a bad guy? “I am only here to<br />

make friends.” Petal and Tackle<br />

did not believe him. But Sicky<br />

wasn’t doing anything, he was<br />

just standing.<br />

“Fine,” said Tackle, “if you can<br />

prove that you will be nice, we<br />

will believe you.” Sicky nodded.<br />

“The first thing I need you to do<br />

is clean up the mess you made,”<br />

said Tackle.<br />

Sicky started cleaning the goo<br />

and the smoke. When he was<br />

done, Petal told him to apologize<br />

to everyone who was in the<br />

cafe. Sicky went to go look for<br />

everyone. They were all outside<br />

the cafe. Everyone was going<br />

to leave, but Sicky explained<br />

everything.<br />

“I am very sorry that I frightened<br />

everyone. I hope that you can<br />

forgive me.”<br />

They all nodded and agreed to<br />

forgive Sicky.<br />

Petal and Tackle were getting<br />

friendlier with Sicky. “Okay,<br />

this is your last task. You need<br />

to announce to the Planet of<br />

Doughnuts that you are a kind<br />

alien now.”<br />

“How am I going to do that?”<br />

asked Sicky.<br />

“You need to go to the radio<br />

station and kindly ask them if<br />

you can speak on the radio,” said<br />

Tackle. Sicky didn’t even know<br />

how that was possible, but he<br />

said he would try.<br />

When they arrived at the station,<br />

Sicky asked the radio station<br />

manager, “Hi, can I please do an<br />

announcement?”<br />

“Well, as long as you follow the<br />

three rules: It can’t be useless<br />

information, you cannot play with<br />

the buttons, and you have to pay,”<br />

said the manager.<br />

Sicky didn’t have any money, so<br />

he didn’t know what to do. “Miss, I<br />

don’t have money,” said Sicky.<br />

“I don’t want money, I want a<br />

precious red ruby from the Forest<br />

of Gems,” said the manager.<br />

The manager needed the gem<br />

because one of the buttons was<br />

broken, so she needed a ruby to<br />

replace it.<br />

Sicky was scared to find the gem<br />

alone, so Petal and Tackle agreed<br />

to help Sicky. “Don’t worry Sicky,<br />

we have your back!” said Petal.<br />

Sicky told the manager that<br />

he could do it, so he went on a<br />

mission with Petal and Tackle.<br />

When they arrived at the Forest<br />

of Gems, they started searching<br />

for the ruby.<br />

“We’re never going to find<br />

it!” said Petal.
