The thing sat there never ending. Clack, clack, clack. The ball kept at either end kept being lifted and falling back down, but at alternative times. But it did keep in time with the clock she owned.
The object sat on mystic Maya's desk. Every so often pearls would check on the object to see it its relentless clacking had stopped. Unfortunately it had not.
Mystic Maya had been out for the day with her special someone and that someone had got her the thing as a present. Ever since then Maya had put the object on a desk, ever since then it had been clacking, ever since then pearl had been checking on it every two hours.
During the night pearl couldn't sleep. Or if she did sleep, it would not last long. One night pearl woke up. There was not a sound, apart from the clacking.
Pearl got up to check on the object, just to check that the object was still clacking, and that the sound was not apart of her imagination. Once she got to where the object was, she found it almost mesmerising. Not realising that she was the only one awake, someone crept up behind her.
'Boo!'
The person behind pearls grabbed the young girl.
'Ahh-'
The stranger covered pearls mouth and was trying to stifle a laugh. Pearl slowly turned around to see that the stranger was in fact Maya. The hand covering pearls mouth dropped as Maya was struggling not to laugh. Out of annoyance pearls decided to help Maya by hitting her repeatedly.
'Ha. Ow. Ha. That. Ha. Hurts! Fine, fine I'm calm now.'
Maya grinned at the girl. Pearl scowled at her, but turned to look at the strange object.
'What is that?'
'Oh that was some cool thing Nick bought me! As some isn't it? Its called newtons cradle, dunno why. Probably some guy called newton made it, or decided to get the claim for it.'
Pearl was fascinated by this cradle.
'Mystic Maya! We should call it Nick's cradle! Seeing as he's the special someone who got it you!'
Pearl stood there blushing. Maya already knew that when it came to pearls anything could be a lost cause, so she agreed with her and decided to call it nicks cradle.
A light came on in the room next to theirs.
'Who's out there? Anyone caught awake will be severely punished.'
Maya grabbed pearl's arm.
'Common can't get caught for the third time this week can we?'
Maya winked at pearl. Pearl had no idea what Maya was on about. She hasn't been caught for staying up, so what was Maya on about?
If you don't know what a newtons cradle is then look it up. They are pretty cool!
Please review and suggest some things that pearl has never seen before!
