Chapter 25 - Chapter 23: The Glove

Selene: You nailed it with the piano test. Any thoughts on this one? (Looks at Sia)

Sia: Yeah.. don't move !! ( The gloves fly near Selene).. Where did it go? Did anyone see?

Selene: How can we catch it if it keeps on disappearing ?

Fairy Lara: I guess that's the test.

Elf Abbe: Spread out; may be we can corner it.

It sticks to fairy Lara and pulls off.... She screams ...Ah...Get it out of me...

Sia: I am trying ! (Uses her wand)

Elf Abbe: Careful, you'll hit Lara.

Whoa..... Lara fells off the ground...

Monica: And the tri-ling, have you noticed anything different about her?

Professor: How do you mean ?

Monica: Has she exhibited any special qualities?

Professor: All my students are excellent.

Fairy Lara falls on the library.... Professor's face turn red to see her in that state.

Sia: I don't like this...

Elf Abbe: I too.. I can't see it..

Selene: If we make it visible, then we can catch it. Any ideas on this?

Elf Abbe: Do I have to come up with everything ?

Sia: We have flush it out in the open and cover it with the fairy dust.

Elf Abbe: Good plan, so who does flushing ?

Selene: I'll do it.

Selene shouts....hey glove... Where are you?

The glove crawls on the floor.

Selene: It's time to go home now. Don't miss your partner?

The glove uses its power to make Sia disappear.

Elf Abbe: So much for the fairy plan.

Professor: A good education cant only be measured by success. A student learns as much, if not more, by their mistakes.

Squeals... Fairy Sia reaches the library.

Monica: Your students seem to be learning a great deal, then.

Professor laughs ....

Selene: Whispers Abbe..

Selene and Abbe use their magic fingers to attack the glove and make it powerless.

The glove falls off the ground with a thudding noise!!

Ghostly gasp ....

Both sigh with a relief....

Selene exhales...

Professor: You all made it by the skin of your teeth. But a pass is pass. Well done. I'm sure you've all benefited from the experience.

Sia: That was a tough test, Professor.

Elf Abbe: You'll have to prepare for a lot more than to get it into the DMI.

Professor: I think we've all learned a lesson. So, a thank you to Monica.

Monica: I think Abbe was right.

Professor: About what?

Monica: She suggested individuals abilities were important.

Elf Abbe: I agree.

Peter: So ?

Monica: So, I'd like to see what your students are capable of when they're in the field. Let them face a real world situation with real consequences.

Peter: I think they have done enough for today.

Fairy Lara: Yeah... I'm pooped!! Who knew a glove could be so hard to catch?

Monica: I don't mean you Lara. I'm talking about students who are still in the game, Abbe and Selene.

Elf Abbe: I am up for it!!

Professor: Not Selene, It's too soon for her.

Monica: The test isn't over until there's a clear winner. I thought you had faith in your students.

Selene: It's okay, Professor. I'll give it a shot.

The Professor nods his head...
