There's many lessons he would learn in the coming years. Many lessons he would have to learn. There's many hard  lessons he would learn in the coming years. Many hard lessons he would have to learn. It was not to long ago that he learned a very valuable lesson, that he would keep with him and remember always, granted he would only as long as his memory stayed intact. 

It was a hard lesson to learn but a needed one. It was a lesson he needed to learn. It was a hard lesson he needed to learn. Did he fully learn? Maybe. Maybe not. It's Rex. It takes a while to learn hard learn lessons. If he fully learns then it is totally dependent on what that hard lesson was. What was this lesson? This lesson was in listening. Doing what you're told. That parents, guardians, adults, or whatever knew what they were talking about. Kinda knew best.    A lesson in that he should listen to Six and Holiday, that if they told him not to do something, he should not do that something.

It was a normal day of training. Rex and Six were in the petting zoo currently, instead of one of the training rooms. Rex was practicing with his builds. He was working on his jet pack. A new build he just recently discovered how to make. He dubbed it the 'Boogie Pack.' Six and Holiday didn't take to the name but whatever. The name wasn't important. The pack was still unstable and fell apart when ever Rex tried to build it... but he was trying.  This time it was actually staying together. He even had some lift off. Once he had that he wanted to see how high he could take it. Six was against it, Rex ignored him. He kept going. Don't worry I got this. He waved the man off. Six reached out to grab the kid but Rex brushed him off. It'll be fine, right?

He reached a height of like fifty, terrifying, feet. Not scared himself but the onlookers were worried. The engine sputtered and started to smoke. Quickly the boogie pack fell apart. He dropped screaming in a pile of scrap. He hit the ground and bounced with stomach turning crunches and screams. No. It wouldn't be fine, nope.  He should have listened to Six.
