Houston, Texas…. Home of Apollo 13 and all the other …space foragers you know…blah blah blah. My sister, Zyoni, is the bookworm with glasses sitting in front of me. ..
Me? My name is Za’Niyah. And yup i have my feet on the desk and yup im looking out the window, so you know I’m not the bookworm ..guess im the rebel.
“Za’Niyah, would you mind telling the class what islands are located in the Gulf of Mexico.
“Not particularly, Mr. Watson.” Zyoni’s hand went up.
“Zyoni, put your hand down. Za’Niyah, I will not—“
“Zyoni and Za’Niyah Moon. Please report to the office.”
I put my feet down and kept looking at two UFOs. Both crescent shapes, the size of two man fighter jets. If you know what a f-16 is, then you get it, but more hi-tech looking.
Zyoni got up before me and spat out “Cuba, Jamaica, —
I grabbed her hand. “Lets go you know Dad is here”
We walked past Mr. Watson who looked at both of us with the same disdain. Me for my attitude. Zyoni for her…arrogance or something. We were out the door.
“….Haiti, Virgin isl”
“Yes yes everyone knows how smart you are.” I said. Looking at my arm with our crest glowing.
“Oh is it those darn smurfs. I thought I felt something in there.”
Mr. Watson yelled out something about us not getting away with this. Little did he know we were being excused to deal with the two ufo he couldn’t see. That no one could see.
We walked into the office where my adopted dad was waiting. The principal, Zyoni’s adopted mother, was standing there with her arms crossed.
“I can’t let them keep missing school…it shows…favoritism. It’s illegal . They only have two excuse days left.”
“So why do we let the smurfs continue to spy on Houston? Texas, The country. The world.”
“You’re being dramatic.”
“Your being dismissi— GIRLS”
“Hey dad, so the Smurf’s are back at it.”
“Hey baby. You know it. Why don’t you send them back to Uranus.”
“Because they are a pain” we both laughed. Zyoni and her mom stared at us. They didn’t get our humor. It’s the wine of the few things we actually got along on. He said puberty is taking his baby girl away. That is not true.
“If you’re done joking, get your butts up there. “
“You know we’re on it!” Zyoni said. We went into her office and rubbed our crest. Purple light surrounded us as we faded away. Both our parents bickering at each other. We materialized on the roof and Zyoni walked to the right and me, the left. As I approached the wide area that would encompass the gym area. I put my hands together and made three quick movements of my fingers. A purple jet materialized from nothing as if it was cloaked. My Chawing was a small raptor style jet with purple wings and purple nose hood.
As the jet levitated me up , I looked at my sister who was already in hers that was orange. Instead of purple. She gave me a thumbs up. I put on the mask and looked at her and gave her the same thumbs up.
“Open the wings” both of our jets hover over the school. The wings had vertical panels that extended upward. Thrusters appeared. “Check your mana level, sis.”
“All systems go.”
“2 on 2…..Let’s show them why coming to Houston is a problem.”
