//------------------------------// // The First Clue // Story: Blues Clues: A Christmas to Remember // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// The two were looking for the clues as they passed a bookshelf. Then one of the books came off the shelf and turns out it had a pawprint on it meaning it's a clue! "Hmm. I wonder what present you can get Spike?" Steve asked. "I wonder the same thing Steve." Rarity noted. "A clue! A clue!" The reader told them. "No I can't give Spike a clue for Christmas. He deserves something more special since I'm his girlfriend." Rarity responded. "No a clue!" The reader replied. "Oh! Oh you see a clue!" Steve now noticed. "You see a clue? Where darlings?" Rarity asked. "It's right there." The reader told them. The two looked and saw the book on the ground. "Oh! There's a clue! And it's on this book." Steve said. "So my Christmas present has something to do with a book?" Rarity asked. "That's right Rarity. Now let's draw this in our handy dandy...." Steve smiled. "Notebook!!" The reader answered. "Notebook! Right!" Steve said as he and Rarity got their notebooks out. "So a book." The two began drawing the clue. "First a rectangle for the cover, and then some lines for the back. And then a few more to represent the pages and there a book." Steve replied. "Wonderful drawing. So were trying to figure out what Christmas present I can give Spike. And the first clue was a book." Rarity said as the image flew above her. "So what Christmas present can I get Spike with a book?" They kept thinking about it but were stumped. "What do you think? Yeah I think we better find two more clues to figure this out." Steve noted. "Steve. Can you help me?" A voice rang. "That sounded like Tickety Tock. Let's see what she needs." Steve said. The two made their way to the table where they see a pink clock trying to do something with folded paper. "Hi Tickety." Steve introduced. "Hey Steve. Hey Rarity." Tickety introduced back. "How do you know my name darling?" Rarity asked. "Easy. Spike told me all about you. Anyways I need help. I'm trying to make paper snowflakes and I can't remember what shape to cut on each one. Can you help?" Tickety asked. "Would you help Tickety figure out what shape she can cut? Terrific. Alright Tickety we can help you." Steve answered. "Thanks. The first one I want to cut is a round shape." Tickety said. "Do you know what shape is round?" Steve asked. "A circle!" The reader answered. "Yeah! A circle! Cause circles are round! Good work!" Steve complimented. Then Tickety cut out many circles and presented the first snowflake. Now time for the second one. "Ok the second one I want to cut is a shape with four equal sides." Tickety replied. "Can you figure out what shape has four equal sides?" Steve asked. "A square!" The reader answered. "Yeah! A square! And you know that's Joe's favorite shape of all. Nice job!" Steve smiled. Then Tickety cut out many squares and presented the second snowflake. Now on to the final one. "Ok the final shape for the last snowflake I want to cut is a three sided shape." Tickety responded. "Do you know what shape is three sided?" Steve asked. "A triangle!" The reader answered. "Oh yeah. A triangle. Cause that has three sides. Nice work!" Steve said. Then Tickety cut out many triangles and represented the final snowflake. And finally all three snowflakes were completed. "The snowflakes! They're all done! Thanks for your help!" Tickety replied. "You're welcome. Happy Holidays." Steve smiled. "Hey Steve. We still need to find two more clues so I can figure out what Christmas present I can give Spike." Rarity reminded him. "Oh your absolutely right. Let's go." Steve said as they headed off to find the next two clues to get the answer.
