PUSHING THEIR LUCK

Max was back on the front page of the New Victoria Chronicle the next morning, but this time he was joined by the other members of the Iron Bridge varsity Round Table team.

Everyone was talking about the results, and the Toad brothers were ready to capitalize. They boarded the Zephyr with oversized duffel bags stuffed with T-shirts, pennants, buttons, and just about anything else that would hold the Iron Bridge Academy team logo. They were sold out of merchandise before they reached the second subway car, but they continued to take orders throughout the day.

Teachers had a difficult time maintaining control in their classrooms. They were all thankful that seventh period had been canceled in favor of a school assembly.

Once the last class filed into the auditorium, Dr. Thistlebrow led the team to the stage as the band played the school fight song. The students in the audience cheered as each member of the varsity team was introduced.

The changelings were sequestered in the balcony with Dean Nipkin, yet they were no less enthusiastic. When Ernie’s name was called, they started calling out, “Thunderbolt!” The other students joined in the chant as Ernie took a bow. He was about to take another when he felt Dr. Thistlebrow’s hand on his shoulder.

“Very good, Mr. Tweeny,” he said. “Now let’s move along.”

Ernie was reluctant to give up the spotlight, but he did—though not before blowing a kiss to the audience. Max, on the other hand, didn’t want to be introduced at all. He hesitated when Dr. Thistlebrow called his name, and he might not have gone forward at all if Hale hadn’t pushed him.

“Now,” Dr. Thistlebrow said, “though it’s a bit unusual, I’ve decided that we shall have two team captains this year, Xander Swift and Stephanie Hale!”
