Hi
Kiki. After school lessons were over with today, Shizuyo, Yuko and I went straight
to the high school section to talk to the boys about our bit of excitement
yesterday.
“The
boys will not believe this” said Shizuyo.
“They
will believe once they see our little friend” said Yuko. She had the B.G.S. in
her schoolbag.
When
the boys saw us on the school ground they ran up to us right away. “We heard
stories about the janitor of your section saw a ghost yesterday, is that true?”
said Kouhei. The story of the janitor seeing a ghost yesterday spread through
the whole school.
“Well
the janitor did see something, but it wasn’t a ghost” said Yuko. She opened up
her school bag and the B.G.S. jumped out.
“Oh
god!” gasped Tatsuya.
“What
is that?!” gasped Hiroshi.
“We
do not know what it is,” I said “we just call it a B.G.S. because it bounces, glows
and squeaks”. The B.G.S. started to bounce and squeak in happiness.
“Okay,”
said Hiroshi, dumbfounded, “I take it doesn’t talk huh?”
“Only
squeaks,” answered Yuko “but it seems to understand what we are saying though.
When we told it to stay put in the janitor’s closet and to keep quiet it did as
it was told. And when we talked to it, it squeaked in response”.
“You
girls really don’t know what it is?” said Kouhei. He couldn’t stop staring at
it and began touching it.
“As
it looks like a mixture of a jellyfish and octopus, it’s hard to make out what
it really is,” said Shizuyo “not to mention it doesn’t need to stay in water to
survive like actual jellyfish and octopuses”. The boys thought this was strange
indeed.
“There
is only one way to solve this,” said Tatsuya “we ask it questions”. Tatsuya
kneeled down on the ground to talk to the B.G.S. “Okay little guy, I am going
to ask you some questions. So I want you to squeak once to answer yes and
squeak twice to answer no. Do you understand?” The B.G.S. squeaked once,
meaning it did understand.
“See
I told you it can understand what we are saying” said Yuko.
Tatsuya
started to ask questions. “Okay do you live in the sea?” he said. The B.G.S.
squeaked twice for no. “Alright what about living in a lake, pond or a forest?”
The B.G.S. squeaked no.
“Maybe
he lives in outer space or something” said Kouhei. We thought Kouhei was just
joking but the B.G.S. squeaked once for yes.
We
couldn’t believe it Kiki. This B.G.S. was an alien? I didn’t know what to think
of that; everyone knows aliens don’t really exist in the real world.
Tatsuya
went back to questioning. “Okay so you’re from outer space, are there are many
more like you up there?” The B.G.S. squeaked yes; another unbelievable answer.
I
stepped forward to talk to the B.G.S. “Did you come here to earth yourself or
are your friends here with you?” I asked. The B.G.S. squeaked no and then yes.
“I
reckon that means this thing didn’t come here itself,” said Hiroshi “did you
girls see another look alike of this thing when you found it?”
“No
we didn’t,” said Yuko “I reckon this B.G.S. got separated from its friends when
it arrived here. It’s always like that in the science fiction stories; strange
creatures or something coming to the planet earth and getting lost from each
other”.
“If
that’s true then this little guy’s friends must be scattered somewhere outside
the school” I said.
“Oh
that’s great,” said Shizuyo “what shall we do now?”
“Well
we should not tell the teachers this;” said Kouhei “because the teachers will
call scientists to come and take our little friend away from us. And those
scientists will use and might dissect it for experiments, and we’ll never see
it again”.
“I’m
certainly not having anyone take this B.G.S. away from me” said Yuko, picking
it up and giving it a hug. All of us started to shudder at the thought of our
little friend being taken away from us and we were never going to see it ever
again.
“If
there are any more of these weird alien things, we should go look for them
before somebody else finds them or they’ll be sent to science labs” said Kouhei.
“I
agree with you Kouhei,” said Yuko “it’s not fair that we have only found one
B.G.S. and the others haven’t been rescued yet. Besides this little guy will
want help of finding its friends, don’t you little guy?” The B.G.S. squeaked
yes.
We
stared at each other for a second. “Okay then,” said Hiroshi, at last, “its
official we are going on a hunt for little aliens”. We started to laugh a bit.
“Hold
on a minute,” said Shizuyo “how should we start looking for these little
aliens?”
“Easy
Shizuyo,” I said “as we found our little friend here at school, the other
little aliens couldn’t be that far from here. So we’ll start looking around the
school and outside the school grounds and then we’ll go to places near the
school”.
“I
guess that makes sense” said Shizuyo.
“Okay
everyone we start searching for the little aliens on Saturday sharp” said
Tatsuya. We all agreed.
“One
more thing;” I spoke up “apart from never telling the teachers about our
discovery, we must not let any other students find out about this. And we most
especially not let that student Kazuko find out because she will just tell on
us to the teachers about our friend”.
“Not
to mention she wouldn’t care at all of how sad we will become once our friend
is taken away from us” finished Yuko.
“Our
high school head disciplinarian student Masato Nii is no better either; he
likes tattling too” said Kouhei.
We all agreed to never tell anyone about our friend the B.G.S. and about our
quest of searching for its friends.
So
Kiki this was our start of searching for more little aliens like our friend the
B.G.S. I hate to admit it, but I do feel like the girls, boys and I have just
started our own science fiction story life, even though it sounds really
ridiculous and impossible. I knew yesterday was just the beginning of a strange
science fiction story life for us and I feel more weird days are yet to come.
