A.N.- Okay here's chapter 9. I have Trixy spell something out in this one, see if you can see what. LOL Enjoy!
Chapter 9: The Alphabet
(Kowalski's POV)
Day 11
Let's see…Oh! So that's what went wrong. I connected the red wire to the blue instead of the other red one. Whoops. I was spending what time of the day I could to completely fix my Love-U-Laser, mostly because Doris would be in the area again in a few days (according to my calculations). There. It's done. I stand up and look around. No one else was in the HQ because they had all gone out for snow cones. I walk out of the HQ and sit outside, waiting for them to bring me mine.
(Nobody's POV)
Day 12
Trixy and Private are sitting over in Trixy's habitat; Trixy was teaching Private to read. "Okay, show me the lettah L. No, Private. That's I, not L. No, that's T. This is L." Trixy points at a letter on a piece of paper.
"Oh. Can you go ovah them all again, please?"
"Sure." Trixy then points at each letter in the alphabet and says its name. "Okay, now which is K?" Private points at a letter.
"This one?"
"Very good. Okay, now show me I." Again he points at a letter. "Okay, now show me an S."
"Um, it's the one that looks like Savio, right?"
"Yes, I think. Is Savio a snake?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Now show me S."
"We already did that one."
"Oh, we have, haven't we…Okay show me M." Private points at the one that looks like a mountain. "Alright, show me an E." Private gets the next one correct too. "Good job. Now, what is this lettah called?" I point at a 'random' letter.
"Umm, A?"
"Good, job. And this one?"
"L."
"This one?"
"R."
"Okay, now this one?"
"That's E. We've already did that one."
"This?"
"That's A. You've already quizzed me on that one."
"Oh, well. What lettah is this?"
"D. I think."
"Good, and lastly, this one?"
"Y."
"Good, very good. I think that's enough of the alphabet for the day."
"Okay. Do you know what my favorite lettah is?"
"What?"
"A."
"Why's that?"
"It looks like two penguins dancing." Trixy smiles; he could be so naïve sometimes.
"It does look a little a bit like that, doesn't it? Oh, well, what should we do now?"
"I don't know. What do you want to do?"
"Hmm, we could…um, we could go see if Kowalski has any inventions to be tested."
"Didn't we test enough when we tested that Love-U-Laser of his?"
"I don't know. I'm bored; I'm tired of doing absolutely nothing. I want to do something dangerous."
"Trixy. We've talked about this; you can't just jump into danger when evah you feel like it. Because that's dangerous."
"Exactly. So, let's go exploring. Or….or…hmm, *sigh*, you're right. Let's not."
"O-kay?"
"Oh! I know what we could do! I heard that there was a dance competition coming up. You know the one here at the zoo?"
"Yes, there is one. But it's mostly Kowalski against Julian. There's othah entries, too, though."
"Well, then let's enter! We could do a duet. It would be soooo much fun!"
"I don't know…." Trixy gives Private the puppy-dog eyes. "Awww, no, not that face…fine, let's enter."
"YAY! Okay, I'll find us the perfect dance and music." Trixy runs over to her IPod and starts flipping through songs.
"I'm doomed." Private thinks to himself.
