Algebra 2 Christmas Story - "Ticking Clock During Christmas"

Ticking Clock During Christmas On a normal day for Vertex, a very unusual incident happened. This never happened before in the past ten years. The clock was ticking so fast and as a result, Christmas day is getting closer faster than how it should really be. “What’s happening?” Vertex yelled not knowing that he is not the only one who noticed the clock. Instead, the entire town did. Everyone in the town was so scared that they didn’t know what to do. Vertex then finally decided to go find a definite and accurate solution. He asked their town’s chief, Polynomial Function, for the best advice he can give to Vertex so that the time will rotate normal again. Polynomial Function advised him, “Our town had been cursed by unknown witch ever since. It occurs every ten years. In order to break that curse, you must find all the six presents that are scattered around here, in our city. You have to complete the six presents or else Christmas will go by fast that we won’t even feel it. You are our only chance Vertex. Please do everything you can to bring back our time. You are our only chance to celebrate Christmas joyfully.” Vertex realized that Christmas is very important to all of the people and he wouldn’t allow the time to go by fast in this holiday. He decided to ask some of his friends, Kandi and Lolli, to help him with this mission. His friends agreed to help Vertex because they realized that Christmas is Jesus Christ’s birthday and all the people would be happy if they bring the time back. Vertex, Kandi, and Lolli started their mission by looking for the very first present. Polynomial Function gave them a map on where to find these presents. First stop is the basketball court. The gamekeeper of the court has the first gift. But in order for Vertex and his friends to get that from the gamekeeper, they have to shoot three numbers of parabolas into the basketball ring. First attempt was shot by Lolli.
