When school was over, Elena was nervous wondering what the teacher would say about her work. She wondered how Isa was going to react when she found out she didn't do well on a quiz. Elena asks the teacher what she wanted to ask her and the teacher shows her quiz score, being a C-. "I'm sorry that I failed, but there is a reason." Elena said. "I know." Said the teacher. Elena froze when she heard. "You do?" She was worried that she wasn't Isabel. "Yes." The teacher replied." You're under a lot of stress today because you are worried you won't get into that invention exposition."

Elena gave a little sign of relief realizing the teacher doesn't know that she isn't Isabel. "Wait, how do you know that?" "Professor Ochoa wrote me a letter about it." The teacher said, showing her the letter. "Isabel, you're the smartest person I've met and I'm proud that you could be getting this honor. But you shouldn't be focusing too much on hoping to get in so that you cause yourself not to do well on a quiz. You just need to relax and relieve everything that would work." "I'll remember that." Elena said and she left the room.

When Elena returned to the palace, she headed straight to Isabel's room to see Isabel laying on her bed. "What happened?" Elena asks, noticing she was looking down. Isabel got up and said "Oh nothing, just dealing with the grand council meeting, that someone forgot to tell me about." "I'm sorry I forgot to tell you about the meeting," Elena said. "This morning was so chaotic that the meeting slipped my mind."

Isa was still mad at Elena for not telling her. "How did you do?" Elena asks. "I don't know." Isabel said I wasn't that focused on the meeting. I had to say I was tired and asked the council to hold off the meeting till later. Working with the council was very hard. But I guess school was easy for you." Isabel asked Elena. "Actually it wasn't that easy from what I thought it would be." Elena said  "Your teacher and friends are nice but all the work, especially science, seems hard to do."

"Yeah." Isabel said, knowing how hard it must've been for both of them to do well in the other thing they each do. "Well at least you didn't do anything at school to lower my grades." "Well about that." Elena said and she got out the quiz and gave it to Isa. Isabel was silent when she looked through the quiz. When she looked up, she was still silent. Elena tried to explain what happened, mentioning how the teacher said it was alright. Isa dropped the quiz and said, "Well let's hope that nobody else finds out about this."'

Elena felt a little happy to see that Isa wasn't that angry that she thought she would be. Isabel then gave Elena her journal and said. "Though I'm a little worried you might ruin my invention. I really want to get into the exposition." She explained how she wrote some notes under the sketch to help her out with the invention. Elena then got an idea to help Isabel with the grand council and began to grab a paper and pencil and began to write down something.

When she was done writing, she gave it to Isabel saying that she wrote down a list of things she needed to do while she's in the meeting. Isa looked through what Elena wrote and said "I think I can do all these things." "I guess we are ready and if you excuse me, I have an invention to work on." Elena said and she headed out to head to the science academy. "Please don't screw this up." Isabel said as she watched her sister leave.
