Hello all! This is Willikers, presenting you a knew fic that's probably going to be 2 Chapters long
The kids from PS 118's 4th Grade Class swarmed around Ms. Rhonda Wellington Lloyd. She was obviously enjoying the attention she's getting because she's basically smiling ear to ear, flaunting and wavering around a golden-coloured slingshot covered with glitter.
Seeing the girl with such a weapon made the Pataki's lone brow rise with curiosity. Why would the princess wield such a thing, she wondered.
"And now." Rhonda announced, silencing the crowd with her voice. "This is my fool-proof slingshot that says who you're going to marry. It's scientifically proven and unlike my origami marriage predictor, this would really work." The crowed 'Ooh-ed' and 'Aah-ed', but Gerald had commented on how she knows it's going to be accurate. This made the Lloyd smile, considering what the Johanssen had said was a challenge.
"Well then, it seems like we have a non-believer in the crowd." Rhonda said, reaching her hands out to a certain red-head Arnold had set his eyes on. "Lila be a doll and try this slingshot marriage-predictor out."
Lila smiled shyly and accepted. "Gosh, Rhonda. I would want to try it ever so much."
Rhonda smiled. "Everyone, pay attention please! I will know show you that this marriage-predictor does work!"
The crowd seemed to focus know since Lila Sawyer was going to try it. "Gosh, who ever Ms. Lila hits with that slingshot will be a lucky man." Sid said.
And Arnold internally agreed.
"First!" Rhonda said, clutching the girl by her shoulder. "You have to spin three times." And so, she spun the girl three times 'till she was dizzy. "Second, put anything that can be used as a bullet." She took out a crumpled piece of pink paper from her pocket and adjusted it on the slingshot's catapult.
"Lastly, aim then shoot." The redhead followed what she was ordered and attempted to aim. Since her vision was hazy, she released the rubber band and let the paper hit on a random kid.
Stinky gasped as the pink paper landed on his forehead. "Ms. Lila's going to marry me!" He cheered. "I'm a lucky man!"
"Boy howdy!" Sid cheered with him and the two boys high-fived. "That's super awesome, Stinky!"
"I reckon it is, Sid. Hey, you can be my best man in my wedding, you know."
"Really? Thanks Stinky! You'll be my best man too."
Arnold felt a little jealous. Shouldn't he get the girl of his dreams? What did he do to not deserve her?
"Now to make it scientifically accurate, we would have to try the process two more times." Rhonda said, ending her sentence with the 'Lloyd' smile.
"Why do we have to do it three times?" Sid asks. "Isn't it better if we just do it once?"
Phoebe spoke up as she pushed her glasses further up the bridge of her nose. "The purpose of doing it three times Sid," She started. "That it takes out the possibility that what you've just seen was just by chance: or a coincidence. By doing it three times, it gives the experiment a much more valuable and not to mention reliable data. For example, if Lila were to hit Stinky again, this would mean that Lila will have a better chance of marrying Stinky in the future and it will also justify that Rhonda's marriage-predictor slingshot accurate."
The crowd went quiet after the girl's explanation. Some wondered why she was in there class if her knowledge was too advanced for them. "A-Anyway, what she said!" Rhonda said, bringing the crowd's attention back to her.
She had repeated the process of twirling, aiming and shooting twice and Lila had ended up running to the girl's lavatory to vomit. Surprisingly, her shots were all directed to Stinky.
"Willikers.." The country boy breathed happily. "I'm going to be marrying Ms. Lila.."
"Congrats, Stinky." Rhonda said, wrinkling her nose as she started to imagine what Lila and Stinky's kid is going to look like. "So, does anyone want to try it?"
All kids gruntled but one brave hand was shot up in the air. "I'll try it." Gerald said.
"You know the drill, Johannsen." The Llyod smirked. Gerald smiled to Arnold, spun around three times, aimed then shoot. Phoebe squeaked as the crumpled paper hit her.
Gerald had done the process two times and the crumbled paper seems to always land on Phoebe Heyerdahl.
"It looks like Gerald is going to marry Phoebe!" Rhonda announced. "You two are going to make a very, very adorable couple."
The two smiled at each other and Helga didn't missed it. She always knew those two had a special connection with each other. Rhonda had asked for volunteers again and this time, Sheena had volunteered herself. It wasn't long till her attention on 'The wedding-predicting slingshot' was gone. She was about to head towards her home till a crumpled paper had hit the back of her head. Her eyes had slowly looked up to see who hit her with the paper and the victim was her football-headed obsession.
It was good that the only people left were Gerald, Nadine, Rhonda and Phoebe because the two gasped at the same time.
