Classical Days

Charioteers

"My god! This place is so beautiful!" Janie exclaimed. The Latin class was on their yearly field trip to a college in Massachussetts where they do many things; from being tested on their latin skills to building and riding a chariot.

"I know. Isn't is wonderful." Edison agreed.

"You'd think by the third year this gets tiring." Cyan said.

"Okay people! First off... how much do you really know of the Latin language? Would Classical like to bring up a representative?" Cyan smirked at the announcer, then at Edison.

"Oh no! Not me! That'd be-" Edison started, but it was too late.

"I'd like to offer my friend, Edison as tribute." Cyan smiled.

"You... you mean this five year old? Clearly you must be joking." The announcer said with a half laugh.

"

"Nope! He's smart enough in Latin to be our teacher." Cyan replied.

He was right about that much. Edison thought.

"Okay then..."

O-o-O-o-O-o-O-o-O

The announcer looked at Edison in shock. So far... he had gotten all the questions right.

"Okay then Edison... What declension is the Latin word, auriga-"

"First!" Edison snapped."And speaking of charioteers, is this thing over? I believe the chariot race is approaching soon."

"You did get every question right. So I guess this little five year old beat us all." The announcer started clapping."Give it up for Edison!" Edison's whole class, which consisted of fifty people from all five of his classes, cheered.

"Yeah! Ghost-Meister, you actually did something useful for a change!" Cyan cheered.

"If I were only two feet taller..." Edison mumbled."I'd smack that smile off your face."

The last competition of the day was the famed chariot race. Everyone did their best to make the chariot with Janie drawing the small version of Edison on the side.

"We're gonna win this year, class!" Edison exclaimed.

"Yeah Ghost-Meister!" Cyan placedone of those Roman chariot hats on Edison's head."Lead us to victory!"

"Me?! Oh no... I'm too-" Edison almost said."Oh yeah... I'm small. I weigh less than all of you."

"Exactly! Now teacher... teach us the meaning of victory! " Cyan and Janie cheered.

OoOoOoOoO

"Ow..." Edison groaned. The class did win, but Edison crashed into a wall and broke his arm."Cyan... never again..."

"Mr. Boo, you did it!" Janie exclaimed, hugging Edison tightly.

"Ow! Ah... it hurts so much..." Edison complained.

But yet... it feels so nice ... Edison thought.

"Looks like someone happy." Cyan smirked. Edison had a slight smile on his face and his eyes were closed peacefully. Today ended in victory, for everyone's sake.
