"These cars are very fancy!" said Mayor Bloom.
Mayor Bloom was at the Metro City Car Show.
The convention center was filled with cars.
A man in a lab coat stepped onto a stage.
Nearby a car was covered by a white sheet.
"You're about to see my latest invention," said the man.
"It's the most amazing car ever!"
He walked toward the car.
Everyone leaned closer to see.
The man grabbed the sheet.
"Behold . . ." The man yanked off the sheet.
"The Ultra Car!"
Everybody gasped.
The car had wings, rockets, and lots of fancy gadgets.
Suddenly the car's engine roared.
Tires screeched, and everyone jumped out of the way.
Vroom! The Ultra Car smashed through the glass doors and drove away.
Roxy and her friends were at a city bus stop.
They'd been at the library.
Now they were going home.
Jack looked at a poster.
"I wish we could go to the Metro City Car Show."
"We have to go home," said Roxy.
Jack rolled his eyes. "I didn't mean right now.
I meant soon. It would be cool."
"We should go this weekend," said Terrell.
"Maybe our parents will take us."
"I'll ask my parents tonight!" said Mara.
"I wonder if there are cars that fly at the show," said Jack.
"Zoom!" He held out his arms and ran in circles.
"A flying car would be awesome," said Terrell.
"I wish I could fly," said Mara. "It would be so much fun!"
Roxy nodded. "It does sound like fun."
"We could fly to the library," said Terrell. "Or to the zoo."
"Or to the car show!" said Jack.
Mara watched a pigeon fly by.
"We could fly anywhere we wanted," she said. "Just like birds."
"I have an idea," said Terrell.
"We can ask Rocket Girl to help us fly!"
Roxy laughed. "I'm sure Rocket Girl is too busy for that."
Terrell frowned. "I guess you're right."
Just then Roxy's watch beeped.
She stepped away from her friends and pressed a button on the watch.
Mayor Bloom's face appeared.
"Mayor Bloom," Roxy whispered. "What's wrong?"
"There's trouble at the car show!" said the mayor.
"Someone has stolen the Ultra Car!
It's the most amazing car ever invented.
And now a thief has it!"
"Don't worry, Mayor," said Roxy.
"Rocket Girl is on her way!"
