah membawa kemari finalis Akademi Fantasia Indonesia Veri Afandi dari Medan di Sumatera.

Veri memberitahu mereka bahawa dia menemui sebiji batu kecil di Palembang, Sumatera Selatan, dan batu itu memberikannya mimpi yang sama dengan Shiha, Diana dan Hazrina.

Kaer berkata dia ada satu teori pasal batu ajaib itu.

Katanya: "Empayar Melayu asalnya berpusat di Selangor, di Kuala Lumpur sekarang, dan juga di Johor dan Palembang.

"Batu-batan itu digunakan untuk mendirikan istana dan kota raja-raja Melayu dan memiliki kuasa ajaib. Kuasa itu hanya dapat dikenali oleh anak cucu raja-raja Melayu purba serta anak cucu hambanya, di abad ke-21."

Akma berkata sambil menepuk bahu Kaer: "Memang betul kata Adik Kaer. Akma rasa kita kena hubungi Zainal Ariffin Ismail dari siri rencana TV3 Misteri Nusantara."

Zahid menghubungi Zainal Ariffin, dan penerbit serta pengacara itu berkata: "Ya, memang betul Selangor, Johor dan Palembang adalah pusat Empayar Melayu. Istana dan kota raja-raja Melayu purba diperbuat dari batu-batan ajaib."

Zahid, Elliza, Khai dan Dina menyuruh Nemo membawa mereka ke tapak istana dan kota raja-raja Melayu di hulu Sungai Johor, Kota Tinggi, Johor.

Sebaik sahaja mereka berlima tiba di tapak kota itu, Khai dan Dina menyentuh sebuah batu. Batu itu membuatkan mereka berdua melihat Alam Lukisan Kapur.

Mereka berlima pulang ke rumah Edlin dan menceritakan pengalaman Khai dan Dina kepada kawan-kawan mereka.

Edlin berkata: "Mari kita rehat dulu. Ini semua betul-betul pelik. Lebih baik kita bincang pasal ni di lain hari."

Zarina berkata: "Ya lah, aku betul-betul rasa letih."

Beberapa hari kemudian, Azizi dan Vick berada di sebuah restoran di Jakarta bersama kawan karib mereka, iaitu finalis Akademi Fantasia Indonesia (AFI) Cindy Carolina. Mereka berdua menceritakan kepada Cindy pasal "penemuan" mereka.

Azizi berkata: "Ia adalah sebatang kapur yang menyatukan Malaysia dan Indonesia."

Cindy berkata dia baru menemui sebiji batu ajaib di Palembang, dan batu itu mempunyai kuasa untuk membawanya ke dalam Alam Lukisan Kapur.

Di sebuah lagi restoran yang berdekatan, Khai, Zahid, Elliza dan Dina sedang makan bersama finalis AFI dan kawan karib mereka, Theodora Setyawati (Tia). Tia menceritakan kepada mereka pengalamannya yang serupa dengan pengalaman Cindy.

Khai berkata: "Kawan kami dari Johor, Azlif Abdullah, seorang peserta audition AF3 juga mempunyai pengalaman yang serupa. Batu ajaib itu dijumpainya dekat Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur."

Tia berkata: "Finalis AFI dari Bali, Sutha Wijaya, juga mempunyai pengalaman yang sama. Dia menjumpai batu itu di Denpasar."

Zahid menerima panggilan HP dari finalis Akademi Fantasia Thailand (AFT)Tanyanan Mahapiroon. Katanya: "Hi, guys. I hear from Nemo that you have been entering works of art."

Zahid berkata: "We have, Jeen. Penemuan batu ajaib oleh kami bakal membawa perubahan besar kepada ASEAN. I'll tell you about it later. Kirim salam kami kepada Pacharapon Jantieng dan Pongsak Rattanaphong."

Di sebuah kafe di Kuching, Sarawak, Saipul, Nurul, Farah, Atie, Azza, Amy dan Amylea sedang minum bersama peserta audition AF3 Isa Kumar Jali Sulaiman.

Isa berkata: "Batu kecil ni saya jumpa di belakang rumah. Batu ni buatkan saya bermimpi masuk ke dalam Alam Lukisan Kapur. Isa jumpa saudara-saudari semua, bersama Simon Cowell di sana."

Di sebuah kafe di Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Ekin, Adam dan Rydee sedang minum bersama peserta audition AF3 Haider Arif. Dia menceritakan kepada mereka pengalaman yang sama dengan Isa.

Nikki muncul dan berkata: "Ini semua bukan filem X-Files. If you want to know more, you can e-mail Simon Cowell and Enrique Iglesias at these addresses."

Di sebuah kafe di Muar, Johor, Zainal Alam Kadir, Nana, Kaer, Sufiah, Akma, Idayu dan Nik Aidil sedang minum bersama Menteri Besar Johor Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman (suku-sakat Zainal Alam).

Ghani berkata dia baru sahaja menemui sebiji batu di belakang rumahnya di Johor Baru, iaitu ketika Nemo datang berjumpanya.

"Saya temui seekor kucing yang pelik di taman saya. Dia ada sebiji batu kecil melekat di atas badannya. Saya pun menyimpan batu itu dan memberikan makanan kepada kucing tu," katanya.

"Kucing tu terus ghaib."

Nana berkata: "Datuk, malam ni ada adventure hebat di alam mimpi. Sure seronok."

Di rumahnya di London, Simon Cowell sedang tidur lena. Di atas mejanya ada sebatang kapur putih yang disimpan di dalam kotak pen yang cantik.
