Rocky The Rocket - Friend. Kids story. Chapter 6

 It was time to start. Harmony stroked Rocky and said quietly: "Try not stand out too much."

She had an old remote control handset from a toy helicopter, which she had grabbed from the barn. She knew it would be too suspicious to say that Rocky does not need control.

The countdown complete and the rockets launched, competing for the highest flight. Rocky observed opponents and obeyed Harmony’s request to not hurry as that would attract attention. He reached a height sufficient to come third and then returned to earth. 

Applause. First place was taken by the USA, the model that came second belonged to the notoriously arrogant guy, who appeared to be a local. Surprisingly to everyone else apart from Harmony, Rocky came the third in this competition.

- Not bad, said the Ukrainian boy, - I did not know that girls could assemble models.   “This sounded almost like a compliment”, thought Harmony.

Children started to gather around. Blushing, the Princess whispered to her friend: "Is this called “not standing out?". 

The crowd grew in number with many more interesting characters appearing.

Harmony noticed a participant dressed accurately in a rocket costume. Despite not making top three with his model he respectfully saluted Harmony after Rocky's exceptional performance. 

They started preparation for the second launch on speed.
