logical, yes... dramatic...no. i totally agree with you there, but the point had to be made.
i think that she will be the one to rescue her... though, with Shelly possibly still sitting on the rocks outside the Library from the previous night (quite possibly that's WHY Nudge took the path she did thru the halls to get to that specific window), and seeing Nudge falling out of control "to her doom" ** Shelly's Guardian instincts will kick in and fly to the rescue as well... those two may even bump heads
(like in a baseball comedy) because they are EACH so focused on the "get to Nudge before she hits the ground" thought, that they "tune out" their surroundings... and hilarity ensues when Nudge bounces (like a
Bumble) with NO damage at all!and didn't even NEED "rescuing" in the first place
** unless Shelly was looking directly at that specific window when Nudge JUMPED out of the window, Shelly would only have become aware of it when the SOUND of the breaking glass hit her ears, then her reaction times for her to turn to see WHAT it was and recognize Nudge, would have allowed enough time for her to have fallen at least a few feet. THEN Phix shows up in the window frame...
Shelly may make the assumption that Phix THREW HER out the window... and goes to "save" Nudge, getting more angry all the time and start yelling at Phix later, only to be stopped cold in her wrath by Phix blathering on about why Nudge JUMPED out instead... they BOTH get one of "those looks" and turn in unison to Nudge... and Hilarity ensues...
