Before the end of the school day, the kids in Ms. Fowl's fifth grade class were having "Show-and-Tell" as Ms. Fowl said the past two days.
"So who wants to go first?" asked Ms. Fowl.
"Ooo, ooo, ooo!" said Sheen, going to the front of the classroom. "I will! I will!"
He takes out a box that contained a new Ultralord toy and cries "This is Ultralord!"
"Sheen," said Ms. Fowl. "This is the seventh week in a row you've shown Ultralord in class!"
"Seven weeks?!" said Ariana.
"Ms. Fowl…" said Sheen. "Why this one is a different version! This "Purple Vengeance" model with power fists and nuclear knees is a rare, never-been-seen condition, making it highly collectable!"
"Is that all he talks about?" Ariana asked.
"Pretty much," said Jimmy. "He LOVES Ultralord very, very much."
"Who's next?" asked Ms. Fowl.
"I'll go, Ms. Fowl," said Carl, going up to the front while taking out his inhaler since he has asthma. "This is my inhaler. It provides fast-acting relief of bronchial swelling due to asthma or allergies."
After Carl, Nick Dean, the most popular boy in school came into the classroom.
"It's Nick!" said Cindy.
"Hey guys," said Nick.
All of the girls except Ariana sighed happily as they saw him.
"Ehhhh…" said Ariana, with a cringed look on her face.
"Do you have a show and tell for us, Nick?" asked Ms. Fowl.
"I don't really do show and tell," said Nick.
"Oh yeah, that's right," said Ms. Fowl. "Thank you, Nick."
"Can I do my show and tell, please?" asked Ariana, raising her hand.
"Sure Miss Atoms," said Ms. Fowl. "Show and tell us what you have."
"Yes Ms. Fowl," said Ariana, going to the front of the classroom.
"Are you going to talk about the Pythagorean Theorem again?" asked Cindy.
"Not this time," said Ariana, taking out a drawing. "My fellow classmates. This is a picture I drew a few days ago on the first day I moved to Retroville."
She points to the picture and says, "See? It's our school with me and my new friends standing outside in front of it. What do you think?"
The class nodded their heads and said good comments about the drawing.
"Very nice, Ariana," said Ms. Fowl. "You must like living here with us."
"I do very much, Ms. Fowl," said Ariana. "Especially since I've made friends with a boy genius who is here in the classroom right now."
Jimmy smiled.
"Speaking of Jimmy," said Ms. Fowl, then saying to Jimmy, "Jimmy…We eagerly await another one of your interesting "show and tells"."
"Today I brought my latest invention," said Jimmy, taking out a remote. "Behold…The Shrink Ray!"
"What's the matter, Neutron?" said Cindy. "Aren't you already short enough?"
"Don't make fun of him!" said Ariana.
"Cindy, Cindy, Cindy," said Jimmy. "This device is made to shrink something as fast as space itself. Like for example, let's say…your mouth."
He points the Shrink Ray at Cindy and set the remote onto "Ant Size". But the Shrink Ray made a short circuit and the class started to laugh at him.
"Help me! Help me!" said Cindy, teasing Jimmy. "I'm so tiny! Just like Jimmy's brain!"
"That's enough!" said Ms. Fowl, squawking.
The bell rang.
"Hey, class is over!" said a girl named Brittany.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!" said the kids, running out of the classroom.
"I don't get it," said Jimmy, slowly walking out with a sad face. "It worked this morning."
"I liked your invention, Jimmy," said Ariana. "I always like your inventions. They're very cool."
"Thanks Ariana," said Jimmy. "It probably has an error. I'll try to fix it when I get home."
The Shrink Ray somehow started working again. It zapped Ms. Fowl as it shrunk her to the size of an ant. Suddenly, a green worm came out of a red delicious apple on the desk as it started to growl at Ms. Fowl.
"Yiiiiiiiiikes!" said Ms. Fowl, picking up a pencil and pointing it at the worm. "Get back! Back up! Back it up!"
