Chapter 9 - Subsequent Problems
In the docks of Miami, Lance had his engines checked out, following his near-crash nosedive in the air a few days ago. Sheila was slightly concerned as she continued on doing her maintenance work...
"Lance, your engines is beginning to stall more frequently for the last 48 hours. Are you flying with your speed on the red line?" - Sheila asked -
"No, Sheila. I always fly at normal speeds. Like 100 to 125 knots at most." - Lance replied -
"Are you sure, Lance?" - Sheila asked -
"Yes, Sheila. I ain't kidding and i'm telling the real truth." - Lance replied -
Dipper then entered to the hangar...
"Hey, guys. How's the condition of Lance's engines?" - Dipper asked to Sheila -
"His engines began to stall more frequently, Lea but i already done the troubleshoot procedures." - Sheila replied -
Dipper was concerned by this. Her best friend is in the risks of dire consequences.
"Lance, can you do your career later on after this?" - Dipper asked, concerned -
"Yes, Lea but i'll be more careful with myself." - Lance replied -
Dipper could sigh with relief. Sheila approached her.
"Lea, do you have any more newspapers about Dusty Crophopper?" - Sheila asked -
"Not yet, Sheila but i'll buy some when i'm done with my cargo hauling chores." - Dipper replied -
"Thanks, Lea. We really need it much." - Sheila said -
Dipper then went outside.
Hours later, Dipper finally done her chores and she was given a break to rest by her superiors. She then looked for a kiosk to buy a newly updated newspaper. She finally found a kiosk but it was crowded with a lot of cars and other vehicles that were also buying for newspapers. Once she brought a newspaper, she was totally shocked by the newspaper's headlines...
"Dusty Crophopper crashed into the Pacific Ocean. Badly damaged but luckily rescued by emergency forces"
Dipper couldn't handle it much...
"What?! NO!" - Dipper screamed in her disbelief -
A few others followed her disbelief...
"Our greatest racer had crashed into the sea!"
"I can't dare to hear about this anymore!"
"Dusty, you must strive for all of us!"
"What the hell?! This is too outrageous for me!"
Dipper then returned to hangar in Miami.
Once Dipper returned and reported back about Dusty to her friends, her friends could barely believe it much...
"Ouch! This is severe!" - Lance said -
"Me too, Lance! If i were Dusty's apprentice, i could have been fainted already by that!" - Sheila added -
"It's quite extensive for all of us but don't worry about this. He will survive through and if it did, he will surely win that international racing contest." - Dipper reassured them -
Lance and Sheila let off steam before they calmed down...
"Well...Despite of that, let's do our chores today and forget this very surprising issue. He will surely strive indeed if i were you, guys." - Dipper added -
"Yeah. You're right, Lea. Thanks for assessing out our morale." - Sheila said -
"You do really have a golden tongue and golden mind to say that in order to convince us that any problem we have only hampered us slightly." - Lance added -
"Oh, come on. Don't make me shy, guys." - Dipper replied, smiling -
Lance and Sheila snickered along.
This is the end of Chapter 9. Stay tuned for the 10th Chapter, everyone!
