Chapter One

"Nova!" called a high-pitched, squeaky voice. "Nova, wake up!" Nova's eyes fluttered open to the sight of Comet hovering over her. Startled, Nova kicked Comet off of her bed. Comet flew across the room and hit the closet doors. Quickly, Nova realised her mistake. She hastily got off her bed and went over to Comet.

"Sorry!" apologised Nova, her voice full of guilt. "I didn't mean to- y-you startled me!" Nova struggled to apologise to her dear friend. Comet looked up at her, cheerfulness in her lavender eyes.

"You silly," her long, vibrant purple hair scattered messily across her face. "You really have to get used to your powers." Nova stared at Comet awkwardly. She scratched the back of her head. Nova's hair was a loose mess. Like a birds nest. Comet's was neatly brushed until Nova had kicked her across the room on accident.

"Where's Ira and Venise?" questioned Nova, trying to get away from the situation. "Are they awake?"

"Mhm!" Nova suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Sorry you had to wake-" Comet cut off Nova.

"You apologise too much," Comet grumbled playfully. "C'mon, breakfast is ready!" Nova swiftly raced Comet down the stairs of the home. Once they came into sight, Venise and Ira greeted them.

"Good morning Nova," Venise greeted her formally, her makeup all done up at eight in the morning. "I hope you rested well." Ira, on the other hand, or... paw... greeted Nova more carelessly.

"Hi." Said Ira, her voice tired and lower than the others. Obviously, she had also been woken up a few moments ago as well. Nova sat down at the table, Comet next to her. In front of her, lay a plate with a stack of pancakes on top.

"These look delicious, Comet!" Nova exclaimed, excitedly. Comet chuckled a little.

"Thank you, Nova," Comet looked at Venise and Ira, they both nodded in agreement. "These do look delicious, let's dig in!"

Nova ventured up into her room again. She called down to Comet, "Thank you for the food!" She looked at herself in the mirror and told herself she had to get dressed and tame this wild hair. Nova slipped into a purple tank top, grey shorts, and black sneakers. She also put on her customized black, orange, and purple arm sleeves on. Lastly, Nova tied a purple ribbon around her right leg. Now, for her hair. Nova had long, blood red hair, that always seemed to get knots in them after she brushed out her hair for 30 minutes straight. All of a sudden, Venise burst through her door.

"Nova!" Exclaimed Venise, her voice choked with worry. Nova stared into her Venise's eyes that were glossy due to her tearing up.

"What?" Nova questioned. Venise lifted her arm up, and a brush flew into her hand.

"We must get rid of all those knots, immediately!" Venise forced Nova into a chair with her mind, and began to brush like crazy. A few minutes, which felt like hours, of brushing later, Venise had tackled the multiple knots and tangles in Nova's hair. And she finished it of with a high ponytail.

"Thank you, Venise," spoke Nova. "I highly appreciate it." Whenever Nova was around Venise, she always had to seem like a 'higher class' than she already was. Venise was 'that' type of girl. She had her face drowned in makeup and wore the colour combination of pink and pastel orange. Venise was kind, generous, but she can get serious when there is danger. And danger to Venise is like having a single strand of hair out of place.

"I'm gonna go get the other two," announced Venise. "I expect you to be ready for duty in half an hour." Nova nodded slowly as Venise left the room to bother Comet and Ira. Nova sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. She blankly stared at herself and her reflection stared blankly back at her. Nova stood up, quickly tied her laces, and went back down the stairs.
