Hey Guys!

Sorry for the delay. Yes you know, routine activities in a typical day while I run it now. Many school assignments pile up, exam, practice, well... all sorts that kept me busy. But, never mind... You guys here want to read a story and not about me.

All right, go directly to the story. Happy reading.

Chapter 8: It's Just Gravity

"All right, you two!" Martha said, "You have to explain this, now!" Apparently, she looked confused and panicked.

"Calm down, Martha." Jewel tried to calm her. Then she glanced at Blu, "Blu, please explain to us, what happened? How do you explain that?" Jewel pointed to the ground which formed a small crater, where Blu and Jewel landed.

"I told you... It's just gravity." Blu said calmly, "We can do incredible things, because of gravity."

"I do not understand what you're saying?" Jewel mutter confused.

"Okay." Blu said while holding his chin, "So... you know gravity, right?" Jewel and Martha nodded, "Good, because I'm going to start explaining to practice it beforehand." Then, he saw a large boulder on the river edge, "Martha, do you see a big stone over there?" He pointed toward the rocks.

"Yes. Why?" Martha replied with a confused, staring at the large rock in the river.

"Would you took away the stone for me, please." Blu said.

"What!" Martha was surprised, "How could I lift a stone!"

"It is okay. This is just to conclude." Blu replied calmly.

"Okay." Martha said uncertainly. Then, she walked towards the rock and lifted mightily. She pulled out all her strength, but to no avail. The stone did not move and made Martha gave up, "I told you, it is impossible to lift this big rock." Then she glanced at Blu, "What's next, Blu?"

"All right," Blu said, and then he glanced at Jewel, "Jewel, now it's your turn to lift the large stone." Just like Martha, Jewel also surprised, "I told you to conclude."

"Okay." Jewel said uncertainly. She walked over to the rock with Martha at her side, "Okay." Jewel holding the stone. Although her wings are not wide enough and unable to embrace the rock. And then, She picked it up. At that moment, a strange thing happens again. Jewel lift the large stone with a very easy and the stone was lifted in the air. She was surprised to suddenly dropped a the large stone, and causes earthquakes on the ground. Blu just smiled.

"Jewel..." Martha said as she gasped, "You did it. What actually happened? "Jewel just stopped and looked at her two wings.

Blu approached them, "I told you. This is just gravity. "

"Gravity?" Jewel and Martha said in unison.

"Yes, right. Gravity." Blu then look toward the star called Crystalix, almost set on the western horizon,"I'll explain while walking home, because it's like... it's almost night."

The circumstances surrounding it was getting dark and the only orange light is still shining. They stood under the railway bridge, and at that time there was only the noise of the passing train. They quickly walked back through the deserted streets of the residential complex. However, some of the birds seen walking home.

"You're going to explain it now, are not you?" Martha said.

"Okay." Blu replied calmly. Then, he saw the sky, "In accordance with my conjecture. This planet has a low-gravity. "

"What do you mean, Blu?" Jewel said, puzzled.

"You remember, when Martha was not able to lift a large stone, but you are able, Jewel." Jewel nodded, "This happened not because Martha is weak, or we are strong. But because of gravity." Jewel and Martha listen carefully,"The stone that if likened to being on earth, probably the rock's weight can reach tens of tons, but if gravity is low. For us, it's just a stone weighing a few grams. Our muscles are accustomed to gravity on Earth, in contrast to Martha's muscles, and all the creatures on this planet. That is why Martha was not able to lift the stone. In a way, we are the strongest bird on this planet."

Jewel and Martha was surprised and looked at each other, "It's okay..." Martha said while smile, "I'll keep this secret." It seems, Martha begin to understand. And it makes Blu and Jewel can breathe with relief.

"Yes... With this power, perhaps we can protect this planet." Jewel said, while smile.

Blu chuckled, "You're right, because this planet is our home now."

"Oh yeah? Really?" Martha said with a quipped. Then, they are laughing together while walking home.
