Story Four: Goodbye for Now

The season had begun to change from summer to fall, which meant it was time to return back to Earth for school.

"Do we have to leave?" complained Juliet, holding out the word, 'leave'.

"I'm sorry, Juliet, but we have to go back to school." said Mimi.

"Fine. I'm going to go tell Mr. time goodbye then. At least let me do that." retorted Juliet.

Time, or Mr. T, for short, was the overseer of Symica. He controls all, including time and weather.

"Sure, but be back by sundown" stated Mimi.

"Symica doesn't get sundown? It's always sunny here, Doofus."

"Now you can't go anywhere." sternly said Mimi, now agitated.

"I was just kidding! Ha ha ha! It was a funny, y'know. A rib-tickler? A side-splitter? Lol." lied Juliet, trying to play it off.

Mimi rubbed her temples and let out a groan.

"Just be back in 20. We can't leave without you."

Juliet nodded and headed off to Mr. T's house, but was stopped by two little pigs.

"Hey, little guys. Are you lost? Do you have an owner?"

She searched for a tag, but didn't see one, so she claimed them as her own and took them with her. Arriving at Mr. Time's house, she rang the bell.

Ding.
Dong.
Ding.

The door opened.

"Ahh, what brings you here, Princess Juliet?" greeted Time.

"We're about to head on back to Earth for the school season and I wanted to say goodbye."

"Well that was thoughtful. I will miss your company, Miss Priss,"

Juliet began to walk off, when she was stopped.

"Oh, can you wait one second. I have something for you and your sisters!"

He walked outside and stepped in front of his well he said some strange words and all of a sudden a giant portal appeared in front of him.

"Stay back," he instructed, as Juliet watched him walk in.

He came back out with a crystal ball in his hand.

"This is for you and your sisters. It will give you magical powers. I thought you would appreciate it. "

"What kind of powers?"questioned Juliet, anxiously.

"You'll just have to wait and see, Dear. Now run off. I'm sure your sisters are waiting for you."

She waved goodbye and was on her way. She didn't know how Mimi and Bugz were going to react to the pigs, but she took her chances anyway. After a short walk, she arrived back at the cottage doorsteps.

She walked into the living room and could hear her sisters' chatter from the kitchen.

"I'm home!"

They came walking out and immediately were shocked at what they saw.

"Juliet, what's are those??" questioned Bugz, pointing at the pigs

"These are my new pets. The boy is Ceysil and the girl is Lulu." introduced Juliet.

"Juliet, you can't just go stealing other people's farm animals." sighed Mimi.

"I didn't. I found them, wandering all alone in the woods. They could've died out there."
