may 12, 2010Then the thrusters ignite and he's flying again, swooping away from my view. I let out an exhausted sigh of relief. The binoculars drop from my face as I hold them at my thighs. I'm seriously considering doing a happy dance when I hear a sudden crumble above me. I look up only to see a large metal suit crash through the ceiling, demolish my piano, and then break through the floor below it.
I scream in horror before I hear car alarms go off following another loud crash. I sprint over to the large hole in the floor, staring down as a metal suit lays on top of the blue sportscar below.
"Holy crap!" I shout.
Dummy then proceeds to spray the metal suit with the fire extinguisher. I run down the stairs and towards the suit to watch the man inside slowly shift around, proving that he is still alive. I let out a sigh of relief before remembering how exactly furious I am. So I bend down, pick up a nearby scrap of metal, and hurl it at the metal helmet.
Suddenly the metal suit jolts and I hear an alarmed, "Ah!"
Still groaning and muttering, Dad yanks off the mask, throws it off to the side, and then turns back to glare, "Seriously?!"
"Quite frankly, it serves you right," I cross my arms across my chest.
He opens his mouth in astonishment, "Excuse me? Did you not just see me crash through three stories?"
"Oh no, I definitely saw that," I scowl, "You tried flying without me around! What were you thinking?!"
He winces, "Sorry. I didn't think you'd be okay with me going ahead and doing it so early."
"Well, we can both see why I'd be right," I gaze up at the holes that lead me to a starry dark sky, "What on earth were you thinking?!"
"Lees, do you not see how absurd it is that I have just made history and yet here you are, grilling me?" Dad frowns, standing, "That just doesn't make any sense."
