Chapter 10: electrical building

"Come on Alex!" Aqua said, as she shook my arm to get me up. I sleepily got up, remembering there was school again today. Aqua ran upstairs, and I got dressed and followed her. After eating, I noticed that Flame wasn't up. "Where's Flame?" I asked "he caught a cold and he's staying home today" mom said "ok" I said with a nod. After Daisy got her book bag ready, we went to the bus. Most of the kids were quiet like last time, and we got to school without anything significant happening. Today was technology, so we went there. We were put into pairs, and I was paired with Daisy. She was amazing with technology, and we ended up being the only one who had a working machine by lunch. While we were eating, a few girls came up to Daisy "wow, green hair only on the top?" one of them asked. Daisy stayed quiet "aww, the poor girls shy!" she said sarcastically. Instead of responding, Daisy zapped her with the machine. I looked at her in shock "she zapped me!" the girl said "don't play with electricity if you don't want to get shocked" Daisy said with a smirk "you don't know who you're messing with" the girl said "I don't really care, either" Daisy replied. I remembered the former pikmin didn't know about the social life in the human world, so Daisy didn't realize the girl in front of her was one of the popular ones. "Now if you'll excuse me, I want to keep eating" Daisy said. The girls walked away. "Wow, great with technology and standing up for yourself" a boy said to her. She looked at him "yea, kind of what I'm known for" Daisy said. That was a bit of an over statement, but it was close enough. "People call me static, because I have a tendency to shock people" he said "I'm Daisy" Daisy replied "so, are you free next week?" he asked "uh…" Daisy seemed at a loss for words "yes, she's free" I said "are you her brother?" static asked me "no, but she lives with me" I said. he seemed confused "her parents left her when she was little, so mine take care of her instead" I said "ok" he said, before walking off. After we were finished, the teacher told us to make robots and fight them, winner gets a prize. Most of the others built huge robots, and I suggested doing the same, but Daisy didn't want to, and she made a replica of the onion instead. I was confused at first, but she assured me it would win. We were the first to go up, so I turned it on and it hovered to the floor. "Wow, you think that thing is going to win?" the opponent asked. I didn't say anything, but Daisy responded with confidence "not just win, but destroy yours" well, I've been known to do badly before. We activated our robots, and Daisy showed the reason for her confidence. The onion replica let out 10 winged pikmin replicas, who hovered around the onion as it lifted into the air…and out of reach. There was only an activation switch on the remote, and now I knew why. The pikmin replicas flew towards the opponent's robot, who tried to grab at them, but missed every time. The pikmin replicas hit the robot enough times, and it fell. They left the pieces and went back into the replica onion, which was now on the ground. At the next fight, the number had doubled! Each fight, the number doubled again, until by the final fight, there were 100. This robot was huge, and the pikmin replicas wouldn't be able to penetrate the armor, but Daisy didn't know that. The pikmin replicas tried to hit it, but didn't do any damage, and the robot had the same problem. The pikmin replicas were too fast to hit, and the bigger robot was too strong. The pikmin replicas hovered just out of reach, then half of them went after the student controlling the robot, and hovered in front of his face. While the student was distracted, the remaining 50 knocked the robot down, and deactivated it, winning the battle. "Wow…" I said. Daisy had done all of the programing, so I didn't know it could do that "how did you manage that?" I asked her "it helps to know the mind of your creation" she said. In other words, she programed them to be just like pikmin! That was incredible! We got to keep our robot because of it too! Daisy told mom all about the day, including when static asked her out, though she didn't realize that's what he did. I looked outside and saw Aqua swimming as if she was born in the water, which she technically was, so I knew she would be ready for school tomorrow. I looked at the robotic Onion, and I decided to show the others the pikmin. Unfortunately, when I started it up, the pikmin didn't come out. Instead, it spat out 5 seeds, which embedded themselves into the carpet. That's when I realized, a little too late, that Daisy had programed them with full pikmin capabilities, which meant that they needed to reproduce like pikmin as well. I sighed, plucked the 5 robotic pikmin, and let the former pikmin play with them. Each one looked exactly like the pikmin it was a copy of, except all of them had a grey color instead of the normal color. I sighed, then I remembered the mysterious force. There was no way to tell what it would do, or even what it was. If it used my machine, then it was most likely human, but I didn't know what to do about it. Oh well. I yawned, feeling very tiered all of a sudden. After dinner, I got ready for bed, and almost immediately fell asleep.

Wow, this one was hard to write. Based on how hard it was to write this one, I can't make enough of a story for all the others, sorry. In the next chapter, I'm going to summarize the remaining peoples first day of school, but I've run out of ideas. Remember: I love criticism of all kinds, reviews encourage me, and I'm open to input. bye for now!
