S1 E4: Skills of Science

Chapter 6

Yellow POV

Yellow shuffled around nervously as he waited for Amber to arrive

"Don't worry," said Blue, "I'm sure she arrive soon."

"I know," he said, "I just hope nothing goes wrong."

"I'm sure nothing will go wrong," said Red, "You're the best inventor ever."

"Thanks, Red."

He turned around to look for Amber but was startled to see Amber right in front of him.

"Oh my sticks! I'm sorry I scared you."

"No, it's alright," he said, "Where is your mom?"

"At the judging table," she explained, "I told her that I  had to use the bathroom."

She put out the glider from her backpack and put it on Yellow. His friends gasped in amazement.

"It's look like metal wings," Red said

"That's basically it," said Yellow, "Now I just need to know how to steer it."

"It's easy. You just tilt to whatever direction you want to go."

"And for the jets?"

"Push the red button."

"Ok, I think I've got it," Yellow said, "But what am I supposed to tell everyone when they ask about you?"

"Uhh....tell them...that I'm coming soon?"

"You still haven't figured it out yet?"

"No."

"Why can't you just tell your mom?" asked Green

Amber shook her head

"If I tell her that I'm in the contest, she will be very mad with me. She will probably force me to drop out."

"May I have your attention please."

Yellow looks to see a dark blue stick wearing a lab coat.

"My name is Mr. Denim, the head professor here at the University of Stickville, and I would like to welcome you to this year's science contest."

As everyone was clapping, he noticed that Amber had sneaked back to her mother's side.

"Now, the contest is pretty simple. You and your partner will present your project together, and whichever one is the best one wins. Now, let's get this contest started."

As he waited for his turn, he saw something out of the corner of his eyes. When you want to look at it, he saw a dark red figure staring at him. Alarmed, he looked to see if his friends had seen it, but when he turned back to it, it disappeared.

Was that the Dark Lord? No, it couldn't be. I'm imagining things, right?

Before he could think about it any longer, it was his turn

"Hi, my name is Yellow, and my partner is kind of running late. Is it ok if I present it without her?"

"I'm mean, I guess it's OK," said Mr. Denim l, " so long if your partner isn't mad at you afterward."

"She won't be," Yellow said as he cast a meaningful glance at Amber

"We all dream of being able to fly like birds. Now you can."

He pressed the jet button on the glider and flew around the crowd.

"With this glider, you can fly with or without wind."

He presses the button to turn off the jets for a second. He gracefully glided down toward the crowd and pressed the button again to boost into the air.

"You can also turn whichever direction you want to go easily."

As he demonstrated how to turn, he saw that the crowd was amazed, and Mr. Denim seemed impressed.

We might have a chance of winning the contest

But then he saw it. A dark red figure staring at him from afar. The Dark Lord was back.
