The Strange Girl

The Strange Girl

Roxy stomped her tiny foot. “ Nobody shrinks Rocket Girl! " The little girl now looked like a giant. Roxy watched the girl skip away. “ La, la, la! " the girl sang. Roxy flew after the girl and fired her eye laser beams. Whiz-hoo!

The tiny laser beams bounced off the girl’s neck. Roxy fired again and again. Whiz-hoo! Whiz-hoo! “ What was that?” the girl said, feeling her neck. “ It feels like mosquitoes are biting me. " The girl skipped some more. Then she looked up at Metro City Grand Hotel. “ That’s a cute building! " said the girl.

She aimed the device at the building. “ I have to stop this girl, ” thought Roxy. “ But how? I'm too small. " Roxy thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. Zoom! Roxy flew inside the device. She could see all sorts of wires and gears. Roxy fired her eye laser beams again.

Whiz-hoo! Ka-boom! Roxy flew back out as the device exploded in the girl's hand. The girl looked down at the broken device. She sniffed. Her lip shook. Tears filled her eyes. “ Waa-aa! Waa-aa! ” the girl cried. “ My shrink ray is broken! ”

Suddenly a man and woman ran toward her. They were both wearing space suits. “ Abba! ” said the man. “ Your mom and I were looking for you. ” “ The shrink ray is broken! " Abba cried. “ You're not supposed to play with that! " said the girl’s mom. Her dad looked around and frowned.
