Summary
After Woody gets hurt in an accident with one of her inventions, Dr. Fox decides to give up science and find another hobby.

Story
One morning at Whitney Manor, Dr. Fox was sitting on a bar stool watching one of her inventions move around on the kitchen floor.

"So far so good", Dr. Fox said, "my latest creation is working perfectly."

Then, Rosalina walked over to her.

"Hello, Dr. Fox", Rosalina said.

"Morning, Rose", Dr. Fox said.

Rosalina noticed the invention moving around.

"What's that", Rosalina asked.

"My latest invention, a self-controlled floor waxer", Dr. Fox said, "I made it from a Roomba and a Swiffer Wet Jet."

"Nice", Rosalina said, "looks like it's working pretty well."

"Thanks", Dr. Fox said, "I've never really had much success when it comes to my inventions, but this time, I think I've got it."

Then, Woody walked in.

"Lunchtime", Woody said, "I can't wait to dig into those leftover tacos."

Then, he slipped on the floor.

"Whoa", Woody said, "what's going on?"

Woody tried to grab onto the countertop to break his fall, but he hit his hand hard on it and fell on the floor, prompting Rosalina and Dr. Fox to go over to him.

"Woody", Rosalina said, "are you alright?"

She proceeded to help him up.

"Everything but my right hand is", Woody said, "it hurts like the dickens."

"I think we better get you to the hospital to check it out", Rosalina said.

"Good idea", Woody said, "what caused me to slip anyways."

"I'm afraid that's my fault", Dr. Fox said, "my new self-controlled floor waxer just waxed the floor recently."

"I see", Woody said.

"I'm really sorry", Dr. Fox said.

"It's alright", Woody said, "it's not your fault, I didn't know about the wax."

"Yeah", Rosalina said, "well, we better go."

Rosalina and Woody left to go to the hospital, and Dr. Fox was left to think about what had happened.

"I can't believe it", Dr. Fox said, "my own invention hurt one of my closest friends."

Dr. Fox got up and walked into her lab.

"It's time to make some changes", Dr. Fox said.

The next day, Woody, who was wearing a cast that had Rosalina, Sarah, Jasmine, and Stocking Head's signatures on it, was sitting down with them for breakfast.

"We sure are glad you're okay, Woody", Sarah said, "we'd hate for anything bad to happen to you."

"Thanks", Woody said.

Then, Dr. Fox walked in wearing a white tank top, blue chiffon wrap skirt, white tights, and pink pointe shoes.

"Morning, guys", Dr. Fox said.

The others were quick to take notice of this change of wardrobe.

"Hey, Doc", Stocking Head said, "what's with the getup?"

"I'm taking a ballet class", Dr. Fox said.

"Ballet, huh", Jasmine asked, "what made you pursue that?"

"It's my new hobby", Dr. Fox said, "I'm giving up science."

The others were shocked to hear this.

"Giving up science", Sarah asked.

"Why", Stocking Head asked.

"It was my invention that got Woody hurt", Dr. Fox said, "I can't let that happen again."

"Fox, I've already told you, it's okay", Woody said, "it wasn't your fault."

"Well, it feels like it", Dr. Fox said, "and I just don't forgive myself."

Dr. Fox grabbed a duffel bag and walked out of the house.

"Maybe we better follow her", Rosalina said, "see if she's really okay."

"Good idea, boss", Woody said.

Rosalina, Woody, Stocking Head, Sarah, and Jasmine went over to the dance studio, where Dr. Fox was dancing with a bunch of other dancers.

"Look at her", Rosalina said, "so out of place."

"Yeah", Stocking Head said, "she just doesn't look like she belongs in there."

Dr. Fox then tripped and caused herself and some other dancers to topple over like dominoes.

"It even shows", Sarah said.

"We've got to show her that science really is her passion", Rosalina said.

"But how", Woody asked.

Rosalina thought for a moment, and came up with something.

"I've got it", Rosalina said.

Later that day, Dr. Fox was practicing her dancing, when Sarah walked in with a textbook.

"Hey, Dr. Fox", Sarah said, "could I get your help with some homework?"

"Sure", Dr. Fox said, "what is it?"

"Well", Sarah said, "why can you see the moon at day."

"Well, you see", Dr. Fox said, "since the moon rotates around the earth, it..."

It didn't take long for her to realize what was happening.

"Nice try, Sarah", Dr. Fox said, "I've given up science, so you won't be getting anymore scientific facts out of me."

Dr. Fox walked away from her.

"Dang it", Sarah said.

Next, Woody and Stocking Head were building a robot.

"Almost done", Stocking Head said, "pretty soon, our robot will be complete."

Dr. Fox walked in, and Woody began speaking louder.

"Gee", Woody said, "I hope we're doing it right."

Dr. Fox just ignored them and walked away.

"That didn't work at all", Stocking Head said.

"This is going to be harder than we thought", Woody said.

Lastly, Jasmine was mixing together some chemicals.

"There we go", Jasmine said, "this potion is going to be amazing."

Dr. Fox noticed her.

"I just wish I knew what I was mixing", Jasmine said.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you", Dr. Fox said.

"Why not", Jasmine said.

"Keep mixing and you'll find out", Dr. Fox said.

Jasmine continued mixing, and some green smoke came out of the container.

"That did something", Jasmine said.

Jasmine smelled it, but quickly covered her nose.

"Oh no", Jasmine said, "it's a stink bomb!"

Later, everyone (minus Dr. Fox) was having a meeting.

"Can you hear us, Jasmine", Rosalina asked.

Jasmine was outside, due to her smelling foul because of the stink bomb.

"Loud and clear, Mom", Jasmine said.

"Great", Rosalina said, "nothing we've been doing is working."

"I'll say", Woody said, "she didn't even help us with our robot."

"She could've at least told me what those chemicals I was mixing were going to make", Jasmine said.

"Well, we have to keep trying", Rosalina said, "I know she feels bad, but we can't just let her give up something she loves."

"She's right", Stocking Head said.

Then, Dr. Fox walked in.

"Hey, Doc", Sarah said, "getting better?"

"Sort of", Dr. Fox said.

"Good for you", Jasmine said.

Dr. Fox walked away, but dropped her duffel bag, and the others noticed science books fall out of it.

"What's this", Woody asked.

Woody picked up a book and examined the book.

"This is a science book", Woody said.

Dr. Fox scrambled to pick up the book.

"What's going on", Rosalina asked.

Dr. Fox just sighed in defeat, realizing that the jig was up.

"Okay", Dr. Fox said, "I just can't give up science."

"You can't", Sarah asked.

"No", Dr. Fox said, "no matter how hard I try, I just can't give it up."

"Well, maybe this is a sign", Rosalina said.

"A sign of what", Dr. Fox asked.

"A sign that maybe science really is for you", Rosalina said.

Dr. Fox thought about this for a second.

"I guess you're right", Dr. Fox said, "maybe I should just be happy with being a scientist."

The others cheered, happy to have her back.

"Welcome back, Doc", Stocking Head said.

The next morning, everyone was having breakfast, when Dr. Fox walked in wearing her normal outfit.

"Morning, guys", Dr. Fox said.

"Morning", Rosalina said.

"Glad to have you back", Stocking Head said.

"Well, almost", Sarah said.

Everyone noticed that Dr. Fox was still wearing her pointe shoes.

"Oh, the shoes", Dr. Fox said, "I like how they feel on my feet."

Dr. Fox stood on her toes and tried to twirl, but fell over.

"Right", Dr. Fox said, "maybe dancing isn't my thing."

The End
