SHEDDING OF SECRETS!

Narrator: Hello readers!!! well now that you have met all the six, it's time you join them on their journey. Are you ready? let's get started then!

(All the six have assembled on the ground floor of their apartment, near an old shed)

Ken: why are we all gathered here?

Nick: I have no idea, my parents said that some important announcement is to be made here!

(Others agree with him)

Crystal: It is surely not as important as my fashion show on T.V! I have to miss today's episode for some silly announcement!

(Just then all the parents and the president of this apartment also arrive)

President: I am sorry for disturbing you all in the middle of your works but I have something important to talk to you all regarding our apartment's shed. since our watchman is on leave for 2 months, the apartment's shed is in a very bad condition...now it is our responsibility to clean it!

one of the parents: you are right! kids, you all are having holidays right now so why don't you make it productive by giving us a helping hand in clearing the shed! isn't that fun?

Scarlet: you call that fun! We call it WORK!!

another parent: no more arguments! it is decided that you people will help us remove all things dumped into the shed and make it tidy!

Daisy: wait, all the things...

(And suddenly everyone goes into deep thoughts)

[thought bubble in crystal's mind, a month ago in school]: -

Crystal: Hey Spark! Is my quick fix glue ready?

Spark: It is not just an ordinary glue; it is SUPER SPARK GLUE!!!

Crystal: oh yes yes sorry sorry!! I need it very badly for fixing my broken designer hair clip! please Spark can you give some of your super spark glue to me, please!

Spark: here you go I have filled some glue in this tube, keep it safe, and do not worry this glue will surely work, I am saying this because I tried it with many broken things.

Crystal: thank you spark, you are a genius!

Spark with pride and happiness: well, anything for friends, okay got to go for my science clubs' class, will meet you again in our team meeting.

(Spark leaves the classroom)

Crystal: this glue might work but its smell is terrible! I have got to fix this!!

(She adds some drops of perfume to it)

Crystal: Now it smells good, let me add some perfume to the whole big bottle of Spark's glue, he will thank me for adding some fragrance to his invention!

(After adding she glues her clip together but instead of fixing, it starts to melt)

Crystal: oh, my goodness what did I do! I spoiled his whole invention! If he gets to know about it, he will be so angry with me and will never invent anything again for me! I have to hide it somewhere now!

(She decides to hide the big bottle of glue in the shed but forgets her small tube in the class itself.)

(After some time, Ken and Nick enter the class)

Narrator: nowhere ends Crystal's thoughts and begins the thoughts in Daisy and Scarlet's minds...

(Thought bubble in the minds of Daisy and Scarlet, A month ago, in the classroom during break time): -

Ken: - I want to play first!

Nick: No, I want to play first!

Daisy just enters in: It does not matter who starts the game first, it's about who wins it!!!

Ken: we are not talking about a board game...

Nick: we are talking about this new guitar which we purchased by summing up our pocket money. Well, it is me who needs to play it first, after all, I paid a penny more than him!

Ken: well-paying a penny more does not make much of a difference! see, K comes before N in Alphabets, so logically speaking I should play first and you go after me!

Nick: hey! you cannot blame my name kept by my parents for getting your chance first! By the way, I look better than you holding the guitar.

Ken: No, I look better than you holding this guitar I look the BEST!!!

Both together: Daisy you tell who needs to play first!

Daisy: well, I do not want to interfere in your silly fight. I just came to call you for our team meeting....so come now, you continue fighting later.

Ken: fine but this is not the end of our fight!

Nick: I never said it is!!

(Both of them leave the room and now Daisy is alone, so she starts daydreaming about how she would look holding the guitar)

Daisy: you know what I feel this guitar is meant only for me! should try playing it once, just once....should I?...no no no....should I.....no that would be wrong.... should I? okay fine let me just do it now!

(She plays the guitar so well that a part of the guitar breaks away from it)

Daisy: oh no! I shouldn't have played it in the first place but now what should I do?

(Just then scarlet enters in and Daisy quickly hides the guitar)

Scarlet: what are you doing all alone in the classroom Daisy? we are getting late for our team meeting! first, those two don't arrive on time and now you! wait a minute are you hiding something behind your back?

Daisy (tensed): me! hiding something! no way! you know I am not good at hide and seek right!

Scarlet: ha! caught you! your awkward smile clearly states that you are lying to me!!! you lost this time too in hide and seek. Now tell me the truth!

(Daisy tells everything to Scarlet)

Scarlet: Okay now that's a disaster!!! I will help you fix this!

Daisy: No that is not necessary Scarlet! I will find some way to fix it.

(Scarlet, busy thinking how to fix it not paying attention to anything Daisy is saying)

Scarlet pointing towards Spark's table where the small tube glue was left by crystal: look, Spark's new invention... the so-called Super Spark Glue...let us use this to fix your problem!

Daisy: But his inventions always turn out as a failure! how can we trust this one?

Scarlet: Oh, come on! stop being a pessimist, it will work for sure!

Daisy: but Scarlet...

(Scarlet glues the piece to the guitar but instead of fixing it starts melting and the guitar gets even more damaged)

Daisy: Great! now you did help me, by sharing the blame for damaging their guitar!!!

(Suddenly they see Ken and Nick heading towards the class to call them for the meeting)

Scarlet: no time for arguments Daisy, let us hide it in my locker for now and later take it home and hide it in our shed...we will think of fixing it later!

Narrator: So, they have also hidden their secret in the shed is it! Now let us go into the thoughts of Spark...

The [ Thought bubble in Spark's mind. A month ago, Crystal meets Spark at his house]: -

Crystal: Hey Spark, I came to show you the new dress I just finished designing, how is it???

Spark (not paying attention, busy with his work): awesome!

Crystal: I know right! tomorrow I will show this to my whole fashion team and they will be so happy.

(Suddenly she receives a call. She chats for an hour and later leaves continuing her talk on the phone)

Spark (after a while notices that she forgot her newly designed dress and went away): Crystal is becoming very forgetful nowadays! I will give it to her later first let me have my orange juice.

(Mistakenly, he spills the juice all over that dress!)

Spark: Oh god! what to do now? If Crystal sees this then she will be sad! and at the same time mad at me!

It's alright I think it's far time I try my new invention, the SPARK DETERGENT! It vanishes any kind of stain on clothes and gives it the old *SPARK*.

(He applies it on the stained place and rubs it to get the stain off the dress but instead, a big hole gets formed in that place)

Spark (looking through the hole): well....at least the stain is gone now...

(He finds no other option other than to hide.... where else? The shed!)

Narrator: Even him! oh god!!! let us see what mischief is going on in those other two heads now!

(Thought bubble in the minds of Ken and Nick. A month ago, in the classroom, during lunch hour): -

Ken: Nick, ready?

Nick: All ready!!!

Both together: Ken and Nick, Super Kick

(Both are playing football while no one is there in the class when suddenly the ball hits a prize won by Daisy just an hour ago for pot painting...they run to catch it)

Ken: Caught it!

(Then suddenly due to all that movement the pot painted by Daisy falls and breaks into a million pieces)

Nick: NO, LOST IT!

(The pot also hits a bottle of paints which spill all over a big sized photo)

Ken: Oh god! this is the group photo of the travel team taken when they went to Nepal!

Nick: so?

Ken: Don't you remember Scarlet was showing this to all of us and saying that this was her most favorite photo of all as Nepal was her first trip with the travel team and she always wanted to wear the travel team uniform and take a group photo with them...this is the photo she always dreamt to have and we spoiled it!!!

Nick: oh no!!! let's do something, you fix the photo and I will try gluing the pot pieces.

(Ken tries to clean the photo with his kerchief but the paint gets more smudged on the photo!)

Ken: it's not happening!

Nick: same here!

(Both of them see Scarlet and Daisy coming back from lunch hall)

Ken: are you thinking what I am thinking?

Nick: maybe, if we both are thinking the same :o

(They place everything in a box before those two arrive and hide it in the shed after taking it home)

{BACK TO THE PRESENT}: -

One parent: KIDS! where are you lost?

(With a sudden jerk everyone come back to the present)

Another parent: Are you all ready?

Everyone Together: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Narrator: OH God, only you can help them in this situation!!! well that is why they say lying or hiding the truth might not always help us fix our problems.... let us see how do these 6 tackle their problems in the next part!
