The next day, once Mr. Beckwith had looked through the pictures Dr. Doppler had taken, he said. "Well, you may be right about one thing, Shanti. It was risky to pull this off. But, I'm proud of all of you for helping Nathan and getting along with each other. A+ all around!"
The class and Imaginaries clapped and cheered as Jane, Mowgli, Shanti and I smiled at each other.
"Hold your applause, folks." Mike said, walking to the front of the room with Sulley. "This is nothing compared to what we have to announce."
"We've just sent the pictures to the guys at Monsters, Inc." said Sulley. "And they were so impressed with our results..."
"...that they agreed to pitch in and bring Nathan's drawing to life in the style of the Great Bear Lodge!" exclaimed Mike.
The 5th Grade class and Imaginaries clapped and cheered some more as Mr. Beckwith said. "That's wonderful news."
"The only downer is we can't do it around Nathan's house." said Mike. "But I promise you that this will be far more bigger than what we did in the backyard. Once Christmas break has ended, we start construction on the most colassal playground this school has even seen!"
My class and the Imaginaries cheered, but I didn't join in, for I knew that if I'm going to middle school, I'll miss the completion of that project.
As Mowgli, Shanti and Jane comforted me, Mr. Krabs walked over to Mike, saying. "Hold on there, bright eye. If you're still planning on using me money on this, you're out of your league, Wazowski."
"OK, fine, Mr. Moneybags." said Mike. "We'll find someone else who'll be more than willing to pay for the expenses."
Little did we all know that Amelia and Mr. Arrow were listening through the open window outside Room 29, which they quietly left.
On their way back to the main office, Mr. Arrow said to Amelia. "Uh, Captain, while I understand how you feel about this, especially when young Nathan hasn't left us a response whether he agrees to be king or not, I also can't help but think that what they were saying back there has...enormous potential. And since Mr. Krabs is too stingy to pay the cost, perhaps you could..."
"Mr. Arrow, please!" Amelia snapped, interrupting him. "We have enough problems to worry about. This is not the time to turn our focus into some...construction..."
Stopping herself once they went inside, Amelia and Mr. Arrow saw the doctors leaving Kira's darkend office, closing the door on their way out.
On seeing the sad look on Kira's face, Amelia's eyes widen, realizing what happened to King Goobot.
Mr. Arrow hurried to the microphone, calling through the speakers. "Attention, Foster City School! Everyone must report for another assembly following recess!"
While peeking inside the office unnoticed, Milady's falcon smiled devilsihly to himself.
