Melody participates in the qualifying exam to be part of the trivia competition and once again surprises everyone when she makes the team. Melody then helps the team win the qualifying competition to win a trip to Washington, D.C. for the national competition. However, on the day the group is to fly to Washington, Melody learns her flight has been canceled due to weather, but the rest of the team has made an earlier flight without her. She is devastated and filled with anger "How could they do this to me? Why didn’t they call me? Why didn’t they tell me about breakfast?"Her team got the early flight because they went to breakfast and didn't invite her. This scene takes place at the airport. This scene is important because she feels bad about her disability, they didn't invite her because she would "slow" her team down. This scene creates conflict. Why would Sharon draper put  this scene in the book? Why couldn't she end this scene with a happy ever after for the sick kid?
