Thinking that she might drown in a ball during an astronomy class activity, Penelope was now totally freaked out. Screaming and crying in her wet ball, Penelope hoped that the water would go away when she reached spring.
It was starting to get warmer inside of Jasmine's planet costume. Summer was on its way. She new this because now it had become downright hot. It wasn't hot with a nice ocean breeze like in California, it was hot and HUMID. Along withnthe hot and humid air came.......mosquitos. Jasmine knew that she had better wrap things up quickly because it was becoming quite uncomfortable, fast.
Jasmine continued to duck and dodge the pendulum and her classmates. As she looked to the side, she noticed a young girl appearing to have a major meltdown inside of her bubble. Oh no, it was Penelope the first year that she had met at the feast. Clearly she was in distress because crying and screaming appeared to be involved. Jasmine was so close to the finish line she could almost taste it. She knew that she couldn't just leave the girl so she turned and made a beeline for her bubble.
Rolling up beside Penelope Jasmine asked,
"What's wrong?" To top things off it was raining inside Penelope's bubble and she was borderline hysterical. Maintaining a calm tone, Jasmine said,
"Penelope look at me".
"You're going to be OK. Just try to relax and breathe. The rain will stop when you get to your next season. You've got to keep moving, but first you have to calm down. I'll help you if you want. You can follow me." Jasmine continued to speak soothingly to Penelope, hoping that she would be able to regain control and finish the task.
