The Race Against Time/Chapter 6

In 2011, Mabel runs away with a raft. In 1999, P4 runs away with a bus!
After P4 had arrived beside the Giant Pen monument, he knew exactly where he was: South Pole City, right in the center of town. The crowds, formerly staring in awe and wonder, had no time and continued with business. P4 knew he had to get to a time machine, and he knew there was one in Freezeland, as a developed experiment residing in Frostborough. The only problem: he couldn't afford a plane ticket, and the super-fast Polar Transit buses were parked for a meeting involving "high powers", as he saw on a bus schedule pamphlet on a rack. P4 knew the driver trusted Bill's Parking Tower as his prime parking garage choice, and luckier yet, it had a free entrance to Highway 1. Then, luckier yet, it was just down the street! As the clock struck 9 AM, P4 knew he had no time to lose- he must get down there! Hurrying through the morning rush, he tried to act nonchalant, as if he were just on an errand- not trying to get 11 1/4 years into the future by going across Antarctica in a single day.

That's where P4 got the idea to steal the bus.

Sure, it might be criminal, but if he could blow 1999 he could escape Eastshield authority. P4 searched that garage for 2 floors, then he finally found the bus. He decided to pick some penguins up that needed a ride to some stops between SPC and the destination. He rolled away onto Highway 1, and started on the journey.
