You run as fast as you can and snag the little girl. She looks up at you, surprised.
SCREEEEECH!
The car squeals to a stop mere inches away from you both. The driver leans on his horn, gesturing angrily at you.
You take the little girl over to her yard and set her down. The driver roars off.
Pop!
The jerk! He ran over the little girl's ball and popped it. Tears sparkle in her eyes.
"Wait just a minute," you tell the little girl. "I'll fix your ball and bring it back to you."
You run a few blocks to your house, go to the garage and get your bicycle pump. The ball has a big hole in it, but it seems to all be there. You pinch the hole shut, then point your free hand at it. As you focus, a faint beam of light projects onto the hole and welds it shut. You use the bike pump to fill the ball with air, then run back to the little girl's house and give her the ball.
"Thank you, mister!" the little girl exclaims happily.
She eagerly grabs the ball and runs off to play with it.
"Stay out of the street!" you call after her.
You go home and eat dinner with your family. Afterwards, you go to sleep.
The next day, you oversleep. You wake up groggily. Why didn't my alarm clock go off? you wonder. You glance over at it, and see that it isn't there. A burnt spot is where it used to be. Oh yeah. Then, it hits you: you're late to school! You run into the kitchen and look at the clock on the wall. 10:30! Why didn't your mom wake you up? You notice a post-it note stuck to the toaster. It reads:
I brought you some breakfast from McDenny's. I put it in the oven to keep it warm. Enjoy your day off from school!
-Mom
Oh yeah. There's no school today. Opening the oven, you take out the McDenny's bag and peer inside. Oh yeah! A Combo Burrito with extra Panic Sauce!
You take a bite. AAAAHHH! It feels like a thousand people armed with flamethrowers and napalm launchers are having a war inside your mouth. THAT is some good Panic Sauce!
When you finish your burrito (and drink a tall glass of milk), you decide what you should do with your day off.
