Saving the City

Saving the City

Roxy was covered in glowing chemicals. " I have to wash these chemicals off! " thought Roxy. “ They’re making me itchy—and angry! ” She remembered the fire trucks back at the train crash. “ The firefighters can spray me with the hose, ” thought Roxy. Stomp, stomp, stomp!

“ Wah-hu! Wah-hu! ” Blue Baboon was still walking toward Metro City. “ I need to move fast! ” Roxy said to herself. She flew through the air, but the chemicals got in her eyes. She almost crashed into some power lines. Then she almost plowed into a train car. Finally she landed near Detective Smith.

“ Help! ” Roxy cried. “ These chemicals are awful! They’re really, really itchy! ” “ Oh no! ” said the detective. “ How can I help?” “ Tell the firefighters to blast me with the hose! ” said Roxy. “ Right! ” said the detective. The firefighters aimed the hose at Roxy, and water gushed out.

A moment later all the chemicals were gone. “ Whew! ” Roxy sighed. “ That’s better. ” Then she realized something. “ I know why Blue Baboon is so angry! He’s itchy from all the chemicals! ” Roxy picked up the fire truck. “ I need to borrow this, ” she told the firefighters.

She flew after Blue Baboon. By now he had reached the city. “ Wah-hu! Wah-hu! ” People ran and screamed. “ It’s a big baboon! ” “ Run for your lives! ” “ Save us, Rocket Girl! ” Splash! Roxy dumped the fire truck’s water on Blue Baboon. All the chemicals washed off.
