Bumper's Secret Talent
Extra! Extra! Read All About It!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMeanwhile during all of this Pummel was trapped between a rock and a very dangerous place. The principal, instead of expelling Pummel like he hopped, had put him in the dreaded hole. It was a rumor that the hole was a long locker the president had in his office closet. It was built into the wall and the sides we're had nails sticking out that we're hot and highly electrocuted. The door was able to give enough shock to turn ham into ashes if it even barely made contact.
And the stone was the only safe place, sure it burned the skin and could give you a second degree burn. But it was much better than getting stabbed, burned, or electrocuted. The place was so long it, that rumor had it, it could hold Princess Celestia herself. And now Pummel could safely say the rumors we're true, he was sweating from the stress, heat, and humidity. He was crying as he was forced to stand on his front hooves to avoid being stabbed or electrocuted.
Mr. Somber had placed them in there the entire night and had yet to come back. Pummel started crying what if he never came back and ended up dying here. Suddenly the sound of a lock undoing itself filled Pummel's ears. The principal swung the door open and dragged the colt out. He shut the door and locked it again,
"Next time don't try to skip curfew." Mr. Somber said coldly and Pummel nodded as his entire body was shaking. And his leather jacket was sticking to every part of him and his coat and mane we're soaked in sweat. "And if you tell anypony I will shove a bat up your flank." Pummel's pupils turned to pricks again and he nodded frantically before he ran away.
He kept running trying to make it to his room without being seen. But before he could turn the corner to get to his door he ran into one of the news colts.
"Pummel!!! What happened to you!?" He said,
"Th-Th-The principal!" He screamed before bursting into tears and running into his dorm. He left the door open wide enough for the news colt to see that he was rocking back and forth. The news colt took and picture and shut the door,
"Whoa news story of the century." He muttered before running to his news/journalism class. The colt ran into his class and flew up into the air.
"Guy's! Guy's! I got the biggest news story in history!" The colt said and everypony in the room gasped,
"I can see the title now!" The teacher said, "Writers go out their and get some news!" The writer fillies and colts did as she said, "Photographers go get some more picture's of Pummel and try to get some of the principal and anything suspicious in his office. But be careful." The photographers did as they said including the colt who flew off with them.
It was the tenth day that the tech nerds and Bumper had been working on the cube. And they we're almost done! Between their friendship, teamwork, and the little cheat sheet Data had made. All they needed to do was to find one more loose chip to bring the whole thing down. They we're now in tech knowledge class as they had convicted Mrs. Static that working on the project together would be like a bonding experience. And right now their teacher was impressed, as the kid's we're like machines throwing the items into the right bins.
"Wait!" Data screamed and everypony stopped, he walked over to a small computer chip and pulled it. And all the wires, remaining chips and flash drive shards came down. Bumper then levitated and sorted the items in the correct bins.
"We did it!" Bumper screamed and the tech nerds cheered and playfully doggie piled onto Bumper, he laughed and the teacher giggled as well.
"N-Now w-w-we ha-ha-have t-to re-re-build i-i-it! I-I-It sh-sh-shou-should b-b-be a-a sn-snap th-th-than-thanks t-to Da-Data a-a-and hi-his gr-gr-grade A me-me-memory!" Spark said,
"Yeah! Let's go!" Gizmo and Console said.
"Hold on kid's." Mrs. Static said, "I'm very impressed on your work. But I must say something. Bumper it occurred to me a couple of days after giving you the assignment. That I may had been a little harsh. When I heard that you had defended Data it had convinced me to let you off the hook. But you we're all just starting to become friends and it seemed to have improved your attitude. So.....Bumper since you've done so well I will give you an A plus for this along with the others and you don't have to rebuild this. I will even allow you to keep the items if you wish" The kid's gasped and Bumper's eye's widened,
"Re-Really?" He said, and Mrs. Static nodded. Bumper felt tears come to his eye's and he hugged his teacher with so much force she actually fell over. "Thank you." Bumper whispered and the other's joined in, Mrs. Static laughed.
"Alright, alright I see your all happy please get off." She said and the kid's did as they we're told, Bumper blushed and muttered.
"Sorry." Mrs. Static shook her head,
"It's fine as long as you're not stomping through the halls." She joked.
"I can't wait to tell your other friends they're gonna try to throw you a party!" Data said,
"Hey I'm tell them! You guy's can celebrate with them." Bumper said, and the tech nerds laughed.
"Oh alright you softy." Console said as she playfully punched Bumper on his shoulder, suddenly the door slammed open and Pummel came in looking distressed.
"Pummel!?" Everypony shouted,
"What are you doing here!?" Bumper said getting in front of the tech nerds. Pummel pulled out a newspaper that read:
MAD PRINCIPAL AND BROKEN PUMMEL PROVE THE HOLE'S EXISTENCE!
Everypony gasped,
"He's coming for me! He thinks I told! Please you've got to help me!" Pummel said begging in front of Bumper, everypony then heard banging hooves and they all looked to see Mr. Somber. In all his terrifying glory. Pummel started shaking and sweating as tears filled his eye's. And the tech nerds and Bumper we're shocked by it. Finally Mr. Somber walked into the room and glared down at the cowering colt
