We continued our testing, with more basic maneuvers. We did tail spins, Decent, accent and well, stuff I made up. Finally we graduated from basic maneuvers, and on to advanced. The first test was the "three curve." It was used for going around two objects. It was rather obvious the two objects go in the curves.
I curved the chopper around two trees. It was an absolute success. I looked to Spyro and he smiled at us. Next was the wall tap. Note: this is only for masters…. Like yours truly. The wall tap is where you tap a wall, building or any other object with the landing gear. This requires speed and accuracy. I found the "tap receiver;" the tower.
I aligned the nose with the tower.
"DT, you're not doing the wall-tap are you?" John asked.
"Shh…. No talk, I need focus."
I pushed the control stick forward, and the chopper followed my order. We accelerated toward the tower. Then quickly, I pulled the stick back. The science behind it is momentum from the forward motion, when I pull back the forward motion continues even if I pull back. Then it slows down slow enough until I can "tap" the wall.
After I did that I leveled it out. I smiled and looked towards Spyro. He looked astonished. I chuckled as I pulled away. I decided to circle around the field.
"DT, can we land soon?"
"What?" I asked, pulled from the view.
"I'm tired."
I mumbled under my breath. I turned the chopper towards the landing.
While I did this, Volteer walked up the stairs. He saw our door wide open. He chuckled and turned towards Spyro's room.
"Spyro, Cynder! It lunch time."
There was no answer to the door. Volteer waited for a moment.
"Spyro? Cynder?"
He opened the door and stepped inside. He looked around and saw nothing. Well, almost he did notice Spyro's covers were rising and falling. He approached the bed and saw Cynder.
"Gone to bed early?"
There was no answer. He looked down.
"What's that?" He thought.
He heard Cynder's stomach growl.
"Ah you're sick, young one."
Volteer thought about something for a moment.
"Wait how'd you get here? It takes a while to get here from Avalar…. Unless."
He heard whipping noises. He looked towards the window. Then, we flew by the window, blades spinning, and the sun glistening.
"…DT" He whispered.
"You have quite the friend." He whispered to snoring Cynder.
He decided just to leave Cynder alone. He tried to find Spyro outside. He found him lying in the grass. Volteer flew over to him.
"Spyro its time for lunch."
"I'll be over in a minute."
Suddenly our helicopter flew over.
"Prepare for landing." I said.
"Roger, DT." John acknowledged.
I touched down easily, without a jolt.
I hop out of the seat. As soon as I did, John and Steve congratulated me on our successful test flight. We walked on and emerged from the bushes. Volteer and Spyro ran up.
"DT, that was amazing." Spyro said
"You are quit the inventor." Volteer commented.
We walked side my side, talking about how I flew the chopper and other stuff. We finally came to the door and I opened it. I let the other's go in. We sat at the table as dinner was already served. We started eating but, before Spyro could take a bite, he worried about someone.
"What will Cynder eat?"
Volteer looked over to him.
"Spyro, its best that she doesn't eat."
Spyro nodded, knowing she'll have to go hungry.
"What about fish?" I asked.
"What?"
"Some fish contain enzymes that make it able to digest easily."
"So it won't make her sick?"
I nodded and continued eating. I really don't feel like talking about what we ate. It was weird….
Spyro was now in a hurry to clean his plate. He eventually got done. He walked outside and said he'll be back. I looked over to John. He just shrugged his shoulders. Witch was not very helpful. Steve was done and decided to head up stairs. John and I remained. Volteer was saying bye to us. He walked out the door, leaving us lonely… just kidding! Anyway, we finally finished and headed up stairs. We met Steve in the room. He sat on the bed looking outside. We joined him. Just staring into the distant mountains.
Spyro, however was hunting for fish. His place of choice was the nearby pond. He waited for a sign, a movement. He saw a shape. He got ready to pounce but… It was just the panel from the plane. Now it was covered in dirt, moss and algae. Spyro looked for any more shapes. He started to feel restless. Then, he notices a moving shape and goes for it. A loud splash could be heard. He pulled out a nice sized catch.
Afterwards, he found himself racing for the tower. We threw open the door and ran upstairs. He didn't bother to close it. He nearly fell on the stairs. Then, he was there, in front of his door. He opened it and crept inside. He walked up to the bed. His fish was now on the floor. He nudged Cynder with his shoulder.
"Cyn, wake up."
"Oh…." She groaned. "Who is it?"
"It's me, Spyro."
"Oh, hey honey."
"I brought you a fish."
"How sweet."
Spyro picked up the fish and handed it to Cynder. She slowly got to it.
She stopped for a moment.
"Try not to eat too fast."
Cynder nodded. Spyro began to rub her head, but he felt heat. He stopped rubbing and stood still.
"Cynder, you're hot."
"Aw…"
"You have a fever."
She chuckled nervously and continued to eat…. Very slowly. Eventually she finished. She was active for that moment. But, then it got worse the fever caught up to her. She was sweating rapidly. She laid back down.
"I feel worse."
"This is bad." Spyro thought, he did not want to scare Cynder. Spyro kissed her.
"It'll be ok."
Cynder smiled as much as she could.
