Dear Diary,

There's no need to say hello,
Because our first meeting will be our goodbye's.

End.

Something's fishy, Christy thought on her way to the restroom after excusing herself to Professor Corley. She had felt something bothering her, like something bad is going to happen, since this morning she stepped her foot on the school. The Principal's excellent birthday party will be held this Saturday, which means they (the Weirdie Stars) have 2 days to solve the case on Professor Chris and there's yet another feeling of something disastrous coming for them. Sometimes Christy thinks how bad is to be born involved with the group.

She continued to walk to the girls' restroom and found out that all the water taps were flooding the whole room and also making their way to the space outside the restroom. Soon water will be everywhere in the third floor, and coming down to the second floor, eventually everywhere in the school, as she expected that the same thing is happening in every restroom in all three floors. The non-stop flooding shocked Christy badly and her brain buffered for a second until she couraged herself to step inside the restroom and tried to turn off the water taps in the sinks and every possible water connectors in the restroom, toilet, but to her poor luck, she only wasted her time making failed attempts. Her shoes were already wet as she carefully walked outside the restroom and saw five teachers in the scene, thinking about what to do about the matter.

A social studies teacher impatiently asked her, "Was it you who caused all of this?!"

"No, of course not, Professor! I just came here to pee and found all the water taps turned on and couldn't be turned off!" Christy exclaimed as she answered. The other teacher signaled her to go back to class and she, without any question, obeyed after a sight at the flood of the third floor. She walked back slowly to her class careful not to let her slip because of the wetness of the ceramic tiles. Meters in front of her, she could see her brother walking quickly to the Principal's Room, footsteps quick but surely he will not slip.

"Professor Nathaniel!" She yelled and it did catch Nathaniel's attention as he turned his head to look at his sister walking to him. He waited until she was close enough for him to talk genuinely.

"What's all this? Why is the school being flooded? Are you informing the Mr. Edward even though you already knew that he's probably informed about it by the others?"

"Use your ability a bit!" Nathaniel suddenly yelled to Christy's surprise, raising in voice, as they continued to walk together to the destination room. "This is urgent and the WS are trying to find the source of the problem. You should be careful because we'll need your help in this case,"

He stopped talking in front of the Principal's door and slammed the door open, realizing that the third floor's completely flooded out since the Principal's Room is also wet, and went straight to Mr. Principal who was sitting without any worries in his face, hitting the table and stared at the older man intensely.

"Why are you not ringing the emergency bell?! This is danger! Get all the students out of here!" He yelled angrily.

"Niel, Niel, calm down, will you? The pros are already in their way so there's no need to-"

"Listen to me. This is a real dangerous situation we're facing. This is just the beginning of all and I've already traced the culprit's whole plan. Make an official announcement and get EVERYONE OUT OF THIS SCHOOL!"

"The flood will be stopped soon and there's no guarantee that the so-called culprit planned all this. Accidents happen, don't they? Now get back to your class, the students are-"
