Chapter 23: Cassidy, Baby Genius
It was back on the set of Anywhere But Burbank, and Cassidy was getting ready to film for her segment, ingeniously titled "Cassidy: Baby Genius." The Director helps strap her inside the prop rocket they were using for her to make it look like she was sailing through the Galaxy. "Alright Cassidy, now when I give you your cue, you speak what's on your card. Okay sweetie?" Cassidy gave a nod and a gesture, blinking out. 'I got this, watch me.' Before she gets set into the right spot. "Cameras are rolling.. And go."
Cassidy pretends to sail her rocket through the background as it moved for her. She turns her head to the camera and waved. "Hi. My name is Cassidy. And this is my robo dog Arfroid." She spoke with a full grown woman voice and Arfroid barked, panting. "I made him myself. You see, I'm a genius. Sometimes though, I feel too smart for my own good.." Then her system started beeping, telling her "Danger! Danger!" as asteroids were coming her way. She rubbed her eyes and gave a surprised look. "Woah! Time to go." She sails off the screen and the asteroids pass by.
The scene transitions to Cassidy working in her lab when she gets a important call. She answers it, and looks to see her other professional science friends. "I'm glad that you could attend this call Cassidy. We have a jet pack project in need of work for the convention coming up next week. We decided to put matters into your hands, as you're our most trusted client. Think you can handle this risky task?" The main professor asked the little one and Cassidy nodded, giving off a salute. "You can count on me Doc." "Excellent. We'll meet you soon." A female scientist spoke up as Doc ended the call. Arfroid jumped up into Cassidy and licked her face. "Oh he-e-ey. Easy boy."
"Alright. We got a jet pack to make within a week and we need to figure out how to get it done." She spoke to herself and began to ponder on the subject. Pacing around, Arfroid follows her and after a moment, Cassidy finally came up with an idea. "I got it! Get ready boy, we have a lot of work to do." She tells her dog and together they gather up some supplies such as metal, tubing, fuel, and wiring to help put it all together. "There, now here's what we need to do.." Cassidy unrolls a huge blueprint and looked it over, pointing to where they're supposed to go. Then she straps on her welding mask, got out a blowtorch and got to work on making the jet pack.
(Next Week: Convention Day.)
Doc was waiting for Cassidy backstage. "Huh.. She should have been here by now Anya. The press conference is in 30 minutes." Anya places a hand on her boss' shoulder. "Making something like this isn't an exact science, boss. She'll-" But before she could finish, Cassidy comes rolling in with the jetpack. "Did somebody order a freshly made jetpack?" She smirks and landed herself safely. Doc takes the jetpack and places it on the cart. "Excellent work, Cass. You've earned your medal this week." And then they all walk on together on the stage to meet up with the other scientists that were in attendance, ready to show off what they have accomplished. Doc clears his throat and began the speech. "Scientists of Anvilania. We stand before you today, cause if we were behind you, you couldn't see us." "That's right. We have broke through something history thought would be impossible." Cassidy pulls off the cover to show them the jetpack. "Ooh!" The crowd goes in awe.
"With the help of a little genius, we have given you our very own jetpack. One of a kind that would have never been the case if not for Cassidy, the Baby Genius." Doc points to her and she waves to the crowd. Everyone went into an uproar of cheers and claps as Cassidy turned to her boss. "Thanks Doc. Everything here has turned out perfectly great." She hummed and then a bull falls on Doc and a cow onto Anya. "With the possible exception of getting squashed by bovines..."
