Twisted Wonderland 2

Flying Jellyfish

You sit on one of the beach chairs as you sketch. Some of the boys are surfing on the waves as the sun starts to set. You draw Riddle standing in the ocean with the water splashing around his legs. He holds Stitch on his back as the sun shines down on them.

You look up to see Floyd do a flip with his board, landing back on the water perfectly. He's taken to surfing like a fish to water... literally. You laugh at your own pun.

After a little while longer, the boys are done surfing and walk out of the water. They wave to you as they pass by. You cheerfully wave back and return to your drawing. A shadow falls over you. Looking up, you see Floyd grinning at you.

"Sup, Little Shrimpy."

"Oh, hey Floyd." You smile. "How was surfing?"

Floyd shrugs. "It was alright. I have an idea to make tonight much cooler though."

You laugh. "I bet. If it's an idea from you, I'm sure it will be crazy."

Floyd chuckles. "Glad you get me." He gestures with a nod to the jungle. "I need you to come with me to get some stuff."

You tilt your head. "Oh, do you need my help with something?"

He grins. "Just follow me and you'll find out."

You start to put your stuff in your bag. "Alright, just let me-" Floyd grabs your arm, dragging you along with him. "-whoaky!"

Floyd leads you to the crash site.

"Yo, Stitch. You here?"

Stitch pops his head up from his tinkering.

"So uh, any chance you got any extra parts that you won't be usin' on the ship?" Floyd asks.

Stitch points to a pile of scrap.

"I'd like to grind these metals down into powder." Floyd hands some to Stitch. "Think you can do that?"

Stitch smirks. Taking the metal and smashing them into a fine powder.

"Whoa, dang!" Floyd exclaims. "You really can do anything. You pulverized those parts like THAT."

"Oh, you actually can. You keep surprising me." You say to the alien.

Floyd takes the ground up metal and a few other parts. Sitting down as he works. "Okay, time for Professor Floyd's Big Experiment. What's this powder get me...? Ooh, green sparks. This one gets red, this one gets purple... Add in some of the stinky dirt I dug up near a hot spring and...do like so...attach a stick..." Floyd laughs. "NICE. I'm a genius!"

Looking over Floyd's shoulder, you see he made some kind of firework.

Stitch tilts his head curiosily.

Floyd chuckles. "You wanna know what I'm makin', Stitch? They're called flying jellyfish. Wait, what're they called on land again?"

"I think you mean fireworks." You inform.

"Oh yeah, fireworks. You know what those are?" Floyd asks the alien.

Stitch nods excitedly, helping Floyd make more.

"Ooh, you'll help me make some? Thanks!"

You sit down next to Floyd. "What can I do to help?"

"Just copy what I do." He says. "If you have any trouble just ask me or Stitch."

You nod, getting the same materials as them and copying what they do.

Floyd tilts his head in thought. "Jade and I visited a coast to see fireworks together once. Oh, Jade's my brother."
