Chapter Eight: Allons-y Day
Cassie's Torchwood Junior was a great success. The kids all loved the idea of doing "real science-y stuff" as they called it. Cassie had named the science-y stuff "Operation TARDIS."
Today was going to be Allons-y Day, as Cassie had dubbed it. In other words, Operation TARDIS was going into effect today, and Cassie, as expected, was basically ecstatic.
"Okay, you guys," said Cassie to her group. "Today is Allons-y Day, the day we've all been waiting for. We can do it. You all know your jobs and what we're doing. Launch starts in one hour exactly. But first… a quick celebratory lunch because we've worked our butts off the past summer and we deserve a party."
"Yeah!" cheered the kids.
"And also, we need to test the Atmospheric Exciter I invented, as well as the Insta-Clean…. so howsabout a quick mudrope game?"
The kids all laughed. They hadn't played mud rope in forever because of all their work. "Number check!" Cassie called.
"One! Two! Three!" and so on…
"Okay. Launch in twenty seconds, everyone! Everyone to their places. Tony, monitor the base and report to me. I'm going out to the arrival pad." She pulled her prototype sonic screwdriver out and pushed the button, teleporting away.
"Okay, team! Countdown!" Tony was so excited for his sister. Cassie was so clever and so deserving of this. "Five! Four! Three! Two! One! ALLONS-Y!" He laughed at his use of "The Phrase" as Cassie had called it.
Rose looked out the window at her daughter, giving commands through an earpiece, and she watched and waited.
Five minutes later, there was a whooshing sound… and there it was. The box. The blue box.
Cassie had done it.
Hey y'alls! Decided to split the chapter into two. Posting chapter 9 right now :D
