This is the continuation of Secret Scientists. Where the scientists are testing Yin on what she knows. When we left off last chapter, Drew was thinking how she doesn't approve of the test, but she knows that Yin will ace it. Ok, I do not own the Secret Saturdays, but I do own my OC's.
I Have to Take a Test!?
Drew's POV
"So, we're really going to make Yin take a test. Just because she's a kid?" me
"Yeah, but it's not just because she's a kid Drew." Miranda
"Really? Then why is she taking these tests? None of us had to take tests to become a secret scientist." me
"Ok, so yeah, it is about the fact that she's a kid. I mean, how old is she anyway? 14?" Beeman
"She's 15, almost 16." me
"I'm sorry Drew, but in order to become a secret scientist, she has to take this test." Cheechoo
"Ok. So…who wants to be the one to tell her that?" me
"I guess I will." Miranda
"Thank you Miranda." Drew
Yin's POV
"And that's how the meeting went Zak. For the third time. You know, it's not that interesting of a story." me
"Yeah, I know, but I just like the part where you won the fight with Beeman." Zak
"You don't like Beeman much, do you?" me
"Correct." Zak
"The only problem with winning the fight, there's gonna be another sooner or later." me.
Miranda walked into the room. I wonder what she wants…
"That is true. You can't antagonize Author and get away with it. Although, I am on your side of the fight. He had no right to embarrass you, and quite frankly, I'm sorry for laughing when he did." Miranda
"Oh. Um, that's ok. I don't care if you laughed. Um, what do you want though?" me
"Oh, yes. I'm sorry about this, but some of the scientists thought you should have to take a test to become a secret scientist. Drew, Doc, and I disagreed, but we lost." Miranda
"What that's not fair! She shouldn't have to take a test!! None of you guys had to take a test!" Zak
"Zak, it's ok. I'm sure I'll do just fine. So, what is this test anyway?" me
"They're two parts to it. A written part and a combat testing part." Miranda
"Go on…" me
"So, the written part is like a SAT, which I'm sure you've taken already." Miranda
"Wait, you know I already graduated from high school?" me
"And college. With 38 degrees." Miranda
"Oh, sorry for interrupting. Go on…" me
"Oh, so it's all about science obviously. Then the combat part is basically all of us, fighting you. Beeman planned it. He wants to make sure you don't become a secret scientist." Miranda
"What is with that guy!?" me
"You want the truth? He feels intimidated by you. He thinks you'll just take his place with your mythology expertise. I mean, he knows some mythology, mostly UFO's, but you're an expert on myths. He's just worried you'll take his place." Miranda
"Really!? Beeman's…deeper than I thought…" me
"Yeah, he is. Oh, well, let me go on. In the combat part, all of us are going to be fighting you. You have to get to a tree, and then you win. It's basically a free for all. No rules, well, except the fact that no one can kill or seriously injure the others. It's in the woods, which Beeman knows back and forth. I'm giving you this map to study though, so maybe you'll have a better chance. These are the places where you can't get through, well unless you could bend the trees somehow. This is the lake, the trees, and this is the tree that you have to touch to complete the test. Memorize this, and you'll have a good chance of winning.
They're only 5 scientists who are actually participating. Doc, Drew, Author, Paul, and me. Right now though, is the written part. Don't worry, you'll ace it easily. Come with me please." Miranda
"Bye Zak." me
"Good luck Yin. You're gonna need it." Zak
"Thanks Zak. You too Miranda. Thanks for this." me
"Don't mention it. I mean that literally too." Miranda
So, Miranda and I walked into the meeting room, and I sat down in a chair. Then, Miranda gave me the test. It felt just like school all over again. Except, these people aren't my teachers, they might even be my friends one day. Kind of an awkward start to a friendship.
So, I took the test. It was all about basic science, and the type of science that all these people studied, but was mainly common sense, well at least for me. It took me an hour to finish.
After I finished, everyone got on their fancy air-ships and headed to the woods. I didn't want to have to fight everyone, but I guess I didn't actually have a choice. But, then again, no one ever asked me if I wanted to be a secret scientist. Doc and Drew just kinda decided it. Oh well, it's fine with me. I guess…
So we got to the woods, and right away, Zak fell down a hill. Doc and Drew didn't want him to come, but he insisted. Poor Zak. He just got out of the airship and he already fell down a hill. He's usually not that clumsy though. Maybe it's just bad dumb luck.
So, we all got out of the airships, and Drew explained the rules to me. Basically everything that Miranda said, only she didn't tell about all the cheats that Miranda explained to me. Drew told me that I had to get to the tree to pass the test and that no killing or serious injury is allowed.
And the test is started! I had one minute to run before any of them were allowed to chase me. I have no clue where Zak went. His parents probably thought that this is too dangerous for him, which it is.
I ran, and ran, and ran. I think I'm lost now though. Good think I have the map that Miranda gave me. I looked at the map for about a minute before realizing that I'm near the lake that Miranda mentioned. Good, I'm halfway to the tree. No one has attacked me yet though. Strange.
Oh great. I jinxed myself. Right as I thought that, Beeman drove his airship towards me. I ran toward the lake, and forgot to stop running. I fell right into the lake. Beeman started cracking up. I gotta admit that it is pretty funny though. I won't let Beeman know that, but I'll tell Zak that later when I tell him about this combat whatever it is.
So I started climbing out of the lake, and realized that I can use this. I'm a water bender next to a lake! Yes! I started bending the water, and Beeman got a really worried look on his face. I took out his airship in one blow, which clearly shocked him. I laughed for a couple seconds, and then started running toward the tree.
I looked on my GPS locater to see that there were no scientists near this area. Well, besides Beeman, but he wasn't really a threat right now. Oh, and yeah, I brought a GPS locater into a combat training course. Yeah, I'm a huge cheater…
I ran for about a half hour, occasionally looking at the locater to make sure no one was following me. I finally got to the tree though. The only person I had to face was Beeman. Cool…it was a very easy test after all.
I was met at the tree by Doc, Drew, Miranda, Cheechoo, and Zak.
"Oh my god! You have to tell me about what just happened! Where's Beeman? And…why are you soaking wet?" Zak
"Oh, let's just say that Beeman learned I was a water bender the hard way…" me
"He is ok though. Right?" Drew
"Yeah, he should be along any second now." me
"Yin! Why didn't you tell me you're a water bender!? Why did you crash my ship!? Why…" Beeman
"Why are you asking so many questions Pinky!?" me
"Why do you call me Pinky anyway!?" Beeman
"There you go with the questions again! But, have you seen your glasses lately!?" me
"Yes, they're right on my face…where else would they be?" Beeman
Everyone that was there just burst out in laughter. Wow, for a secret scientist, he's not all that bright. Well, at least not when he's mad. I can use that against him…
"Wow. Just wow." me
"What!? Oh…that's what you meant with the glasses thing." Beeman
"Yeah Pinky, yeah. So, what did I get on the test thing?" me
"Well, this part you got a hundred because the only goal was to get to the tree, which you did, even though you're soaking wet… and on the written part, you got a hundred also. Basically, welcome to the secret scientists!" Miranda
Cool, I'm a secret scientist. Well actually, it sounds really dorky, but oh well. I wonder how things will work out with Beeman and I though. I just can't get that thought out of my mind. I don't want to cause any trouble, but I'm not sure I have that much of a choice… I just hope things go alright…
Author's Note
So Yay! Yin is a secret scientist! But, how will things work out with Beeman? What will come next? Will I keep asking you questions that you don't know the answers to, but I do? Maybe…
