An (Extra)-Ordinary Adventure of Starla N Co Episode 4: Two from Other Dimension

Chapter 7

Three of them almost arrived at the intersection, as usual. The sidewalk is almost quiet, not as quiet as the road itself. They found a child standing and looking up at the sky, not even moving any inch like a statue.

"Hey kids, what's the matter?" Holly approached the child in question.

The child eventually turned where the voice called him, he dropped his jaw as he saw Holly, Starla and Rhys.

"Starla? Is that really you?" The child rubbed his own eyes, still didn't believe what he saw.

"Of course I am." Starla smiled.

Meanwhile Rhys waved and smiled at the child, but the boy seemed more focused on The Princess, Rhys shrugged.

"Seems you are having trouble, kid. Maybe I could help you with that. Just tell me what it is." Starla lower her body and held her knees with one hand, since Holly still grabbed her other hand.

"The kite, Starla. It stuck on the electric cable." the boy pointed at the sky.

Three of them saw the green kite being stuck on the electric cable just like what the boy told The Princess. They looked at him again."

"Is that your kite?" Rhys asked.

The boy shook. "Actually, I wanted that kite, because green is my favorite color."

"Why don't you just buy it in the store? Or at least make your own." Holly asked.

"I'll help you with that." Starla said before the boy even answered.

"Seriously, Starla? We can just help these poor kids by buying a kite or at least making one for him at least." Holly suggested.

"I agree, Starla. It seems wasting a time and what Holly said is the good way to deal with this situation,"

Starla shushed them. "Come on, guys. I want some thrill-seeking challenge here. It's so boring after playing those games in Zbox."

Rhys only glance at The Princess with blank stare while Holly shook and sighed.

"Alright kid, I'll help you with the kite, uhh... Who's your name?"

"Name's Nathan, Starla. And both of you?" Nathan looked at her friends.

"I'm Holly."

"and I'm Rhys."

After those short introductions, Holly let The Princess's hand go. She walked a few steps and looked up, Starla squinted at the green kite and also put her hand on her chin. She muttered to think about the strategies, the voice of the busy street doesn't bother her to conclude her idea to get the green kite from the electric cable.

Some of the vehicles that passed on the street even stopped for a moment because they saw Starla standing and thinking. Those who stopped using their opportunity to take photos of her, luckily, they don't even bother The Princess to do her 'heroic' deed.

A gentle breeze waving at her plum hair, not only her hair. But also everyone who's close to her as well.

"Are you still gonna do this, Starla?" Holly asked again.

No answer from The Princess, but she turned to them instead.

"All of you, close your eyes!" Starla instructs them.

Without asking twice, Holly, Rhys and Nathan covered their eyes. Some of the people on the street inside their car do the same thing. After that, Starla crosses her arm, letting both of her arm guard touching each other. A shining purple-ish light covered her body. She jumped and her attire turned into battle armor. The light disappeared and she landed on the sidewalk.

Starla started to run to the near electric pole, as she arrived in front of the pole. She begins to step on the pole and shoot a glowing string from both of her arm guards into the top of the pole, starting to climb.

Holly observed her friend's action while crossing her arm, Rhys stared at her with half close eyes, meanwhile Nathan kept glancing at The Princess with sparkling eyes.

As Starla arrived on the top of the pole, she took her seat and created another glowing string by combining two strings from both arm guards. After combining the string, Starla jumped a little until she hung on the electric cable by the string.

Holly almost held her breath and put one of her hands on the chest, Rhys remained calm, and Nathan clenched his hand and gave a wide smile, his eyes still sparkle in excitement.

She still hung up on the electric cable, then she proceeded to sway back and forth to give a force to move forward to the green kite, the cable also trembled. But she still keeps moving.

"I hope the cable didn't break." Starla huffed.

Another vehicles and pedestrians stopped for a moment as they saw Starla's stunt, they're taking photos and even recording it with their phone.

Rhys noticed the pedestrian and vehicle around him, some of the pedestrians were amazed by Starla's action. Rhys feel unbothered with their presence.

"Almost there," Starla kept swaying to reach the green kite.

She eventually arrived just in front of the green kite, later she realized that if she used one of her hands to grab the green kite, most likely she would fall to the ground, instead. She used her mouth, it took a few attempts to grab the green kite but in a careful way because she doesn't want to rip the kite accidentally.

"Come on, Starla! You can do it!" Nathan shouted.

After a few attempts, Starla decided to stop for a while, giving a break. She didn't think that it would be more exhausting than climbing a cliff.

People around the place thought Starla was already giving up, but both of her friends and Nathan didn't think the same like these people.

After those breaks, Starla took more attempts to get the green kite, a few attempts later, the green kite eventually got caught by her mouth, Nathan jumped and shrieked in happiness. Holly sighed in relief, Rhys clapped slowly. Meanwhile some people who watched her cheered.

The Princess let go the green kite from her mouth, the kite slowly falling to the ground, Nathan approached the green kite and jumped, grabbed it before it hit the ground.

"I got it!" Nathan waving his now own green kite.

Starla looked at the boy who got excited with the green kite, now she only has to find a way to get down from the electric cable. She is grateful that the electric cable didn't deep friend her. The Princess was actually aware that she could extend the glowing string.

Starla extends her glowing string from both arm guards, she slowly descends to the ground, as her feet step on the concrete sidewalk. She releases the glowing string from the arm guard, obtains it and rolls up the string with no trouble at all.

Once again, the pedestrians and some people that were still on the vehicle cheered and clapped for her, she gave them smiles and remained silent like a statue. Nathan, Holly and Rhys approached her.

"You rock, Starla!" Nathan pumped fist in the air. "Come on, fist bump!" Then he extended one of his arms and clenched his hand.

Starla looked confused, she decided to raise one of her hands and clenched it as well.

"Just bump it on my hand, but don't be too hard, ok?" Nathan said.

Eventually, The Princess bumps her fist to Nathan's fist, later. There's only silent between them and some busy road noise in the background.

"That's it?"

"Yep, just like high five. If you already know about that. Anyway, Goodbye, Starla!"

The boy left them, three of them just standing around and glanced at the boy.

"I actually never have a high five, does that work just like that?"

"Come on, Starla. We have to continue our journey," Holly grabbed her hand.

Three of them continued to walk, The Princess looked back right at Nathan's back, she smiled once again before she walked away with her friends.
