I forgot to tell you what Gizmo was dressed up in for the Circus. She's wearing a gold leotard, gold flats, and a gold bow on her helmet, and everything is sparkly (her outfit that is).
And sorry HBee16. Gizmo handed me the wrong name letter. And you can still have your prize if you tell me the name, description of the character (that also means clothes), and personality. And that goes for you too StarFire16 and anyone else who would like to be in my story. First six reviewers with the correct information will be the ones in the story, starting next chapter.
Chapter Fourteen
Circus of Memphis pt 2
The HyperForce had dragged the MegaForce, except for Gizmo and Otto, out of the showing and into the hall so they could talk.
"Why is Otto up there?" Chiro asked.
The HyperForce was in a panic.
"Don't worry." Elella said.
"Will you quit saying that?" Nova shouted.
"Nova, for once Elella is right."
"Watch it Know-it-all!" Elella shouted.
Then the two of them started arguing. Melodie pulled them part from each other.
"Seala, Elella. Stop this."
"Sorry Melodie." The two apologized.
"So why shouldn't we worry when Otto is about hundred feet in the air above dangerously sharp knives?" Gibson asked.
"Because Gizmo is really talented. And everytime Gizmo gets up there on that tight-rope, she never falls or drops the one that's picked from the crowd." Seala explained.
"And she wouldn't dream of dropping her little love monkey, Otto." Elella said, which got followed by a slap upside the head. "OW! Blaze!"
"Blaze is right. Don't make fun of them, Elella. I think Otto and Gizmo are kind of cute together." Nova said.
"Well, now that you've pulled us out of the showing we have to watch it from out here. Thanks HyperForce." Carbon said dramatically.
"It's alright. Gizmo will understand." Melodie said.
"Oh alright."
Up on the tight-rope…
"Wow! We're high up!" Then Otto looked down and saw the knives being put into place. "Hey Gizmo! What's with the knives?" Otto shouted across the way.
"It's part of the act! Don't worry! You'll be fine!" Gizmo shouted back.
"Alright! Ladies and Gents! Now we're all set! As you can see, there is no net, no strings attached to the two above and nothing between the rope and the ground but the knives! Gizmo the Master of Balance and her picked-from-the-audience partner, Otto!" The ring-master shouted.
He disappeared back stage and then music played. It was "Circus" By (I know you all are going to hate me but…) Brittany Spears. That's when Gizmo started her act. She tip-toed ran to the middle of the tight-rope, doing a front flip and landing, perfectly, on her hands with her feet straight up in the air. After a moment, Gizmo widened them so she was doing a air-borne split.
Outside…
"Whoa!" that was the only thing the HyperForce could say.
"Yep! And just wait." Blaze said.
On the T.V screen, Gizmo put her feet back up in the air and had disappeared, or so the crowd thought. She had really gotten on a trapeze pole so fast no one saw it coming. Otto was just standing there when Gizmo swung back and grabbed Otto by the hands and swung back out, stopping in the middle of the arena.
Back on the tight-rope…
"AH! Gizmo! Put me down!" Otto was freaking out.
"Calm down. I won't drop you. You trust me right?"
Otto calmed down.
"Yeah, but it wasn't you I was worried about. It was the knives."
"We're to high up for them to touch you."
Then Gizmo realized that they hadn't moved for some time. She looked at the crowd and blushed.
"Euh ... nous ferions mieux de la présente loi sur ou avec nous ont une émeute sur nos mains."
"What?"
"Oops, sorry. I said, 'We better get this act on with or we're have a riot on our hands'."
Otto looked at the crowd too.
"You're right. Let's do this."
"Alright!" Gizmo shouted to the back stage crew to restart the music.
Gizmo tossed Otto in the air so he would do a summer-salt. While she jumped onto the bar of the trapeze and stood there on her tiptoes and jumped onto the tight-rope while catching Otto in the process.
"Whoa. You caught me."
"What? You think I'd let you fall?"
"No. That's not what I meant. I mean…um…"
"I was only joking Otto."
"Oh."
"Hey. You're on the tight-rope, and you're standing by yourself."
"What?" Otto looked down and screamed. He lost his balance.
"I got ya." Gizmo said in an attempt to grab Otto but failed. "Otto!"
Gizmo grabbed the tight-rope and cut it with one of her saws. It swung down and she caught Otto right before he hit the knives.
"AH! Gizmo! I thought you said-"
"Je sais ce que j'ai dit! I know what I said!"
After the crew got the knives out of the way, Gizmo and Otto climbed down. There was no one in the seating anymore. The crew made sure the two were alright when the teams ran in.
"GIZMO!" The MegaForce shouted, but the HyperForce shouted "OTTO!"
"I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry. If it wasn't for Gizmo-"
"Gizmo? It was Gizmo who made you fall in the first place." Nova shouted.
"What? No, no. Nova-"
"No Otto. She's right." Gizmo said.
"What? Gizmo? No. No, no, no. It wasn't your fault." Otto said grabbing Gizmo's hand in both of his.
"No, it was. And that's why…I think…we shouldn't see each other again." Gizmo said pulling her hand away.
"Gizmo, no. I'm alright. Look. I'm better than ever. Don't worry about it. One time deal, really. I know it was a one time deal. Come on."
"No Otto. Please. I'm to dangerous. I shouldn't etre autour de vous. I'm *sobs* sorry." Gizmo started crying and ran out of the tent to back stage.
Otto wanted to run after her but he couldn't move his legs.
I know, I know! Again with the break-up with Gizmo and Otto! Well, at least this one isn't over Otto kissing an "ugly weasel," as one of the reviews put it. AND I AGREE 100% ABOUT MANDRA AND MANDARIN BEING UGLY WEASELS! I'm still thinking about Gizmo and Otto getting back together this story or the next, or never. BTW: Mandra and Mandarin are no longer in camp until the end of the story. Maybe. Still thinking about.
So here's my question:
I am red, gold, and sometime black, and an old symbol. What and where am I?
No prize for this one, just want an answer. Thanks!
