chapter 2

Heavyload had gotten everything ready for Wedge. It was perfect now all they had to do was pick up the kid from the hospital. Heavyload's parents were proud of him for taking responsibility of a child. They were glad his friends were going to help him since Heavyload wasn't married and only 20.

Once at the hospital the doctor gave Wedge to Heavyload. "He's very healthy," the doctor told him. "Call if there are any problems." he told him.

"I will thank you." Heavyload said. Then took Wedge home.

A few months had passed. Wedge was now 7 months old. He was very sweet and bright. The doctor gave Wedge a check up. "Very healthy child." he said.

Wedge was smart for his age. He picked up a lot of things that took most sparklings longer to learn.

Now a year old Wedge was very bright. He figured out how to walk before the other sparklings in his daycare. He even knew how to talk. Wedge learned how to talk even better than most sparklings his age.

Sometimes Grimlock and Hightower came over and they were amazed by his smarts.

Today they were visiting the little two year old. "Daddy may I have a cookie please?" Wedge asked.

"Of course." Heavyload said.

"That was impressive a whole sentence in proper English." Grimlock said.

"Yes smart little fella." Hightower said.

"Excuse me Grimlock and Hightower may you please get my blocks?" Wedge asked.

"Oh sure." Grimlock said and got the box of blocks.

Wedge started to build a tower. It was great it looked like a building. "Wow that is some neat block building." Hightower said.

"Yes he is smart check this out." Heavyload said. He handed Wedge the cookie. "Wedge what shape is the cookie?" he asked him.

"Circle," Wedge said.

"What shape is this?" Hightower asked holding a triangle block.

"Triangle." Wedge said.

"He knows other things too." Heavyload said. "Wedge what is 4 times 4?" he asked.

"Sixteen." Wedge said.

"Wedge what is 10 + 30?" Grimlock asked.

"Forty." Wedge answered.

"How many numbers does he know?" Hightower asked.

"He knows all they way up to 100." Heavyload bragged.

"Wow," Grimlock said.

"Wedge can you sing us the Alphabet?" Heavyload asked.

"A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X, and Z now I sung my ABCs next time won't you sing with me." Wedge said.

"That is impressive." Hightower said.

"He can spell too." Heavyload said.

"Wedge what does B-R-E-A-D spell?' Grimlock asked.

"Bread." Wedge said.

"He can read books for children too." Heavyload said. He handed Wedge a book.

Wedge read it from cover to cover.

Grimlock and Hightower were even more impressed with Wedge than before. "He's the smartest toddler I ever met." Hightower said.

"Yeah he's even potty trained." Heavyload said.

"He can use the potty?" Hightower asked.

"Yep," Heavyload said.

"Daddy I need to go potty." Wedge said.

"Okay let's go," Heavyload said.

"Maybe you should have him tested." Grimlock said after they came back.

"Way ahead of you." Heavyload. "Wedge is getting tested tomorrow to see if he is ready to learn more." Heavyload said.

The next day Wedge went through the Kindergarten learning test like it was no trouble at all. Then went through the first grade testing it was amazing Wedge did great on that too. Wedge did great.

"This toddler is smart as second grader." the femme said.

"I know pretty cool." Heavyload said.

"He's gifted." the mech said. "I believe he's ready for school. Once he's potty trained of course." the mech said.

"He is, it took him no time at all." Heavyload said.

"Wow," they said.

Soon Wedge would start school. This was going to be interesting.
