Creative Problem Solving, Tuesday, period 3
The Danger Shop was set up like a little carnival today, complete with lots of big spinny rides and buildings full of mirrors and twisty hallways and disconcerting smells. Eliot and Parker waited for the kids by the entrance. Eliot was eyeing one of the rides suspiciously, but looked away as the students started to enter. He held a large brindle labrador puppy on a leash. The puppy bounced excitedly around his legs, tail going so fast it was practically a propeller.
"Welcome back," he said. "Hope everyone had a good weekend, whether you went camping or not."
“It’s a carnival day! You don’t have to fight anything,” Parker told them. “Unless you really want to punch a clown. I can understand that.” She bent down to pet Val. “Instead, we’ve got a find-a-treasure-hunt.”
Val yipped and play-bowed, staring up at Parker excitedly. She was a puppy. Her default mode was excited.
"The treasure, in this case, bein' this here girl," Eliot said, leaning down to unhook Val from her leash. "She gets a head start." Val froze when the leash was disengaged, looking up at Eliot. He nodded to her and jerked his thumb over his shoulder. "Val, git."
She dashed off with another yip and disappeared around a corner by the shooting gallery.
Parker grinned. “You have to find the puppy and bring her back to us. She’s a sweetie, so you won’t have to hurt her, just maybe… herd her.” She paused and added, “Don’t feed her anything with chocolate.”
Oh god, how did Parker talk him into this? Simulated cotton candy wouldn't give his dog a stomach ache, would it?
"She ain't real good at coming when you call yet," Eliot said, not letting his anxiety show on his face. "And she loves playin' hide and seek." He rolled his shoulders and gave the ride he'd been eyeing another look. "Careful around the rides. I mean -- I know there's safeties and all, but --"
Look, you got hit in the face with one of those things once and you got leery.
“Megabyte loves everybody. So have fun, guys!”
"That ain't her --" Eliot cut himself off with a groan. "Just -- go look for her."
"Welcome back," he said. "Hope everyone had a good weekend, whether you went camping or not."
