Once the copter picked up the water, Jessie ran around the pond to Sofie. “Hey, it’s my turn.” It had been fun watching the gravity inductor work like she thought it would but after all the design and work building it, she wanted her chance to operate it. Her frustration with Sofie always being the one to operate everything, had been building for some time now.
“Just wait a sec.” Sofie brushed her off, as she focused on the helicopter still hovering over the pond.
Jessie stomped her foot. “No! Let me!”
Sofie ignored her.
That was the last straw as Jessie reached for the remote. Sofie’s grip was tighter than Jessie thought.
“Let… go…” Jessie pulled.
“Just… wait, I’ll let you have it when I think you’re ready.” Sofie said pulling back.
Jessie refused to let go. Sofie’s sideways pull set them spinning.
“I’m ready NOW!” Jessie growled.
“I’d trust Stan before I’d trust you with this.” Sofie retorted.
The picture of Stan and his contraption spiraling down the hallway came to Jessie. With everything that’s been going on, she had forgotten about how ridiculous he looked. She started giggling at the thought. “eeeeeyyyyeee”
“Wha???” Sofie questioned before realizing Jessie was mimicking Stan’s scream. She laughed. “eyeyeyeye” She responded with her own impersonation. Then realizing how foolish she was acting, she let go the remote.
Jessie held it over her head in victory.
