Roxy's Secret Power

Roxy's Secret Power

It was early morning at Dairy Dream Ice Cream Parlor. Miss Dipper, the owner, learrived at the store. She unlocked the door and turned on the lights. She gasped. “ My ice cream is gone! ” “ I think I'm melting! ” said Mara, wiping her forehead. ” Don't talk, ” said Jack. “ It only makes you feel hotter. “

The air conditioning at Metro City Elementary School wasn’t working. The students in Miss Apricot's class were miserable. It was Ouiet Reading Time, but no one could concentrate on reading. “ It's so hot, I can't even think, “ said Terrell.

“ Me neither, “ said Jack. “ I wish we could go swimming. ” Jack closed his eyes and imagined jumping into an ice-cold pool. “ I wish we could have ice cream, ” . said Mara. ” That would cool us off. ” “ If only Rocket Girl was here, “ said Terrell. “ She could do something about this heat. “

“ This heat isn’t so bad, “ said Roxy. “ Are you kidding?” asked Terrell. ” Aren't you hot right now?” “ Of course, “ said Roxy. “ But I have a secret power I use to keep cool. “ Terrell looked interested. So did everyone else.

” You do?” said Jack. “ Tell us! ” Terrell, Jack, and Mara leaned closer to hear about Roxy's secret power. Roxy looked very serious. “ I’ll tell you. But you all have to promise to never tellanyone, ” she said. “ We promise, “ said her friends, hardly breathing.
