Chaos on Campus

By Wendy Olson

 

Mojo the little black kitty here once again to tell a new story about my sailor senshi, The Zodiac Senshi. The rest of the school year was free of anything evil. The girls did very well in all of their classes. Summer break came and everyone went home for it. I didn’t want to leave my Wicca. I did anyway. I have to watch Mindy and Wendy.

It was nice to be back home in Colorado. The Gemini girls called the Star brothers almost every night. This really made their parents angry. Colorado to England is not the cheapest of phone calls. I missed Wicca and all of the other girls. I knew that I would see them again. Everyone would go back to the International University in the fall.

Once fall came around my girls and I were ready to go back to Tokyo. The flight was not that fun for me. I had to be in a crate in the bottom of the plane. If only I could turn into my human form for just the flight. I could sit with my girls and eat peanuts.

We arrived to the Tokyo airport after quite a few hours. In the airport we met Benny and Wicca. Wicca and I were in the crates but that was enough for me. She smiled and purred. I was so happy to see her.

It didn’t take very long to get to the school. We had the same dorm room as before. I stayed with Mindy and Wendy while they unpacked. They unpacked as swiftly as possibly. I could tell they were anxious to see their boyfriends.

"Ready!" Wendy yelled to Mindy.

"Oh, yeah. Mojo are you coming?" asked Mindy.

"Yeah, then I want to see Wicca." I stated.

"Of course you do." The twins laughed. We walked very fast to the boys’ dorm room. The girls knocked on the door but no one answered.

"That’s funny. I know Percy told me they were coming back yesterday." Wendy said with a confused tone.

Mindy tried the doorknob. It turned and the door opened. Inside was luggage that hadn’t been unpacked yet. That must have meant they were here at some point. The most odd was what was sitting on the brothers’ beds. On Hank’s bed was a gray wolf and on Percy’s bed was a red fox. The animals just started at us. Deep in their eyes I could see sadness.

"When did Percy and Hank get pets?" I whispered. The girls both shrugged their shoulders.

Wendy went into the room. Mindy and I followed. Wendy said, "Well, I’m going to leave a note." She found some paper and wrote a note. The wolf and fox just kept staring at us. It almost seemed like they had something to say. After Wendy was done with the note we left. The animals were creeping me out.

"Mojo. I need to talk to you. It’s important." A voice said on my communicator. I looked and saw it was Lee.

"What is it Lee?" I asked.

"I’m at your dorm room. I’ll tell you everything once you get here." She said. The girls and I then ran back to our room. Inside our room was Lee and Boots. Both had worried looks on their faces.

"Some strange things have happened while you were gone. Not everyone went home for break. Well, we live here so we are always home. Anyway, students have been disappearing. Also, strange animals have been appearing all over the school." Lee informed us.

"What does that mean?" asked Mindy.

"We don’t know. Lee has tried using Esa’s computer she left, but we can’t figure it out." Boots said.

"What do you mean by strange animals?" Wendy questioned. While she spoke I saw a giraffe run past our door.

"That’s not normal." I said under my breath.

"There have been animals not normally here running around the school. Have you seen them yet?" Lee told us.

"Well, I just saw a giraffe run past the door plus there was a wolf and fox in the Star brother’s room earlier today." I said.

"That’s right." The twins said in unison.

"Where are the students going? And where are the animals coming from? Do you think it is a new enemy?" I asked. The four didn’t seem to know.

"I’m going to try and reach Perseus on the communicator." Wendy said. We had given all of the constellations their own communicator watches. Wendy tried and all that came up was static.

"Maybe Hercules has his on." Mindy stated as she tired to reach her boyfriend. Once again all that happened was static.

"Is there anyone else back yet?" questioned Boots.

"Yes, Benny and Wicca are here." I answered. Lee tried them on her communicator.

After a few seconds Benny’s face was on the screen. "Okay, am I the only one who has noticed that there is something weird going on here. I just saw a kangaroo in the parking lot. I know I’m not in New York, but I didn’t think those where in Japan either." He then laughed a little.

"We don’t know what’s going on. Please come to the Twin’s room." Lee told him. It didn’t take very long for Benny and Wicca to get to the room. I rubbed on Wicca and she kissed my nose.

Lee filled them in. "Where is Perseus. I’m worried." Wendy held back her tears.

"Don’t worry. I’m sure their fine and you’re just paranoid." Mindy comforted her.

"Bootes why don’t you try and find them. You should be able to locate all constellations." Wicca explained.

"Once it is night I will." He retorted. We talked the rest of the day about what was happening. No one had an idea of what to do.

After nightfall we all headed for the park. Boots changed into his constellation form and then looked to the sky. "That’s funny." He said after a while.

"What?" the rest of us said together.

He pointed to the stars and said, "That is where Perseus should be. Instead there is a fox. And over there is where Hercules in normally and he is replaced by a wolf.

"What does that mean? Mindy and Wendy said in unison.

"I don’t know. When does everyone else get back?" Bootes asked.

"Tomorrow Esa, Kelly and Hunter get back." Lee answered.

"Well, hopefully they can help." I said. We all went back to our dorm rooms to sleep. Mindy and Wendy didn’t sleep. They tossed and turned all night.

"There had to be a connection between the disappearances and the animals. What about the stars? Where could the boys be?" I thought to myself before I drifted into sleep.
