The Masquerade

It’s time for the school’s annual New Year’s Masquerade and Tom Thomas wonders what costume he should wear. Nolik suggests he should go as a Fixie! Tom Thomas makes a blue Fixie costume that looks like Nolik, but as Fire, Digit, Verda and Toola each appear one at a time, they want Tom Thomas to include some aspect of their own look into his costume: Fire’s red hair, Digit’s purple glasses, Verda’s green pack-o-mat, and Toola’s yellow curls. Tom Thomas leaves for the masquerade and Simka appears. She becomes horrified when she learns about the costume because when he has to explain to everyone at the party what he is dressed as, the secret of the Fixies’ existence will be exposed! The Fixie kids admit the error of their ways and worriedly wait for Tom Thomas to return. Tom Thomas returns a few hours later very happy – his costume won first prize! The Fixies are in a panic, but when Tom Thomas embarrassedly shows his certificate, the Fixies mood abruptly changes to laughter. Tom Thomas knew he couldn’t tell anyone at school what he was really dressed as, so he told them he was a robotic toucan! Everyone starts happily dancing and chirping like robotic toucans ready to celebrate the New Year.
