The next day, Cruz's flight landed in Washington, D.C., after thirteen hours, and he met his Aunt Marisol, and they discussed the coded postcard Aunt Marisol mailed to him. It usually comforted Cruz, but that night, it hurt. Cruz then opened a holo-dome video which showed a day at the beach with his mother, his father behind the camera. The letter wished Cruz a very happy birthday, and that he could do anything he set his mind to. The pin was a voice command remote for Mell.Īfterwards, Cruz's father came into his room, holding an envelope that contained a letter from Cruz's late mother, Petra Coronado, which was supposed to be given on his thirteenth birthday.
Mell’s drone eyes flashed from black to gold, indicating it was now on. Clipping the pin on his shirt, Cruz said, “Mell, on,”. It was a gift from his father when Cruz had gotten hurt and couldn’t surf, so that Cruz could see the bay even if he couldn’t surf. The package contained “it”, which turned out to be a honeycomb pin. Opening it, Cruz found a note from her saying that she had made “it” and now Cruz could control Mell anytime and at a range of 4000 feet. Lani had been disappointed, but she supported Cruz’s decision to go alone.īack at the shop, Cruz’s father said that Lani had been by. Cruz and Lani had planned to go to the Academy together, but only Cruz could. The Academy sent him a letter saying that he had been chosen as part of the 24 students. Out of all the applicants, the Academy would choose only 24 students. He knew his father was reluctant to let him go to Explorer Academy and was sure to change his mind if Cruz was in danger, so he lied, saying he snagged it on a coral.Įarlier, his friend Leilani Kealoha (or Lani, as Cruz calls her) had applied to Explorer Academy. Later, in his father’s surf equipment shop named Goofy Foot, he realized that the diver had cut his ankle. Cruz got out of the water to see the diver swimming away. The diver then let go of Cruz’s foot to set the pipe. His foot hit the diver’s breathing pipe and dislodged it. Thinking it was a shark, he kicked it and tried to swim to the surface.
