"Will this sprout some sort of high-tech wings if I fall?" I asked, as I was going up.

"No," Trivia replied from the ground. She was turning smaller and smaller with each inch I was going up. Or I was growing bigger and bigger. It was hard to tell.

"So... you're making me go on this wire, and if I fall, then I might die?" I asked. "How did you even get permission to use it? Where's all the safety precautions?"

"This belongs to the Crowns!" Trivia shouted at me.

"But-"

"Just stop asking questions and go up!"

With that, I stopped asking Trivia questions. Instead, I turned up to Pay, to ask him the rest of my questions. Until he yelled at me to stop talking to him. I turned back to Trivia to talk, but she silenced me before I said anything.

That's how I spent my time while waiting for the wire to pull me upward. A few seconds after I turned silent, I reached the top of the glass dome. The glass was very foggy, because when I put my finger on it and took it off, my fingerprint and shape remained there.

Using my sleeve, I wiped off my fingerprint from the glass. I had to make sure no one could use that against me and capture me.

I put my forehead against the glass, trying to see what was outside. Because from where I stood, all I could see were the reflections of everything in the museum.

There was a lot of darkness, probably because it was night. Oh, there are some lights! Those were coming from the streets. So were the shadow people! No, wait... those are regular, non-shadow people. Nevermind.

"Uh, the nocturnal people are entering the museum, I think," I pointed out. Looking back through the window, I added more observations. "Or, I think they are. They seem to be getting out a key, and putting in the password at the side of the door. Now they're-"

"Target, I thought I made this clear already: STOP TALKING!" Trivia yelled.

"You told me to stop talking to you. But I'm talking to myself, so-"

But Trivia wasn't listening anymore. She was looking at her compact mirror and putting on something on her lips. Was it lipstick or lipgloss? I couldn't tell from up here.

"Fine Lemonhead," I muttered.

Following Pay, who started to lift one side of the dome, I tried to help him lift the other side. Except I couldn't, because the dome was about three feet away from where I was hanging. To make things worse, I didn't know how to move in the air.

It wouldn't be easy to get over there.

Trying to swim in the air, I tried to push myself towards the dome. That ended up not getting anywhere. There I was in the middle of the air, trying to do swimming strokes out of water.

My next idea was that I would be flying all the way over there. Except I didn't know how to fly. Which meant that plan wouldn't work.

Or maybe I did know how to fly, but I've never tried it before, which meant that I thought I didn't know how to fly but could actually fly. Except I wasn't sure of that myself, so I decided it would be better to check with someone first.

"Hey Pay, can I fly?" I asked Pay, who was struggling to lift up the dome by himself.

"When you learn how to stop talking so much, and do your job," he replied.

"So... is that a yes?"

Pay turned to face me. "Just get to the side and help me lift this, unless you'd like to go to jail."

"I'm trying to! But I can't! I need to know how to fly to get all the way there!" I pointed to the part of the dome on the right.

"The dome needs to be opened in three minutes. The night-shift workers are currently entering and turning on security," Trivia reported from her phone. She'd put away her makeup and I'm pretty sure she was starting to take selfies of herself to post on her socials.

"I'm trying! But I need to know how to fly!"

No one listened. Pay wasn't helping me learn how to fly. Trivia didn't hear me from up here, or she did because she had super powers like Pay, but just chose to ignore me. Either one was possible given my situation.

There I was: suspended in mid-air, with no one to give me flying lessons. I was supposed to open the dome from the other side of the glass, the side opposite from where Pay was trying to open the unlocked dome.

Oh, and the fact that the night shift workers could discover us here trying to steal a giant elephant that was currently attached to my wire. Not a lot of pressure, right?

Only one thing would do, the closest thing I could get instead of flying lessons: swinging.

So, I started to wing back and forth, moving my legs forward and backward. It was slow at first, but got faster and faster each time I kicked the air in front of me. The elephant statue followed my lead, except it was three seconds slower than I was. The higher and faster I swung, the closer I got to reaching my side of the glass dome.

Cheering to myself, I exclaimed, "I'm doing it!"

No one around me noticed or seemed to care that I was (I think) the first human on the planet to fly without using a machine or vehicle.

I kicked once more, nearly missing Pay's head. Pay noticed me coming towards him, and didn't flinch when my foot landed an inch away from his head. He just rolled his eyes and went back to trying to carry the glass dome.

When the glass came into view, I grabbed the ledge. However, the elephant I was carrying didn't stop with me. Instead, it went all the way up to the glass dome, and smash!

Glass shards started to fall from the crack, all the way to the ground where Trivia was standing.

Either way, the elephant just opened the dome for us.

"See! I do know how to fly!" I shouted down in triumph. "I was right!"

"What did you just do-" Pay looked at the broken glass dome in disbelief. The glass from it was currently raining inside the museum.

"Literally NO ONE CARES TARGET!" Trivia shouted back to me. She seemed to be trying to avoid the glass rain. She looked back at me and shouted. "AND I AM GOING TO-"

All of a sudden, the room blinked in red, sirens filling the dark room where glass was pouring. Two of the shadow people I saw outside were now standing at the doorway, they're eyes widened. One of their hands was on the handle of the alarm, which was pulled all the way down.

I was pretty sure the handle had been facing up when I entered the room.

Sirens blared in the room which used to be in a gray tint. Now it was dancing along with the red lights. Not to mention the raining glass, flying elephant, and the broken dome. Along with that, the Shadow-People had watched us as we were doing all of this.

We had just been caught.
