A month and a half later, the kids were preparing to leave Grandpa's. All four of them worked hard that summer. Rocky, Colt, and Tum Tum practiced their hearts out, while Robin started to catch up and learn the martial arts.

Now as she sat on her knees before Grandpa, Rocky, Colt, and Tum Tum, she felt proud of how far she went in the studies. Grandpa told her that another summer at that pace, and she was going to; be caught up with even Rocky.

"You fly in the world and sky, free as a bird," Grandpa said. It was true. Once Robin had learned basic acrobatics, she used them to the max.

"The name of Robin will always be yours," Tum Tum said.

"These clothes show you as a student of the martial arts," Rocky said. He handed Robin a pair of white karate work out pants, a purple karate wrap around tunic, and a face mask, one that looked of a bird. With a bow to each other, Rocky handed the outfit to Robin. She placed it on her lap.

"These clothes show that you are a defender of righteousness," Colt said. "You are only to use your knowledge to protect and defend." He handed a set of wrap around ninja robes with the cloth facemask. It was just like the boys' but was purple.

"Arrigato," Robin said. It was Japanese for thank you.

"You have done well," Grandpa said. "So how about a trip to the town to celebrate, we'll stay there and I'll send you on a plane tomorrow."

They were going by plane because, the boys' mom and dad couldn't pick them up there and their grandpa couldn't drive them because he had to meet with someone about his lease.

So all of them, with their packed bags, loaded into grandpa's car. They drove to the city and ate at a restaurant to celebrate. Then they rented a pair of connecting hotel rooms.

The next day, after the airplane ride, the four were on their way to the street where they were going to meet the cab home. Walking through the airport, in the middle of talking, someone came up behind Robin and threw a smoke pellet. Robin and the boys were in a coughing fit when that same person picked up Robin and ran off.

"Hey! Let me go!!" Robin cried.

"Rocky, they got Robin!" Colt yelled.

"Let's go!!" Tum Tum said. They took off running after Robin.

"Tum Tum, give me your Gobstoppers," Colt said.

"Why?" Tum Tum said. "OK." He handed the candy out of his bag to Colt, who threw it onto the floor around the guy that got Robin. The man stumbled on the hard candy and fell. Robin flew up and landed on her back. She popped up to see that the guy got away.

Rocky, Colt, and Tum Tum ran to her. "Are you OK?" Colt asked.

Robin looked at him. He sounded like he was really concerned. "I will be when they decide to leave me alone," she responded, taking his hand to help him up. Nobody said anything when she didn't let go.

"Let's get home," Rocky said. They climbed into the cab.
