Chapter 6: Subjects Divided

Note: This chapter may contain a fast change of scene. This is as to the reason that the story should concentrate on both teams. Still, this chapter would be a good one. Enjoy!

Tommy felt miserable. He crumpled the paper and the envelope, and threw it in the trashcan. When he threw the envelope, something alarmed Tommy's eyes. Inside the CLEAN trashcan were two envelopes. "Guys, I'm right. It was not the circus. It is here. I have found it!" Tommy shouted with glee.

Everybody ran towards Tommy. They all read the second clue, "SECOND CLUE: MOTHER, MOTHER, I AM SICK. CALL THE DOCTOR VERY QUICK. SORRY, I'M NOT THE DOCTOR, BUT I AM HIS ASSISTANT. I CAN HELP YOU."

The next clue eased the RUGRATS, because the clue was very easy. "Obviously, this clue points out to our school nurse! The nurse is the assistant of the doctor—everybody knows that." Chuckie said. He added, "This time, I hope I am right..."

"Well, what does everybody think to my brother's idea?" Kimy asked.

"We agree with Chuckie!" Everybody yelled with elation.

So, the RUGRATS roamed the school to find the school nurse, Ms. Lopez. Unquestionably, they would first head at the school clinic.

Meanwhile, the WINDS are inside the circus hut. They searched for the clue in every side and in every corner. The circus is very big. It took them for a long time to search for something which is not even there at all. "Hey WINDS, come here!" Sid said calling all his group members, "Do you think we should go back at the school campus? I think the clue is just in our school. We shouldn't have trusted Angelica."

"I think so. Come on! Let's not waste time. Let's go back and try to break the first clue while on our way." Jonas said.

The person holding the envelope while they were running is Peter, an intelligent student but with a bad attitude. "Guys, I think I know where this clue leads... It's the school canteen. Now, let's run faster to be able to catch up with the RUGRATS."

Everybody followed what Peter said. Everybody was gritty to win, and be able to represent the sixth graders.

The winds entered the canteen and searched everywhere hoping to find a clue, but no one did. They got depressed and mad. "Where the heck is that stupid clue?!" Sid said.

With loss of hope, the WINDS sat down on the tables to rest themselves. "Peter!" Sid called, "Are you sure that it is the canteen?"

"Yes, I am. I'm about 98 percent sure of it." Peter answered somewhat frightened.

"What happened to the other two percent?"

"Well, this one. We can't find it. We can't find the clue!"

Everybody lost hope, hoping that a miracle would happen, and that they would see the envelope.

Meanwhile, the RUGRATS have reached Ms. Lopez. "Hello Ms. Lopez, good morning! We bet you have something for us..."

"Yes I do." Ms. Lopez said. She handed the next clue to the RUGRATS.

"THIRD CLUE: GO AND MEET MR. BUBBLES, YOUR P.E. TEACHER AT THE PLAYGROUND, AND ASK HIM WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. PRESENT HIM THIS CLUE."

The clue was simple. Each and every word was easily understood. They all ran fast towards the playground.

By now the WINDS are still in despair. "We should not give up. Are you guys willing to lose against those 'bunch of weenies'?" Jonas said.

Every body was a bit enlightened. They don't want to lose. Again they stood up and find the clue. After a few seconds, Sid found the clue on the trash can.

Everybody had the idea that the clue was pointing out to the school nurse. After they have found out that it was the school nurse, they headed straight at the school clinic to find her.

The RUGRATS however found Mr. Bubbles. They presented him the clue. "Ok, now what you have to do is run through this obstacle I have made. First you have to climb this wall; next slide your way down; next run through those tires; next crawl to that muddy path. And get the flag in the end of this obstacle. The clue is written on that flag. Do you have any questions?"

The RUGRATS looked at each other, "No, we don't!"

"If there are no questions... Go!"

The RUGRATS all together made their way to the obstacle course. Lil had a hard time climbing the wooden wall, but Phil helped him to make it. Kimy tripped when she ran her way through the tires, but Chuckie was there to pick her up.

Everybody reached the finish line and grabbed the last clue. "LAST CLUE: GO TO MS. PECKY. PRESENT THIS CLUE AND TELL HER, 'WE ARE HERE TO RECEIVE YOUR ASSURANCE OF US, BEING THE WINNER OF THE SECOND PART!'"

So, the RUGRATS ran inside the classroom. They were very happy and excited knowing that they would beat the WINDS and would be able to still have the chance to be the over all winner.

The WINDS went to Ms. Lopez, "Hi Ms. Lopez. Do you have the clue?"

"Yes I have the clue------"

"PRRROOOOOTTT!!!!" The whistle was blown. When the WINDS heard the whistle they began to feel sad. They ran inside the classroom to see if the RUGRATS have won the second part. When they reached the classroom, the RUGRATS was there jumping for joy.

"Ok class. We have a tie. So tomorrow, prepare for a tie-breaking question. Read books later, who knows: What if the book you will read later will be my question tomorrow? So, let's call this a day. Good luck to all of you tomorrow!" Ms. Pecky said.

Ms. Pecky left the room. "We told you we will win today. Now, let's see who would win tomorrow." Phil said to Sid.

"I am a hundred and one percent sure that we would win tomorrow!"

"Well, let's wait and see..."

Everybody left the room to go home. The RUGRATS planned of going to Tommy's house and read as many books as they can. They were all happy. "Can you believe it?" Chuckie asked.

"No. I really thought that we would lose. But I am so happy for what have happened!" Lil said.

"Now, all we have to do is study all the possible questions Ms. Pecky could ask. By this, we can be sure of our victory for tomorrow." Tommy said.

"Now, let us divide the subjects with what one has to concentrate." Phil suggested.

"Ok." Tommy said. "Since I am good in mathematics, I would study math. Kimy, you study science. Lil, you study English Composition. Phil you study Music and Arts. Chuckie, you study Religion..."

"Ok. By now, I think that we would win, only if everybody would cooperate and study." Kimy said.

Everybody shouted together with enthusiasm, "WE CAN DO IT!"
