Kai's Tinkerbell


Once in the small village in Lismore, there lived a boy named Kai. He was afraid of the dark. He thought that it's better for him to sleep outside rather than sleep in his dark chamber, because when he's slept outside he will be accompanied by the stars and the moon. Everynight before he went to sleep, he always staring at the sky through the window until he's falling asleep.

Far above the sky there was a star. It was the most beautiful star in the sky and it has the brightest light than the other stars. That star was Kai's favourite. The Star always paid attention to the boy every night and accompanied him in his sleep.

One day when Kai was alone in his house, the house's light was went out. He was afraid to death. He cried. The Star felt sorry to that boy and decided to come down to the earth but the Moon didn't allowed it.

"You can't go there" the Moon said.
"Why? I want to be there"
"That's not your place. You belong here"
"But he's afraid. I wanna go down to accompany him"
"Why are you so insist?"
There's no answer from the Star. The Moon sighed and then continued.
"Oke. I'll let you go. But there's a rule. When you're on the Earth you have to entrust your light to that boy so you can still alive. Once you entrust it, you can't take it back and you have to come back here immediately when that boy find his own star on his world." the Moon explained.
"Oke I got it. Can I go now?"
"One more. You can tell that boy that you're a star or you and your light will be diseppear right after you tell  him."
She began to hesitate. Nevertheless she diceded to go down to the Earth.
Transformed into a fairy, she met that boy.

"Hey why are you crying?" she asked.
"Who are you?" he asked with fear in his face.
"Don't be afraid. My name is Dio"
"You look like a girl. Why your name is Dio? It sounds like a male's name" said the boy chuckled.
"I'm a girl. Nevermind. It's just a name"
"You're not answering my question yet. And what is your name?" ask the Star continued.
"My name is Kai. I cried because I'm afraid of the dark. I can't sleep" he answered, start sobbing.
"It's oke. I'm here. I'll take care of you"
"Can you read me a story? My mom always read me a story everytime I can't sleep but now she's not home. And the star that I used to watched is not there"
"Well, what story you want me to read? Where is the book?"
"Peterpan. The book is on top of my desk. I love that story" said Kai.
"I'll read you the story but you have to stop crying"
The boy noded excitedly and the Star began to read him a story until he's asleep.

Day by day the Star always accompanied the boy in the night when he was sleeping. She always read him a story or sang a song. She has a beautiful voice. Since from that day, Kai wasn't afraid of the dark anymore bacause he has Dio's light inside him, still he needs the Star beside him.

The Star was always with him until he's grown up. One day, he told to the Star.
"There was a girl in my school. She's smart and kind. She's also friendly"
"Is she beautiful?" ask the Star
"Absolutely yes. She is"
"What's her name?"
"Krystal, Beautiful name, isn't it?"

After that, Kai always told the Star about Krystal, how beautiful she is, how kind she is, what was he did with her, and so on.

"I've confess my feeling" said Kai suddenly on the night.
"Krystal?" the Star asked.
"Of course. Who else?"
"Really? So what's her response?" she asked, curious.
"You will be shock. She accept my feeling. It turns out that during this time she also like me"
"Wow. That's great and yes, I'm shocked"
"Told you"
"Do you really love her?" ask the Star.
"Yes I do"
The Star smiled. Fake smile.

The boy has found his own star. The real figure in his world that will always be there on a day or night.
The Star realized that is the time for her to go. There's only two choice; back to the sky without her light or died on the Earth with her light after she told the boy who she is actually.
The Star didn't want the boy to lose her light so she decided to go back to the sky without told anything to the boy.

The next day, Kai can't found where Dio was. He kept calling her name but she's never appeared. He's felt so sad that he didn't know where she's gone. The one who always be his friend every night now has been dissepeared and the Star he used to watched wasn't on its place in the sky anymore.

That Star was still there. Far above the sky. The only difference was that she didn't shone anymore so the boy couldn't see it. The Star believed that one day Kai would forget about her and his sadness. He will found his happiness again.

She remember a quote in a story she used to read for Kai:
"Tinkerbell will always be a Tinkerell. She could never be a Wendy. Someday Peterpan will found his Wendy and live happily together, while Tinkerbell only watching them from a far"

The Star realized that she's Kai's Tinkerbell. 
That Star was always there every night. Watched that boy from a far without the boy knew who she is actually. Shining without her light.

Summary

The Challenger Disaster by Mary Jones
 
By 1984, NASA, the United States space program, had carried out many successful flights of the space shuttle. In fact, Americans were beginning to take the whole NASA program for granted. Then, the president announced that the next shuttle would carry a school teacher into space. Hundreds of teachers from all parts of the country applied for the job. They all wanted to be “the first teacher in space.” During the next year, these adventurous educators were tested and examined and trained. At last, the choice was announced. A teacher from New Hampshire, Christa MacAuliffe, would be the first teacher-astronaut.
Summary: Christa Mac Auliffe would be the first teacher-astronaut.

Many months of preparation and training followed the announcement. First, Christa went through intensive physical training. She had to be in top condition for the flight. Then she learned how to operate some of the delicate instruments on the Challenger space shuttle. Christa planned special lesions, which she would teach from space. Finally, she trained with the astronauts, so they could work as a team in space.
Summary: Many months of preparation and training.

Everyone knows what happened on that terrible day in January, 1986. Early in the morning, the Challenger crew had a good breakfast and discussed their plans. They made sure they understood all of the work they would be doing during the flight. Later, they boarded a special
van, which carried them to the shuttle. The weather was rather cold, and some NASA officials wondered if they should put off the flight. After some discussion, they decided to go ahead. The Challenger took off over the Atlantic Ocean in Florida. Minutes later, it exploded in the air. All the crew members died in the crash.
Summary: The Challenger exploded in the air after a minutes aired.

There is no laws in the room. The only laws is the rules.


There's only one question and one answer is required. They only need to answer the question in 80 minutes to pass the test. It seems like a simple test, but it's not so simple. As the time started they turns their paper but there is no question there, no writing, and no clue what is the next step.
