10. The Big Surprise Ending

10 The Big Surprise Ending I peeked out of my foxhole. Super Droney was on the ground, in pieces. Our secret weapon had been destroyed. "BWA-HA-HA!" said Droney as it hovered over our heads. "YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD DEFEAT ME BY MAKING SOME FLIMSY MARSHMALLOW SHOOTERS AND

A PATHETIC DRONE?" I looked at Miss Aker. Andrea looked at Miss Aker. Ryan looked at Miss Aker. Emily looked at Miss Aker. In case you were wondering, everybody was looking at Miss Aker. "What do we do now?" asked Andrea. "We attack!" Miss Aker yelled as she climbed out of her foxhole. "Follow me, kids! We have nothing to fear but fear itself! Charge!"

We all climbed out of our foxholes and followed Miss Aker toward Droney. "Fire!" shouted Miss Aker. "Hit it with everything you've got!" I fired a marshmallow, and then reloaded my marshmallow shooter. The air was filled with marshmallows. Droney dodged them and fired marshmallows back.

"Victory at all costs!" Miss Aker shouted as she led us into battle. "Never give in. Never give up!" "We're running out of marshmallows!" shouted Ryan. "Somebody needs to go to the supermarket and buy more!" shouted Michael. "No time for that!" Miss Aker shouted as she turned around. "It's now or never!" And then, just as she turned back around, a marshmallow hit Miss Aker in the face. "I'm hit!" she shouted as she stumbled to the ground. We all gathered around Miss Aker. "He... got me," she groaned, covering her eye with one hand. That was weird. I mean, it was just a marshmallow. "You'll be okay," said Andrea, trying

to help Miss Aker up. "No," she moaned. "You kids are going to have to carry on without me, I'm afraid. The Maker Movement must continue, even if I can't." Miss Aker fell back on the ground. Emily started crying. I thought I might cry too. "What are we gonna do now?" asked Neil. "BWA-HA-HA!" said Droney. "YOU MADE ME. BUT YOUR SILLY MAKER MOVEMENT IS OVER." Droney was right. All hope was lost. Super Droney was destroyed. Mr. Klutz was missing. Miss Aker was injured. We were going to have to surrender to Droney. That's when the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened. You'll never believe who came running out to the playground at that moment.

I'm not going to tell you. Okay, okay. I'll tell you. It was Mr. Cooper! "WHO... IS... THAT?" asked Droney. "He's our teacher!" we shouted. Mr. Cooper was carrying the violin he had been playing at his desk.* "Step aside, everyone!" shouted Mr. Cooper. "I'll handle this!" "What are you going to do?" asked Ryan.
